any other death heads?

[Esoteric Whisper]

The first two grindcore effeorts are a little poorly produced, though Descanting the Insalubrious and Heartwork are the best. Check out Swansong for a really heavy blues/metal feel as amost of the tracks are written by the bassist/vocalist or Wake up and Smell the Carcass for some great unreleased stuff and John Peel session recordings. Though for me, you can't beat classics like Corporeal Jigsaw Quandary, The Sanguine Article and Incarnated Solvent Abuse from Descanting....

[NJMetalMeister]

I like to listen to -
Entombed
In flames
At the gates
Shadows fall
Darkest hour
The berzerker
Agiel
enslaved


The rest of those bands arent worthy to be in the same country at the same time as enslaved, let alone on the same list.

Suprising since you considered Reroute To Remain a good album.

Suprising since you considered Reroute To Remain a good album.

That was easily 2 years ago, when i was getting back into metal from getting out of hardcore. I was stupid and naive then. Now i am educated and pretentious. If you do not want to let me live down liking R2R, then fine, i can take it. Although i thought I had made it pretty clear in the recent past that the only in flames album worth listening to is lunar strain.

No, I'm fine with that. I just think your judgements on peoples tastes are a little harsh considering you were in exactly the same boat at a point in time.

[NJMetalMeister]

Well im not even going to say i dont like any of those bands, because i do, i mean im listening to terminal spirit disease right now. I'm just saying that putting enslaved in that list is completely illogical.

[ThrashMaster27]

Not at all. He was listing bands he liked to listen....I could list Necrophagist and then put Public Enemy, as it's my own taste. Ahhh yes I'm a fan of At The Gates aswell, but I can't stand Thomas Lindbergs vox on occasions.

[TheCrown]

I just got Opeth - Orchid and Opeth - Still Life. Amazing stuff, I didn't imagine it to be this good, the only other Opeth album I had ever heard was ****ation.

[Det_Nosnip]

Can someone reccomend me some Carcass? I've heard nothing but good things about them.

Get Heartwork. :)

[CaptainWaits]

Could somone recommend me some grind.....I go throught trends of likeing metal styles, and right now i'm getting attracted to grind.

[at.the.carcass.of.god]

most people consider the original grind to be napalm death

[craggyisland]

Could somone recommend me some grind.....I go throught trends of likeing metal styles, and right now i'm getting attracted to grind.
Napalm Death - Scum, From Enslavement To Obliteration (also get the Radio 1 Sessions CD if you can find it)
Carcass - Reek of Putrefaction, Symphonies of Sickness
Terrorizer - World Downfall
Nasum - anything really, most of their albums are very similar even for grind
Pig Destroyer - Terrifyer, Prowler In The Yard

Chances are, if you know you like grind, you know some of that stuff. That's just a grind essentials type thing I guess.

[whatduffhuck7]

sombody should make one big list of some of the bands that were posted in this site. so we can check them out and not have to go back 20 pages everytime

[CaptainWaits]

^^yeh I've heard of all those guys, and heard all except for terrorizer

But thanx a lot, I've already got a lot of Carcass, but I'll look into all those other guys.

I hate it when people hold you again old stuff you used to like, I mean, hell, I used to listen to pop-punk, but I don't need people dragging that up just to try and humiliate me.

Are you sure those Nile gigs have The Necrophagist as support? Because there IS a real band called Necrophagia
Yes, where the tickets are advertised in the shop it says "Nile" then in smaller letters underneath "Dying Fetus and Necrophagist"
Nile are the main reason I'm going, but Dying Fetus are pretty good too. I haven't heard Necrophagist as of yet.
By the way Bartender, gigs at Joseph's Well, are they in the pub part of it or what?
/me is confused

Right. It's the US only tour right? Oh well, they tour Canada all the time anyways, and I've already seen them 4 times or so...so bah.

Razorback seems pretty confident that it crushes everything... but I have my doubts! We'll see if it can match The Autophagous Orgy... I've heard a few low quality mp3's. The band got a loooot faster. I'll just have to wait and see the final product though... hopefully it comes by monday! I'm sick of waiting already!! :evil:

An awesome haul indeed. I'm going to get one of the new Engorged shirts ASAP. Has the Cobra in the tank from the self-titled on the front, and a skull/octopus dealy on the back, with the words "When no room is left in hell, the dead shall mosh the earth." :thumb:

Ah, that was a nice sunday morning read. To give this post a point, check out Niroth http://www.niroth.da.ru/ , I think they should appeal to most black metal heads. They're currently mesmerising my hungover brain, along with smatterings of early Emperor and Graveland.

[Vitriolic Rage]

I'm listening to some Thunderbolt right now.:thumb:
And no I am not a Nazi.
I'll check that Niroth stuff out now.

[craggyisland]

^^I did a little while ago, it's very good stuff. I was hoping to get more, but I could only find the three-song demo on the website, which I assume is all they've done.

[manuscriptreplica]

Niroth own

[LordDargon]

Everyone kill this "necrophagia" guy. He makes up genres like "gorecore", categorizes Autopsy in them, then says he's the only real metalhead and we are poseurs. He also admitted to being 14.

