Not really heavy metal at all, but Chon is coming up with a new album in a few weeks and it sounds to be good.

Coming to you straight from Sumerian Records, home of diverse artists such as Periphery, Animals as Leaders and... Bizzy Bone....

Janelle Shane of Postcards From The Frontiers Of Science recently fed over 100,000 metal band names, subgenres and countries of origin from metal-archives.com into an open source neural network framework. It was done in a bid to have the program convincingly generate various fictitious metal bands on its own. Here’s what the program wound up spitting out after gleaming what it could from that dataset:

quote:

“Dragonred of Blood – Death Metal – Indonesia
Deathhouse – Melodic Death Metal – Brazil
Vultrum – Folk/Black Metal – Germany
Stäggabash – Black Metal – Canada
Deathcrack – Death Metal – Mexico
Stormgarden – Black Metal – Germany
Vermit – Thrash Metal/Crossover,/Deathcore – United States
Swiil – Progressive Metal/Shred – United States
Inbumblious – Doom/Gothic Metal – Germany
Inhuman Sand – Melodic Death Metal – Russia
ChaosWorge le Plague – Doom Metal – Brazil
Inhum the Thorg – Black Metal – Slovenia
Chaosrug – Black Metal – Mexico
Jazzy – Heavy Metal – United States
Sux – Heavy Metal/Hard Rock – Chile
Dragonsulla and Steelgosh – Heavy Metal – Tuera
Verking of the Beats – Thrash Metal/Crossover Thrashcore – Netherlands
Squeen – Doom Metal – Colombia
Death from the Trend – Black Metal – Croatia
Shuck – Death Metal – Israel
Dragorhast – Heavy Metal/Hard Rock – Germany
Verb – Black Metal – Norway
Black Clonic Sky – Black Metal – Greece
Snapersten – Folk/Melodic Black Metal – Italy
Verk – Melodic Death Metal – Sweden
Snee – Thrash/Death Metal – Brazil
Vomberdean – Melodic Black Metal – United States
Suffer the Blue – Death/Thrash Metal – Germany
Sespessstion Sanicilevus – Melodic Death Metal – United States
Sköpprag – Black Metal – Norway
Sht – Symphonic/Heavy Metal – United States
Sun Damage Omen – Symphonic Progressive Metal – France”

would absolutely give Chaosrug a shot

The new Alestorm songs are catchy and all but seem quite simple and repetitive, even for them. I hope they have a few more 'epic' tracks on there.

Album is actually on youtube right now, as is the 'For Dogs' version. I imagine they won't last long.

Edit - yep it's gone. A little disappointed really, a lot of it is mid-tempo and sound very much like things they've done before. Still, this is Alestorm so that's a given. Dog's version is funny though.

Well the album does have a few songs on it that are a bit less cheesebally. The band's always been about the ridiculously catchy singalong songs to me, so I don't mind the simplicity.* And they're using plenty of that fake trumpet keyboard sound again, which reminds me of their debut album a lot. After a couple listens I'd say the album is not outstanding, but definitely not a disappointment either. Just a solid Alestorm slab.

*: Not saying I don't love their more epic songs like The Battle of Cartagena, because I totally do.

Great bands! Got to see Warbringer with Enforcer and Cauldron last year. Fun when they mix thrash with heavy/speed metal bands on a lineup.

Sadly could only do Saturday/Sunday of MDF this year, but it ended up being that most of hte bands I wanted to see were those two days anyway. Loved the new setup, always hated the sound at edison, plus the long distance walk.

Most exciting thing by far was finally getting to see Root, one of my favorite bands ever. I didn't have high hopes for them live, especially with Big Boss being fairly old/unhealthy, but everything sounded spot on. Made the trip worth it alone

Favorite Sets:
Father Befouled
Root
Exhumer
Goolagoon(didnt check out much soundstage, but randomly saw them and they were heavy as hell)
Insect Warfare - One of hte other bands I went for, insane show. Rahi is the greatest front man ever, no one tops his between song banter in either this or War Master.
Oranssi Pazuzu - Another one I was super stoked for that delivered. Much more angry and intense live than the albums even bring across, even on newer material.
Candlemass - Nightfall in full, everything sounded fantastic even without Messiah.

Also best part of the weekend was getting a a Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys Part II shirt off Sabi(the guy with the huge shirt booth in the corner) which was the only one he had, which hes had hidden in his stock for I think he said 15 years,"SUPER RARE!". Also got what he said was the only approved shirt press of Bolt Thrower - Mercenary.

Also, over the weekend my band put out a split with Macabra(one of the bands of Mark Riddick, a pretty big metal artist if you are unfamiliar).

ya this weekend was insane.. the setup was better than the outdoor stages imo, more time to relax in between sets and get food and drinks and merch shop and still catch everything I really wanted to.

I enjoyed these bands the most:

North
Conan
Decrepit Birth.. playing Crystal Mountain as the closer was a very nice touch too
Skeletal Remains
Morbid Saint
Sargeist
Noothgrush which might be the angriest band around
UADA... maybe the best performance of them all
Exhumed
Exumer
Agoraphobic Nosebleed
...I wanted to go see Insect Warfare but I thought Grave was too good to leave, then after I saw IW being streamed and drat I started to regret it a bit
Junior Bruce
Behexen
Akercocke
Candlemass.. so.. loving.. heavy

I also bought Bolt Thrower and Demolition Hammer shirts from that guy, he rules.

I don't go to mdf but every year a few of the bands also play in NYC so I love that it brings them to the east coast. Noothgrush played with Iron Lung at Saint Vitus and both were great.

They played one song off the new Kargeras album, which from what I've seen has gotten a better reception. Ive only had one chance to listen to it so far but I liked it, so might be worth checking out if you havent. I haven't gotten into any other non-blackie albums, but I enjoyed the new Kargeras.

Other then that everything else they played was off Blackie. A guy I know in Chicago whos form Czech and has known Big Boss since before the first album said Big Boss wanted to play an old school set since its their first, and possible last due to age/health, show in the USA. He wanted to play what he knew people wanted to hear. That fest was worth the trip for me alone, one of my favorite bands.

I was watching the time and left Grave in time for Insect Warfare. No way was I missing Rahi's stage banter. Dude is the funniest guy on stage out of anyone. "LEMME SEE THAT SHIRT, THIS A BOOTLEG?! WHO THE gently caress MADE THIS, IMMA FIND YOU"

They're the death metal equivalent of a metalcore band that does nothing but breakdowns. Or Bolt Thrower if they couldn't write an interesting riff to save their lives.

MDF was great, it has come a long way from the shitshow that used to cut off their headliners while they played in a parking lot, under a bridge, or in a vinyl tent. They still had a couple shitheads working there, though.

The three bands that impressed me the most were Root, Acheron, and Candlemass - I had doubts about all of them going in, but they were incredible! Angelcorpse were a hell of a surprise, too. Sargeist, Behexen, Uada, Autopsy, Morbid Saint, and others were great, and all except MS were better than the previous times I had seen them.
