Cross-Posting from Musicians Lounge. I needed to do something band related that WASN'T mixing\mastering today. So I put together an album teaser. 10-30 seconds of each song from the album The mix\master isn't 100% yet, but eh, it's good enough for a teaser http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYp4UwY-R_0 This video contains 10-30 seconds of each song from our upcoming album due to be released...eventually Please note that the album is still going through final mixing and mastering so things may sound a little different (hopefully better!) on the final release. If you're interested in buying a copy of our album, please contact us through facebook on: http://www.facebook.com/blackhandaus Thanks for listening!

keratas posted:The full Metallica/Lou Reed song The View was released today. Man, the same riff plays over and over until the end of the song. I actually really like the sound of the guitars, drums, bass and James' voice I would say is back to full glory. The only problem is that Lou Reed...doing...whatever the gently caress he's doing is really terrible. Apparently we're meant to approach this as a Lou Reed album, but with Metallica behind him.

I'm curious as to what this'll do to Opeth's career. Heritage has recieved pretty mixed results and a lot of people aren't gonna be happy with their recent setlists. I think they've got enough of a heritage (hurrr) for it to not affect them that much...but still.

IRQ posted:No offense to the recommendations, but my god stay away from recent Amorphis. Their current vocalist can't sing clean for poo poo so they use a disgusting amount of autotune on him, yet they keep having him do more and more clean vocals. Silent Waters and before is good though. Eclipse was good...everything else has had moments of glory but a lot of shite too.

co199 posted:I'm as big a Metallica fanboy as you'll ever meet (I actually made it all the way through LuLu), but Lars as a metal drummer is average, and post-Black Album is not very good. I think most metal fans will agree that RtL, MoP and AJFA are three seminal thrash albums, but the most challenging song on any of those for Lars was Damage, Inc. It's challenging because it's 5:30 of super fast, but there's nothing truly groundbreaking about his drumming. It's textbook 80's thrash. The problem is that Lars is required for Metallica. He's an absolute oval office, but his cuntishness is the reason why they got so successful. His willingness to step on somebody else in order to get that little bit further ahead is probably why we know about Metallica more than we do any other Bay Area thrash band. Sure, their music went commercial with Load\Reload, but I actually argue that Black is pretty loving metal. Holier Than Thou? Through The Never? Struggle Within? The God That Failed is basically an off-cut from AJFA and Wherever I May Roam is just a loving awesome song it doesn't matter what the gently caress it is. Sad But True (while painfully overplayed) is heavy as hell and so is My Friend Of Misery. Besides, they were expected to win a Grammy for One. I mean...if you're winning grammys, you're probably reasonably commercial aren't you? All of their marketability comes from Lars' direction, but the awesome music comes from James.

Ne Obliviscaris is INCREDIBLE. I haven't heard an album so good in such a long time. When it goes all Black-Metally\Blastbeaty, endure it. Once you get used to those parts you'll love them. However even so, everything AROUND the harshness is stunning. In classic Progwank style, most songs are 2 hours+ in duration. Here's one awesome song. The last 2 or 3 minutes of the heavyness are gut-wrenching, but the buildup to it is what makes it freaky. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wa4zqBwPVE

Yeah, he noticeably speeds up\slows down sometimes too. Yikes...

Regardless of what we think of Baroness, this is a good read about their bus crash:Baroness posted:"On August 15th, just before 11 am, Baroness and our crew were involved in a very bad crash while on tour. The brakes in our bus failed completely, on a notoriously dangerous, incredibly steep (12% grade) hill in Monkton Combe, UK, on our way from a show Bristol to another show in Southampton. Our bus went entirely out of control, and we had no choice other than hitting a perpendicular guardrail going about 50 mph at the bottom of the hill. The guard rail and the 20 or 30 trees we ploughed through snapped like matchsticks as we went fully airborne and fell down more than 30 feet off of a viaduct to the ground below. Half of the band/crew were asleep while we lost our brakes, and a few of us were awake and sitting in the rear lounge. I was up front with our driver, and I bore witness to the entire thing. Once our brakes failed, the bus could do little more than gain momentum and plummet down the hill. There was nothing anyone on the bus could have done during our descent to avoid the crash, and no one, the local residents, the police or any of us can believe we survived the impact.

dutch wife abc posted:Personally, I can't understand why anyone wouldn't like Slayer. Because they sit on the wrong drat riffs. Slayer have loving great riffs, but the ones they choose to sit on and use as verses or choruses are nowhere NEAR as good as all the other riffs in the songs. I always found myself seriously digging a song, then they'd change to a poo poo riff and sit on it for the next minute or so instead of the riff I was really digging.

Fiendish Dr. Wu posted:I still can't listen to a full Devin Townsend album and I think he's more overhyped than just about anything else in metal. Them's fighting words. If nothing else, you have to admit he's unique. There's nothing that sounds like Devin Townsend. Whether or not that's a good thing is up to you. I actually like that there's some metal out there that's not trying too hard. I'll admit that yes, there's a lot of overproduction (I love the overproduction, but can understand why others wouldn't) but he's not trying to be the heaviest, meanest, fastest, cheesiest, most epic or anything like that. It's just Devin being Devin.

I really hated that poo poo. SFAM is a stunningly good album and I actually reckon the lyrics are okay. Mostly because I like the story of it. Everything else that they've done registers about a 7\10 on the scale of awesome.
