Metal Discussion Thread

[Ringo]

Well there's been alot of talk of InFlames lately in this thread, and funnily enough I saw them last night at what is believed to be the best venue in London. I was at the back for most of it seeing as my friend has a broken arm but fortunately I went down to the pit for 3 good songs which worked out nicely, Only For The Weak, Trigger and Clayman. Devildriver, which is Dez from Coal Chambers new band for anyone who doesnt know were support along with a band called Caliban. And It was a pretty damn good gig. It seems that they may be slightly leaning towards the commercial side with their last two albums, but songs from those two didn't seem at all out of place along with songs from Whoracle, Clayman, JR and the very first album.

[Aussie_Outlaw]

Just got back from the Melbourne gig.

Arrived at 7
Gates opened at 7:30
Embodiment played 8-8:30
KSE 9-9:40
Soilwork 10:10-11
Anthrax 11:30-1am


Anthrax played (after Blues Brothers intro + Contact)
What Doesn't die
Got The Time
Caught In A Mosh
Room For One More
Safe Home
AntiSocial
Madhouse
Fueled
NFL
Only
Be All, End All
Deathrider
I Am The Law (Absolute Ownage, best song I think)
Whole Lotta Rosie (AC/DC Cover)
Bring The Noise


Soilwork Played
Figure Number Five
Bastard Chain
As We Speak
The Flamout
Overload
something I can't remember (x2)
Distortion Sleep
Rejection Role
Like The Average Stalker
Follow The Hollow

And I don't really know KSe's catalogue.

Thats roughly the order, may be 1 or two in the other way but I think I've got all the songs. The only bad thing from the gig was that much of the Soilwork/KSE instruments/vox faded into one another and became unrecognisible. (Prolly due to their style of singing) which was ok but not great.

It was fucking loud as it should be.

Anthrax's I Am The Law (a personal fav) was fucking awesome, lets say best song of the night by far.

The Soilwork guitarist (beady: sorry don't know his name) fucking worse a Motley Crue: Theater of Pain T-Shirt while performing, :headbang: and between sets they played Motorhead+Maiden(mostley maiden [notb, can i play with madness, fear of the dark, run to the hills, bring your daughter, the evil that men do, 2 minutes, be quick or be dead, running free])+a bit of motley and something else I failed to recognise due to me being too fucked up from the soilwork set.

And as always I was 3-4 rows from the front in the middle of the mosh for both those bands. Fuck I'm so high and so tired at the same time. Weird. The mosh was fucking brutal, worse than Slayer/MH in 01. Much worse IMO I expcet to wake up with a few bruises tomorrow. Also I got to touch the Soilwork lead singers head when he stage dived, I'm so cool.

I AM SO!!!!

And the KSE lead singer popped out through the soilwork set. And KSE's guitarist Adam is one fucking hilarious and weird dude. He by far had the best talky bits


Twas a fairly good show.

I'm seeing them May 15th, and I'm hoping they play anything other than just STYE, and that excludes reroute (although I find the CD okay, I wanna hear them play earlier stuff)

By the way, I finally got Clayman today. It rules, but I knew it would.

[Black Eagle]

For 16 bucks, i'm seeing Full Scale, Frankenbok, 8 foot Sativa and Sunk Loto. Sunk Loto are one of my favourite bands, and Frankenbok are fucking awesome. Shall be good.

[Crabby]

What a fucking show.

Before the gig we went to Anthrax's in-store signing.Got two of my album sleeves signed.John Bush was super-friendly.

Anyway,Embodiment 12:14 were okay.No one really cared about em' at all,though.They gave me a chance to buy an Anthrax tour T-Shirt.Damn good selection of merch actually.

Killswitch Engage were fucking heavy and pretty damn tight as well.Loads of new stuff,including that track from the Freedy vs Jason soundtrack.They closed with "My Last Serenade",which resulted in a massive sing-a-long.Damn good,sharp 40-minute set.

Soilwork played for about 50 minutes.Good selection of material,but nothing from "Steelbath Suicide" again was the only bummer."The Chainheart Machine","Like The Average Stalker" and "The Flameout" were the highlights.Better sound than last year's show,and the crowd were very into it as well.I probably enjoyed their show last year a little more overall,but they were stil damn good anyway.

Anthrax.Tight as fucking hell.Played loads of old stuff,and only two tracks from WCFYA actually.They opened with "Contact"/"What Doesn't Die',which is THE IDEAL opener.One of the best live bands you'll see.Ever."Only","Antisocial","Room For One More" and "Among The Living" (even heavier live anyway!!!!!!) in particular fucking ruled.They closed with "Bring The Noise",which comes off pretty well live actually.Lights,backdrop,etc were all perfect really.

Scott Ian has awesome stage presence,as does John Bush,who even stage-dived from the top of one of the speakers.And you don't realise how good Charlie Benante is until you see him live.If you like heavy music and didn't go to this tour,well,you missed out in a massive way.

[NiMMERS]

Sure, sure, Crabby.

Killswitch Engage stole the show 2 nights in a row. Fucking awesome band.

Soilwork were pretty average but they sucked even more the night after. 'Speed' Strid voice was absolutely horrible.

Anthrax were good both nights, mixed it up a bit too to keep things fresh for both nights. Nice little drum solo at the end of 'Nobody Knows Anything'.

Overall, good show but KsE were the shit.

Embodiment 12:14 don't deserve the mention. Not bad, but not my style.

[Crabby]

Well,I'll agree that Killswitch Engage were great.I'll be picking up "The End Of Heartache" come May 10 for certain.I'm hoping they come back for their own headlining shows sometime on this tour.

I don't think Embodiment 12:14's style of hardcore was really suited to these shows at all anyway.

Did Soilwork play anything different the second night?

[Aussie_Outlaw]

Strange because down here it seemed KSE was clearly the 3rd rank band behind Anthrax and Soilwork

Nobody Knows Anything is awesome.

I wish we go it :(

[Nemesis]

Nobody Knows Anything is awesome.


Up until hearing that song, I never knew Charlie was that good of a drummer.

[NiMMERS]

Did Soilwork play anything different the second night?

I don't know. I wasn't really paying a hell of alot of attention to that. They were going through the motions.

[Aussie_Outlaw]

I expected an answer like that from YOU!

God damn you're so predictable sometimes.

Go and fuck a dead rabbit.

[Crabby]

Bah to you Dave,for your lack of KSE appreciation.

[Aussie_Outlaw]

Bah to you crabby for your lack of Blade Runner esqueness.

[NiMMERS]

Too much oestrogen, not enough testosterone.

Let's stop manstruating.

[Slash]

Nobody Knows Anything is awesome.

:yesyes:
I'm going to see them twice in June. Saw them twice last year aswell. :cool::headbang:

[SideburnZ]

My Wurdulak CD came yesterday. :hyper: It's so great. I grabbed it from my mailbox on the way to class. After class I'm holding it and talking to the teacher, so she asked me if she can look at it. So she takes the booklet out and flips through then looks like she's gonna puke, hands it back and is like ":nono:".

So I leave and look at it on the way home to see it was a nun with crosses stabbing into her body, including her vagina. :$

Felt bad. She's a cool teacher and way religious.

But DAMN IT'S AN AWESOME CD. I'm gonna order their second album pretty soon.

[Crabby]

I'm seeing The Butterfly Effect yet again tonight,with Brissy metal band Japunga as well.Should be a good night methinks.Yay.

[Aussie_Outlaw]

So she takes the booklet out and flips through then looks like she's gonna puke, hands it back and is like ":nono:".

I love normal people. They're so superficial.

I HATE YOU ALL!

Is it Ceremony in Flames?

[GameOver!]

Felt bad. She's a cool teacher and way religious.You did a good thing. Send her a warning, that's the way I see it... though, 'twas unintentional. Next time, look over the packaging first, and then show your religious female teachers.

:beer:

[SideburnZ]

Yessir.

[s-pac]

:yesyes:
I'm going to see them twice in June. Saw them twice last year aswell. :cool::headbang:

Anthrax are spoiling us rotten :drool: :cool:

[Crabby]

Anyone else keen to pick up the new Ayreon double-album when it's released in May?

[SideburnZ]

You did a good thing. Send her a warning, that's the way I see it... though, 'twas unintentional. Next time, look over the packaging first, and then show your religious female teachers.

Shut up.

[WizoOzz]

Shut up.

:rofl:

Burnzy, sometimes, I love you.

[Aussie_Outlaw]

Picked up LTE2 yesterday.

I'd say it's 10X better than LTE1, and a fucking masterpiece. And I'm only 30 minutes in.

It doesn't have the akward pieces LTE1 has and on a whole I'd say it flows better.

Total class.

To keep on topic:

I got Kings Evil - Deletion of Humanoise (that thing GO! made a seperate thread about for no reson). It's a quality album. Doesn't sound like anything else I have. The closest thing it reminds me of is Dark Funeral.

Dakrhtones - Hate Them, tis pretty cool. It might grow on me more, but for now I prefer Blaze and Hunger.

[Aussie_Outlaw]

I like acronyms.

LTE = DT SP.

