any other death heads?

[superpeer]

Melodeath is the same thing as Melodic Death.

Gothenburg is just a particular sound in the melodic death metal genre.

[Stoic]

god, this thread is spreading like a fire! i hope you're all doing well :). I havent listened to any music the previous week but I read the da vinci code (to be honest there are still 50 pages left). It's incredible and it has certainly change the way I see things. Has any of you checked it out? It has also references to various things a metaller is familiar with such as the pentagram and other symbols, Malleus Maleficarum (pestilence) and even the god Baphomet :)

[LordDargon]

How is Malleus Maleficarum? Corporal Compendia recommends it, and I guess his opinion is as good as any on death and thrash...

[Cardboard Headgear]

Anyone in here heard Calvarium? I downloaded a couple of songs, it's **** fine stuff from what I've heard.

[Mekkalayakay]

Is that new Cryptopsy gonna hurry up and leak soon, or what?

I completely forgot about new Cryptopsy. :eek:

November 12th 2004 : U.S. Tour 2005

The Canadian Tour ended last week-end in Trois-Rivieres after 30 shows throughout the country. New dates were added in the United States and Cryptopsy will be playing in 2 festivals after this tour, the band will be in the U.S. from February to May 2005. Check out the Tour section for all the details. In the meantime, Cryptopsy is focussing on the new album and the production of 2 DVDs; October 9th's concert in Montreal and Flo Mounier's Instructional Drum Video, they will be available next year.
-cryptopsy.net


Doesn't sound like they are moving to fast with it. :-/

[Toozey]

I don't even think they have recorded the new album.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

It's alright, because i get to see them live.

[Mekkalayakay]

Lucky bastard.

[sensitiveorgan00]

It's alright, because i get to see them live.

Get tickets yet?

Anyone here know the band Oathean? They're a melodic black/death metal band from South Korea, and I was lucky enough to find their album "The Eyes of Tremendous Sorrow" on Soulseek. So far, it's good stuff. :thumb:
What are some of other Asian bands that you guys know of?

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Get tickets yet?

Not yet, plus i'm probably seeing Transiberian Orchestra in December \m/

[Mekkalayakay]

I'm kind of confused about why it took me so long to check out Borknagar. This band is amazing.

[Mekkalayakay]

Anybody like Disillusion? I guess they are death metal, but fused with a good dose of prog.

[Corporal Compendia]

I just wanted to say that Immolation rules. It's crucial that, trolls aside, 100% of this thread understands that.

[ninjamonkey]

Damn, I'm getting all confused with these genre names. I know the difference between Gothenburg Melodic Death, and just Melodic Death. So Melodeath means Gothenburg? I'm confused. Why isn't Melodeath the same thing as Melodic Death?
You were right. Melodetah = Gothenburg. Melodic Death = Death Metal that is melodic.

Melodeath is the same thing as Melodic Death.

Gothenburg is just a particular sound in the melodic death metal genre.
Thats what I used to think, but I was wrong. Melodeath is actually a name for gothenburg while melodic death is just death metal that is melodic.

Yes, I know Oathean. I have that album too. Other asian bands I know: Sad Legend (black metal like Oathean. I like them more than Oathean), Sorrow of Tranquility (melodeath), Intestine Baalism (melodic death. ridiculously good)

Anybody like Disillusion? I guess they are death metal, but fused with a good dose of prog.
Yes, I do.

[ninjamonkey]

Is there any Deicide album worth checking out?

[Corporal Compendia]

^^^ The self-titled and Legion... after them, watch out.

[Bartender]

Jondur swears by the self-titled, I think.

I just wanted to say that Immolation rules. It's crucial that, trolls aside, 100% of this thread understands that.

I understand that.

[xizoesira]

I just wanted to say that Immolation rules. It's crucial that, trolls aside, 100% of this thread understands that.

Personally, I'm not convinced. :/

[Corporal Compendia]

Then that means I have some convincing to do.

Tell me xizoesira, WHAT Immolation songs/albums have you heard at this very point in time?

[xizoesira]

To be honest, I'm not sure. I think I've heard mainly Here In After.

Help me, doctor!

[headbanger4life]

children of bodom
lamb of god
slayer
deicide
dimmu borgir
:thumb:

[Corporal Compendia]

Well, therein lies the problem. That's a good album, but not the best, and definitely not the most accessible, though none of are really that...accessible. The obvious step/cure would be for you to buy or download the album "Close to a World Below" and listen to it on and endless rotation for approximately 3.8 weeks. Then do the same for "Unholy Cult"... You'll be a changed person.

[ninjamonkey]

haha, why 3.8 weeks?

[Corporal Compendia]

Human studies and experimentation shows that it takes about 3.8 weeks of listening to something for it to really soak into the mind.

Really!

......Of course, that's just bull****... in reality, it seemed like a nice number.

[sensitiveorgan00]

Yes, I know Oathean. I have that album too. Other asian bands I know: Sad Legend (black metal like Oathean. I like them more than Oathean), Sorrow of Tranquility (melodeath), Intestine Baalism (melodic death. ridiculously good)


Yeah, I just downloaded Sad Legend and Searching For the Hope in Utter Darkness, finally. I've always wanted to find more Sad Legend since last year. This is good stuff. I've heard some Intestine Baalism as well, which was pretty good, though I need to hear more.

