any other death heads?

MERGING TO DEATH HEADS THREAD:

I'm enjoying it as well.....just transferred some songs of theirs to my iPod.

[Bartender]

Which Amon Amarth album would you lovely people recommend for someone trying to get into the band?

[ThrashMaster27]

Which Amon Amarth album would you lovely people recommend for someone trying to get into the band?

I've only heard Versus The World and Once Sent From The Golden Hall.....so I can't really make a best album case.

I will say this though.....both are top class :thumb:

But I expect the Amon Amarth dude will have his say soon enough.

[HappyMarshmellow]

Amon Amarth kicks *** in general, just pick a name you like.

[AmonAmarth]

Once Sent From The Golden Halls, and The Avenger are good... though, don't buy The Crusher it was terribley dissapointing.

[DestroyerChris]

any amon amarth cd. they're all really good. versus the world is a bit different from the rest due to a change in recording studios and the pace is slower than the previous, but it's one of their heaviest cds. the crusher has some really punishing songs, a few that come to mind are the sound of eight hooves and releasing of surtur's fire. the avenger is filled with adrenaline pumping, pride inducing songs, such as the last with pagan blood, god his son and holy whore, and metalwrath. once sent from the golden halls is filled with amon amarth classics, such as victorious march and friends of the suncross. my advice? get 'em all!

[HappyMarshmellow]

Gotta love proud viking metal

[Hey Kid! Im A Computer!]

Yo Every one im pretty new here, since im into Death metal more then anything i figured i would post here, ive recently been jamming to the stylings of Nile, Cannibal, Deeds of Flesh, Disgorge, and **** and Ball Torture.

oh and im looking for a good replacement for the V8 bridge pickup in my Rg, any recomendations? something passive i dont have cash for emgs and i dont have a tube amp anyways.

[Terminal Spirit]

For death metal, and metal in general, DeMarzios are a good bet. Almost all passive too.

[Hey Kid! Im A Computer!]

Well, Death Metal is a pretty broad spec. For leads, the Dimarzio X2N sounds spectacular. The Chopper and Blaze are both great for rhythm. But remember, it's the pedal that makes the DM tone, and not the pick-ups. They merely help. That pedal being the DOD death metal distortion pedal. The Boss Metal Zone 2 also suffices.

[ninjamonkey]

hey guys check this out
http://inm.necrobation.org
its some really funny stuff. i dont think the band is serious. and the forums are laugh out loud funny.
i guess they are making fun of black metal. dont take it to seriously. i like black metal but still think this stuff is funny.

dude, i think both those pedals suck. if you can find a zoom tri-metal get that. i fnot, get an amp with a nice distortion.

[Ve Das]

Has anybody here ever heard a song called "Where Cold Winds Blow"? It doesn't have the best quality and it's about 7-8 minutes long. There's no decipherable words for the most part. Just a lot of "AAAHHHH!!" I downloaded it a while ago and I don't know what band it's by and would like to know so I can get some more by this band. Any help would be appreciated.

Johnny Cash ;)

[Toozey]

Thanks...its kind of a shame that website is so good, I hate buying things online (as opposed to in a store).

Its a great little webstore, If you order on the monday you'll get it the next day, free delivery. I use it quite alot now.

[Bartender]

Yeah, I liked the bit about free delivery, and its got a good selection...I dunno, I just prefer going into a store and actually buying an album, rather than ordering it. Always just seemed more kind of "real" to me, however strange that sounds..

Whatever, now I've got £200 of cheap CDs to buy, so thanks.

Yeah i got a pretty good distortion worked out, i can suffice with the v8 but its all mids to the point where its rediculous. got some extra cash and i figured i would really like to replace it.

For Death Metal, nothing tops the DOD Death Metal distortion pedal. Take a listen to the godly tone is renders on the Berzerker's first album.

[666DiMe666]

^^ I'm playing through one of them right now. I love this pedal. So much gain it's incredible. What EQ setting would you use for Death Metal playing?

Fool around with it. There are many extremly cool tones for death metal that can be created with it.

For Dark Tranquility I would reccomend The Gallery and Projector(If you like anything off that album). I also like the Of Chaos and Eternal Night EP
For Borkagar I would reccomend The Archaic Course, Borknagar and Olden Domain.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

For dark tranquilty i recomend "Damage Done":thumb:
For borknagar i like "The archaic course" the best.

[LegionsofMarduk]

Id like to enquire into the Baphomet horde...

What bands get you in?
Is it all extreme metal or just Black metal?

Jondur,Toozey,Im looking in your direction...