[Nemesis]

I'm having a hard time deciding which three albums I'll buy next. If anyone owns any of these, let me know how they sound, except for the obvious ones. Here's what I want:

Ninnghizhidda - Demigod
Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Centinex - Hellbrigade
Nokturnal Mortem - Nechrist
Decapitated - Winds of Creation
Children of Bodom - Hatebreeder
Graveworm - Ingraved in Black
Old Man's Child - Ill-Natured Spiritual Invasion and Revelation 666
Mayhem - Chimera and De Mysteriis

...and when I go to visit my girlfriend, I think I'll pick up a used copy of Dismember - Death Metal for $6. :headbang:

I should have most of these fucking CDs already. I've been spending too much money on video games and DVDs lately. :ashamed:

BurZum: Good album. I've only heard some, but it seemed on par with Filosefm (fuck me, I'm too tired to type that title right)

Bodom: I orgasm for Bodom, so I'm biased, but it's a fucking great album. Towards Dead End is on it, probably my favorite Bodom song of all that albums. I'd rank it as their second best (discounting live album).

Mayhem - AWESOME.

(Get those 3)

[GameOver!]

I got Kings Evil - Deletion of Humanoise (that thing GO! made a seperate thread about for no reson).I made that thread because the album f'n RAWWWWWKS! :headbang:

[Crabby]

I don't think anyone else has posted this anyway (kinda old news really)-

From the UACM mailing list-

"Budokan, Tokyo show recorded for DVD/CD release!
(News : Dream Theater)


Dream Theater has recorded their show at the Budokan in Tokyo,
Japan on April 26th, 2004, for an upcoming Live DVD/CD release.
The setlist for this show was as follows:


band history video (intro tape)
As I Am
This Dying Soul
Beyond This Life
Hollow Years
War Inside My Head/
The Test That Stumped Them All
Endless Sacrifice
Instrumedley
Trial Of Tears
~~~intermission~~~
New Millennium
piano solo
Only A Matter Of Time
Goodnight Kiss/
Solitary Shell
Stream of Consciousness
Disappear
Pull Me Under
~~~encore~~~
In The Name Of God


The only disappointment is no "Awake" material really.

The new Ayreon album also sounds amazing.The stuff with Mikael,LaBrie and Devy in particular is great.

[NiMMERS]

LTE = DT SP.

STFU



Wizz, all the time, I love you. :$

Dakrhtones - Hate Them, tis pretty cool. It might grow on me more, but for now I prefer Blaze and Hunger.

Whereas I love youse all /Fenech

You will learn to love 'Hate Them', the production could be shitter though. As far as I know 'Sardonic Wrath' is a bit of a return to old 'A Blaze...' style and with shitter production which is good.


Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Decapitated - Winds of Creation
Mayhem - De Mysteriis

...and when I go to visit my girlfriend, I think I'll pick up a used copy of Dismember - Death Metal for $6. :headbang:


Those 3 are what is neccessary. I was listening to Hvis Lyset Tar Oss last night, fuck it rules. That Decapitated album is suppose to be fucking awesome death metal without considering they were 13-15 when it was recorded.

Dude, pick up Dismember's latest one, 'Where Ironcrosses Grow' while you're at it.

[Deka]

Cradle of Filth, bIoTcH!!!

[NiMMERS]

Cradle of Filth, bIoTcH!!!

Who the fuck are they? Are they metal?

[SideburnZ]

Ok I just listened to Downs NOLA.

I still don't get them. They're alright :\ But eh. So soft and slow. I picture a bunch of old fat rednecks on a porch with gee-tars.

Superjoint > them.

[Aussie_Outlaw]

You don't just listen, you experience Nola.

Plus Burnz you're not really into Stoner rock. Go and get stoned.

[SerialHunter]

I just want to make a remark about the medieval-metal.
You know groups like Hammerfall, Nightwish, Blind Guardian, most of these bands are highly respected and have the greatest musicians not only in metal but in music.
But i just can't get on their music, i have been forced to listen to some Nightwish and other medieval stuff and i find them awful, yup a lot of virtuosism but there was something i just couldn't stand in this music. Its not the theme of his songs (hell im a f'n Tolkien mark), not the abuse of speed on his compositions, not the operistic chorus (I like Lacrimosa), its EVERYTHING, its the most annoying form of metal ever and seriously i just don't understand it.

[NiMMERS]

Stoner Rock is cooooooooool. Also Sludge and Doom.
Electric Wizard, Grand Magus, Spiritual Beggars, Trouble and Acid Bath.

Burnz you need to appreciate the riff. In the stoner realm it's all about the riff. Just because it's not all evil and dark and shit you should still give it a good chance.

How can you not like Power Metal?

Seriously?

Is it that you don't like cheese on your pizza? Or in your music?

The main thing about Power metal is that it's really cheesey, really melodic, and very "gay". Personally I love it.

Get (D/L) Edguy's Down To The Devil, it's greatness.

:yes:

[SideburnZ]

I listen to lots of non evil and dark shit.

Godspeed, ALL POWER METAL, Journey, Pantera, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Motorhead, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Doors and so on...

I just don't dig Down as much as you all. Don't get it.

[Crabby]

Stoner Rock is cooooooooool.
Grand Magus, Spiritual Beggars,


They are the shit,so to speak.

BurnZ,also get Kyuss' "Welcome To Sky Valley".Stoner rock/metal heaven.

[SideburnZ]

Eh, I like Queens but what I heard of Kyuss I didn't much like.

[Aussie_Outlaw]

Kyuss own Queens, infact Queens plays fairly average stuff in comparison.

Blues For the Red Sun is an awesome album!

[SideburnZ]

Ok!!!111

I will give it a listen, also i didn't mentioned that i like Manowar, so NOT all power metal bugs me. :cool:

And "Blues for the red sun" indeed owns but "Welcome to Sky Valley" is better.

[Deka]

How bout some Cradle of Filth?

[SerialHunter]

How bout some Cradle of Filth?
The live album is class, i really like it :yes:
I heard a new album is on works

And for the stupidest news item of the year


ANTHRAX'S WHAT DOESN'T DIE CLIP GETS BANNED FROM MTV


What a load of horseshit. And Scott says on the Anthrax.com site.


The new video for "What Doesn't Die" was banned by MTV. Originally accepted by Headbanger's Ball, the decision was overridden by Standards & Practices. The scenes in question were the fake zombie on fire, the fake zombie carrying a fake head, and my fake zombie killing scene where I knock the head off of a fake mummy. This is the funniest thing I've heard all year.

I was asked to come up with some captions for possible edits.

Here they are in case we don't get to use them:

* This scene does not contain casual sex and or public intoxication, therefore it was deemed unsuitable for viewing.

* This scene does not depict an unrealistic lifestyle, nor does it
contain any misogynistic acts, therefore it was deemed unsuitable for viewing.

* This scene does not depict wanton destruction of property and or sophomoric violence, therefore it was deemed unsuitable for viewing.

* This scene does not exploit anyone in any way shape or form, therefore it was deemed unsuitable for viewing.

* This scene is not reality television, therefore it was deemed unsuitable for viewing.

* This scene does not contain a lip-synching half naked faux-orgasmic performance, therefore it was deemed unsuitable for viewing.

* This scene does not promote celebrity worship, therefore it was deemed unsuitable for viewing.

* This scene is not crunk or pimped. It does not contain any bling-bling, bitches, or ho's, excessive or otherwise, therefore it was deemed unsuitable for viewing.

There you have it. Hypocrisy anyone?

This sure does bring back the good 'ole days of Tipper Gore and the
PMRC. Remember them? They were cute compared to what we've got to fight against now.

Free speech for the dumb,
Scott


http://www.anthrax.com/html/ANTHRAX_banned.htm

[SideburnZ]

Haha, thats both funny :lol: and said :nono:.

[Nemesis]

I finally got around to ordering some CDs. I got:

Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper
I used to have this a few years ago (I lost it), so I knew how it sounded, and after sampling Hatebreeder at Amazon (good place to listen, bad place to buy), I figured I should just re-buy this one and worry about HB later.

Decapitated - Winds of Creation
Don't know why it took me so long to get this one...the samples were awesome when I listened to it the first time.

Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
The only reason I'm getting this is because of Det Som En Gang Var. I was thinking about Filosofem, since it has 2 more songs, but decided not to. Hope the other 3 songs are good too. :happysad:

Old Man's Child - Pagan Prosperity
I chose this since The End doesn't have Mayhem's De Mysteriis OR Chimera. Guess I'll check Red Stream next time. It took me a fucking half hour to decide which Old Man's Child I wanted, since I think they all sounded awesome to me and better than the only one I own (In Defiance of Exsistence is definitely their least best). To me, this CD barely sounds better than Ill-Natured Spiritual Invasion, and both sound pretty damn good.

When I went to see my girlfriend, I picked up that Dismember CD I was talking about before, Death Metal. Pretty much what I expected, but not much more. This isn't a bad CD by any means, but hopefully their other stuff sounds better. Didn't these guys rip off Entombed, anyway? :troll:

Damn CDs better come to my house soon. :happysad:

[NiMMERS]

Don't be put off by the amount of songs on a Burzum release. Songs are epic in length. 'Filosofem' is good, it all depends if you can handle the 25 minute keyboard track which can be draining.

I wouldn't say they ripped Entombed off, they pretty much created that sound with Entombed. All the fuzzy guitars and shit at Skogsberg's Sunlight Studios.

[Bandit]

Got In Flames live in Gothenburg and In Flames live in Popstad.

I really need Subterranean/Lunar Strain. :(

[Deka]

It's all about Blood Coven.

[Bandit]

Yeah, okay.

