Oh there's no pretending here, mein freund

2 metal related news websites and a Google search earlier this morning yielded nothing. I had to hear about it from others on Facebook. Some legend I guess. At least when Vinnie Paul died it was all over the place but people here argue he isn't anywhere close to being a legend.

If Halford, Dickinson or any of the other big frontmen died, yes, a legend would be lost. It's arguable Mark Shelton did anything to influence metal as a whole.

It was considered significant enough that NPR covered it. I'm not sure what universe you live in if you couldn't find the articles on various metal sites about it either.

I think that Manilla Road's influence on metal is exaggerated by some fans but it obviously exists. Speaking of Pantera members, Phil Anselmo even said that The Deluge has been one of his biggest inspirations as a musician.

Just realized John Stewart died last month. Pretty depressing news after hearing about Mark Shelton's recent passing.

Rest in peace my king
Heroic were your deeds.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Resurrecting from my grave to post this album in memory of Don Millard.

RIP my blunt jungle friend.

P.S. Whats good my old UM community? Good to see some familiar names still rolling around these parts.

Their output recently had been their worst.

Hellwell made up for it to some degree.

Ah yet another lost soul has returned to the fold.



Welcome back man!

I'm very picky and won't listen to just anything. I've heard everything done out there and enough to know what my preferred taste in metal is. So the album that has kicked my ass in the recent year is Vuur - In this moment we are free -- Cities.

This album is not going to disappoint anyone who loves heavy, original progressive metal, with outstanding vocals. This album kicks some serious ass! Best I've heard in quite some time.

Sold this album a long time ago and then I started liking the Dukes stuff more so I bought it again. Forgot how crushing this album was.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Tristania. Quality gothic metal.

 

[The Ozzman]

1985 listening in full swing. Criminally underrated release and band.

Oh man, where have you been? You were one of my favourite interlocutors back in the day. Good to see you back.

Controversial opinion: Crystal Logic might be their best album, but the 00s was their best decade on the whole.

i do need to go back and revisit some of those 00's albums though.

 

[EspaDa]

Crystal Logic is definitely their most coherent work.

Wonderful new EP oozing of USPM-worship and epic feelz.
