In this thread, we discuss all things metal.

[samoth]

Anyone pick up the Slaughter of the Soul reissue yet?

 

[Flah]

The last two years has seen so many good reissues. Cynic, Atheist, etc.

 

[samoth]

I used to have a Cynic shirt like, a decade ago. I actually got it at Spencer's, lol. I wish I kept it, I've seen it go on Ebay for over $100.

I still have an old-ass Hypocrisy shirt with only red and white print... has Jesus bloodied up in a pentagram, and I've NEVER seen or even heard anything about this shirt, ever. I bet if it was still in decent condition, it'd be worth a fortune. We used to really want those Isengard shirts, too, but I think they were reissued identically the same, thus ruining thier prestige value.

The only shirt I could never find was a Draconian Times shirt from Paradise Lost. That album was godly.

 

[from zero]

I had Slaughter of the Soul a few years ago, when the only melodeath I had really known was In Flames' Clayman or something. I hated SOTS and got rid of it.

Christ I hate myself.

Yeah, I gotta pick that up. I need to double check, but I think I saw a new live Testament disc available. There were some other discs I have saved on my wish list at CDUniverse.

Ugg, Clayman sucked. They peaked with Jester, Whoracle was okay, but after that they lost me.

 

[markshark]

i have the original slaughter of the soul. really good. any specific metal albums on the way this year people are lookin forward to? for me id have to say misery signals, bleeding through, inflames, tool. i wanna pick up that parkway drive band too "killing with a smile."

 

[Hillmachine]

Is Tool definately this year? Wonder what direction they have gone in. i read an interview somewhere that they have really been influenced by Meshuggah

 

[Flah]

Jester Race was so good. Whoracle was decent. Colony was okay.

Then came the age of Nu Flames. I'm sure they're going to fit right in with Ferret.

 

[samoth]

Okay, I hear lotsa people talking about Meshugga, what's up with them? They hit the mainstream? I've seen their CD's at Best Buy.

Last I remember from Meshugga was their early Relapse Records days, like the Corporate Death comp or something... either way, I'm guessing they have changed drastically to be differentiated from bands like Ressurection and Benediction nowadays. I wasn't fond of their style back then, so I kinda disregarded them.

 

[samoth]

And am I the last person in the world to hear about the hidden track in Arcturus's La Masquerade Infernale? I just found about last week, lol.

They do nothing for me. IMO, they have a sound that does not change. It all sounds similar to me.

 

[Flah]

They slow it down and groove a lot more than they used to. Chaosphere is one the best albums ever released in metal. Catch-33 is the best thing out this year.

Most talented and technical band going.

Damn, they must've done something right to be around this long... I might pick up something newer by them. What label are they on now? Roadrunner?

Nuclear Blast, I believe.

Speaking of awesome things in metal, guess who saw Into Eternity, Nevermore, and Opeth last night?

 

[Flah]

I heard that Opeth was godly that night. Tell us more! I demand it!

 

[samoth]

I saw Opeth twice; they always put on a superb show. I'm sure they've only gotten better.

I never cared for Nevermore... I think his vocals annoy me or something, lol.

Who are Into Eternity?

 

[Flah]

Pretty solid power/prog metal band with light death touches from Canada.

http://mp3.centurymedia.com/IntoEternity-SpirallingIntoDepression-BuriedInOblivion.mp3

 

[from zero]

I heard that Opeth was godly that night. Tell us more! I demand it!

Godly they were!

Into Eternity opened to a crowd that seemed to be unaware of the rising Canadian powerhouse's prog-driven death metal. The five-piece had some sound problems (the vox were pretty low in the mix ...) at first, but they were quickly remedied as they tore Philly's Theatre of Living Arts apart with tracks mostly from Buried in Oblivion—4 tracks from the aforementioned to 2 from their previous release (Dead and Dreaming, I think it's called?). With Malmsteen-like speed and remarkable trade-off solos from the virtuosos on the six-strings, machine-like precise drum work, and vocals with a range of the most ungodly, evil sound to the very impressive soprano of lead singer Chris Krall, Into Eternity left the stage to a deafening roar and devil horns aplenty from the sold-out crowd.

