the "what are you currently listening to" thread

[Arkatox]

There were only six Stargate soundtrack releases ever (excluding a deluxe edition), and of those six only two are still in print. That is one of the things that's so totally wrong with the world we live in.

Cannot get enough of this CD...been on an extreme melodic metal kick lately, which is weird.

This album is AWESOME and the vinyl edition sounds amazing, but I don't think this is album of the year material. Not with bands like At the Gates, Sonata Arctica, Opeth, In Flames, and Anathema still coming out with albums later this year. Hell, the new Alcest album that came out in January is better than this, I think.

Still, the new Cynic will make it in my top 10, for sure.

I've been listening to the Lion's Roar nonstop ever since it came out and due to obligations I completely forgot the album was due.

Need to get my mitts on it as soon as possible. Thanks Rawshik ~~<3

I have had Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence by Dream Theater stuck in my head for the last 2 weeks. Specifically the About to Crash parts. One of my favorite albums

^ That baby metal thing grosses me out.

Anyway, new Sinbreed. It's pretty much exactly what you'd get expect.

 

[matt schrauben]

Stop posting baby metal. It makes you stupid.

Been listening to Dordeduh - "Dar De Duh"

Cool stuff, dogs.

 

[Aletheus]

I bet you two didn't even give "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" and "Megitsune" a chance. Naturally I don't take them seriously but at moments those 2 songs really show some true potential, and all I ask is that you listen to them ignoring what you've previously known to be "Babymetal".

Ancient Bards - Soulless Child (2011)
pretty solid release

Baby Metal?!?

This is so ridiculous it’s wonderful.

It’d be nice if the girls could actually play their guitars, but it’s still the best female fronted metal I’ve ever heard.

I bet I did and still thought it sucked and was stupid.

Anyway, cranking Celeste. Holy crap is this band DEVESTATINGLY heavy and awesome. They offer their first 3 albums and 1 EP as free download/pay what you want.

You're filled with so much hate and intolerance when it comes to that gimmick band. I honestly don't see where this is coming from, it's a generic mixture of jpop and metal. Much like "autotune the news" or song covers done on various items (rulers, buckets, etc) I can still dedicate a few spins to a track and see why it should be considered good. Honestly, I don't see myself getting Babymetal's album, nor would I want it in my collection, but it was still a weirdly fun discovery.

"Humble bundle" inspired?

Been listening to Aquilus. Got their album Griseus yesterday. On the first spin, I like what I'm hearing, but it seems a bit disjointed at times. Like long sections of strings and acoustic guitar come out of nowhere. I think I just need to give it a few more listens to digest, though.

 

[Jacob777]

This is hella dope. Love dat bass line too.

 

[Aish!]

I've been listening to Silent Lapse.

Not bad, but a bit slow for my liking.

 

[Arkatox]

To the Moon is a short story in game format. I beat it in about four hours, but it drew more emotions from me than probably anything else I have ever played, watched or read. So many conflicting emotions...

 

[labarum]

New CD by these guys is decent. Some pretty good songs.

 

[Arkatox]

This is one of the greatest guitar covers... ever.



P.S. Happy April Fools Day!
