Hoorah, a reason to check out Sinner's Bleed.

(dibs)

To per ardua ad astra, i dont really like that song either! It just struck me as so weird i wanted to see what other people thought of it.

:thumb:

I'm rather looking forward to hearing this, as I've heard comparisons to Necrophagist, who is/are awesome.
[b]Sinners Bleed - The Ludo Game[/b] - 3:57

Kicks off straight away with heavy riffing and fairly quick drumming, and a nice, deep, vocal roar. Good - the vocals don't sound pathetic. The foundations for a decent death metal band are set.

Pretty soon (around 0:15) there's a really good section of riffing, and the drummer throws in impressive fills where appropriate. The vocals come back in around 0:40, and they're not only not pathetic - they're actually pretty good. He can not only do long roars (another of which he does to introduce the first verse), but can carry on the barking, growling vocals for the verse itself.

Around 1:40, I think the riff changes for a few seconds, and I'm pretty sure I made out the bass showing through for a couple of notes.

2:14, a solo starts in one channel, and at 2:24 plays through the other channel. It's not blisteringly fast, but it's impressive. Oh wait, now it's blisteringly fast, and switches from one channel to the other and back once more.

Around 3:10, the vocalist comes back in, and the whole bands goes into full-on brutal mode for the end of the song. Overall, very impressive..but it's not Necrophagist :)

8/10

Bump.

Just a note to the crazy-guy -who-is-not-ashamed-of-it: You were right about the part where you said the song was about losing a beloved person. About "If there is a metal side to them" - Hell yes, and if you download the other song I posted here, you'd find it very death-metal-ic, as I mentioned. Bassically, they are one of my favorite bands, and I love them for the combination of death and doom metal they make, and for the fact they are israeli, which makes me feel really proud, being one too. I am very happy you liked them, and I hope some more people would start to know them and listen to them, because from all the bands in the metal industry nowadays, they are ones of the most deserving ones.

Bump.

Staind-4 walls or KoRn-need to

what crap i have no friggin idea whats going nvm

I'll dibs.

[i]Devin Townsend - Stagnant [/i]

What the hell? I was expecting something really crushingly heavy, but I get almost a Bon Jovi song! He's got a great voice, but the music is pretty bad. The whole song is focused on the vocals, the background music is pretty poor, there is nothing special anywhere, it is all chord progressions. The only highlight of the whole song, in my opinion, is his great, strong voice, which is probably what the band is all about. I've never heard Strapping Young Lad before, so I don't really know if it is any different. The guitar solo near end is pretty good, but I will stay away from this guy's solo work. If you like Bon Jovi, check it out, I reckon.

4/10.

--------

Lykathea Aflame - Land Where Sympathy is Air (Technical Death/Grind)
Coroner - Suicide Command (Technical Thrash)
Meshuggah - Future Breed Machine (Technical Metal)

Yeah i like technical stuff.

Strapping Young Lad is much heavier than his solo work

Stagnant probably wasn't the best song to recommend anyway. Most of the really good ones are over the 6 minute mark though.

Bump, can't find either of the two I haven't heard.

I'll dibs, although I'm not that deep into technical stuff... :)

[u][b]Meshuggah - Future Breed Machine[/b][/u]

The only song I found, although it was the lowest on my priorities-list... And I should say - My intuition proved to be more trustfull than ever before.

Intro - some machines working or something, then the guitars drop in, although only 2 chords strummed all over, along with some beeping BG noise... Nothing amusing, but not that terrible either... Some kind of bridge where two guitars play... Then the drums drop in. Torture to my ears! It sounds asif the drummer strikes random drums in random order over and over... Then the vocals enters - terrible, incomprehensible screaming... Never heared a better example for the definition "Dick in the throat". Chorus - you can distinguish it from the rest of the song only by the different way of screaming... The guitars and drums are on their own... Asif noone of the band members hears what the others are doing... Still screaming... Then comes some acoustic part that I like, even do like, but goes away immediately... :upset: Then some other guitars, though not as terrible as the rest of the song... But well, as expected, doesn't last too long either... ****ty power chord repeated over and over... As if that's the only thing that the guitarist is able to play, but here, comes in some shredding - ****ty tremolo-picking, again, the same notes all over the place... OOOOH! Again! ****ty screaming, incomprehensible combination of whatever there is in the room - I bet they were beating on the tables and used the mic-stand as one of the drumsticks! It seems the guitarists decided to try out a new picking technique - "Feet Picking" - That is, jumping on the guitar which lies on the floor over and over... Sarcasm aside, The sound is TERRIBLE! The song goes away suddenly, and the relief of Symphony X which was next on my playlist comes to my tortured head! Thank fate it did stand there...