An acoustic intro, Precognition, set the stage for a punishing set from Nevermore. Anticipating an amazing show from the Seattle five-piece, I was not let down one bit as Warrel Dane and company obliterated the audience with its opener (of both the show and their new album), Born. Perfection is not a word I use often to describe a live show, but I'll come damn close to saying it right now. Jeff Loomis' guitar work was unbelievable, and Dane's vocals sounded as good as they do in the studio (he had even claimed he was suffering from a cold. I couldn't tell). The set consisted of many of my favorite cuts from This Godless Endeavor, including of course Born, Final Product, My Acid Words, Bittersweet Feast, and the epic title track. They played a couple from Enemies of Reality, as well as one I believe to be from Dead Heart in a Dead World, which I unfortunately do not own, but will definitely be picking up soon. The Maiden-like dual solos simply blew me away. I wish I knew the name of that song. Anyway, I think I've said enough. Outstanding performance, and Nevermore has moved into one of the top spots of "best bands I've ever seen live."

And then came the mighty Opeth. Two jaw-dropping hours worth. Covering songs from My Arms, Your Hearse, Blackwater Park, Damnation, Deliverance, and Ghost Reveries, Opeth pretty much played something for everyone last night. All eyes were on the stage as Mikael Åkerfeldt's vocal dichotomy of beauty and brutality wowed the City of Brotherly Love with The Baying of the Hounds, When, Bleak, In My Time of Need, The Grand Conjuration, Face of Melinda, Deliverance, and Blackwater Park. (I believe they encored with Demon of the Fall, but I skipped out after Blackwater Park, as it was retardedly late as it was, and I would have missed my train if I hadn't). Highlights of the show had to be during When, one of my favorite Opeth songs, and In My Time of Need, my favorite off the Damnation record. Seeing Åkerfeldt step away from the mic with a smile on his face from ear to ear as he observed the crowd singing every word was an amazing concert moment.

Unbelievable show from beginning to end.

 

[H_T_]

lay down your soul to the gods rock `n' roll
metal ten fold through the deadly black hole
riding hells stallions bareback and free
faking our chances with raw energy

uhhhhh, oohhhhh, Black Metal!!!!!

 

[powerslave]

Nuclear Blast, I believe.

This tour is not coming anywhere near me.

You need to pick up Dead Heart in a Dead World. I love that album.

 

[UA_Iron]

Last show I was at was cryptopsy in san diego, fractured my finger punching someone in the head.

Saw them twice actually, once in tucson, the other in san diego

 

[samoth]

Bullet belts = metal.

 

[powerslave]

4006 songs on my iPOD ALL METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[samoth]

4006 songs on my iPOD ALL METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn! Nice! Do you keep the songs randomized? I could never do that, I always liked going album at a time.

If you can somehow download your entire playlist to this thread, you should do it.

 

[powerslave]

I keep it on shuffle. If I want to here an entire album, I will take it off shuffle and listen to that album.

 

[UA_Iron]

I got roughly 6200 metal mp3s, 7500 mp3s total.

 

[Flah]

I have around 150 GB. I'd say a good half of that is metal, if not more.

Yeah.

I'm also really poor.

 

[samoth]

I'm also really poor.

LOL, same here. But even so, I've just never gotten into DLing music or anything involving computers. I don't know why, it's very common today. I just have an obsession with wanting to own the CD.

Although the idea of having 4,000 songs in ONE place is neat. Especially with everything programmable, so one can go album-by-album or what have you. I should probably get with the times.

Do you guys pay to DL your music? Like, what was the TOTAL cost in having 4K songs in an Ipod? Or is pirating easy?

paying is for suckers.
and I doubt any metal bands label is gonna come after you unless you're really a bonehead about it.

These guys dont make money from the CDs usually either - mainly the touring.

I'm not really concerned about the individual bands.

News article from my previous school: http://www.advancetitan.com/story.asp?issue=11109&story=3341

I don't think they went through with the charges, but it gave some people a wake-up call, and the UWisconsin system started really cracking down.

I don't download my tunes. Like you, I want the disc with the artwork, liner notes, lyrics, etc. Plus, I feel like it's another way to support the bands/music I love. Even if they don't make much on the cd sale. I buy my discs and then import them onto the iPOD.

Seriously, if you're poor and you want music but feel guilty about downloading a lot of stuff, become a reviewer.

I get sent a bunch of stuff. For free. And a lot of sucks. But that's besides the point.

The kicker is, you don't even have to be a good writer to get stuff, you just need to have a wide audience.

