Anyway, I'm really digging the new 3 Inches of Blood. Endino really plays up the old school metal, the album's really rough around the edges, which is cool ("All of Them Witches" is an awesome song title). And the more Cam Pipes goes on, the more he's starting to sound like Udo Dirkschneider...he's got quite the plegm vibrato going on this record, which is quite surreal at times.

"All of Them Witches" = Rosemary's Baby?

So--at the YOB show in SF, Will Haven was main support. It was Grady's first show back as lead singer (not sure how often this is happening). They were STAGGERINGLY good. So fucking heavy and powerful. Everyone should listen to "Saga" off Carpe Diem right now.

"all of them witches" was a song on the stark naked album in 1971... this isn't a cover, is it?

Nope, not a cover. That track does sound cool, though (listening now).

Pentagram had one of the biggest shows Satyricon has ever hosted last night. Way over capacity. Total madness. Bobby Liebling looks like something out the Dark Crystal. Fun time.

Downloading the new 3IOB now and it's taking for-fucking-ever. I know they're sending me CD-quality audio cause it's already at 470MB...how fucking long is this album?
― unperson, Thursday, 2 July 2009 23:32 (fourteen years ago) link
Haha, yeah, it took me six hours to get the 3IOB on light DSL. Great quality mp3s, though, and a very fun album.
― A. Begrand, Thursday, 2 July 2009 23:44 (fourteen years ago) link
It's finally finished. I'm reviewing it for AP, along with the new Shadows Fall. Hope that one's better than...oh, anything else they've ever done.
― unperson, Thursday, 2 July 2009 23:48 (fourteen years ago) link
I always like 3IOB, but they're really turning a corner here, the screams are only sporadic, the metal a little truer, so to speak.
Meanwhile, over at Hellbound, my decidedly YOBerrific feature is up:

Nice piece Adrien. I think this new YOB is my album of the year at this point. I wish they would come eastward on tour, but I am getting a Bloody Panda/Ocean double bill next month so I shouldn't complain too much.
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 3 July 2009 01:47 (fourteen years ago) link
We are in discussions with Planet Caravan fest in Asheville for Sept 18-19 for possible YOB fly-out. Nothing confirmed yet but there is hope...
Yes--Bobby brought his teeth!
― Nate Carson, Friday, 3 July 2009 01:58 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm gonna be in NYC then, unfortunately. Any chance of a New England tour date?
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 3 July 2009 02:11 (fourteen years ago) link
man, the new coalesce is gooooooooooooood.
never liked the vox too much, but like w/meshuggah, I can forgive the angry dude yelling at me in an intense way because the music is so head nodding and SICKK.
― original bgm, Friday, 3 July 2009 02:32 (fourteen years ago) link
and imo, the ~*most beautiful*~ metal ever is "the secret of the secret" off of this:

which reminds me, I never really listened to the last esoteric album much at all. I should really do that!
it's just weird because subconscious dissolution was probably my most anticipated metal record the year that it came out. (whatever year that was...) and it was really good too. just never got around to the last one!
― original bgm, Friday, 3 July 2009 02:44 (fourteen years ago) link
gonna check out this 3rd and the mortal record too. never heard of that. sounds like it might be up my alley.
I like the lyrical themes for the band on metal-archives:
Natural Beauty, Sadness
― original bgm, Friday, 3 July 2009 02:46 (fourteen years ago) link
A contender for "most beautiful metal" that still doesn't pull its punches:

