Yeah, I've been wondering about Swansong. All Music says it's their best, but other reviews have said it's shit. I get what you're saying, LP5 and Heartwork are both very clean steel polished. Love the drummer. I heard recently that he had a massive stroke and is in a wheelchair. Suck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
didn't know Ken Owen had a stroke... :/ as for 'Swansong', i think it wasn't that bad as they say... actually, it was quite good - a more song-strucured album and the most accessible one they made. but if you remove Walker's growlish vocals, there is very little grindcore-ish left, which might have alienated many hardcore fans. but it's still worth giving a listen i think! |

lightning bolt is good mike patton sucks calculating infinity is classic guitar solos are dumb everyone should listen to : - Last Days of Humanity - Pig Destroyer - Vomit Remnants - Torsofuck - Internal Suffering - Birdflesh - Vulgar Pigeons - Malignancy - Devourment - Cock and Ball Torture - Leng Tch'e - Bound and Gagged - Warsore - Unholy Grave - Squash Bowels - Dead Infection - Fuck on the Beach - Charles Bronson Just to name a few. |

Ok then! Actually it was technically a "massive brain hemorrhage" that Ken suffered from. Also, I just leared on the net that Chuck Schulinder from Death died of cancer. Goddamn. |

"Cock and Ball Torture"??? Are you fucking kidding me? That can't be a real band name - can it? Shop at Wallgreens by the way. |
||||||||

i kid you not, go onto soulseek and hear metal like you've never heard before upon searching "cock and ball torture" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Only if you promise to shop at Walllgreens. :) |

There is no God; and if there is it is not a loving/sympathetic deity. I don't know for sure, just my gut. |

Bullshit is why. I just got hired on as an assistant manager after college. It sucks, but it pays ok. |

||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
How was it? Shitty? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

Feces smells. |

BATHTUB SHITTER IS AMAZING!!! 'fireworks' and 'fuck hip raper' are some of the illest joints i've heard in a while |

Hello guys, I saw Suffocation 4 hours ago, it was a good brutal show, but with a small audience :( maybe because next weekend Death Angel+Metal Church+Mayhem plays here. I got some pics of me with the band (with my camera of the past millenium, sorry I still don't have a digital one), hope to show you the best one (where I look less dumb) also one with the girlfriend of Mike Smith ;) I saw Dying Fetus and Morbid Angel (with David Vincent on the vocals) a month ago. AWESOME show, always is nice to remember that actually some humans can play at inhuman speed. CARCASS, cool to see finally someone recognize them in xltronic. Necroticism is absolutely my favorite death metal album of all the time, always close to my heart. There is a recent interesting interview with Jeff Walker and Ken Owen at the Earache site, also the recent "Choice Cuts" compilation with their 2 Peel Sessions. It's a tragedy that the original vocalist from Arcturus was replaced with the vocalist of Spiral Architect (amazing prog metal band btw), due to the negative of the singer of make shows with the band... mr. Hellhammer... prepare to met Neto again!! \m/ |

That's great that you are able to go see these bands live still. I live in the States, and they don't come around where I live. I read an interview with Ken Owens in the new issue of Metal Maniacs magazine. Seeing that Necroticism is your favorite death metal album, what's your opinion of Heartwork? |

I saw Dillinger Escape Plan Live 2 years ago, they were incredible, I'm not sure now though, I haven't heard the new one. I do like Cynic, even though the vocals can be a bit cheesy. I haven't heard Mastodon's new one yet either, I've heard good things though. Out of all the metal acts I probably like Meshuggah the most now. Also, the sideproject: Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects - Sol Niger Within is one my favourite albums of all time. |

I've seen Dillinger Escape Plan twice now. The first time (about a year ago) they were incredible and the whole floor just turned into a mass of movement when they played. The second time I saw them they weren't as good but during 43% Burnt the lead singer jumped into the crowd and landed on me with the mic in my face and his arm grabbing my hoodie. There are TONS of good metal/hardcore shows in FL, especially Daytona. And I also flew up and attended the Maryland Deathfest in May and saw some of the big names in gore/grind/death play for the first time in the US. |

"Intelligent and even blatantly melodic... riff-tastic all the way through!" 5K's (KLASSIK!) - KERRANG! MAGAZINE haha, as the sticker on my cd says, but yes, it's a BIG favorite too (next to Necroticism), the compositions are very polished... but you know, I miss the medical terms and it was real fun they got "serious" names to their solos like "solo: Morbid melody for the deceased with salt to taste" and "lead: Viscous residue snorting"... I guess I'm the kind of person who really digs that kind of humor don't forget also the with a sculpture by H.R. Giger, it was simple but a classy touch :) |

btw, some years ago I sent my details to Metal Maniacs and they posted them in their section of pen pals. It was nice to receive some lists of trading and some promos from distribuitors. |

