any other death heads?

[xAzagthothx]

one of those DVDs has Morbid ANgel doing Immortal Rites on it. pretty sick. at least i think thats the one....

[Corporal Compendia]

I just heard a new Quo Vadis song. Holy ****... seems like the new album is going to be a good one. No more bad Jeff Walker impressions for the vocals.

[LegionsofMarduk]

Ok so it's been a few days since I posted. Lilpete-I got your cd! I actually got it yesterday but I hadn't been on MX since then. I'm liking it! Thanks again man! There were actually quite a few songs I hadn't heard.

Hey Toozey-Do you know if Mithras is planning any tours? Specifically are they going to be making it to the states in the near future that you know of? A guy I work with really likes them so I could probably talk him into going with me if they came to Grand Rapids.

[Terminal Spirit]

I just heard a new Quo Vadis song. Holy ****... seems like the new album is going to be a good one. No more bad Jeff Walker impressions for the vocals.

Where'd you hear it?

I'm expecting big things from the band now that they have Bart writing most of the music

[ninjamonkey]

has their site been updated?

i remmeber it still being up but just not updated in a super long time.

[lilpete86]

Hey Toozey-Do you know if Mithras is planning any tours? Specifically are they going to be making it to the states in the near future that you know of? A guy I work with really likes them so I could probably talk him into going with me if they came to Grand Rapids.


They still don't have a live drummer so i don't think there doing any tours in the near future

[Jondur]

I'm listening to Candlemass 'Gothic Stone' right now. It is just me, or does teh intro and some other parts have this Nile vibe to it? :confused:

That's cos Nile nicked it and have freely admitted to it being a 'tribute'.

[Corporal Compendia]

Where'd you hear it?

I'm expecting big things from the band now that they have Bart writing most of the music

A friend of mine sent it to me.
I think they'll meet your expectations if the entire album is like this. I know it's Steve D., but the bass is insane.

[metalmosher666]

linkin park!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bartender]

one of those DVDs has Morbid ANgel doing Immortal Rites on it. pretty sick. at least i think thats the one....

Yup, that's volume 1.

[superpeer]

You gotta love the fact that you're going to a cd store, looking for Arch enemy's black earth and you find all albums except Black Earth.

[Bartender]

^Yeah, things like that put me in stitches every time :(

[Toozey]

Hey Toozey-Do you know if Mithras is planning any tours? Specifically are they going to be making it to the states in the near future that you know of? A guy I work with really likes them so I could probably talk him into going with me if they came to Grand Rapids.

Hey Legions,

Mithras are still looking for a live drummer but thankfully they are finally having some responses to their advertising! I know there are a couple of people who may be possibilities for the job but Mithras have very high standards.

Leon is currently busy with his new company and writing the third album, I think he mentioned that even if they did get a full live line up it wouldn't be until the end of this year that they'd play a gig (s) and thats in the UK.

Hopefully one day they will conquer the world and tour near you :)

[LordDargon]

Demigod are supremely awesome.

Demilich are even awesomer! Man that vocalist is so sick it isn't funny!

I'm on an old-school thrash bent today however... when am I not?

[Ve Das]

Ve Das: what do you think mate? I hope you enjoy all the stuff.

hey guys.... Angeldeath is thinking of doing a cover of Ye Entranceperium. what do you all think? mmmmm \m/

Pretty cool,in fact,it´s so good it´ll be in my permanent playlist :thumb:
I just hope the t-shirt´ll still fit after it´s been through the washing machine...

It´ll be interesting to see how you guys pull off YE :)

[LordDargon]

Ve Das, not to be rude or anything, but do you make your punctuation look like that on purpose? I mean, come on! You can do better!

[Toozey]

Maybe his keyboard is crap.

[ninjamonkey]

That's cos Nile nicked it and have freely admitted to it being a 'tribute'.


you mean candlemass admitted to it being a tribute, right?

[lilpete86]

No the the other way around

[Ve Das]

Ve Das, not to be rude or anything, but do you make your punctuation look like that on purpose? I mean, come on! You can do better!

What punctuation?

[ninjamonkey]

hmm, alright

oh i see now for some reason i was thinking in terms the music rather than the name of the song. i was thinking candlmass addmited the music to being a tribute to nile instead of nile admitting the name was a tribute to candlemass.

[LordDargon]

What punctuation?

This punctiation:

hello,my name ' s Ve Das.I like Extreme Metal.My sock ' s are smelly.etc,etc.

The only spaces are before and after your apostrophes!

[sensitiveorgan00]

hmm, alright

oh i see now for some reason i was thinking in terms the music rather than the name of the song. i was thinking candlmass addmited the music to being a tribute to nile instead of nile admitting the name was a tribute to candlemass.

Man, listen to Gothic Stone (Candlemass) and Unas Slayer of teh Gods. The intros are so fvcking similar. Like, woah.
And Jondur, is there any interviews, etc on Nile admitting the tribute to Candlemass?

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Does anyone have Suffocation's new album "Souls To Deny" ? I've got it, it's quite good. Not as good as "Pierced From Within" but it's good none the else, anyone else have opinions?

[Toozey]

I didn't enjoy it as much as the earlier Suffocation stuff.

[superpeer]

Gothic stone was on Nightfall, released in '87 and Nile was formed in '93. I can notice some difficulties in how Candlemass could pay a tribute to Nile 6 years before they were even formed.

[ninjamonkey]

uh, yeah, i even said i understood before

[superpeer]

I know. I just mentioned it. :)

[LegionsofMarduk]

I'm so out of the loop lately it's pathetic. I didn't think the new Suffocation was out until later this summer.

[Jondur]

And Jondur, is there any interviews, etc on Nile admitting the tribute to Candlemass?

I can't remeber where it was but when asked about it said something like "Well everyone has their influences and we don't mind admitting to them"

Anyway I don't want to talk about Candlemass:....

