I love Persecution Mania. Kind of marked the switch from the evil-and-magic to the war-obsessed period of their lyrics and imagery. One of my favorite bass sounds on that one.

For the other fans of German threshing machine Beyond, here's some recent live footage:http://youtu.be/1SKEODb3m4U
iPhone audio quality notwithstanding, the cameraperson did a phenomenal job of shooting this thing. Just the right amount of movement, lots of perfectly framed shots of the entire band, crowd pans (I see the American crowd apathy has finally hit Germany), overall high video quality. And really, Beyond's gonna sound the same whether they're coming out of a clock radio or a multi thousand dollar system.

Argh it cuts off during "Merciless at Heart."
Also, having wised up and plugged in my external speakers, this sound quality is better than I'd thought. Works really well for this kind of music.

Id like to see album sales for the mid to large metal bands the past decade. I dunno why but I'm thinking the "big" bands most recent albums haven't sold as well as previous ones?

A few years ago in the queue for Supersonic the guys I was talking to asked the question "have Napalm Death" sold a million records. We decided they must have, but had no idea when.

Finally got round to listening to the Morbus Chron record which I was really enjoying til I picked up on a crazy high pitched pre-ringing on the cymbals. I'll probably never be able to listen to it again now. :/

Where does KK Null go in your guys collections? I am going with N but I can be persuaded the other direction...

I vote N.
I file Alice Cooper under C, even though I only own the Alice Cooper band cds and not any later solo Alice stuff besides what's on the box set.

Yesterday was supposed to be the release of Entombed - Back To The Front on Century Media. No mention of it anywhere other than Amazon, including the Century Media site. Google shows something about the band splitting into two. Did the label drop them? Nice cover art - http://www.nocleansinging.com/2013/11/11/entombed-vulture-and-the-traitor/

I was not impressed by what I heard of the Nux Vomica.
― Des Esseintes in Walmart (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Thursday, 3 April 2014 18:59 (ten years ago) link
i have a weird head cold, i can't hear the bass in anything
the really agitated part is more compelling
but basically long postrock arc structures are i dunno, the lowest form of longform musical organization (nb this leaves 'just one thing after another' in a more exalted position as far as structures go)
― j., Thursday, 3 April 2014 19:02 (ten years ago) link
yes the Nux Vomica is cool.. I thought it would sound different than they described it, buy yet that description is still fitting. otm on the long structures.. it does seem long for longness sake.
― SeanWayne, Thursday, 3 April 2014 19:12 (ten years ago) link
i am like allergic to long post-rocky structures and i am really digging this record, idk

Haven't gotten through it yet. First four or five tracks sound like an Eyehategod record, more Confederacy than Dopesick.

I think I'm going to have to check it out again in a bit! Maybe I was expecting something different, more Hellshock-y or something.
― Des Esseintes in Walmart (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Sunday, 6 April 2014 00:39 (ten years ago) link
it's got several styles and I can see how a person - including me when I'm feeling purist - might be, like, pick a lane and drive in it. but I find it such a good listen - the riffing's solid, the vibe's good, and like I say that bassist kicks ass. it reminds me some of Rwake, who I was fond of for a couple of albums but lost track of. it is pretty long-song-post-rock that wouldn't bear much formal analysis though i.e. it's kinda jammy-but-disciplined. but I'm listening again now and I think it's just a terrific ride, really goes places - I plan on listening to it in the dark when I get a chance
― Now I Am Become Dracula (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Sunday, 6 April 2014 01:03 (ten years ago) link
I wasn't super into what I'd heard either but the rwake comparison makes me want to try again. I think I may just be a little burned out on this type of sound tho.

yeah the developments in the individual nux vomica tracks sound very natural to me, not the arbitrary post-rocky build and/or recede. "really goes places," aero otm
