The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[Dak]

Cool. What are your favorite thrash/death bands?

I don't know if I could really rank anything but based on who gets the most listens Warbringer and reboot Death Angel are the top 2 thrash bands. Death I don't even know. Soilwork (my fav group) and LoG get more listens than any particular actual death metal band, although I do like Decapitated, Bolt Thrower, FGA, etc.

Yeah I'm a big fan of Warbringer. Mostly live, I don't actually listen to their albums much. But they have some kickass live energy, gets me pumped up every time. Seen them like 7 times now. I know a ton of newer thrash bands if you're interested/have time to check them out.

That's cool. I have a Soilwork album (Natural Born Chaos) and I listened to it a lot back in like 2003. Haven't caught up with their newer stuff. Which album(s) would you say to start with?

As far as Death I prefer old school like Death, Obituary, Atheist, Pestilence etc.

haha fucking kids

actually redstorm and iron wizard would make a cute couple

Yeah I like Death as well. Not those other 3 though. I'm definitely more of a modern death fan. FGA, Absymal Dawn, Dying Fetus, etc.

I like all the Soilwork albums for diff reasons. In terms of the sort of "quality" this board would laud, Steelbath Suicide, Natural Born Chaos, and The Ride Majestic are probably their best efforts. Bjorn Strid is easily my favorite vocalist, so I also like Disarmonia Mundi (similar to Soilwork but different enough. Except for the most recent album. Mind Tricks and Isolation Game were great).

I thought the Worlds Torn Asunder album was great. It's on my relatively limited "Run" playlist I listen to while running (obv).

What are your thoughts on Exmortus, Havok, Hatchet, Evile, Vektor?

What are your thoughts on Exmortus, Havok, Hatchet, Evile, Vektor?

I bought Vektor's demo CD ("Demolition") out of the back of their van in 07 or 08 before they got hot. They wowed as still "local talent" in Phoenix at the time. I've got to be in the mood for their techy thrash shrieking style but it's good stuff. I like Havok and Hatchet alright, but I saw Hatchet open for Soilwork once and I thought the live performance wasn't as good as the Dawn of the End album (which I like while not being impressed with it on any technical level). Haven't gotten into Exmortus or Evile.

Nice, yeah I saw them live back when they were still in Phoenix too. But that was post-Black Future. That demo is probably worth something now.

For Evile I'd say start with the Enter the Grave album. There's a possibility you might like it if you dig Hatchet and Warbringer.

Exmortus is one of my current favorite bands. Most people would say to start with In Hatred's Flame, but I like Slave to the Sword or Ride Forth a bit better. Really you can't go wrong with any of their albums imo.

If you like Vektor at all definitely check out Aspid - Extravasation if you haven't yet. One of the best tech thrash albums.

Other recs, or if you already know them lemme know:

Violator, Vhol, Lazarus A.D. (since you mentioned groove), Ripper, Deathraiser, Hexen, Fueled by Fire

I've thought about that. I still have it.

Extravasation is great, but hard to find other than OMGEVILDOWNLOADER copies or absurdly priced variants. Just like Invocator - Weave the Apocalypse.I'd love for someone to just gift me those 2 albums.

I love Lazarus - A.D.'s The Onslaught. It's also on my Run playlist. Unfortunately the album after that was a significant downgrade iirc. Fueled by Fire is alright but that's it if I'm thinking of the right band. Hexen was also a little meh. Can't remember if I checked out Ripper/Deathraiser or not. Edit: I like Power Trip, Toxic Holocaust, Nucleator, Sylosis, and Eliminator also btw.

I saw Death Angel live in Phoenix as well and even shook hands with them in the restaurant next to the venue at the time.Great live and on the albums. This was after Killing Season but right before Relentless Retribution dropped. Cool bunch of guys.

I'm familiar with all of those. Power Trip and Sylosis are awesome. TH and Nucleator are pretty good. Not big on Death Angel but I do like 1 album of theirs. Ok you might like:

Black Fast, Violator, Vhol, Reactory, Violent Omen, Warfect, Condition Critical, Obliterated, Avenger of Blood, and the new Hemotoxin is sort of Death worship:

 

[PrincessHades]

Listening to Ozzy.

 

[CiG]

No, but in tired of being seen that way. Everything I say there is my opinion.

Your opinion, yes.
Not really what I asked though. Are you there specifically to be a dick with your opinion? I was young once, I understand trolling religious people.

But I could take a hint, especially if I was banned.

I listen to Hellhammer and Beherit in the car.

Reading emails, and what the heck:

"Hello!

Thank you for being so patient! We know you've been wanting a phone call from one of the members of EXMORTUS, and since you qualify, over the next few days they'll be giving you a ring! But first, we need to know what phone number is best to reach you at. Please respond to this email within the next 24 hours with the phone number you would like them to use. "

from press@prostheticrecords.com

I don't remember signing up for that but ok. Not sure I even want the phone call lol. I've spoken to all of the dudes before after various shows.

 

[CiG]

Yeah, fuck that.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

wow they're using band names for that shit now?

I think i'm borderline narcoleptic. I just fall asleep while doing stuff. So annoying. I wish i didnt need sleep.

 

[Onder]

Hopefully I will have some pills for my allergy today. Doctor wrote me a prescription for some new shit. And some inhaler for my stupid nightly allergic asthma. This year I will face spring with all I can.

 

[Onder]

Working on a presentation for tomorrow's seminary and my beer is in the freezer. My nose is still clogged but it doesn't feel so bad at the moment. Might be better tomorrow even. I will get very drunk after I submit my diploma thesis. And maybe even several times before, after I get paid for last month. I need to buy a phone though. Le fu.

Listening to some czech operas. Why the fuck not. Fuck you.

 

[Onder]

Hey guys fuck you! Piece of shit. I want to get drunk you fucking pieces of cunt. FUCK. YOU.

Why. WHY.
