any other death heads?

[LegionsofMarduk]

I liked the other one better, but I like Venom too. Doesn't really matter. It just threw me off for a second. I saw your name, but a different avatar so i had to look twice.

I'm out of blank cd's (burned my last one for this last round of trades) but when I get some more I'll trade with you. Which reminds me...

Ninja-
Did you end up trading this time? I can trade with you too if you want. I just have to wait until I get paid next week to get some more blank discs.

power metuhl, hehehe

Ah, I want to get all Stormlord's albums.

[LordDargon]

My Soulseek doesn't work. It hasn't since Christmas. I actually uninstalled it and reinstalled it today, and it still doesn't work.

That sucks.
What is the problem? It just won't connect, or does it give you an error message?

Oh noez!!
My SLSK doesn't work, too !
GRRRR...it win't connect :angry:

[LordDargon]

The server is down right now, but it hasn't been down since Xmas so that can't be Emperor's problem.

[Bartender]

Mine also stopped working around Christmas, as evidenced by the trouble I've been having in doing Forced Listenings.

[LordDargon]

Ahh... you guys do have the new versions don't you? You were supposed to update by Dec. 28th. I don't know what happens if you don't, but maybe not connecting is a problem.

you can get the latest version still

www.slsknet.org

[Deathcrush]

It pops up with a thing saying "Could not connect to server. If your internet connection is working, the service may be temporarily available. Please try again later."

:(

LegionsofMarduk, if we trade, I am relying on you to get me into some good underground, old-school, blasphemous thrash. Thrash has never been one of my specialities.

Anyhoo, I am away to go burn some churches, catch you later when I get back. :thumb:

[Deathcrush]

And Lord Dargon, it was the new version I installed today.

:confused:

Laters.

[Bartender]

I don't even get a could not connect message. I'm pretty sure I've got the latest version, since I've downloaded, deleted and re-downloaded it more times than I can remember recently, but I'll have a look.

[LordDargon]

LegionsofMarduk, if we trade, I am relying on you to get me into some good underground, old-school, blasphemous thrash. Thrash has never been one of my specialities.
I can help with that, hopefully. :)

Guess I'm outta luck for a trade with you then 'cause thrash has never really been my area either! Oh well.

[superpeer]

Can anyone tell which albums Vortex has sung on for Borknagar and which Borknagar albums are good?

[NJMetalMeister]

Vortex sang on Quintessence and The Archaic Course, which unfortunately i feel are borknagars two worst albums.

in order, from favorite to least favorite here are my opinions of borknagar:
Borknagar
Epic
The Olden Domain
Empiricism
The Archaic Course
Quintessence

I like them all, but i obviously like some more than others.

[feedyourhead]

You know what band I can't listen to based solely on Vocals? Mortician. The vocalist seems to have such a low voice that you can't even hear him half the time. At least that's what I've found from listening to them anyway.

Mortician is mainly drumming with destorted bass, it isn't really about the vocals.

[bassaholica2004]

I found a user I can download some actual (not fake) LLN stuff off. I'll post what I think.
Ooooh, I want some! Soulseek is down right now, but even when its up, I can never get into your files. Is there anyway I can fix that, so I can get some? I've been wanting to hear some LLN stuff for a while now.

I have no firewall up or anything, it might be your firewall/virus scanner. I can however upload files to you using one of the features on the new slsk... message me (doesn't matter if I'm offline, I'll still get it) and I can send you something once I get it.

If I get my Soulseek working, you can help yourself to my LLN files.

I have had to make some cutbacks due to space, but I still have plenty of the stuff.

What, "******s have no place in black metal"? That's sh.it if it's that. Any idiot with an IQ you could count on one hand would be able to tell that was a joke.

Every racial slur I have used on this forum was a joke.

Yeah, I realize it was a joke. But some other members may not.

Fields of Elysium - "Beyond Endless Horizons: Entombed in Eons of Ice and Sand"
It should be the song at the top of that page.

Ninjamonkey, this is sweet. Like you said, the drums are a tad sloppy, but they're not that bad. As for mixing, I'd make them slightly louder. Everything else seemed great. Good job.

I almost pissed myself when I saw that. I'd rep ya, but I gave too much out recently. :lol:

[Toozey]

Rep does nothing to me, I'm always on 666, oyes.

