So, I'm digging Orphaned Land a lot right now, particularly their latest album which just gets better and better.

Zune

Ah yes. Doesn't seem to be widely available here. I go on Amazon.co.uk and the iPod is four results down for "Zune".

Love Orphaned Land. I personally prefer Mabool than The Way of the ORWarriOR.

Like do you bring an iPod, Zune, Walkman, Boom Box, your Phone, etc.

Right now I'm using the iPod Video (or what they now call the iPod Classic) 120GB. I use it with Bose earphones or with a stereo adapter in the car. Otherwise, I use my computer.

Like Rammstein ? :O

Ya know earlier today I was thinking to myself
"I would pay to hear an album of nothing but death metal covers, of songs by The Bee Gees and Abba."
How would you feel if you saw that in front of you in a music store?

Funny.

Fuck you Cannibal Corpse haters.

Maybe I need to give Mabool more time to adapt to but right now The Never Ending Way of the ORWarriOR is one I keep going back to. Both parts of The Path show quite an enormous performance from them.

Death Metal humor, I love it :)

And now for another great discovery: Ogre's Plague of the Planet. 37 minute doom metal song that has fun exploring hard rock and early heavy metal elements as well as some trippy phases. I think I still prefer something like Edge of Sanity's Crimson but this is still very good.

Hah, already you've listened to it more than I have. I've only listened to it once and have bought the CD from the label's store. Great way to support the both since they deserve it with a record like this. Then again, this is the same label that's been doing all these Manilla Road re-issues as well as any new releases so they deserve all the credit.

Anyone here listen to Shinki Chen?

Its a good album dude. I went about trying to find other albums by then to download and stuff but I couldn't find their second album Seven Hells, but I found stuff for their first album Dawn Of The Proto-Man.

No but it's pretty good. From 70s stuff, I really need to get a lot more prog rock. I should put Yes at the very top since it's not going to matter what my dad gets from them since he only intends to have Going for the One anyway.

Seems Plague of the Planet is the easiest to find. I'm not so focused on the other two albums just yet but I'll get to them eventually.

I'm not that big of a CC fan, but Corpsegrinder seems like a pretty cool guy.

Yeah. Totally forgot where I heard them though....same with the band Suck. They only released one album and its mostly covers. The album is from 1970 and they have a cover of 21st Century Schizoid Man and War Pigs.
I recently downloaded most (if not all of) Yes' discography. Really good download if I say so myself. I also got Rush's first 9 albums. Mostly because I dont know why but those are my favorites out of all of their albums....it made me realize I never listened to all of Caress Of Steel or A Farewell To Kings.

Yeah it does seem incredibly easy to get....but I'll get their second album eventually. Even if I have to scour the deepest depths of the internet to find it.....or until i get a physical copy of the album. Whichever comes first.

I finally got around to watching Such Hawk Such Hounds just now.
And now I have a short list of bands I need to look up and listen to. Although some of the bands I wrote down are ones I already know but I feel I need to either get their stuff or listen to them more than I do already.
For example I wrote down: Hawkwind, Fatso Jetson, The Obsessed, Sir Lord Baltimore, and Monster Magnet. Its not that I haven't listened to those bands. I just feel I haven't listened to them enough.

If anyone here has not watched it yet I highly recommend giving it a watch.

I used to back when I was checking out the Japanese 60s/70s rock scene. You should check out the band he was in: Speed, Glue & Shinki.

That covers up to Signals. I actually don't have that album yet but I suppose as long as I have essentials such as 2112, Moving Pictures and Hemispheres, I shouldn't have to worry about anything. I do have Grace Under Pressure but that album really pales in comparison to everything before it. Even Caress of Steel is better but then again, that album isn't so bad; it's just not on par with the classic albums which were from around that era.

I'm awaiting the physical copy of Plague of the Planet so I'm good there. I think with my latest batch of CDs I ordered, that will be the last of it until Christmas. My money is really taking a toll at this point.