We are truly sorry to inform you that Candlemass have disbanded!
This is sad news for us and everybody else that love this fantastic band.
There will be no more gigs, no new album, no more doom!
This is it... ..finished..........zero...........nada........out !!!

Despite the tremendous success of the reunion, everything hasn’t been perfect.
Tiny cracks in the façade could be seen during the first round in the summer of 2002 because members of the band do not share the same vision of C-mass, the gigs, an eventual new album, democracy etc, and last year it became clear that the indifferences were too large to overcome.
A demo was recorded but the internal problems overshadowed the fun of playing. The gig at Klubben (Stockholm) nov. 29 came to be the last and final for Candlemass.

The band have tried to save the situation. There have been meetings and discussions, but unfortunately it hasn’t been possible for the five members to agree on how Candlemass could work in the future. The members would have loved to continue but the chemistry is just not there anymore.
The magic is gone.........................



(19/5 2004)

[BeelzeBloke]

So with Candlemass "re-split" :upset: what's happening with "Krux"?... that band with ex-'mass members ( I forget which ones...) I think it's the drummer & guitarist.
I've only heard one track of theirs, "Black Room" (on a TerrorizerMag CD a while back)...& I kinda liked it, classic 'mass riffing, slow drumming & wicked solos but with kinda "classic-cheese-RAWK" vocals... Anyone else heard any more of their stuff???

Also has anyone else heard that Psycroptic "The Scepter of the Ancients"?
Opinions??? They're from Tazmania, apparently.

[LordDargon]

I've heard psycroptic, they sound amazing. I thought the were from australia. Does tazmania count?

NEver mind, I just looked on my map and it's all the same colour so they must be the same country :p

[xAzagthothx]

wow people actually live on tasmania? i just thought it was some desert island off of australia with the tasmanian devils and like.... the dingo haha


new show added for Angeldeath. were playing with Goratory, Burial, Dehumanized, and POSSIBLY Malignancy!!!!

[Bartender]

^You guys need to get it together, graduate and all that, and somehow get over to England. Screams From Beyond has been playing a lot round my way.

[LordDargon]

Is that a good thing? :confused:

[Toozey]

Shut up.

[JMetallica]

Haha, no one of any worth lives on Tasmania, only silly hill billies and their cousins, Although Psycroptic have been getting more and more popular on the mainland, although I havn't heard anything by them yet. :/

[BeelzeBloke]

Go hear them then before writing them off as worthless hillbillies...

( Puts CD on & imagines the band playing in grubby dungarees & straw hats...)

[ninjamonkey]

How many of you have heard Arsis?

[xAzagthothx]

Bartender: do elaborate!!! thats wonderful news.

so is this:

Saturday, June 5th, we are playing with the following: Dehumanized, Burial, Goratory, Irate, and MALIGNANCY.

yeah were playing with Malignancy. Thats right. YES.



and its the same night as my High School Senior Ball. im gonna have to do me some juggling.....haha

[Bartender]

^I just meant that I've been listening to it a lot. My sister, who usually listens to classic rock, goes through phases of listening to thrash/death, and she likes it as well. Other than that, I know nobody who likes death metal at all, so my attempts to get people listening have been unsuccessful so far.

[Jondur]

Just got a new amp and turntable so the vinyl is back on!!! I'm pretty chuffed and having a bit of a NWOBHM day. Cracking stuff from the likes of Virtue and Tyrant.

Foot is most definitely on the monitor!

[xAzagthothx]

well hey man, as long as its getting listened to. hah


yo guys, im working on getting us on a leg of Accursed Dawn and Darkness Remains east coast tour this summer. if you guys havent checked out those bands, do it

www.accurseddawn.com
www.darknessremains.tk

woot

[Bartender]

Bloody hell, page 4..so, er, what does everyone think of that there black metal radio?

EDIT:^Ah yes, you told me to check out Accursed Dawn in the package you sent Screams with. From the look of the website and the names of the songs I was thinking they'd be some kind of melancholy, gothic doom band, but I guess I should've known better. I like the stuff they have up for download.

[lilpete86]

Black metal radio is awesome although they haven't put a new epsiode up in ages :(

[lilpete86]

*bump*

Lets keep it on the first page :)


Anyone got any good gigs lined up in the near future?

[superpeer]

I'm just listening to Black Metal Radio at the moment.

I found out that there actually is a remotely 'famous' Belgian Metalband : Enthroned ! :)

[Dark Emperor]

Yeah, I have spread the word of Black Metal Radio, it is mighty good.

[lilpete86]

Shame they haven't put a new episode up in the last couple of months :upset:

[Bartender]

There's still plenty to look through though. I've been listening to it quite a lot recently, I really like the Enslaved track (I Lenker Til Ragnarok) that on the current episode.

[Vitriolic Rage]

I like Limbonic Art, and that song by Nokturnal Mortum: The Night Before The Fight.
*goes on blackmetalradio.com*

[Corporal Compendia]

****in' ****... Suffocation night was a disastrous night for me. Did I mention this already? I don't think so, the show was last week.

Anyways, Suffocation, Exhumed, Dying Fetus, Uphill Battle and Malomar.
Suffo and Exhumed were great...Fetus were... Fetus. Uphill Battle was alright, and Malomar sucked... but I had quite the ****ty night... I'm not going to get into many details, but it goes something like this.. I drank way too much on an empty stomach and I'm down a leather jacket, discman, headphones and 3 CDs now. Good thing I have a friend that works at the venue. I'll be getting them back.

------------
Aside from that... Once again, the new Quo Vadis song I have is still pretty good after a little time. A nice long "RAAAAH!" in the beginning that I know people will be talking about in the future... 16 seconds or so.

[sensitiveorgan00]

^ What's teh new Quo Vadis song called? And is anyone hosting it? Or would I have to get it on SoulseeK?

[Bartender]

^Yeah, mentions of long RAAAAH's make me curious too.