[Cardboard Headgear]

Anyone here listen to Havayoth? It's not extreme stuff by any means, but I know if I made a seperate thread for them it'd get zero responses. I've heard The Watcher, and I kinda like it for it's like pop techno chorus thing that gets stuck in your head for hours. Plus it's Vintersorg. The album worth getting?

[The Depressed]

Wow.... I'm currently hearing clips from the latest Impaled album.... and my god are the interludes cheesy.

'Cat got your tongue? Oh that's right, we did, right here in this jar!'

'Don't worry, it'll only hurt - til you DIE!! *cue maniacal laughter*'

'500 CC's of atropene now in the left ventricle' - 'But that's enough to kill him!' - 'Which really isn't a problem, considering he's still dead!'

Can't get better than that.

[bassaholica2004]

Am I a freak for preferring Maniac over Atilla?

I wouldn't say so. I happen to prefer Maniac as well.

I like them a bit as well, but I have only heard their newest album.

[PIGS(1 different one)]

My brother has the cd, I don't mind it too much.

[bassaholica2004]

They did the Float On song, right? Uggh, I can't stand that song. It was cool the first time, then after that it got really annoying really fast. I haven't heard the rest though.

[Freezing Moon]

What do you guys think of Naglfar? I was just listening to them, and I liked them more than I thought I would. I have the album Vittra.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

I have been meaning to check them out for awhile...

Naglfar's Sheol = good

Bass fanatics: Download Squarepusher - 'Tetra-Sync'. Madcore super bass in it

[feedyourhead]

I like them a bit as well, but I have only heard their newest album.


Sadly I enjoyed it too. Luckily my excuse is I can say it sounds like some guys who just listened to a **** load of tom waits and made an album so in a way I could say that I hate it.

[bassaholica2004]

Naglfar's Sheol = good

Madcore, eh? Cool, I try and find some.

Sadus has some really cool bass too, but they're more thrash.

[manuscriptreplica]

Squarepusher is electronica, but I'm sure you can like it

And EVERYTHING Digiorgio does has excellent bass in it :) It's just a shame that he is with two mediocre bands like Sadus and Testament

[bassaholica2004]

Squarepusher is electronica, but I'm sure you can like it

Thats Digiorgio in Sadus? :eek: Whoa..............

[manuscriptreplica]

You didn't know that? He's been in many bands, he's full time in Sadus and Testament, has been in Death, Control Denied, Quo Vadis, Vintersorg, Autopsy... and that's off the top of my head!

:eek:

[ninjamonkey]

Why doesn't Varg just say if its his bassline or not?
The bass always follows the rhythm part, the only genres that fall out of this is death metal, pop and funk, really. The bass does get quite busy in Pagan Fears, though
haha, lots of other music too. including jazz.
And you should be able to find them in music stores, they are a quite popular band (even though Fenriz hates it)
Fenriz hates it? How do you know? and Why?

I dont see whats so bad abotu Six Feet Under. I mean, I don't listen to them, but why all the hate?

Ninja-
Did you end up trading this time? I can trade with you too if you want. I just have to wait until I get paid next week to get some more blank discs.

Yes. Maniac is an annoying arse. Attila is the voice from beyond the grave.

[Mardy]

the search engine didn't find anything, so I'm posting this: Jon Levasseur has left Cryptopsy.
That really sucks.

But appearantly Daniel Mongrain (Gorguts, Martyr) is in. Pretty cool.

Yes. Maniac is an annoying arse. Attila is the voice from beyond the grave.
Truth, Maniac was ok on Deathcrush, after that he sounds ridiculous, especially on I am The Labyrinthe:lol:

[manuscriptreplica]

Fenriz hates it? How do you know? and Why?

Fenriz had made several comments about how he dislikes Darkthrone being popular, one being that if they sell more than 1400 copies of an album they are not underground anymore, and that when Nocturno Culto went onstage and played Darkthrone songs with Satyricon and saw all the fans liking it, he said it disgusted him

And I never liked Sadus, they rely too much on Digiorgio's skills to make their music

[LegionsofMarduk]

What do you guys think of Naglfar? I was just listening to them, and I liked them more than I thought I would. I have the album Vittra.

Naglfar is a great band IMO. Vittra is a really good album. I think my favorite by them is Diabolical. Shoel is ok, but not as good as the others. Ex Inferis is OK, but it's only got 1 song on it that isn't on their other albums. The other 4 songs on it are just different mixes of songs from their full length albums.

No, I never traded with anyone.