My avatar was the original "Baphomet Horde" avatar. When I used it, it was not used as a reference to music. Mine isn't even the original Baphomet. The avatar I used is a newer version of Baphomet. It is a symbol. I'm attaching a pic of the deity known as Baphomet. The Baphomet has it's origins far before any of the music we listen to now ever came about. It's true origins are disputed. It wasn't known in Western demonology until the 14th centure when the Knights Templar were accused of worshipping Baphomet. The history of Baphomet is entirely too huge to really give a complete picture in just this post. If you're really interested, there are some good sites out there you can find. Look for keywords such as "Baphomet" (should be obvious), "Goat Of Mendes", "Knights Templar". The most common association today, is (unfortunatly) the symbol in my avatar and the so called "Church Of Satan". Anton LeVay perverted Satanism. He perverted the Baphomet into what most people see it as today. Don't get me started on Anton LeVay. He was a fool. But he is, unfortunatly, what the vast majority of people see as the founder of the "Church Of Satan". Like I said. If you really want to know about Bahpomet, do your homework.

cd's I got for xmas:

Kalmah - Swampsong
Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical - Euphoric Misanthropia (the real cd! Not just mp3's anymore!)
Godsmack - Faceless
Dream Theater - Train Of Thought

NP: Behemoth - Decade Of Therion

edit: uh...what happened to my avatar!? I'll have to reload it. Sometime when MX is a bit faster. And I don't know why the file didn't attach.

[Anti-Bush]

I got Emperors "Scattered Ashes - A Decade of Emperial Wrath" , ANy thought on Emperor?

[LegionsofMarduk]

Emperor is good. In The Nightside Eclipse and Anthems To The Welkins At Dusk are both good albums. They had a lot of influence on black metal.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

That is the single most STUPID thing i've heard this month.
Dimmu Borgir does not come close to being the kings of black metal, and for your information emperor was not the old black metal kings either.

Emperor is a great band, Ihsahn's vocals and guitar work are simply amazing. Anthems to the welkin... and In the nightside eclipse are two of my favorite albums. I haven't heard much off of Equilibrum.

[Bartender]

Who do you consider the old black metal kings then?

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Hmmmm,tough one...
I´ll go with Bathory

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Hmmmm,tough one...

I'd also go with Bathory, Blood Fire Death is an amazing CD.
Celtic Frost also could be up on that list.

[xAzagthothx]

hmm.. old school black metal... uhhh most likely Celtic Frost. thats probably my vote. but for all of black metal ever, ****ing IMMORTAL with a frozen fist. NOTHING will ever top the sheer majesty of their wintery landscapes of firefrostdemon doom.

[Esp Griffyn]

Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical - Euphoric Misanthropia

Best Black metal album ever.

[Toozey]

I just ordered these from Supernal,

The Meads Of Asphodel - Exhuming The Grave Of Yeshua

That album is no fun at all.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

ESP gryffin, That dimmu album is not anywhere near the top of the black metal list...Dimmu borgir isn't even very black metal. THey are more industrial

[JMetallica]

The obvious choice for kings of proper black metal is of course Bathory, although I enjoy Celtic Frost a **** lot more.

On a more deathy note; is Malevolent Creation's 'Retribution' out of print? Because i could have sworn i saw it and predecessor in a local store this morning. (I listened to one of them but forget which one it was, if indeed it was one of those)

Hello :wave:

I'm not a drummer or anything, so I don't know how actually talented any particular drummer is (Ijust know what I like and what I don't), but Cynic in general were just a really talented and technical band (the drummer was Sean Reinert). www.cynicalsphere.com has a good little history of the band, along with some mp3s to check out.

I just placed my first order with Supernal tonight..purpose was a couple of Amon Amarth albums to check out, but I tagged a few more on so Mr.Supernal would get a better deal out of it. At least, thats what I'll tell my mam when I have to borrow money to cover it :-/

I was reading the company history section of the site and rather liked this bit;
"As there was no venture capital involved, the operation was fairly modest in its beginnings. Mr. Kurtagic lived in a cave, and records were kept in encrypted cuneiform on tree leaves hidden inside snake pits."

Made me laugh.

You can talk about black metal. Any form of extreme metal is ok. Black, death, doom...whatever. Just no nu-"metal" crap. And yes, Taake does sound quite familiar. Can't remember what I heard by them though.

Which one should i get?

[Terminal Spirit]

Yes. Yes I have. They are a very great band indeed. For those of you who need informing, Taake are a melodic black metal band with some nice folk influences. Really great riffs, and good clean vocals. Although Host's dani filth-esque vocals can get annoying at times.

Get all the albums, most of them are cheap cause they jsut re-released them.

Faust leaves Dissection:

After a meeting with Jon in Stockholm, Sweden, drummer Bård "Faust" Eithun has explained that he has been tense about what impression the whole deal with Dissection would do to him in practice and that he has come to the conclusion that he can't stand behind and live up to the demands of Dissection's Satanic concept, with the inevitable result that he has to leave the band. A decision Faust and Jon made in mutual agreement after discussing the problem.

Jon gives his statement: "There are only two alternatives for us; doing Dissection wholeheartedly and with complete devotion, or not at all."

Faust further explains the problem of him not being able to stand behind the band's satanic ideology and that it has no practical meaning in his life.
"My relation to Dissection is simply musical", Faust declares. "The problem occurs when the band takes form more as a cult where there are rules for behavious and strict codes." Faust also states that he initially didn't realize how strong the satanic influence on Dissection actually was.

Jon explains that he has tried to be as clear as possible when emphasizing the concept of Dissection to Faust. "Faust should definitely have realized from the start what we were about. Dissection is a satanic band period."