[sensitiveorgan00]

Anyone here into Nocturnus? I've only heard two songs from The Key, and I must say I'm totally impressed. You guys should check them out.

[Corporal Compendia]

^ What's teh new Quo Vadis song called? And is anyone hosting it? Or would I have to get it on SoulseeK?

Silence Calls the Storm.
Good luck...
I have it, but I don't have Soulseek or anything... I suppose I could look into getting that.

[Corporal Compendia]

Anyone here into Nocturnus? I've only heard two songs from The Key, and I must say I'm totally impressed. You guys should check them out.

Nocturnus kicks ***! The Key is freakin' awesome.

[xAzagthothx]

yeah nocturnus is some cool stuff.

their drummer/singer used to be in Morbid Angel waaaaaaaaay back when

[Bartender]

Silence Calls the Storm.
Good luck...
I have it, but I don't have Soulseek or anything... I suppose I could look into getting that.

Where did you get it from?

[Corporal Compendia]

Where did you get it from?

A friend of mine. Where he got it from, I have no clue. He's a tricky one.

[xAzagthothx]

hey.... have any of you guys checked out Behemoths waaaaaaay early stuff? like... the stuff thats on the cd "Storms To Unleash"???

[xizoesira]

To whoever asked about them - I just got turned on to Arsis a couple days ago, they kick ***.

I'm really digging Accursed Dawn, Azagthoth. :thumb:

[Toozey]

Read about this last night but haven't seen anything about it here,


Monday, May 24th 2004

Hello friends, hope all of you are well. Cryptopsy would like to thank
you for your patience and your fidelity. There have been lots of factors
thrown our way making it very hard to give you concrete news and updates
regarding the recording and release of the new album. The only news we can
tell you for now is that it is written and it’s going to floor you. The
music along with Lord Worm’s lyrics will definitely turn some heads. The
plan is still to record with Pierre Remillard (None So Vile, Whisper
Supremacy, And Then You’ll Beg, None so Live) at Wild Studio in St-Zenon,
Quebec. When? Hopefully soon.

The band is also planning some tours for the end of summer and in the
fall as well. The set for all these shows will include some material from
every album and None so Vile played in its entirety.

[LordDargon]

Hey Azagthoth, what did you mean by "Fetus were...fetus"?

PS: They rock :thumb:

[Bartender]

^I think he means exactly that.

[TheUnavoidable]

Read about this last night but haven't seen anything about it here,

Does that mean they are gonna play the entire album NsV?

[Bartender]

^Yes, amongst other songs.

[TheUnavoidable]

Cool. :cool:

You really like Mithras don't you?

[Toozey]

I guess...:D

[Ve Das]

I´m gonna check if there´s a liquer called Mithras and buy you a bottle...

@LD:

so you put spaces between the " ´ " thingys?

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

According to sources who have talked to HellHammer himself, Arcturus will be recording a mini-cd for the new album as soon as the Mayhem tour is over. This new album will have the vocalist from Spiral Architect (I can't remember his name because i have no idea how to pronounce it) taking over for Garm.
I'm excited to hear the new material.

[xAzagthothx]

Spiral Architect is some crazy crazy stuff. have you guys ever really listened to them? theyre huge in my town.... tons of people love them here. its weird lol

i got to see Norberg (their bassist) when Satyricon played... they also had Trym bangin the skins, with short hair haha. it was pretty badass

[ninjamonkey]

i saw in flames, killswitch engage, and as i lay dying on monday.
that was awesome

[Corporal Compendia]

Hey Azagthoth, what did you mean by "Fetus were...fetus"?

PS: They rock :thumb:

I believe it was me that said that. They were Boring... Run of the Mill...Plain old Dying Fetus. I've seen them 3 times now. Same conclusion every time.

[LordDargon]

Oh, you both don't have avatars so I guess I confused you... their live shows aren't good? They rock on CD

[joshmay]

can someone be a dear and explain to me the differences between several basic metal genres?

death metal
black/doom metal
thrash
grind

etc. etc. etc.

thank you :)

[LordDargon]

GAH there is a STICKIED THREAD AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE!! BE YE BLIND, MAN?

[joshmay]

aha. i see it now.

i guess the fact that there are somewhere around 394857039486726 stickies made it hard to see. :p

[joshmay]

thats was a very good read. explained a whole whole lot. :)

[LordDargon]

Hey, you're a supermod. Why don't you nudge up my post count a bit :naughty:

[Corporal Compendia]

Oh, you both don't have avatars so I guess I confused you... their live shows aren't good? They rock on CD

A lot of people seem to like their live shows... I don't. Their last CD sucked, and they no longer have Netherton. I have no interest in them anymore.

[LordDargon]

So I've heard. All I know, Killing on Adrenaline kicks my arse.

[Corporal Compendia]

Aye, that it does.

I've finally decided to get Soulseek. So now I can share some with people... I have plenty of goodies to offer, but I'll have to rip CDs first...

[lilpete86]

Cool let us know your screenname

[Corporal Compendia]

Reanimated

I've put one album in so far...
Ripping Corpse - Dreaming With The Dead

more will come whenever I feel like doing them. Probably soon, I have some things to do right now.

[lilpete86]

Cool i've added you :thumb:


Feel free to download files from me although 99% of them are .AAC files and will only play on iTunes

[joshmay]

[Bartender]

I'm Kanadarius on Soulseek. I won't have nearly as many goodies as the rest of you, but feel free to add me.

[Corporal Compendia]

Alright, I've ripped a bunch and added all of you... not much, but it's a start. If you don't have any of those albums, I recommend them.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

My Soulseek...Per Ardua Ad Astra. I just got a new computer so i don't have many CD's ripped on there yet. Just a few so far.

[Bartender]

Corporal - thanks for getting Soulseek. That new Quo Vadis song is great, and I was having trouble finding Phlebotomized (after you recommended them to me many pages ago) from anyone else.

