If people are still looking for new old-school death metal, you can't go wrong with Brutally Deceased: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNrPpBiqqqs, they're pretty good Dismember-y stuff.

For blackened speedy metal, I like Nocturnal Breed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVDJOF1CseA and Abigail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9BFaztWle4

Insane - Wait and Pray is a phenomenally good ripoff of early Slayer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cNDxOsPb2M

The only Keep of Kalessin I can recommend is their full-length Armada and the EP they did with Attila Csihar and Frost, Reclaim. Their two albums since Armada are... not so good, I think. But I really do like that album and that EP.

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
Fair enough. I think a lot of the affection I have for Armada is because it was one of my gateway albums way back when. So either way, I'd definitely recommend Keep of Kalessin in general to someone interested in black metal stuff.

Heavy metal recommendations:

Megadeth has a new album coming out in June 2013, and they're doing a UK tour in support of it.

Megadeth posted:

Currently working in their studio in San Diego on their 14th studio album titled Super Collider, Mustaine, along with bassist Dave Ellefson, drummer Shawn Drover and guitarist Chris Broderick, are looking forward to its release in June 2013.

Megadeth’s Super Collider is the first release through Mustaine’s new label, Tradecraft, through UMe.

“It was a real thrill for us to learn there was an opportunity to join Universal,” said Mustaine during a break in the sessions. “It seems like every time you see a great band or music video, it comes from the Universal label. Being with Universal is by far the most exciting and prestigious home for Megadeth ever! We are electrified with what the future holds and the possibilities such a powerhouse like Universal will bring for us all. We have worked with some great people over the years, and it is amazing to see so many of them on the Universal team for our new record, Super Collider. If Megadeth being here isn’t satiating enough, having Tradecraft as my own label is going to be really amazing for metal bands around the world.”

Relevant news, I guess. Although I couldn't get into Thirteen at all.

Death Angel reminds me, tangentially, of one of the greatest thrash metal albums ever. Have you heard Dark Angel - Darkness Descends yet?

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
YES, forever, at Dark Quarterer. Actually, I think their production on the 1987 original is really good, it's got an excellent guitar tone. I'm not a fan of their other albums as much, but Dark Quarterer is phenomenal. I don't know that any of the compositions needed a bunch of strings and keyboards added to them.

Yeah, second Artillery. Have you guys heard Aspid - Extravasation? Really cool Russian tech-thrash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEIKl0ZZ4h0 Aspid - "Hey You (Pink Floyd cover)"

This is a metal thread. What else would we talk about?

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
Have you guys heard Luciferion - The Apostate? The first five tracks are really awesome death metal, extremely fast-paced and riffy but with cool synthesizers and a shitload of Dark City samples. Skip the rest of the album, it's really bad demo versions of their mediocre first album. (Check it out if you're really hard-up for early Morbid Angel clones.)

Feb 10, 2013
I'll agree with you. I like Hell Awaits a fair amount, and I haven't listened to Show No Mercy much, but I don't really care about Reign in Blood. I think a lot of the attempted heaviness just sort of turned into mush.

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
I don't know about that, even by 1985 and 1986 there were a lot of incredibly fast, heavy, proto-death-y thrash metal albums. And then you have poo poo like Master's Unreleased 1985 Album that would have been nearly a decade ahead of its time. Slayer were certainly pretty popular, but I don't know that they were an indispensable piece of extreme metal's evolution.

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
That's probably why nobody has been doing that? People have mostly been comparing them to a bunch of other bands from the mid-80s.

Eternal Devastation and Antichrist, I think.

Someone mentioned Nekromantheon in this topic, right? Because holy poo poo. Even the doofy reverb they throw in the vocals is, somehow, completely perfect.

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
The new Centurian album arrived for me today! It's good so far. It sounds just like Ixaxaar and Liber Zar Zax, although the production includes a better low end. (Tradeoff: The vocals are doofily overprocessed.) Glad it came out.

NP: Origin - "5. Saligia" - [(2011) Entity]
There's a lot of talk about tech-death, can anyone recommend stuff that's specifically like later Origin? Kind of spacey, but still pretty good song structure and awesome riffs. So not Rings of Saturn.

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
Haha, I've actually heard of them! I was really big into Colonizing the Sun a few years ago. Definitely stuff in that vein, I should relisten to it.

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
Supuration I've maybe heard once but not for a while, I'll check them out again. And I haven't heard Paranormal Waltz, thanks!

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
Yeah, Mithras is definitely going for Formulas Fatal to the Flesh II for a lot of their material, good call.

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
Tribulation - The Formulas of Death finally arrived. It's pretty awesome. Lots of great decompressed noodly bits, and they completely nailed the production. It's also sort of amusing and awesome how totally different it is from The Horror.

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
This is probably my ignorance talking, but it seems like Black Metal wasn't actually as influential to most of the black metal of the last twenty years as, say, Transilvanian Hunger or some other second-wave album that got cloned forty million times.

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
Good point on Bathory, and there's definitely no denying that the second-wave dudes were inspired by the first-wave dudes. Thanks for the responses.

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
Keep of Kalessin's first two albums aren't that interesting, though. Reclaim and Armada are their actually good material. I mean, Agnen has a bit of good stuff, but ehhh.

Let's see how this new material goes. Can't be as doofy as Reptilian... At least it's a bit faster.

It's been long enough since I listened to Truth Inside the Shades and Core that I mostly have fond memories of them, but I'm listening to Persfone's newest album and I think they seriously are just trying to make a joke with these now. I don't really get it.

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
Persefone has always been kind of goofy melodic death metal with overelaborate arrangements and instrumentation and stuff, but I swear for Spiritual Migration they've reached new levels of stuff. There's a lot of random chugging, really bad vocals, extended noodling alternating between heavily-processed guitars and synths, etc.

Do you guys have any recommendations for stuff like Mirrorthrone? I haven't heard much symphonic black metal stuff but there's also not much I like as much as Carriers of Dust and, to a lesser extent, Gangrene. I'm also not as big a fan of Cochet's other projects. Can't put it specifically, so I'll just toss it out there.

NP: Mirrorthrone - "4. Ils Brandiront Leurs Idoles" - [(2006) Carriers of Dust]

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
I've barely listened to Amon Amarth in forever, and the only songs I can really remember are "Versus the World" and "Asator". Have they done any other fast songs since "Asator"?

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
Something about the new lead guitar tone doesn't sit right with me. It reminds me a lot of the robobuzzy tech-death tone of, to pick an example at random, Allegaeon. It's not that extreme, a lot of it still sounds more like their older stuff, but I preferred the sound they had on their last couple. Song is cool though.

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
Since it's been a page or two, can I repost my request for stuff that sounds like Mirrorthrone? Again, don't know too much other symphonic black metal, but really enjoy Carriers of Dust and Gangrene.

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
Is there a, uh, "convenient" way to get that Erimha album? M-A says it was self-released, and their current label Victory doesn't seem to carry it.

(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
Goatwhore is great driving music. Blood for the Master is just a dense little bundle of riffs. It's got fairly clean production, but it's still got a pretty sweet guitar tone. I hope I get another chance to see them live, the last time was years ago and they were just supporting Exodus.

John Magnum
Feb 10, 2013
I finally listened to Opus Eponymous and Infestissumam and I'm mad at the people who described them to me as "like Blue Oyster Cult" or "like Deep Purple".