"I don't ask from anyone to be anything else than himself", Jon continues, "but if a member of the band isn't capable of living up to the ideology and giving the band his full and wholehearted dedication, then I see no other option than us going separate ways, really. I can only show Faust my appreciation for being open and honest about it at an early stage, because now we can go on and look for someone who is right for the band before we record our forthcoming album. I further wish Faust the best of luck for the future."

Consequently, Dissection is at the moment without a permanent drummer. Jon concludes: "We are right now looking for someone who is just right for the band, musically and ideologically."

[Terminal Spirit]

I have to say that best folk metal is undoubtedly, Temnozor. I just got Horizons today, and it is spectacular. Every aspect of it is perfect. It even has a flute to carry the melody!

Np: White Thunder Roars by Temnozor

Aye,Temnozer owns :) I´ve found some of the black parts not to be as good as the folk parts,though.It seems folk is what this band really pwns at.

Ok guys, I need some help here.

Faust further explains the problem of him not being able to stand behind the band's satanic ideology and that it has no practical meaning in his life.
"My relation to Dissection is simply musical", Faust declares. "The problem occurs when the band takes form more as a cult where there are rules for behavious and strict codes." Faust also states that he initially didn't realize how strong the satanic influence on Dissection actually was.

Jon explains that he has tried to be as clear as possible when emphasizing the concept of Dissection to Faust. "Faust should definitely have realized from the start what we were about. Dissection is a satanic band period."

"I don't ask from anyone to be anything else than himself", Jon continues, "but if a member of the band isn't capable of living up to the ideology and giving the band his full and wholehearted dedication, then I see no other option than us going separate ways, really. I can only show Faust my appreciation for being open and honest about it at an early stage, because now we can go on and look for someone who is right for the band before we record our forthcoming album. I further wish Faust the best of luck for the future."

Consequently, Dissection is at the moment without a permanent drummer. Jon concludes: "We are right now looking for someone who is just right for the band, musically and ideologically."

Yea, Faust leaving dissection is somewhat older news. I can't wait for dissection to return. By the way i think Faust is drumming for Zyklon now (correct me if i'm wrong here).

[OpiateTheMasses!]

No, you are correct. From one good band to a next.
I am starting to get into Emperor, what would you reccomend for a first album?

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Anthems to the welkin at dusk is my favorite emperor album, In the Nightside eclipse also is very good.

Yeah I just saw it on the Dissection website, less then a month old. Im not up to date with any Metal news not concerning The End Records, so I usually fall behind, but I thought I would make it known since no one in here stated it.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

what was faust arrested for before? i heard he had problems with the law.

[Toozey]

He stabbed a gay man, I think he killed him too.

[Squirrel]

What genre are The Berzerker under - are they like Industrial Death metal or something ?

I'm just recently getting into death metal - started off with Children of Bodom, bit of In Flames, couple of Berzerker songs for the brutal drums :thumb: and in the past 2 days i got some Carcass songs and i love them. ( thanks goes out to Griffyn :) )

Can anyone reccomend some stuff for a newbie death head ? kinda like Carcass; maybe a bit faster and heavier ?

[Toozey]

Hey Legions I have an album you might be interested in, its The Meads of Asphodel - Exhuming The Grave of Yeshua. Its like Mithras - World Beyond The Veil but for Black Metal.

[LegionsofMarduk]

^^^Ok. Next time we're both on Soulseek at the same time I'll grab it.

[xAzagthothx]

Squirrel:

Morbid Angel
Suffocation

Thanks guys i'll check them lot out :thumb:
I never realised how cool death metal was; i've missed out on such good music for so long :(

[Squirrel]

Oh, what kind of music are Goreotted (sp? )

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

He stabbed a gay man, I think he killed him too.

Yeah, Faust owned him. But since he did it in Norway he didnt get that many years in prison. I'm pretty sure the maximum sentence in Norway is like 21 years or something.

[Fimbulwinter]

I didn't know Faust was leaving Dissection. Alas it's a shame. I was really looking forward to see him behind the drums. Oh well.

Squirrel, The Berzerker are often labeled as grindcore. I'm not 100 % sure though.

[Squirrel]

K, thanks Fimbul :)

I've got a few songs by Morbid Angel, Entombed and exhumed and i like them so far :thumb:

Can anyone agree on a band that is like the ULTIMATE in noise - amazingly bad vocals, stupidly low guitar etc... im just interested in seeing what the heaviest of the heaviest is like.

[Terminal Spirit]

Can anyone agree on a band that is like the ULTIMATE in noise - amazingly bad vocals, stupidly low guitar etc... im just interested in seeing what the heaviest of the heaviest is like.

Depends on what your definition of heavy is. It's a very debatable topic, but a few reccomendations would be:
Aborted
Cinerary
Cumchrist
Internal Suffering
Disgorge(mex)
Disgorge(Cal)

[xAzagthothx]

noise? perhaps Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, or Agoraphobic Nosebleed.

heaviest? Suffocation in my opinion... or Devourment.