EDIT: Now he's saying Sodom are "death war metal" and are an offshoot of "gore-core." Apparently Sodom worship Autopsy!

[ninjamonkey]

Where is this guy?

[LordDargon]

He's in the "introduce yourself" thread for all the regs.

They did record a second, 2 track demo, though they haven't released it and probably won't from what they've said. I have a track off it, and it's excellent stuff, going in a more epic direction. Apparently a new demo is on it's way. But yeah, Niroth do rule.

[Silenius]

I just listened to a few songs... not bad.

So uh, the word on the street is that the new Impaled sucks. Terribly terrible production, and not in the good... The Dead Shall Dead Remain way.

[bassaholica2004]

I've been gone for a while because my guitarist came down from Fresno :D and we got to jam for a while. We finally layed down the music for a song I wrote right before he left called "Christrotted." His vocals are so good on it, its awesome. They're kinda like Tucker-era Morbid Angel, but a lot more bottom end, more gutteral, and overall a lot better. He said he's gonna get a Boss digital recorder soon, and next time he comes down we're gonna record our "demo." Our "demo" is about 12 songs long, and almost 2 hours of music. :lol:

Other than that, I've been listening to Morbid Angel's Formulas Fatal to the Flesh. Its probably my favorite, for how experimental and weird it is.

[ninjamonkey]

You've got a lot of material.

I have faith that the new GHOUL! album will rule supreme, even though the new Impaled seems to be a stinker(Though who knows, maybe it's not... I'm just going on on 2 reliable reviewers/friends opinions, who do in fact like their other albums). Noooot that Ghoul has anything to do with Impaled!!! :evil:

Yes! I really like it. 'Tis quite good IMO.

Have you guys heard Augury? I thought I saw something about them a week or so ago but now I can't find it. I put one of their tracks on Ihsahn's cd I'm sending him.

By the way Ihsahn-I did finish your cd last night. Sorry it's not in the mail yet. I've been pretty busy this week. I'll get it to the post office tomorrow so look for it probably next week.

EDIT: Nevermind about Augury. I found the thread and it's a different band than the one I put on Ihsahn's cd.

[stevo12363]

Sorry if COB has been mentioned, but I didn't wanna scan 513 pages of forum.

It is cool that there is so much support for the metal scene.

Anyway, Children of Bodom? Anyone like them? I find it amusing that they've gotten most of they're magazine time from Alexi Laiho's guitar playing. (God Bless his soul, lol)

Where do you guys think they're going? Will they burn out? Or produce great songs such as Everytime I Die.

What's your favorite song by them as well.

:evil:

[Toozey]

We like Death Metal here.

[NJMetalMeister]

Legions, Augury is awesome, that is all.

[shadowsfall16]

I like some Death metal bands like:


Morbid Angel :evil:
Cannibal Corpse :evil:
Otep :evil:


But i mostly like just metal like:


Slayer
Slipknot
Shadows Fall
Pantera
Living Sacrafice
Demon Hunter
Cky :amaze:

jesus, this has been the longest most ridiculously draining day of my life, thank god for candlemass.

[Bartender]

Why so long and draining?

Isn't that the dude from Venom?

I've always seen his name spelt Cronos, though I suppose it could also be spelt Kronos. There is a death metal band called Kronos though. I haven't heard them.

[NJMetalMeister]

Why so long and draining?


short version, i had a 12 hour argument with an ex girlfriend who basically turned into stacy from waynes world. Ill tell you the full story over MSN if youre interested, its too much to type here for people who dont really care haha.

[Corporal Compendia]

Has anyone heard Phlebotomized's Preach Eternal Gospels? Is it as good as/better than Immense, Intense Suspense?

Yes, and No, but it is still a good listen anyways. Skycontact is good for some more experimental, relaxing stuff... they were no longer death metal by that point.

[Corporal Compendia]

I also have faith in the new Ghoul being horrendously awesome. Do you think that LaBarre is still in Ghoul, despite him no longer being in Impaled?

Of course not! They have nothing to do with each other! Impaled is from California, Ghoul is from Creepsylvania, Ghoul rules, discussion over. :D

I'm still waiting on this Razorback ****. If it doesn't come soon, I'm gonna have to drive down there, crush them, and take my stuff.

The only bands in that list that are death metal are Cannibal Corpse and The Black Dahlia murder (whom are melodic death metal). And the rest minus a few are metalcore or new age hardcore ( I say new age due to the fact that its not really hardcore).

Children Of Bodom is power metal, and Slayer is thrash metal...

[bassaholica2004]

Who else is gonna see Cryptopsy and/or Suffocation? I'm going to seem them in either Tuscon or Phoenix, unless my guitarist can get me a ride to Santa Ana. Also, we're gonna see Suffocation too, hopefully in Santa Ana again. I can't wait, its gonna be my first real metal show!

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

I am seeing Behemoth/Suffocation Febuary 4th, then Cryptopsy the 15th of March...