Has anyone hear heard Skyfire? What did you think? I personally like them. If you've never heard of them, or if you're into In Flames/Children of Bodom/etc, check out www.swedishmetal.net

It has interviews and bios and links to swedish metal bands such as the bands above, and more including Iced Earth. :yes:

I know Det Som En Gang Var is 14 minutes long or something, but I didn't know how long the others were. But I'll still be happy if I odnt like the rest of the album, so long as it has that song on it.

And the Dismember comment was a half-assed attempt at a joke. :$

[Aussie_Outlaw]

http://www.mikeportnoy.com/images/Yes-&-DT.jpg

Damn yanks.

[SerialHunter]

Is there going to be a remaster of Entombed's "Wolverine Blues"? (because i want the f'n record)

[I_AM_THE_KING]

dunno if anyones mentioned 'em yet, but there are some awesome metal core/hardcore bands around like;
The Locust, The Blood Brothers, Converge, Botch, RaceBannon, Lightning Bolt....

spazzyspazzyspazzy!

[NiMMERS]

Converge....overhyped and overrated. Man that dude can't scream to save his life. It sounds like he is coughing up a lung. Plus The Locust.....garbage.

I'm not exactly a fan of hardcore to start with. Although I've been listening to Uphill Battle's new album, 'Wreck of Nerves'. Hardcore played via death metal execution. Nice angular riffing going on and 3 vocals where I believe only one of those guys should be screaming.

[Bandit]

Anyone here like Vital Remains?

[Crabby]

If you want to talk metalcore then let's mention the brilliance that is Devolved.New album out mid-year which will be killer stuff.

[NiMMERS]

Brendo, nobody wants to talk metalcore....change of heart...Killswitch ENgage's new album comes out next week. Oh yes. Did I mention before they were hands down the best band on that triple bill a couple of weeks back.

Newcastle's Metal Bloody Metal Fest is on tomorrow. A shitload of bands, like 10-12 bands from 12pm-11pm. But Bloodduster is playing the Cambo tomorrow as well, so the later bands will be playing to their mates.

[NiMMERS]

Anyone here like Vital Remains?

Can't say I'm too well versed with their stuff. Apparently it's pretty good. I think ol' Nemmy likes them.

If you like Glen Benton on VR's latest album check out his main band, Deicide's new album. It's short but sweet.

[Bandit]

EDIT - I read your sentence wrong.

I am also very,very much looking forward to the new Killswitch Engage album.I agree that they were awesome live,but weren't the best band on the bill.But then again you're not familiar with Anthrax's back catalogue,so it's understandable really.

Blood Duster's music these days is still decent,but there old stuff was better.They almost try a little too hard to be controversial and piss people off really (though they're a funny bunch of bastards).They need to cut back on the piss-taking a little and try and make some better music again anyway.

And have fun with your hoodbanging.

[Bandit]

Speaking of KsE, I'm seeing them next weekend with In Flames in San Diego. :headbang:

[Nemesis]

Anyone here like Vital Remains?

Not too bad. I have their Dechristianize CD. The title track is excellent, and the rest of the CD is fairly good. The drummer is fast as hell with the blast beats (or is it really a blast beat? Since he's rolling the bass drum and hitting the snare, instead of alternating bass and snare really fast. Oh well...), probably just as fast as the drummer for Krisiun.

I know a HEAP of people who thought KsE were the standout band. I don't think Anthrax's back catalogue is much to write home about to be honest, the songs don't stand out..very non-descript.

Many a hood will be banged...or something.


Speaking of KsE, I'm seeing them next weekend with In Flames in San Diego. :headbang:

They're awesome live, Adam D is a fucking tool onstage. You'll piss yourself.

Yeah thats the weird thing. Down here I'd basically KSE were clearly the 3rd rank band.

Anthrax clearly owned the night, then Soilwork then KSE.

And how you can't like the set Anthrax played I'll never know, then again you don't know the back catalogue inside out like I do. I guess I'm the Only one, but when they played down here the crowded was fueled on Anthrax playing and on the pit there's always room for one more.

[SideburnZ]

Kyuss own Queens, infact Queens plays fairly average stuff in comparison.

Blues For the Red Sun is an awesome album!


I got it. I must admit, it has grown on me in the 3 listens I gave it and now I adore it.

[Bandit]

Eh? What did you originally write?
I wrote something like, isn't it the same guy? (implying the guy from deicide and VR...:$ )

[NiMMERS]

Yeah thats the weird thing. Down here I'd basically KSE were clearly the 3rd rank band.

Anthrax clearly owned the night, then Soilwork then KSE.

And how you can't like the set Anthrax played I'll never know, then again you don't know the back catalogue inside out like I do. I guess I'm the Only one, but when they played down here the crowded was fueled on Anthrax playing and on the pit there's always room for one more.

Weird. KsE got the most crowd reaction and most pit action both nights in my opinion. I know the Anthrax catalogue well enough to pick up all your song references in your last sentence, Mr. David Hasselhoff.

[Crabby]

I'm a huge fan of KsE and I agree that they were fucking awesome live-and the crowd reaction was great.I'm just more of an Anthrax fan,and I loved the setlist that they played and thought they were tight as hell live anyway.KsE were easily the second best band of the night,and gave Anthrax a real run for their money IMO at least.Regardless,it was one hell of a show and it sucks now that we won't see a bill of that calibre for who knows how long really.

BRAND NEW MEGADETH!! DOWNLOAD HERE
"KICK THE CHAIR"


This is for the 95% of the people here who are my friends — the people who, even if they don't agree, they are still decent. This is for the people here who set us apart from the rest of the net, all of the fan sites, chat rooms, and forums.

"This is for you, my fans — because after this, there will be no more doubt who I am.

"This version of 'Kick The Chair' is a final mix, but is not the 'master' that will be on the new record.

"Please enjoy this and know that I love you all, even the assholes."

The complete track listing for the forthcoming MEGADETH CD is as follows:

01. Blackmail The Universe
02. Shadow Of Death
03. My Kingdom
04. Of Mice And Men
05. Truth Be Told
06. The Scorpion
07. Kick The Chair
08. Something That I’m Not

[Crabby]

I took Mick's recommendation a few weeks back and checked out Anata's "Under A Stone With No Inscription".After a few listens I've already ordered the damn thing.Probably the best album I've heard this year,although I'll give the new Killswitch Engage a few more listens first anyway.

[NiMMERS]

That album.....the whole fucking thing.....Anata are insane.

Hooray for death metal in 2004.

[Aussie_Outlaw]

And all I've been listening to is a 70's/80's space/comedy radio serial called Kremmen of The Star Corps.

Awesomeness.

[Aussie_Outlaw]

MTV has officially lifted the ban on the zombie infested promo clip for the song "What Doesn't Die" off of Anthrax's latest record, We've Come For You All.

Initially banned by the network for violent content, the decision was
overturned for undisclosed reasons. When reached for comment Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian said, "This video needs to be seen. People need to know that this zombie menace, left unchecked, will be the death of us all!"

"The decision to air this terribly stereotypical and racist anti-zombie
propaganda is deeply upsetting" said Arthur Breakstone, chairman of PETZ (People for the Ethical Treatment of Zombies). "In this day and age for the living impaired to be portrayed as shuffling shambling flesh eating monsters is an outrage. We plan on boycotting MTV and all it's affiliated products and I urge all of you to let your voices be heard! PETZ will prevail in this matter and all others that slander such beautiful creatures.

Ah they've come to their senses.

[Nemesis]

Just got my CDs in the mail this weekend. All of them are fucking great, just as expected.

Track 2 on my Decapitated CD...the first part of the song sounds really Vader-ish. But I guess it was Peter from Vader who produced it, so go figure. I guess the two bands aren't too far removed anyway.

Excellent stuff.

[Bandit]

Five days 'til In Flames/KsE

[Crabby]

I picked up the new Killswitch Engage today (I've had a copy of it for a few weeks,though) and after a few more listens I must say it'll be up there in my top albums of the year.

[Slash]

Ah they've come to their senses.
:yesyes:

[NiMMERS]

I picked up the new Killswitch Engage today (I've had a copy of it for a few weeks,though) and after a few more listens I must say it'll be up there in my top albums of the year.

Shit yeah. This album rocks. It rocks hard. I picked it up yesterday after work along with The Berzerker dvd and the Neurosis EP 'Sovereign'.

In fact I am listening to KsE now, never to early for metal.

plus local support

BRISBANE Friday June 25 - The Waterloo
SYDNEY Saturday June 26 (All Ages) - Manning Bar
MELBOURNE Sunday June 27 - The Esplanade
MELBOURNE Friday July 2 - The Esplanade

More events to be announced soon. Tickets on sale May 17. Keep posted to www.METALWARRIORS.com (http://www.metalwarriors.com) for further information in the coming days.





I'm fucking stoked!

And I just shit everyone to tears with all that tagging.

And I thought the Anthrax tour would be good, and now it just keeps getting better.

[Crabby]

Cool stuff,Dave,I just read that.And the mighty Dungeon are supporting!!!!!!

[Aussie_Outlaw]

Can you tell how Amped I am?

And UltimateMetal lost their entire post database. 2GB worth.

Luckily they have a backup as of May 9th.

For some reason I find that painfully funny.

[Nemesis]

I've thought about joining that place a few times.

How many self-righteous, know-it-all assholes are there?? :confused:

The Gamefaqs metal forum is full of them, actually.

[Aussie_Outlaw]

Depends which forum you go in.

