While I'd have preferred to have the Primordial submission greenlit this song wasn't bad. Not good enough to make me run out and get the album but if someone wants to recommend some other songs by them I'll check them out.

this isn't Brett Favre.

Does anyone here listen to KEXP? They aired a new metal show at midnight last night... I'm still kind of a metal noob but I enjoyed it. Playlist here, you can stream it on the website also. The show will air Saturdays midnight to 2am.

Can't say I care for that playlist much at all to be honest.

About time. This is the first time that the link has been something I haven't heard before. Decent, but like Kliffoth said, not enough to make me want to check them out further. I'm looking forward to another copy/paste thread of retards complaining about "cookie monster" vocals. I suggest ignoring them, or telling them we've been through this before.

Anyways, Bornholm released their new album, March for Glory and Revenge, this week, and it is utterly fantastic. For those who don't know, Bornholm is a Hungarian black metal band that sounds similar to Sear Bliss. They've got solos, clean backing vocals, and epic atmosphere.

TOO MANY GOOD ALBUMS THIS YEAR!

I say that playlist is farking perfect, wow. thanks for the heads up, am definitely doing to have to give this a listen and make some requests.

also, this (new window) is a great song

I am also kind of appalled that this week wasn't Helloween.

/Halloween Metal

Fark yeah, Subby. Have had this album in heavy rotation lately. Need to pick up their earlier stuff.

New Between the Buried and Me is out:
Between the Buried and Me - Obfuscation (new window)

New Red Chord is out:
The Red Chord - Mouthful of Precious Stones (new window)

Saw Dethklok/Mastodon last night. Hell of a show. Best song off the new album:
Dethklok - The Gears (new window)

This is the first time i have to say, holy wow. Nice epic guitar passages, techy rhythm section, tasty. I've heard the name, but I've never checked these guys out. Kinda reminds me of Dissection with the Seance dude on vocals, well before Dissection got all ghey.


/ed so much Dissection that it almost sounds like Quo Vadis channeling the Somberlain here. (new window)

The Slush: The Red Chord - Mouthful of Precious Stones


This song title reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut's book 'Bluebeard'.

Its got At The Gates and Iron Maiden, so that makes it better than anything I can pull in over the air here.


The new Arkona album was leaked last week and its great, will definitely be picking it up when it comes out Tuesday.

Arkona - Nevidal (The Wonder)

Arkona - Pamiat (The Memory)

Excellent find, subs. I haven't listened to them in a while.

Haven't listened to Quo Vadis much... I know I downloaded their album, but I don't remember much about it. I don't think I deleted it, so it must have been decent.

The Slush: New Between the Buried and Me is out:

And it's awesome.

penguin121: The new Arkona album was leaked last week and its great, will definitely be picking it up when it comes out Tuesday.

Really? I'll have to check this out. I liked Hilal, so I'll definitely be looking into this.

My recommendations for the week:

Priestess - Prior To The Fire: If you like uptempo stoner rock, then you'll love these guys. The new album is great, and might make my top ten list for the year.

ArmCannon - Return Of The Attack Of The Legend Of Pizzor: Stupid album title, great album. These guys aren't quite as good as Powerglove, when it comes to video game metal, but they are still really damn good. They definitely experiment more, deviating from straight up metal.

The Devin Townsend Project - Addicted: Very different from the first DTP album, but quite awesome. Definitely heavier, although it's more along the lines of his solo stuff than SYL.

Katatonia - Night Is The New Day: I'm relatively new to listening to Katatonia, but I'm liking them. The new album is quite good, although I've only listened to it once so far.

The Slush:

New Between the Buried and Me is out:

Fark. Yes.

This submission embodies everything I hate about cookie monster vocals (and the Red Hot Chilli's for that matter).

That band is talented. Tight....melodic...as good as anything I ever heard. That 'vocalist' is a goddamned hack who should count himself lucky to have a farking job.

There is no way in hell you can say that that farking lack of talent could do a better job than Dickenson signing along with the same farking music

You keep wallowing in De'nile

Madbassist1: There is no way in hell you can say that that farking lack of talent could do a better job than Dickenson signing along with the same farking music

If Dickinson toned down the operatics a bit, otherwise it would feel overdone.

Im saying the band was awesome and could have used a singer...I do not think the guy they have helped them...at all.