Then Behemoth(again), Nile, The Black Dahlia Murder and King Diamond May 6th. :cool:

Gonna see Suffocation/Behemoth/Misery Index on Feb 23d (I hope), and I already saw Cryptopsy in July, though when they tour Canada again I'll be at a show most kikely.

[bassaholica2004]

Ahhh man I can't wait to see Cryptopsy live. I'm so happy Worm is back with them. I think the guy who did None So Live was pretty good (better than the other guy), but you can't substitute the Worm. And seeing Flo play live is gonna be killer. :cool:

[EightMilesHigh]

Allright, I'm not a self-proclaimed "death head", nor am I a fan of said music. However, I have a question. Is Judas Priest death metal?

Thats classic metal right there...

i picked up filosofem by burzum today... tis good

how come cryptopsy arent doing an australian tour?

[Bartender]

What does anyone here think of Khanate? There's just been a review of them done, and it's a fairly negative one (1/5). There's a song for download in the review though, and I quite liked it.

On a vaguely similar note, are Esoteric worth checking out?

And, to anyone who's heard the Oneiric Dirges in Mono EP, does anyone else get a tremendous sense of cold from listening to it? Seriously, just listening to it, on anything but headphones, my forearms feel intensely cold. It's awesome. Anything similar to The River to recommend?

[Jondur]

Instead of Khanate get Burning Witch. Much better in my opinion. Corrupted and Grief would be other one's to check.

Esoteric are pretty extreme. Not entirely my cup of tea. Have a listen though - you may like them. Harsh vocals (through many effects), very slow droning riffs, loads of keyboards etc.

Personally I can't think of any bands that sound like The River. We've had comparisons to Warhorse and Mourn but personally I think we're closer to St Vitus.

[Vitriolic Rage]

Yeah, your band The River are almost one of a kind, great stuff.
Who takes care of all the keyboard stuff and all? I've seen you on metal-archives and it doesn't say.

[Jondur]

You mean the piano bit at the end of "Opaque"? Well the studio engineer did that. I can't imagine there being any more keyboards on any other stuff. If there is - I'll do it.

[Vitriolic Rage]

No, I've only heard Amber.
I mean the beginning bit of Amber with the weird synthy noise, or was that all done on guitar with effects?

[Jondur]

That's just guitars! Just distortion and a hell of a lot of feedback! We can drag that out for minutes live if we don't like the look of the audience!

[Jondur]

whats with all this new age melodic death metal ****? or post harcore *** raping music? The only categorizing of music that I do is good, and bad.

Jesus C. Heinrike, you guys make it sound like something that would be on a pepsi can. super cherry diet lime pepsi with vanilla. When it should just be called pepsi.

how can you put a label on death metal. If its implying that its lyrics are related to death, satan, or anything opposite of "the flowers and the posies"; and/or that their guitarists use demonic scales or japanese pentatonics then slayer, COB, PAntera, Evergrey, all fall into the same category, even though they sound completely different.

If its implying that the overall sound of the band is "Death sounding" then Atreyu should be death metal because everytime i hear them I want to die. Someone give me some justification on why you guys label things with such long names. And why the **** it matters if Slayer is Post hardcore thrash metal or if their a ****in boy band, its good music.

Love,

Steve

[Iron Man]

Well, for one thing, genres make it easier to ask for, identify, or recommend music. What would happen if someone came into the forum, asking "I want good bands." Everyone has different ideas of what good is, so their suggestions wouldn't really help the person asking.

And also, if you found a new band and told your friend about them...

"Hey, person B, I just found a new band! [generic band name]"
"Congratulations, person A. What kind of music do they play?"
"Good music."
"..."

my god i hate you so much
this kid prolly will be listening to death metal in about 5 years cuase a cool kid at his school does and he likes to be like him. get out of this thread

[whatduffhuck7]

i personaly think death metal is the hardest genre to play on guitar. blues is hard but death metal can be really hard. the remelo picking is mind busting. so fast, so clean
when i do it its like so slow, muted string playing

[Cardboard Headgear]

****ing hell! We're supporting Pentagram!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

March 26th at the Kingston Peel! Pentagram, Orange Goblin and some others. It's an all-dayer and not-to-be missed!!!
Are they gunna be touring the US? You know, THEIR HOME TURF?!? If they don't I'll be severley pissed.

[Deathcrush]

I am gonna be recording some of my first ever demo (!!!) soon, I had planned to do my Burzum - Lost Wisdom cover tonight, but I had other plans.

It'll be black metal in the same style as bands of the French Legions. I'll put it in the Audio Arena if anyone is interested.

[thelizardkingcc]

haha you all are soooo completely wrong about me. first i dont think linkin park is "hxc," i think they suck because they're repetitive as hell for one. second, im sorry "lord dargon, march of the black hordes," but im not ignorant to this garbage. also, i dont play guitar, i play drums.

bands that i consider "death metal" include cannibal corpse, cradle of filth, and all of those wierd nothern european bands where they wear black and white make up, armor, and carry huge swords and take pictures of the band with blood pouring out of their mouths. a good friend of mine listens to this trash, and has tried to show me tons of bands and videos, and i find that the best of em can shred like freaks, but is that what constitutes good music?


