New records thread

[timmyc]

As there's been a few new releases come out lately that I've been listening to I thought I'd post a thread.

Mastodon - Once Around the Sun: Probably my fave record of 2014. Very accessible compared to say, Remission, but very awesome stuff. Well written, cool tunes.

Opeth: Pale Communion. On first listen it sounds like Heritage part 2. Very 'proggy', no death growls from yesteryear still. Online opinion suggests its much better though. I've only listened to it once so far and it sounds great. One that will get a lot of my listening in weeks to come.

Also listened to Overkill's White Devil Armory yesterday. Sounds ok, but I've never really gotten into these guys. Will give it some spins though.

My other fave record of recent times is Arch Enemy's new one War Eternal. I'm amazed at this record, after a few pretty average efforts from them. Michael Amott's song writing on this is inspired, and new vocalist Alissa White-Gluz is great.

Looking forward to a new release from Machine Head sometime soon too.

The early announcements are usually quite accurate so hopefully it's true,the festival goes over 2 days with bands doing longer sets,slip knot and fnm are the big draw card

If anyone is interested in what I had to say about the new Overkill CD, you can check out my KNAC.com review link.

The one and only listen I've had of White Devil Armory left me unimpressed. Definitely didn't grab me the same way the last few records have. I'll give it a few more spins before forming a solid opinion.

From albums from 2014 that i have enjoyed - Hellyeah - Blood For Blood is pretty awesome. Also Fozzy - Do You Wanna Start a War is good. I also thought the new Overkill album White Devil Armory is a good solid album! Don't understand why some people didn't like it all too much!

Strangely enough I've never listened to an Overkill record ever, I guess I wasn't a fan of the vocals when I heard them as a kid and so never listened to them. I definitely am going to give an album a listen soon though. They do have the coolest album covers

If your going to listen to an Overkill album - i would recommend the album "Ironbound" it is a really good album with balls out thrash and awesome solo's!! I know what you mean about the Vocals, when i was younger it was one of the reasons i didnt like them, but as i have got a little older and can appreciate the music a little more i have grown to really love the band!

Taking Over is also a great record all the way through.

Be interesting to see what slipknot come up With on the new album,I think it will kick some ass,metal needs a good kicking and they are just the band to do it

The new Mastodon record is fucking amazing. Still no 1 on my rotations.
