ThePutty posted:If you're Australian, Soundwave is looking pretty horrible, aside from a few bands here and there. You'd probably get more out of going to a club that plays metal. I counted five bands that I'd be moderately interested in seeing. Guys, how non-metal am I?

Sab669 posted:Can anyone recommend some bands similar to Diablo Swing Orchestra? A friend of mine recently showed them to me, and they sound like nothing I've heard before and I've to find more like it since they only have two albums They're definitely a very unique band, their debut album is one of my favourite albums of all time. The closest I've come to them in terms of style would be Stolen Babies, they're not quite the same, but maybe they'll do the job for you. I remember reading that the dude who writes DSO's music is a big fan of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpxesBrb8Ag

I can't help but feel like this is all just some sort of delusional farce fueled by pity for a senile old man.

The new Cynic EP sucks. I am quite sad.

MoreMetalBrian posted:Polkadot Cadaver has the people (or at least lead singer) from Dog Fashion Disco, right? Yeah, they're kind of neat. It's strange that they were touring with folk metal bands, that's just silly.

I don't know how I haven't listened to Wuthering Heights before, these guys are awesome. I haven't found a power metal band (or whatever you want to call these guys) in YEARS that I've enjoyed, but this poo poo just instantly grabbed me. Fantastic, I'm grabbing Salt as soon as I can.EvilMoJoJoJo posted:Just remembered that Revolver magazine named Korn's "dubstep" album their best record of the year.  Korn also apparently invented dubstep. quote:Jonathan Davis says his band invented dubstep long before it became a staple of club music.

Moonsorrow's Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa and Haken's Visions were probably my favourite releases of the year. I'm a huge Moonsorrow bitch, everything they release is gold to me. Disappointments abound with Opeth, Mastodon, Cynic, and Devin Townsend, among other less noteworthy bands. Ignorant controversy edit: Agalloch isn't that good and will forever be a poor man's Moonsorrow. The White EP is their best release.

het posted:Yeah, this doesn't surprise me at all. I sort of feel bad for the die-hard fans, because the band really departed from what had made them unique (though I obviously am more of a fan of the new album). I'm not sure any other band really is doing this combination of chorus vocals and catchy repetitive riffing sort of crossing power metal with melodeath. I would have expected Turisas to go in this sort of direction before Tyr really. Monkeytime was the one who spurred me to really give this album a chance, and I think he said he'd read an interview where they said they made a deliberate decision to go for a catchier/poppier angle. I really loved Ragnarok and still do. Every album after that has just drifted further and further from the style that I liked of theirs. The music has devolved into really kinda boring straight forward stuff. It's too bad, they had something really unique going on. Heljareyga (Henri's side project) kind of fulfills what I was looking for, but it's just not the same  Nordick posted:Stand Up And Fight is actually a loving fantastic album. Vikings on Broadway sound ftw. I was also kind of disappointed with what Turisas decided to do as well, that album did not do it for me at all. The Varangian Way was awesome with its weird prog hintings, but the band decided to go for the ultra catchy chorus route instead of fleshing the prog elements out a little more.

YeahTubaMike posted:So their lyrics get a little weird. Leave them alone, they're Finns and they make metal. There are so many things to complain about in Stand Up And Fight -- the words are the least of its problems. Hey, I absolutely love that song too. The lyrics are weird but I don't feel that same sense of shameful embarrassment from reading those as I did with Fear the Fear. It helps that I don't know what the hell he is talking about. I don't think we'll ever see Turisas make a song like "Cursed Be Iron" or "The Dnieper Rapids" again. It's a shame. Orbital Sapling fucked around with this message at 10:43 on Dec 25, 2011 |

If anyone is a fan of crazyass fretless bass technical death metal work, check out Beyond Creation. I came across them checking out where Augury's bassist Forest went. Definitely worth a listen if you're into weird technical music.