"my god i hate you so much

as for that, in 5 years i wont be in school. nor would i ever, or have i ever, changed my musical taste or opinion based on what other people thought was cool. suck on my balls, all of you, death metal sucks and youre a bunch of douche bags. i hope you all get picked on even more in school, so you can listen to this **** and scream at your mom while all along crying inside to be loved and popular. AHAH you guys suck.

throw up your horns!!!!

yeah, i know this was unnecessary and im being a dick, but i dont care i like getting negative rep.

[NJMetalMeister]

and all of those wierd nothern european bands where they wear black and white make up, armor, and carry huge swords and take pictures of the band with blood pouring out of their mouths.

you do realize you described black metal, and not death metal right?

Lets face it, you're a stupid twat. You don't now what death metal is so there is no reason for you to give your opinion on it. Cannibal Corpse are Death, I'll give you that, but the rest are not. CoF is gothic/early black, and "those north european bands" are black metal. As for shredding like freaks, most black metal is not shred at all, it is usually basic riffs and blasbeats. As for what makes it good music, the atmosphere and the scenes and imagery it creates in your mind makes it as good as anything.

There.

[CaptainWaits]

:lol:

geez you guys are harsh to some of these n00bs

[bassaholica2004]

On a vaguely similar note, are Esoteric worth checking out
Probably a bit late, but I think they're worth checking out. I don't like them as much as Skepticism or Evoken, but they're pretty good Funeral Doom.

[thelizardkingcc]

lol. death metal, black metal, speed metal, speed death, black death, death black, its all the same: garbage.

p.s. high voltage, suck on my balls faggot. any musical genre that can be so specifically categorized, especially using a word like "death" to describe ithe lyrical obssession with corpses and blood and icky monsters, is just straight up trash music. get a ****ing life and put on some real music, you might leran something.

Excellent. March 26th is a Saturday, too, which makes it remotely possible that I could go. I'd just need to figure out where Kingston Peel is, etc. Thanks for all the help with reccomendations earlier, by the way.

In other news, I bought a few CDs today. Tr00 (-ish) ones include;
Bolt Thrower - IVth Crusade
Brutal Truth - Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses
Possessed - Seven Churches
Between the Buried and Me - The Silent Circus

Plus several less tr00 albums (yes, less tr00 than Between the Buried And Me or Leviathan).

Why don't you guys just ignore that stupid Lizard King fruit? They(Him and other trolls like him) don't bother posting more than a few times if everyone ignores them.

[NJMetalMeister]

His mention of floyd just shows that hes stuck living in the 70s, thinking music cannot progress past that. It isn't even worth it to tell him about some of the ingenious progressive metal bands out there because he is beyond a lost cause at this point.

I hope you die, you narrow minded, ignorant piece of ****.

Not even close to all death metal lyrics are about death. Shows how much you know. And just because it isn't soft, or isn't old doesn't mean it's garbage. These bands work too hard to make good music for a douchebag like you to say that they aren't making real music.

Good day, idiot.

i like progressive rock a lot, how bout you recommend me some good progressive metal and ill give it an open-minded listen. the only progressive metal i can think of that ive heard would be something like liquid tension experiment.

hey, if you all hate me, that sucks, cuz i love you.

[NJMetalMeister]

well, although i wouldnt have reccomended LTE, they are pretty good, and obviously dream theater go hand in hand with them. It really does depend on what kind of stuff perks your interest though. For example, if you like jazz, a band like Cynic would be right up your alley because they play a very strange combination of death metal and jazz, and make it work. After Cynic was long done, a couple members got back together for a highly progressive instrumental band called Gordian Knot, but it isn't very metal (yet still an excellent listen).

if you are into stuff with more ambient kinda stuff in it, which i would say is a decent possiblity if you like floyd, then more of an avant-garde kinda thing would probably be more suited for you. The best, in my opinion, would be a band called Arcturus, but i would stay away from their first album if i were you, it is much more black metal sounding. Hand in hand with arcturus would also be the bands Winds, and Age of Silence.

If you are into extremely bizzare and almost sporadic drumming, then a band like Spiral Architecht would be what you would like.

However if youre looking for interesting song structures, and don't mind songs a bit on the longer side, then I do reccomend the german band Disillusion.

Last but not least though, I could not bypass any progressively styled reccomendation post without mentioning the album "The Focusing Blur" by Vintersorg.

You have some options within there, and i cover a pretty wide range of what can be found if you look in the right places, but please don't just dimsiss all metal without giving it a try.

From what I've read of your posts in this thread, you came into this thread to flame the users in this thread.

Stop being such an arrogant asshole. Not everyone listens to the same music.

[ForiegnPenguin]

Can some people recommend some black metal from these bands:
Immortal
Darkthrone
Celtic Frost
Burzum
Emperor
(I've been told these are good bands to get me into black metal, but no clue on which albums)

[Bartender]

lizardking - Feel free to actually discuss the music - checking it out, why you don't like it and such - just not what you have been doing.