Ok. I'll e-mail you.

[HappyMarshmellow]

WHAT!?!?!?! WHAT WHAT WHAT!?!?!

AAAAAGH!!!

Not Jon Levasseur! They can change bassists, maybe even vocalists and still put out good songs, but two things that can never change are Jon and Flo!

The music is screwed! AAAGH!

Lord Worm is back but Jon is gone, and Gorguts has never inspired me, where is this coming to? I don't want Cryptopsy to suck!

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

Well, that sucks. I am going to see them in about a month as well...and he has to leave heh. Sucks, but oh well.

[manuscriptreplica]

I rate Gorguts very highly, so maybe the new Cryptopsy will still be good

[CabbageStabbage]

Well as long as Daniel Mongrain can pull of the craaazy sounding Cryptopsy solos, it'll all be good.

[NJMetalMeister]

I think its less of a question of Daniel pulling off the solos, but coming up with them in the future.

I like this Belketre quite a lot. The Torgeist is ridiculously raw and not as good.

[Ihsahn]

Can someone tell me if anything by Immolation os worth getting. And just give me some more insight on them. Thanks

Immolation are gods. They're unique NY death metal. Their newest album isn't as good as their previous efforts but they haven't put out a bad release. Check out Close to a World Below, which is easily one of their best works.

On another note for Torontonians, Usurper and Hammer of Misfortune have been added to the NLF 2005 bill.

[Imperial Necro]

I like this Belketre quite a lot. The Torgeist is ridiculously raw and not as good.

You must be joking. Torgeist is one of my favourite of the many, many LLN bands. Devoted to Satan is fvkking pvre zatanik exxxcellence.

I'll stop typing like that now.

NP - Anal Blasphemy - Molesting the Children of God

EDIT : PS. If you think that Torgeist is ridiculously raw, good luck with the majority of REAL LLN. What Belketre release are you listening to? Alot of Belketre is FAR rawer than Torgeist, production-wise.

I actually love Torgeist's production.

[bassaholica2004]

Yes. Maniac is an annoying arse. Attila is the voice from beyond the grave.
I haven't heard all of Maniac's songs, but the song Chimera has pretty good vocals I think. But yeah, Attila is way more necr0, but on some songs I can't stand some of the vocals. The vocals in Cursed in Eternity are ****ing great though. But in some songs on DMDS his vocals are weak in spots, I think.

[Toozey]

Maniac is a girl.

[bassaholica2004]

Attila's a scary looking guy. I just read that Mayhem's been around since 1984. Has anyone heard any of their music from then? Isn't that before the invention of Death Metal? Thats crazy, I thought they started in '88 or something.

[craggyisland]

The Pure ****ing Armageddon demo was in '86, I think Deathcrush was '88. Although the quality of that demo renders it unlistenable, so I just prefer to think of them as starting with Deathcrush.

I've heard the Pure ****ing Armageddon demo that was released around 86. I believe Euronymous did vocals on that demo and they sound... odd when you can discern them. More like... death growls? I don't know how to describe them... maybe someone breathing into a mic really forcefully. The sound quality otherwise isn't thaaaat bad. Everything is extremely sloppy though and there's a track called Mayhem where they just slam around on the drums and yell random ****.

Well, you had Hellhammer with their blackened/deathened/thrashened stuff around that time... it was in it's infancy. And of course it did not exist as we know it today.

What I got was:

Belketre - March to the Black Holocaust
Torgeist - Black Legions Metal

Argh!

I hate writer's block. These riffs aren't coming to me! ARGH!

Daniel has no problem writing solos... Riffs are what I'm worried about now. Jon's been writing them since the band began... they'll sound totally different now.

Look how long this thread has been going, that was page one, this is page 554. That is a big time span, and pretty much this has turned into a discussion thread about any extreme metal, not just death metal.

[BradyEB]

Last death metal cd bought Iniquity - Grime.

[manuscriptreplica]

I can't even remember what the last one I bought was, I haven't had a job in a while and recently ran out of money :p probably Pestilence - Spheres

[Freezing Moon]

I would try to buy CD's more often, but it's hard while I'm saving for a new guitar. The last extreme metal CD I got was probably Naglfar - Vittra.

[bassaholica2004]

The last one I bought was Suffocation- Souls to Deny. All the other ones I've gotten off Soulseek, cuz I'm such a necro-p1rate.