[lilpete86]

That necrophagist i downloaded from you is hella cool corporal

Cheers :thumb:

Any Amon Amarth fans here?

I'm thinking about ordering their first album, I'm loving the music.

[TheUnavoidable]

Amon Amarth is teh win.

A bit one-sided though but still good.

[xizoesirav]

Any Amon Amarth fans here?

I'm thinking about ordering their first album, I'm loving the music.

I'd order the most recent (Versus the World).

It's the same thing, but better refined.

[xizoesirav]

By the by, I'm xizoesira on soulseek. I've got some good stuff if you don't mind digging through my friend's emo and punk. -.-

[Bartender]

What happened to your old account?

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

So, i just pre-ordered my copy of Necrophaghist's new album "Epitaph." From Relapse records. The album isn't due out for another 2 months, and yet i've already bought it. :)

[LordDargon]

Ar, I have faith in Muhammad. He is truly The Man. He will deliver the goods.

(he da.mn well better)

[Corporal Compendia]

Their American business partner or whoever that guy is has heard some of the new stuff... he said it's going to crush Onset. They've moved away from the Carcass lyrics too.

The thing that stuns me about Muhammid's playing, was his upbringing. His parents wouldn't even allow him a guitar, so he had to play in secret... no lessons or anything. Considering that, he's **** frickin' good!

[ninjamonkey]

do i really need to get that necrophagist album? ive got 2 or 3 of the songs already.

why wouldnt his parents let him have a guitar?

[Corporal Compendia]

Yes, you do need to get it.

I dunno... Strict Turkish family I guess.

[ninjamonkey]

i just realistened to my necrophagist songs. your right, i definitely do need the rest of this album

[xAzagthothx]

I Got Bethledeign's "an Illiad Of Woes" In The Cd Today. Super Yaaaay Yaaay Yaaay Yaaaaay Weee!!!!

[xizoesirav]

Banned. ><

If it's why I think it is, I probably deserved it. :P

[ninjamonkey]

what was your banned sn?

[xizoesirav]

xizoesira. I just added a 'v' to this account name. :p

I didn't have many posts, I've been here since October but only had 300-some.

Ah well.

Any other All Shall Perish fans here?

[ninjamonkey]

based on what ive heard, i think i remembered liking them

[Jondur]

The only problem I had with Necrophagist is that the riffs during the verses never seemed to match the brilliance of some of the solos. There were a few too many bog standard grindy death riffs. But lets hope that the time and maturity will lead to the next one being even more amazing.

[LegionsofMarduk]

I Got Bethledeign's "an Illiad Of Woes" In The Cd Today. Super Yaaaay Yaaay Yaaay Yaaaaay Weee!!!!

I keep meaning to order that but it seems whenever I have money I forget. Then by the time I remember I'm broke again. I've got all the songs on mp3 but I want the actual cd now.

[LordDargon]

Ninja: yes you need it. 2nd best brutal death band ever, + you get to hear him with a full band which is great.

Parents wouldn't let him play guitar eh? Sounds like me... :p

[Bartender]

Where's "Nld"? And "Aut"?

I'm looking through a list of bands with their country's initials after them (UK, US, Fin, Nor, etc), and can't figure out where Nld and Aut are.

[xAzagthothx]

i dont know much about Necrophagist, but i do have a bunch of songs and those guys sure know how to tear **** up. This muhammad you speak of, hes their guitar player, correct? yeah that guy shreds. my favorite moment is when they bust into the wicked melodic solo in "Fermented Offal Discharge" im listening to it right now... soo good!!

the bethledeign disc slays. its sooo good. i got me 5 stickers with it too!!

yeah, so today... on the way to practice, i acknowledged the fact that im a total Darkthrone junkie... im way hooked on "A Blaze In The Northern Sky"

music is sooooooo good!!!

[InTheDarkness]

eh, this is what ive been listening to a lot of lately:

Aborted
Decapitated
Dying Fetus
Immolation
Iniquity
Misery Index
Vehemence

or at least thats the death metal ive been listening to lately... ive also been listening to a lot of grindcore and a little thrash, but thats a differant story

[Stone Cold Metal-Head]

well ive been listenin to:

Six Feet Under
Flesh Crawl
Amon Amarth
Vader
Cannibal Corpse
Callenish Circle
Vehemence
Torchbearer

\m/

[Bartender]

or at least thats the death metal ive been listening to lately... ive also been listening to a lot of grindcore and a little thrash, but thats a differant story

Once you take the time to check out Necrophagist there's no turning back.

I will check them out if I have the chance.

[Bartender]

Yep, they are very good, and thanks (Ethan) for posting that video. It took me ages to watch, but it was really good.

[Morbid Pickle]

Both leaning towards Nu metal though these days.
They're not nu-metal, but they do suck now.

[LegionsofMarduk]

Since you gys are on such a kick for Necrophagist lately, check out Sinners Bleed as well. German brutal death. From Womb To Tomb is a really good album.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Sinners Bleed is class, also check out Spawn of Possession. Good fookin death metal.

Big69: That necrophagist album slays. Oh Baby, "Epitaph" comes out April 3rd!

[Corporal Compendia]

I hope you mean August 3rd.
Sinners Bleed are good... I got their album when it came out. I hope they decide to do something new soon.

[xAzagthothx]

heh... "Sinners Bleed" is the song that got me hooked on Entombed way back when... mmmmmm!!

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Ahh, your right. August third. I screwed up my months :p
The A's always get me.

[ninjamonkey]

so on that necrophagist album thats out, onset of putrefaction, is it only muhammed? is it a drum machine?

"Quote:

They're not nu-metal, but they do suck now."

what were you quoting?

[Corporal Compendia]

It's him and a drum machine yes.

[ninjamonkey]

that is THE best drum machine i have ever heard then. it must have taken about 1564830 years just to program in the beats and fills.