Tr00, schm00! Leviathan is good, and Mastodon are ultra man talented, but uh... yeah, Between the Buried and Me...picture this guy's thumb down. :thumb:

Yeah, Between the Buried and Me's death metal side always sounds kinda forced and redundant to me. I like it when they don't bother trying to do the death metal though, though I would guess you don't much like that part either.

Anyway, it's Brutal Truth that's currently filling my world with sound.

[Iron Man]

I've heard that bands like Burzum and Darkthrone aren't good bands to get someone into Black Metal. I'd suggest one of Immortal's later releases (At the Heart of Winter, Sons of Northern Darkness) or an Emperor album (In the Nightside Eclipse, Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk).

Edit: I've never heard CF, so I can't honestly give you an opinion.

I started with Anaal Nathrakh, but you're probably right. Burzum, especially the later stuff, isn't very BM at all. Darkthrone, though, I would think would be a good band to get into BM. Immortal is another good one, and so is early Emperor. Also check out Mayhem, and probably Marduk too.

[ForiegnPenguin]

Ok, thanks.

Hm, I'da thought Darkthrone too raw for complete BM noobies. I might be wrong, I haven't heard too much DT.

[Ihsahn]

It depends on the person too. The first black metal song I ever heard was Mayhem's Necrolust off Live in Leipzig and I was immediately hooked.

[RiceMonster]

Yep, some people get into it immediatly, some people take a long time. It took me quite a while before I could get into it, now I'm hooked.

[CaptainWaits]

Picked up Some Opeth today

[bassaholica2004]

Yeah, ultimately it depends upon the person. Most people I know would be immediately turned away from extreme metal if I showed them Anaal Nathrakh, but it fascinated and intrigued me, and here I am today. :)

Darkthrone might be too raw, but I think DT is a good way to get into raw or old-school BM (the best BM, IMO). Emperor is good, but I don't want more people to get into the Symphonic stuff, so I don't tell them about Emperor. :lol:

[Iron Man]

Picked up Some Opeth today

Which one? :p

[bassaholica2004]

I got Enslaved-Eld today, and its really good. The clean-vocal parts weirded me out at first, but they fit and actually sound good with the music. Anyone know what album I should get next?

[Cardboard Headgear]

They're all good, but I'd say go for Below The Lights; just because.

[Riva]

As a Floyd fan, I feel the need to apologise for lizardkingcc, for being such an ignorant arse.

And, is Melechesh a black metal band with power metal influences, or a power metal band with death metal influences?

(something of a stupid question, I know)

Yea, that guy is wow...one of the worst I ever seen.

[Riva]

Answer my question. :mad:

Also, I want to get into Doom Metal. My Dying Bride is doom metal, no? I've seen an album in my local CD store by them, called "The Angel And The Dark River", I think. Thoughts, suggestions?

[Jondur]

If you want to hear My Dying Bride then that's a good album to get.

But I suggest you try very hard to find the following albums:

Solstice - New Dark Age
Solitude Aeturnus - Through the Darkest Hour
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus and Nightfall
St Vitus - V

[Jondur]

Excellent. March 26th is a Saturday, too, which makes it remotely possible that I could go. I'd just need to figure out where Kingston Peel is, etc. Thanks for all the help with reccomendations earlier, by the way.



http://www.ents24.com/web/venue/2888/Kingston_Upon_Thames/The_Peel.html

It's officially in London but it's way out of Central London. You'll have to get a train. The usual website is www.peelmuzik.com but it doesn't seem to be working. It's much nicer place to play than in Camden!!! It's easter weekend and there's gigs a plenty!

[Jondur]

Congratualtions,
If you gave one out before, I missed it. Do you have a link where I could hear your band?

[superpeer]

I can't wait to go to this metalstore that I just recently heard about.

You should see the slideshow of the store on the indexpage.

They have a Euronymous grave and everything. :cool:

(something of a stupid question, I know)

Melechesh is black metal! And good black metal too. They're originally from Isreal, hence the middle eastern inspired riffing in a lot of their stuff. Djinn is their best album IMO. If you like them you have to check out Absu as well. These 2 bands go hand in hand. You can not check out one and not the other. This is an official rule that if broken will negate your n3cro status and reveal you as being untrOO. :thumb:

[superpeer]

Dark imagery doesn't change music selection...

I'm sure they will have more than the regular stores, because they hardly have any metal. :(

[LordDargon]

The "50 best-selling albums" list is passable, but for some reason it has Evanescence on it. I suggest you (pretend to) try buying an Evanescence CD when you there. If they don't throw you out for untr00ness, beat them over the head with a flaming inverted cross.

[Deathcrush]

It's funny, the regular posters in this thread are the friendliest and most mature people on the forum. Which I guess totally contrasts with what 'outsiders' believe when they see the words 'any other death heads?' floating about the page.

[Vitriolic Rage]

as for that, in 5 years i wont be in school. nor would i ever, or have i ever, changed my musical taste or opinion based on what other people thought was cool. suck on my balls, all of you, death metal sucks and youre a bunch of douche bags. i hope you all get picked on even more in school, so you can listen to this **** and scream at your mom while all along crying inside to be loved and popular.

Hmm.......




Do you find when you masturbate, the handkerchief goes all crispy?
If it does jump off a cliff.
If it doesn't, jump off a cliff anyway.

