If I was a metal radio dj, this would be played every hour on the hour

[Papa Josh]

Mercenary - 11 Dreams

This is a new release from Century Media. Man, that chorus is fucking awesome!!!



Whoever wrote the band's sound description deserves a raise. Soilwork Natural Born Chaos meets Devin Townsend's Ocean Machine. :Spin:

 

[NAD]

Slayer - Dead Skin Mask

Every hour, on the hour.

 

[Papa Josh]

Damn, you don't like Soilwork or Nevermore do you?

 

[NAD]

Not really. Although I haven't heard much Nevermore, what I did hear was either meh or okay. Soilwork though, gah. PASS.

 

[Papa Josh]

Well, fuck, those that do enjoy above mentioned bands and albums, check this song out.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Dead Skin Mask is such an overrated song. That intro riff is so fucking ominous and evil and awesome, and then it just dies a horrible death by mediocrity. A good solid mid-paced chug instead of that dull "dundundun-duuuuuuuuuh," and also less repetition of the intro riff, would make it a great song.

Soilwork = URGH.

I only have one hour a week, so I can't repeat myself that much. But if I had a 24-hour stream, I'd probably play Virgin Steele's "The Burning of Rome" and Deströyer 666's "I Am the Wargod" daily.

 

[KILL TULLY]

Blind Guardian - "Bards Song - In the Forest"

Bathory - "Man of Iron"

Would be the Intro and Outro of my show daily...if i had one

Mercenary's Everblack >>>> 11 Dreams

Read my review for further evidence. :Smug:

I did not realize they had more albums. So, have you heard all of 11 Dreams? What is the difference between the two?

It was the first Slayer song I ever heard, but honestly there are about 30 other Slayer songs that would work just as good on a metal show. Hmm. Yeah, it's gonna have to be Slayer. No other group is just that Metal As Fuck across the ages to me.

PS: Dead Skin Mask, just like the rest of Seasons, is / 10.

Oh man, the choruses on Everblack just fucking soar! In fact, 11 Dreams sounds like Everblack leftovers. Good ideas but not as consistent...

 

[Demonspell]

I personally think the albums are of equal quality, but if you were that impressed by the title track you'll die satisfied upon hearing Screaming From The Heavens. In other words, get them both.

 

[d1c1ple]

Testament - Dog Faced Gods
Malevolent Creation - Eve Of the Apocolypse
Death - Together As One
Bolt Thrower - Cenotaph
Slayer - Mandatory Suicide

Any of these would be nice hourly chimes!

 

[NAD]

Slayer - Mandatory Suicide

Agreed. The live version on DOA especially!

 

[dill_the_devil]

Mastodon - March Of The Fire Ants
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Setting Fire To Sleeping Giants
All Shall Perish - For Far Too Long
The Haunted - All Against All

 

[Papa Josh]

Bitches! Quit trying to jack my thread!! This is about Mercenary! Sorry the title is misleading, but hey, I knew I'd get ya'll to look.:Smug:

 

[matt99_crew]

This album has gotten some attention at MetalReview. Not really my thing, but it got a good review and a lot of people seem to like it.

I just nabbed it at the End. Thank you.