NP: Sad Legend - "Han"

[ninjamonkey]

What are the infamous studios metal bands have recorded at?

Is it Sunlight Studios in Sweden? Theres also a big one in Florida right?

[Cardboard Headgear]

Morrisound Studios is the Florida one.

[NJMetalMeister]

Some new news on the front: the new novembers doom album is now completely recorded and mixed, its on its way to be mastered right now. Apparently there is a guest spot of our favorite Mr. Swanö in one song too. Should be excellent.

[Cardboard Headgear]

Frankly I don't see how Swano is able to work a day job with all the stuff he does. It seems like professional bands have more downtime than that guy.

NP - Paatos:Look At Us

swano has made an amazing contribution to metal. people often compare him to tägtgren. jesper stromblad deserves that kind of recognition as well.

Stromblad's resume

Only original member of In Flames
drums in sinergy
bass in ceremonial oath
guitar and bass in dimesion zero with jock goteburg of marduk
drums in HAMMERFALL.

[Corporal Compendia]

^^^^ Swano's and Tagtgren's resumes are about 88833232.666x longer and better than Stromblad's. I don't like anything he's been in.

Bartender, Hollenthon rules. I can't decide which album I like more... I heard something about a new album being done for next year, but I can't find any sources on it... With that said, I'm still dying to get the new Pungent Stench.

[ninjamonkey]

You all need to hear Demigod. Not the album. The Band.

[Bartender]

Bartender, Hollenthon rules. I can't decide which album I like more... I heard something about a new album being done for next year, but I can't find any sources on it... With that said, I'm still dying to get the new Pungent Stench.

I've only heard Domus Mundi, and it's great. I've heard one song from the second album (courtesy of Jondur). Sounds a lot more symphonic and bombastic than Domus Mundi. Good though.

[Stoic]

guess what! I found gorguts-two from the vault (considered dead & erosion of sanity) today :)...Yay!

[MetalNightBodomNight]

^^^^ Swano's and Tagtgren's resumes are about 88833232.666x longer and better than Stromblad's. I don't like anything he's been in.



Tägtgren produces as well and he's done alot for hypocrisy, pain, the abyss, and lockup, and bloodbath. Swano, i'm much less familiar with but i know he's done alot from edge of sanity to katatonia. as for better i don't know about that.

[superpeer]

Thats what I used to think, but I was wrong. Melodeath is actually a name for gothenburg while melodic death is just death metal that is melodic.

Well that's just awfully confusing, I'll just stick to Melodic Death Metal.

[Corporal Compendia]

You all need to hear Demigod. Not the album. The Band.

Slumber of Sullen Eyes is fantastic. The other one, what is it? Shadow Mechanics?... Well it ain't so great...

[xizoesira]

Demigod's vocalist is amazing/ly low.

[Mekkalayakay]

Downloading Demigod as we speak.

[Mekkalayakay]

Everyone needs to check out this band: Burning Inside

I only found out about them because Richard Christy is the drummer. (ex-Death, ex-Iced Earth, etc)

http://www.richardchristy.com/burninginside/disco.htm

You can only get 30 second clips at this site, I've been looking for full downloads for quite some time now... And I've been trying Soulseek for ages.

All the songs off Eve of Entities are awesome, haven't listened to the Apparition ones yet.



Christy is a beast...


edit: I've listened to songs from Apparition, and the songs are just as good as the stuff from Eve of the Entities.

Also check the front page. 2 demos you can download from their new upcoming album.

[ninjamonkey]

Slumber of Sullen Eyes is fantastic. The other one, what is it? Shadow Mechanics?... Well it ain't so great...

Indeed. I've only heard Slumber of Sullen Eyes, not the other one.

[bassaholica2004]

Anyone heard of this band called Bloodwritten? They're pretty good, they're a Brutal DM band with BM vocals. They are pretty technical too, which is another plus. I can't find 'em on Soulseek though, which sucks. Their website has a few MP3's and a live video for free. I suggest you check 'em out.

[Toozey]

Well that's just awfully confusing, I'll just stick to Melodic Death Metal.

Yeah, good idea and to be honest I've never seen anyone use "Melodeath" as a genre before.

[NJMetalMeister]

ive used the term melodeath, but just because im too friggin lazy sometimes to type out the whole thing.

For example: "Hey man you should check out Omnium Gatherum, they are pretty good melodeath from finalnd"

[xizoesira]

I got Immolation's Close to a World Below, but it's too late now to get into heavy music. I'll start my 3.8 week rotation tomorrow. :P

[LordDargon]

You all need to hear Demigod. Not the album. The Band.
I have the title track of Slumber, it's uber good. I don't know why I haven't got the album...?



Oh yeah, and I'm a little late but IMMOLATION ****ING SLAY \m/

[Corporal Compendia]

Yeah, good idea and to be honest I've never seen anyone use "Melodeath" as a genre before.