[Squirrel]

Cheers, i was just interested in what kind of extremeties music was made to nowadays.

I'll check them out.

Btw can anyone recommend any really good Carcass songs; i have heartwork and a couple of others so far and i like them, any others i jsut specificaly get ?

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

The berzeker-Grindcore

[NarMattaru]

What do you guys think of morbid angels latest release, is it any good?

[Toozey]

Heretic is meh...Nothing really exciting and the Drum check messes it up.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Heretic is not their best work, not even close.

[Toozey]

I prefer Formulas over everything else, I dont know why. Altars and Blessed are classics none the less.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Altars of Madness is my favorite Morbid.

[Fimbulwinter]

The artist that makes the ultimate noise? Easy -- Sean Paul, Beyoncé, Westlife etc etc. The list is nearly endless.

[Squirrel]

:lol:

*secret bump*

[Vortigon]

Has anyone here heard of/heard Vinterriket? From what I've heard I'm enjoying them a lot, as I love dark ambient stuff, gives me the same atmospheric mood as a lot of older black metal. Another thing I've been listening to that is very atmospheric, and quite excellent, is Ulver's "Kveldssanger" album.
Now, as neither of those things are extreme metal really, I should get on topic, and proclaim my enjoyment of the latest Necrophagia album, "The Divine Art of Torture". It's the first with Frediablo on guitar, and I'm a big fan of most of his work. I'm also looking forward to the next Necrophagia album, "Goblins Be Thine", which is coming out soonish.

NP: Akercocke - The Serpent

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Vortigon, i highly recomend Ulver's "nattens madrigel" i have it and i love it, but you have to get used to the sound quality. It makes Darkthrone and Enslaved look Good.

[Fimbulwinter]

Per Ardua, that's "Nattens Madrigal" and the sound quality on that album is very good. It's very well produced actually. Just very high-pitched.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Madrigel, Madrigal...i'm not one to spell. On the sound quality, you think that it's good...You can't even hear the drums and you can barely hear Garm. Either way though it's a good album.

[Bartender]

I prefer Formulas over everything else, I dont know why. Altars and Blessed are classics none the less.

I just recently got Formulas, and its overtaken Covenant as my favourite Morbid Angel album. But does anyone know, what is the language thats used in a lot of the Formula tracks? And which gods/whatever the lyrics refer to?

They could be totally obvious questions; I'm not too hot on Morbid Angel trivia, just like the music.

[TremorChrist94]

Cheers, i was just interested in what kind of extremeties music was made to nowadays.

I'll check them out.

Btw can anyone recommend any really good Carcass songs; i have heartwork and a couple of others so far and i like them, any others i jsut specificaly get ?

Corporal Jigsore Quandary
Exhume to Consume
Buried Dreams
Reek of Putrefaction
Pedigree Butchery

those should get you started...a little bit of everything from Carcass, then buy the albums already!

[Fimbulwinter]

Madrigel, Madrigal...i'm not one to spell. On the sound quality, you think that it's good...You can't even hear the drums and you can barely hear Garm. Either way though it's a good album.
I'm just teasing ya mate. Of course I can't know exactly how they recorded it and so forth but I really belive that is a very well produced album. Compare it to Transylvanian Hunger (CD not the ****ty mp3). That's recorded with a 4-track mixer. You can really hear it's cold, raw and haunting sound while on Nattens Madrigal it's this high-pitched beautiful raw sound. Perhaps the cd and mp3 versions vary a bit on that matter. But I'm still with the latter theory -- well produced rather than recorded in the middle of the night in a forest in Norway. :p

[Black Mage Carcass]

But does anyone know, what is the language thats used in a lot of the Formula tracks? And which gods/whatever the lyrics refer to?

The language, good sir, is Sumerian. I have no idea about anything about it apart from the name. Check with Greg, he's the worlds biggest Trey fan so he should know.

[Squirrel]

Yes, Nattens Madrigal :p isn't the worst sound quality out there. I mean nothing can really compare to the n3cron3ss of a 4-track mixer, but the cold, chilling sound on transylvanian hunger creates somewhat of an atmosphere that i am fond off. Nattens Madrigal may not be the best, but it is certainly not the worst.

[Fimbulwinter]

The language, good sir, is Sumerian. I have no idea about anything about it apart from the name. Check with Greg, he's the worlds biggest Trey fan so he should know.
Sumerian was spoken by the Sumerians, the people of Sumer, makes sense eh? Sumer was one of the largest and earliest river culture. Based around Tigris and Eufrat (That is modern Iraq). The culture reigned from pre-historical time somewhere around 2.000BC. First settlers are belived to date back to 5.900BC. Their language was of course Sumerian. The Sumeran culture was also "well" developed, writing, organised religion etc, they even had artificial watering! If you really want to know more lemme know. This isn't the real thread to discuss history. :)

Oh yeah, Per Adua you're quite correct about Transilvanian Hunger. The atmosphere on that album is one of the best (or shall I say worst?) I know of. It's one of my personal favorites as well. You never could guess THAT, could you?

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Transilvanian Hunger...favorite...what? I never EVER would have guessed.