[Cardboard Headgear]

New Bloodbath album in the fall! Also, anyone here heard Ribspreader? I checked out a clip from their site, sounds pretty bitchin. Dan Swano on drums, which shouldn't be a suprise as he's on every freaking album from Sweden. Also, anyone heard Woods of Ypres? I've only heard A Meeting Place And Time, but I really, really, really like it and want to pick up the album in the near future.

[ninjamonkey]

yeah, woods of ypres is good. i have the dmeo. they have an album coming...

[KingNothing300]

Thought this post would do the best in in this thread.

This is a longshot but I was listening to Rock 105.3 tonight and they have death metal playing and I heard this really awesome song and the only way to describe it is that there were 2 solo's, fast double bass almost all the way through and I barely made out the bridge which had the singer screaming "Death will prevail!!!!!"

If no one knows the song, what are some really awesome death metal bands to get into? I'm just starting to enjoy it. Never cared for the vocal style but slowly I have been getting used to them and liking them.

All Shall Perish is AWESOME!!!!!! Why have I been missing all this good stuff?!?!?!?!

[big69]

Yep, they are very good, and thanks (Ethan) for posting that video. It took me ages to watch, but it was really good.

Sinners Bleed is class, also check out Spawn of Possession. Good fookin death metal.

Big69: That necrophagist album slays. Oh Baby, "Epitaph" comes out April 3rd!



Spawn of Posession are indeed good. And now I can't wait for Epitaph :D

[LordDargon]

Thought this post would do the best in in this thread.

This is a longshot but I was listening to Rock 105.3 tonight and they have death metal playing and I heard this really awesome song and the only way to describe it is that there were 2 solo's, fast double bass almost all the way through and I barely made out the bridge which had the singer screaming "Death will prevail!!!!!"

If no one knows the song, what are some really awesome death metal bands to get into? I'm just starting to enjoy it. Never cared for the vocal style but slowly I have been getting used to them and liking them.

All Shall Perish is AWESOME!!!!!! Why have I been missing all this good stuff?!?!?!?!

Fast double bass and 2 solos describes pretty much every death metal song in existence :p

Searching on google for that all I am able to find is Mystic Circle- Kingdom of Blasphemy.

Anyways here are my reccommendations:

Nile and Cannibal Corpse are the bands that got me into death metal

then

Cryptopsy (just their early stuff)
Necrophagist
Severed Savior
Sinners Bleed (they were just talking about them)
Suffocation
Demigod (excellent stuff)
Behemoth (early stuff: black metal, get their new album, "Zos Kia Cultus" it's blackened death and excellent :thumb:)
Vital Remains (just checked them out; sh.it their drummer is a MONSTER)

I won't give you too much seeing as

1. I don't know that much
2. Don't want to swamp you

[Toozey]

Please note the drums on Dechristanize by Vital Remains are fake, he didn't track them live, it was a copy and paste job.

[LordDargon]

Oh, that explains alot. I knew that drumming just couldn't be human.

[Toozey]

Mithras - Worlds Beyond The Veil has some extremely fast drumming, some of the fastest and that wasn't cheated, so check that out :thumb:

[lilpete86]

Nice plug tooz :p

[LordDargon]

heh heh. hey why do you hate me toozey :( I somehow stumbled across this thread in the Pit in which you and that "br3ad_man" guy said they hated me. But I hate the "br3ad_man" guy as well, so that's ok.

[Toozey]

Your a twat.

[LordDargon]

It's all so clear now! I see the light!


...come on, seriously.

[Toozey]

I was being serious.

[sensitiveorgan00]

Oh, that explains alot. I knew that drumming just couldn't be human.

Though Dave used Pro-Tools for the drums on that album, Tim Yeung had played with Vital Remains live, so I'm sure it is possible.

[Toozey]

I doubt it...the whole albums is looped so the feet as twice as fast and Dave is a faster drummer anyway...

[LegionsofMarduk]

If no one knows the song, what are some really awesome death metal bands to get into? I'm just starting to enjoy it. Never cared for the vocal style but slowly I have been getting used to them and liking them.

Look through the thread. There's hundreds of band suggestions.

I can't remember where I found it, but I stumbled on a video of Behemoth live the other day. It started with them playing Christians To The Lions and when I stopped watching it was playing Decade Of Therion. Now I can't find it again to download it.

[LordDargon]

I was being serious.

Then elaborate, you slipknot-loving poop. ( :p )

[ninjamonkey]

so they just recorded small bits of drums and then looped them for vital remains? or what?

[Toozey]

Then elaborate, you slipknot-loving poop. ( :p )

Why should I? I'm not going to waste my time telling you why your an idiot.

Oh dear, I like Slipknot, big deal! Does this make me any less of a fan of metal? No it doesn't. Does it make my opinions about music any less valid? No it doesn't.

Too bad jackass, you have successfully proved my point.

Actually, it does devalidate your opinions, becuase anyone who can enjoy slipknot has got to have their ears/brain fu.cked with in some way.

[xAzagthothx]

hey Tooz: i would really like you to elaborate on the drums of Vital Remains for that record. IM NOT AN IDIOT AM I???

come on people... who else loves Impaled Nazarene???? Ugra-Karma is sooooo one of the best black metal records ever.

Strange note: i had a dream last night. it was a Metal fest/pizza-pool party. we played... Locked In A Vacancy played....and they covered an Ancient Rites song "Fatherland" it was mad cool haha

[Toozey]

Actually, it does devalidate your opinions, becuase anyone who can enjoy slipknot has got to have their ears/brain fu.cked with in some way.

And your continuing to dig yourself into a deeper hole of idiocy.

I'm a Death/Thrash metal fan through and through but I'm not going forgot how I got here, Slipknot got me and most likely alot of other people into heavy music and for that I still give them a chance.

[Toozey]

hey Tooz: i would really like you to elaborate on the drums of Vital Remains for that record. IM NOT AN IDIOT AM I???