Neither have I. Not as a whole genre anyways... just as a shortform for melodic death metal.

[ATSvox]

check out my band, we're metal www.purevolume.com/allthesame

[Moldiver]

Not bad

Cheak us out Arakacian (http://www.arakacian.cjb.net/) got a track in sounds page, is kinda rough:) kinda death/black metal :naughty:

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Both of you should be thrown off the face of the earth for disgracing this thread.

[Magicaltroll]

hey, can anyone help me out by telling me which meshuggah cd i should get?
i already have chaosphere but i didnt really like it much.
but ive heard ALOT od meshuggah songs i like but i dont know their names so i dont know what album to get......
well anyways thanks in advance for anyhelp

[Bartender]

The only Meshuggah "album" I've any time for is I. Nothing else holds my attention so much.

Is that the first use of :naughty: in this thread?

[Moldiver]

Nope im sure ive used it before in this thread,
anyone heard sunn 0))) i see there playing here soon ive herad stuff about their music like how low it is but never been able to find anything about them.

[Toozey]

Meshuggah - Get The None EP, Destroy Erase Improve, I and Nothing

[Moldiver]

Going to see Deicide on thursday should be a good gig there being supported by man must die if yous can find any of their stuff check em out there really good.

[TyrannaTorrence]

Try listening to some good music like Green Day and Eminem

[sensitiveorgan00]

Try listening to some good music like Green Day and Eminem
Listen to this man.

Anyone planning to attend any (extreme) metal shows soon?

[Dark Hero]

Old Deicide is good. Does anyone hear know what Deicide means? You get + Rep if you know.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

CRYPTOPSY!

I don't like Meshuggah.

EDIT: Deicide means to kill a god.

I think.

[Bartender]

It's not a verb, but that's the general idea.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

I think i get the rep points anyway.

[sensitiveorgan00]

Deicide: The act of killing a being of a divine nature; particularly, the putting to death of Jesus Christ.

[XoListenen]

I am going to see Deicide next Sunday in Bristol supported by Arkhon Infaustus and "guests", who these are I would love to know and yea, I think Deicide means killing of a god.
Also on march the 8th Nile, necrophagist and Dying fetus are playing in London, and that something I can't miss.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Also on march the 8th Nile, necrophagist and Dying fetus are playing in London, and that something I can't miss.

I hate you.

[Dark Hero]

+ Rep

[XoListenen]

I hate you.


:lol: I cannot wait. Nile AND Necrophagist AND dying fetus :thumb:

[sensitiveorgan00]

I hate you.
Did you know Arcturus is also playing in London? :amaze:

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Did you know Arcturus is also playing in London?

Yeah.

And they are playing with Enslaved. Gah.

[Ihsahn]

I'm going to Satyricon on the 15th of December, possibly Kataklysm and Necronomicon on the 16th, maybe Suffocation in February. Also, April 8th = Vader, Kreator and Death Angel at The Opera House for the Enemy of God tour!

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Is Joey Jordison still playing Satyricon?

[Ihsahn]

Yeah, he's with them for all north american dates, so the show will be filled with little Slipknot kiddies :(

[King]

What, and sell out? :lol:

lol :)

[Shadows]

I'll be very much surpised if it is. Most of them will probably be too afraid to go to a black metal show anyway. But if it is, may the unholy god have mercy on your soul.

[bassaholica2004]

I'm going to Satyricon on the 15th of December, possibly Kataklysm and Necronomicon on the 16th, maybe Suffocation in February. Also, April 8th = Vader, Kreator and Death Angel at The Opera House for the Enemy of God tour!

Where's Suffocation playing? I'll be off probation by then, and I'll finally be able to go to shows.

[Ihsahn]

I believe it is also at The Opera House.

[xizoesira]

I'm going to Satyricon on the 15th of December, possibly Kataklysm and Necronomicon on the 16th, maybe Suffocation in February. Also, April 8th = Vader, Kreator and Death Angel at The Opera House for the Enemy of God tour!

Mmm, Kataklysm is one of my favorites of the moment.

[MetalNightBodomNight]

Yeah, he's with them for all north american dates, so the show will be filled with little Slipknot kiddies :(


**** shame satyricon has joey jordison instead of trym like last time. trym is ****ing awesome.

[Bartender]

I'm looking into going to see Arcturus. If it comes down to that or Dying Fetus/Nile/Necrophagist though, I think I'd rather go to the latter.

[ninjamonkey]

Alright, heres the genre thing again. Power metal influenced by death (like most of the "gothenburg" bands like In Flames, etc.) is called "melo-death." Death metal influenced by power (like Intestine Baalism and Arghoslent) is called melodic death metal. It just depends what the most dominant aspects of the music are. Whether they are more on the death side or more on the melody side.

[xizoesira]

I'm looking into going to see Arcturus. If it comes down to that or Dying Fetus/Nile/Necrophagist though, I think I'd rather go to the latter.

With that choice I'd pick Arcturus.

But if you replaced Dying Fetus with Vital Remains or Nile with Lykathea Aflame...