[xAzagthothx]

ah yes... finally a chance to spill my geekoid wealth of uselesss Morbid Angel trivia knowledge. haha

first off, Formulas is the death metal record. like... the universe bows before the altar of this cd. It is simply beyond sane humanity.

Secondly, yes, it is Sumerian. The sumerian connection with Morbid Angel is quite involved, but ill try to sum it up best i can.

Alright, it all begins with a little author named HP Lovecraft who wrote horror/dream/fantasy tales about a mystical pantheon of gods. the head of this was Cthulhu, a name which comes directly from Sumerian. In fact, much of Lovecrafts deity stuff is taken as a direct influence from Sumerian. Now, HP Lovecraft invented the Necronomicon, which was written by the mad arab Abdul Al-hazred. combining Al-hazred being arab and the Necronomicon being the wealthiest vat of ancient demonology and witchcraft, everything points to Sumer because Sumer was the most ancient civilization that was really worth a ****.

Morbid Angel, along with many other early metal bands, focused songs around Lovecrafts inventions... whether it be his certain gods or actual story lines. Trey read the Necronomicon much in his youth, and branched into the Lovecraft part of it and the actual Sumerian part of it.

so formulas is pretty much based around stuff like that....in terms of foreign language. dont even get started on the stuff behind that albums "concept" because it will take days to adequately explain.

in short:

Formulas = Cutha hymns revolving around Sumerian/Lovecraftian mythology + the concept of the limitless potential/ability of the individual and that the individual is that persons own god.


Formulas is the ****. I've melted away into the delirium of sleeping pills and Tylenol PM, because it aids in sleep and gives me crazy intense dreams... but yeah, i hope that explained your question a bit.

Morbid Angel is not for the feeble-minded....

[Jondur]

Oh, what kind of music are Gorerotted (sp? )

Death metal. With some gore and grind bits but by and large it's death metal. Good stuff - their new one ain't rocket science but it's good.

Heh,I got an Elvis and a Rolling Stones best of...

[Toozey]

Slayer: Soundtrack to the Apocalypse


I had this on my list but my parents couldn't find it. Any idea where you got it from?

[Jondur]

I'm assuming that because it was my parents who got it me, it was purchased from HMV - they can't work t'internet!

To be honest it isn't that great. The first two discs are a poor greatest hits from the Rubin years (ie Reign in Blood onwards), the third disc has got some good stuff, the dvd is a bit dissappointing - I would have like to see some of the old promo vids etc rather than endless Seasons tour footage.

Now the Candlemass DVD.......

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Nothing says christmas like Slayer and Venom.

[Gregathol]

Deicide is goood....Best of cd!! Keep an eye out for a band called "Bloodstruck" coming out of massachusetts. They are quite a good band. http://www.bloodstruck.cjb.net/ You can hear some of their stuff there...horrible quality but worth a click.

[Fimbulwinter]

Eeeek! Dimmu Börgir as influences!

what else are some good death metal bands, that are less brutal than that of cannibal corpse that i would enjoy?

I would suggest At The Gates. Greatest melodic death band ever.
Start with anything of the album "Slaughter Of The Soul ".

[Jondur]

I just bought Metal Hammer at lunch. Now before you faint and then call me false metal I'll tell you why. It came with a free CD of bands whose singers were featured on Dave Grohl's Probot project. Check this for a track listing!!

Probot: Red War (featuring Max Cavalera)
Motorhead: Bomber
Venom: Black Metal
Sepultura: Arise
Cathedral: Vampire Sun
Trouble: The Skull \m/
The Obsessed: Iron and Stone
Celtic Frost: Procreation of the Wicked
Corrosion of Conformity: Hungry Child
Napalm Death: Dead (all 3 seconds of it!)
Voivod: Thrashing Rage
DRI: Couch Slouch
Mercyful Fate: A Corpse without a Skull

Classy stuff! And in spite of the fact that I think Max is a tit the song "Red War" is ace and he does a great job! this is an album I can't wait to hear!!!!!

[Fimbulwinter]

Hmm, what's Probot mate? 'cause that list surely is impressive.

[Black Mage Carcass]

Hmm, what's Probot mate? 'cause that list surely is impressive.

'Tis Dave Grohl's other project. He's roped in loads of names who are pretty big in classic extreme metal, like Cronos, Tom G. Warrior, Lee Dorrian (sp?), Max Cavalera and King Diamond to name a few.

I agree, Jon. Red War is an ace song. I always knew Dave was wasted on Nirvana and Foo Fighters, hopefully this makes him want to do more metal stuff in the future.

[LegionsofMarduk]

HUH!? Dave Grohl+metal!? whoa...I may have to check this out.

NP: Craft - World Of Plague

[Jondur]

The guy is totally metal. I've heard him talk about Celtic Frost and Napalm Death quite a bit and he was even going to play drums in Nailbomb at one point. but I never expected Probot to be THIS good! I cannot wait to hear the rest of it!

NP Probot: Red War

[Toozey]

I'm going to download me some Probot.

[AmonAmarth]

Me too.

[Ve Das]

me three.Foo Fighters live are pretty dämn rockin as well. :)

It was good music, but I just wasn't into that metal-kind.

