Metal 2016

[The Ozzman]

Holy shit I don't know if you guys listen to ADX but their new album Non Serviam is fucking amazing.

The French speed metal band?

Warfather - The Grey Eminence (September 16, Greyhaze Records)

I read that they wanted to change their sound because death metal was seen as being very trendy, but not necessarily because they thought they would sound the same as many other death metal bands.
I think it's evident that they actually had quite a unique sound within the death metal realm and that was further demonstrated if you listen to the Goatlord recordings.

Soulside Journey is one of the best death metal records ever created in my opinion, you can hear a lot of Autopsy in it.

One of the reasons why Darkthrone stopped playing Death Metal is because the Florida bands wore shorts.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Recent acquisitions that sound fantastic:

Deisidaemonia - Khthonian Hyms
Caecus - The Funeral Garden
Firtan - Innenwelt
Sojourner - Empires of Ash

As good a reason as any.

 

[The Ozzman]

Except Floridian death metal is some of the best to ever exist (arguably the best 'sect')

Anyway, Opeth signed to Nuclear Blast and is releasing an album later this year

Since Chuj seems temporarily MIA:

[EspaDa]

Maybe Nuclear Blast will be better for them.

Not that I agree, but I didn't say it was bad. I was being sarcastic, because shorts are a dumb reason to dislike something.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Shorts are for poseurs. Just wear boxers.

Is the new Death Angel good?

As a Death Angel fan, I'm underwhelmed by the tracks that have been released to youtube. It's currently low on my priority list. I actually bought the Art of Dying instead with birthday money(2 disc digipak on Amazon. Includes Killing Season which I already had, but TAoD was more expensive as a standalone disc). I don't know if I would say that TAoD is better or worse than TEW, but the nostalgia and the catchiness of certain songs on TAoD for me easily beat out what has been sampled from TEW. Especially considering my expectations coming off the last album.

Separately: The Winged Waltz has not disappointed like the new Katatonia did imo. It's no "A Thin Shell", but it's solid. Very happy with the purchase.

Hawaiian shorts rule, faggot.

 

[CiG]

Just ordered this, pretty cool Aussie metal.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

New Vex is sounding awesome.

 

[Krow]

This Halloween, new Acid Witch full length.

If I read it correctly, no, this isn't the album art.

 

[CiG]

Need this. It's out now.

 

[no country for old wainds]

that guy from sauron has been pestering me to listen to that for a while, i guess now's the time.

yeahhhh it's pretty fucking wild.

 

[CF87]

Maybe Nuclear Blast will be better for them.

I thought Opeth moved on from metal music, now they're signed to Nuclear Blast, what sense does that make ?.