[ninjamonkey]

haha, Lykathe's isn't gunna play anywhere live.

[xizoesira]

Why's that?

[ninjamonkey]

They are recording a new album. Plus they have different members now than they did when they recorded Elvenefris so who knows what they would play if they did play live.

[Terminal Spirit]

They are recording a new album. Plus they have different members now than they did when they recorded Elvenefris so who knows what they would play if they did play live.

Apparently the newest album has already been recorded in September or October. Lykathea Aflame did play live once at Obscene Extreme in the Czech Republic. I believe it was in 2002.

And melodic death metal isn't the same thing as death metal influenced by power metal. Heartwork by Carcass is melodic death metal, and it wasn't influenced by power metal.

[Jondur]

I'm looking into going to see Arcturus. If it comes down to that or Dying Fetus/Nile/Necrophagist though, I think I'd rather go to the latter.

I'm at both of those. Beers in the World's end before hand?

[Nalphe]

talk about satyricon, any fans of them here?
and joey's wearing mask while playing w/ them?

[lilpete86]

Marduk playing britain next year :cool:

[LegionsofMarduk]

I hate all of you European people right now. Necrophagist, Arcturus etc etc. Probably none of them will come to the states. And even if they do they probably won't come anywhere around me. :upset:

Do you guys know when the new Lykathe albums is going to be released?

[lilpete86]

And rotting christ are playing next year :cool:

[manuscriptreplica]

It would be interesting to see how well Muhammed could play guitar and sing at the same time

[sickgoregrind]

Marduk playing britain next year :cool:

Venues? Support?

No news of a support yet though

[LegionsofMarduk]

Marduk still isn't going to tour the US. :mad:

Nothing to add really. I'm just bored out of my skull at work. I hate the group I'm in now. I'm doing a bunch of project work. What the **** did I go to college and get a DESIGN degree for!? I'm going to try to get out of this group. I've been here for about 4-1/2 years. I did the same work that the senior designers did. I even checked work for a couple of the senior designers. Now that I'm in this crap group though I'm doing little piss on things. meh...work vent done.

NP: Vital Remains - Dechristianize :thumb:

[HappyMarshmellow]

Hey guys... for those who are curious, an update on my condition:

The reason why I don't post that often anymore is that my house got ruined a few months back. The internet went with it, so now I can only post at school, and only for a few minutes at a time.

Hopefully I'll be recording a demo within a few months with my group Genocide Apocalypse, and if things don't go well with that then I'll probably call it quits with that whole band and go with Convicted To Die, another friends group.

At least CTD get things done.

[Toozey]

I remember when you liked Mudvayne.

[LordDargon]

DECHRISTIANIIIIIIIIIIZE *great leads in background*
DECHRISTIANIIIIIIIIIIIIIIZE

Yeah, I remember about that HappyMarshmellow, them da.mn workers flooded your room or something?

I still do.

I remember listening to LD50 just the other day, and their old album (Kill, I Oughtta).

Yeah, those stupid dominican workers came over here and messed up my house... I hope their firstborn sons die a terrible death.

Yeah, I'm guessing you've seen the live mpeg version of Extreme Unction then. It is perfect.

[Bartender]

^That's a very good video, though the one I've got is Quicktime.

With that choice I'd pick Arcturus.

But if you replaced Dying Fetus with Vital Remains or Nile with Lykathea Aflame...

I'm just more interested in seeing Necrophagist, plus I know them better than I do Arcturus.

[Bartender]

I'm at both of those. Beers in the World's end before hand?

If I end up going to Arcturus. For Dying Fetus/Nile/Necrophagist, I'll be in Leeds.

[Deathcrush]

I think I may start posting in here a bit more, I hardly ever do.

[LordDargon]

Yep. I don't know anything about BM though.

Do you like Ulver - Nattens Madrigal? Been listening to that alot lately, it's great.

[superpeer]

If we're talking about upcoming gigs: I might go to Dark Tranquillity with Kreator.

Also Axamenta and a bunch of other Belgian metal bands.

[ninjamonkey]

It would be interesting to see how well Muhammed could play guitar and sing at the same time

Well, it's not like he hasn't played live before. I'm sure if he couldn't do it, he wouldnt play live. heh

And melodic death metal isn't the same thing as death metal influenced by power metal. Heartwork by Carcass is melodic death metal, and it wasn't influenced by power metal.
No, not all. And I more meant "melody" than "power."

You all should listen to Holymarsh.

[LegionsofMarduk]

I think I may start posting in here a bit more, I hardly ever do.

Is black metal discussion acceptable here?

Pretty much any type of extreme metal. Death, black, doom...all ok.

[ninjamonkey]

I heard the new Opeth leaked yesterday. But now apparently its leaking tomorrow. Has anyone else heard this?

[LordDargon]

Everyone listen to Intestine Baalism, ninjamonkey is right, they are incredible :eek:

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Muhammid is a machine live.

Ulver owns.

Legions, i'm with you. European Tours>America.

That Sucks Frank.

