Also there's Meshuggah's "I", but it's over 20 mins long. It's one of the few Meshuggah songs I legitimately like (as opposed to ironically like to annoy pretty much everybody).

I'm probably simplifying this, though, as I'm sure your set of reasons in each case are different. *shrug* I will concede that ToT is definitely underrated.

I should give Chemical Wedding another shot. When last I heard it, it came off as a weaker version of A Matter of Life and Death, and I ended up gravitating toward Accident of Birth which has more of a classic Maiden vibe, and hence was more what I was looking for at the time.
Hm, I don't see the connection between Chemical Wedding and AMoLaD (or really any Maiden album). Roy Z's guitar tuning and riffs don't sound like Maiden at all. Not to mention how CW is a lot darker than anything Maiden ever did. I'd be curious to see if you feel the same way after giving it another listen.

Also, new Borknagar album out. I've heard it's close to The Olden Domain, so that sounds promising. Also, ICS Vortex is back. Report to follow.
Lemme know when Garm rejoins.

Re: Metal Thread VI: We're So Kvlt, We Have Frostbite On Our Devil Horn Fingers
Compared to other mainstream metal they are fantastic, and they are very skilled muscisians. I have nothing but the utmost respect for them.
They just aren't my style.
Addendum: I guess on further introspection that I like them more than I thought. I am a bigger fan of Gojira in that genre, but it comes to taste. "Bleed" is one of my favorite songs to play on bass. It's a ton of fun.

It bums me out that Kristoffer "Fiery G. "Garm" Maelstrom" Rygg and Simen "ICS Vortex" Hestnęs never made babies existed in the same band at the same time. The universe might have exploded; Norway should've, at least.

That's certainly part of it. I think I also like ToT because it's a bit more personal. While I love the narrative aspect of Scenes and all the nuance and intricacy that the music brings to that narrative, it's sort of refreshing to have DT come right out with what's on their respective minds. Of course it's all being expressed through the usual wankery and complexity - I'd be disappointed if it weren't - but there's a very clear direction to the progression.

Four more words: "The Count of Tuscany." I love that song, arbitrary 3 1/2 minute sad piano section, Portnoy faux-growling, and all. Actually, Black Clouds and Silver Linings is an interesting specimen with regard to the point I was trying to make, in that it sort of sits at the intersection of the things I was contrasting. Most of the songs on the album come from personal experiences and inner feelings, but its all being expressed in a way which is significantly more theatrical than on ToT.
Also, that pattern of favoring the "rocker" album tends to invert itself when it comes to my tastes in extreme metal, see my preference for the last four Death albums over the first two.

Yeah, you're right. I don't know what I was thinking. Best I can guess is that I was really intent on finding a Maiden connection, and AMoLaD, being the darkest musically and most thematically grim of the Maiden albums, was the best I could come up with.

After you advance to Slayer, you advance to Whiplash and Artillery. :smalltongue:
I don't know a ton about thrash, but there are a few bands I f'ing love.
So Leslie Feist and Mastodon released a split, where Feist covers a Mastodon song and vice versa. Now, I'm normally not the type to give a **** about whether something is (in)appropriately metal, but that is horribly unmetal.

Re: Metal Thread VI: We're So Kvlt, We Have Frostbite On Our Devil Horn Fingers

Today, as well as a split with The Flaming Lips. :smalltongue:

Re: Metal Thread VI: We're So Kvlt, We Have Frostbite On Our Devil Horn Fingers
I will most likely be seeing Watain and Behemoth next month. On non-metal notes, probably also St. Vincent, and hopefully Refused this summer.
-
Re: Metal Thread VI: We're So Kvlt, We Have Frostbite On Our Devil Horn Fingers
I might be seeing Meshuggah/Baroness/Decapitated, but I'm rather hesitant because it is $40 and I am not really a fan of Meshuggah.
What I definitely will be seeing is Origin/Cattle Decapitation/Decrepit Birth/Aborted/Rings of Saturn (whew). I'm still amazed by the fantastic lineup of this tour.
And finally, I am planning on finally attending Summer Slaughter. May I ask if there are any others who plan on going?

St Vincent is dual heading with tUnE yArDs in a few days and I can't afford it. :smallannoyed:

They're terrific. Merrill's a hell of a singer, and supposedly they put on a really great show. Check 'em out, you'd probably like 'em.
And grimmy, they're too sincere to be hipsters. :smalltongue:

Hipsters are a strange kind. I don't know how, but I can somehow tell a hipster by being within range of them. I must give off this mainstream aura, because some of their heads explode in my presence.