It's not that I feel guilty or anything, I just like having the real thing... and sound quality seems to be poor often on the DL'ed stuff. At least the one month or so I used Kazaa my frosh year, on '01. I'm sure it's improved. I used to get free or really cheap demo CD's, the ones identical to the official releases but in cardboard sleaves, from the Milwaukee Metal Shop back in the day, but even then I still wanted the CD, lol. Then again, this is coming from s guy who has four different copies of Seventh Son. And no, don't ask why, lol.


POWERSLAVE!! You rule! I actually like going through other metal friends' CD collections and lists of what they got.

 

[samoth]

LOL, I still have the Death is Just the Beginning I on VHS. Classic.

Nah dude, if you're get a metal radio show on your college station - they always send college stations a ton of stuff.

Interesting idea... I was friends with one of the guys who ran the Friday night metal stuff at my old school. I never really thought about that. Wouldn't be resume-building, but would still be interesting.

 

[majutsu]

powerslave nice list!

I am listening to emperor and amon amarth so far this morning. I need coffee. Badly.

Why don't you have any emperor ps?

I like dling. I use itunes or rhapsody, or the mp3 label purchases for rarer stuff. Worse comes to worse (like willowtip) I buy the cd and make my own mp3.

 

[majutsu]

Now enjoying Mayhem and Nokturnal Mortum

with slices of God Dethroned and Epoch of Unlight

 

[samoth]

I didn't know you were into black metal, Maj!

I don't think Powerslave's a big black metal fan, more death and power metal.

What era Emperor? I think it's pretty obvious Samoth is an Emperor fan until that whole Peccatum incident, ugh...

And Mayhem, same question?... they've remained pioneers of the scene for almost two decades, and the center of the whole '90's BM controversy in Norway. I never got into the newer Grand Declaration sound, but it's still amazing. Deathcrush was their cult classic... and I say this only 'cause I've never been a huge fan of Euronymus, lol.

the only blackmetal I really listen to anymore is Immortal. I prefer my vocals to sound like the cookie monster instead of squeezing a rat

Maybe the same reason I have three versions of their earlier releases. They are all different. I have the original, the first re-isssue(contained b-sides on a second disc), the second re-issue(enhanced liner notes, cd-rom stuff and when put in order make the Eddie from the first disc).

HA! I'm not alone!

But do you have the double-disc one? Those got bloody expensive once they went OOP. I had several when they first came out, but I sold them for some reason. I've picked a couple up I've come across for normal price, but that's very rare.

Crap, I just realized what you wrote. Those weren't the first re-issues, were they? I have two copies of Seventh and Piece of Mind, and both are very old. Similar, but some different label markings and dates.

You like Satyricon at all? Garm and his 376 different projects? Vintersorg? ANY Borknagar?

 

[Flah]

*floats in*

Opinions no one asked for:

Prometeus: blah blah is my favorite Emperor album. Can't really get into the other stuff. Peccatum put out a new EP this year and while it's not as bad as the other stuff, it's not good either. Samoth, Faust, and Trym are doing great stuff with Zyklon. Tchort is turning out solid stuff (Blood Red Throne, Green Carnation). Mortiis...is Mortiis...sigh.

Epoch of Unlight is okay. The new twelve minute Arsis song slays it though.

I actually like Chimera more than anything Mayhem has done with the slight exception of maybe De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas.

Oh, and I can't stand Satyricon, haha. More Spiral Architect! Go with the better band guys!

Really? I've never heard many people take the newer Emperor sound over the classic Nightside. My personal favorite was Anthems, the entire album, sound, production just had a flow to it that I thought blended perfectly. And it was such a huge step in a different direction from Nightside. We were all pretty hyped for IX, but it was a general disappointment for most of us. Granted, I really liked it and all, but it was just... too big a step in a different direction. Warriors of Modern Death was one of/the best song on the album, but their style and direction didn't sit well with the old-school BM fans who disliked anything past 3rd gen BM.

I honestly didn't think anyone in the world listened to Piccatum's debut more than once. I thought it was horrible... and lots of people agree with that. To be fair, though, I've heard nothing from the act since.

And LOL @ being polite and mentioning Mortiis. (Umm... so are those ears and nose REALLY real, ie., permanant? Umm....)

Chimera is the only official full-length I never picked up. Heard some, didn't really seem impressive. That's around the same time period we started seeing bootlegged Morbid CD's around, so we were still grabbing all the old stuff.