Also, listening to new Coalesce right now. Pretty impressive (especially the interludes) but mostly it just makes me wish I was listening to Deadguy instead.
― Nate Carson, Friday, 3 July 2009 09:26 (fourteen years ago) link
Ordo Ad Chao is beautiful.
― Doran, Saturday, 4 July 2009 09:37 (fourteen years ago) link
New Dysrhythmia is very good.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 5 July 2009 12:13 (fourteen years ago) link
Since when did Job For a Cowboy get good??? The new album is shockingly enjoyable, not to mention some pretty catchy death metal. No 'core' in sight on this record.
And the new Behemoth (leaked last night) is ace.
― A. Begrand, Sunday, 5 July 2009 23:20 (fourteen years ago) link
Haven't listened to the new Behemoth front to back yet, but the one song I've had time to check out sounds like a very good Behemoth song, something I can always use more of. And yeah, JFAC have been good for a while. They recorded this one with their live drummer, who's a big improvement over the guy on their last record. The new Born of Osiris is out there too, and I'm enjoying that one quite a bit - it's weirder than their first EP, but not in a trying-to-be-Cephalic-Carnage way or anything; they're just imaginative Sumerian-core. I really like that label's output. Between them and Willowtip, the underground is in really good shape right now.
― unperson, Sunday, 5 July 2009 23:26 (fourteen years ago) link
Dysrhythmia co-signed.
Seriously though. Anyone else heard 'Buster' by Admiral Angry?
Fuck me, it's awesome.
― Doran, Monday, 6 July 2009 18:25 (fourteen years ago) link
hey thanks for the answers guys
nate carson what is this and who is it by
― FUCKIN 'TALLICA BRO (cankles), Monday, 6 July 2009 20:22 (fourteen years ago) link
Anxious to hear the new Born of Osiris. I've been paying attention to those guys for some time, my younger brother went to school with one of the dudes.

New Born of Osiris is even better on third and fourth play. Really good stuff. Just downloaded the new Vader, which I'm extremely excited about since they've got the guitar player from Decapitated now. Looking forward to the tour in November.

try Boris - Flood
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 6 July 2009 20:53 (fourteen years ago) link
I like both feedbacker and flood a bunch. kind of a toss-up but the delay pedal looping shennanigans on flood never clicked with me... but when it gets going, yeah, it's great.
― original bgm, Monday, 6 July 2009 21:21 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, didn't mean to be so mysterious re: Feedbacker. I've never owned Flood so can't comment there. But if you can handle the slow-build... Feedbacker blooms like a motherfucker. So gorgeous but also just completely on the edge of destruction the whole time. Endlessly rewarding. The best Boris these ears have encountered. I've had the good fortune to see them perform that album live more than once. Wata is such a tone master (and she looks great in a pool of her own blood, eh?)
― Nate Carson, Monday, 6 July 2009 21:28 (fourteen years ago) link
I love Feedbacker but Flood is better (they played a 40 min version live when I saw them, it was amazing, it pissed all over the Pink material from the rest of the set)
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 6 July 2009 21:34 (fourteen years ago) link
I guess I need it then. I don't care for their rock stuff much... but their heavy psych is sublime.
― Nate Carson, Monday, 6 July 2009 21:38 (fourteen years ago) link
This Amorphis album is, among other things, shamelessly catering to my love for Big Country-esque guitar hooks.
― glenn mcdonald, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 13:40 (fourteen years ago) link
They were pretty great at Fall Into Darkness festival last year. I don't know that I need to hear new Amorphis but I guess I'd give it a listen...
― Nate Carson, Wednesday, 8 July 2009 20:51 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, the new Amorphis is very good..."Silver Bride" is as good a hard rock tune as I've heard all year. They're on quite a roll as of late.
The new Priest live album is smokin'. No surprise, I saw the last two tours, but for a somewhat haphazard collection of live lesser tracks recorded in various locales, it's pretty awesome.
― A. Begrand, Wednesday, 8 July 2009 21:58 (fourteen years ago) link
Is it wrong to refer to Lacuna Coil in a show preview as "Asiago Metal"?

I am crushed at the lack of worship here for the new Madder Mortem cd.
Seriously, when it comes to metal bands whose name starts with 'M', MM simply obliterate Mastodon by any criteria one can imagine aside from 'swinging dicks'.