[ninjamonkey]

oh yeah

And melodic death metal isn't the same thing as death metal influenced by power metal. Heartwork by Carcass is melodic death metal, and it wasn't influenced by power metal.
Theres quite a bit of Iron Maiden influence in heartwork. Just listen to This Mortal Coil as a prime example.
Someone I know even just called Heartwork melo-death rather than melodic death, but I think that's a bit extreme.

[PimpinTheStrat]

Any body heard of The Black Dahlia Murder?

[Silenius]

Marduk still isn't going to tour the US. :mad:

I don't think they can, trouble with their passports or visas or something. Well, at least Marduk have a new CD out. :)

I don't think they can, trouble with their passports or visas or something. Well, at least Marduk have a new CD out. :)

Yeah. They were in the process of organizing a US tour with Danzig but after 9/11 they couldn't get their passports stamped. I guess they tried getting someone at the US consulate to help them, but never got any phone calls returned.

playing your own songs would be easier than covering at the gates. if you're going to do melo death covers in flames or arch enemy are the only easy ones.

[Mekkalayakay]

Everyone needs to check out this band: Burning Inside

I only found out about them because Richard Christy is the drummer. (ex-Death, ex-Iced Earth, etc)

http://www.richardchristy.com/burninginside/disco.htm

You can only get 30 second clips at this site, I've been looking for full downloads for quite some time now... And I've been trying Soulseek for ages.

All the songs off Eve of Entities are awesome, haven't listened to the Apparition ones yet.



Christy is a beast...


edit: I've listened to songs from Apparition, and the songs are just as good as the stuff from Eve of the Entities.

Also check the front page. 2 demos you can download from their new upcoming album.


Bump.....No interest?

[6COF6ATG6]

playing your own songs would be easier than covering at the gates. if you're going to do melo death covers in flames or arch enemy are the only easy ones.
arch enemy cant be that easy what with all the guitar solo's
then again i play drums so i wouldn't have to worry about it

[fuzzy`]

what about 12 seconds of rage?

[MetalNightBodomNight]

arch enemy cant be that easy what with all the guitar solo's
then again i play drums so i wouldn't have to worry about it


but that is just the solos at the gates especially on with fear i kiss the burning darkness has completely different guitar harmonies anders and alf barely ever played in unison on that album and i loved it. stuff off of slaughter of the soul would be the easiest at the gates i could think of. the solos are a little more complex then the rest of their stuff though.

[6COF6ATG6]

alright well i'll talk to the rest of my friends and see where they want to take this whole band idea. basically they're all preatty good at the instruments they play and i've only been playing drums a little while i really only know how to do basic stuff but my double pettaling is preatty decent

[MetalNightBodomNight]

couple more notes on arch enemy.
1. christopher is acutally the better soloist of the two. stop worshiping michael for carcass.
2. i saw the dead eyes see no future video and i was pissed off. the reason is that angela was really the only one the camera was getting chris or mike does a solo and the camera is on angela doing a poor excuse for headbanging. i realizer arch enemy became much more popular when angela joined for wages of sin but i think band could easily have reached the same prominence with johan liiva. all they did was start showing videos... opinions?

[6COF6ATG6]

i agree although i dont like angela better than johan, but i dont like johan better than angela. i like all there stuff.(but nearly as much as at the gates)

[MetalNightBodomNight]

yes all of arch enemy's work is quality anthems was a dissappointment though.

[Toozey]

Angela loses, Johan wins.

Chris is an awesome guitarist, Michael is not.

At The Gates are more easy to play then you'd think.

[MetalNightBodomNight]

At The Gates are more easy to play then you'd think.

maybe on your own but a whole band is a different thing. the transistions would be hard as ****.

[ninjamonkey]

I hate it how they zoom in on the guitarist playing the solo, and then angela steps in front of him.

[MetalNightBodomNight]

I hate it how they zoom in on the guitarist playing the solo, and then angela steps in front of him.


yes, angela is a camera whore and is ruining arch enemy. if she hasn't already.

[craggyisland]

Angela loses, Johan wins.

Chris is an awesome guitarist, Michael is not.

At The Gates are more easy to play then you'd think.
This post wins. Burning Bridges (and everything in the Liiva days) was fantastic, Anthems of Rebellion was really not. Wages of Sin had its moments, but would have been better with Liiva on vocals, definitely.

[xizoesira]

I like newer Arch Enemy just as much as the old.

[funk_metalguitarist]

I personally like Angela's vocals more then Johan's, but yeah I agree Arch Enemy went downhill after losing Johan.

[Stubb (a dubb)]

This is more of a discussion than a question.

[Jondur]

well done for winning the "I'm gay and know nothing" award.

Decapitated are second-rate Vader clones. They've become popular through marketing and a decent live show. Your username gives you away. No doubt you'll recommend some Six Feet Under next.

New Slaughter website www.slaughter.ca with some ace rare mp3's.

[LordDargon]

How are Monstrosity? I heard Fisher used to be in them.

NP Incantation - Golgotha

This band reminds me of Immolation.

[MetalNightBodomNight]

vader is far better than decapitated. decapitated was just more marketable. vader dosen't nearly get the respect they deserve as the premiere polish metal band. vader also made a sick live dvd.