Dave played the drums on the album but its not humanly possible to play that fast through a whole song, he obviously has looped the drums to do so.

He is an awesome drummer regardless I just find it disappointing he did this. Regardless of all that Vital Remains are excellent.

[LordDargon]

meh, I was hoping you'd drop it. I will.

EDIT: *hole

Azagthoth:
"hey Tooz: i would really like you to elaborate on the drums of Vital Remains for that record. IM NOT AN IDIOT AM I???"

huh?

[lilpete86]

This is coming from someone who thinks that kreator - phobia is mallcore. I think you need your ears syringed sir.

[Toozey]

Yes indeed and thanks for seeing that typo Dargon, you may be deaf but at least you can see fine.

[sensitiveorgan00]

Just wondering, what instruments do you guys play?

/me plays drums.

[lilpete86]

I play guitar :)

[Toozey]

I play guitar and bass but I have a keen interest in drumming.

[lilpete86]

I play guitar and bass but I have a keen interest in drumming.

Isn't it just chair drumming :p

[Toozey]

Yes I am a chair drummer!!!

[LordDargon]

Toozey always posts and replies to posts quick enough, but the little thing in the corner always shows him as "offline". Whats up with that?

I play(ed) piano. HARDCORE \m/

[Toozey]

I'm a ninja.

[lilpete86]

Thats what that little thing is :amaze:


wow you learn somethin everyday

[superpeer]

I play guitar.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

I play guitar, piano and bass.


/me has front row seat for Dargon-Toozey fight.

On another note,
Does anyone know where i can download the filesharing program DC++?

[ninjamonkey]

i play guitar, drums, and am learning some keyboard. i used to play cello and trumpet. I also play the throat ;)

by chair drummign did you guys mean like playing drums but ona table or something?

[Toozey]

No you sit on a chair and drum onto another chair. The seat is the snare and the back is the cymbal, works best with computer chairs as they have plastc around the backs thus making the cymbal and the snare sound different.

You do the kicks with your feet and you just use the seat for toms and stuff.

That my friends is the art of chair drumming.

[Bartender]

senstive - I played piano and guitar, but don't play anything now. If I started again, it'd either be piano again cos I really liked it, or drums.

Per Ardua - www.dcplusplus.com

Dargon - you need to calm down on the bashing of anything less than metal. I listen to a whole lot of different styles of music (just finished listening to Kalmah, but now I'm listening to VNV Nation). For example(s), lilpete listens to Ludovici Einaudi, Legions listens to Eminem, Azagthoth has a thing for techno, and they're all great contributors to the thread. I like you, but you're something of a fascist when it comes to this.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Thanks Bartender.

Dargon, you need to be open, either that or leave. I know that there are several contributors to this thread (such as Bartender and I) who often visit the other music thread. Not all music other than metal is bad, so shut it.

[big69]

Slipknot is good. /omfgcontroversy

[Jondur]

Slipknot are sh1t. [/Closedmind but open ears]

I fail to see any musical benefit to be gained from this band. If they're what got you into metal, then fair enough - I still have a soft spot for Guns n Roses - but I can't imagine how anyone could be into extreme metal then get into Slipshod.

I can tolerate many forms of music (well mainly classical with some fusion) but when it comes to metal, only METAL will do. No djs, no rapping, no baggy pants, no "yo yo yo muthafcuka!" just honest music that draws straight from the masters. Unless I can see a line from Sabbath, through Maiden etc then it just doesn't feel right.

There are plenty of threads to discuss slacknuts or other forms of music - lets keep this one metal eh?

[Toozey]

Of course, I cannot control what that guy wants to talk about here.

[GraveRobbersINC]

I just got Death's Human album and I love it, I'm starting to like death metal a lot more these days and just thought I'd ask if anyone has Death's Live in L.A. DVD or VHS and how it is

[LordDargon]

DC++ is supposed to be hard to use. for geeks or somesuch. But then again it's also supposed to be the best to find full metal albums on. A guy I know uses it, this is what he told me.

EDIT: If I wasn't open-minded, I never would have gotten into extreme metal, eh? It's not like anyone I knew was coaxing me into it. Everyone I knew was opposing it, even my friends.

[lilpete86]

I've tried DC ++ and i find it impossible to use.

I'll just stick to good ol' soulseek :thumb:

[Bartender]

Yeah, I think DC++ is designed to be intimidating, it's not very user-friendly. It's much more for films and software than music, so I don't use it. Soulseek all the way.

[BeelzeBloke]

Hey y'all, I'm selling my Aria 6-string...
If anyone's interested there's info off this page: www.beelzebike.com
Just thought I'd see if anyone here wants it before I stick it on eBay...
I can ship it within the UK for around £15

Anyone want it??? Make me an offer!

[xoutofstepx83]

trouble behind
trouble ahead
the only good deadhead
is one that is dead

teen idles
thats some real music

[Toozey]

Yeah, I think DC++ is designed to be intimidating, it's not very user-friendly. It's much more for films and software than music, so I don't use it. Soulseek all the way.

I'd disagree, whilst people on DC++ share everything its mostly audio that is shared, well in music hubs at least :p

[superpeer]

Ah, Metal-archives is back up, it had been down for a few days.
I'm glad, it's really the best metal site I've encountered so far.

[Jondur]

Beelzebloke - there's a sh1tload a gigs this month in london town. You down for any?

First up for me is Desecration/Detrimentum on Sunday (6th) then Deicide/Akercocke on the 8th. Tons more though - Vader/Cancer on the 19th, Suffo-fcuking-cation on the 29th!!!, and most importantly my band and Unsilence and Iron Hearse on the 27th (note date change)

It's a good time to be in the smoke!

Tooz, Bartender and any other north-easterners - was up your way at the weekend - went into Newcastle and found a belting little record shop. Full of vinyl classics and blasting out Manowar! Cue sing a long with shop assistant and very weary looks from long-suffering girlfriend! Worth looking out for - it's on the way down to the Station

[Toozey]

I'll look out for that shop, I'm in Newcastle next week, metalcore gig!

