As was mine. Destruction - Bestial Invasion.

Ok, this weeks recs.

Pagan Altar - One of the forgotten bands of the NWOBHM movement. They finally began releasing full-length albums in the late 90's. These guys play traditional doom, with kind of a more rockish sound, i guess. The only thing I don't like are the vocals, but the awesome music makes up for them.

Nachtreich - Instrumental black metal combined with classical music. There's really nothing else to say other than that it's beautiful music the all people should at least give a listen.

Warbringer - One of the best new thrash bands around. Their new album has a bit of a Kreator feel to it. Extremely solid and enjoyable to listen to.

Noise, and not in a good way.

It's strange enough that I actually kind of like it. This was my submission

The Sword

The vocals a HORRIBLE. That one guy looks like he's missing a LAN party.

I always love this one. Link (new window) I have to watch it at least once a week.

/Meshuggah

kinda reminds me of this

I can't stand 3 Inches of Blood.

I saw Gojira kick off their first US headlining tour on Friday. It was fantastic. Go see them live. Never been more pissed off waiting for a headliner though. Car Bomb and The Chariot are the two most obnoxious bands I have ever seen. I had seen The Chariot years ago, and thought Car Bomb had them topped, but The Chariot came out and reclaimed their most obnoxious title.

Gojira - From the Sky

Wow, someone else knows who Pagan Altar is! Black Mass would be my favorite song of theirs. Probably one of the evilest sounding Metal bands EVER.

I didn't hear any Death Metal in that song, just poor harsh vocals with some fast riffs.

This (new window) is Death Metal

I love Primordial. That song is awesome but probably not one that will convince other people of their greatness. I am so excited to see them next Friday!



I'll try and be back later with some recommendations. I don't understand what happened last week though. The queue was filled with great selections from all different genres.

I heard them for the first time about two weeks ago. It was like having pure, concentrated awesome injected straight into my ears.

OK...

3 Inches of Blood is a parody, "ironic" band trying to capitalize on the silliness that the Darkness started a few years ago. Isn't metal silly?
No, it isn't.

Between the Buried and Me are the biggest bunch of poseurs to infect the world of metal in a long time. Around here, we call shiat bands like them, "eyeliner rock". There's something with a band if Hot Topic is sponsoring their tour.

Gojira rocks .

That is all.

Yes it is. But that doesn't give you an excuse to make bad music, so I agree with you on 3IOB.

So a band that is all about music over image are posers? Your "eyeliner" statement would make more sense if they actually wore it

I want an explanation for last week, Thordamnit.

not a music video per se, but better than any i've seen recently

Technically proficient =/= Talent. Maybe its that I haven't caught the bug for this band, but at this point its not even worth trying. BTBAM is old news.

/The Faceless - Planetary Duality is much better.

So dressing normal makes them image obsessed? Should they wear makeup and chains and shoot fireballs out of their ass to prove they care about craft over style?

I don't really listen to black metal/european death type stuff, so i'm out of place on Fark metal i guess.

fair enough. people seem to either absolutely love them or loathe them. I like the Faceless as well

That was horrible on so many levels. I can't decide if I want to feel sorry for them or punch them in the face. Sort of like I feel about members of the Society for Creative Anachronism...

Slow this week. We need Kliffoth to get into an argument with someone.
Anyways, since I've got nothing to do today (even more so than other Sundays), I think I'll continue with recs. Let's see what sticks.

Argentum (new window) - This is what doom metal should be. Heavy and foreboding. At first listen, the bass seems to drown everything else out, but it eventually sinks in and creates a perfect atmosphere of DOOM. This band is what subwoofers were made for.

Artillery (new window) - Danish Thrash masters. Melodic, technical, and a singer who can actually sing. By Inheritance is probably one of the greatest thrash albums ever made. Blows pretty much every other thrash band out of the water.

Ulysses Siren (new window) - The best damn thrash band no ones heard of. They were around in the 80's, but got lost among the clutter of the Bay Area scene. In 2000/2002 (can't remember) they released a compilation of their demos, and titled it Above the Ashes.

