I've been listening to this thing

yesterday we went to another convert at Vegas bar. three authorial bands played. we were to go in a big group, but most gave up, so only 5 of us showed.

with all due respect to local rock bands, only the last one was good. the acoustics of the bar is very bad, but the last band managed to play audible music. they played good vibe music that is kinda meh, but I could hear it. so yeah, the two other bands played okay, but the bad mixing or something made it not very enjoyable at all. anyway, I think this night was the most crowded, even though previous concerts had "better" tribute bands played :P very strange. people were unusually "enjoying" although the general alienating mixing. and the usual concert-goes were not present at all; very strange. and when it ended, we went to a 24-hour backery only to find out they are not 24-hour anymore, so we couldn't have that night-snack and eat churros :( mixed experience

Hmmm, i never was a big fan of periphery, not a fan of prog or modern metal in general, but this one is good. I should re-check periphery in the future.

Hails! long time i dont log in! It's been some rough months, but also some really fun ones.

I saw e-force (Eric Forrest from Voivod) last month along a bunch more of bands, it was pretty good, despite that i never was a big fan of Voivod! I reccomend the band's second album "Modified Poison" if someone is willing to give it a try. I'm also planning to watch sargeist live on september.

Oh, and i've been on the hunt for CDs/Cassettes. I found some nice underground Death Metal from the 90's along others:

Conscious Rot - The Soil

Bethlehem - Dictius Te Necare

Definitely one of the best albums i've listened to since Leviathan's Tenth Sub-level. I regret not listening to it before, because it is probably the best CD i got in my shelf right now.

Soundwriting reminds me of the classic 90's bands such as Burzum, Darkthrone, Emperor, but it also has that doomish parts, reminiscent of Candlemass, Black Sabbath, Paradise Lost, etc. The vocals are really similar to the silencer ones, wich i never enjoyed, but they also finish to add that sense of despair and descent to madness to the album. The band really knows how to make a personal sound.

666/10! some choirs and keyobards would have crowned the whole thing, but still a great Album!

Latest addition to the vinyl collection

Good ole days

Back then, we used to place labels on what is true metal and what isn't. Nowadays, we just group everything metal into the genre

Nu-metal revival

Have a coworker or friend that is not into metal? This one is great to introduce them to it

Premium bands of gothic/symphonic black metal include Tristania and Sirenia. But have you heard of Trail of Tears?

Hello, this is my first post. I would like to share this work of art by the Brazilian band called (D.N.R) album name - Do Not Resuscitate - DNR (2013)

Good stuff. The name reminds me of Testament's D.N.R. song.

Today's HotD was filled with dragon galore. Here is a song for it

Well well, quite a few posts here since I last checked. Nice! I'm still not really getting back into nu metal (which kind of has a resurgence it seems), but I do appreciate the nostalgic feeling that keeps coming back with 90s KoRn, for example.

I actually sang "Freak on a Leash" with a friend at a Karaoke bar recently - that was quite fun, I gotta admit ^^

In terms of music, I'm currently listening to Pestilence's "Testimony of the Ancients" and enjoying that one a lot. The following song sounds like full-fledged melodic death metal - back in 1991! :

I've been listening to some Abominable Putridity lately. It's slam metal.

Quite crushing and well done. I've warmed up towards that style a bit after seeing a few bands like Ingested with Fallujah live this year. As long as it's not full-blown "cave-man" styled beating, there's some enjoyable moments to be found within that style.

That's totally fair. For what it's worth, a few years back I saw a Korn tribute band at a live venue on its opening night and ngl they were pretty fun. Would I go out my way to see the real deal? Not particularly but if they happened to be around at let's say a festival I'm at, yeah sure.

I don't think I ever gave Pestilence a listen. Not sure why. In terms of recent listens (that isn't fueling my King Gizzars hyperfixation), I've started listening to some more Gojira and they're slowly warming up to me. They did get my interest with Fortitude a few years back and now I'm poking my head in with the other works they've done, particularly L'Enfant Sauvage and Magma.

But if there's a band that I highly doubt I'll warm up to is Sleep Token. I've given them some listens before and even see them on stage for a little bit but... I don't vibe with them at all.

Totally agree. That's how nostalgia works, I guess ^^

Because they have been in a pretty depressing state for many years now, but their early work is interesting. Most prefer their two earliest albums, but "Testimony" is my favourite so far.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan because their stuff is spotty to me, but "L'Enfant Sauvage" turned out to be my favourite of theirs, with "Mouth of Kala" being my favourite song.

I only know their visuals, I don't think I've heard a single note, but I don't like how they sound even in texts I read about them :-P Don't want to judge, but don't feel the urge to check them out anytime soon.

Amazing band, especially their early to mid releases. Blackened death btw

More Noctem

I've tried listening to some black metal in the past, I didn't really like it. I'm a bigger fan of death metal in general and it's subgenres.

All good. My very first song that got me into metal was Rapture by Morbid Angel. I've been hooked to DM until I discovered Black Metal. Once you go black, you never go back.

I could tell the same thing about death metal. I've been listening to metalcore prior to that, now I don't really listen to metalcore, rather just death metal.

Not a big fan of metalcore. Some decent songs here and there. There is deathcore and blackcore which I find to be superior.

Never heard of blackcore before. I do like deathcore as well. If I had to say a favorite deathcore band, it would most likely be Slaughter to Prevail. Their Kostolom album is amazing.

I assume they mean Blackened Deathcore

Like Lorna Shore or Worm Shepherd

That may have been it. I heard they had gotten subpar at some point and that's when I didn't think much to look into them. But I should at least give their classics a chance.

You're not missing out on anything. I actually wanted to give them a try cause I'm all for metal being mixed with other genres to come up with other ideas. It's what got me to really love Diablo Swing Orchestra for their mixture of metal and swing (and amongst other stuff) but how Sleep Token execute their music is not it. I really can't fathom how they've gotten big when their music bores me so much (seen a bit of them live and still didn't vibe).
