I know I'm just bored.

that is no excuse sir.

Your mom's an excuse.

oh good one.

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15521870]I repeat, "any other name dropping death heads?".

Anyone know of any recent-ish releases I may have missed that I should look into? Old school stuff is great and all but there has to be some new stuff coming out that isn't terrible.[/QUOTE]

Cianide?

[QUOTE]Sup Dom?
I haven't heard either release, but I'm quite enjoying he new Immolation. some parts are a bit more straight forward, but there's still enough trademark wacky stuff.[/QUOTE]

Hey mate, how are you? I am pretty good. Two days from finishing school forever :) Got exams however :( I am ready for those beers with you in Holland :p

I got my Interview for my Bachelor in Music Composition at the Australian National University in 2 weeks :)

Yeah. Most people rave about Thantos being very good and I can imagine as I really liked Emerging from the Netherworlds at first but now its boring. I think I might just have a bad album of theres. In their long career I am sure they have a few. I might get some of their other stuff later but my recommendation is stay away from Emerging from the Netherworlds.

Yeah. Looking at your LastFm and the Immolation plays you made me inspired to get some Immolation. Perhaps I should get some of their new stuff because Here in After is a little off in my opinion. The riffs are just awkward at times.


I only have Winds of Creation by Decapitated. Are any other albums by them really worthwhile getting?


PS: With all that Warcraft talk before. Get World in Conflict. That game owns my school work.

PSS: I would like to draw you attention to the most Metal video of all time. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALrRD_nNd1E[/url]

Lol, that man never fails to make me giggle...at him.

Nihility is great, alot of people don't agree though.

Why do you think I said Skeletonwitch? I wasnt just name-dropping, they're about the most recent album Ive bought and Ive been really happy about it.

So how bout you check 'em out instead of assuming I just throw names out there for the hell of it :thumb:

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15521364]1.When I said "any other name dropping death heads" I was making fun of you.
2.You don't do anything in this thread but randomly cite random poopty bands you've found. You don't persuade anyone to listen to them, you don't mention anything about their sound.
It's one of two situations:
a) You're looking to see if we think you should check out a band, meaning you're an impressionable tool
b) You're name dropping bands you've hardly listened to in an attempt to up your perceived elitenessity.[/QUOTE]
1. obviously, which was why i said earlier in regards to deth's post "why does everyone frown upon it?" If we mention new bands there will be new discussion.
2. not true. i've brought up Nocturnus, Monstrosity, Carnage, Experiment Fear, etc. These are bands I see no one else really mentions, well except for eliminator when he's trying to be funny. I've told everyone numerous times to check out The Key, Imperial Doom, Dark Recollections, and Choir Invisible. Those are all I can remember at this point, but i persuaded quite a bit, and no one seemed interested in discussing. not my problem.
A+B. both false. I only "namedrop" bands not in an attempt to look cool or elite, or because I'm impressionable, I'm merely seeking a recommendation. ie Neolithic yesterday, and if there was a review posted for it on MA i wouldn't have asked at all. But as of the current moment I have no knowledge of Neolithic's sound at all and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they were worth my time, or maybe give some insight on their general sound.

So please, get your facts straight before you make these kinds of assumptions.

[QUOTE=C.O.A.;15521953]The Ocean's new album is due out soon i believe. I don't know if they are your cup of tea or not though.

EDIT: nvm i misread your post.[/QUOTE]

Grrrr. I wanted to name a band that :mad:

Don't worry, it's a crappy band name.

[QUOTE=Rattle]But as of the current moment I have no knowledge of Neolithic's sound at all and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they were worth my time, or maybe give some insight on their general sound.[/QUOTE]

After a 5 second look on Metal Archives, I noticed they have a myspace...

[QUOTE=masscows;15522825]Nihility is great, alot of people don't agree though.[/QUOTE]
I agree bb. :-*

The bass drum (trigger) on Nihility is way too loud. Pretty good album though.

That's true, I still love it though.

It's not bad it's just not anything near WoC and their albums just went downhill from there.

Dude, it's so ****ing hard to download a couple of songs, visit the bands myspace, or offical page or whatever. I don't know how people do it man. I can never figure out what a band sounds like unless I have someone describe them to me.

I'm sorry, rattle. I realize now that, if it wasnt for you, I would never have known about the underrated and obscure; bands like Nocturnus, Monstrosity and a guitarist you call "Loomis" would go unnoticed. Furthermore, as a result of your amicable digging skills, I've become aware of an otherwise unknown release within the scene; yes, it would seem that you are in fact the first person to know of Carnage.

Seriously though, you're kind of an impressionable little shit; your post just validated anything I said.

You said that no, you don't arbitrarily name-drop to make yourself look better and your argument was that you arbitrarily name-drop things you think no one has ever heard of, regardless of them being highly regarded (and highly discussed).

You said that you don't rely on the opinions of others only to say that you were looking for a yay/nay on whether to look into a band.

I mean, yeah sometimes it's okay to ask if a band is worth looking into further than what little you've heard, but you essentially just blindly name bands out. You don't say whether you want to discuss them, or whether you're looking for a recommendation. You just, as I said, arbitrarily name bands.

Actually, you just kind of arbitrarily mentioned them. You, as I said, just namedropped a band. You didnt mention anything about them. So, yeah, you pretty much did just throw a name out there for the hell of it.

Anyway Tyler, you asked for new death metal, if you haven't checked these out yet, I suggest you check out [I]Famine[/I] by From Graves Of Valor and [I]Wastelands[/I] by Hacksaw To The Throat... I could probably upload that, the guy who runs Dead By Dawn Recordings sent it to me and the band broke up, so I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

I've heard some FGOV and it was not my thing. I'll check out some Hacksaw though.

Also I'll look into what Jondur posted.

Hacksaw = melodic/tech stuff. Really good vocalwork, but mostly instrumental.

Famine is good stuff

I was skeptical about Famine because ENC was whoring it.

Famine is just an EP, fine, I'll give it another shot. I'm also going to look into the new BDM.

That's just because FGOV plays shows in his area a lot, they're actually really good.

The new BDM is probably their best one.

FGOV isn't that good.

FGOV is ballin. :angry:

Damon's vocals are mad weird.

so when i actually defend myself, you twist it into looking like i think I'm the only one that knows about those four bands. No, but I love the albums i mentioned and no one wants to discuss them.
And I had no idea Neolithic had a myspace, and they only have one CD i'm interested in anyway, called For Destroy the Lament. I mentioned the CD yesterday, so it's not like i just randomly made a post that said "hey guys, Neolithic." So I'll check out their myspace, but i think they are one of those bands where their sound changed dramatically over their career, which is one disadvantage of band myspaces- you're at the mercy of whoever posts the songs.

[QUOTE]No, but I love the albums i mentioned and no one wants to discuss [/QUOTE]
So start a discussion rather than just randomly naming them.

And maybe people don't want to discuss them because they've been discussed to death already.

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15524113]And maybe people don't want to discuss them because they've been discussed to death already.[/QUOTE]
well obviously not if i've never seen anyone talk about them.
Anyway Carnage has Michael Amott and sounds a lot like Entombed but I think they are much better. Dark Recollections is easily one of the best overlooked Swedish death metal albums.

The Neolithic mypace was enough for me to determine they kind of suck.
