I bought the Deluxe Edition of Iconoclast today :)

Excellent, that's the exact version of the album everyone should get. I really wonder who would pick up the standard version.

I just started listenning to the album. So right now... I'm three tracks into it. The opener is kind of so-so... They tried too hard to be prog with this one, but the riffs really don't seem to bring much to the progression. I can't help but think that most of the riffs would have fitted better in shorter tracks.

I thought the opener was really good. Easily one of my top picks for metal songs so far.

And the third track is ok, I found nothing special during my first listen.

So how was the rest? Keep in mind that several listens will help the listening experience of the album. I've found myself liking it a lot as a result.

I know what you mean but I was saying Hammers of Misfortune has some good looking musicians so it really is a win-win situation for them. Of course, if their music sucked I wouldn't even bother with them but that's not so.

Alright. That's another band I really should check then :P

Definitely. However, it's easier to get into them if you already know Slough Feg. Not sure what you think of them but for Hammers of Misfortune, give these songs a shot:

Doomed Parade
The August Engine, Pt. 2
Election Day (video image is NSFW)

Keep in mind that none of their albums so far rehashes the same style. The debut album The Bastard had black metal elements which are now absent in the later works. The most recent album has a fair amount of 70s prog rock elements so as you can tell, they are a band that want to try different ways to make high quality music. I only wonder what direction they'll take with the new album that should be coming out in October.

On another note, the Blotted Science CD arrived today so I'm no longer limited to Spotify to listen to it.

Fits rather well when they play meditative minimalist music.

I don't know if this news is old, but apparently Fleshgod Apocalypse have a new album called 'Agony' planned for release on the 9th of August.

In comparison to their other album arts it just looks rubbish. I especially don't like the font Mastodon is in.

I saw this Post Metal two piece Khuda at a free show last night, maybe someone here will dig it.

Antaeus

The new mastodon album looks alright, but Blood Mountain and Crack the Skye had really cool covers. Also they released a cover of Just Got Paid by ZZ Top. That song has been covered a lot. Orange Goblin and Keelhaul both made good covers of it.

If it could be ace like Oracles, then I'd really appreciate it. The Mafia EP was ok, but way too "melodeath" melodic if you know what I mean. I liked the tracks from Oracles better, they are a lot more unique and well-written.

Hipster Sludge Hardcore Pony Metal... Definitely looks cool...

Does anyone know any extreme metal bands from Italy? I've noticed I only listen to one band from Italy (Graveworm) and I would like more. But I want to see extreme bands.

We were just discussing Fleshgod Apocalypse. That's one more. I also suggest you listen to the Italian Onirik, which is a Death Metal band who released a split album with Fleshgod Apocalypse and other DM and Grindcore bands from Italia. I can't think of any others right now. But I'm pretty sure there is more :)

Deathspell Omega ("Avant" Black Metal)
Ufomammut (Stoner/Sludge/Doom. Not extreme, but still good)
Ephel Duath (Weird mix of Jazz and Black metal)
Enoch (Funeral Doom)

I forgot they were actually French. Either way, you should check them out.

Whoa, that is out of the ordinary for Mastodon. I was expecting the new album to have similar artistic style to the last few albums so this one took me by surprise.

This is good, too.

Ufomammut rule. I don't know how to pronounce their name though.

Downloading more Wo Fat, because Wo Fat are fucking gnarly.

I'm not cool at all, I shuffle to hard style :(

I'm starting to enjoy Oracles alot more now and I can see what you meant about Mafia being more melodic. There's a song from the upcoming album incase you weren't aware. They seem to making alot more use of the orchestral instruments than in the other albums.

Recently, The Project Hate has become my favorite band. Their first album was great, and they only get better from there, at least in my opinion. Plus, Lord K responds to emails that fans send to him, including mine. What do you guys think of the band?

Also, how are the riffs I'm writing? I'm pretty sure I'm still a lot better at programming drums than guitars.

I think it would be

oo (like who) - foh (like poe) - mah (like ma, like you would refer to yer ma) - moot (like poot), with the emphasis being on the first syllable. so, OO-foh-mah-moot

Also, I've been meaning to check out Wo Fat.

Y'all should eat your vegetables cuz it's fun in the party in my tummy.

Have any of y'all seen Altered States, starring William Hurt? It's a bugged out movie, though the part where he ends up in the zoo was retarded. plus, there's the dick and balls...so, yeah....but still, it's a trippy ass movie.

I'm only bringing this up because somebody made a video with scenes from that using a song by Ufomammut.

Also Ufomammut is like my favorite thing to get ridiculously stoned to and stare at the posters on my ceiling.

You can watch Mastodon's set at Sonisphere live here at 2:50, and Opeth's later on.

I'm not sure if this is UK exclusive.

Speaking of Mastodon, I find myself enjoying the Deathbound song more and more after repeated listens. Hopefully the new album will be even better.

On another note, I have a kickass Dio figurine as well as a Slough Feg Traveller T-Shirt.