[Nemesis]

Are they split by genre? Because I could easily see a black metal forum being like that.

[Aussie_Outlaw]

It's nothing like that.

All different bands get a forum at UltimateMetal and there's a fuckload of Official forums there (Opeth, Anthrax, Nevermore, CoB, Arch Enemy, etc [about 100]) and there's also a bunch of other forums Off Topic, Scenes (Oz, US, Asia, etc), and some special boards for big bands (Megadeth, Testament, IF) if they dont have a board there.

Each board is different since it basically has different people in it and such. Though the Off-Topic forum used to be Opeth's Off Topic and is full of a fair few wankers the one I post on are fairly good MaidenDownunder mostly, and perhaps a little Anthrax, but I view a few if I have the time.

Also many times one board will invade another. A year or so back Dark Tranquilities board was ravaged by another board which i can't remember and go to the point where they locked down the forums to the point where only certain people who generally posted there could view and post at the board.

Also i find the Nevermore board completely insane which is good if you want a random dose of insanity (which everyone does).

It's a huge site, go and see how big it is when it comes back http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forums/

[QuietStorm]

I'm signed up there. :cool:

Don't think I ever posted though. :$

[SerialHunter]

- Have anyone listened to Damageplan's album? I want to know how is it, specially because the singer.

- The new ill nino album its really weak besides "Te Amo (I hate you)" its nothig special.

- The new Fear Factory album is bad also, without Dino they have few to do.

- Ok so the new Drowning Pool album is out, let's see how they do because i really like this band.

- Today i was watching the video of "Meat Sandwich" by GWAR, funny stuff

- Does Pride and Glory still exist? i mean Zack is now with Ozzy and Black Label Society and there's nothing about them on the web

- Has anyone seen Danzig's web site? its awfull!

- Could someboy tell me about the Entombed remasters? anyone?

[Nemesis]

I'll have to check the place out. So far I've struck out with almost every place I've been to besides this one, but that place sounds so big that there's bound to be a good handful of places to post, at least.

Just ordered some new CDs from Columbia House:
Anthrax - Attack of the Killer A's and Sound of White Noise (I either lost it or someone stole it, but my friends listen to crappy music, so I'm betting on the former)
The Crown - Possessed 13
Type O Negative - Life is Killing Me
Entombed - Clandestine
..and the other two I can't remember. Must've been a few spur-of-the-moment decisions.

...and they also had a CD of a Mexican guy with a cowboy hat in the metal section. :wtf: Rogelio Martínez. No, I didn't buy that.


- Today i was watching the video of "Meat Sandwich" by GWAR, funny stuff



:lol: The best part is when Oderus dunks on Jesus.

[NiMMERS]

I also post at Blistering.com forums. It aint too bad. More good people than bad.

I signed up at UM.com forums and I've made one post. I don't know where to start. Plus I'm hooked on blistering's forums.

Responses to your points in order:

- You stay away from that album, y'here? If you value your money.

- Ill Nino = nu-metal = dead

- I heard for the most part it's pretty good, but gets repetitive after a few listens.

- Drowning Pool will no longer hold any relevance in metal, not that they ever did.

Skip 3

- Entombed's albums are being remastered? I need to get the first 2 albums. Stat.

[Crabby]

The new Fear Factory is slightly above average,on the surface it's enjoyable,but ridiculously predictable and doesn't hold much long-term appeal anyway.And every time I listen to it I just want to listen to Demanufacture instead,where they used the same dynamics far better really.

I didn't listen to Mick's advice and bought the Damageplan album (got it cheap from overseas,though).Like the last Superjoint Ritual album,a few listens and I don't think I'll bother again anyway.

I love how you have all these nu kiddies saying how different the new Drowning Pool album sounds due to their new singer.What shite.

[Bandit]

41 hours 'til In Flames + KsE live in San Diego.

Ahhhh we all make mistakes. Who would've thought a once great band could split up and supply one crap band and one mediocre band?

I hope I never have to listen to the new Drowning Pool album. WHy I bought the dvd I don't know.

[Ms. Morningstar]

Also i find the Nevermore board completely insane which is good if you want a random dose of insanity (which everyone does).
That's the only I go to, lots of fun. :yes:

[Aussie_Outlaw]

Ahhhh we all make mistakes.
AHEM!

Unless you count my parents one mistake, I'm mistake free.

[NiMMERS]

Unless you count my parents one mistake

The mistake of ignoring the benefits of contraception?

[Crabby]

I believe that was more or less what he was alluding to,Mick.

[Bandit]

*ORGASM*

Just got back from San Diego. I saw the In Flames/KsE show last night, but I can't explain it all in one silly post, it needs a thread dedicated to it. Expect one up in the asylum in approximately 10 minutes.

Thread will contain pictures of me being crazy after the concert, a picture of my new KsE jacket, and a picture of Anders. :yes:

[NiMMERS]

I believe that was more or less what he was alluding to,Mick.

Obviously. But he is oblivious to the fact that from his parent's mistake, it's obviously snowballed from there.

[Crabby]

I finally picked up Decapitated's "The Negation".Geez I love US EBay.

[Aussie_Outlaw]

:(

I broke my fozzy cassette which is the only tape I have in my car :(

Oh and $37 p bookingfee

[Hellfire]

any rabid misfits fans in this thread?

[Nemesis]

I only own Collection I...I need to get some more of their stuff one of these days...

[Hellfire]

It is so easy to become a fan!

[Nemesis]

Do they have a boxed set?

[Hellfire]

Do they have a boxed set?
yeah, it is awesome. All of their recordings! "Devils Whorehouse" is my favorite song on it!

[Nemesis]

yeah, it is awesome. All of their recordings! "Devils Whorehouse" is my favorite song on it!

I know I've heard that one. Excellent song.

My favorite is either She or Death Comes Ripping, which seems to get covered by other bands a lot.

[Hellfire]

My favorite is either She or Death Comes Ripping, which seems to get covered by other bands a lot.
London Dungeon, Skulls, Vampira, Teenagers from Mars...all awesome too! :cool:

[WizoOzz]

I, too, only have Collection I, however, I just am not into the Misfits. Samhain's later stuff is awesome, as is (of course) pretty much anything (barring Danzig 5: Blackacidevil) by Danzig.

But Misfits, meh, I just never can seem to get into.

[Nemesis]

I've never heard Samhain, I'll have to give them a listen sometime.

[WizoOzz]

I've never heard Samhain, I'll have to give them a listen sometime.

It's not bad at all. You dig Misfits stuff, you'll dig it. I prefer the later couple of albums over the first couple, but that's just (to me) when Glenn seemed to hit his groove. But it's definitely :yes: stuff.

[SideburnZ]

I love Walk Among Us and Earth AD. :drool: I need more Misfits.

I've been meaning to ask, whats everyone opinion on new Misfits? With the new singer dude? I'm weary of buying/downloading any of that stuff. I heard American Psycho and saw the zombie video...nothing else though. Seems okay to me.

Samhain rules. November Coming Fire. :drool:


And I like Blackacidevil. :$

[WizoOzz]

And I like Blackacidevil. :$

Burnzy, there's nothing wrong with liking Blackacidevil. It's just not my thing.

That's 41 cds & 2 Records with Glenn Danzig on vocals. 5 Videos. I also have 9 Danzig related shirts, 3 posters, 2 necklaces, many stickers and several pictures(from magazines, printed, ect) and probably some other stuff as well. Seriously though, that's a very small list of Danzig Merchandise. I should by all means have a LOT more than what I have listed. Shit, I don't even have Danzig 6 or the How The Gods Kill boxset. Talk about pathetic. *edit* My bad, I also have the Satanika Preview tape[VHS] and many of his company's comics: Biz & Frazetta art books, Satanika 1, Death Dealer 1-3, Devilman 1-2, Jaguar God, ect..
I've been meaning to ask, whats everyone opinion on new Misfits?Shit.

[BIGFEETS]

GO!, what did you think when the Misfits showed up in WCW? Remember that?

Without Danzig, the Misfits are indeed shit. I heard a live recording of them doing Last Caress...not pretty.

[SerialHunter]

Im a Misfits fan i love his shit.
Samhain are f'n cool and one of the best metal bands ever.
Blackacidevil is the worst Danzig album yet, even with good ol' Jerry in it.

[J.J.S.]

I only have Collection on CD and Earth AD on casette. The music stores around here don't really sell many Misfits albums. All I can really find around here are the "Greatest Of" collections, and personally I'd rather own all the albums than just a select few songs from a bunch of different ones.

I'll look for that box set, it sounds good.

[Crabby]

I scored a free copy of Lamb Of God's "As The Palaces Burn".It fucking rules.

[GameOver!]

GO!, what did you think when the Misfits showed up in WCW? Remember that?Never watched WCW. :beer:

Without Danzig, the Misfits are indeed shit.Truely. They really should have called it the Jerry Only Band as Glenn suggested in an interview. Danzigless Misfits is wrongness.

[Aussie_Outlaw]

I'm back into Megadeth watch out.

got back listening to The World Needs A Hero today. (Only because my poster reminded me I was in the mood for it)

Might have to go through the entire back catalogue five or six times.

[BIGFEETS]

Never watched WCW. :beer:
Truely. They really should have called it the Jerry Only Band as Glenn suggested in an interview. Danzigless Misfits is wrongness.

It's best that you didn't see the Misfits in WCW. Someone jog my memory, didn't they take on Master P and his crew or was that just the West Texas Rednecks?

