The Metal Discussion (Come in here for the chugga chuzz of the br00tal metal)

[Wretched]

Yeah, I didn't have many issues with the album as metal in general, but as Wretched, the new vocalist changed everything.

 

[The Ben]

Silent Stream Of Godless Elegy is a relatively unknown band that has been around since the 90s and still going strong. If you like folky doom metal or possibly even goth metal than I recommend giving them a listen.

[Veetaak]

Ascariasis played some pretty cool music

 

[Geenareeno]

Look at dem avatars.

 

[Roboturner]

Yeah I didn't realize Wretched's new lead singer was from Glass Casket until he told me. He is a good vocalist

 

[Luigitoilet]

Yeah I didn't realize Wretched's new lead singer was from Glass Casket until he told me. He is a good vocalist

Oh ****, I didn't realize this either! That's pretty awesome. I'm a fan of those vocals.

Makes me wanna put on that Glass Casket album now. brings back memories

[Veetaak]

I joined the club :D

Chelsea Grin is just that badass

 

[Roboturner]

Yeah my hate for Chelsea Grin still stands, but after seeing them live just hours ago, they know how to bring the house down. Plus Jason Richardson is still a badass.

(3 guitarists is a little asinine though)

 

[The Ben]

Not metal, but didn't Gallery Of Mites have six guitarists? Considering how awesome Bugs On The Blue Fish is I'm pretty sure you can never have too many guitarists.

 

[Wretched]

It really doesn't matter how many guitarists you have.
It matters how you sound, and whether that is with 87 drummers, 2 bassists, or 6 guitarists, that is irrelevant to the potential quality of their music.

 

[DerpDaBerp]

Melvins are the only ones I know of atm that have 2 full-time drummers.
Not metal I suppose, though easily a gateway

 

[Luigitoilet]

still though, if you have 3 guitarists, the sound should be rightfully more complex. bands like Chelsea Grin and Whitechapel don't "earn" three guitarists in my eyes.

I feel the same about guitars/basses with a lot of strings. I don't give a **** how many strings your ****ty Schecter guitar has if all you do is pull-offs on the lowest string.

as for extra drummers, some bands really pull it off well! Radiohead added another drummer and it's made their live show really really awesome. and as far as metal goes Mr. Bungle had two percussionists and Fantomas has Terry Bozzio with that ridiculous drumset that completely surrounds him.

 

[The Ben]

Kylesa has two drummers and sometimes their bassist acts as a third percussionist.

[Luigitoilet]

here's another song from my band! this is my favorite song off of our EP!

http://contactingnebulas.bandcamp.com/track/gravitic-warp

we're already hard at work on our full length and it is already turning out way better than the EP so you should be excited!!

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

That's sick bro.

 

[Pikaville]

Meshuggas new song is heavy as balls.

 

[Geenareeno]

The whole album is leaked on tpb if we're talking about the same thing. And yeah it's really good. Meshuggah is definitely good, but I don't usually listen to it just to listen to it. It's better for driving or gaming.

 

[Veetaak]

Meshuggas new song is heavy as balls.

I like Meshuggah's style but I personally find their music a bit boring. I like it when either the vocals or the music changes alot during a song

 

[Roboturner]

Seeing After the Burial and Within the Ruins when they come by in less than a month, cant wait to meet em

 

[Luigitoilet]

I like the new Meshuggah as much as I can like a Meshuggah album. Their **** gets very boring very fast for me, but this one has me interested for most of the running time.

 

[Wretched]

I saw After the Burial with Whitechapel, and they are pretty great live. Better than what I heard recorded.
Their vocalist applies himself so much. He is great.

 

[Zwarm]

I'm actually going to see Meshuggah, Baroness, and Decapitated next month. I'm mostly going for Baroness though, I'm not a huge fan of the other two.

Well, Meshuggah I used to listen to, but they are pretty boring, and I've never really listened to Decapitated. So yeah.

Opeth and Mastodon are also playing together, but I can't see them. I'm too busy with school and work.

seeing that tour too! So excited for Baroness's Yellow & Green. Psychedelic sludge >

Diablo Swing Orchestra (this is probably my most anticipated album of the year)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2mZVOd0jWY

And since they have an album coming out later this year, some Be'Lakor. Sadly none of the new material has leaked yet, but their other 2 albums are some of the best melodeath albums of the past 5 years and you should familiarize yourself with them ASAP.

Also lol @ calling Meshuggah boring.

Edit: Baroness owns. I remember when I first saw them when they were touring for their first EP (aptly titled First) and being absolutely floored. I need to see them live again.

 

[DerpDaBerp]

I missed when they toured with Mastodon. Gotta catch them this year
---
imo, Obzen > Koloss. I do very much like Mesh. though
---
!!! very glad you posted that DSO single

 

[Zwarm]

Well I only really listened to Obzen when it was new, and I really liked it at the time, but I grew out of it fast, and lost interest in listening to other songs by the band afterward.

To be fair, I haven't given all three bands enough of a try to have a solid opinion, all I know is I've liked every Baroness song I've listened to, so I'm anticipating them the most.

 

[Luigitoilet]

holy crap the new Cattle Decapitation is melting my body

 

[The Ben]

So while I was never a huge fan of theirs I know they had quite a following so I figured I'd share this. The first new Spineshank songs since 2003, the album comes out in June. I think it sounds like crap but maybe one of you guys will enjoy them.

Opening up for King Conquer and Abiotic tomorrow night. Stoooooked. I'm completely obsessed with Abiotic.

also, not really metal (though parts of it are) but this is a teaser medley of song pieces from my electro solo project which is named JILL SANDWICH. These are random prototype snippets from different songs thrown together. my first release will be LARVA EP.

trust me, it's not going to sound like what you're thinking when I say "electro solo project"!

[Wretched]

Had someone judge my vocals for the first time today. I have never done any in front of anyone.


My practice has paid off and I will eventually post covers of:

Carnifex YES! :D

I wanted to enter carnifex's cover contest, but couldn't find somebody who had a mic I could borrow , can't wait to hear your cover of that song!

 

[Geenareeno]

Oh my god Wretched those are like the three best songs ever. Can't wait.

K so I just found this on fb. Some of you will think it's really gay but i'm digging it. It's basically djentstep. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJwNfRaPp08

 

[Luigitoilet]

^^^ That was pretty decent. Some parts are terrible, others are pretty good.

so Abiotic ****ing killed it tonight. They actually sounded better live than on record which is insane for the technicality of the music.

They're also ridiculously humble and friendly guys. That they complimented me on my playing/our band's music means a ton to me because they are all so much better than us, hahaha.

Ambitionist and Forty Winters was awesome as well. I didn't stick around long for King Conquer though, because they kinda suck.

 

[Zwarm]

Dunno if Vektor's ever been brought up in here before, but I've been listening to them recently, and they're ****ing awesome. They're like Technical Thrash, which I never thought would sound that good, but it's really great. Here's my favorite song by them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeaqgmMNYQc

 

[Luigitoilet]

happy 420!

[Luigitoilet]

some good friends of mine in another Daytona Beach based band Ceruleus just released their first EP, Trenches, today! it is groovy God of War-themed melodic djent/deathcore. check it outtt

http://ceruleusband.bandcamp.com/

My personal favorite track is Mariana but the whole thing is pretty sick! Very solid work all around

edit:

vanity: here is me doing the right thing, repping mustaches and HTB

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

Man you wear your axe high.

 

[Wretched]

Man you have a sweet moustache
You can quote me on this "I, Wretched, do so declare that your mustache is ****ing incredible"