I'm the only person I know that never liked De Mysteriis. I just never cared for Euronymus's vox in general, but especially on that record. The only thing worse would be Pure Fucking Armegeddon... but I honestly couldn't discern much on that recording anyway, so there may not have even BEEN vocals, lol. (note to all: DON'T buy Pure Fucking Armegeddon. Horrid recording.)

Oh, and I can't stand Satyricon, haha. More Spiral Architect! Go with the better band guys!

Really? None of their stuff? The last thing I bought from them was the EP before volcano, after Satyr turned into trailer-park trash. We caught them live around that time, and he seriously looked like an idiot. Stained and torn size medium white undershirt and no hair. The music was still good... but a pain to see compared to the Nemesis Divina video's...

I've never heard Spiritual Architech, but it sounds Vintersorgy. lol

 

[samoth]

Hey Powerslave, just curious if you collect vinyls? (or anyone else here)

 

[majutsu]

my two favorite musics are jazz and metal (making atheist a secret favorite . . . )

I don't like "death metal" crypto/morbid/etc per se.
Don't get some "doom metal", but do like the sludgier side like Eye Hate God.
But so-called "black metal" with the philosophical/spiritual stuff, especially when mixed with thrash type blast beats.

I really like Epoch of Unlight, for example. I loved Arsis' last album, and pimped it all over the place. I hadn't heard the new one, flah, but I'm sure it kicks. I do like the thrashier quality of epoch though. I like god dethroned too, all that kind of stuff. Flah, samoth, ps, anyone that can recommend further black metal i'd like clue me in, as my ears are always open.

I don't listen to black metal but every 1-2 months, but today I woke up on the wrong side of the apocalypse!

At my age, the bands I'm trying to form are jazz bands, as nearing-40 year old black metal artists look goofy. But I listen to black metal on my stereo whenever I brake from studying bebop cuts.

Peccatum's debut is quite possibly one of the worst things I've ever heard. To this day, I've never met anyone that liked it. Some of their later stuff picked up some fans. The new one is worth a look if you're super interested in hearing where they went. It's not very far though.

New Ulver > that and I find the new Ulver to be kind of annoying.

Emperor is one of those bands who I own all their big releases yet don't really get into them that much.

From what I have: Prometheus > Anthems > Nightside > IX Equilibrium

Chimera is the only official full-length I never picked up. Heard some, didn't really seem impressive. That's around the same time period we started seeing bootlegged Morbid CD's around, so we were still grabbing all the old stuff.

(note to all: DON'T buy Pure Fucking Armegeddon. Horrid recording.)

PFA sounds horrible but it has some okay songs. De Mysteriis is one of those records that everyone has to own. I like it a lot but maybe that's because it was one of the first black metal albums I ever heard. It has a nostalgic quality. Same with Transilvanian Hunger, Under the Sign of Hell, and Pure Holocaust.

Really? None of their stuff? The last thing I bought from them was the EP before volcano, after Satyr turned into trailer-park trash.

I've never heard Spiritual Architech, but it sounds Vintersorgy. lol

Spiral Architect is like tech near power metal in the vein of Watchtower but with crazy bass lines. I love it.

I only owned Dark Medieval Times and heard the rest through various people. It's been a long time but I remember really not liking it.

Awesome black metal worth a look:
1349 - Hellfire
Fast blasting stuff like Immortal. When it's going good, it's like a wall of noise washing over you. The last song will put you in a trance.

Aborym - With No Human Intervention
Industrial tinged bm. Fans of Anaal Nathrakh should check it out for sure.

Axis Of Perdition
Anything from them is worth a look but their new one isn't as great. Awesome atmosphere. Def not something to listen to at night.

Blut Aus Nord - The Work Which Transforms God
Frenchy bm that builds a great creepy atmosphere and has some killer spaced out melody.

Deathspell Omega - Kenose
One of the best releases this year. Deep vocals and huge epic songs.

Inquisition - Magnificent Glorification of Lucifer
More bm that will put you in a trance except this is stripped down midpaced stuff. Unique vocals, unlike anything I've ever heard.

Khold - Krek
Has a progressive tinge. Fantastic bass lines. They also get sludgy (!).

Leviathan - Tentacles Of Whorror
Killer atmosphere. One of the best active USBM bands around.

Lurker of Chalice - s/t
Members of Leviathan. Think Leviathan but not as brutal.

