[quote=Aaron;18824738]Alright, what new shit's good and heavy and not too techy.

Unrelated; best Devil Townsend release to start with?[/quote]
Cough

Terria's a good standout you could try, but pretty much everything he's done is awesome, including SYL.

I love SYL. Gene Hoglan is a big influence. Literally.

Is his stuff meant to be ordered at all?

not that i know of, my first solo devin townsend (or devin townsend band) exposure was terria and then accelerated evolution, but definitely check out everything.

I can't stop listening to Woods of Ypres at the moment. Brilliant band.

Could anyone recommend slowcore jams to mope around to?

faustcoven

[QUOTE=kitsch;18857327]anyone got some recs for noise based and or blackend doom?[/QUOTE]

As far as blackened doom goes;

Black Bile - [i]Cloacal Meditation[/i]
Elysian Blaze - [i]Levitating The Carnal[/i]
Funeral Mourning - [i]Drown In Solitude[/i]

i second cloacal meditation, shit is immense

also ghast is a must for blackened doom

Not looking for any specific musical suggestion, but if anyone would be so kind as to post some good/active blogs for music right now that I might not know about that would be cool. My downloading of new stuff has been a bit lackluster lately and I need to go on a spree, you guys have a general idea of what I like so I trust your judgement.

What Hate Forest albums should I start with? Never really given them a listen.

the most ancient ones

so like the first ones?

i'm fixin' to rape you

I'm looking for more ambient/dark noise stuff similar to Tim Hecker and SoiSong.

never listened to either of those but some of my favourite dark ambient is -

Halo Manash - SYoMA
Archon Satani - Mind of Flesh & Bones
Dead Can Dance - Within the Realm of a Dying Sun
Lustmord - Heresy
Ben Frost - Theory of Machines
Current 93 - Imperium
Autopsia - Palladium
7 From Life - Souls Of Dead Sharks
Artefactum - Rosarium Hermeticum
Atrium Carceri - Cellblock
Moëvöt - Abgzvoryathre
:zoviet*france: - Popular Soviet Songs and Youth Music
Allegory Chapel Ltd. - Trip

i back moevot hard

tim hecker isn't dark ambient tho, dunno what the other one is. he has a pretty large discog though, so probably best to grab more hecker albums.

also check out: belong - [I]october language[/I]

and maybe: yellow swans - [I]going places[/I]

alright, thanks. i'll take a peek.

so far I'm really enjoying Atrium Carceri

[QUOTE=Ca5bah;18863898]so far I'm really enjoying Atrium Carceri[/QUOTE]

check out other artists off of the Cold Meat Industry label

Recommend me some weird / original but classic DM / Thrash. Something on the lines of:

Atheist
Death
Demilich
Nocturnus
Gorguts
Aspid
Coroner
Cynic
Watchtower
Meshuggah

etc.

sororicide - the entity

Finding Clyde
 

Pretty sick band, I'd say. Check them out here on Facebook with their single "Get Higher" http://on.fb.me/KqEBVn

Can you guys rec me some "epic" sounding heavy/power metal with an 80's kind of sound and vocals that aren't super gay?

[QUOTE=Morumbar;18895478]Can you guys rec me some "epic" sounding heavy/power metal with an 80's kind of sound and vocals that aren't super gay?[/QUOTE]

Manilla Road. Vocals can be a bit peculiar but they're far from super gay, I'd say.

fuck yeah manilla road

also try Brocas Helm, Omen, Attacker, old Jag Panzer

you could also look into NWOBHM like Satan, Atomkraft, Jaguar, Tank, etc

Cheers, dudes. I've heard a song or two from Manilla Road on Youtube before, but never looked into them. Same goes for Jag Panzer, I suppose.

Will check these out.

Jag Panzer - Ample Destruction is elite as fuck

Sounds good.

Just realised I'd come across most of these and more in the same vein in this article a month or so ago:
[url]http://www.pinpointmusic.com/tape-wyrm-xxi-uspm/[/url]

Think I'm just gonna go delve into USPM for a while.

yeah that list is excellent

only slightly on topic but Manilla Road are amazing, especially Crystal Logic.

Give Us Your Bones is a really new band with a free EP on bandcamp. They're all nice dudes too. It's kind of like At The Drive-In mixed with post-rock and some pop-punk, i know that makes no sense.
