Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted December 24, 2008 I've got to break up this melodic circlejerk here with some Nasum This song at Milwaukee Metalfest was easily the most violent crowd I've ever seen. Shame Mieszko got Tsunami-ed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted December 24, 2008 YYYEEEEEAAAAARRRRGHHHHHH!!!! Next time I get into a fight, I want Nasum as the soundtrack. Could listen to these guys before any battle and I'd be guaranteed to win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2008 I picked up the bonus edition of The Crown's Possessed 13 last night, with the bonus disc featuring a pair of their EPs and some other songs, and also grabbed Kataklysm's Shadows and Dust. I fucking love Kataklysm, man. So fucking solid. Also...I bought me one of these: Only not the Platinum series, but rather the Bronze series, so the neck's a little different. Got a $100 card to Guitar Center from my girl's dad, and this was only $150 due to a small chunk of paint missing from the bottom right "wing" of the body. Neck's a little bent due to no string tension (low calibre strings, untuned, on there), so I threw on a pack of 10-52's and I'm going to re-adjust the action on Sunday.

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2008 I've never had a problem playing any BC Rich besides the clear-body Warlock. THOSE fuckers are both heavy and obnoxious to play, and apparently they fall apart rather easily once the glue starts to dry too much to boot. In fact, I think the only guitars I've ever been genuinely uncomfortable playing have been a Gibson Flying-V and a 7-string version of the ones that John 5 sponsored big when he joined Marilyn Manson back in the late 90's.

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted December 30, 2008 I never cared much for Leviathan, personally. Thought it was really overrated and part of it was just straight up bad. I like Agalloch being near the top of floyd's list, though. Really dig them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 Really? While I'll agree that the second half of the album begins to drop off before the end, I wouldn't say anything on Leviathan was straight-up bad, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 That cover of "One"* Mastodon did for that video game commercial was a godawful piece of shit and makes me slightly apprehensive about the new album. * A small portion of the blame shall be lifted from Mastodon for the fact that, be it the original by Harry Nilsson or covers by Three Dog Night, Aimee Mann, or anyone else, "One" just isn't a good song.

I like Agalloch being near the top of floyd's list, though. Really dig them. Agalloch's LP's are awesome, though the EP's tend to be hit and miss. They're pretty much my favorite Black Metal band. I really should have added Reverend Bizarre's In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend to that list. Eh, I'll just replace and album, or do another tie Think they'll continue with the elemental theme they had going with the last three? I've heard the next one will be another concept album, but I don't know if it's element themed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted January 1, 2009 I'd kind of like to see them go longform on a song on the next one. They have the chops and the influence to go all Isis-y for 15-20 minutes. They basically did on Leviathan, but they're a better band now than they were then.

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crack_the_Skye When asked in multiple interviews Dailor said the record would tell a story dealing variously with the art aesthetics of Tsarist Russia, astral travel, out of body experiences and Stephen Hawking's theories on wormholes. "The story starts with a seed and it grows. It´s a multidemensional story. It starts on planet earth, it deals with astral travel, goes to outer space, you get lost and you go on into a wormhole and you start exploring all sorts of Stephen Hawking's theories, space continuum and all that, you go into the spirit realm, you get sucked into another wormhole that brings you into Tsarist Russia and you get put inside Rasputin´s body and Rasputin is assassinated and you fly off through the crack in the skye and back through outer space into the devil´s dominion, passed him, back into earth and into your body. It´s all real natural and it all kind of comes together. We like it. " Doesn't seem any more ridiculous than the storyline of Blood Mountain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agalloch ain't Black Metal. Never been, never will be. They have some stuff that's nice to listen to though.

Slayer 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2009 whose credibility has eroded to nil over the years You listen to Paradise Lost by choice. Yes, and what? Would attacking my Manowar fandom have been too easy a route? And "by choice"? What exactly does that mean, anyway... as if I could listen to a band not by choice? Okay, maybe I can understand involuntary subjugation to music, like when your mom used to drive you around wherever in Canada you lived in the late 80's and subjugated you to her "Best of MTV Metal Vol 2" cassette tape, complete with Winger, Trixter and Stryper all in one set, giving rise to the elitist fuckhead that we know today, but otherwise it doesn't really strengthen your already tenuous argument there Besides, you listen to a neurotic racist murderer fuckhead who can't produce for shit.

Guest Czecherbear Report post Posted January 4, 2009 I wonder if Slayer's dad was the kind of friendly but firm father figure who, when he really had to, could just flip the switch and put the motherfucking fear of God into an errant son, but only did it once in a blue moon because 1) to do so more frequently would devalue the event and 2)he didn't have to do it frequently. That's what I feel like when Slayer smacks somebody down like that. It's out of f'n nowhere like Shelton Benjamin and makes me cry. dimestore Invision board psychoanalysiser i mean BOARDING HARRRRDDDDDDDD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyways, here's some North American release dates for the first quarter of '09 (as referenced in the "2009: A Year in Music" thread). I'm just going to post the ones I'm most excited about: January 13 Short Sharp Shock - The Dividing Line Stuck Mojo - The Great Revival February 3 Cannibal Corpse - Evisceration Plague Zombi - Spirit Animal (don't really know why it's listed under metal releases) February 24 God Forbid - Earthsblood (though I never got Act of Treason, so this may just be a skip over) Absu - Absu (if I can even find some of their stuff up here, because Newbury Comics never has any of their shit) There's also the rumored new Anthrax with their new singer, as well as the possibility of new Fear Factory.