I've never even heard of Fatso Jetson or The Obsessed before. As for Hawkwind and Sir Lord Baltimore, I have some of their stuff and Sir Lord Baltimore's music is good. However, their few albums are hard to come by and for being the band known for getting the term heavy metal created via magazine, you'd think more would be done for them.

I mostly liked Signals for Subdivisions, New World Man, and Chemistry. I mean it's an okay album but I dont know...I'm really tired at the moment cause its going on 5:30 in the morning and I didn't get any sleep. Doesn't help much that I was walking across town with my phone in my pocket listening to De Vermis Mysteriis at like 2 to get something to drink, and not realizing some wires were sticking out of my headphones which were in turn electrocuting me hahahaha.

I gave the site a once over and liked some of the stuff they had on there. I may possibly go about getting a copy of that album at some point but I don't know when. But at the moment I want to get my hands on a copy of Gods Of The Earth by The Sword so when I get Apocryphon I'll have all 4 of their albums. Still also need to get Red Fang. And I'm looking around to see if I can find either some Electric Wizard or Sleep Vol. 1 since for the Sleep album it seems that whenever I find it cheap I miss out on it at the last minute.

They aren't that bad. The Obsessed was the band Wino was in before he joined Saint Vitus. Him joining Saint Vitus caused them to break up. Then when he left Saint Vitus they got back together with Scott Reeder on bass. Scott Reeder went on to join Kyuss and play on Welcome To Sky Valley and ....And The Circus Leaves Town. They only have 3 albums though.

Ya ever listen to Shrinebuilder?
It has Wino on guitar and vocals, Al Cisneros on bass and vocals, Scott Kelly on guitar, and Dale Crover on drums.

For Fatso Jetson, they're not that bad. They're more Desert Punk though.
Although I've probably only listened to maybe one album by them.

Also for Sir Lord Baltimore and Hawkwind. I don't have anything by them. Which disappoints me a great deal. Then again there are tons of bands I haven't gotten around to getting stuff for so this is nothing new.

Also just got 2 albums by The Cosmic Dead, an album by Atolah, and an album by Stonehelm.
If you haven't heard them I highly recommend giving them a listen. Mainly The Cosmic Dead if you're into Psychedelic music. Oh and check out Dead Meadow

I love hawkwind, dude. They're PERFECT acid music. I never get tired of them.

In a similar vein, I just discovered A Forest of Stars, which is psychedelic black metal akin to Oranssi Pazuzu. Highly recommended, so happy I found their stuff. It's so weird and trippy.

I think Bruce recommended them to me a while ago. I can't remember their stuff, though. I should look into them.

I'll take that recommandation :)

I only have the album Opportunistic Thieves of Spring. I'll have to relisten to make a good opinion :)

Sounds like something Bruce would like.

Also, what's the Metal Hell's opinion on Alcest? They've gotten a lot of hate for being too "happy", but I happen to be one who enjoys a bit of shoegaze rock with his black metal, and having just gotten a whole bunch of Alcest, I'm liking it.

I, love Alcest. Then again I do enjoy Shoegaze and Black Metal so I guess it makes sense.
I got more into then after I heard stuff off of Les Voyage de l'Ame.

Does anyone here listen to Les Discrets or Amesoeurs?

You know, I can never get tired of Helloween. Keepers 1 and 2 always maintain many great moments for me and even now I still find something new from them to enjoy. For knowing this band for over six years now, they have definitely lasted me well. However, that won't be a problem for Slough Feg to remain awesome for me for that long. It doesn't even feel like three years when I first discovered them.

So one of those bands led to Saint Vitus? There's a history for you.

Yet more bands I have not checked out.

For Hawkwind, I do recommend Hall of the Mountain Grill. Side A is really trippy and I say Side A since it all feels like they join together.

I know I'm really late on this news but I have to pay my respect in every way I can to the greatest black metal musician in history, Trondr Nefas of Urgehal. My favorite black metal band of all time lost pretty much everything and I am absolutely devastated. I still can't believe it. Trondr will be in our hearts forever and his soul will live on, hail black metal \m/