Anyway, back on topic, The Emperor (I think it was you, or was it Ihsahn?), you wanted to heard my Lost Wisdom cover you said a while back in a Pit thread, it'll be up on Sunday, now that I have a bass, I can record the bass tracks, which I'll be doing today or Sunday (I have work tomorrow)
No vocals on it yet though, I'll record vocals next time I go to rehearsal.

[Corporal Compendia]

Got my Razorback goods today.

Listening to the new Lord Gore. Great freakin' stuff... though I don't know it can match The Autophagous Orgy. Up next will be the new Engorged.

[Vitriolic Rage]

I've never heard any Lord Gore, are they any good?

[CaptainWaits]

I've never heard any Lord Gore, are they any good?


They don't really suite me, but I guess "Resickended" is a pretty good album for wat they are

Of course they are! Best kind of music, best people listening to it, makes sense!

[Corporal Compendia]

I've never heard any Lord Gore, are they any good?

Lord Gore are a great band. Very heavy, tri vocals, slow crushing riffs, fast crushing riffs...some of the grossest lyrics too. :evil:

The new Engorged is good stuff too. A lot of thrashy riffs on it. and it's a fact, that when thrash meets grind, a new dog is born, and a cat is killed... uh... I think. :confused:

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

They're all good, but I'd say go for Below The Lights; just because.

Followed by Mardraum; Just because.


Damn i wish i could see them live.

[viperfg]

i wouldnt exactly call myself a death head but i do like a few death metal bands such as

amon amarth
cannibal corpse
death

there are others but im not very good at thinkin

[Silenius]

Is it true that Frost (from Enslaved) costs 70 bucks on Amazon?

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Possibly the first printing of it, because it's now out of print.
I have the second printing, same music just the first print has the Enslaved logo embedded into the CD case.

[Silenius]

Okay, because I was thinking about getting it but then someone told me its over 50 bucks so I decided not to get it.

Is it good?

[bassaholica2004]

So I guess I'll get Mardraum if I see it. Thanks.

Also, I have a short story for ya'll. Over the weekend, my guitarist was here, and we started looking up Christian DM bands. Oh man, I've never laughed that hard in my life. Christian DM (that I heard) has the most unoriginal, boring, and worst music I have ever heard. A band in particular is Noiz. They have some free MP3's on their site, and the lyrics too. Thats the second part. The lyrics are worse than a 2nd grader's poetry. The funniest part was the vocalist gurgled out "I love Jesuuuuuuuuuuuuus!" or something like that. :lol:

Ahh man, I'm way too bored. :upset:

[Cardboard Headgear]

So I guess I'll get Mardraum if I see it. Thanks.


What's wrong with my recommendation... :upset:

NP: Chain - Cities 7
Because Michael Sadler's voice is soooo good.

In a related matter, would anyone care to recommend some Pentagram?

[ekajsk8er]

Im not.. BUT im bored so i will fill this is any way. i like some stuuf like that such as:

Pantera
Slayer
Vision Of Disorder
System Of A Down
SlipKnot

That is the HEAVY **** that i like but i like most Heavy Rock songs like:

Linkin Park
Rage Against the Machine
RHCP

etc. you now what i mean :p
yea red hot chili peppers are the heaviest band ive ever listened to and so is linkin park god there heavy no

I thought you recommended Mardraum too? :confused: No matter, though. I plan to get as much of Enslaved as I can.

P.S.- We need that rocker emoticon from UM.

3074236, do you browse this thread, or do you just come in when the n00bs arrive? I'm just going to ignore the n00bs who i wasn't around to reply to b/c I just don't have the time.
Anyone listen to Kronos?
Yes. I have both of their albums if you need anything.

I saw Arsis, Incantation, and The Chasm, etc... on Wednesday. Good show. There were like 50 support bands. and Arsis only played like 4 songs cause Jim's cable or something was messed up. The Chasm are funny b/c they pronounce their band name wrong. haha
If Mortician played, I didn't stay to see them. But it looked liek everythign was being packed up after Incantation played.

My band "At Dusk" played at our school Battle of the Bands tonight and we surprisingly got second place. After only practicing about 3 tiems no less. If you want to hear the mp3s contact me. and if you don't contact me, I will contact you and send. haha

[Terminal Spirit]

Has anyone heard the new Marduk, Plague Angel, yet? I am listening to it right now, and I must say that I'm impressed. It reminds me of Panzer Division in some aspects, but the song-writing is far superior. Great riffs are abound through the whole thing, ending it a glorious manner with Blutrache. I even like the new guy's vocals.

[Cardboard Headgear]

In a related matter, would anyone care to recommend some Pentagram?
Starlady would be my favorite, but it's hard to go wrong with Pentagram. Really, if you go wrong, you ****ed up somewhere along the line.

[Stoic]

The funniest part was the vocalist gurgled out "I love Jesuuuuuuuuuuuuus!" or something like that

yay! :evil:

The Chasm are funny b/c they pronounce their band name wrong. haha

How is it supposed to be prounounced? H(ate)asm or Ch(arles)asm or K(ate)asm?

