do you suppose it's better to suck on albums than live? i would think so because you only record once and you're playing live damn near every night....

If you sound great on album but suck live, you get thrown on good bills (Burning The Masses anyone?).

who are they touring with? that's kinda ****ed up, who cares if you record well. People came to see a goddamn show! If you're not going to be entertaining, at least be like Opeth and play your music perfectly

Or play it mad sloppy but have tons of balls and gravitas like Hendrix or [B]THE CHARIOT[/B]

The Chariot is so sloppy live, but just watching Josh Scogin really makes up for it hahaha.

agreed, still need to give that band another chance. Love his vocals, not sure about the rest..

I love them on album and live.

You can still tell what's going on live, it's just not very tight... which is to be expected with how much of ****ing idiots they act like on stage ahaha.

They might actually be tighter now though, they have some new members.

when you're running around swinging your guitar like a goddamn speed freak lumberjack, how many notes are you really going to hit?

who cares if it sounds good, it's entertaining. I would rather watch that than a band stand there being boring playing everything perfect

I agree, The Chariot is a lot better than nu-Job For A Cowboy.

what? i don't get it...unless you're stating how much JFAC suck at life

the one guitarist quit to go back to school, he was going to become a doctor but left to be in the band full time! at least he was smart enough to jump ship

[QUOTE=hismajestythepope;17203481]Is it like, standard Swedish DM? Or does it actually stand out for a reason?[/QUOTE]

its not standard Swedish death but the vocals are similar. after listening to it a couple times it gets a bit repetitive but its still a relentless album.

sorry this was a bit late

yeah, we're talking about shitty live bands

[QUOTE=sean2332;17203983]what? i don't get it...unless you're stating how much JFAC suck at life[/quote]
Like, JFAC used to be awesome live, now they're boring as ****.

[quote]the one guitarist quit to go back to school, he was going to become a doctor but left to be in the band full time! at least he was smart enough to jump ship[/QUOTE]
:lol: what a retard.

Conversely Cody from KOTA quit to actually follow through with med school.

@jrowa: what is the guitarwork like?

im horrible at explaining **** but the riffs arent very clean and more of a distorted riff. id say their focus is more on the drums and the vocals. the riffs would have sounded much better if they were cleaner and less fuzzy.

dude from JFAC quit school joined the band than went back to school quit the band

as much as i a hate going to school, id rather be there than play for JFAC

i dunno why you would give up medical school, not just normal college for some band...maybe it's just me

Yeah, med school is like... you got into ****ing med school, you're set for like, JFAC is like, a trend.

Dude fuzzy is a good thing, it's DM.

trend that got played out between their goddamn EP and full length...

Their EP was awesome.

Kicking out Andy Arcurio was the stupidest **** they ever did.

not gonna lie, that album was honesly one of the first that got me into deathcore

[QUOTE=hismajestythepope;17204025]Yeah, med school is like... you got into ****ing med school, you're set for like, JFAC is like, a trend.

like i said im not good at explaining. i dont think fuzzy was the best word. honestly just check them out on myspace, youll waste more time asking me haha

Fair enough. Remind me tomorrow haha.

haha, ill post up their myspace in the morning

[quote=sean2332;17203943]is there any reason they dropped the [I]from[/I]? seems kinda strange and pointless[/quote]
"Me and Jeff never really liked the "From" anyway so everyone agreed we'd go ahead and drop it when we signed to Relapse. Everyone called us Graves of Valor so we didn't really think it would make much of a difference. It seemed to bother a bunch of people though. We still get people sending us messages bitching about the name change."

demonical's album was pretty good, but revolting's is still my favorite swedish DM album this year by a fairly large margin

im gonna listen to that Revolting album soon. theres another swedish death metal band called Maim that released a good album this year.

here you go mappy, ill be gone most of the day so im just posting their myspace now,
http://www.myspace.com/thedemonicalhorde

ya maim's was probably my second favorite after revolting, paganizer and ribspreader were kinda average

i havent heard the Ribspreader album yet but i heard a few songs off of Paganizer and it sounded good

graves of valor sounds better anyway

it doesn't sound as awkward, it's like band that start with The, kinda pointless

Why are you talking about GoV in a death metal thread?

Late 80's/early 90's death metal is still the best. Obituary, Desultory, Death, Entombed, Possessed, Dismember, etc.

so can someone just name off a few classic DM albums I should own? Stuff like Obituary's Cause of Death or Cryptopsy's None So Vile. Like I'm making it my goal today to acquire all classic DM albums, so any help is appreciated from Sputnik.

If you listen to it with a good set of headphones your ears will be blow due to the amount of snare ***-kickery the album projects.
