Klabautamann released a new album in November. Bruce did not tell me this.

I just can't watch the whole thing bro.... so bad.... so bad and it has over 5 million views.... I pity this world.

Ufomammut is releasing a new album in April. sweet psychedelic droning tits.

I'm listening to a new German black metal band called Venenum. not bad. pretty raw sounding production, but not awful. I'm diggin' it so far.

er, death metal, I guess. whatev.

At 19 hours ago, Sense-Offender wrote: Aside from Scale the Summit, which is progressive metal, all of those bands you mentioned are post-rock, not "post-metal". Plus, I don't hear any metal influence in Explosions in the Sky or God is an Astronaut. I don't know about if These Trees Could Talk, though, because I still haven't listened to them. And "post-metal" is still metal. I definitely consider AAL to be progressive metal.

With Sense on this one. The bands mentionned by AniMetal are Post-Rock, and Animals As Leaders definitely doesn't fit the genre. It's not just about being progressive and instrumental. Post-Rock and Progressive Metal are two completely different genres.

Post-metal and post-rock are the same thing to me. I've yet to hear an explanation as to what separates them.

Post-metal more ofen than not, has vocals, whereas post-rock more often does not. Guitars in post-metal are less texture and timbre oriented than in post-rock, and of course, metal is often more low and bassy. It's really one of those things that's hard to explain. You just kind of get to know.

Plus, Post-Rock takes his roots in Rock and Post-Metal in Metal. As I said previously, both have different roots but evolved the same way. Both have a lot of texture, soundscape, progressive elements and really atmospheric feel, but they evolved from different musical genres.

Just curious.

never fapped to pics of her
because (and i know this must sound weird to everyone here) ive seen a ton of chicks and i have seen none which look anywhere near as pleasing to the eye to me as my girlfriend. i doubt anybody here would think she looks as good as i think she does. but i think shes REALLY hot. even if she doesnt even think that and is confused why i think that...
but im not going with her for her looks. im going out with her because i love her :)
so id say to me everyone thats not my gf is a 3 and shes a 10 ;)

i bet i sounded really weird there...

I now have all of the full lengths by Klabautamann. I doubt they could possibly top Merkur, but I bet they still rock.

Also, I'm checking out some of the stuff Dalnaki recommended me a while ago. digging several of the tracks he linked. still got more to hear.

Wehrmacht - Shark Attack

Zdzislaw Beksinski

This guy makes the most Metal paintings in the world

Alcest - Les Voyages De L'Ã'me

I could totally see that first painting on some kind of experimental post-black metal album. nice find, dude.

Actually, this is on the cover of the Killing Emptiness by Ice Ages, which is an industrial/darkwave band that happens to have Richard Lederer from Summoning.

I'm not really surprised any artist playing dark, ambient, soundscaping or immersive music woud like to use this artist's awesome work to illustrate their music.

Both are amazing. The first one is possibly the one that first catched my eyes and made me want to see more of his work.

The feeling of this one is amazing, especially with the ruins and buildings in the background. The few pale lights on this painting make the whole thing even more gloomy and dark, as it really makes the subject in the foreground look even darker and... more dead... if that makes any kind of sense !

Alcest - Summer's Glory

This is so terrible it's making me laugh.

Also, whoever said they would like Adagio more if they didn't have a vocalist, I enjoy their vocals. What's wrong with them?

I just couldn´t finish viewing.

Review posted for Pilgrim's Misery Wizard. Decent debut but I'd like to see them do a whole lot better next time to show their true potential.

Hey, guys, check out Stolen Babies. They're like rock/metal with a cabaret influence...and an awesome upright bass. And their singer/accordion player is hot. If Danny Elfman had a rock band, it would probably sound like them. The Sharone brothers are both in the band, but they don't sound anything like any of the bands with which either of them have been involved.

The singer's voice isn't bad, but I don't much appreciate the melodies of the vocal parts, yet I like the instrumentals. I just think they'd be better as an instrumental band.

Motorhead is good, but I honestly think they're a bit overrated.

I just listenned to one of their titles named Filistata, and I have to say it sounds pretty good. Avantgarde material is always interresting to look into. From what I've heard, it's quite work the listen. I'll get one of their albums as soon as I can :)

Hell I'm even listening to Shoot You in The Back right now.

I'm not even gonna rage if you don't like them.

I really like Motorhead, specially for the guitar and bass riffs that are quick but with rhythm.

I like that song, but I prefer a Year of Judges and Push Button.

42 years ago yesterday i was 5
and a lil band called Black Sabbath released their 1st album and music was changed forever
42..doug was right

happy valentines to any who want one
and hails and hugs for old friends and new

shit is happening hyperspeed now
my old guitarist wants to record again
Lucifer's Lightbulb will definitely be on a comp being released on 4/20
old recordings finally gonna see the light of day..finally
went down to the crossroads with guitar and blade...made a new contract \,,/

last i heard from my sparrow with leukemia she told me she was going into the hospital for a week since treatment so far wasn't working...that was 2 weeks ago...
lady i love more than anyone is pissed at me and hasn't talked to me in weeks..but we still kinda keep in touch *S*

my fingertips are still shredded a bit from last two jam sessions
have a ton of old lyrics staring at me and a bunch of musical ideas
i can now put em together
fukk yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

depending on how i feel when i awake i record my first vocals in years along with some acoustic playing
blackened blues...has a nice sound to it..feels right
see how it goes

made a few new band friends recently..too many to mention for now considering i'm tired
next time for sure
couple made me feel old..old fans of Death Squad from back in the day

kicks ass being a full time musician again without a wife or kids in the way...should be hitting the road for a few gigs by mid summer

hell yeah...life is good

keep it HEAVY
peace

Love those guys. They may get samey after a while but I love their consistency and their recent works have proven to be some of the best they've done. Inferno is by far my favourite from them.

Anyone here listened to Exivious? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewdmxcdDSEA

I wish you the best of luck, Bill. blackened blues, you say? interesting.

I listened to that Exivious track. pretty good. I like technical instrumental stuff like that. Some of it sounds like someone trying to hard, but when it's good, it is very nice. Canvas Solaris is a good example of technical metal that tries to do too much. They still have some songs that are sick, though.

So, after listening to the stuff Dalnaki recommended me, I've found several bands I intend to listen to a lot more. Some of them, I had already heard of, but never bothered to look into, and some I've never heard of before. The following bands seem to be pretty damn tits.

Flotsam and Jetsam
Necrosanct
Brutality
R.U Dead?
Wehrmacht
Demolition Hammer
Anacrusis
Lääz Rockit
Sadus
Sacrilege

Thanks to Dal.

Also, I'm really digging Absu right now. I had heard of them ages ago, but never bothered with 'em until recently.

Didn't like Morbid Angel's Illud Divinium Insamus? How about a remix of it?!?

well i decided id post on here since i haven't for like 2 days

doubt anyone missed me hahaha

how was everyone's Valentine's Day?
mine was okay i guess
it could have been better but im not complaining

first valentine's day i celebrated where i had a girlfriend at the time...

anyone ever listen to a band called Stoned Jesus?

did anyone have a productive past few days?
i learned the beginning to Curl Of The Burl by Mastodon and Dirt Wizard by Red Fang

by ear O:

other than all of this stuff nothing really happened to me lately

i hope nothing serious is wrong with you or anything like that Bill

So you think Canvas Solaris aren't that much of a good technical metal band. Good to know... because last.fm keeps recommanding them to me. Apparently, they would be similar to bands like Gordian Know, Spastic Ink, Exivious and Blotted Science. According to you, they are not. Good to know.
