The best thing in metal right now....

[ohiogrinder]

Neurosis would have trouble being better than anything in this thread, let alone being better than everything

oh no you didnt!

 

[ohiogrinder]

Excellent choice!!!

Suffocation and Immolation are by far much weaker than Neurosis, Neurosis shoundn't even be compared to those two cause those two bands are far much weaker than Neurosis.

you really are on my last nerve.

best current doom band: Evoken

I agree. The only thing I think takes away from them now is not having dario derna on keyboards. His piano parts on embrace the emptiness are excellent especially on lost kingdom of darkness.

Sludge rules man, especially the post-rock/sludge fusion that is growing so swiftly nowadays.

most current thrash is crossover stuff. straight thrash, to me at least, is dead.

He is right though.

 

[skeptik]

Not really no.

Municple Waste perhaps I guess then, Gama Bomb is good too - Flesh Made Sin also as well, but I don't know if I'd go saying they're the best of modern thrash though.

Oh you know!

[ohiogrinder]

Not really no.

how do you figure?

 

[ohiogrinder]

He is right though.

Immolation being weaker sounding then Neurosis?

thats horseshit and you know it!

 

[skeptik]

how do you figure?

How many crossover bands are there these days? Municipal Waste? There are legions of straight Thrash bands.

Weaker sounding? Immolation are more "brutal" than Neurosis, but quality wise Immolation have nothing on Neurosis.

 

[skeptik]

Too bad Neurosis doesn't play Metal thoigh.

 

[Mort Divine]

What? Uh - yes they do.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

immolation = some of the heaviest and best old school DM ever

Sludge rules man, especially the post-rock/sludge fusion that is growing so swiftly nowadays.

I dunno. I can't stand stuff like Isis and the like. I'd rather even listen to Mortician.

 

[Mort Divine]

Haha, have you ever listened to any traditional sludge - like Iron Monkey and Crowbar? I don't like it as much as the post-rock/sludge but it is still great stuff.

Yes. It's ok, but for some reason don't really click with me. I do not hate it the way I hate Isis' music.

 

[Mort Divine]

Ah okay Understandable.