Nargaroth - Geliebte des Regens
Burzum influenced stuff. Long hypnotic washes of distortion.

Tangorodrim - Unholy Metal Way
Drunken thrashy black metal from Israel of all places.

Velvet Cacoon - Genevieve
It'll put you to sleep in a good way. It can be a bit of a mindfuck but it's well worth the listen.

Weakling - Dead as Dreams
The best thing that USBM ever produced. Huge epic songs that will appeal to fans of Opeth and the like. One of the guys is in The Fucking Champs now, haha.

 

[majutsu]

I'm checking those out flah!

BTW I also like the pure reinvention black metal like Naer Mataron which I am listening to now

 

[Flah]

Maj, have you heard the new Coprofago? It's seriously like Front Page/Extraction mixed with Meshuggah at times. It rips.

[samoth]

Since Maj mentioned it, does anyone here like doom metal much?

I've never really seen much of a solid line differentiating doom metal from death/doom metal from death metal with doomy overtures from ... ad infinitum. I've never really been able to look at doom as it's own self-sufficient sub-genre, but more a primary ingredient added to other styles or sub-genres.

Doom Rock: I like some of Cathedral's older stuff up through Carnival Bizzare, however, except for their first couple releases, they'd fall under that esoteric genre of doom rock with St. Vitus and company. Celestial Seasons and St. Vitus both seemed pretty uninteresting, and Vitus sounded way too Sabbath-influenced. I've never in my life been fond of Sabbath or Ozzy.

Doom Unclassified?: LOL, I picked up the first EP and LP of the doom metal band Skepticism after hearing some good reviews by their label Red Stream, and it was pretty boring. I don't want to say bad... just utterly boring and devoid of substance. I have no idea what genre they would fall under, if even deserving of such an honour.

"Doom Metal": IMO, does not really exist in a pure form, per se. I refuse to admit Paradise Lost's first two albums were anything close to this "doom metal". I think the only band deserving here would be the classic My Dying Bride and their long-lost clone Anathema. Early My Dying Bride were one of the most original, innovative, and talented bands in the history of metal.

"Death/Doom Metal": My Dying Bride and bands of similar style could be classified here just as easily as being straight "doom metal". Probably nearly half of death metal could be claimed as having a death/doom metal style.

I won't even touch any amalgamations of doom and black metal, lol.

 

[Flah]

Doom is my second favorite genre. God I love it so. Slow and heavy >

I never liked Skepticism. There's so many bands that do funeral doom better than that now. Shape of Despair and Esoteric are miles beyond that. I also don't like MDB, Anathema, or Paradise Lost, haha! I get shit for that almost daily.

Cathedral is great. I like their newer stuff more than their older stuff. I don't care for Saint Vitus. Again, there are too many bands that do that sound better. Reverend Bizarre, Orodruin, and the kings, Sleep.

 

[samoth]

I'm a rabid Paradise Lost fan, mainly of the Icon and Draconian Times era, and a bit with As I Die material. One Second... I don't know. It's completely different coming as a follow up to Draconian (which I've heard repeated analogies to Metallica's black album), but still well done for what it is. Kinda like Ulver's follow-up being trip-hop (still love that album, largely 'cause of Blake), but on a commerciable level. I've never heard anything beyone One Second. I'm scared to, lol.

I played violin for over six years, so I've always had a thing for string instruments. My Dying Bride's incorperation of it brought a level of atomosphere to death/extreme metal that had never been done before -- and they did it good. I know quite a few people that never really got into them, so I dunno. I always thought it was pure genius, especially complimented with Aaron's vocal style.

Whenever I hear about the band Sleep I think of Tiamat. LOL. I don't know why. I had an album or two by the latter, and never cared for them at all. I don't even know if I've even heard Sleep before. They always seem to get brought up as an influence or progenitor of their style, but I never hear anything about them directly.

 

[samoth]

Also, if anyone has any interest in black metal, I would strongly suggest the book Lords of Chaos. Very well written documentary on black metal's origins well beyond and outside of the Norway scene. Lots of gibberish of Varg's writings, but that's easily skipped, lol. It's at least in it's second printing, likely third. Probably $15 or so at Amazon.com.

 

[Flah]

Ugh, Tiamat. I own a Tiamat album. Guess which one, haha.

