Rolling Metal Thread 2012

but yeah hes a kid. but sean is trying. no point in putting mercyful fate or judas priest on, he hates high pitched screams. He prefers five finger death punch and avenged sevenfold.

if anyones around, what recent stuff would you guys recommend to him? Obv doom and BM type stuff are out.

he seems to like this Coalesce track. Maybe recommend DEP?

of course, Converge!

he says hes heard some DEP and hes heard of Slayer. Anything else kinda popular and importantly recent?

oh he's heard of Leviathan and likes a few songs. wasn't expecting that. Phil/Smithy/Adrien you guys around?

I am so fucking confused by what just happened.

oh nevermind.

http://open.soundrop.fm/s/VjWCayQ8GaB04GHI if you really want to know. its the metal room on spotify. come add some stuff

Oh I thought you were like liveblogging some kid irl coming into a record store.

we were talking about it upthread and about how the metal we listen to here is very different to kids in the real world.

if you have spotify come in (the kids gone btw)

Someone played this in the room. I feel like i lost 99% of my IQ level after hearing it.

Can any of you watch the whole of that?

No thanks, I used to actually own their first terrible album.

I'm having an exciting evening in which I'm finally realizing just how crushingly brilliant Celtic Frost's Into the Pandemonium is.

lol

Working on a review of the new Terrorizer for BurningAmbulance.com. How much you like it will depend entirely on how much you like Resistant Culture, as they're half the band now (vocalist Anthony Rezhawk and guitarist Katina Culture). On the other hand, the rhythm section is Morbid Angel—David Vincent on bass and drummer Pete Sandoval on drums. I think it's a pretty great record, even if it's got basically nothing to do with the group that recorded World Downfall, sonically or lyrically.

I like to imagine the Huntress singer went swimming straight after the camera went click

ok im beginning to like some of the classic old skool DM, stuff i never liked at the time but somehow sounds great now (just like what happened to me 7 or 8 years ago with some BM). The stuff that just doesnt just go wwwwwwaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhhh anyway. The vox aren't as bad as i remembered. Even obituary - slowly we rot vox are fine. Oh well its great, lotsa good stuff to check out !

i always liked entombed as you guys know, so finding vox like that seems to be the key. Also, its not too extreme y'know?

not to keen on deicide or most gothenburg stuff btw. I do like Death,Obituary, Atheist,Cynic stuff like that. Infact think i'll start a thread asking for some recommendations

You need to check out some early Autopsy dude. Severed Survival/Mental Funeral especially. I really liked the weird pre-blastbeats period where death metal had some doom elements added in.

also xp: Figured she was going to Comic Con as Vampirella.

oh yeah i like the autopsy i heard.

please post your recs here
Recommend 100 Old Skool DM or Tech-DM for ilxors wanting to discover the classics

the doom elements are obviously welcome!

Has anyone else been listening to this remastered Diamond Head album? It's amazing!
http://open.spotify.com/album/5Zf6AmEtLYps5wwkhtjGV7

sadly, not available in the States.

ah sorry. My first listen to this record, it's really excellent.

interestingly reminding me of Zeppelin, vocally at least.

The record is great and would love to hear a decent remaster. Glad you're enjoying!

have to admit the Onion AV Club's rather good article on NWOBHM prompted me to look for it:

Next up: Angel Witch!

I'd love to discover those bands anew! Enjoy Angel Witch too.

Fuck, I'm really into this new Spawn of Possession album. As much as I've loved the Obscura stuff of late, I think this one totally raises the tech-death bar.

World renowned hard rock band High On Fire will release its new studio album De Vermis Mysteriis on April 3 via eOne Music. Recorded in Salem, Massachusetts' GodCity studios with producer and Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou, the 10 song effort -- touted as "direct, eye-opening and powerfully supernatural" -- is the band's sixth studio recording and the follow up to 2010's Snakes for the Divine which debuted at #62 on the Billboard Top 200 and has been called "wonderful" by The New York Times and "an exhilarating rush" by The Chicago Tribune.

De Vermis Mysteriis (or "Mysteries of the Worm") takes its title from a fictional grimoire created by Psycho author Robert Bloch and incorporated by H. P. Lovecraft into the lore of the Cthulhu Mythos (Lovecraft mentioned De Vermis Mysteriis as one of the books that "repeat the most hellish secrets learnt by early man"). The album carries a deeply mystical undercurrent, incorporating fantastical themes and lyrics detailing, among other things, time travel, a serum called liao that is made out of a black lotus and "a Jesus twin who can see the past through his ancestors' eyes." And that's just scratching the surface!

Musically, De Vermis Mysteriis is absolutely explosive, showcasing the California power trio's thundering roar and expanded harmonic and rhythmic palettes while the songs move confidently through multiple riffs and movements. High On Fire construct tough, burly stoner metal that is at once devastatingly epic and mercilessly metallic as superstar guitarist Matt Pike's sizzling ax and avenging-angel riffs fuse with Des Kensel's double-kick-drum onslaught and Jeff Matz's concrete crushing, Burton-esque bass guitar. Over the course of forty-five minutes, High On Fire have created an amalgamation of fantastical lyrical ideas and brute force musicianship anchored in an endlessly captivating, punkishly frantic sound. Simply put, the band generates awesome on demand and has a virtual chokehold on monolithic-sounding, masterfully crafted epic music. High On Fire is a savage bull in the china shop of modern metal.

When asked for comment on De Vermis Mysteriis, Pike somewhat cryptically replied, "Prepare for your dark journey."

The track listing for High On Fire's De Vermis Mysteriis is as follows:

01. Serums of Liao
02. Bloody Knuckles
03. Fertile Green
04. Madness of an Architect
05. Interlude
06. Spiritual Rites
07. King of Days
08. De Vermis Mysteriis
09. Romulus and Remus
10. Warhorn

aw yeah

there's some talk about in the High On Fire thread.

that's pretty hideous but these guys always bring it, so whatever

i thought the last one was basically unlistenable from a recording standpoint so hopefully ballou does right by them.

03. Fertile Green

man i hate it when metal tracks start with acoustic intros and shit

so hopefully that one is about weed

i thought the last one was basically unlistenable from a recording standpoint so hopefully ballou does right by them.

― call all destroyer

I agree whole-heartedly. Though after seeing them live I don't know if I give a rat's ace anymore.

not good live?

i saw 'em in '05 and they shredded but that was a while ago now

They were crushingly good live; tight and powerful and mixed wonderfully (unlike the last record).

My problem was that Matt was calling out to the meatheads to get more violent and get a real pit going in a relatively small crowd. Egging on the worst part of the crowd when most everyone was into it and head-banging and listening and singing along rubbed me the wrong way. He got his wish, and the lunkheads who had skipped the two opening bands gamely started charging into people and swinging their arms like truncheons.

At which point I ducked to the back, waited for the break between songs when things might calm down a bit, but Matt said, "that's more like it!" or something to that effect and I left shaking my head.

ugh

It appears we talked about it on Rolling Metal 2010.

hahaha -- i was going to say "ugh dnw" but apparently i said that a year and a half ago

i'm relatively little and i got bumped around at the eyehategod show i went to earlier this year. it sucked.

It was a good discussion overall. I thought about it the other day because Adrien tweeted this link:

Death To Mosh Pits!

I've never seen this karate moshing thing IRL, I don't think we have it here. I just think of that jpg with the gurning woman that was always on the Noize Borad.

moshing here = pogoing tho ocassionally you do get small pits

Guys this Spawn of Possession is really good.

the new christian mistress makes me feel like beavis and/or butthead every time a riff locks in for more than, like, one bar