Haven't heard it, but I read that the vocalist did his vocals through a human skull (other than his own), and they did some percussion with human bones.

I'll check it out, anyway. :)

I haven't heard it yet. I will eventually. Im hoping it's better than Panzer Division. The all out aggression on that album was good if you were pissed off and needed to smash something, but all in all it really wasn't that good of an album when compared to their earlier work.

DIMMU BORGIR bassist /vocalist Simen Hestnaes (a.k.a. ICS Vortex, ex-BORKNAGAR, LAMENTED SOULS) has officially rejoined ARCTURUS as the group's permanent vocalist. His first appearance back with the group will take place at the Inferno Festival kick-off event at the Underworld in London on January 27 (as reported here on Jan. 8).

Hestnaes had previously performed vocals on three tracks and written the lyrics for one song on ARCTURUS' 1997 album, "La Masquerade Infernale".

ARCTURUS announced earlier this month that vocalist Øyvind Hægeland (SPIRAL ARCHITECT) had left the group. No reason was given for his departure.


Oh man, this owns. I know i made a thread on it, but it's too good to be true.

[CaptainWaits]

Sweet good stuff there :thumb:

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

But did he leave Dimmu Borgir as well though?

I love it for Arcturus, but that would suck if he left Dimmu Borgir, because unlike some of you I am a fan of their newer stuff as well.

[ninjamonkey]

yay! :evil:



How is it supposed to be prounounced? H(ate)asm or Ch(arles)asm or K(ate)asm?



This is nice :). Is it a death metal band? Are you the guitarist?
It's pronounced Kasm but they pronounce it Chasm.
Yeah we play death metal and melodic death. and yes I am the lead guitarist.

[LordDargon]

So I guess I'll get Mardraum if I see it. Thanks.

Also, I have a short story for ya'll. Over the weekend, my guitarist was here, and we started looking up Christian DM bands. Oh man, I've never laughed that hard in my life. Christian DM (that I heard) has the most unoriginal, boring, and worst music I have ever heard. A band in particular is Noiz. They have some free MP3's on their site, and the lyrics too. Thats the second part. The lyrics are worse than a 2nd grader's poetry. The funniest part was the vocalist gurgled out "I love Jesuuuuuuuuuuuuus!" or something like that. :lol:

Ahh man, I'm way too bored. :upset:
Try Incubus - Serpent Temptation for good christian metal. Brutal thrash really, but I like it alot.

Ninja: Incantation are great. Show must have been cool. Too bad you didn't get much Arsis :(

Woohoo, Incubus fan!!! Incubus really did rule. I've not heard any of the Opproborium stuff yet, must look for some sometime.

Why is it that a label with so little distribution and fame like Willowtip, it has so many good bands? Alarum, Neuraxis, Arsis, Capharnaum, Circle Of Dead Children and Harakiri are just some of the highlights of this great label. Especially the first four mentioned. Highly recommended (even though everyone here knows Arsis).

[Corporal Compendia]

It's pronounced Kasm but they pronounce it Chasm.

Like, with a Ch sound? haha... But I guess they can call themselves whatever the hell they want to. It's their band afterall.

[Corporal Compendia]

Cause they and the bands they signed are dedicated to releasing good music, not making money, unlike ****ty labels like Century Media. Though Willowtip has been on the rise lately... I've seen some of their CDs in stores lately. I picked up the Rune album a couple weeks ago.

So my band recorded a song today, hah. It's titled 'Reveal' tell me what you think. The mixing job was a bit sloppy because we were tired but the sound quality, i think, is pretty good.

Hey, good job there my friend :thumb:

Just wish my comp. wasn't so slow, so maybe I could've listened to it all at once, instead of in 5 second clips

[ThrashMaster27]

I'm currently listening to the song as I type to I'll give my input on listening. The first part sounds a lot like Call of Ktulu, the intro solo is quite amazing and something I could never pull off. You're reminding me of a less adventurous Necrophagist at the moment, which isn't a bad thing! Impressed me at least.

Are you also playing "Far Beyond the Sun"?

[atremore]

Would it be fair to say that Emperor's latest album is death metal, or black death metal? I like it, but I think they should have released it as a different band maybe. I actually like Prometheus better than IX Equilibrium, as far as their new stuff goes... but they're old classic albums are unbeatable!

It's all Symphonic Black Metal. (Except Wrath of the Tyrant)

[RiceMonster]

Yeah, I prefer Prothemeus to IX Equilibrium as well.

[atremore]

I guess, but that tag usually gets confused with the more commercial sounding bands like Dimmu Borgir. It's different to that, especially the first 2 albums.

Dimmu isn't really Black Metal anymore.

[atremore]

Yeah, I've got their first two albums, and some of E.D.T. is pretty good for what it is, but then they started to follow this formula and release E.D.T. again and again: most of the tracks off S.B.D, G.S.G, P.M.E. and D.C.A. could have been right at home on E.D.T.

Sorry about the acronyms, but as you can see, even the titles follow a formula!

