Red farking Fang.

Made me want to hear more from these guys... also made me want to go listen to some Kyuss.

awesome!

Meh. Not bad but sounded too much like The Offspring.

My conclusion: Not metal.

Not a hater, just my opinion man.

You can't kill the metal. The metal will live on.

No one can destroy the metal. The metal will strike you down with a vicious blow.

more metal

Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult and Purgatory cover each other and others on this split MLP

Demoncy - Opening the Lunar Bloodgate (black)

The Lamp of Thoth - Skull Fuel (doom; shares members with Arkham Witch)

Abysme - Beyond the Seventh Door (death)

Old Pagan - Dawn of the Black Hords (black)

Womit Angel - Unholy and Horny (black/thrash/punk)

Vomitchapel - Rites of Inversion (not safe for work/lunch picture)

Insane Vesper - The Black Radiance (black)

Serpentine Path - Bats amongst Heathens (death/doom)

Behexen - Wrathful Dragon Hau Hra (black)

Valborg - Sakrale Vernichtung (progressive death/doom - oddly interesting/interestingly odd)

The Dead Goats - Path of the Goat (full album; death/crust)


Also, listen to Goat Vengeance - The Goat Shout Triumphs Forever. I can't find this online for easy listening (my prior link to them was farked up), but the CD kicks ass. Find it, buy it. It is raw, ugly black metal that sounds like it was recorded in a sewer - the way black metal should be.

/I'm ok with Red Fang
//and thank you to Winterlight for the totalfark!

aww....with that build-up I thought it was going to be something by Metal Church (link was evidently filmed on a potato).

Even more metal:

Borknagar
Burzum
Darkthrone
Dissection
Dodheimsgard
Eternal Tears of Sorrow
Isenngard
Keep of Kalessin
Morbid Angel

That video is good, but I still think that 'Wires' is their best video.

Link

And, yes, they look like a lot of fun.

Saw these guys with Earthride at a block party thrown by the metal as fark Kuma's Corner in Chicago. Badass. CSB

Red Fang is boring stoner rock. Not metal.

Saturnus released their first album in six years last week. Best doom album of the year, and current frontrunner for my album of the year, if that means anything.

Other 2012 releases I've been listening to this week:

Aluk Todolo - Occult Rock
Desolate Shrine - The Sanctum of Human Darkness [Finndess]
Svartidauði - Flesh Cathedral
Necrovation - S/T [Swedess]
Frostseele - PRÆKOSMIUM

Red Fang is the Louis C.K. of Heavy Metal 

Psycoholic_Slag: My conclusion: Not metal.

It's metal. It's just not blacker than the blackest black ( times infinity )

/ I liked it

Enjoyable.

Not sure if I've listed this one before, but:

Vaura

Forbidden Doughnut: Psycoholic_Slag: My conclusion: Not metal.

It's metal. It's just not blacker than the blackest black ( times infinity )

/ I liked it

Agreed. It doesn't have to be "rape your mother and eat her entrails" music to be metal.

/liked that a lot
//currently digging "The Sword"

when did it become acceptable for guys in bands not to be cool. These are hipsters in disguise as a punk/metal band.

the song is somewhat ok but pretty crappy by historical Relapse Records standards. the dudes are basically just like my friends and i, which is cool.

the video is pretty awesome. the narrative depicts the soul battle of the Hessian who attempts and fails to exorcise his own inner LARPer demons, thus ending him in a chaos of death aesthetics. in this context, we see how the nihilism inherent in heavy metal arises and can begin to explicate and understand it's relationship to the broader cultural milieu.

Psycoholic_Slag: Even more metal:


Burzum


Good, yes -- but I always feel guilty listening to him.

I enjoyed the guitars and the humor but wouldn't really listen to it over and over. It's more like heavy garage rock

Rambino: Psycoholic_Slag: Even more metal:


Burzum


Good, yes -- but I always feel guilty listening to him.

I like Varg's music, particularly his post-prison albums. i think Burzum has enough depth to resonate outside of sketchy politics and philosophy, and without having to feel guilty.

Biker bar music. Meh.

I love Red Fang. One of the few bands I go out of my way to buy albums the day they come out. Give Reverse Thunder a try.

Not metal.

That beardo stoner groove rock stuff is all over the place here in the PNW. I'm glad that it rocks, but metal it aint.

Currently Possessed by Beer. thnksz to winthrlight for the totlfrak.

you know your metal band has made it when everyone decries you're no longer metal.

It sort of reminded me of Clutch. Not spot on but I see a similarity. I liked it a lot. Great video too.

I'm sure someone in some prior thread mentioned Turisas before but I'm a big fan of theirs.

Also Korpiklaani, Fintroll and Ensiferum.

Psycoholic_Slag: Meh. Not bad but sounded too much like The Offspring.

My conclusion: Not metal.

Not a hater, just my opinion man.

You might be right - I'm pretty sure I saw a Telecaster in the mix there - are you allowed to play metal on a Telecaster?

/Could be worse
//Could be playing metal on a Danelectro

7th Son of a 7th Son: I'll admit when I first saw Metal God I thought of Rob Halford.

Wait, with your screen name it wasn't Bruce?? :)

Been a long time since I liked a SHMHC submission.

This ... this I liked. Vocals were indeed a little too offspring, but good riffs, good fun, good hooks, good energy. I can dig it.

Man On A Mission: Something tells me these guys have a LOT of fun doing shows.

I saw them play with Black Tusk. Black Tusk has A LOT more fun than Red Fang.

Does every band on Relapse Records have to sound like Neurosis now?

Beards are for fat middle aged people trying to hide the fact they are fat slobs.

TommyDeuce: Psycoholic_Slag: Meh. Not bad but sounded too much like The Offspring.

Not a hater, just my opinion man.

I think the Tele was retrofitted with humbuckers so it was sort of met-al.

Madbassist1: SPna15: Red Fang is boring stoner rock. Not metal.

That's the joke, dude. Congrats, they're making fun of YOU.

The joke is that they suck? They're pretty good at it.


/listen to Satan's Satyrs.

That was really good, thanks Subby.

......that being said, I am afraid their albums might veer into the stoner-rock wank like the middle of the otherwise brilliant Them Crooked Vultures album. Please say it ain't so.

Psycoholic_Slag: Meh. Not bad but sounded too much like The Offspring.

My conclusion: Not metal.

Not a hater, just my opinion man.

Sounded more like Queens of the Stoneage to me. I dug it.

I hear a big Black Sabbath influence in there... so if they sound like the inventors of metal... they prolly are metal. And thank the stygian gods, a band that realizes that clearing your throat for 4 minutes doesn't sound badass, it sounds farking stupid. These guys are way better than most so called current metal.

The band that I've discovered most recently that I am in love with is Gojira.That and Baroness. Yeah I'm always a bit behind...