[Bartender]

Jondur - Thanks, I'll look out for it next time I'm in Newcastle. I might go tomorrow actually, I just got some money, so naturally I'm looking for something to spend it on..

Toozey - Who're you going to see?

[Toozey]

Its Killswitch Engage, Chimaira, Shadows Fall and God Forbid.

I dont really want to go :(

[Bartender]

Why are you going then?

They're fairly popular, and hyped, bands. Maybe you could sell you ticket, if you really don't want to go.

[Toozey]

I dunno, someone asked me and it seemed like a good idea. Its not like anyone better comes up here.

[Bartender]

Good point, well made.

Stupid lack of decent bands :(

[lilpete86]

Jondur i've just heard the track strange horizons from the new reverand bizarre album. Can you recommend me some more stuff by them. Its pretty awesome stuff.

[Ve Das]

I´m coming back
I have returned!

I just got Nocturnus-Thresholds IN A STORE!!!

[BeelzeBloke]

Beelzebloke - there's a sh1tload a gigs this month in london town. You down for any?

Deicide-yes
Suffocation-yes
Vader-er, dunno. (£ :upset: )

BTW what's your band??

[Bartender]

BTW what's your band?

Since Jondur isn't online, I'll pimp for him.

The River (www.doomriver.co.uk)

[LordDargon]

The band have also now found a drummer, Jon, to complete the lineup, which means they can now start playing live.

Jondur is a rock star :D

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

The only reason that i want DC++ is because i've heard there are some clips of live Arcturus shows from this past year on there. I just can't figure out how to work the fookin thing

[lilpete86]

I think mine doesn't work because of my firewall. It won't let me get other peoples lists for some reason

[LordDargon]

Hey lilpete, whats with the avatar?

And HappyMarshmellow, if you're around, why did you take that nickname? It's pretty da.mn funny, regardless :lol:

[lilpete86]

I've had this avatar for ages. How come you've only just noticed it?

I dunno why i picked it. I thought it looked funny and went against my evil persona :p

[Bartender]

I think it's perfectly evil on it's own. Freaky little red and green baby, with four eyes and webbed feet? I'll keep my pentagrams, daemons and various other blasphemies, thank you.

[superpeer]

Mine is pretty evil as well I think.

Just look at the expression on the teacher's face, pure ****ing evil.

[LegionsofMarduk]

Direct Connect sucks IMO. I had it for a while. Most of the hubs that are even worth connecting to require you to share 10-20+ gig of stuff. So it's hard to get in the decent ones to begin with. And even if you do manage to get connected to one, it is very difficult to use. It just got be too much hassle. I'm not even sure if I've still got the program, but I don't use it. Soulseek all the way.

Toozey...Don't be too sure about the Killswitch/Shadows Fall gig. When I saw them last year with Cradle they both put on a good show. Even if you don't like their albums that much their live show alone is worth it.

[a8o]

Agreeed - DC is not worth the hassle when you can get most of everything elsewhere. Esp, with my crappy connection - I'm ALREADY faced with too much stuff to download, don't need any more...

[Jondur]

Jondur is a rock star :D

That's not a rock star quote - this is a rock star quote!!!!!:

"Drums are excellent! Jon (ex-Unsilence – one more DOOM overlord!) uses much percussion and with his march-like playing fills their sound exactly like he should."

from Behind The Veil webzine (http://www.geocities.com/behind_the_veil2001/d1.html)

lilpete: Reverend Bizarre are ace. The best album is still probably the first one "In the Rectory of the Reverend Bizarre" but "Harbinger of Metal" (a 74 minute EP!!) is cool. Both albums are readily available. try http://www.slowmomusic.com/

[lilpete86]

Cheers jondur i'll check them out :thumb:

[Bartender]

Are all of Kalmah's albums as good as Swampsong?

[ninjamonkey]

haha, tooz, your only going just caus eyou feel liek goign to a show?

how can an EP be 74 minutes? doesnt that go against the purpose of an EP and what an EP is?

how did we get started on DC++ anyway

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

I brought up DC++

Anyone know where i can hear some Fleurety? I've heard good things.

[Toozey]

haha, tooz, your only going just caus eyou feel liek goign to a show?


Yeah, I think I'm going to do some Mithras flyers or something, get these kids into something awesome.

[Jondur]

how can an EP be 74 minutes? doesnt that go against the purpose of an EP and what an EP is?



Interestingly, there is no time limit to an EP. The only rule is that an album has to be over 23 minutes. They called it an EP because (aside from all the band members being a few eggs short of a dozen) it didn't fit into their concept for their albums so they said it was a stop gap release - an aside from their albums.

Reverend Bizarre also released a great split record with Orodruin (another excellent doom band for you to check out) which is well worth trying to get if you're a vinyl fan.

NP Ominous "Void of Infinity" - If you're a Meshuggah or At The Gates fan then you should check this out!

[Bartender]

I always thought an EP was determined by number of tracks rather than length (on CD anyway).

[Ve Das]

a combo of Meshuggah and At The Gates?

Sounds interesting enough to check out :)

[LordDargon]

I beleive someone here told me to check out Immolation, anyways I downloaded "Father You're not a father" and I really liked it. Alot of emotion it seemed, especially for death metal where the only emotion ya usually hear is anger and hatred. and sometimes necrophilia. heh. Anyways I will be getting more of this! Right after I get more Demigod!

[Toozey]

So what emotions are Immolation conveying then?

[LegionsofMarduk]

Are all of Kalmah's albums as good as Swampsong?

All 3 of their albums are excellent. I think if I was forced to pick a favorite I'd say They Will Return. But they're all really good.

[Bartender]

Looks like I'll be ordering some Kalmah albums then.

