I enjoy every Immolation album but the last couple are a step down from the very underrated Majesty and Decay.

Man don’t even get me started about that. I was hyping that album like crazy back when it came out and no one was paying attention on lesser forums. That one riff in A Token Of Malice fuuuuuuuck

:woop: Enslaved's 'E' is out. :woop:


edit: There's some crazy prog experimentation on this album. Probably more than they've ever done. There's a saxophone on one track.

America's $1 Funnyman

I look forward to checking that out, sax is generally welcome for me. Saw Enslaved a few years ago with Amon Amarth, was good. Electric Six rocks live but they don't bring a sax guy for Danger High Voltage, would be icing on the cake I say.

Which of those would you suggest grabbing if I wanted to pick one? I need to spend some time reading about Lemmy for sure.

That is a tough question. I'd say go for White Line Fever if picking one, but there may be room for two Lemmy books on your shelf. They compliment each other well, and there's plenty more than 300 pages of great Lemmy material to be had.

Mick Wall's is a harder angle and more "behind the music", while very informative and comprehensive. And does have a lot of great Lemmy quotes. Lemmy's autobiography is more bang for your Lemmy buck though, a bit more laidback, and well more Lemmy. I dig both books but if I gotta vote for the one, White Line Fever.

Saxes in metal are usually awful and corny but Lugubrum managed to make it work sometimes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ruaXrG-3wU I don't really recommend the more recent albums though, they're a bit too wacky.

The Scion stuff should still be a thing. I wonder what happened to it.

Klaaz posted:

The production is what I noticed coming back to it. It’s not the best Immolation album ever but the production they have on it fits so well. Warm and punchy. It’s a shame more death metal bands don’t go for something similar.

Sounds good, I appreciate it. I think a direct dose of Lemmy is what I want so I’ll grab that one sometime and keep the other in my amazon wishlist for later reading.

It makes a lot more sense if you listen to the new member's other band. Seven Impale is basically jazz-prog.

You'll probably get a better answer out of the metalcore thread re: Trivium, but for those that do like Trivium most people agree Shogun is their best album followed by Ascendancy

I would personally put In Waves at the top, then Ascendancy, then The Crusade, then everything else with Vengeance Falls dead loving last because it has David Draiman all over it. Silence in the Snow was basically a power metal album and was polarizing. Their new one is shaping up to be decent.

I've still got some of those. I saw Immolation around that time and Bob Vigna was at a table handing out free CDs. They had EPs by Immolation, Wormrot, and Enslaved in cardboard sleeves.

The Wormrot one is really good. Melvins also had a solid one. I also saw that Immolation tour (the one with Jungle Rot and Gigan).

Any other good rock books or biographies? Or could be any music genre, just being metal or offbeat in some way makes for interesting stories.

Devin Townsend - Only Half There

It's a really good, humorous, and oddly inspiring/uplifting read. If you have the $$s splurge for the hard cover, it is one of the most beautiful looking and feeling books I've ever read. The cover is semi-transparent, and so are all of the pages of the book and feel like silk ("Only Half There" get it?).

I think it would be enjoyable for anyone to read, he does part biography and part music business and has lots of anecdotes peppered in.

That Trivium would do a power metal album is hardly surprising. They are massive fans of Maiden and Metallica.
Also someone being upset about Trivium is kinda hilarious, cause they are so non offensive. Good stuff to have in the background.
I kinda liked Silence, and your list matches mine.

In the vein of going back to their roots, the singer from At The Gates is old school Swedish death in The Lurking Fear. And two former members from In Flames are doing the same now in Cyhra.