Anyway, it was sad. I can't believe Jerry agreed to do it.

[Daniel Hughes]

Anyone like Heaven Shall Burn? Sorry if they have already been mentioned.

[Nemesis]

I've been meaning to ask, whats everyone opinion on new Misfits? With the new singer dude? I'm weary of buying/downloading any of that stuff. I heard American Psycho and saw the zombie video...nothing else though. Seems okay to me.


And I like Blackacidevil. :$

Um, they're not that bad, but if you're expecting original Misfits-level stuff, then you'll be very disappointed. American Psycho isn't a horrible CD by any means.

I liked Blackacidevil too. Fucking hated it when I first bought it, but it grew on me. I'll probably spin any of my other Danzig CDs before that one, but I still like 5.

[SideburnZ]

It's best that you didn't see the Misfits in WCW. Someone jog my memory, didn't they take on Master P and his crew or was that just the West Texas Rednecks?

I thought they teamed up with Vampiro and Insane Clown Posse?

[Hellfire]

Misfits on wcw was very good to see (hi sideburnz), master p....not so much :rolleyes:

[SideburnZ]

Misfits on wcw was very good to see (hi sideburnz), master p....not so much :rolleyes:


It was kinda sad actually (hiya), master p too.

[Hellfire]

why sad?

[SideburnZ]

Misfits were a great band, legends, influential...

Then the end up in WCW with ICP and fucking Vampiro. :nono: Just sad.

[Hellfire]

good point i guess :rolleyes:

[SideburnZ]

Dude, go to hell.

"1000 times goodbye" is class!


What's everyone's opinion on "Devildriver"? i liked the album.

[Nemesis]

Devildriver? What do they sound like?


I'm liking Decapitated's CD the more and more I listen to it. As far as crazy death metal goes, I like this better than Vital Remains' Dechristianize and Zyklon's World Ov Worms CDs, easily. There's nothing I don't like about it, except for maybe the vocals being a little too drowned out, but that's not much of a problem anyway.

[Hellfire]

[SideburnZ]

DevilDriver are Coal Chamber with more metal influence.

[SerialHunter]

Devildriver? What do they sound like?
What Sideburnz said think of a Heavier Coal Chamber, with less wacky singing from Dez.

DevilDriver sound so incredibly derivative it's nauseating- think Coal Chamber vocals with heavier guitars and blast-beats.It just shows that Dez Fafafra is a bandwgaon-jumper- he milked nu metal while it was cool, now that that gere is dead he's moved on to the next cool trend that's happening.I scored their album for free but I've only listened to it a few times it's so uninspiring.

The new Decapitated is fucking killer.Enough said.

There are also strong rumours that we'll get an In Flames/Chimaira tour here in September.Great news.

[Monkey]

I scored a free copy of Lamb Of God's "As The Palaces Burn".It fucking rules.

My god! Your only just getting that!

and free?
How so?

[Crabby]

I won it from a particular publication, as well as a couple of other albums.

[NiMMERS]

I won it from a particular publication, as well as a couple of other albums.

I was preaching these guys round this time last year. Brendan you should listen to me more, I got my finger on the pulse.

[BIGFEETS]

Yeah, you're right. I tried to forget as much of it as possible.

[Crabby]

I was preaching these guys round this time last year. Brendan you should listen to me more, I got my finger on the pulse.

I did take your Anata recommendation and I'm very glad that I did,Mick.I've had a D/L copy of ATPB for a while,I've just never got around to picking up the album proper.

Hmm. I think I'll pass on Devildriver. I might check out some samples sometime, just out of dumb curiosity.

And I'm pretty sure I'll get the new Decapitated CD one of these days...Winds of Creation definitely won't be the only one I own.

I have to work on getting some Mayhem CDs though.

[Crabby]

In some great news for Aussie metal, Daysend have signed with Metal Blade.

[NiMMERS]

Metal Blade eh? Good on 'em. Metal Blade surely seems to be signing alot of metalcore bands lately. I wouldn't call Daysend metalcore (more melodic death), I'm sure the American and European fans will really dig them.

[Bandit]

Whoever said the thing about In Flames/Chimaira, it's been posted on their homepage for like a month now...:p

No new real news from me, just been getting more into CoB.

[Crabby]

I was talking about a possible Australian tour for In Flames and Chimaira.It's bene rumoured for a while but now it seems it's going to happen.

Twas good even if other people were in the room while I was watching it and fiddling with the remote.

Bastards.

Actually last night was a good night :$ ;) :)

[Crabby]

I read on The Haunted's site that they are currently mixing their next album,which should be released sometime this year.I'm eagerly anticipating this album.

And the Anthrax videos were damn cool.

[Aussie_Outlaw]

Talking about Anthrax.

Went into the city today to buy:

Edguy Tickets (both shows)
Anthrax - Music of Mass Destructions (CD/DVD)
Pain Of Salvation 12:5

So spent about $160 in the space of 15 minutes.

[Bandit]

Anyone here like Norther?

[Crabby]

My copy of Raunchy's "Confusion Bay" arrived yesterday- anyone who likes melodic death should definitely check this album out anyway.

[NiMMERS]

Anyway, melodic death = boring.

Although I've heard good things about Orphaned Land...

[Aussie_Outlaw]

Sorry havent been online much due to obvious reasons (PC broke and had to reinstall), but been listening to Pain Of Salvation's 12:5.

And its fucking awesome. Seriously Live Acoustic album where the parts have been modified to be acoustic. Different instruments are involved.

Plus they pull all the cool pieces from all their songs. :yes:

Played a bit to my girlfriend and she liked it also. And she listens to weird hippie music.

[Sweet Stan]

Thats a quality list.

Although my favourite isn`t on there.

Alice Cooper gets a truck to break down in Piccadilly circus for 5 hours during rush hour carrying a huge billboard of a picture of him naked with a snake.

Oh and there`s Aerosmith changing their set round & Steven Tyler being off his head, playing one song & then walking offstage thinking he`s played the whole gig

EDIT: And Monster Magnet spiking their audiences beer with acid

[Ms. Morningstar]

Spinal Tap is #5 on that list! :heart:

[Justin-Credible]

I like seeing Kiss on that list alot. There my favorite band.

[Ringo]

So then.. any metallers not in teams yet? Team Metal sounds pretty good to me..

[Slash]

Megadeth have a title for their new album, due for release through Sanctuary in mid-September. It's to be called 'The System Has Failed'. The album features founder Dave Mustaine, plus bassist Jimmy Sloas and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, plus a guest appearance by original 'Deth guitarist Chris Poland.

[Crabby]

Anyone else like Blood Has Been Shed (Howard Jones from KSE's other band)? Awesome metalcore-I've already ordered their last album.

[NiMMERS]

Anyone else like Blood Has Been Shed (Howard Jones from KSE's other band)? Awesome metalcore-I've already ordered their last album.

'Spirals' is a good album. I've been listening to it alot lately. A far more brutal vocal performance as opposed to the new KsE album. Very brutal and extreme hardcore.

[Daniel Hughes]

Anyone heard Disillusion? They're a three piece from Germany, simply amazing.

[asphyXy]

CURSE THE GODS \m/
LEPROSY \m/
FISTFUCKING GOD'S PLANET \m/
EVIL NEVER DIES \m/
PROCREATION OF THE WICKED \m/
THROUGH THE EYES OF GREED \m/
APOCALYPTIC CITY \m/

Or some shit.

[blackening]

well, i ordered Children of Bodom's 'Follow the Reaper' online from The End Records. it was $16.00 - $13 for the CD and $3 for the shipping. now, i'm just waiting for it to come, i'll tell you guys what i think of it when i get it.

[Bandit]

It's a good CD. :yes:

Anyone here into Argentum? I just got Ad Interitum Funebrarum. Mexican Black Metal. :headbang: :yes:

[Ringo]

Weeeeell, Over the weekend here in England we have had the Download Festival in Donington. Some stuff worth mentioning.

>Soulfly were brilliant, they even played 'roots bloody roots'. I swear Max kept disappearing.

>There was a mix up with times and transport problems with the bands, so Damage Plan came to the Main Stage for a surprise set. Pretty average, however, at the end Dimebag Darrel said that he'd never turn his back on the Pantera fans, and they played Walk which was incredible.

>Machine Head were immense.

>As were Hatebreed in the Second Stage tent.

>After many rearrangements because of transport problems apparently, Slayer finally came onto the second stage (they were meant to be playing the main stage.) Kerry must have changed his guitar for every song, but Ive got to hand it to Tom, who was on top form, despite his voice when he spoke being totally fucked up. They had played the Dynamo festival in Denmark I think, the night before.
Oh yeh, they were fucking brilliant. Angel Of Death, War Ensemble, Raining Blood, Dead Skin Mask all played.

>Slipknot were top draw. This new stuff is much better than the shite from Iowa.


But the main thing..

Metallica come on an hour and a half late, only three of them. And James says 'when we arrived there were four of us, all fine. But Lars has just been rushed to hospital due to a medical condition, but we hope its nothing serious.'

So then he says that they were going to be joined by a selection of drummers throughout the night. So first they were joined by Dave Lombardo, he played with them for a few songs. Then Joey Jordison played with them for a few, then Lars' drum tech, Flemming, drummed for one song, and at the end Joey came back for the last few. Quite interesting seeing Joey in his mask next to Metalica.