[Toozey]

I didn't like Red War.

[Fimbulwinter]

Blimey, it looks like I've to check it out.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Hmmm Dave Grohl...Metal...What?

Though that is an excellent track listing :thumb:

[xAzagthothx]

Probot sounds awesome, I'm looking forward to hearing it:)

Ok, this is my first foray into the death-metal thread, and I'm a little nervous. I'm wanting to get into some death-metal, but the heaviest thing I've ever heard is the new Dream Theater album:upset:I'm thinking of getting into Opeth, because I love ****ation. What should I listen to, being somewhat new to this mysterious genre?

[BuddyBigsby]

I need some help sirs, perhaps you can help me. I'm just staring to get into Kataklysm and Sodom, what CD's would be good to start out with from both?

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Kaden, try some melodic death with At the Gates, Children of Bodom, and In Flames.
As for albums of those bands you should get...
At the gates-Slaughter of the soul
Children of Bodom-Follow the Reaper
In Flames-Lunar Strain (but they are all good except reroute to remain)

That should hold you over for awhile. :thumb:

[Terminal Spirit]

To me, it's mild Extreme Metal.

[Jondur]

I can imagine each track will be very different. Dave wrote each track with a singer in mind so I imagine the Eric Wagner track will be very different than the Cronos track.

I thought red War was ace (minus the irritating spoken word bit) but was mainly excited because if that is what the irritating, Korn-obssessed Max can come up with imagine what Tom G Warrior will do!!

[Ve Das]

@Kaden:
N00b,aye?
Get:
Arch Enemy-Black Earth
Carcass-Wake Up And Smell The Carcass
Death-Human/Individual Thought Patterns
Krisiun-any album(no drastic changes in style there)

[LegionsofMarduk]

hmmm...I must have downloaded some cack files. I downloaded a few Probot tracks last night but they were some crap techno.

[Jondur]

Go to http://www.southernlord.com/lord1.htm click on probot and you can hear samples from the tracks featuring Cronos, Eric Wagner, Wino and Lee Dorrian. Really this stuff is soooooo good! It helps if you're into doom as the Lee Dorrian track is amazing - the best thing he's done since Forests..

The Cronos track kicks major derriere too!

I'm going to stop going on about Probot now... honest!

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Yea, check out Krisiun they are quite good. And Kaden i know you like DT so you would like Krisiun because they have a tendencie to break out quite the solo.

I've been looking for Cynic's Focus for so long. I haven't been able to find it anywhere. Until, last week I strolled into a cd store on a backstreet in Jerusalem in Israel and I found it. It's so great

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Focus is a great CD. I would call it one of the death metal classics.

I'm listening to Probot finally. Not too shabby. Only heard a few seconds, but it sounds decent. Probably one of those albums I'll download first though instead of buying right away.

[BC Rich Man66]

Cannibal Corpse - Vile
Cannibal Corpse - The Bleeding
Hypocrisy - The Fourth Dimension
Bloodbath - Resurrection Through Carnage
Opeth - Still Life
Dying Fetus - Stop At Nothing
Cephalic Carnage - Lucid Interval
Morbid Angel - Gateways To Annihilation

AWESOME ****!!!!!

[Jondur]

You managed to find focus in Jerusalem when most people in the UK and US can;t find it! It's a mad, mad world....

Anyone heard Acid Death? They're a great prog death band from Greece. I'm listening to Random's Manifest now and although it's not quite as good as their debut "Pieces of Mankind" it's still ace. The Dream Theater of death metal!

[Toozey]

I jsut ordered Lipid - Hagridden, this band has some awesome Death/Thrash grooves going on and My Dying Bride - For Darkest Eyes, not too sure what songs they play live on the DVD though.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

How is My dying bride? I've seen them alot but never actually bought there CD.

[Esp Griffyn]

Cannibals Corpse-Vile/Gore Obsessed=great albums

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

No, Cannibal Corpse isn't my cup o' tea.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

How is My dying bride? I've seen them alot but never actually bought there CD.

I like them alot. i own "turn loose the swans" and "the dreadful hour" (this one i enjoy more) and i would say they are one of the easier doom metal bands to get into, at least they were for me. check out the song "raven and the rose" for a good idea of their sound.

[Toozey]

Turn Loose The Swans is a classic. Although I its a very different sound for them I really like the album "34.788%...Complete", Heroin Chic has the most amazing lyrics ever.

[Fimbulwinter]

How many of you fellas have ever heard of Tormentor? No, not the early incarnation of Kreator. Right now I'm enjoying their master-piece 'Anno Domini'. Get it, if you can!

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

I love Tormentor, Are they the band that did the original song "elizabeth Bathori"?

[Lefty]

My Dying Bride are confirmed for the Inferno Festival in Oslo Norway this easter! My 3-day pass is allready safely placed in my wallet. The 4 confirmed bands(The whole line-up will be revealed in the end of January) Decapitated, Mayhem, My Dying Bride, and Grimfist! 3 excellent bands allready!

