any other death heads?

[Toozey]

Gaahl seems to be a pleasent chap, just read about him almost kicking a man to death for no reason.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Gaahl is such a nice guy, i mean does it make him a bad guy if he has tried to torture someone to death 3 times?

[Bartender]

Just thought I'd drop this in in case anyone is interested and doesn't check the Reviews forum. Theres a Nuclear Blast compilation DVD out, and its got some pretty good videos on it.

This is mainly aimed at people in Britain, since we don't get Gorgoroth on TV, these kinda DVDs might be the only way we can see videos by people like Kataklysm, Kreator, Cathedral, Morbid Angel, Entombed, Manowar, etc (only place I have anyway :()

I was just on the nuclear blast site, I didn't see a new DVD. Do you have a link?

[Bartender]

Its called Monsters of Metal, and has 50 videos on it, as well as 3 live bonus videos and a little compilation show of forthcoming releases. Its volume 1 as well; they're apparently releasing another one (with 50 more videos) sometime.

I'm sorry, I don't have a link. I just stumbled on the DVD in HMV's music dvd sale, and I've never been to the Nuclear Blast site...the site given on the DVD box is www.nuclearblast.de, if thats any help.

[Bartender]

^just realised, it might not actually be brand new, I've no idea when it was released. It looks fairly new from whats on it.

If for some reason you meant a link to the review;

Well, I don't see it on the site so I guess i'll have to drag my lazy *** out to the local music store to check it out.

[LegionsofMarduk]

Well, I haven't posted in a few days. My work has the site blocked and even if it didn't, I moved departments so now I'm not in an office by myself so I really wouldn't be able to post anyways. And to whoever it was, my avatar was the original for the Baphomet Horde. It started as a bit of a joke and now it's got this weird kvlt following so...I dunno. And yes, Baphomet was the horned goat with wings. Do a google search for "Goat Of Mendes" or "Knights Templar" and you should get some hits.

NP: Iniquity - Tides Of Vengeance

[Jondur]

Jondur, were those recorded with the old valvestates or the new ones?

As some of those albums were recorded in the early 90's I'm guessing old. not that I'd know. I'm a drummer - amps are wooden boxes which make noise. Actually MDB etc use amp modelling now so the guitars are DI'd through a rackmount Line6 POD.

[metdrummer]

I've been reading loads about Mayhem lately and there crazy history....

Now all i need to do is hear some of there songs... lol, what are some awesome songs you guys can recommend me?

[Jondur]

Funeral Fog,
DeathCrush
Pagan Fears
Freezing Moon
Carnage
Pure f*ucking Armageddon

[ninjamonkey]

I hear Freezing Moon is a must have song

Has anyone heard the song "Kill For God" by Vehemence? It is so awesome. I think it's on the CD "Helping the World To See"
does anyone know when that album came out? Vehemence site doesnt seem to be working and some other sites had conflicting info.

[xAzagthothx]

i thought Vehemence only had one cd? ****. either way, they still rule.

[Lefty]

I am partial to the song De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas as far as Mayhem goes. For other good songs, download/listen to Jondur's suggestions.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Buy "Live in Leipzig" it's a classic album basically because it has dead on it. De mysterii Dom Sathanas is a good album but Attilla's vocals would be more suited for thrash. Also, yes "Freezing Moon" is an amazing song.

[ninjamonkey]

i found a board for vehemence and it looks like the album isn't out yet. it will be out soon though.

azagthoth, i think they have 2 albums and them a demo. they might have more.

[Terminal Spirit]

I've been reading loads about Mayhem lately and there crazy history....

Now all i need to do is hear some of there songs... lol, what are some awesome songs you guys can recommend me?

Mayhem's greatest work occured before Wolf's Lair Abyss. Everything after isn't that great. Especially Maniac's vox on GDOW, ewww. My two favorite Mayhem albums are De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas and Live in Leipzig. Personal favorite songs would be:
Life Eternal ♪
De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
Freezing Moon
Funeral Fog
Pagan Fears
Chainsaw Gutfûck
Pure Fûcking Armageddon
Fall of Seraphs
Deathcrush

I've not heard these songs as played on the Freezing Moon single or Out from the Dark, but they are supposed to be extremely good.

[AmonAmarth]

i thought Vehemence only had one cd? ****. either way, they still rule.


Vehemence has 1 demo, and 1 cd "God Was Created" out. The new album is April 16 or so.

Ive posted this like 6 times before, and finally someone replies to someone else about it. BULL****.

There forums are at www.ultimatemetal.com, there website was at http://vehemence.brutaldeath.net (they may be getting a new domain). I was the webmaster for the site, for a small minute.

[ninjamonkey]

i think they said the site would be back up by sunday.
is not "the thoughts from which i hide" an album?

[AmonAmarth]

I do believe it's Vehemence's Demo.

[big69]

I bought Cryptopsy - None So Live today, and "And Then You'll Beg" will be here in a few weeks.