It's melodic, but still death metal, so a singer with a rougher voice than Dickinson would probably work better... I'm thinking someone like Tom Angelripper from Sodom.

What's up for next week?

This week I submitted Voivod - The Gathering:

Voivod - The Gathering (new window)

Mathrock is farking boring ... Seriously. It's awesome that there are such technical dudes out there but this is just NOT art at all.

chemical_angel: Mathrock is farking boring .

Are you in the wrong thread?

I thought it was pretty good. I'm disappointed that my Primordial submission didn't get accepted but I'll wait a few weeks/months and give them a shot.


This week I've been listening to the new Alice in Chains album, Black Gives Way to Blue and it is f*cking amazing. I got it when it came out but never actually sat down to listen to it. Wow. It's great. I know a lot of people out there think that they are just a simple Grunge but this band can be as heavy as they come. It's a very doomy album that will slow you down and pull you in. Even if you are not a fan of Alice in Chains you need to give the album a chance. I'll just link to the first song and let the music do the work from there:

It takes a bit of vocal discipline to maintain that vocal style for any period of time. Just because you don't like the vocals doesn't mean he's a hack though.

I can't stand Dickenson or Halford's vocals for extended periods of time though they are amazing singers (certainly more talented that the QV guy).

That being said the QV singer seems to be no more than your typical Death Metal singer. He's no Mikael Akerfeldt, Mikael Stanne, or Johan Hegg that's for sure. Akerfeldt and Stanne are excellent clean vocalists as well.

Funny how you hate the Red Hot Chili Pepper singer but apparently like RHCP's music. The reason why I think it's funny is because I 100% agree with you on that one.

Subby here. There's actually songs by Quo Vadis that I like better than the green, but I've yet to see a greenlight SHMHC without a video.

On the Shores of Ithaka - Probably my absolute favorite song by them

Mute Requiem

Dead Man's Diary - Really great bass in this song.

Hunter-Killer - Not the best quality sound.

Many more great songs by them, but youtube doesn't do these guys justice.

I'm a huge AiC fan, but that new album did absolutely nothing for me. It had one good song, a couple decent songs, then a bunch of stuff that is completely forgettable. It was a good effort with amazing production, but seemed to be lacking whatever "it" was that made AiC so damn good to begin with.

I picked up Finntroll's latest tonight. These guys are goofy as hell, but I completely dig their sound.

That's too bad that it didn't click for you. To me it feels like their heaviest album yet, and I really like DuVall's vocals. To me it feels different from AiC but still sounds like AiC. I think it's a great album.

And as far as Finntroll goes, hell yes they are great. The big bonus for me is that Henri Sorvali (the keyboardist) is a member of Moonsorrow as well. And I f*cking love Moonsorrow.

the same parade of old dogs and idiots... god bless shmhc.
so yeah, there's cannabis corpse, and luddite clone (available at the sketchy link here, i would download it on mediafire to check it out (as long as you buy the album, you bastards.)
aside from that, i've been listening to terror and INDK and NASUM.
/listen to grindcore.
//things have changed since 1993. stop whining about the vocals or get off metal's dick.

satanicsantoku: listen to grindcore.

I like it. Looks like their older (good) album covers.

/For your consideration Mad, Instrumental Melodic Death Metal: Amogh Symphony.

Abolishing the obsolete system (the album) starts out awesome (not counting the useless intro), but it goes all downhill from there. The soli are just to bloody cheesy, not to mention the electro/ambient parts get anoying after the 2nd run. It's about even hit and miss.
They are from India as far as i know.

Covered alot of bases from the accessible to the more extreme. I say that's a pretty good playlist.

I'm not sure where you are getting math rock from as thats more melodic death metal. But there are some actual math rock out that that is excellent. See: Botch

I got it! Sakis Tolis of Rotting Christ. Greatest harsh vocalist ever.

I'll be damned. I liked that. The vocals were harsh, but I understood the guy, the voice had depth, and the music was ass-kicking.


/you farkers are getting to me.

I have to say Insect Warfare is definitely not my thing, thanks for the rec though.

Though I didn't like that vocalist overmuch I'm glad you found something new to enjoy. This is like what? Two weeks in a row now?

After weeks of reading about how awesome Rotting Christ was, I finally checked it out.

Excellent...GD effing excellent music!