[Jondur]

Decapitated, Mayhem, My Dying Bride, and Grimfist! 3 excellent bands allready!

Either you can't count or you don't rate one of those bands..... Personally I don't rate two and one only released one good album and a 7".

ps Turn Loose the Swans is a classic album. I also love Like Gods of the Sun. But by far the best thing they ever did is Thrash of Naked Limbs.

Did my first gig with The River last night. Twas pretty good in spite of a naff drum kit that moved across the stage. When will people learn to bring carpet?!! But we got a good response and played ok - only a few mistakes which can be ironed out with a few more gigs. Someone taped it so if it's good enough quality we might put it out as a split live bootleg with the other band, Cambian Dawn.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Turn Loose The Swans is a classic. Although I its a very different sound for them I really like the album "34.788%...Complete", Heroin Chic has the most amazing lyrics ever.

id like to get that album, ill add it to my list. and i do aggree that turn loose the swans is a smashing album, aside from the dreadful hours (that and swans...i already have) what album of theris would you reccomend after i ger "34.788...."?

[Jondur]

Like Gods of the Sun. Then The Angel and The Dark River.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^^^

i got it written down, and by the way i got the first candlemass album in the mail the other day...preety good stuff :thumb: i guess i still like ancient dreams better because im more famalier with it, but ill let ya know.

Anyway what do you guys think of it.
(the only cc album i dont have is gored obsessed.)

[LegionsofMarduk]

I like Cannibal Corpse a bit, but not enough to spend the money on the boxed set.

Jon-Congrats on a decent first gig with the new band. If you do turn it into a split, where would someone in say...here in the states be able to get a copy!? hint hint:p

I got a Panzerchrist album, and I really like it? Does anyone else like them?

[Vortigon]

^^ Manny rocks, he is most definitely the man.

I haven't heard Panzerchrist, what are they like?
While I'm thinking of Panzers, does anyone know anything about Peter from Vader's side project, Panzer X. I've heard some stuff about them recording an album soon, but information is very vague.

[Vortigon]

I just downloaded the title track off Deicide's upcoming album "Scars Of The Crucifix", from the Earache website, and it sounded very strange. I mean, you can still tell it's Deicide, but mainly from Glen's growling. Apart from that, it looks like they've taken quite a different direction. I'm not sure if I like it or not yet, see what you all think.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

You are right, it is quite different to me. I give it a meh.

Deicide is so gay... i really dont like them. After seeing them live.... bla. all we got was Glen's HUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHUHGHHHHGGGGGGGGGH HHHHGHRGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGH HHHHHHHH in between every word he tried saying. it was pretty retarded. plus they sounded crappy.

[+mekava+]

you people have all heard Opening Of The Gates by Morbid, and the double bass on that is pretty ****ing fast! Does anyone know any faster songs by morbid or anyother band??

[kerloom]

I got a qustiton.. Is Tiamat Clasified as DM??... I think its is too light.. but maybe it can be

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Mekeva, Listen to Vital Remains. It is much faster than morbid angel.

On another note, i bought Vintersorg-Cosmic Genesis today. I love this CD, anyone else like Vintersorg?

[ninjamonkey]

but vital remains drums have lesser sound quality.;)

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Still, if you listen to Vital Remain's drumming, it is amazing.

[ninjamonkey]

yes it is. vital remains is incredible.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Yes, they are. I recently bought "Dechristianize" and it is owning my life right now.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

I got a qustiton.. Is Tiamat Clasified as DM??... I think its is too light.. but maybe it can be

Tiamat was death, with the releases of Sumerian City and Clouds and that such. But around Wildhoney, Skeleton Skeletron and the likes, it is now usually considered goth rock.

I love 'em. When I was in Skellefteå last year I found "Hedniskhjärtad" in a shop there. I listened to it almost constantly for six months. A few months a go I found a live CD (bootleg anyone?) from 2002 on a P2P-program. I got it and absolutly adore it. The live version of "Till Fjälls" is awsome!

[Toozey]

To anyone who cares the new My dying Bride album has leaked...

[Lefty]

Either you can't count or you don't rate one of those bands..... Personally I don't rate two and one only released one good album and a 7".



I didn't rate new Mayhem because I don't like 'em.

[Lefty]

Mekeva, Listen to Vital Remains. It is much faster than morbid angel.

On another note, i bought Vintersorg-Cosmic Genesis today. I love this CD, anyone else like Vintersorg?

Vintersorg is good, especially his newer stuff like Cosmic Genesis and VFTSG. The new album looks promising too. Download a sample from www.vintersorg.com

[AmonAmarth]

I hate back-orders :(

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

I also hate backorders.

[AmonAmarth]

Anyone know where I can get some of Nest early works? I've been trying to find them, but alas no prevail.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

If you have a CD store near you (a privately owned CD store, not like Sam goody or best buy), you might be able to special order them. I do this all the time with a nearby Metal store.

[AmonAmarth]

I dont :) Hence the problem

[Jondur]

I just downloaded the title track off Deicide's upcoming album "Scars Of The Crucifix", from the Earache website, and it sounded very strange. I mean, you can still tell it's Deicide, but mainly from Glen's growling. Apart from that, it looks like they've taken quite a different direction. I'm not sure if I like it or not yet, see what you all think.