I beleive someone here told me to check out Immolation, anyways I downloaded "Father You're not a father" and I really liked it. Alot of emotion it seemed, especially for death metal where the only emotion ya usually hear is anger and hatred. and sometimes necrophilia. heh. Anyways I will be getting more of this! Right after I get more Demigod!

The vast majority of Immolation's songs are hateful tirades against Jesus and Christianity, so apart from the lack of necrophilia I can't see what else you're picking up on. Continue to pick up on it though; Immolation are awesome.

[lilpete86]

I do love immolation too but there sort the sort of band i need to be in the mood for to listen

[LordDargon]

The vast majority of Immolation's songs are hateful tirades against Jesus and Christianity, so apart from the lack of necrophilia I can't see what else you're picking up on. Continue to pick up on it though; Immolation are awesome.

I found that particular song depressing, in the slow parts, especially around the part near the end when he says "Why father, Why father" Lyrical content is certainly depressing and disturbing. and true, which makes it so much worse.

The blastbeat sections were pissed though :D

[Toozey]

If you like Immolation check out Throne Of Nails

[LordDargon]

wow, Ninjatooz replies in a flash

will do

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

So, a friend of mine has talked to the keyboardist from Blood Stained Dusk alot. Well, my friend convinced him to send him the unreleased EP "Continuance of Evil."
All New Blood Stained Dusk, unreleased. I am currently in possession of it, and it is class. Unlike "Dirge of Death's Silence." it's less like Emperor yet still maintaining that same symphonic black metal feel. It's awesome.
:)

[Jondur]

If you like Immolation check out Throne Of Nails

Throne of Nails were plain Morbid Angel worship. They were a good band if unoriginal but they were miles better live than on CD (your mate Leon Macy used to do second guitar for em). I saw them loads of times and used to just gawp at the guitarists fingers flying all over the place. Basically imagine if Trey Azagthoth was doing the vocals as well!

Also amusing cos a chap I knew from Bradford, who was a lovely chap, always smiling and joking joined them on bass and turned into some evil demon! No more smiles just scowls and grimaces!

As for EP/Number of songs - you should check out some grind EPs - some of them have 40 odd songs!

[lilpete86]

40 songs for an EP :eek:

[LordDargon]

I downloaded (most of) Morbid Angel - Covenant yesterday, it's awesome, what other MA albums should I get?

Any Bolt Thrower fans?

[lilpete86]

Download formulas and altars of madeness next. There awesome :thumb:

[Jondur]

Blessed are the Sick is THE Morbid Angel album.

As for Bolt Thrower .... In battle there is no laaaaawwwww!

[lilpete86]

Could you recommend me some bolt thrower. All i've heard is cenotaph

[Jondur]

The IVth Crusade is class mid-paced death metal. What you really want to find is The Peel sessions. If you've got a record player have a scan on ebay - classic stuff.

[LordDargon]

...For Victory is good. That's the album "Remembrance" is on and it rocks

[lilpete86]

The only record player in the house is my old mans £1000 linn turntable. Doubt i'd get to use that :upset: I wish i could play vinyl

[Bartender]

^Provided you don't wanna do anything flashy (like anything other than playing vinyl), you should be able to pick up a player fairly cheaply second hand.


As for EP/Number of songs - you should check out some grind EPs - some of them have 40 odd songs!
Yeah, soon after I posted I remembered Anal Cunt's 5764 (or whatever) Song EP, and figured grind pretty much destroys my idea.

[superpeer]

Yeah, but the anal cunt songs I've heard barely pass the 1 minute mark.


By the way I've just borrowed the Probot album from my friend. I'm curious on how it's gonna sound. I've only heard a couple of songs before, but I can't really remember them very well.

[Ve Das]

I know where to download "Blessed Are The Sick" :)

[Toozey]

Just about every p2p program.

[Ve Das]

http://my.execpc.com/3A/AF/carlton/mp3s/Morbid%20Angel/

^and here ;)

[xAzagthothx]

Each Morbid Angel record is astonishingly brilliant and on par with each other record except, in my humble Morbid Angel junkiefanatic opinion, Domination and Heretic.

The other albums are simply brilliantly crafted masterpieces in their own unique way:

Altars of Madness - the original blast beating evil death metal... with hints of thrash and old school black metal

Blessed Are The Sick - a growth from the style of Altars while adopting a distincly bizarre, yet highly prog-like song craft

Covenant - a change from the off-the-wall thrashy prog songcraft into a more focused, speedy Florida Death Metal record, highly influential of black metal speed feeling. Also introduced on this record were the 7 string guitars, which brought a whole new dimension to the sound.

Formulas - the death metal record to end all death metal records. It is hard to sum up the magnitude of transcendental magnificence that this record encapsulates. It is the gateway to that beyond.

Gateways - picked up where Formulas left off but slowed down a lot of the material and had a more focused spiritual/philosophical vision of what the songs were trying to get across



whoooo

[sensitiveorgan00]

^ NICE. Thanks a lot Ve Das. Anymore albums that are available?

[LordDargon]

Covenant - a change from the off-the-wall thrashy prog songcraft into a more focused, speedy Florida Death Metal record, highly influential of black metal speed feeling. Also introduced on this record were the 7 string guitars, which brought a whole new dimension to the sound.

7 Strings, that would explain the detuned sound. And also the fact that they probably detuned their guitars. heh heh heh.

So looks like I should just get the first 4. That's alot of MA :-/

[LegionsofMarduk]

So, a friend of mine has talked to the keyboardist from Blood Stained Dusk alot. Well, my friend convinced him to send him the unreleased EP "Continuance of Evil."

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I WANT IT!!! NOW!!!!!!! Blood Stained Dusk has to be about my favorite US black metal band. Ace material all around. Tell you friend to convince the band to TOUR! Specifically...around me!

[ninjamonkey]

jeez whats up with all these guys banned? jondor? toozey? lilpete? all banned