*prays for them to come to Calgary*

[metdrummer]

nice buy

[Bartender]

Toozey (or anyone else with the album) are track 7 and 8 on Exhuming the Grave of Yeshua (Sons of Anak Rise and A Healer Made God on the track listing) actually the other way round?

[Toozey]

I have no idea.

[Bartender]

I meant to ask if they were other way round on your copy, they definitely are one mine..the lyrics headed as one are sung on the other and vice versa.

[Toozey]

Oh right, I've never really looked, I'm a more of put the cd on and listen without touching the box person.

[xAzagthothx]

i picked up Dimmu Borgir's "Enthrone Darkness Triumphant" yesterday. its the only works i really ever liked by them. stuff like Spellbound and Entrance. anyone else's thoughts on this disc? this is like kind of metallica's black album for them.... the turning point for them to get gay haha.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

For Dimmu "Enthrone Dakrness Triumphant" is the only album worth buying of them. Everything else is meh.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

I liked Puritanical Misnthropic Euphoria as well as Enthrone, but the stuff after that seemed pretty boring after that.

[Lateralias]

I need some Slayer songs recommended, I dont know if there older stuff is better than there newer stuff....

[Ve Das]

Hell Awaits(you´ll find the CD version quite different from the live one ;) )
War Ensemble
Post Mortem
Chemical Warfare
Dead Skin Mask
Show No Mercy
all old Slayer which is the only Slayer worth listening to :D

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Tormentor is also really good. And all of Reign in Bllod is classic.

[Bulimic Jesus]

Wasn't Chemical Warfare on Slayer's punk covers cd? I forgot the name, but I remembered seeing an ad in an old magazine I had.

Also, Does anyone like Pessimist?

Ps. On the pedal debate, maybe if its too distorted you still have the amps overdrive/distortion on, and that, sounds like terrible ****. And if you want a good pedal I suggest the Digitech metal master, it has a 6 year warrenty (what an odd number of year warrenty.)

[ninjamonkey]

Amon,
i check metalarchives and accordign to that vehemence has 2 full lengths, and 2 demos and a new fulllength coming out soon.

[AmonAmarth]

Let me ask John (guitarist for Vehemence) real quick. Er not online, I don't want to call him either (long distance)... eh...

personally, I don't think that they've done a bad cd. People don't like the new one, but I thought it was one of the best releases of last year.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Antichrist. 'nuff said

You know, Dissection did a cover of that song and in my opinion it's better than the slayer version.

[Ramsey]

Can someone (i know there is already a in flames thread, but oh well) reccomend me the best in flames cd?

i already have clayman and whoracle. a friend of mine says jester race is amazing...but i dunno..

the recording quality on whoracle **** though...

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Jesters Race. Its their best, in my opnion, and many others'. Probably one of the best Gothenburg CDs, and overall, its just their best work.
Lunar Strain and Colony are also really good.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Can someone (i know there is already a in flames thread, but oh well) reccomend me the best in flames cd?

In my opinion, their best album is Lunar Strain. It's got everything that you expect from In Flames, technical guitar playing, and some mind boggling melody.

the recording quality on whoracle **** though...

[Anti-Bush]

Jester Race is your best bet, I just streamed the new Krisiun album and its pretty good, Any one want, just ask, Any way how does everyone like Kult Ov Azazel.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

I like them a lot, but they get kind of samey after a while. Apocalyptic Revelation is a great album though.

Jester Race is your best bet, I just streamed the new Krisiun album and its pretty good, Any one want, just ask, Any way how does everyone like Kult Ov Azazel.

Krisiun is pretty damn good, "Words of Carnage" is my favorite album of theirs. The drumming and sweep picking are amazing. Kult ov Azazel is pretty good, not one of my personal favorites though.

Kult Ov Azazel is really good, I like them alot. Triumph od Fire is probably my favorite album by them, its just so godd!

I never liked Borgir nor will I ever. I listened to Stormblåst which is the one I've heard best 'bout so to speak. Even listened to Enthroned a few time but it's something about them that I don't like.

Woops, I didn't see it was a whole new page. :D

Yeh, Per Ardua, I know that Dissection covered it. It's really nice.

[xAzagthothx]

yeah.... i donno, Dimmu really isnt black metal to me... black metal is Immortal, Darkthrone, Dark Funeral, Emperor. for music to be black w/ keys, its gotta be super fast like Emperor. this midpaced groove **** that CoF and Dimmu does just isnt black.

[Jondur]

MY GOD **** CELTIC FROST CD STILL HASNT COME IN.

i ordered Morbid Tales from FYE over a month ago, and the ****ing thing still isnt in yet. this is ridiculous. never order anything from FYE. they suck.

I got the "Are you Morbid?" biography written by Tom G Warrior. So my weekend involved reading that with the aid of chronological listening of the Hellhammer/Celtic Frost back catalogue! Saturday night involved beer, talking about Celtic Frost, listening to Celtic Frost and going "UGHHHHH!" and HEY-EEEEEYYYY!!!"