I just came into the metal game too late to appreciate MDB, Paradise Lost, etc. I didn't get to grow up on that and I unfortunatly had to hear it after hearing a loooooooot of other stuff. Just how it goes. Coincidently, the strings are what kept me interested in MDB. I only owned The Angel and the Dark River though. I guess I should get around to checking out the rest. I hear good things about their new one. I'll give all that stuff another shot.

Sleep is pure stoner rock. Dopesmoker is a milestone in the genre. One hour long song. And not like a song made up of many different parts. I mean, it's just one long song, verse/chorus/verse/bridge style. It's gigantic.

Members went on to form High on Fire and OM.

 

[samoth]

Oh my god, MDB's The Angel... was their breaking away from their death metal roots. If that's all you've heard of them, DL or find some songs online from their best era. Also note MDB went back to DM an album or two after the 3.14159% Complete album or whatever it's called (never got it; recieved poor reviews as well).

*gets cd's out*

Their greatest masterpiece was Turn Loose the Swans (1993). The Angel... was their follow up to this in '95. As the Flower Withers (1992) is a good album, but it simply pales in comparison to it's follow-up.

Before As the Flower... were three cult EP's, released in CD form as Trinity. All three of these EPs are godly, but much more unrefined than latter material.

Personally, I would suggest listening to, DLing, or buying Turn Loose... for a look at the band in it's finest form.

One of their newer releases, The Light at the End of the World, was their re-emergence into the mixed gutteral vocal style that was once their trademark. I thought this was a really good album, but they lost their violinist sometime before this album.

I just checked Yahoo Launch, and they have a video from MDB's latest offering. I haven't heard or seen anything past The Light..., but hey, it's free. And, of course, they have a couple Manowar videos there as well

Sleep is pure stoner rock. Dopesmoker is a milestone in the genre. One hour long song. And not like a song made up of many different parts. I mean, it's just one long song, verse/chorus/verse/bridge style. It's gigantic.

Hmm... lol, I wonder if this or Swano's Edge of Sanity CD was released first.

 

[samoth]

But so-called "black metal" with the philosophical/spiritual stuff

Hmm... first thing coming to mind when I hear BM and "philosophy" is Varg Vikernes of Burzum fame, lol. I don't think I'd recommend any of his music to you, though, but he was very outspoken in this... kinda... stuff... okay, so I skipped that part of the book and we couldn't make it past the first couple pages reading his first written work, but it's something along these lines, lol.

The closest stuff I can think ITO 'spiritual' (WRT BM) would be mythology-based bands like Enslaved (THE originators of Viking Metal, ie. black metal with appropriate lyrics). Finntroll is along those lines, and I really want to pick one of those up, but don't have any... thus couldn't really recommend it.

Moving towards the experimental end of BM would be where my strongest rec's come from, though I would advise checking into to see if they fit your interests:

Ulver - The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. This is a 2-disc offering by Ulver (feat. Garm of Arturus and 3,198 other side projects, lol) covering the respective plates of Blake's literary masterpiece. NOTE: Umm... it's not black metal. Or metal. Or rock. It's, as they define, "trip-hop", a Euro-style thing. Nothing to do with rap or hip-hop, no worries.

Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale. Personally, I would say this is one of the greatest in rock/metal history. Again featuring Garm, Hellhammer, and an all-star cast, this album defies definition. I simply cannot explain the music in a concise manner. Track 5 is titled "Alone", a poem by Poe.

I would also suggest some of Vintersorg's albums. His music is very science-oriented, and maintains a traditional BM sound with roots in Borknagar's The Olden Domain with mixed vocals. His older work is folkey and in his native language, while his newer material is mostly in english with a notable universe/space concept... which I would usually say is lame, but when he starts off an album quoting Maxwell, it's got my interest.

I know their reputation, but I would urge anyone with a taste for metal and classic literature of the macabe to listen to Cradle of Filth's Dusk and Her Embrace. Hey! I'm serious! They were good back then... they were the BEST in black metal. Forget everything you've heard about the band's name and try this album. Rarely do listeners fail to fall in love with the perfectly layered musical masterpiece that this album is... and the few who aren't fond of the vocal style of Dani are still awed by sheer power, beauty, depth and masterfully executed skill. (But I fell in love with this album, so I'm likely carrying a biased opinion).

And *cough* if you like strong male vocals, give a listen to Manowar's Nessun Dorma. Eric did a breathtaking performance of this classic Italian opera.

