Rolling Metal Thread 2010

I knew you would know them. I've got mp3s of the demo tape and it's every bit as good as you would hope.

whoa, I have to check this out. weakling and asunder were both pretty great.

I have the gault lp too, its great.

never heard of that act. another one for the memory banks!

The Gault was gothic metal at its best. Swans fans take note!

I haven't mentioned Dispirit much because Gossard wants the band to make a name on its own (without alluding to his previous projects). It's sort of an impossible mission though.

Ultra psyched to see them live!

so aquarius records acidentally sent my two copies of njiqahdda - "yrg alms." i notified them of the error and offered to send one back, but they told me to just pass it along to someone who might like it. rolling metal, i offer it to you.

njiqahdda are a couple guys from illinois who play a spiritual, k.i.p. mix of black metal and post-rock. they also sing in a language that they made up. it's not the most amazing stuff ever, but i dig it. post here and ilxmail me if interested and i'll gladly ship it to you!

Sounds intriguing for sure. I trust aQ's taste in stuff they pimp, for sure.

Why am I typing like that? I'm exhausted.

That sounds pretty interesting. How's their made up language? Sigur Ros? Cocteau Twins?

according to them, their made up language is a mix of germanic and scandanavian languages, greek, arabic, and english. there is an entire lyrics sheet in the made up language, so they have obv put some effort into this.

anyways, first person to ilxmail me a shipping address gets it. no shipping cost or anything.

Love Njiqahdda. Several EPs behind (they're uber-prolific), but loved everything I've heard so far. Good to see them getting a mention here.

Haven't seen any mention of this on ILM, but it's fucking awesome.

That's the UK Sacrilege - Reaping The Demo(n)s - 2 discs of demos and live stuff from 84-87 - really excellent crusty thrash metal with female vocals.

super lame that the Kylesa isn't coming out for another month

But Dawnbringer's Nucleus is out tomorrow! Everyone should be rejoicing.

true! maybe I'll check it out

Ok here's my huge announcement!!!

http://www.adultswim.com/metal

Adult Swim and Scion have curated a free download metal compilation. It's killer, and we're on it.

sorry for the n00b q but which one r u?

Winger

ah awesome congrats d00d!!

uh there's no band named that on the tracklist

Nate is the drummer for Gay Dad Witch Mountain.

ah! will have to check 'em out. congrats Nate!

Thanks guys. We are flabbergasted to be in such good company. 13 years we've been waiting for an opportunity like this.

It's funny that we're between Saviours (who played right before us at last year's Fall Into Darkness fest) and Isis (who we played main support to on the Celestial tour). It's like metal history is cyclical or something.

the heaviest bands in existence! congrats dude.

right on, nate!

It's like you're the tasty iron filling in a heavy metal sandwich. Congrats!

Wow, that's pretty damn heavy.

Congratulations Nate! And the song sounds great.

New Torche is good and I'm currently enjoying new Envy!

btw since there's chat on ILE about an I Love Football board, anyone for or against an I Love Metal? (not im not for or against it, just wondering what everyone thinks)

against--no reason to break up ilm

Sounds like it would get more use than a board made for NOIZE dudes.

i see what cad is saying, at the same time rolling metal thread is unwieldy and murder to find things on. you cant just revive it like you can with individual threads, but most metal bands you cant start a thread on as you might get 1 or 2 replies.
otoh i think some are put off posting to rolling metal thread as theyre not a regular

I know I find it very hard to just jump into the rolling metal discussion. And one thread for all of metal just isn't enough, IMO.

then make 2 rolling metals per year. this is an extremely friendly thread btw so no one should be put off from posting.

i think people should be encouraged to make threads for individual bands if they want. i would hate to see ilm balkanize.

plus a lot of chat about albums on this thread is journos who have promos who hear stuff months before the rest of us do, that's not so great, individual threads on a board allow you to revive.
bur, the thing i like best about the rolling threads are the community feel of it. all mates together, but i can see how that's offputting to some. but I dont think we're clique-y at all, are we?

i think cad might agree with me on the latter!

i dunno every time someone has come in here asking abt something or looking for help i feel like they get multiple useful responses

i do agree that it's tough when discussion about an album happens months apart, but for bigger albums someone should just make threads for them or use a thread for that band

problem is, even scott complained about all the metal threads on ilm.

scott is ornery tho

better not let him MOD it then :)

you could still have this thread, and leave the sub-board for threads on individual bands & albums.

unrelated but you guys should totally get a football board. not because football threads "clog up ile" or whatever, i just think you all would have a lot of fun with it

i know, but it's the football fans who are against it!

yeah they don't know what they're missing

ilh and ilnfl are the two best boards on the site

for the same reason you wouldn't like a metal board. but threads on niche stuff not clogging up the main board makes sense. It works for other sub-boards.

i kind of understand that for ile, but why exactly does ilm need to stay "unclogged?"