[metdrummer]

Whats some awesome Emperor songs?

[AmonAmarth]

Warriors of Modern Death

[Jondur]

Inno a Satana
Ancient Queen
Cosmic Keys to my Creation and Times
I am the Black Wizards
etc etc etc.... you'd struggle more to find non-amazing Emperor songs.

[superpeer]

Whats some awesome Emperor songs?

I like 'Beyond the great vast forest'

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Emperor Songs:
The loss and curse of reverence
The wanderer
Inno a sathana
Warriors of modern death

Basically any song off of either "In the nightside Eclipse" and "Anthems to the Welkin at dusk."

[lilpete86]

just got the best of deicide and nile - in their darkned shrines :cool:

[superpeer]

In their darkened shrines is great :thumb:

Best song : Unas slayer of the Gods.

[lilpete86]

yeah it's ****ing awesome. I can't wait till my next bunch of cds arrive. I've got some grimfist, graveworm and morbid angel coming :)

[TheUnavoidable]

In Their Darkened Shrines is indeed a great album.

[Toozey]

Yeah its great but I still prefer In The catacombs of nephren-ka

[Anti-Bush]

I wanted to bump this just to keep it on steady rotation, someone get on msn.

[xAzagthothx]

Shrines is a good disc... but its my least favorite of theirs for a few reasons. number one, the production is way too clean. i mean... its like they emphasized Laureano's overplaying, which is my 2nd beef. it really seems like hes trying to do too much. Like...nile is supposed to have really over-the-top drumming, but Laureano tries too hard IMO. thirdly... they used ****in synths and computers for all the ecletic instruments, as opposed to Black Seeds where EVERYTHING was real. Black Seeds is definately their pinnacle.

but.... Shrines has "Sarcaphogus" and that song simply blasts tombs. gahhhh.... the ending section...oh man. they played that song the first time i ever saw them. *drools*

[metdrummer]

Yes, In their darkened shrines is a great album

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

*bump*

Ah, haven't posted for a while in here, I just haven't had much to say for myself. I'm currently waiting for my "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" to arrive, and then I'm going to be torn as to what to order next. I'm recently very keen on Amon Amarth, but I just can't decide which album of theirs to get, and then there's the ever present yearning for an Immortal album, and I just don't know what to do!
I definitely need to buy the Bethledeign cd though. -Interesting fact: Phil from Bethledeign was born in Hertfordshire, where I'm from-

However does anyone want to start up a CDR compilation trade? Me Legions and Terminal did one a bit back. All it needs is a CD of tracks from some of your favourite bands and then you send it to someone. Dead easy and a good way to hear new stuff.

so uhh yeah. lets try and beat that. hah

[Toozey]

2003 - Mithras - Worlds Beyond The Veil

Hey look at that I won!

How so? I like it.

Steve's a pretty good drummer. he picks up really well on offbeat odd time signature stuff.

yo, heres a REALLY good band i found: Sheep Grinder www.sheepgrinder.com its like...groove evil black metal. think a faster Samael and Bathory, with like...Abbath vocals kind of. they rule. download them.

Carcass - Symphonies of Sickness
Macabre - Gloom
Obituary - Slowly We Rot
Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness
Watchtower - Control and Resistance

Thou hath been bested!

That's the first year that came to mind, though if I really thought about it, I could probably think of a better one.

[xAzagthothx]

i could be wrong, but didnt Obituary's "Slowly We Rot" come out in 89 as well?

Tradgic news. The amazing source of Canadian Injected Death Grind known as Thorazine is coming to an end. Their last show will be march 12th. The Day Ash Blackened Out the Sun will be released by Deathgasm, eventually. It's finished recording, with Steve Austin of Today is the Day, and will be out, as soon as Deathgasm gets around to it.

[Jondur]

1989:

Pestilence - Consvming Impvlse
Carcass - Symphonies of Sickness
Macabre - Gloom
Obituary - Slowly We Rot
Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness
Watchtower - Control and Resistance
.

I agree to an extent although I'm tempted to add 1991 for the following reasons:

Morbid Angel: Blessed are the Sick
Paradise Lost: Gothic
Death:Human
Pestilence: Testimony of the Ancients
Revelation: Salvation's Answer
Darkthrone: Soulside Journey
My Dying Bride: Symphonaire
Carcass: Necroticism
Cathedral: Forest of Equilibrium

So who's up for some CDR trading then? Got lilpete and Legions so far. Doesn't matter what you put on the CD - I'd be happy getting a CD full of Maiden! Lilpete and Legions: send us your addresses to jonathon_gibbs@hotmail.com

Anyone want Dying Fetus live tracks from their last London Gig??? ( Or are they too grindcore for this thread... )
I can tell you the URL but I don't wan't to get banned for plugging my site!

BTW I'm with The Corporal with his 98 thing...

[Jondur]

Fetus have been discussed in here quite a lot. I missed the London gig with Hate Eternal and Deeds of Flesh. Was it good?