[BradyEB]

I would try to buy CD's more often, but it's hard while I'm saving for a new guitar. The last extreme metal CD I got was probably Naglfar - Vittra.

Yeah I used to be really pissy about buying albums and ild just download(I was saving for a bass) but now I do buy cds often and ive bought/got for xmas maybe 15+ cds since Dec, and im loving it.

[Freezing Moon]

Yeah, I love having the actual CD, but I can't make myself spend the money when I'm saving for something and its so easy to get off of the internet for free.

NP: Necrophagist - Mutilate the Stillborn

[br3ad_man]

[Corporal Compendia]

Do tell...

I'm afraid I can't do that...not on a public board. It's not my place to tell. Should be announced shortly. Just, if it happens, you'll be jumping and screaming like a little girl at how awesome it is.

[br3ad_man]

Could you reccomend me some songs from them?

Could I also get reccomendations for these bands:?

Suffocation
Lykathea Aflame (I've only heard 4 songs and I can't remember what they were, so I'm starting over)
Gorguts (same as above)
Morbid Angel

[BradyEB]

My favourite Morbid Angel Songs are The Lions Den and Day Of Sufferring. Cant wait till my Morbid Angel albums arrive from amazon, its taking awhile.

[manuscriptreplica]

Lykathea Aflame - the whole Elvenefris album! You can't go wrong
Gorguts - The Erosion of Sanity, Obscura (If you like weird DM)
Morbid Angel - I like Covenant best, but Blessed are the Sick and Altars of Madness are favourites too

I don't know much about Suffocation, but I have Effigy of the Forgotten which is pretty good

[br3ad_man]

Thanks Ryan. Anyone reccomend me some Immolation?

EDIT: and I'm really digging "Focus" by Cynic :thumb:

[br3ad_man]

Do you guys like Maudlin of the Well?

[ThrashMaster27]

Focus is a great album, I'm a big fan. Immolation I've only heard one album of and that was 'Close to a World Below' and it was pretty good! so that's the only recommendation I can make.

[manuscriptreplica]

Ryan??? Blah, I have a username for a reason!

And I don't know any Immolation, they are a death heads favourite though, so I'm sure someone else can recommend something for you

[Lord Abortion]

I've heard the Pure ****ing Armageddon demo that was released around 86. I believe Euronymous did vocals on that demo and they sound... odd when you can discern them. More like... death growls? I don't know how to describe them... maybe someone breathing into a mic really forcefully. The sound quality otherwise isn't thaaaat bad. Everything is extremely sloppy though and there's a track called Mayhem where they just slam around on the drums and yell random ****.
Yeah I heard that song on the demo It's pretty cool but as you say not really very good if you follow me...

Live in Liepzig is the real culmination of that period before DMDS so I would reccomend getting this as It is the only real documentation of Dead's time with the band Dead was pretty good at Freezing moon on that album

"when it's cold and when it's dark the freezing moon will (acess or upset?) you!"

[manuscriptreplica]

Obsess... :lol:

I haven't listened to Live in Leipzig for so long, I'm going to listen to it now

I tried to send you an email with my address in it and stuff, but I got a message back saying it could not be delivered. Are you sure you gave me the right address?

[atremore]

Has anyone here heard a band called Night Conquers Day? I have their album, The First Snowfall, and would like to discuss them with anyone who is willing...

[ArcLite]

Has anyone here heard a band called Night Conquers Day? I have their album, The First Snowfall, and would like to discuss them with anyone who is willing...

I've heard them. They're pretty good. They're actually black metal, American black metal at that, not death. Very good musicianship, and a very dark album.

[Bartender]

Thanks Ryan. Anyone reccomend me some Immolation?


I've only heard two of their albums, and neither of those was Unholy Cult or Close to a World Below, which seem to be everyone's favourite. Their debut, Dawn of Possession, is high quality though.

[atremore]

Yeah that surprised me too... because a lot of the so-called BM bands I have heard from America turn out to be melodic death or something. Are they still around? I really like the first song (I think it may be the title track), that comes in after the cool keyboard introitus. They're only a duo too.

[ArcLite]

I haven't heard anything about them for quite some time. Not sure if they're around anymore or not.

[atremore]

Do you know of any other NCD albums?

[ArcLite]

They have another one called Rebellion is the Art of Survival. Haven't heard that one though.

[atremore]

Is that their first album? If it's anything like The First Snowfall than I will buy it... I'll keep my eye out anyway...