"Eric Adams is often named the best singer in heavy metal and is credited with being unable to sing anything off-key. One of his greatest feats was singing a part of the "Nesum Dorma" opera live as tribute to the Italian Manowar fans, and later recording the song for the "Warriors of the World" album." -Wikipedia

And hey, if Orson Welles was willing to narrate two pieces for them, they gotta have something going!

[Flah]

Hmm... lol, I wonder if this or Swano's Edge of Sanity CD was released first.

Crimson still has very varied parts. I mean, Dopesmoker (which was originally recorded somewhere between 92-96, it was delayed because no one wanted to put it out) is a song in the simplest of senses. There's a verse section, a chorus, and a bridge. That's it. There's not even really a chorus. Essentially there's one riff that evolves (or devolves), some solos, and a section where they strip away the distortion. It's just insanely heavy. Almost trance inducing.

And it's an hour and three minutes.

Corrupted bested them with an hour and eleven minute song this year. They've really been pushing the boundaries of how long a song can be.

Bunkur wrote a long ass song that pushes an hour too.

I'll check out more MBD probably later this week. People have been harrassing me for months now. I'll take the plunge.

 

[samoth]

Okay, I haven't picked up the newest Vintersorg yet, but he's obviously continuing down the same lyrical/conceptual path. If only he could create the feeling and atmosphere of Wintry Grey...


"Matter creates a play, persistent and keen,
Where the night have opened its curtain
Harmonic pictures on the sky's enormous screen
With a contra positioned twin hiding within"

Faster, twice as fast than the gravitation equation permits,
Is the rotation of the celestial spheres
But if Einstein's calculation to this failure admits,
We wouldn't even know about the calculation's fears,

That the: gas clouds in galaxy clusters have a too little mission,
While wearing dark halos of matter
They would need four times of their gravity erudition
To silence our question's patter, (about the)

Dark matter mystery,
Blackbody spectrum,
An interstellar medium
We're tracing lost energy
That's swallowed by an unplanetary tum
At the worlds bivium

Like a shadow to the starfeild's determinism,
The invisible twin follows its pace
Comprehensible monism changed to indefinable pluralism
Is it super-symmetry's surrounding face? (in a)

[chorus]

Are we wrong in our definition of mass and weight?
Or, is a subatomic particle playing hide and seek?
'Cause light is missing to pronounce cosmos' fate,
While, mass discrepancy drains through a major leak

Brown and white dwarfs two candidates,
Black holes and neutron stars two others
But through multitudes of observation of their states,
We know that gravitational leansing hide their mothers (it's a)

[chorus]

"Like Bell, I connect my senses to the vast
Stellar mirror, where signals bounces from clast to clast"

1. Prologue Dialogue - The Reason

[Man:]
Our evolving existence
Is the wording of our endless strife

[Matter:]
(silence)

[Man:]
I'm built by you, but you live only through me
A paradox that I still escape

[Matter:]
(silence)



12. Epilogue Metalogue - Sharpen Your Mind Tools

[Man:]
Our evolving existence
Is the wording of our endless strife

[Matter:]
But what about my assistance?
Of granting you these questions of life

[Man:]
I'm built by you, but you live only through me
A paradox that I still escape

[Matter:]
But, it's by that clue that your thinking can be
The reader of my numerous shapes

So, sharpen your mind tools,
your grammar of logics refines
And sharpens your mind tools,
Cause the thinking of thinking evolves your thinking
Mind tools,
Reasoning dug forth from inner mines
With sharpened mind tools
Your awareness is kept from sinking,
Into sleep

[Man:]
But the principle of awareness stretches
In our nerves, longer than the ecavator

[Matter:]
I'm your sensible nerve that fetches
Your views. Your thoughts resonator

So, sharpen your mind tools,
your grammar of logics refines
And sharpens your mind tools,
Cause the thinking of thinking evolves your thinking
Mind tools,
Reasoning dug forth from inner mines
With sharpened mind tools
Your awareness is kept from sinking,
Into sleep


It still irks me how they say "logics" and "maths" over in Europe, lol.

I'm interested to see the extent to which Vintersorg retained his rarely-changed musical and vocal style. Except for the early folkey stuff with BM interludes, he's been pretty consistant in both Vintersorg and Borknagar.

 

[Flah]

Solefald is worth a look if you want...dare I say...literate metal. They put out the first part of a two part epic this year. They've done some really out there concept albums. A lot of people are driven off by the punky vibe that some of their sections have but they are a really neat band.