[Toozey]

I'm up for some cd-r trading but I'm a little worried about sending you my adress!

[Jondur]

Don't worry I'll wipe my feet!

[Ve Das]

:lol: What about sending a CD list around so you´ll know what NOT to send?

[Jondur]

To be honest with you - that's not exactly what I had in mind. It doesn't have to be new bands - you can just stick a load of songs (1-2 max from each band) on the CD and then just send - you'll find some new bands and remind yourself of some older stuff and hopefully and up with a cool compilation CD. That way you son't feel pressured into searching for the most obscure stuff you can find.

Trust me it'll be cool and I won't come round and nick your stuff - I promise!

[Fimbulwinter]

How so? I like it.
As xAzagthothx said, the drummer really does some off beat and odd time signatures. I just don't think it melts in good with the rest of the music.

Sounds like a good idea...coupla questions though, are you talking about putting maybe 13-14 tracks on a CDR, or like 250 in mp3 format? Also, would you send a copy of the CD to each other person joining in, or just trade with one of them?

[Ve Das]

250,whoa,that´d be one helluva rip-fest.Well,as I´m a part-time DJ,I should have zero trouble making a compilation ;)

[lilpete86]

all my music is in aac format . i still haven't managed to get my mp3 burner to work properly yet :(

[BeelzeBloke]

Yeah, Jondur, the Fetus Gig was very gratifying!!! Deeds of Flesh were well tight, impressed loads more than their recorded stuff.
Fetus benefited from the extra guitar, the time before at the same venue they were good but this time the 2nd guitar made a big difference. The new drummer's got loads better than on Stop @ Nothing ( where he didn't seem to flow as well )
Hate Eternal were FIERCE!!!
If you want to download some Fetus tracks from the night they're on www.beelzebike.com

[HappyMarshmellow]

I saw Dying Fetus a few months ago, awesome show. Heavy as hell man, a great live band!

[Terminal Spirit]

I'd be up to do some trading again. Unfortunately, I don't have a burner, so it'd have to be Minidisc or tape.

[Black Mage Carcass]

Wow, I already have three contenders for Album Of The Year at the mo -

Decapitated - The Negation
Deicide - Scars Of The Crucifix (I was never too keen on Deicide's other stuff, but this is just ****ing incredible. Jimmer is to pre-order this VERY soon)
Dragonforce - Sonic Firestorm

And we're also looking forward to Ink Compatible, the new Lykathe album, and Probot to name just a few. This year's looking awesome!

I would join in with the tape trading stuff, but I don't have a burner, sorry :(

as did i, i had a spot off to the left side and my eyes were glued on the drummer. it was in a very very small venue here in st.louis (a place usually reserved for local bands, though Iced Earth did play there in 97') so the sound and view of the band was extradornitoy. great live band, when they played "justifiable homocide" and "streeks of blood" i just about lost it.

[Jondur]

Sounds like a good idea...coupla questions though, are you talking about putting maybe 13-14 tracks on a CDR, or like 250 in mp3 format? Also, would you send a copy of the CD to each other person joining in, or just trade with one of them?

mp3's are for falses - only non compressed media is real!

Right all those who are interested send me an email (jonathon_gibbs@hotmail.com) and I'll send you the details. Terminal: minidisc is fine - we'll just have to pair you with someone with a minidisc player!

Beelzebloke: I've always been impressed with Fetus live. They're good on record but live is miles better. The fact that they managed to rejuvenate my battered hungover head at 2.30pm in Wacken is a testament to their power! I would definitely gone to that gig had it not been for the fickle, unpredictable nature of women!

[AmonAmarth]

Don't worry anybody who's gonna see Agalloch, most of you won't even recognize the sets they play because you only can relate to one or two songs they play.

You all == Not True

Me == True

[Vortigon]

I don't know if this has been mentioned in here, I don't remember seeing anything about it, but I just found this http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=7256 and its very good news indeed.

minidisk? No problem,I have one at home. :thumb:

I've never heard of it before, so I don't know if its an annual thing or not...whatever, its looking pretty good (but then I'm a fan of Sonata Arctica).

[BeelzeBloke]

Gonna see Decapitated soon, there'll likely be a MD recording of this along the same lines as the Fetus gig...

[ninjamonkey]

whaaa?
i hope your joking.
I have 3 of their albums and i am a big fan. WHy would i not relate to or know their songs?

[Ve Das]

Dude,Agalloch ain´t availible here.How about sending me a copy of some of their stuff?

[Fimbulwinter]

You can buy it through the end records or metalmerchant.de mate.

[Ve Das]

Buy?I´m saving up for Wacken :p

Well...unfortunately I don't have much music related info to post. But I did get my valentines presant today. Another tattoo!! Just a little one this time. The Japanese kanji for "Power" on the underside of my left wrist.

edit: Since there seems to be quite a few different interpretations, here's the version of the symbol that I got. http://www.ideogear.com/ji.php?id=52e2

[ninjamonkey]

thats a cool design man.
i just found out november's doom is playing at the concert im going to with agalloch and the gathering.