[Lord Abortion]

has anyone heard the vader cover of freezing moon?
i'm listening to it now on Black metal radio...

[HappyMarshmellow]

Maniac is a girl.

Quoted for truth.

[HappyMarshmellow]

has anyone heard the vader cover of freezing moon?
i'm listening to it now on Black metal radio...

It's excellent. I have it on the Northern Darkness tribute to Mayhem.

[Lord Abortion]

yeah I really like it It has a more droning, spooky edge to it

I love the singer's voice...

[HappyMarshmellow]

attn. happy marshmellow.

I tried to send you an email with my address in it and stuff, but I got a message back saying it could not be delivered. Are you sure you gave me the right address?

I think so, anyway, my email is scanner_1002@yahoo.com

To Lord Abortion:

Yes, I think Vader's interpretation adds those awesome characteristics to it, much more atmosphere.

I have Reign In Chaos, and it's strange because Vader (or the old Vader) used to be much more thrashy death metal. Have a listen to "Decapitated Saints"

[Lord Abortion]

Quoted for truth.
:lol: Attila is Back
I hope Mayhem play the U.K again soon...

[HappyMarshmellow]

:lol: Attila is Back
I hope Mayhem play the U.K again soon...

The New "True" Mayhem sucks balls. I hope they die, except for Hellhammer.

[Lord Abortion]

yeah but I would see them just to hear Atilla live on freezing moon and funeral fog

hopefully buried by time and dust too

[atremore]

I haven't even heard Vader yet... they're Polish right? What bands sound similar to them?

[HappyMarshmellow]

Decapitated sounds similar to them.

It's difficult to place their sound really.

[atremore]

cool, any albums you would reccomend? By the way, I remember a few 100 posts back you mentioned that Leviathan were an influence? What have you heard by them? I've only got "The Tenth Sub-Level Of Suicide", and it's one of the most dark/ depressing albums I own... awesome!

[Jondur]

Decapitated are arse. Everyone should check out Krabathor.

[Lord Abortion]

[bball_1523]

I was wondering what are some good songs by the band "Death"

I've only heard like 2 of them including "voice of the soul" I really like voice of the soul, so I was also wondering if they have anymore songs that are like that, with maybe acoustic guitars or a similar style of melody?

[Dancin' Man]

Vader's vocals suck. Such a good band, such bad vocals.

[Lord Abortion]

Vader's vocals suck. Such a good band, such bad vocals.
meh...

Vader's vocals are good.

I have a Vader cover of Dark Angel - Merciless Death. \m/ Forget what album it's off.

[Lord Abortion]

I'm going to get a vader album
on my list after cannibal corpse

[Squirrel]

I love Vaders vocals, Raining Blood was unbelievable when they played it.


Decapitated however, really annoy me.

I was the one that mentioned Leviathan as an influence, along with Craft and other troo black metal acts like Burzum. I quite fancy the Moribund Cult, despite their connections with the LaVey "satanic church". Organized religion is crap.

I've got "Tentacles of Whorror", and I've been meaning to spend my monetary resources on much more by them and others under the same label... it's a good album. Very atmospheric, not so depressive but definetly evil, twisted, dark.

Add cannabis and you've got a terror-trip right there.

[Lord Abortion]

BM influences for me are:
mayhem, emperor, early Cradle of filth,
my band will be good once we can add synth to stuff and get a bassist and everyone fit and well again

Lair of the Minotaur
Jigsore Terror
Vomitory
Vader
Vehemence
Slayer
Decapitated
Morbid Angel
Obituary
Cryptopsy
In quest
Necrophagist
just to name a few.

My demo is having troubles, I am not very experienced with the 8-track, so alot of stuff like tracks being bounced etc. are screwing up the sound.

Just stick with later albums, such as Human, Symbolic and Individual Thought Patterns, and you should be okay. I've only heard Human out of those, but the others seem to have enough positive recommendations to justify recommending them.

I don't understand the dislike for Decapitated I'm seeing.

I tried to compose a Meshuggah type song today. I failed, and went back to My Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen playing.

Anyone like Benediction??
I'm afraid that I haven't heard of much besides the more mainstream bands.

offtopicish: I was looking on half.com for La Maquerade again. There is one copy called "The Masquerade Infernale" selling for 8.00$ (USD). Also, there was a copy called "La Masquerade Infernale (Import)" selling for 21.00$ (eek). The one starting with "La" seems more authentic, and I don't wanna get gyped out of the real version of the CD, so which should I get?