Mastodon's new album is pretty great, although I haven't heard the old one. |
||||||||
|
|

i saw mastodon's sister band social infestation, they were good |
||||||||

god, bathtub shitter is awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

yes they are, i remember reading a review that said the vocals range from guttoral death to what a trasvestite would sound like if you lit her tits on fire. i think it's accurate |

I bought the Marilyn Manson best of..mainly for the DVD (best vids out this side of Cunningham) does that count And oh I bought the latest Ministry too...anyone call that metal is a dead man!!! |

I'm loving this Carcass album ( Heartwork). I bought two other death metal albums from 1993 last week and this is the only one that still sounds absolutely contemporary and fresh. Great album. I'm thinling about picking up Symphony of Sickness next - anyone heard it or like it? |
||||||||
|
|

I finally got a decent payibg job so I have some spare cash to drop on music. Being currently on a huge metal kick, I'm thinking about getting some new or old metal albums tomorrow. Thinking about: Slayer - Reign in Blood Messhuggah - Destroy, Erase, Improve Carcass - Symphony of Sickness Napalm Death - Fear, Emptiness, Despair Fear Factory - Soul of a New Machine Etc. Recommend me some metal. I'll fucking buy it and rock out. Swear. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
reign in blood is all you need. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

That's it? All 22 or whatever minutes of it? Ok. Sign me up. I already have the double live "Decade of Aggression" and "Seasons in the Abyss". Is it really that good? |
||||||||

i'm not a metal fan, but there are some great stuff in metal... i love Opeth (Blackwater Park is one of my favourite albums ever). i also heard 'Altered States Of America' by Agoraphobic Nosebleed: something like 20 minutes long, a 3"CD, for 100 tracks (99 tracks plus a "track 00" before track 01)! and it sounds good... very powerful stuff... i'm thinking of buying it, i only have it on mp3 (and mp3 hurts for this album especially because of the very little gaps in-between the songs)... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Empiricus, I'd definitely recommend Meshuggah's Destroy, Erase, Improve. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why not all the newer albums too? |

I prefer Destroy Erase Improve, I like the drum work the most on it, the guitar solo's are great too. I didn't enjoy Chaosphere as much, Nothing was pretty good though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, that's the one I've heard recomended the most often. I've listened to part of it at my local music store and really liked it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Opeth huh? Must be more contemporary than the old shit I'm familiar with. I'm going to check it out now. Thanks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the last ones are more special imo. sounds like more of the same but it's way more groundbreaking. anyhoo, if you like that, you should try frederik thornendahl's special defects, sol niger within. it's death metal jazz |

Goddamnit, I quit xlt for a little while and then a huge metal thread pops up. I love metal. new Mastodon - they're one of my favorite bands and this is definitely a departure from "Remission" but I dig it nonetheless. I'm not sure if I like it quite as much, but it's still very powerful and one of my top releases of the year so far Carcass - I dig 'em but I have to be in a certain mindset to listen to their earlier stuff. Repulsion's better than their first two albums anyway, and Carcass said they were basically ripping off REpulsion Dillinger - new album sucks compared to Calculating Infinity. It has all these Faith No More ripoff songs (Setting fire...) and just bland DEP riffs that would've sounded awesome on C.I. but now just sound tired Death "Invididual Thought Patterns" - yes. yes yes yes. Anyone know this band Crowpath? I've heard good things about them but only heard a couple of songs. They just put an album out on Willowtip last summer I think... |

hello, metal thread. i thoroughly enjoy and recommend: 324 Brutal Truth Buzzov-En converge (old) DEP Eyehategod Fantomas Force Hellchild Melvins Multiplex Neurosis Soilent Green Swarrrm |
||||||||

lightning bolt is way overrated..and not metal of course i like metal/grind/blah... grew up the stuff, and still listen to it. although i'd prefer some intelligent hardcore over dumb chugga chugga metal. nasum is playing belgium soon together with deicide, i'm gonna go see them for sure. last time they played with napalm death..so much fun. "Scuuuuuuumm" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can anyone recommend me some grindcore? (but without homophobia, misogyny, antisemitism etc. in the lyrics please... lyrics are pretty "edgy" in Agoraphobic Nosebleed, even if i like the music a lot...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
check out my list. especially brutal truth, the ultimate grindcore band. |
||||||||
|
|

agathocles discordance axis pig destroyer entrails massacre rotten sound ..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get Carcass's Heartwork. as Empiricus said, "these guys are one of the best metal bands of all time, regardless of sub-genre". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Everybody who mentioned opeth in this thread gets a big metal hug and a free beer from me. True story. |
||||||||
|

i saw converge 2 weeks ago yay |
||||||||
|
|

I bought Shadows Fall "The War Within" today for $8 today. Sounds kind of like a heavy AFI at times. The drummer is pretty good. |