[Anti-Bush]

november's doom is ace. :thumb:

[xAzagthothx]

ive seen them twice. they play pretty good. their singer is reaaaaaaaaaaallly fat and has reaaaaaaaaaaaallllly long hair. i ran into the guitarist and bass player at the NJ metal fest. cool dudes. im not much into doom metal, but i like em.

Speak for yourself, I've been listening to Agalloch for over 8 years. Before From Which Of This Oak, yes I have all their albums (including Tomorrow Will Never Come). Yes, everyone is retarded... that includes yourself.

PIGS - I know you, you are still retarded, and you are still a punk bitch

Np ~ Agalloch - III

No that's not Death Of Man [Version III]

[Ve Das]

Your minidisc player will play compressed audio?

it´ll play up to a compression rate of 6 CDs per minidisk :)

[Ve Das]

BTW,I just picked up : Ajattara-Itse and Rottrevore-Iniquitous :) Cool stuff \m/

[Anti-Bush]

Lets try to keep this on the first page, but just for a meaningful post am I the only one who liked Ammot in Carcass rather then Arch Enemy?

[Toozey]

I dislike Amott because he seems to have become big headed in recent times, I have never really thought of him when he was in Carcass, Steer usually gets the credit.

[Ve Das]

Amott was in Carcass?Wow,I guess I better read those linear notes once in a while...

[xAzagthothx]

yeah... when Arch Enemy played here, none of the members would look at the audience. they all had their eyes focused way overhead. they didnt even say thank you or anything after they played. it was really gay...pissed off a lot of people. they seemed to have this massive big rock star attitude about themselves

[Toozey]

Someone should pull Mikes hair :angry:

[Fimbulwinter]

Regardless. He is a bastard for getting to see Agalloch while I'm stuck in Stockholm where no good bands play at a time where I can see them! Bleh!

[Bartender]

North of England is worse. Practically no one comes here...really litte bands (ones no one has ever heard of) tend to play here just cos they need to play somewhere to earn money for food, and then no one comes until they're either super-huge (like Iron Maiden, Motorhead) or a pop group. All the middling bands avoid it like the plague :(

[Toozey]

Leeds is the only place bands regulary tour near us Bartender but I dont ever go because I hate the place!

[demon knight]

heh im a death metal fan i preferably like cryptopsy - phobophile

heres its lyrics........

In the kitchen
With a screaming triple amputee;
It's complection depends soley
On my needs.
Said amputee stumps
Are my way of saying;
"Thank you just for being you."
It's fear tastes better than it's limbs.

Terror of mortality,
I draw from the slowly dying ****ed
Monsters live behind my eyes;
I let them out and people die.
And all the grave worms
That come for their piece of meat?
I give them dead things..
The wretched living are mine alone

Fright mounts with the body count
To which anthropomancy predicts a decline
In all of God's creation,
Can there be a lifestyle that's better than this?

I mark my territory
With their blood and excritement
And adipocere...
I can find my way in the dark;
My fulfilment is habitually necromanic
And anal abusive..
Seen through the eyes of a mortician

They've "caught" me, as they call it;
My teeth and my semen have betrayed me..
Nevermore!
Tests to gauge my rationale,
The likes of which these feeble minds have
Never seen.

Rorschach blotters,
My responses to which inspire fear...
From my lizard side,
The amoral alien speaks;
"These aren't butterflies,
I see a face I'd like to burn."

Obfuscation
Of the authorities with lies,
And my natur
Alability to charm and be me,
Or whoever they want;
I've known all minds by divine right.




cryptopsy rules heh. there style in guitar playing is awesome and there guitar tuning is pretty rare from what ive heard in bands.

[Terminal Spirit]

it´ll play up to a compression rate of 6 CDs per minidisk :)

Should I assume that means 4 times compression?

[Bartender]

Leeds is the only place bands regulary tour near us Bartender but I dont ever go because I hate the place!

Yeah...the only time I went to Leeds wasn't even to see a band, and the only thing I noticed was that the whole place seemed to be populated by homeless people. I swear thats all there was. Admittedly they were the most polite/inventive homeless people I've ever seen ("Good morning, sir, would you like to make a donation to Leeds most up-and-coming homeless couple?").

The furthest I've been to see a band was Birmingham just a couple of weeks ago for A Perfect Circle, and everything (the travel, etc) was such a cluster**** that I really couldn't be bothered to it again.

[Corporal Compendia]

So I got a Pestilence Bootleg DVD with 2 shows on it. Pure awesomeness.
Martin Van Drunen was fronting the band for the first show, and they had Tony Choy in the band for the second show. I would now officially kill to have the chance to go back in time to see them.

[xAzagthothx]

oh man i didnt know Pestilence had a DVD. thats awesome. i keep meaning to pick up the double cd reissue that Roadrunner put out... but money sucks and wont let me have enough of it.

but heres some bands you guys really ought to check out:

Sheep Grinder - slow trudgy black metal from Louisiana. soooooo ****ing good www.sheepgrinder.com

Endominion - brutal tech death metal really ****ing good www.endominion.com

[Corporal Compendia]

Pestilence doesn't actually have a DVD, but some guy just took some bootlegs and put them on DVD. The quality is pretty good though.