[xizoesira]

Dargon - I was in class when you messaged me on soulseek - to answer your question, Grimfist are death/thrash (and very good).

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Grimfist are meh.

[bassaholica2004]

Anyone know of any sites that have free videos? Live videos would be better. I'm bored and broke, and its late anyways.

[Bartender]

DiGiorgio's site has some little live clips.

http://www.stevedigiorgio.com/music.html

Sean Malone's has a live video of Veil of Maya.

http://www.seanmalone.net/Video/index.html

If you search this thread, Ethan posted a link a while back to a live video of Extreme Unction by Necrophagist. Not sure if it's still up, though.

That's all I can think of right now, and I've a feeling you'll know these already.

[bassaholica2004]

Nope, I didn't. Thanks man. Hopefully these will keep me occupied for a few more hours now.

Whoa, I just watched that first video, Dynamo, and their bassist is ****ing crazy!

[lilpete86]

I met jack owen and dave suzuki last night :cool:

[LordDargon]

vader is far better than decapitated. decapitated was just more marketable. vader dosen't nearly get the respect they deserve as the premiere polish metal band. vader also made a sick live dvd.
I think Decapitated get alot of hype becuase they were so da.mn young when they recorded Winds of Creation, but they are still a great band and don't sound like Vader rip-offs to me.

Looks like I'll have to check out Monstrosity myself :p

[HappyMarshmellow]

Vader and Decapitated make me proud to be of Polish heritage

Man, about Monstrosity, I had a perfect chance to go see them a year or two ago when they came here but I had to go to a stupid cancer march instead... You can't fight cancer by marching, numbnuts! WTF! I want to go to Monstrosity instead! Raaagh!

[Vitriolic Rage]

I'm going to see Nile in March, can't ****ing wait!

[HappyMarshmellow]

Good to see you again, Vitriol

[XoListenen]

I'm going to see Nile in March, can't ****ing wait!


Same here. Can you purchace tickets yet?

[Vitriolic Rage]

Good to see you again, Vitriol
Hi.
To the guy who said can you purchase tickets yet, I don't know, it depends what venue you go to I suppose.
I'm gonna go have a look at Joseph's Well tomorrow, find out more about it.

[LordDargon]

Revenant are so great, why didn't anyone tell me about them earlier?

[superpeer]

Listening to the new enthroned now, they are superb !

How many here have heard Morgion?

[Dark Hero]

I've heard of them.

[Ihsahn]

How many here have heard Morgion?

Saw em live and have two albums of theirs... Solinari and Cloaked by Ages, Crowned in Earth. Good stuff, although their live tone could have used some tweaking I think.

[MetalNightBodomNight]

that's it, thanks for correcting me.

It was really trebly and piercing when distorted... because their distortion sources were Boss MT-2s... and the clean sound was kinda twangy and also quite trebly, though it didn't really prevent me from enjoying their set.

[sensitiveorgan00]

Now, you guys have to really check this out.
http://www.myspace.com/sleepterror

Instrumental technical death metal. Seriously good stuff.

I saw these guys recommended on the Derek Roddy forum... some kickass stuff, though I don't really care for the drum sound.

[triXta]

awesome music check out the local band leukorrhea sometime.. they are wicked.. or go here www.myspace.com/leukorrhea

[sensitiveorgan00]

I saw these guys recommended on the Derek Roddy forum... some kickass stuff, though I don't really care for the drum sound.

Yeah, that's where I heard about Sleep Terror as well. So, do you play drums?

I don't mind the drum sound. It's all programmed, which is alright I guess.

[Ihsahn]

I don't mind the drum sound. It's all programmed, which is alright I guess.

Nah, I don't play drums, I just lurk around the forum beacuse I find it interesting, is all. I want to learn the drums though :p

I thought the guy who posted it said his brother or something did drums for the band?

[ninjamonkey]

Speakign of Technical Death, check out Martyr (Can) and Capharnaum.It was really trebly and piercing when distorted... because their distortion sources were Boss MT-2s... and the clean sound was kinda twangy and also quite trebly, though it didn't really prevent me from enjoying their set.
Hmm, do you think they use those MT-2s on Cloaked by Ages...? Cause i like their tone on that album.
now, drop the six feet under, nile, and meshuggah and you will be cool.
What's wrong with Nile? If anything, he should drop Six Feet Under from that list, and then possibly Meshuggah and Lamb of God (I don't dislike these bands, I just never find myself listening to them).
Yeah, that's where I heard about Sleep Terror as well. So, do you play drums?

I don't mind the drum sound. It's all programmed, which is alright I guess.
I don't mind the drums ound either. It sounds pretty standard of metal drum-soudns to me. Their myspace says "Dave" is on the drums. So, I'm taking it that those are real. Metal-archives says the drums are programmed by the guitarist, but maybe that was before these were recorded or something (despite the fact that the sogns are ont eh album). I don't know why they would list a drummer on their site if they used a drum machine. Even if he was only their live drummer, I don't feel like they would list him.

I'm gunna start checking out the Derek Roddy forum some time or other.