[b]Score[/b]: I would give it a -2/10, if not the acoustic part, and the shredding, so 1/10. [b]Would I listen to them again?[/b] Maby in hell, being tortured to the rest of my etrnal, miserable stay there... But that is, only through my dead body - You'll need to kill me first!

My suggestions:
Symphony X - Awakening[Progressive Metal]
Axxis - When The Sun Is Going Down[Heavy/Progressive Metal]
Dark Funeral - The Arrival Of Satan's Empire[Black Metal](Frankly not the best of my liking, but not bad...)
Grave Digger - The Grave Digger[Can't say, decide yourselves, and tell me.]
Megadeth - A Tout Le Monde[Thrash Metal](I guess everyone have heared that one... Still, I love this song...)
Gamma Ray - Heaven or Hell[Power Metal]

Sorry for puting only too famous songs/artists... I'm just having tons of each...

Megadeth - A Tout Le Monde
------------------------------------------
Wow...I love the way it just starts out, and I love the slow intro, kinda reminds me of Cemetary Gates. I love when it kicks in! Im a Megadeth fan and i've never heard this song, im loving it. It's very melodic I love the guitar! Nice solo to...

My Score: 3.5/5 Not the best Megadeth song but its a good one.

My suggestion:
Take The Reins - Tsunami Bomb

Bump. Should we count that?

It was short and undescriptive, but if anyone wants to do jet black stare's suggestion, i guess they could.

This is not a dibs, as i'm extremely tired.

[QUOTE=Bartender]Bump. Should we count that?[/QUOTE]

I don't think so. It was kind of half-[I]a[/I]ssed... :confused:

Dibs, then.

Aw... Meshuggah aren't that bad.

I don't like Meshuggah either, but I'd agree they're not a 1/10. Especially not FBM.

I wanted to do that Axxis song, but couldn't find it anywhere. Anyway, I haven't heard any Dark Funeral before.
[b]Dark Funeral - The Arrival of Satan's Empire[/b] - 4:22

Starts off with some strangely toned guitar, and a few drum blasts, before a decently long scream.

The vocals are pretty much full on, I like them, the guy seems to be putting his all into them. The drumming is fairly fast, but nothing fancy. I like the main riff of the song, but again it's nothing spectacular.

At around 2:45 (like, 15 seconds), the guys vocals stop for a while, and we can concentrate on the music a little bit, but nothing changes, which is strange. There's a very short space with some impressive drum fills at the very end, before the songs comes to to a sudden stop.

All in all, a decent black metal song. Absolutely no variation in the music, which was a bit annoying, but the vocals were somewhat above average.

6.5/10 Nothing particularly wrong with it, except that it seems to fit very well into the "yes yes, very good, but what's the fu[color=white]c[/color]king point?"-niche.

[b]Would I listen to more of the same band?[/b] Not at the top of my list, but maybe in the future.

Songs:
Arghoslent - [i]The Purging Fires of War[/i] (melodic death metal)
Mannhai - [i]Spender[/i] (stoner rock)
Ben Harper - [i]When it's Good[/i] (blues/jam)
Blues Traveler - [i]Optimistic Thought[/i] (blues/rock)
Winds - [i]What is Beauty?[/i] (symphonic metal, plenty of strings)
Circle Takes the Square - [i]In the Nervous Light of Sunday[/i] (emocore/screamo)
Farmakon - [i]Loosely of Amoebas[/i] (Gothenburg melodic death, with a bit of a twist)

Not dibs, but Dark Funeral did an awesome cover of Mayhem's 'Pagan Fears'. It's way better than the original, I reckon.

Bump, and a new song which I just rediscovered.

Thirst - [i]State of High Piss Off[/i] (hard rock kinda thing)

Dibs on Arghoslent

Taking back the dibs....can't get it on Soulseek.

My name's Kanadarius on Soulseek; if you don't mind a slow connection, go for it.

Ehh...I'll still pass. It's going kind of slow, and I think I'd be a bit biased based on their lyrics and subject matter.

Fair enough.

/bump

i cant find any of them

If you've got Soulseek, add me; I've stuck them all in a folder called Forced Listening, and you can download it from me directly. I'll kill anyone else's downloads until it's done.

Even if you've got MSN, add me and I'll send one to you.