[Vortigon]

Benediction are good.

Dunno if this has been mentioned, but apparently Necrophagist are supporing Morbid Angel on their european tour. Good thing too, I didn't want to have to watch Soulfly.

[LegionsofMarduk]

Yeah. Soulfly and Morbid Angel are playing over towards Detroit later this month. Although...In April in Detroit there is a show I desperatly want to go to. It would even be worth the 2-1/2 hour drive. Behemoth, King Diamond, Nile and Black Dahlia Murder. I don't much care about Black Dahlia Murder or King Diamond...but I want to see Behemoth soooo bad. They're playing in Detroit with Suffocation in a couple weeks, but I didn't find out about that show until a few minutes ago so I won't have the money. But the April show...I'm going to try to go to.

[ForiegnPenguin]

I plan on going to that but whos singing? I'm pretty sure Tucker left.

Edit:Morbid Angel

[Bartender]

Yeah, and Vincent's back. Unless I'm confused.

[ForiegnPenguin]

Thats awesome, I always prefered him to Steve.

[Bartender]

I never really had a preference, I just liked them both. I'm a big fan of Formulas.. though, so maybe my view on Tucker is a bit skewed.

[Freezing Moon]

Formulas is definitly my favorite Morbid Angel CD. Trey is awesome.

[ForiegnPenguin]

I only have Altars and Heretic, so it looks like I should get Covenant or Formulas next.

[jcs497]

I'm gonna get some Nile, as that seems my best bet. Other than that, Cryptopsy is the only other brutal death I have, and I don't like it a ton. So if I like Nile (or whatever you deathheads may suggest) I'll check out the genre a little more

Yes, Nile is sweet. My favorite is ether Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka or In Their Darkened Shrines.

You could also look into some...

well do those albums have similar melodic sound as the song "voice of the soul" that's all I'm really for in Death, if they have anymore similar sounding songs, even if they are heavy.

[BradyEB]

I really like the Individual Thought Patterns album. I bought it because i loved Steve D and Chucks playing on the philosopher and i was hoping the rest of the album would be just as good. I wasnt disapointed at all.

BM influences for me are:

Egghhhh, no synth! Synth is the worst thing to happen to metal, and unless you can pull it off as well as Emperor, don't do it! Seriously, the "atmosphere" from synths is very fake, and in the case of most of today's BM bands, very laughable. If you can get the atmosphere from the guitars and vocals, it is so much better, and has much more substance. Its like going from water to vodka. :lol:

I think some synth is ok, but only if it is done extremely well. I just can't listen to some new stuff with too much synth in it, because it just doesn't sound right.

I actually think there's little enough synth in Mithras' sound (at least in Worlds.., I've not heard the first one). A lot of it seems to just be Leon messing around with various guitar effects, which I thought was fairly impressive.

Also...when I got a cd (don't remember which one it was now) it came with a flyer from Century Media that had a bunch of other albums you could order. I'm pretty sure Elvenefris was on there. It's worth buying. One of the best albums I own.

At first I had to make sure it was the same singer, cuz the vocals are so much different than on TSoP! They're good though, they give it even more of a thrash feel. Its a great album, way technical and lotsa bass :D, but it feels more like a thrash album than a Death album.

NP Canvas Solaris - Ekstatik Parataxis (The New Measure)

[Stoic]

My MX Trading Experience

Intro
I’m not sure if anyone cares but I’d like to share my thoughts on the compilation Bartender sent me. Keep in mind that in most cases I’m judging the song and not the band (although I assume that the rest of their stuff probably sounds similar) and that opinions change. Excuse my english (and typos), you see it’s not my primary language.

Apologies
Also, I apologize to Bartender for the delay.

Track List

Canvas Solaris
What Solar Winds Collide
Progressive (Instrumental)
USA

Bartender told me about these guys when I asked for group suggestions in the vein of Watchtower, Spiral Architect, Spastic Ink etc. However, they don’t play exactly this kind of technical metal as they sound much more accessible and they focus more on melody than technicality. The song is constructed around a main riff but they don’t hesitate to experiment, thing that it’s quite obvious in the acoustic part of the song and the percussion. Although they seem to have the potential they didn’t meet with my expectations. There’s something lacking, meaning that it didn’t make me want to go back and listen to it again, and I hardly remember (even the main part) it after 4 listens.