EDIT:Sleep Terror General Info
Member Since November 6, 2004
Band Members Luke- guitars, David- drums

Is the "Member Since" the member time of the myspace site?


My posts are always so long in this thread. I get like 50 quotes in each time.

[FatalBASS]

I usualy listn to thrash, but i down loaded inflames-colony i know this is tamer than most dm but its now one of my favorite albums and now band.could any one recomend some other good death metal.
p.s:i heared pheophobe on cryptopsy's web site and loved it so soon ill be getting none so vile.

[creap]

Hi guys!

I'm new to the forum but was looking for new bands to listen to and came across this thread....can't believe how long it has been active.

Few of the bands I like are
Atheist
Cynic
Death
Suffocation

Some of the bands that I recently came across are
Kalmah
Quo Vadis
Kataklysm
Necrophagist

I wanted to get some more bands to check out from you guys in the vein of Athiest, Necrophagist, and Quo Vadis

I love the breaks into the cleaner sections and great guitar solos.

Anything that catches ya by suprise really.

I have quite a few CD's (Death Metal and more) aswell if anyone would like to start swapping.

Looking forward to meeting some fellow DMers.

See ya~!

[LegionsofMarduk]

Sinners Bleed is the first band that comes to mind when looking for bands similiar to Necrophagist. From Womb To Tomb is a great album.

As far as more melodic stuff similiar to Quo Vadis:

At The Gates
Dark Tranquility

It's too early for my brain to function properly so browse the thread for other stuff. TONS of good bands in here.

[LordDargon]

Sinners Bleed, DEFINITELY \m/, and also Psycroptic.

[The Depressed]

I love the breaks into the cleaner sections and great guitar solos, anything that catches ya by suprise really.

Then you need Alarum.

Oh yeah, I know realise the fuss about A Celebration Of Guilt. Tis a great album.

[murderdoll666]

Cannabal Corpse
Morbid Angel
Napalm Death
Children of Bodom
Deicide
Cradle of Filth
Slayer
and others

[Stoic]

I've run out of technical death metal groups! Please suggest some non brutal ones that I havent heard of!

Sleep Terror: Now this is an answer to all those who are looking for "death metal without screaming"!

Lord Dragon: Where exactly are the Revenant you're referring to from?

Disillusion: I found their album but didnt like what I heard from the samples, should I go further?

Plus guess what's on its way home! An Atheist Piece of Time LP and a Sadus Swallowed in Black CD. Yay

I hope you still remember me...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the "Member Since" is the member time for Myspace. If the drums are real, then holy shi.t. :amaze:

[NJMetalMeister]

MetalFan:

As for the Revenant that he was referring to, im pretty sure he means the one from new jersey, good stuff there.

As for disillusion, that band is amazing, but you have to absorb the album from beginning to end to appreciate it, and it will probably take a few listens.

Heard Martyr? or Capharnaum? Capharnaum might be too brutal for you, I don't know.

[Dark Hero]

I've finally checked out Lykathea Aflame, these guys are amazing.

[ninjamonkey]

replace good with amazing.

[Stoic]

Heard Martyr? or Capharnaum? Capharnaum might be too brutal for you, I don't know.

Sure I've heard of both of them :). Capharnaum's vocals annoy me a bit, they have this -core tοne but musically are pretty good

[Stoic]

dam.n willowtip dont have distro here and I'm missing three groups I'm curious about: Arsis, Capharnaum, Alarum (thanks to the guy here who suggested them)

[LordDargon]

Yeah, that would be the NJ Revenant with amazing lyrics and who released Prophecies of a Dying World. Death/thrash, excellent stuff.

I'm not sure about the other two but you would love Arsis, great musicmanship, good riffs and they don't have gutteral growls.

[ninjamonkey]

dam.n willowtip dont have distro here and I'm missing three groups I'm curious about: Arsis, Capharnaum, Alarum (thanks to the guy here who suggested them)
You said you had heard Capharnaum. :confused:

All three of those bands are good.

[ninjamonkey]

Listen to Beheaded.

[Mekkalayakay]

Last time I will advertise them...

Burning Inside

http://www.richardchristy.com/burninginside/disco.htm


There are two full demos from their upcoming album on the front page, and these clips.

[xizoesira]

I got that Revenant album, but I also got Kataklysm's Serenity in Fire, which takes listening precedence, so I'll have to come back to it.

The drumming on SiF makes me make this face in real life ---> :eek:

[Dark Hero]

I've heard Capharnaum, they're good.

[Bartender]

I've run out of technical death metal groups! Please suggest some non brutal ones that I havent heard of!


Purely instrumental, but you could check out a band I've only just started listening to recently - Canvas Solaris. Like I say, no vocals, and they're not 100% death metal either, but the phrase "holy Cynic worship, Batman" springs to mind.

[Dark Hero]

And I really like the vocalist. His voice/growl just sounds powerful.

[Dark Hero]

Yeah, his voice kinda sounds like newer Cryptopsy.

[Mekkalayakay]

Since I checked Burning Inside, you gotta check out Pessimist (http://www.pessimist.com/main.html).


