Metal 2016

I think we can just dismiss Opeth.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

This is your contribution to this board any more.

You fucking suck.

Shut the FUCK up Krow.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Well that track doesnt suck completely, Its just boring and I dont know why and... weird, weird forced melodies and vocallines. there is nothing on the album that made me go WOAH AWESOME like every Opeth album up until Heritage used to even on first spins.

I fell asleep.

My thoughts exactly. Very forced and unnatural, not in a wacky avant garde way either. Which could have been what they're going for but sorry Opeth can't do avant garde.

 

[nizzon]

Wow, shocking. The new Opeth album sucks? Who would have thunk it?

Well.. The first track they released, Sorceress, is pretty damn good, and the reviews hinted at return to old style, it gave me hope. I guess gullible I am, Master Yoda.

Insomnium - Winters Gate was released today.

"This is a concept album based on the short story "Winter's Gate", written by Niilo Sevänen.
The album is one song divided in 7 parts."

Mixed by Dan Swanö.



Two eh.. parts in, I like it.

 

[nizzon]

Also released today.
I never heard this band before, this kicks ass.

I'm not sure I'm gonna like it. I'm not a fan of one song albums. Minus Dopesmoker.

 

[nizzon]

I only listened to it once yet but it didnt feel like one song.

 

[EchoForever]

it doesnt feel like one song, but the tracks transition into each other seamlessly

 

[Krow]

I've always found Insomnium pretty boring but ive been trying to open up to different stuff lately. Any chance that'll change it?

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

The new Beithioch will surely be something special. Keep an eye out for it.

If you don't like their old material there's no reason why you'll enjoy this.

The new Dark Tranquility single surprised the shit out of me. Great song.

I agree that the new Opeth sounds quite shitty.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

New Mithras is bad fucking ass, too. So good.

At first I was put off by the length - the record basically ended before it started - but now I like it. Especially in light of the recent 70+ minute blast of sound by Allegaeon..

 

[EchoForever]

i honestly didnt notice the length on first listen

 

[CiG]

I'm excited for this.

 

[nizzon]

The new Dark Tranquility single surprised the shit out of me. Great song.

Very standard DT in my opinion, but its good. One of the albums Im looking forward to the most this year.

You, the prog rock fan?

You, the prog rock fan?

I like progressive rock, yes.