[Anti-Bush]

Sheep Grinder - slow trudgy black metal from Louisiana


I live in Louisiana :thumb: Havent been to any of their shows though.
They are pretty good.

[ninjamonkey]

ha, is he selling those bootlegs?

[Samuel]

So, I downloaded Decapitated's the Negation last nght. I think its pretty good, but weak in comparison to Winds Of Creation. Anyone else heard it?

[Cardboard Headgear]

Downloading those Sheepgrinder samples right now.

EDIT: Pretty good stuff.

[Jondur]

Leeds is the only place bands regulary tour near us Bartender but I dont ever go because I hate the place!

Nowt wrong with Leeds. Go an hour further and it gets really sh1t in Bradford but there's loads of gigs there.

But I live near London now so it's gigs galore now.

Amott is a bit of a tit. Steer was better in Carcass and his brother Chris is better in Arch Enemy. However Carnage were GODS!

NP - Probot.

[BeelzeBloke]

Yeah, I've heard the Negation, it's pretty good but the Lunatic cover is a bit lame IMO...
Pestilence, whoa! What a live band!!! My band supported on the UK leg of the tour they did with Malevonent Creation back in the day ( Patrick fronting )... Tony Choy is a good laugh, totally down to earth bloke. He pulled the ugliest girl in Cardiff hahaha!
Where can I get that DVD???

[Jondur]

Which band are you in? I missed that tour - what year was it? good days - loads of people at gigs, stage diving, big trainers.... ah the nostalgia. On the plus side I'm now tall enough to actually see at gigs. Ugliest girl in Cardiff! Wow, that's saying something! How did they get a sheep in the venue anyway?

[Toozey]

:lol:

I've just ordered the Kreator DVD, these guys rule and I never realised it!

[Ve Das]

Should I assume that means 4 times compression?

Yes :)

[Jondur]

gents,

We need at least one more person for cd/tape/minidisc trades. All we're doing is a compilation CD with 1-2 songs from each band - anything goes just a chance to hear some new music and to rediscover some classics. Mail me at jonathon_gibbs@hotmail.com

Legions, Ve Das, Terminal, Bartender - you should receive n email as soon as I find one more person!

[xAzagthothx]

2 suffocation songs "Deceit" and "Subconsciously Enslaved" as well as a new Pig Destroyer tune. enjoy!!!

[Toozey]

Thanks dude, I'm getting those Suffocation songs now, they better rule!

[Lefty]

****, Deceit totally owns! Thanks a lot xAzagthothx.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Indeed, "deceit" does own.

[Toozey]

Its meh but surprisingly new Fear Factory album is hella \m/

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Hey, Fimbulwinter (Or anyone else for this matter), How is Fimbulwinter Servants of Sorcery? I am think about ordering this CD but i can only order one out of the three that I want.
By the way, the other's are
Keep of Kalessin-Through times of war
Blood Stained Dusk-Dirges of Death's Silence

[xAzagthothx]

yeah...deceit rules. suffocation got melodic!!!!! lol

[Fimbulwinter]

It's really good. Suprisingly it's the drummer from Borgir behind the battery. Regardless, it's very good. Cold, chilling and no synthesizers. Get it if you can, if my memory serves it's rather rare.

Plus, it has one of the best BM names. :D

[Toozey]

Jondur check your email.

[Jondur]

Emails have been sent - hopefully this could become pretty cool!

[Toozey]

Yeah but my CDs will be full stuff that you'd hate.

[Jondur]

That's the best bit about it! The chance to force your musical tastes on someone!

[Girl-Playing-Bass]

^^ :lol:

Yeah but my CDs will be full stuff that you'd hate.

Like what? just curious

edit: :o I cant believe it's my first post in here -shame-

[Toozey]

I'll be putting stuff like this on (Just been thinknig about it now)

Kreator
Fear Factory (Off The new Album)
Celtic Frost
Mithras
Strapping Young Lad

etc,

I havent heard the new FF album though. Is it that good? Cause i was never really blown away by them :\

Yes, I am pretty sure it is rare also. There is a local CD store near my house that does special orders for rare CD's and such, so i am pretty sure I can get it there.

On another note, I am also hoping this CD trading comes out to be pretty cool.

[Toozey]

Neither was I but the new album wihch leaked yesterday is killer! Have you got msn? I could send you a track or two.

[Girl-Playing-Bass]

yeah i got MSN --> haceloporkaren@hotmail.com, but I don't really use it that much though.
I guess I'll just have to download some. Better be good :p

[Jondur]

With the exception of Fear Factory who are arse, I love all those bands.

[Toozey]

New FF is not arse.

I WILL MAKE YOU LISTEN TO ALL THESE ARSE BANDS I LIKE.