[CaptainWaits]

The trick to purevolume and a slow computer is to let it play up to around 30 seconds, then pull the little marker back to the beginning and then pause it. The song will keep loading, and then once it's done you can listen to the whole thing at once.

[Stoic]

^
it's working :) !

[br3ad_man]

I saw "Worlds Beyond The Veil" when I was up in Brisbane, but I didn't have 30 bucks so I couldn't buy it. It's a shame you have to go to Brisbane for a decent metal selection. Plus I couldn't stay in that store for very long because it scared all my mates I was with.

[manuscriptreplica]

I bought it for $28 :cool:

There's some decent solos in it, but overall the song kind of bored me, I was tempted to stop it since it just seemed to be too dragged out. Definitely talented though.

They said they wanted me too. So I'll do it. If I lived in NJ, though, I would want to be their real vocalist. But we have to do it all online since I don't live there.

[ninjamonkey]

What bands are similar to Enslaved?

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

In response to the song...

Yes, that is me playing Far Beyond the Sun and Paradigm shift.

Corporal, i can see where you are coming from in saying that the song is kind of dragged on. In partial i agree with you, i'm hoping vocals will partially fix this.

Ninja, you can do vocals whenever. The other guitarist i think wrote out some lyrics so whenever he types them up someone will send them to you.

[Silenius]

Yes, that is me playing Far Beyond the Sun and Paradigm shift.

Nice, how long have you been playing?

[Bartender]

$30 for a CD? wow.


That's $30 Australian, which isn't really that much, I think.

Anyway, I picked up Brutal Truth - Need To Control on my way home last night. Totally great band so far, catapulted themselves into my favourite metal bands already. What other albums of theirs are worth buying?

Same question for Bolt Thrower, actually, as IVth Crusade is also currently riding high in my favourite albums.

[Jondur]

The first Brutal Truth Album "Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Response" is a must-have. Much better drummer on that album. Hoak is just a mess on blasts. That said, "Need to Control" is such a great album. I like "Sounds of the Animal Kingdom" too. "Kill Trend Suicide" was hampered by poor production but has some decent songs.

[Bartender]

Yeah, Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses was the one I bought previous to Need to Control, and is so far stamping all over it. Need To Control is still holding my attention, though.

Also, I remember you sent me Birth of Ignorance in that first tape trade, quite a while ago now. I really shouldn't have waited this long to follow up on it.

[br3ad_man]

Go back with the money then.

Oh I will.

I did a review of "None So Vile" on the new CD Reviews site if anyone is interested. Not sure if it'll be as good as Dargon's though ;)

I'll do some more metal soon, I just have to decide what to do. Maybe some Gorguts.

[ArandomBassist]

That's $30 Australian, which isn't really that much, I think.

Oh its a rip off... i get most of my cds for $28 ;)

And None So Vile is such a classic album and i dont even own it (well properly that is) I cant seem to find anywhere... all i find is None So Live

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Nice, how long have you been playing?

5 years guitar, 10 years piano.

[NJMetalMeister]

5 years guitar, 10 years piano.

i would like to learn piano, i mean i can put my hands on a piano and get good sounds out of it (a knowledge of music theory will do wonders for that), but as far as being able to truly play a piano, i probably should go to lessons or something. Maybe once i return to the states.

[LegionsofMarduk]

I didn't know you played piano Per Ardua! I wish I could play guitar as good as I used to play piano. I took lessons for about 7 years and did all kinds of local and state level competitions. I could have gone to nationals on a few occasions, but my parents weren't able to shell out the money for me to go. I haven't played in a long time now but if my wife and I end up building a house this year I'd like to get a piano to go in it. I just don't have room for one (or the money) in the house we're in now.

NP: Behemoth - Vinum Sabbati

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

10 years of piano? :amaze:

Very nice...

I have a piano and all, but I don't have a clue how to play. I plan on taking piano classes and such in college though this up coming term.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Yes, 10 years is a long time. I used to do recitals and things like that but now i'm more of a casual player. I don't take lessons for it anymore.

[Silenius]

5 years guitar, 10 years piano.
Yngwie is probably a piece of cake then. :lol:

Edit: I'm arranging Sorgens Kammer for guitar right now, what a pain in the ***.

Crap that's a long time. You're 15/16 right?

[Ihsahn]

Yay! More classical players! I haven't played piano, but I have played cello for 14 years (I'm 17 at the moment). Over the last 6 months or so I haven't played seriously so lots of my technique and stamina has dropped. I also play trumpet and **** around with the guitar ;).

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

What's the best Nile album to start with?

Ah yes, Nile :thumb:

Wow. I took piano for 8 years then quit it last year. I'm starting again becuase I realized how much I loved it when I quit.

[ninjamonkey]

Wow you guys started instruments early.

Ihsahn, you started cello at the age of 3? wow.

As for Nile, I prefer "In the Catacombs..." to their others.

[RCA]

Yeah, In The Catacombs was a solid album.

Any news on a new Lykathea Alflame (or Lykathe) album?

They're supposed to be recording, but the website's been under deveolpement for ages, so no one knows anything about it. I an interested in how it will sound though, seeing as how Tomas is the only member left from Elvenfris.