Also, James seems to have recognised all the criticism. He mentioned Kill `Em All alot and seemed to indicate it was his favorite.






So yeah, it was all brilliant. But if I had to name highlights..

Slayer
Machine Head
Soulfly

[blackening]

dude, thats sounds like an abosutely kick ass show. how much did you pay for the ticket? and Joey drumming for Metallica sounds really awesome as well.

[Slash]

Slayer and Slipknot are to tour the UK together later in the year. The confirmed dates, on what's being dubbed 'The Unholy Alliance' are: Glasgow SECC October 3, Birmingham NIA 5, Manchester MEN Arena 6, Cardiff International Arena 8, London Hammersmith Apollo 9.

:yes:

[Ringo]

any idea over when tickets come on sale?

[NiMMERS]

"BATHORY mastermind Tomas "Quorthon" Forsberg was found dead in his apartment in Stockholm, Sweden on Monday, June 7, informed sources have confirmed to BLABBERMOUTH.NET. The 39-year-old son of Black Mark Records owner Börje Forsberg, long considered one of black metal's founders, died of an apparent heart failure. More information as it becomes available."

Anyone here who appreciate's Black Metal to any degree should pay their homage and respect. A massive loss for extreme music.

Go out and buy the first few albums.

[GameOver!]

I heard that Varg broke out in army gear and killed him.
Nah, I didn't hear that. But Varg still sucks ass.

[Deathcow]

I can't stop listening to the new KSE album....

[NiMMERS]

I heard that Varg broke out in army gear and killed him.
Nah, I didn't hear that. But Varg still sucks ass.

I heard it was some bloke Oyster Aarseth who did it..........?

[SideburnZ]

and Joey drumming for Metallica sounds really awesome as well.


Yeah dude! I hope next time they can Mr. Fuji from Linkin Park to do scratching for them, and then Fred Durst to be a back up dancer! :hyper: It's be hardcore rocking!!111

[Ringo]

Yeah dude! I hope next time they can Mr. Fuji from Linkin Park to do scratching for them, and then Fred Durst to be a back up dancer! :hyper: It's be hardcore rocking!!111

:zzz:

Shutup. Slipknot may be a commercial band, with a large number of 10 year old fans who know fuck all about music, but Joey Jordison is a proper musician and a very good drummer. Taylors a good singer etc. as well, but let's talk about Jordison.. If you can give me five reasons why Joey Jordison is a bad musician and why Slipknot should be grouped into the same category with Linkin Park, and worser still, Limp Bizkit, then I might shutup. It is true Slipknot make commercial, easy to access music, which therefore appeals greatly to young teenagers who naturally want to be into rock music due to its rebellious side, but why does that make them mickey mouse musicians? Their music is NOT as pop orientated as Linkin Park, Good Charlotte and Limp Bizkit, who blatently are manufactured for the benefit of making money and only there simply so that Rock has a place in the mainstream.

And plus, If you named every band you like, or if the people in here named some respectable bands.. I think you would find that most of them have many songs with catchy couruses and tunes that will stay in your head because they are accessible... 'War Ensemble'..... 'Mechanix'... 'King Of Fools'..... 'Davidian'.... if I just quickly look through my song library..

so shhhhh...

[Throb]

Yeah dude! I hope next time they can Mr. Fuji from Linkin Park to do scratching for them, and then Fred Durst to be a back up dancer! :hyper: It's be hardcore rocking!!111

:lol:

Mr. Fuji............

[NiMMERS]

:zzz: but Joey Jordison is a proper musician and a very good drummer. He is a good drummer, not one of the best in the field though.


Taylors a good singer etc. What? Have you heard any new songs? The vocals are easily the weakest link! His vocals are crap even by his standards.


as well, but let's talk about Jordison.. If you can give me five reasons why Joey Jordison is a bad musician and why Slipknot should be grouped into the same category with Linkin Park, and worser still, Limp Bizkit, then I might shutup.

Joey Jordison is not neccessarily a bad musician....but playing fast does not make one a good musician...a drummer who plays fast AND is good is Flo Mounier or Derek Roddy.
1)Because they water down an unoriginal formula to make their music.
2)They are a gimmick. Half their personnel are not required (A DJ, sampler and 2 idiots who beat each other up and their rubbish bins?)...the masks and the overalls...
3)They proclaim with each new album like LP & LB do, that their respective new albums with break new ground and be fresh and exciting. The usual calls of 'more dynamic, more melodic and more heavy'.
4)They all have idiotic biased fans who like them for no concievable reason, they either move on to better things (see: The Artist formerly known as Sideburnz) or they keep thinking X band is the best thing since sliced bread despite breaking absolutely no creative barriers.
5)Their creative stagance will result in waning popularity over time (see: Korn) and will be but a memory much like other bands of their ilk who exploded with that whole nu-metal explosion of the late 90's and early noughties.

Now.....silence.


It is true Slipknot make commercial, easy to access music, which therefore appeals greatly to young teenagers who naturally want to be into rock music due to its rebellious side, but why does that make them mickey mouse musicians?

I don't even think Burnz I mean Kelly yada yada etc's point was that they sucked as musicians. He was just shitstirring and you took the bait and he got a good bite outta ya.

[Daniel Hughes]

I think it's interesting anyway Ringmaster.

[Cactus Lem]

Yeah Download was amazing!

Band of the festival was easily Slayer!!!!!!!!!!!!
The anticipation level with so many delays and them being on the 2nd stage just made it all the more better.
Saw Metallica for a 3rd time and as per ususal they were great.
Other mentions should go out to Machine Head who are defiently one of the best bands i've ever seen.
Sum 41 who i thought were terrible live ahve improved imensley, and are defiently the funniest and band i've ever seen!
Even though i don't like Linkin Park, i must give them some credit becasue they were a really good live band,
And seeing Dimebag and Walk!!!!!! Fuck, that was the pit of the weekend!!!!

[Ringo]

'He is a good drummer, not one of the best in the field though.'

Nah.. there are better drummers... but Micheal Romeo is a very good guitarist, there are many better though.

'The vocals are easily the weakest link! His vocals are crap even by his standards.'

Why? When he sings, I think he has a good voice. I would rate loooooaaaads of singers above him, but his voice is recognisable and I like it.


'1)Because they water down an unoriginal formula to make their music.'

What? Satanism, Death and Rebellion?

There are lots of well respected artists who write songs and make music about these subjects... OK, maybe the idea of 'Fuck The World' and suicide is boring nowadays, but when Slipknot started I don't think many people were annoyed by it. Probably because they wanted a new spokesperson like Cobain.... but anyway..

'2)They are a gimmick. Half their personnel are not required (A DJ, sampler and 2 idiots who beat each other up and their rubbish bins?)...the masks and the overalls...'

Pretty much every Progressive Metal band has a gimmick, bands like Slayer do, In fact so do Death and Black Metal bands... the make-up, leather, weapons etc.


3)They proclaim with each new album like LP & LB do, that their respective new albums with break new ground and be fresh and exciting. The usual calls of 'more dynamic, more melodic and more heavy'.

Ok.. but Lars Ulrich has always been a cocky twat.. Kerry King is, as is Dez Fafara, and lots of artists.

4)They all have idiotic biased fans who like them for no concievable reason, they either move on to better things (see: The Artist formerly known as Sideburnz) or they keep thinking X band is the best thing since sliced bread despite breaking absolutely no creative barriers.

Yeah.. I don't think Slipknot are the best thing since sliced bread, I think they're OK, pretty decent. But I much prefer more complex, clever music.
But what the original point was, wasnt that Slipknot are good, but it was that Joey Jordison is a good and respectable drummer.

5)Their creative stagance will result in waning popularity over time (see: Korn) and will be but a memory much like other bands of their ilk who exploded with that whole nu-metal explosion of the late 90's and early noughties.

Yeah Ok.. I'll give you that one.



I don't even think Burnz I mean Kelly yada yada etc's point was that they sucked as musicians. He was just shitstirring and you took the bait and he got a good bite outta ya.


Well No, he was laughing at the guy who kind of brought in on himself by saying 'Joey Jordison and Metallica? that sounds totally awesome dude'.


But yeah.. (y)


Well anyway.. I've just bought my tickets for Slayer and SLIPKNOT co-headlining actually so meh.

And also, how good are Fear Factory live? Crabby I think you've seen them.. They're on next week, but I might be missing something so I dunno how worth it they are..

[SideburnZ]

:zzz:

so shhhhh...



Haha. You're so childish. "Shut up!" "Shh!". No wonder you like Slipknot, you must be 12.

:rolleyes: Anyways, I'll reply more maturely.

Uhh...yeah you said a whole bunch of shit, but in the end, my opinion is that they suck, Joey sucks, Metallica sucks and no amount of "facts" you throw out at me will change that. I didn't make the joke because they're mainstream. I made it because they suck. My joke stands.

So now you shush, bitch.

[fear is the mindkiller]

'He is a good drummer, not one of the best in the field though.'

Nah.. there are better drummers... but Micheal Romeo is a very good guitarist, there are many better though.

Yes he is, but he was talking about drummers, not guitarists. Nice way of throwing that out there though :rolleyes:

[Crabby]

I can't stop listening to the new KSE album....

It's a seriously addictive album,I've had it on high rotation for weeks and I'm yet to lose interest.


Well anyway.. I've just bought my tickets for Slayer and SLIPKNOT co-headlining actually so meh.