Ok. :cool:

And yeah, I guess the Burning Inside vocalist does sound quite a bit like Di Salvo, but Di Salvo's voice isn't nearly as powerful, it sounds more forced. (to be powerful) Both vocalists are good though. :p

/checks Pessimist.

I think I've heard of them.

[Mekkalayakay]

GOOD GOD DARK HERO :eek:



That band rocks. :cool: Brutal. I like it.

[Dark Hero]

Hehe, I thought you would.

+ Rep

[Dark Hero]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Mekkalayakay again.

WTF?

[Mekkalayakay]

I think you repped me a few days ago. :p

[Dark Hero]

I don't remember reping anyone though, o well, I try later.

[sensitiveorgan00]

Last time I will advertise them...

Burning Inside

http://www.richardchristy.com/burninginside/disco.htm


There are two full demos from their upcoming album on the front page, and these clips.

I listened to OverCast of my Inner Self and now listening to Humanity Forsaken. The production is killer, and so are the songs. What I liked about Overcast... was the lack of blast beats. :cool: However, I did NOT like the vocalist. Still, it was a good listen. Humanity Forsaken seems good so far.

[Stoic]

You said you had heard Capharnaum. :confused:

Indeed but only on mp3 and I'm a big fan of the real thing especially when it comes from underground groups. Underground groups usually mean poor distro but this is the real challenge!

I've never heard of BEHEADED! I will certainly give them a try :)

Bartender: I havent heard of CANVAS SOLARIS either. Since I discovered MCM(unbelievable prog/fusion) I became more interested in instrumental acts.

Mekkalayakay: Surprisingly I heard BURNING INSIDE on the radio the other day but apart from reading a discouraging but not accurate I guess review on metal-archives I didnt bother to go further but now I will.

Dark Hero: As for PESSIMIST, I've only heard of them (not listened to anything by them) but for some reason I get the impression they are too brutal. Let me see...

These should keep me busy for a while. Thank you all!

[Bartender]

Have you mentioned MCM before? I don't think I've heard of them.

[Stoic]

^
Only once. They dont play death metal, they play prog/fusion metal but certainly the worth checking. I was lucky enough to listen to a few songs off their album on the radio but unfortunately I cant find any mp3s.

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=19814

[Bartender]

I'll be trying to check them out, then.

[Cardboard Headgear]

Hey, just wondering what the stars that some people have are. Why post the question here? Becuase this thread is like it's own mini forum.

[Bartender]

You might have heard people talking about rep(utation) points around here. There's something about in the Announcements at the top of the forum, but in brief;

Under every user's avatar, there should be, amongst other things, a box with a tick and a X in it. That's the rep button. The idea if, if someone posts something really cool, intelligent, funny, etc (or conversely stupid, hostile, racist, etc), you click that button, choose whether you approve the post (giving them positive rep) or disapprove (giving them negative). You can leave a comment for them to read too, if you like. You start off with 10 points, and the amount of points you can give or remove from other users is based on how many points you yourself have.

The stars come in when you get a certain number of points. 1000 points or more, you get four stars. I'm not sure how much it takes to get five, but mods start off with 20,000 anyway. You can check any comments people have left by going to your user CP, although there's not guarantee you'll have any, or that any you do have will have comments.

I think that's it.

[Mekkalayakay]

Mekkalayakay: Surprisingly I heard BURNING INSIDE on the radio the other day but apart from reading a discouraging but not accurate I guess review on metal-archives I didnt bother to go further but now I will.


Are you sure? :confused: You actually have radio stations that play death metal?

[Dark Hero]

Is there another way to check how many rep points you have other than changing your user title?

[Dark Hero]

Are you sure? :confused: You actually have radio stations that play death metal?

My radio station plays death metal, black metal, etc. at midnight during October, but not all year round.

[Mekkalayakay]

Is there another way to check how many rep points you have other than changing your user title?


Click the check box under your own username. It's the same box that you rep other people with.



edit: None of my radio stations play intense metal. :( Ever.




double edit: And Sensitive Organ, yes the songs are awesome. :cool: I don't like the vocalist as much on those demos off the new album as much as I like the 30 second clips from the previous two albums.

[Bartender]

I have no idea if you can have one star. One person that I know of has only three stars, and mods have five, but other than that, they've all been fours.

You can check your points without changing your usertitle..click Quick Links at the top of the page, then User Control Panel. When that page loads, scroll down to the bottom, and it tells you there.

[NJMetalMeister]

anyone want to give me a pity rep? hahahaha.

and most radio stations dont ever play intense metal, it just does not work that way. (although i would love to see the look on a mothers face driving her son to school or whatever flipping through radio stations and having like cryptopsy be on one of the stations)

[Mekkalayakay]

I gave you a pity rep, but I expect rep back in return :p


from all of you (a)



And by the way, have any of you guys ever tried listening to Warhorse? That is the slowest damn stuff I've ever heard, and I can't stand it. It's like stoner death. I guess that's an appropriate term. It isn't bad, but once you get three minutes into a song, you're done. It just drags way too much. I just can't take it. :(
