Metal 2017

[The Batlord]

It'll probably sound like the last however many albums anyway. No thanks. Burnt Offerings will always be the best thing that band did.

I'm never sure what their best album is. They've never had an outright classic. Night of the Stormrider has kinda lame vocals, Burnt Offerings has an amazing first half but a bit too much filler, The Dark Saga has some hella fun songs but is too dumbed down, and Something Wicked this Way Comes is probably their most consistent but is too bright and shiny and business-as-usual. I guess I could go with Burnt Offerings as it has the best version of their sound.

They've never really released anything that has impressed me, mostly for the reasons @The Batlord alluded to. They seem like they can never get a whole album right, there's always some glaring, unavoidable problem.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Night of the Stormrider is a fuckin' solid piece of metal.

 

[EspaDa]

Have you seen this already, motherfuckers? Not metal but still. Nergal's the man.

 

[nizzon]

Wow, boring as fuck, and not because its not metal.

 

[CiG]

They just teaser'd this on their Facebook page:

[Krow]

Says they're looking for a label to release it, they need to get on that shit.

 

[CiG]

So many labels would release it in an instant, what the fuck.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Yea that is pretty fuckin' solid death metal for sure.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Speaking of death metal, I highly recommend the new album by The Ominous Circle. Depressing, morbid, suffocating death metal awesomeness.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Ok, that Nergal dark folk rock song kinda sucked. Now, this Lords of Triumph shit is pretty cash.

 

[Evil Dead]

They've never really released anything that has impressed me, mostly for the reasons @The Batlord alluded to. They seem like they can never get a whole album right, there's always some glaring, unavoidable problem.

Their Highwayman cover is tits..but thats where I draw the line.

Soen - Lykaia was released today.
Quite Opeth-like in the riffs here and there.

 

[nizzon]

New Mastodon track:

I like this.
I never got the Mastodon-hype, I have tried them a few times but they never click.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Same here. Same w/ Gojira, too.

 

[nizzon]

Same here. Same w/ Gojira, too.

Exactly. A few good songs but nothing really special. Om trying to get into them because I'm joining my friend to go see them.

 

[The Ozzman]

I'm joining my friend to go see them.

Yeah I'm seeing them with a buddy too.

 

[EspaDa]

Gojira is one of the best live acts, just saying. Your perception of them will change forever after experiencing them live.
