Loving the production on Dear HITLER. Especially that drum sound.

At least it's not the overly simplified bland and boring ass minimal design for telephones that websites seem to be moving to.

I joined this year without knowing how old this forum is

It sucks hearing that from someone so brilliant.

I agree that there is a creativity and liveliness about Holocaust's post-NWOBHM works. Also that "Sittandes i sjön med vatten över huvudet" album...I'm just starting track 3 and it's fucking excellent.

If you ever feel like you're gonna do some dumb shit like this, just jack off immediately before you're about to hit send on the money. Post-orgasm clarity is a lifesaver.

I dunno man. I'm often skeptical of trial by social media personally, especially when you have teenagers gaining an online spotlight for "cultural appropriation" or drawing fanart of a character with too light a skintone or making a dumb edgy joke whatever meaningless fucking bullshit. And I...

This news is a few days old but this is the only metal forum I use, so I might as well make a thread on it. If there's already another thread on another subforum, apologies. Vektor are my favorite "new" metal band, so to speak, so I was disappointed when--after what I think is the best album of...

Finally checking out Iron Maiden for real. You know what? Somewhere In Time is the shit.

Thanks for all those recs, haven't checked them all yet though. Kayo Dot is some of the same people from Maudlin of the Well right? They rock, they're like a crossover between progressive metal and mellower alt rock. Something about them makes me think they're Canadian even though they're...

Good ol Extravasation! Though I don't like the remastered version, it's sped up and the guitars and vocals being higher pitched takes away some of the aggression for me. Recently there was a re-remaster that restores it back to the original speed.

I sense some Voivod influence in that Obsolete two-fer, to the point that their logo reminds me of Voivod's 90s-00s era logos. The vocals are like the dude from Obliveon, or maybe David DiSanto of Vektor if he were lower register. Cool shit, they riff it out and it's intense. I think it's my...
