Meh, there's lyrics far worse than them.

Even when I do find something worth replying to, I sometimes don't feel like bothering. And it hurts my brain to read a lot of the posts there.

I do lurk the General forum as well, but only to hope I find a thread made by Wade or someone complaining about my friend's Adolf Hitler flashes, and perhaps to see if anyone complains about me as well. Besides that, the forum is flooded by fucking terrible posters.

It's MySpace, so I won't even think about touching that link.

Vocals are pretty fail at times. So far satans doom is a pretty sweet song guitar wise.

Indeed.

However, if you're looking for good vocals, do not, I repeat, DO NOT listen to anything beyond Blood World.

So, any good thrash albums coming out any time soon?

The rumour mill suggests a new Anthrax album this year if they sort their vocalist issues out..... >_>

IRON MAIDEN IS COMING TO MY TOWN!!!!!!!!!!!
HOLY SHIT! I CANT WAIT DUDE!

Not that I know of. I was disappointed with Exodus' latest offering, and none of the bigger thrash bands I know are putting anything out soon though. Maybe Metallica? But that's spotty at best.

I'll try to post more regularly. For whatever that's worth.

Thanks Sense-Offender

Umm... Yay?

Sechs?

The T-Shirt I'm wearing right now celebrates somethingthat happened in 1967, though it resembles some black metal band's name. Their name begins with B, and I think I've seen a few of you discuss them.

Eh, cool shirt anyway.

Nice man all the full-lengths.

I got myself:

Nevermore - Dreaming Neon Black
Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor

I haven't gotten any new albums except Ulver's black metal trilogie, which I got last week.

Wanna give me recommendations for new albums? I mainly listen to avant-garde, folk/viking, and black, but I like everything.

Ambient and some other artist names sound good?

At 1/24/08 10:21 PM, D3NTATUS wrote: Wanna give me recommendations for new albums?

Well, I think you've seen all my avant-garde reccomendations (I can list them again if you want). The only two I can think of that I haven't reccomended are Kayo Dot and Maudlin of the Well. In my opinion, they have some good stuff and some not so good stuff. There's also Peccatum. I'm not sure if I've reccomended that. But you probably know them already.

For non-avant-garde stuff I think maybe you'd like Blut Aus Nord, Summoning, Raventhrone, Rivendell, Agatus, Zemial, Elffor, Tumulus, Scald, Odroerir, Empyrium, Pazuzu, or Die Verbannten Kinder Evas.

Unless you haven't heard of Professor Fate, Mick Kenney's side project. That stuff is fuking great.

ObZen by Meshuggah. A decent quality copy just "came out" and it fucking owns. I've been listening to it all day and I am damn impressed. Its kinda avant-garde (not really, more unusually technical than anything else), but its just a good album. Very recommended to those who like newer Meshuggah or their type of tech-thrash stuff.

It was a good birthday surprise (technically yesterday as I write this, as I'm in EST).

I'm in dire need of some new stuff myself, but regardless, here are some of my suggestions:

Sigh - Hangman's Hymn (avant-garde)
Unexpect - In A Flesh Aquarium (avant-garde)
Sapthuran - The Wanderer (black)
Slumber - Fallout (doom)
Kataxu - Hunger of Elements (NSBM)

I guess this brings up a small footnote i forgot to mention: i don't listen to NSBM. no matter how good the music itself is, I wont listen to it if it's NS. The only exception I've made is Burzum, and that's because he doesn't really discuss it in his music.

but thanks for the recs, keep them coming (hehe coming)

Being an Anaal Nathrakh fan and a fan of Mike Kenney's various works, I checked out Professor Fate.

You were spot on, it's fucking great stuff.

Does anyone have any experience with Paysage d'Hiver? Are they worth it?

i would say no, i got the s/t demo and the quality was bollocks and it just wasnt fun or grim and kvlt all the metal archives reviews for it are total lies in my opinion

My band's gig kicks off at 7pm tonight, GMT, el woot! And I found out we have a joint headline slot for our 3rd ever gig on march 8th, Gravesend if anyone lives near there out of the MH's UK members. I'm so pumped up as our song "Embrace The Fallen" sounds very I Killed The Prom Queenish, with added BM style vocals. Very sick stuff. :D

You mean by getting the right vocalist? They have one now at least. However, I'm not looking forward to their new album. I get the feeling it'll be something like The Atrocious Exhibition, which was a huge disappointment.

Why not wait until 266 pages time? :) Also, happy 1400 pages Metal Hell.

In interest, who would you think of as a good vocalist? I'm personally tempted, but not yet fully swayed, with the idea of Corey Taylor as the Metal Hammer magazine suggested as an ideal vocalist. But he'd never do it this year because of the new Slipknot album being 'heavy penciled' for an autumn release not to mention Stone Sour.

Judging by his work with Stone Sour and Slipknot, I don't think Corey Taylor would fill the Anthrax quota.
Also not to mention the taint it would put on the band, considering the reputation of his previous bands

To spice it up a bit I reckon a good vocalist would be Warrel Dane (Nevermore). Or for a more straight-forward Thrash go Chuck Billy (Testament) or Bobby Ellsworth (Overkill).

I don't even listen to an artist if I know he or she follows NS whether or not it is ever mentioned in the music. I stopped listening to Drudkh as soon as I found out about the NS ties.

thats a shame because Kataxu, Hunger of the elements is really good, i mean pure awesome, look them up on MA and browse through their lyrics i dont think they are massively ns and you certainly cant tell whilst you're listening