6.5/10

Theory in Practice
Colonising the Sun
Technical Death
Sweden

OH MY GOD! This is the first song I’ve listened off this particular album and it literally slays (especially the last part)! The standouts are the guitar work and keys. The first is totally mind blowing, ultra technical, yet melodic and memorable. The second (which are by no means annoying) are incorporated to the music in a pretty smart way adding to the song. People who despise death metal should really listen to this and finally shut up. I can’t believe how much I have underestimated these guys… My only objection is the vocals, they could have been better I think.

9.9/10

Spiral Architect
Insect
Technical
Norway

One of the best and maybe the most experimental song off “A Skeptic’s Universe”, album released by one of the most disgustingly (in a good way for me at least) technical band. Things to notice is the position of the bass in the production and the constant tension the unusual time signatures create.
9/10

Mithras
Words Beyond the Veil
Experimental Brutal Death
UK

Who’s the first person to come to mind when thinking of Mithras? Toozey of course! Hail! One thing is certain: I’ve never listened to any other band that sounds like them. This particular song justifies the term “experimental” as the guitar work is weird and unusual and the drumming...well the drumming sounds impossible! However, they’re not really my cup of tea. Besides the main riff I don’t really like the way the song progresses. Also, I think that many good ideas are buried under the mediocre production.

6.8/10

Lykathea Aflame
Land where Sympathy is Air
Technical Death/Grind
Czech Republic

One of the favourite bands here. A refreshing step forward, a perfect combination of technicality, brutality, melody and atmosphere. Unfortunately the vocals are exactly what I try to avoid in death metal but I can’t miss the music. The epic riff in the end is my favourite part.

9.6/10

Meads of Asphodel
A Healer Made Good
Medieval Experimental Black
UK

What the heck is this? It starts off extremely catchy sounding like old school blackened thrash with an intense punk attitude (which is obvious even in the way the vocals are done) and 70s prog rock aesthetic. All of the sudden the distortion goes away and we move onto an acoustic part where the lead guitar sounds as if it’s off a late 60s early 70s record, with the characteristic warmth and delay (or whatever is called) effect. I expected a full solo but instead he plays a few notes and then the ball goes to the rhythm. After an atmospheric part that gives me a “space” feeling the vocals enter again for the most addictive, touching and “alternative in a black way” part. It’s been stuck in my mind for all the week (along with Sabaton’s hammer has fallen and Hollenthon’s Homage but this is another story). Wow…

9.8/10

Mastodon
Blood and Thunder
Progressive Sludge/Fusion Metal (huh?)
USA

Alright, solid songs, with catchy riffs, cool sounding bridge (instead of solo) and perfect production. After having listened to some incredible tracks (TIP, Lykathea Aflame, Meads of Asphodel), this one didn’t excite me at all.

6.3/10

Quo Vadis
Absolution (Element of the Ensemble III)
Technical Death/Speed
Canada

Does this happen to anyone else? Sometimes, you get so obsessed with a particular song that you find all the other songs of this band inferior and you get disappointed. Well this is what’s happening to me at the moment with Quo Vadis…I’m expecting to listen to Legions of the Betrayed part two. I just can’t get over it at the moment. Good song in general, typical Quo Vadis, but not as touching as Legions of the Betrayed

8/10

Possessed
The Exorcist
Death
USA

I already own the album for collection reasons. Not really a fan of proto death and this particular old school production kills me. Sorry, no rate here, I respect its historical status and I don’t want to be hated :p

-

Between the Buried and Me
Mordecai
????
USA

Where did they find all this talent? Besides the vocals that are gradually transformed from death into pseudo death and metalcore ones, the rhythm guitar work is incredible (especially the part behind the more metalcore-ish vocals) and it could well come from a technical death group. When the death part ends (L), starts a much milder, alternative with prog elements and clean vocals, one. Surprisingly, the vocal lines are written in a smart way and they sound very good.

It starts off with an eastern theme, which is repeated between the verses and it is consisted of various layers, meaning that each instrument plays its own little part, but they all together sound tight as hell under a PERFECT production. Normally, I’m not very fond of eastern themes but this one certainly differs! The vocals on the verses are black-ish and quite good but in the next part there are some also quite good clean ones. So, in this next part, after the verses instead of a solo the lead plays an extremely catchy little epic riff later followed by the clean vocals. I ADORE this part! Do their other songs have similar epic sing along parts?