And also, how good are Fear Factory live? Crabby I think you've seen them.. They're on next week, but I might be missing something so I dunno how worth it they are..

Download sounds damn cool.Slayer are godly live.I want to see Machine Head play a headlining show some day,though-a 40-minute set with Slayer wasn't enough.And while I'm not a fan of Metallica's last few albums they can still cut it live I must say.

And Fear Factory are good live,seen em' a few times.I think they're still finding their feet as a live band again and can improve,but they tend to play loads of their best material live these days (stuff like "Martyr","Self Bias Resistor","Edgecrusher",etc),so that's pretty cool.I don't think Archetype is great but there's a few tracks on there I'd love to hear live,such as "Slave Labor".

My opinion on Slipknot? They are contrived shite but each to their own.

[NiMMERS]

Nah.. there are better drummers... but Micheal Romeo is a very good guitarist, there are many better though.

Thanks for reiterating my point (?). I don't know what Michael Romeo has got to do with this, nice tangent.


Why? When he sings, I think he has a good voice. I would rate loooooaaaads of singers above him, but his voice is recognisable and I like it.

Each to their own. But my point is on the past 2 albums released on Roadrunner and even the indie one features more spirited vocals.



1)Because they water down an unoriginal formula to make their music.'

What? Satanism, Death and Rebellion?

There are lots of well respected artists who write songs and make music about these subjects... OK, maybe the idea of 'Fuck The World' and suicide is boring nowadays, but when Slipknot started I don't think many people were annoyed by it. Probably because they wanted a new spokesperson like Cobain.... but anyway..

Ummm when was Slipknot related to satanism? They watered down a formula of death metal to the lowest common denominator, a base version of it all and threw a few elements which was all the craze for the time of the nu-metal explosion like a DJ and a scratcher. Completely unneccesaary, they could get what those 2 guys do with samples or something on keys. Yes, the whole 'fuck society, fuck the system' lyrical perspective is boring and was so before Slipknot hit the scene.



Pretty much every Progressive Metal band has a gimmick, bands like Slayer do, In fact so do Death and Black Metal bands... the make-up, leather, weapons etc.

Who is talking about progressive death metal? SURELY Slipknot aren't to be lumped in these types of bands. Slayer don't have a gimmick. They get up there and rock out. Sure Kerry might have spiked armbands every now and then but it is not the focal point band. Slipknot use their whole visual appearance to get the kiddy scenesters on their wagon, as their isn't alot of depth to what they create.



3)They proclaim with each new album like LP & LB do, that their respective new albums with break new ground and be fresh and exciting. The usual calls of 'more dynamic, more melodic and more heavy'.[/b]

Ok.. but Lars Ulrich has always been a cocky twat.. Kerry King is, as is Dez Fafara, and lots of artists.

Lars, Kerry and Dez have nothing to do with it. They say these things to generate the interest and keep those onboard still sailing with them. I just don't like it when these things are said and there is no evidence to solidify the call.


I don't even think Burnz I mean Kelly yada yada etc's point was that they sucked as musicians. He was just shitstirring and you took the bait and he got a good bite outta ya.


Well No, he was laughing at the guy who kind of brought in on himself by saying 'Joey Jordison and Metallica? that sounds totally awesome dude'.

He laid the bait. You bit. End of story. Full credit to him.

[Aussie_Outlaw]

Finally got around to watching all of Anthrax's Music Of Mass Destruction.

Absolutely awesome, beats Megadeth's Rude Awakening (Due to Dave's poor vox there), and sits next to Rock In Rio/Live After Death (Maiden).

A nice touch was to close the set with Whiplash (Metallica Cover for those who are completely stupid) :yes:

And Nate, you'll have to resent as the net cut out with 2mb to go (and it was downloading damn slow for an unknown reason) and now I'm completely pissed off.

[Daniel Hughes]

I don't see the appeal of the new KsE album, I bought it cos "Rose Of Sharyn" is a qualtiy song, but everything else on the album is un-inspired and pretty boring imo.

[Aussie_Outlaw]

(thanx Nate)

Finally got the new Edguy video (Lavatory Love Machine) and its fucking funny as. Classic Edguy stuff. Plus the song is bloody awesome but we all knew that anyway.

But the video shows off their completely stupid side (As it should).

[WizoOzz]

I don't see the appeal of the new KsE album, I bought it cos "Rose Of Sharyn" is a qualtiy song, but everything else on the album is un-inspired and pretty boring imo.

:no:

New KsE is beyond description.

'Nuff said.

As far as Slipknot goes, there hasn't been anything interesting there in a long, long time.

[Crabby]

I don't see the appeal of the new KsE album, I bought it cos "Rose Of Sharyn" is a qualtiy song, but everything else on the album is un-inspired and pretty boring imo.

If that album is uninspired than I'm not here.They've taken everything that was great about AOJB and imroved on it really.The heavy parts are killer and the melodies are well-written and catchy,but in a damn good way,though.I'm really,really hoping that they come back for some headlining shows sometime soon.

And they're not metal,but has anyone else here picked up Velvet Revolver's "Contraband"? It's nothing earth-shattering but it's a cool hard rock album anyway.Some pretty catchy melodies.

[NiMMERS]

I've had new KsE since it came out and it's still in heavy rotation. It's great start to finish.

Today I FINALLY picked up the new Suffocation album. Along with Bongzilla's 'Apogee' and the new 1349.

[Deka]

When the hell is System of a Down dropping a new album?!

[Crabby]

I enjoyed System Of A Down's debut album back in the day but I tired of Toxcity quickly, partially due to its over-saturation,but also as I don;t reckon the songwriting or playing was anywhere near as strong.They were okay live but I have no real interest in em' anymore.

[Aussie_Outlaw]

When the hell is System of a Down dropping a new album?!

Which true music fan gives a shit?

[Deka]

I do asshole.

[QuietStorm]

But you like Cash Money. That crosses you out of any other music convos.

Dave, is there any talk of a new Symph X album?

[Deka]

It's music, dickhead. Whether you like it or not. It's music.

[Crabby]

Speaking of new releases,I very much look forward to whenever the hell Fate's Warning release their new album.

[Aussie_Outlaw]

Dave, is there any talk of a new Symph X album?

Haven't heard much from the SyX camp recently, but then again I haven't looked in that direction for quite awhile.

But just looking then:

Symphony X entered the studio on May 24th to start writing/recording their new album.

There you go.

And Deka, you've missed the point. And basically shown yourself up to be a wanker.

Deka..

System Of A Down Progress New Album

System of a Down have been recording their new album in North Hollywood since January and the record is taking shape.

Of the new songs, Serj Tankian says, "There's a good amount of social commentary in our new songs, as is typical with our writing in terms of lyrics. There are also songs where we deal with love, with reminiscing, relationships, politics, and funny experiences. But the thing that I find about the songs is that they're less specific, they are more open to interpretation, which we like a lot more."

"We've all been stretching and growing as musicians," said Daron Malakian in a statement. "The musicianship on the new songs is more complex, more intricate and technical. We're all so excited about being in this band and about getting into the studio to start recording the new album. There are a lot of things we want to try once we're in the studio, we'll be doing a lot of experimenting with these new songs."

At this stage, there is no title for the album or a release date although fans can expect to have it before Christmas.

[NiMMERS]

It's music, dickhead. Whether you like it or not. It's music.

It is music. This is the Metal Discussion Thread. System of A Down aren't really metal, hence their relevance isn't too important in this thread.

Ease up on the oestrogen too. We're a happy family here.

[Ringo]

Sooooooooo then...

any of you Aussies heard of Khanate or Gutworm... very good reviews over here.

[Ringo]

well actually you are not all Aussies.. so the Americans I ask aswell..


Also...

Any of you checked out Winnebago Deal, Avenged Sevenfold, Bleeding Through, Raunchy yet?

And for you info.. Mastodon are releasing a new album soon, and apparently it's very different, but still fucking great stuff. So we can look forward to that...

[Crabby]

I bought Raunchy's "Confusion Bay" quite recently actually-it's a pretty good album that is improving with each listen.

[Bandit]

Albums I recommend:

Norther
"Mirror of Madness"
"Dreams of Endless War"
Skyfire
"Timeless Departure"
"Mind Revolution"
"Spectral"(comes out June 28th or something though)

Norther sounds kinda like Bodom, they're friends too. Skyfire is a bit more symphonic though. Both of which I love though. :yes:

Thanks for the info.

[Crabby]

This is a few days old,but eh-

The Haunted sign with Century Media.

"Swedish thrash metal titans THE HAUNTED have signed a worldwide multiple-album deal with Century Media Records. The band has already completed work on their highly anticipated, yet still untitled, fourth album which will be released this fall. It will undoubtedly prove once again why Kerrang! labeled the band as "the single greatest exponents of balls-out metal in the world."

Commented by guitarist Anders Björler, "We are happy to have chosen CM for the next couple of albums. CM is a legendary metal label, and we feel strongly they'll support us in the best way possible."

Phil Hinkle, director of A&R for Century Media America, added, "It's an honor to be working with THE HAUNTED, and they make our already outstanding roster that much more stellar." Leif Jensen, A&R manager for Century Media Europe, comments "Personally and professionally, we look forward to lead this great band to full worldwide success. Their time is now!"