:p

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

I was never much into Fear Factory myself either...
By the way, you can always skip the FF tracks on the cd's :p I will listen to them anway though.

[Toozey]

Shall I post the tracklist for the CD I'll make?

[Girl-Playing-Bass]

yes please ^^

woh very nice! vv

[Toozey]

Kreator - Pleasure to Kill
Fear Factory - Cyberwaste
Strapping Young Lad - Aftermath
Mithras - Sloping Altars
My Dying Bride - The Blue Lotus
Lipid - Spontaneous Human Combustion
Mayhem - Funeral Fog
Mistress - Wanker Colony
Bolt Thrower - World Eater

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Where did you hear hear the new Fear Factory song?

[Toozey]

The album is leaked.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

So, its good? None of the Back the **** Up rap garbage?

[superpeer]

Give us some songnames to download, Toozey.

[Toozey]

www.fearfactory.com has the full tracklist.

[superpeer]

Ok, I'll have a look at it.

[xAzagthothx]

i used to be a massive fear factory fan. i even got to see them once. everything up through Obsolete was good, but then Digimortal just ****in blew donkey ***. it sucked. Demanufacture is their best imo. i think ill pull up my FF playlist now....heh

[Toozey]

New FF is alot like Obsolete.

[Bartender]

I've never been a huge Fear Factory fan, but in 2002 someone gave me a link to download some new FF demos (just about 40 seconds of Archetype, Corporate Cloning and Slave Labour). I got pretty excited about them at the time, but then there was nothing for ages. Liked Obsolete though.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Ive liked FF since Gr 4, since I first heard Demanufacture. But Digimortal sort of put me off for a while, with all the rap and stuff like that. But Acres of Skin is still a good song IMO.

[Girl-Playing-Bass]

I never really liked Fear Factory. I didnt dislike it. but I never really got into it.
I checked out some new stuff though.. and i have to admid that it's not bad.. not bad at all!
*bows to toozey*

[Jondur]

Why are we talking about FF in this thread? They're about as death metal as Coal Chamber! I saw them in err sometime in the 90's supporting Brutal Truth. Twas a good gig but Brutal Truth destroyed them.

[Toozey]

First FF album was pretty death like at times.

[Jondur]

Bah! talk about them - see if I care [/sulk]

But that track is definitely getting skipped!

Right I'm off home to listen to the mint original pressings of Celtic Frost Morbid Tales and Extreme Noise Terror Holocaust in your Head that arrived this morning. \m/

[lilpete86]

That new fear factory is awful. Sorry Tooz but it is

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

i got a free ticket to Cannible Corpse this year!!!

the opening acts im not as famalier with, what are some good tracks from the following?

Hypocrisy, Vile, Exhumed & Emaciation

[Ve Das]

Dunno but SKIP Hypocrisy,they SUCK.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Maybe on Catch 22 they did...

[xAzagthothx]

im listening me some Autopsy right now....hah

Jondur you bastard...ive been waiting for almost 2 months for my god**** Morbid Tales disc to come in. Only reason i special ordered it was because it had a bonus feature of having the entire Hellhammer demo added on!! i found the regular version of the disc at a local underground cd store....and it was only 11.99!!!! i think ill be going in today and requesting that i receive my money back....I WANT THE GOD **** DISC

[Ve Das]

@opiate:I´m speaking in present tense for a reason...

[xAzagthothx]

hey, i know this doesnt really have to do with metal, but does anyone know of any really good websites with a vast archive of tattoo images of like demons and evil stuff? i turn 18 next tuesday, and im going to get a tattoo, but i cant find anything to get an idea from. i need evil demons!~

[lilpete86]

where do you want to get your tattoo?

[Ve Das]

what about Cthulu?

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Get Baphomet. He's the goat with wings, correct?

[sacrifice93.2]

First FF album was pretty death like at times.

I agree. I may be a thrash head, but that album was pretty cool. I like Fear Factory, but not as much as the other stuff I listen to.
*points to Scott Ian avatar*

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Right I'm off home to listen to the mint original pressings of Celtic Frost Morbid Tales and Extreme Noise Terror Holocaust in your Head that arrived this morning. \m/

Nice! Very nice.

[Corporal Compendia]

Some goods came in the mail for me today.

Diabolical Masquerade - Ravendusk in my Heart
Phlebotomized - Skycontact
Sodom - Marooned Live
Sodom - Tapping the Vein

I am now expecting:
Autopsy - Acts of the Unspeakable
Carnivore - Retaliation
Evol - Saga of the Horned King
Phlebotomized - Immense, Intense, Suspense
They should be here any day now.

Excellent stuff.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

That Diabolical Masquerade album is in a word amazing. But Ravendusk in my Heart cannot even compete with Death's design

[xAzagthothx]

isnt that a project of Dan Swano?


btw people, ive found the tat ill be getting: www.tattoofinder.com go there, and run a design name search for "Unchained" super evil!!

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Indeed Diabolical Masquerade is a Dan Swano project.

