Vintersorg posted:I don't think I "get" Anthrax, people praise them as some thrash gods but the poo poo I hear is so weak. Especially on vocals, it just takes me right out of everything. They loving suck. I prefer stuff more along the lines of Sodom, Overkill, Razor, etc. Its more on the punk end of thrash I think. I prefer thrash like Overkill much more myself as well.

Holy Grail is pretty good too. They are the guys from the first White Wizzard EP that all got fired.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Meh, I'm not digging the new Megadeth at all. No tracks are really standing out to me. Sure there's shredding, but the rest of the song is just boring. Most catchy song is Public Enemy #1, and that's a decent track. Endgame was so much better IMO. I like the style, he kind of combined all of the stuff that I like about the whole Megadeth collection into one album. Problem is, he took all those ideas turned them into boring riffs.

Optimum Gulps posted:Which era of Death are you listening to? If it's Symbolic/The Sound of Perseverance, then you should check out the band Illogicist. They're about as close as you're going to get to the technical/progressive sound Death had towards the end. Finally got a chance to give this a go. Holy crap this sounds like Death. Even the style of the solos is Chuck. I've only heard a couple songs, not bad so far.

BjornOfBorg posted:Seated metal concerts is the strangest phenomenon ever and I don't think I've ever encountered it anywhere in Europe. Other than when Opeth came rolling around with their Damnation tour, where it actually made sense other than their opening band playing a normal metal set. I saw Saxon in some small town in Illinois late last year and it was the same thing. Worst part is that it was enforced! They kicked out some drunk dude because an older guy was offended. Dude just wanted to rock out. Saxon ruled, but the venue blew.

Monkeytime posted:Regarding the CD question, I guess I would if we were talking $1-2 a CD, I rarely buy CDs at all anymore though. Same here, if I buy a CD, I immediately rip it, so the disc is more collection stuff for me. I prefer to just buy it on vinyl. For playback, I use CDR's because I tend to ruin them. However, I think that many of my friends have and would buy a CD and book and just provide their own jewel case, but they are major into trading.

You stream the entire album here... HAIL SATAN!!! I know this is a few pages back, but goddamn, Attic rules. The best Fate worship I've yet to hear.

Johnny Aztec posted:Okay, so Manowar announced their US tour dates, and the closest they will be to me is Chicago, 8 hour drive. I'm thinking about the Chicago show, but that's about $100 for a ticket. It will be so bad, but so awesome.

sleepingbuddha posted:That's insane. I saw them at a small club in the NW Chicago suburbs in 1997 for $15. It was a great show, Eric kept grabbing women from the front row and pulled them on stage so he could make out with them. Was that with Immortal? I saw Manowar and Immortal in Aurora (I think) quite a while back, not sure the year.

If anyone can tell me a way of having someone else pick them up, I got two tickets that I would rather someone use. No charge. Could be rough there tonight with metal so loud it cracks the beams. http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/local/chicago_news&id=9424454

AgentJotun posted:How are the Manowar guys aging? Can Eric Adams still sing at 61? Also I mainly lurk the metal thread but when I do post its usually to remind everyone that the first 4 Manowar albums are some of the best metal ever recorded! They, particularly Eric, LOOK really old. They still put on a fantastic show and sounded great.

Gamma Nerd posted:You need to listen to Hibria's first 2 albums and Pharaoh's discog in that case. The more heavy/speed influenced side of power metal will be your poo poo if you like Lost Horizon and BG. Lost Horizon are, like, my favorite (non-extreme) metal band ever, partially because I can't really find much stuff like them at all. Agreed, add hibria s new album to that list too.

King Diamond puts on one hell of a show, easily the best I've been to this year, one of the top shows I've ever been to. Right up there with Maiden .
