Metal 2013

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... comes out next week.

 

[Krow]

Gorgeous artwork. Probably going to be damn good, but I'm not sure I'll buy it.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Why not? I'll end up picking it up when it hits the -$10 range.

Yea, the artwork is pretty fucking sweet ... it's kind of reminding me of another album cover, but i just cant put my finger on it.

Mind that a number of other genres of music do turn the mic toward the crowd, not just metalcore and hardcore. Funk, Soul, Pop, Reggae, Ska and Country all come to mind.

I'm not saying lyrics are not important in metal, they're just not prominent. They're de-emphasized.

It depends. When I saw Morbid Angel, everyone knew the lyrics to Chapel of Ghouls, Immortal Rites, and Lord of All Fevers & Plague like they were hit pop songs. It was a fuckin sing along, but it was awesome. The energy was crazy.

I think metal might be dead.

 

[Krow]

I think you just don't like to metal but do like to bitch.

I need to relisten to the new elite again, pertaining to Master. Maybe I will pick the new one up, as long as its under $13. I've been mostly listening to brutal death and death grind lately though.

I actually think metal was awesome through 2009.

Looks just like this beast.

New Dream Theater song is actually pretty good. Maybe just my opinion.

Nothing from 2010 to present caught your interest? There were so many good albums. I think we're seeing a revival honestly. Metal will never die.

 

[Lateralus14]

There's been good stuff....but I don't know if there's been a single metal album since 2009 that will really stand the test of time.

What genre of metal are you talking about because there have been several for me.

 

[Lateralus14]

Mostly black and death I guess.

 

[Baroque]

New Metal Church today

 

[Master_Yoda77]

That album artwork...

 

[Avigrus]

^ Pretty spectacular artwork.

 

[Baroque]

New Motorhead

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Cover art aside, that Metal Church song sounds surprisingly strong. Munroe somehow sounds a lot closer to Wayne and there's a lot of aggression there vs the kind of light trad of the last couple albums, and the faster/heavier songs have been their weaker point since the early 90's. Looking forward to this now.

 

[Eligos]

No.