On a side note, when i went to search for "Unchained" in the tatoofinder and i found nothing.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

I couldnt find anything either

[Bartender]

You have to go to the advanced search and make it a design name search. It looks pretty good.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

I see it now, that tatoo is pretty hawt :thumb:

[Corporal Compendia]

isnt that a project of Dan Swano?

Uh, sort of... Blackheim does almost all of the music and vocals though. Swano throws in his bits here and there, and he also produces, mixes, and all that ****....

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Blackkheim does all of it actually, I'm pretty sure Swano only mixes and produces. He is involved though making it a project of Dan Swano even though it's Blackheim's music.

[Corporal Compendia]

Blackkheim does all of it actually, I'm pretty sure Swano only mixes and produces. He is involved though making it a project of Dan Swano even though it's Blackheim's music.

Swano does some vocals and keyboards as well. Usually the "heavy metal vocals" like on 'Under the Banner of the Sentinel'. :lol:

[ninjamonkey]

So I saw novembers doom, agalloch, and the gathering last night. There was barely anyone there. I think that was partly cause the three bands playing weren't THAT popular and opeth played the night before. since people wouldn't go to the club two nights in a row most likely and since opeth is more popular, they would obviously go to the opeth show.
Me and my friend were actually touching the stage we were so close. we were like 3 feet away from the band members.
Novembers doom was awesome. When they ended, i gave the singer a high five. One of the guitarists handed out guitar picks at the end, but he ran out of picks right before he got to me. Then, the bassist came out and filmed us on a video camera for like thirty seconds.
When Agalloch started out, i thought their set was gunna suck, cause the bass player's amp was up so high and the overal sound was terrible. like, all you could hear was the bass.
But they turned it down after the first song, and it was much better after that.
their set seemed to get better as time went on. Overall they were awesome too and had one crazy ending. they were bashing their guitars on the ground and stuff, and purposely causing as much noise as possibly with feedback and unplugging and using the chord to pick their strings. It was crazy.

Then, the gathering came on. They were good, but i was at the concert more for the previous two bands. The gathering was good, but a little boring IMO. On the plus side, the singer definitely looked straight at me several times. ;)

Overall, it was awesome, and i picked myself up an Agalloch shirt.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

That's awesome man, I want to get to an Agalloch show myself.

[OpiateTheMasses!]

Ninja monkey, where do you live?

[ninjamonkey]

I live in northern Virginia near D.C. The club i went to is in Washington D.C.

[Jondur]

how where discharge an influence on death and black metal?

Have you heard them?

Their influence is mainly through the thrash and grind scenes which both owe an ENORMOUS debt to Discharge. For example Max Cavelera started Sepultura becuase he was so impressed by a tape he had with Hellhammer on one side and Discharge on the other!

[metdrummer]

Thats a cool interesting fact...

[Jondur]

Black metal is a tenuous link mainly from Discharge --> Venom ----> black metal.

You can hear Discharge in the likes of Autopsy easily. And grind was a huge influence on death metal anyway.

The point I was trying to make is that Discharge are ace and too many metalheads write them off because they're punk.

[JMetallica]

^^

I like your avatar, although you are easily persuaded by Jondur - discharge suck -> oh, ok -> yeah discharge own. :p

Although you do have a point, discharge may not have had a direct influence on BM, as Venom aren't black metal, although, if Tom Warrior says he was more than slightly influenced by them, i will withdraw my statement. Hellhammer were, in fact, BM. :thumb:

And you are also right when you said Max has that Discharge sticker on that awesome guitar of his... Well spotted! :thumb:

[Jondur]

Although you do have a point, discharge may not have had a direct influence on BM, as Venom aren't black metal,

Venom are not but EVERY single Black Metal band has been influenced by them

And Discharge are ace. I love that sort of stuff. Loads of Dis-core round my place when I feel the need to fu ck the system!

[BeelzeBloke]

Gary ( Discharge drummer ) opened a rehearsal venue in my town back in't day... It's a tattoo place now. He went off to do his Tshirt & poster thing. Not seen him for years now...
Jeez I'm a real name dropper aren't I...

[BeelzeBloke]

Oh yeah Jondur I think that tour was in 92... That band I was in was called Impaler ( long gone, did 1 album which sucked...), we toured loads with Bolt Thrower.

[Jondur]

Yeah - and you never told us which band you were in.

My mate lives in a commune with Crass. Which is err smelly.

[Jondur]

Woops! Too impatient there.

I have Charnel Deity! It's great! Cracking artwork too!

92 was slightly before my time I only really started going to smaller gigs in 93/94

[Toozey]

Any does a new Suffocation song on your CD sound Jondur?

[BeelzeBloke]

Hey Jondur I did that sculpture on the front cover... I found the 3 arrow-head things the other day when I was having a clear-out ( the only surviving bits of the sculpture )
Eh? You LIKE Charnel Deity??? I can't listen to that! Our drummer sprained his ankle just before we recorded it, live we were like twice as fast...
