That track is fantastic and it's already one of my favorites of theirs. I'm surprised I'm not seeing more hype for the new album here. RIITIIR can't come fast enough. It also has some kickass cover art:

Sam Dunn's trying to finance a "Lost Episode" of Metal Evolution based on Extreme Metal, since it was apparently too extreme for VH1. http://www.indiegogo.com/extrememetal/ It was a pretty sweet series, and while I'd rather see a whole second season, this is cool too.

Fiendish Dr. Wu posted:Actually just googled this and came up with How Meshuggah invented Djent, and Periphery perfected Djent. I've been listening to metal since I was a kid and followed all sorts of subgenres throughout the years, and Djent is the first time I can't tell how a sound supposedly separates itself from all other metal. I understand the technique, and some of it sounds quite good. What I don't understand is how it's a subgenre or how anyone pioneered or invented it. It's like calling palm muting a genre, or use of arpeggios. You can attribute whatever technique you want to Eddie Van Halen, but that doesn't make Eddie Van Halen a genre. It's not even a new technique either; industrial metal has been doing the downtuned staccato chugging sound since forever, albeit mainly with sequencers rather than guitar technique. I guess I could accept that as a definition: Playing like it's industrial metal without machines doing the chugging.

I don't know how they've managed to do this consistently every 1-2 years since 1991, but Enslaved is recording in the studio for their 13th album and expected to finish in early November, according to Ivar on their Facebook page.

So for the most part I recognize we're all complete metal pedants, so we always break things down into further and further subgenres. I read something on Metal Injection talking about "nu-djent", which blends nu-metal with djent - or rather just chugging guitars with angry rap-metal. The djent part of it pretty much depends on whether you like Meshuggah soundalikes, but to me the nu-metal aspect of it just sound like the same tired angsty stuff from the 00s everyone's been sick of for years. It also just makes me think of "Nugent" every time I try to sound it out, so there's that. Anyway, I ask because I'm curious about the newest subgenres you've heard of existing? I mean whether or not it actually has any credence of being an actual subgenre. I just like to learn what styles people are coming up with, even if they completely suck. \/\/\/I don't disagree. It's like calling pinch harmonics a genre. Still looking for things people call genres though. sticklefifer fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Nov 15, 2014 |

Gamma Nerd posted:never mind, I found the actual best brutal dm track titles I like how  is on the wall for no apparent reason.Fenrir posted:Eh, to all you guys who gave up on Fear Factory, they got better... The Industrialist is actually pretty goddamn good. As someone who was into them since SOANM, I found The Industrialist pretty boring. Archetype was pretty much been their only good album since Obsolete. The lineup poo poo the bed again after that because Burt decided he was Fear Factory and nobody else, and forgot to tell the rest of them before making another album. If they'd just bury all their hatchets and go back to the classic lineup of Bell/Cazares/Wolbers/Herrera, they'd probably be worth listening to again.

Album trailer for the new Enslaved: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFyu4ugMrXo It's a video about the cover art, but it previews one of the songs throughout, and I think the snippet of the song at the end is also new. So hype.

CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:On the note of Fear Factory, I probably haven't even listened to them in 10 years. I bet if I go back and listen to Demanufacture I'll hate it. It's a very well produced album - though I'm sure there's some nostalgia factor involved for me. Just go back and listen to Zero Signal and see if you still like it, because that song's pretty much peak Fear Factory.

I found Fu Xi from a Youtube search's recommended videos, and I'm digging it. I'm actually kind of hearing a bit of Drudkh and Alcest in their sound (mixing the same folk/doom/black elements). I can't say I've heard much Chinese metal, and now I'm curious what else I've been missing (and what other countries not famous for metal have some kickass bands).

Optimum Gulps posted:Nokturnal Mortum are definitely up there (being an Eastern European epic pagan/black metal band, that's not exactly a surprise). Their latest album Voice of Steel forgoes the openly antisemitic lyrics of some of their previous albums and is instead more in the vein of "Ukraine is beautiful" rather than "Ukraine sure would be a lot more beautiful without any Jews," but they aren't particularly progressive people. I've always been slightly worried about this with Drudkh because I really like their music but I know they're Ukrainian nationalists. I can't find out what their ideology really is because they don't do media or interviews, or even photos. Also more people should listen to Drudkh.

Xenochrist posted:On my third listen. It's pretty good, but I'd say a notch below RIITIIR and AEO, though that's not surprising - even though Enslaved is consistent as hell those 2 albums are so great and would be hard to top. I more or less agree, though I do really like some of the folky touches in there, like the acoustic passages and the Nordic chants. It doesn't have as many peaks and valleys but it is really solid throughout, and they're trying some new things as they always do. edit: The more I listen to it, the more I really like it. It's a bit of a grower. sticklefifer fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Mar 4, 2015 |

Kilometers Davis posted:If you guys think Huntress/Unleash the Archers are dull what female fronted bands are considered good? I have no intentions to argue but female fronted metal rules and I've never paid enough attention to the "genre" until late. Royal Thunder's pretty cool. Also check out Crisis, though they split a while back. The singer's since done some work with Ephel Duath, and she's got a new band called Gospel of the Witches.

xzzy posted:I say give AiC a shot anyways, their new stuff is pretty darn good. I don't mind them keeping the name since Jerry Cantrell was always a co-frontman, and even the most iconic AiC songs have a lot of him in them. Definitely not the same without Staley, but as long as the lead songwriter and co-vocalist is still in charge of the band and his rhythm section is the same it's still Alice in Chains.

I can't get into Jomsviking. I've tried a few times but it's like Amon Amarth Lite. Hegg's even toned down his growl. I guess if you squint they're becoming more folk-melodeath but it sounds more commercial to me than anything.

Lock Horns is back on Banger Films' Youtube channel this Wednesday. They're doing death metal this week. If you're unaware, the show is Sam Dunn revising the branches of the Metal Family Tree from Metal: A Headbanger's Journey/Metal Evolution, so if you're a sub-sub-subgenre metal nerd it's pretty interesting.

The original list was 11 years ago and at the time I understand why he put them there, but in season 1 they took both CoF and Dimmu off the list. Dimmu was decidedly more Symphonic and CoF is closer to Shock Rock. It's all highly theoretical, but I just like the idea that a legit anthropologist is trying to figure out metal. sticklefifer fucked around with this message at 11:35 on Sep 20, 2016 |

Ghost Bath is alright but oh my god their videos are peak edgelord cringe. Enslaved's new keyboardist/clean vocalist is from a really weird progressive jazz-rock/metal band called Seven Impale. I can see that sound fitting the more proggy elements of Enslaved, but I wonder how much influence he'll have on the next album or if Herbrand recorded with them before he left the band.

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