Recorded at Gothenburg's famed Studio Fredman (In Flames, Dimmu Borgir, Arch Enemy) with co-producers Patrik J. Steen & Fredrik Nordström and mixed at Denmark's Antfarm Studio by Tue Madsen, the album features such cuts as "All Against All," "99," "Who Will Decide" (featuring a guest appearance by Sick Of It All vocalist Lou Koller) and "Burnt To A Shell." THE HAUNTED also have a new addition to the fold, as original vocalist Peter Dolving, who crushed on the group's genre-defining self-titled debut release, returns with a vengeance.

Regarding Dolving's return and the new album, Anders Björler said, "It's nice to have Dolving back in the band. He's energitic, hardworking and had 1000's of fresh musical ideas upon his return. We look forward to what the future will hold for us as a band. After having recorded this new album I feel confident it will work out extremely well. Be on the look out for something really powerful this fall."

The new track sounds pretty cool as well.

[NiMMERS]

This is a few days old,but eh-

Try weeks, Brendan. You're on fire, mate :)


And for you info.. Mastodon are releasing a new album soon, and apparently it's very different, but still fucking great stuff. So we can look forward to that...

'Leviathan' is it's name. Loosely based on the tale of Moby Dick. I don't think its going to be very different, more a refined beast to what 'Remission' was...more catchier, heavier and technical. Expect it out 3rd quarter this year.


Sooooooooo then...

any of you Aussies heard of Khanate or Gutworm... very good reviews over here.

Khanate......I've heard it's dreadfully slow and supposedly VERY heavy. Kind of like Sun O))) who I reccomend to not even my worst enemy.

[Crabby]

Tsk tsk Mick,no one else had posted it and I wanted to post something with more substance than "The new track by The Haunted is cool".Haha.

[Ringo]

Could someone be so kind as to do me a favour... My computer is fucking up so I was wondering if someone could go on to the Official Fear Factory website, and find out who the support are for there June 21st show at the London Astoria, UK. Thanks.

[Deathcow]

I don't see the appeal of the new KsE album, I bought it cos "Rose Of Sharyn" is a qualtiy song, but everything else on the album is un-inspired and pretty boring imo.

As I said before, I can't stop listening to it. The only thing that I have even listened to instead was the new Shadows Fall CD, but I went right back to KSE after that one ended.

Every song on The End of Heartache is quality. I can actually listen to the entire CD without skipping one song, which I tend to do quite often. Tons of people say Alive or Just Breathing is better than the End of Heartache, but Alive Or Just Breathing doesn't even touch End of Heartache...

[Deathcow]

Well anyway.. I've just bought my tickets for Slayer and SLIPKNOT co-headlining actually so meh.

And also, how good are Fear Factory live? Crabby I think you've seen them.. They're on next week, but I might be missing something so I dunno how worth it they are..

I never said that...:scared:

AOJB is a great album but it doesn't have the long-lasting appeal of TEOH.TEOH is a major step-up for the band- there's a little more variety,and they've improved upon everything that was good about their last album.I can't see another release bettering it this year.

[Nemesis]

I just got back from Biking Across Kansas yesterday and I'm now $2000 richer. :cool:

I decided to go buy 2 Mayhem CDs (Chimera and De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas) and Type O Negative's Bloody Kisses CD (It's not the first time I've had to buy it :( ). I got a chance to listen to the new Mayhem so far, and it's a lot better than Grand Declaration of War, which wasn't bad at all. My local record store has started carrying more Mayhem stuff, which really fucking surprises me, but still no Immortal. :(

[Crabby]

I had a listen to Segression side-project Side Effect X's album.It's pretty much in the Faith No More/Tool mould and quite predictable.

[WizoOzz]

Every song on The End of Heartache is quality. I can actually listen to the entire CD without skipping one song, which I tend to do quite often. Tons of people say Alive or Just Breathing is better than the End of Heartache, but Alive Or Just Breathing doesn't even touch End of Heartache...

Right on the money there. The End of Heartache takes everything that was great from Alive or Just Breathing and kicks it up a few notches. It just, all around, is a much more solid and breathtaking effort, if that is even possible.

Howard Jones' vocals are much more blistering and soothing (at different times throughout the album) than the previous lead singer (whose name escapes me ATM). The heavy parts are heavier, the melodic parts are catchier, and overall it's simply two or three notches above the previous two albums they've put out.

And from what I've heard and read, I'm dying to get ahold of some of Jones' other band's (Blood Has Been Shed) stuff.

[Crabby]

Blood Has Been Shed are fucking blistering metalcore.My copy of "Spirals" arrived last week and it's excellent.

Has anyone heard Killswitch Engage's self-titled debut album before they signed to Roadrunner? (Or does anyone own it?) I D/L a few tracks and it's pretty good.

:wave:

I got it after I got Alive or Just Breathing. It's pretty damned good. Heavier than AoJB, and a few rougher and heavier versions of two or three tracks that slipped onto that album as well.

[Ringo]

Could someone be so kind as to do me a favour... My computer is fucking up so I was wondering if someone could go on to the Official Fear Factory website, and find out who the support are for there June 21st show at the London Astoria, UK. Thanks.

[McBain]

I took a look for you but there was no sign of support info that i could find. Sorry.

[McBain]

Any of you checked out Winnebago Deal, Avenged Sevenfold, Bleeding Through, Raunchy yet?

And for you info.. Mastodon are releasing a new album soon, and apparently it's very different, but still fucking great stuff. So we can look forward to that...

I checked out Avenged Sevenfold with The Bronx and lostprophets earlier in the year and i thought they were ok. A few points to make:

1) The lead singer looks like Hitler's love-child bred on steroids. His arms are massive.
2) The drumming was excellent.
3) Great singing and harmonies between the band.
4) A lot of the songs were catchy but nothing ground-breaking in my opinion. It was like Metal 101. Generic.
5) Decent guitar work and a tight band.
6) Point 4 doesn't mean i hated them, they were okay just not anything special as far as i'm concerned.

I've nothing against them its just i tend to try and listen to stuff that is a bit different to the stuff around at the time. Theres nothing worse than a saturation of bands with the same sound. Anyway my best mate is a real big fan of them so i'm sure i'll check them out again at Leeds Festival in August.

[Ringo]

Generic?

Generic is one word I would definitly not call Avenged Sevenfold. Groundbreaking, Original and innovative, however, are...

but each to their own.

Oh and thanks for checking..

[Crabby]

:wave:

I got it after I got Alive or Just Breathing. It's pretty damned good. Heavier than AoJB, and a few rougher and heavier versions of two or three tracks that slipped onto that album as well.

:headbang:

From what I've heard of it it has even more of a metalcore sound than their last two albums.Might have to have a look around EBay for it methinks.

[Bandit]

Avenged Sevenfold do indeed rule, and they started playing at Chain Reaction, which is less than 20 minutes from my house, and have a song called "Brea" which is less than a five minute walk from my house. :cool:

And I take it nobody has checked out Norther yet?

[NiMMERS]

:headbang:

From what I've heard of it it has even more of a metalcore sound than their last two albums.Might have to have a look around EBay for it methinks.

'Novella of Uriel' is it's name. I've seen it nowhere except the majestic overpriced haven that is Utopia. I'd like to get their debut EP/demo...I downloaded a song off it called 'Willful Ignorance', a great chugging heavy as song.


And I take it nobody has checked out Norther yet?

I heard they sound like CoB...and I'm quite over CoB. I'm not a huge fan of the bands that are signed to the Spinefarm/Spikefarm label, they tend to be horribly generic and mediocre or they all sound the same.

[QuietStorm]

Everyone seems to rip Hypocrisy's Arrival album but I quite like it. Is that so wrong?

[NiMMERS]

Everyone seems to rip Hypocrisy's Arrival album but I quite like it. Is that so wrong?

They're on Nuclear Blast right? Seems to me that lately, they are one of the worst labels to release mediocre rubbish all the time. I use to be a fan, too much power metal (sorry Dave).

[Crabby]

Mick,get back to work.

I've had a listen to a few tracks from the upcoming Ministry album and it sounds pretty promising and a real return to form.It'll be interesting to see how Al fares over the course of an album without his creative right hand man Paul Barker,though.

[NiMMERS]

Mick,get back to work.

I'm so productive and efficient AND witht the ability to multitask, I have the time to post my sweet little nothings here.

[Bandit]

Yeah, they sound like CoB quite a bit, but have you checked out Skyfire?

Also, I have a confession to make...

I AM IN LOVE...

...WITH WINDIR

What? Paul Barker isn't with him :(
I hope they remaster his early albums soon specially PSALM 69

[WizoOzz]

Yeah, but...come on. It's Hypocrisy for God's sake.

Haven't heard Arrival, but want it desperately.

[Ringo]

Yes I have been familiar with Norther for some time.

And Crabby, yeah I checked out The Butterfly Effect. :yes: Pretty Damn Good.

[Crabby]

'Novella of Uriel' is it's name. I've seen it nowhere except the majestic overpriced haven that is Utopia. I'd like to get their debut EP/demo...I downloaded a song off it called 'Willful Ignorance', a great chugging heavy as song.


Isn't that a Blood Has Been Shed album? 'Cause I'm pretty certain KSE's debut is self-titled.

And The Butterfly Effect have signed a deal with Sony for distribution in Europe so you should be able to get your hands on their album pretty soon.

[Alex E]

I've finally got my own radio show, which is on a well-known station and the signal is obtainable to anyone within Winnipeg. I've doing mostly power metal with a few random things thrown in. Judging from this week's playlist, does anyone have any bands that I should check out or would find interesting?