9.7/10

Brutal Truth
Anti-Homophobe

This is thrashy old school death with well-constructed riffs, ideal for head banging. I guess it’s a good break from the most sophisticated stuff. Plus, what exactly is this 2 second video clip of theirs?

7.8/10

Arghoslent
Incorrigible Bigotry
Melodic Death
USA

You can’t check out all the bands you see mentioned in the forums, can you? Well I didn’t expect them, a death metal band, to be melodic in such an epic way. Seriously, when listening to this the first band to come to mind is Slough Feg, especially the third theme! Even the way they arrange the guitars reminds me of them. They never seem to run out of ideas and literally you could write a new song around every single riff, if you know what I mean. This would become my next favourite group, but unfortunately I got a bit disappointed when I found out about their lyrics and maybe this is the reason why Bartender chose to include their instrumental song. Musically these guys slay, so I guess I’ll try to ignore the lyrics. How’s their first album?

9.8/10

In conclusion
Thanks to Bartender I learnt about three bands I had never heard of: Meads of Asphodel, Hollenthon, Brutal Truth. I changed my mind about Theory in Practice and had the opportunity to listen to two bands Lykathea Aflame and Arghoslent (meant to check them but I was always forgetting)

STAND OUTS
Theory in Practice, Meads of Asphodel, Lykathea Aflame, Hollenthon, Arghoslent

Thanks for looking

Get out now, idiot.

And MetalFan to say the production on Worlds Beyond The Veil is "mediocre" then it just shows how little you actaully listen or know about production values.

[Stoic]

I'm sorry, I didnt mean to offend you, you know how subjective these things are! Besides, I've heard too little, I'm judging from one song and opinions change :)

I don't care if you like the music or not, I'm not even talking about the music :p I didn't mean to offend I just hear alot of people say the production is really shabby and it's not at all.

[LordDargon]

I think the guitars on WBTV sound muffled. I like it though, sounds cool.

NinjaMonkey: I beleive everyone explained "why the Decapitated hate". :p and I don't hate them.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Jondur i still haven't sent out your cd, i've been really busy lately.

I got yours though and I listened to a bit, it slays.

[whatduffhuck7]

Dwoh that is the worst thing that has been said in this whole thread!

Anyway, he didn't even send you the best song, get Psyrens, you can get it off http://mithras.org.uk somewhere

The guitar tone is different, it is still crushing, the production is still one of the best in the genre when compared to other bands such as MA, Nile etc

:cool:

The rest of their material depends. If you don't like their clean stuff, you will probably enjoy a lot of their stuff more than "Mordecai". It's one of my favourites of theirs but not my favourite...that's "Ad A Dglgmut". I really, really like their clean and melodic sound, but if you don't like that then you will still find much to like. I suggest checking out the first track off "The Silent Circus"..."Lost Perfection: Coulrophobia" and the song "Camilla Rhodes" which you can download at www.betweentheburiedandme.com , those songs are just brutal ones. :thumb:

I dislike more or less everything else I've heard by them; their death metal parts always sound very forced to me (especially the vocals and even more especially the lyrics). If you like their death metal though, I'd say the majority of the album that Mordecai is from (The Silent Circus) is closer to that than to the end of Mordecai. You'd really just have to check them out yourself, I think.

I think a lot of that album (Domus Mundi) has quite an epic feel to it, and lots of different 'world' themes. It's an excellent record though, and well-worth checking out anyway. What I've heard, thanks to Jondur through a previous tape trade, of their second album (With Vilest of Worms to Dwell) is even more epic/symphonic. I still really need to get myself a copy of that, now that I think of it.

That would be Collateral Damage, a You Suffer-esque track from the same album as the track I sent you. I think it's on record as the shortest music video, at 2.8 seconds. Here's the song, if you're interested for some reason, but I've never seen the video.

The album that this is from, Incorrigible Bigotry, is actually their third, I think. Their previous two (Arsenal of Glory and Galloping Through the Battle Ruins) are both good, but Incorrigible.. is near perfect. The lyrics aren't actually that bad. I don't even really think of them as racist, since they're not actually out-and-out racial-hatred motivated lyrics. Besides which, they're catchy, and the music as a whole is amazing.


Thanks for looking

Thanks for writing out your thoughts in such detail :) I'm glad you liked as much of it as you did.
