Metal 2016

[EspaDa]

Their last album was shit. The Mantle was pretty good tho. They were on my list to see live.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yeah, I'm a little upset as I thought they were one of the few bands that can do that kind of black/folk/whatever and pull it off well. Ashes Against the Grain will always have a close place to my heart.

 

[Yerfdaug]

They sucked after Ashes... anyhow. Pale Folklore still rocks enough though.
new Inquisition on August 26th.

 

[AllShallFall]

New Destruction album came out today. Pretty good stuff

 

[EspaDa]

But can it top The Least Successful Human Cannonball? I believe not.

 

[CiG]

Is this that Dawnbringer from Into the Lair of the Sun God?

Yeah, it's the same Dawnbringer.

 

[Caecius]

Is the new Gorguts EP worth a listen? Apparently it is one epic track and uploaded on YouTube.

EDIT: The new EP is a solid release -- much better than last full-length.

 

[Luoto]

 

[EspaDa]

Yeah, it's the same Dawnbringer.

I can see they're getting softer and softer with each release. I'm talking about Dawnbringer.

 

[SweptbackFlame]

Came Across this band from France, not sure if they are new, but They are releasing a new album/ or debut this year

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

enjoying this

 

[CiG]

I can see they're getting softer and softer with each release. I'm talking about Dawnbringer.

Well, it is an EP. Maybe they're just experimenting on a less important release.

 

[Baroque]

Dawnbringer are very concept focused. As much as I'd like to hear more Sun God, I respect their willingness to experiment

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Anyone have any thoughts to proffer on the new Grand Magus?

 

[CiG]

It was pretty good, it felt short for some reason, but I think Triumph And Power is better at the moment. That might change.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Agreed. The new Destruction was satisfactory for me by the way. Good ole Teutonic thrash done right.

 

[CiG]

That's not something I'm personally interested in.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

What's turning you off about it?

 

[CiG]

Everything. Not many old thrash metal bands that are still going do anything for me. I heard the two singles off the album and they were generic, tired and overproduced.
"Second To None" was also pretty fucking wimpy.

Definitely not enough of a die-hard Destruction fan.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Fair enough. The singles were anemic, I'll give you that, but there were occasional moments I enjoyed a lot. Like I said, it was only satisfactory for me. Nothing insane or mindblowing.
