I didn't really enjoy TBDM until Ritual, but I think that is a really enjoyable record.

Father_Johann posted:Didn't they headline Warped Tour last year? SELLOUTS. I'm actually kind of agreeing with that. I like the last two albums way more than any of the earlier stuff, that's for sure. I seemed to have mostly overlooked their boring albums. I can maybe see a little bit of At the Gates but Arsis (who I don't really like except for a few songs) seems way closer. I actually grabbed an At The Gates tee at a festival with Soilwork, Pig Destroyer, and In Flames right when In Flames turned terrible. Everyone was really confused because In Flames unfurled this banner that was in exactly the same font and design as the original Star Wars logo (black and yellow, too) that said "Gothenburg Hard Rock" on it.

TBDM started off as a poo poo mallcore band with more grunty vocals than the masses. They've evolved quite a bit, but I can't see them getting a lot of love around here. I'm on the fence with them, tbh. As for anyone with the option of seeing Satyricon, it's worth it to do so, even now. I saw them tour with Chthonic and Toxic Holocaust and that was a killer show. All three of them were good. Satyr does a lot of between song chatter and he, tbh, makes the show. Frost was boring as gently caress, though, as he always is. /sigh

I was really excited about seeing In Flames after I caught them still in support of Clayman in early 2002, then Reroute to Remain leaked and those Star Wars pictures started popping up everywhere and I went gently caress that to the Slayer/In Flames tour. i wish in flames would stop making albums every year it is no longer 2002

muike posted:i wish in flames would stop making albums every year it is no longer 2002 I...really like the Soilwork double album. I had written them off years ago like In Flames but it really pulls all the Devin Townsend influence in and finally makes it work, at least for me. I even got a few of my friends who hated the newer stuff to like it.

This Belgian band, Excess of Cruelty, for all I know could be familiar to all, but I don't think I'd ever heard their name mentioned til I stumbled across their sole album one day not too long ago (online, of course; can't find the physical thing, dammit). Definitely in the Dissection/Unanimated vein moreso than the Gothenburg thing, however. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmoivfJ43OM Also, Enforsaken's The Forever Endeavor is without question my favorite Sweden-by-way-of-Illinois album. The number of supremely wicked riffs on this thing is just silly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSGfOlPnJMQ Von Sloneker fucked around with this message at 04:52 on Feb 23, 2014 |

So, Van Canto are playing in London, about 20 minutes from where I live. I reckon I will go even though they are ridiculous but I figure it might be fun.

I'm vaguely tempted by the Van Canto gig, just for the fun as well. Though I'm not really sure if it's worth spending the time off work for. I guess it can't be any worse than Dragonforce...

I remember there being some Iron Savior fans in this thread, so I figured this might be relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ie2ZyIvs7JI New album coming out soon, and by the samples it doesn't sound half bad! Piet Sielck has come a long way as a vocalist, too.

I'm just gonna head down after work and see what its all about I guess. Also at Underworld is some Troll/Folk metal show with Trollfest and Finterfrost. Might also be fun, they have banjos and poo poo. henpod fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Feb 23, 2014 |

Yeah if I could just stroll up, I'd totally go. Been hurting for good gigs recently, I blame the fact no one plays here (apart from handful of local bands) so I always have to go to London. I'll await the trip report. EDIT: New Iron Savior clip is sounding pretty nice too. Shall have to keep an eye on it for post birthday CD purchasing.

Iron Savior's name sounds like one of those straight to video knock off movie titles like Transmorphers, or Hunter vs. The alien.

Anyone who secretly (or not so secretly) likes the first three Freedom Call albums should check out their new one, Beyond. A totally cheesy, chorus and trumpet filled return to form.

Why do Metal bands , once go mainstream tend to forget what people mostly enjoyed and gave money for? Do I blame the record companies? Or do they literally just change over time to what the radio plays?

Or do they literally just change over time to what the radio plays? I think it's just the default to follow trends once you lose the initial spark that caused you to get into music/become a band. I don't think it's a problem unique to metal, but art in general. Think about it, if you are an artist who has said all he wanted to say, the band is still your livelihood. You've invested a good part of your life into it. Not many people are willing just to outright quit after all of that. You still need some direction to continue, following trends is just the path of least resistance.