I am reliably informed that the new album is going to absolutely destroy. Personally I can't say I've rated them since the first album (although Legion, Once upon the Cross and Serpents of the Light had their moments) but as that album is one of the greatest death metal albums ever....

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Does anybody have Enslaved's "Mardraum: beyond the within." I am thinking about buying but i want to get a review first.

[AmonAmarth]

I think they have some reviews at TheEndRecords.com

[xAzagthothx]

oh man... the Morbid Angel/Suffocation US tour is coming to my town YAAAAAAAAAY this is soooo cool.


sorry for the lack of me being here people... been busy with some real life stuff for once. haha. my college music audition is this saturday, im putting on a massive show here with Locked In A Vacancy headlining.

we'll be debuting a new song at this gig too. its super amazingmetal x 1989. mega double bass. its aptly called "Call of the Ghoul" hehe... so metal.

[AmonAmarth]

But does it have uber DM Vocals like you hear in Vehemence and Morbid Angel?

[Ramsey]

*opens thread door*

Whoa! i haven't been here in a while! lol, watsup guys?

Anyways, anyone hear a band called Trivium? I'd say its a good mix between the new machinehead cd and death metal :)

Great band, give them a listen

[Nintendophiliac]

Chimairas back!
Ive heard Trivium, pretty good. Kinda remind me of Biolich

[Ramsey]

:lol: thanks billy! i won't be on for long, my net connection can't seem to get me on mx :confused:, i'm using my schools connection. Anyways, its good to be back. :)

[Terminal Spirit]

Chimairas back!
Kinda remind me of Biolich

GODS! They're playing the MDFest this year too.

[MAGGOT-666]

Holy ****. 100 dollars? Wow.

YEah i had to get it sent over from america :upset:

[Jondur]

its aptly called "Call of the Ghoul" hehe... so metal.

One of the best song titles I've ever seen is "Wail of the Banshee" by Shadowbreed! Quality viking death metal a la Unleashed too. I wonder if they're still going?.....

[Fimbulwinter]

Hey Azagoth, do you have a CD/Demo out?

[LegionsofMarduk]

Since he's not around too often anymore, I'll answer. Yes he does. His bands name is Angeldeath and their demo is called Screams From Beyond. Their website is http://www.Angeldeath.net. speaking of...

NP: Angeldeath - Spires Of Inferno

[Fimbulwinter]

Thanks mate.

[Suffering Dead]

Can anyone reccommend me some Death with "softer" vocals?

IE Opeth being too brutal for me personally, In Flames being fine.
i realise this is an old post by you rockergav, but check out my dying bride also if you haven't already

[NarMattaru]

Where can i find dates for the morbid angel/suffocation tour? thanks

[Nintendophiliac]

GODS! They're playing the MDFest this year too.

Biolich? Really? When and where please?

[xAzagthothx]

the MA tour is coming to albany...hehehe

yeah guys... it sucks... but im so swamped now that i hardly have time to get online other than to do band business ****.

but yeah, we do have an EP out. this summer... were actually going into a REAL studio to do a 3 or 4 song GOOD professional EP, spending like a full day per song. were bringing in a producer 'n **** too. itll be hot.

also, im working on dates across the northeast this spring/summer with the mighty BETHLEDEIGN. ill keep you guys posted on this stuff.

hey... even though i may not be here much often anymore, i am far from dead. bwaahahaha

[AmonAmarth]

You're gigging with Bethledeign? That's ****ing elite.

[ninjamonkey]

what does it mean when an album is said to be leaked?
like put on a filesharing network before its even supposed to be out on cd?

[LegionsofMarduk]

Greg that's ****ing awesome man! Bethledeign is really good. Hey did you ever get a hold of any of the places around here? Or are any midwest gigs on hold for now?

And yes ninja. When an album gets leaked, it's getting put out on the net before it's released.

[oblin]

i heard good things about immolation,what do they sound like and what would be the best cd by them to get? im into cryptopsy, cannibal copse, morbid angel, origin,

[Nintendophiliac]

I fend them quite meh. I kinda think they sound like Morbid Angel and old Arise, Beneath The Remians Sepultura. I would start off with Failures for Gods.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

i have Unholy Cult, not the best cd...kind of muddy sounding and less enjoyable than alot of death metal bands IMO.

[Jondur]

Immolation "Dawn of Possession" one of the top ten death metal albums ever released. Pure brutal majesty!

[Vortigon]

I just downloaded another preview mp3 from Earache's site, this time Decapitated's "The Fury" off the upcoming "The Negation". It's supremely fast, technical, and br00tal. I love it. Decapitated are such an excellent band, pity they lack a bit of variety, but you never know, the new album may change that.

NP: Demoncy - Empire of the Fallen Angel

edit: stuppid sperling mistaaks

[LegionsofMarduk]

Immolation...hmmm. Either Dawn Of Possession or Close To A World Below. Both really good albums IMO.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Immolations "Dawn of Possesion" is classic.