 

[powerslave]

Hey Powerslave, just curious if you collect vinyls? (or anyone else here)

I have not bought a vinyl record since sometime in the mid/late 80's. I do have all the old Kiss albums on vinyl and Maiden's Live After Death double album. Which at the time was different than the cassette and both of those were different than the VHS tape (which I have as well). I wish they would put that on DVD.

 

[majutsu]

I really like the 1349 and the Leviathan Flah! Those both appeal to me. Probably the Leviathan slightly more once I appreciated the atmospheric touches a little.

Samoth, everyone tells me to check out Ulver. I've not done this. People also say Abigor. Is this similar?

I will plough through some more. I guess I really me not so much spiritual as in lyrics, as in spiritual as in radiating a tripped-out vibe. That's why I like the Leviathan; it's creepy. I drift to the alternative slice in every genre.

 

[samoth]

Careful with ulver, you'll get everything from ear-splitting black metal recorded on a four track to non-metal folk to technoish trip-hop.

Maybe something kinda ambient like Neptune Towers? Mortis?

 

[Flah]

Ulver has one of the best background stories in BM. From recording in a forest to taking promo shots in sun glasses. Sweet.

Maj, you should take a quick look into some dark ambient/drone/noise stuff.

Lustmord - The Place Where the Black Stars Hang (classic)
Sunn 0))) - Black One (this album is just goddamn evil)
Atrium Carceri - Cellblock (found these guys the other day)
Lotus Eaters - Mind Control for Infants (ft. Plotkin and Aaron from Isis)
Merzbow - Merzbuddha (this is pretty good as far as his 21st century stuff is concerned)
Namanax - Monstrous (very underrated American noise artist)
Oren Ambarchi - Triste (did some work on Black One)
Skullflower - Orange Canyon Mind (this will drive you insane if you let it)
Prurient - Black Vase (a whoooole lot of feedback. Comparable to Air Conditioner)
Boris - Dronevil (their drone stuff is just miles beyond their rock stuff)

If you want something that's going to be a kick in the gut:

Whitehouse - Birdseed
Sutcliffe Jugend - When Pornography is no Longer Enough

Extreme power violence. The vocals can be so over the top they sound goofy but the message is startling and just demented.

Or even...UNHOLY PULL OF THE MOON! Haha, I hope that gets a chuckle out of Samoth.

 

[Hillmachine]

Sunn 0))) - Black One (this album is just goddamn evil)

Awsome.

I kind of worried about Misery Signals. They said they were going to try and make everything...catchier.

[Flah]

Misery Signals announced that vocalist Jesse Zaraska has parted ways with the band. Zaraska was a founding member of the band since 2002 and had done vocals on both the band's debut EP and acclaimed full-length Of Malice And The Magnum Heart which launched the band into the hardcore stratosphere. The band including Kyle Johnson (bass), Ryan Morgan (guitar), Branden Morgan (drums) and Stuart Ross (guitar) will be holding auditions for a new vocalist and those interested are invited to download a track that the band placed on their myspace page without vocals for the song "In Summary Of What I Am" and ask vocalists to add their own vocals and e-mail back to the band. Zaraska has released the following statement to the public "I would like to say thank you to everyone who came to the shows, danced, sang and supported the band throughout the years. Canadian love to Carl, Portland, Rick, Conrad, Dicky, Mike Longhair, MC, Mixon and Smith, The Baines, Undying, xWith Honorx, The Wage girls, DEP, 18V, Premonitions, ForDireLifeSake, ETID, Robbins and Emery, Hoya and Madball, Brandan and Bleeding Through and our bros in ZAO, up the irons." You can check out Zaraska's new project Sleeping Girl, which features former members of Compromise (Zaraska's band before Misery Signals) at www.myspace.com/sleepinggirl. Zaraska says "Musically it is something quite different, lyrically its picks up right where I left off in MS." Misery Signals would like to wish Zaraska well on his new endeavor.

I'm totally going to try out! lol I'm sending a track Flah. I'm thinking Misery Signals needs that Tom Jones meets Tom Waits sound . . .

My lyrical content mostly centers around the fleeting feelings of my left testicle. I wanted my musical message to have some focus!

 

[Flah]

How could I justify this
I can make anything alright
But what do you know about sacrifice
You are no ballsack
Any nut a creep
Any nut deserving
Any nut
A victim, a testicle