Vreid (new window) - A band that rose out of the ashes of Windir after Valfar's death. Not as good as Windir, but if you like Windir, you should still check Vreid out.

As one guy suggested, maybe they burnt Rome because nero fiddled.

2) I like 3 inches of blood

3) at least we have a SHMHC this week!

Preferred Nomenclature: I'm going to a Gojira show BECAUSE of the chariot, lol.

I've never actually heard any studio recordings by the Chariot. I've heard them referred to as "technical" though, which I just don't get live. They seem to be more concerned with stage antics than actually playing. On Friday, the singer spent most of their first song screaming into a dead mic after he inadvertently cut it while climbing onto the PA system. The drummer is mediocre, and the bassist was more interested in slinging his bass behind his back every second than actually playing.

As far as BTBAM goes, I'm actually 50/50 on them. Love some of their stuff, can't stand some. They also refer to themselves way too much in their lyrics.

also, I should say, I only submitted this video because I thought it reminded me...marginally...of that Immortal video that was greenlit before we had a mino-drought of metal threads. I also knew that 3IOB has a love/hate relationship with metal fans.

...apparently that's strong greenlighting criteria.

CanadianCommie: also, I should say, I only submitted this video because I thought it reminded me...marginally...of that Immortal video

Well, Immortal has the benefit of awesome music. And that video's a classic.

For good reason too.

I love doomy, stonerish stuff like boris,electric wizard, sleep, etc. but every time I listen to The Sword, the sabbath worship is so overt that I always stop and go, "Wait a minute... why don't I just listen to Sabbath?" So I do.

So, being able to play extremely technical music flawlessly live makes them "poseurs"?

Perhaps I am mistaken, but isn't that the exact opposite of being a poser? If you think they suck, fine, but lets at least keep the disparaging somewhat truthful hmm?

You want eyeliner metal? I'll give you eyeliner metal.

Wow, that was pretty good. At least until the dude started singing. Still, I'll have to check out their album.

Okay, open question time: who is the best band never to release an album on a real label (i.e. demos/self-released stuff only)?

My votes:

Embrionic Death - released the groundbreaking 1993 demo "Stream of Solidarity..." -- similar to Gorguts' Obscura, but five years earlier -- then broke up. Supposedly back together again.

Spooge - released a couple of demos in the mid-90's. Described as "Watchtower meets Mr. Bungle with porno samples". Check out "RA 1995" (an ode to Ron Jeremy) from my link. The bassist ended up in Carbomb.


And a few honorable mentions:

Ghost Story - thrash from Atlanta. Released a couple good demos in the late 80's.

Crionic - tech/progressive thrash from the Czech Republic. Their 1993 self-released album Different is just that. I can't imagine how they didn't get signed.

Sindrome (US) - more progressive thrash, released two demos in 1987 and 1991. Held out for a major label, but a deal never came...

b-ham: RagingLeonard:

So full of THIS. You, sir

loser_death_spiral: Sindrome (US) - more progressive thrash, released two demos in 1987 and 1991. Held out for a major label, but a deal never came...

Another Sindrome fan! Vault of Inner Conscience has to be one of the most ambitious demos ever.

I also nominate Turulvér. Melodic Black Metal band that got frustrated with their label, so they released their stuff online.

Ceremonial Castings. They're on a label, but it's their own label, so would that count?

Fireaxe (don't feel like linking it). Ambitious one man band. Releases all his stuff on the public domain. The album Food For the Gods is a few minutes under 4 hours long, and it manages to be engrossing throughout.

SPna15:

Yeah, it wasn't a well-posed question on my part. I probably should've specified pre-2000 or something. It's getting increasingly common for good bands to release their own CD. But back in the 90's and before, it wasn't that way.

I just listen to both. I don't really overtly compare them to sabbath, but I do like that vibe, so it seems a natural albeit distant comparison.
