Metal Thread V - Defenders of the Faith

[ex cathedra]

Well, I think that the two of them can be confused sometimes.

Edit:

But, to be clear, I don't condone that sort of thing.
Ever.

Oh my god. That's just awesome.

[Science Officer]

Oh, and I included some Warhammer-themed bands, which is just about the most metal topic a band could write lyrics about.

I don't know their stuff very well, but I've been lead to believe that Bolt Thrower is THE Warhammer metal band. They have album artwork and stuff provided by Gamesworkshop.


And thank you, I really, really like The New Keepers of the Water Towers.

Thanks for making me double-check Bolt Thrower. I actually thought that their 40k-related material was only from "Realm of Chaos". Turns out it the theme bled into their third album, and then intermittently from then on.

And yeah, New Keepers was definitely one of those gems in there. Nothing particularly new or innovative, but regardless, some damn good stoner metal.

[grimbold]

has anybody asides from me ever heard the Zakk Wylde album Book Of Shadows, its an amazing folk metal combination
(i realize i just changed the topic)

[Mythestopheles]

I would like to congratulate Whoracle and his bandmates on their album, I finally got the chance to listen to it (repeatedly) and I must say, it's got a sort of unique feel to it, and is rapidly rising towards being my current favorite band.

Well, thank you. Always glad to hear that
Wait until you hear our new material. Pretty strong stuff there.

[Whoracle]

Oooooh, that's an album I'll definetely try to get.

I've got some early recordings of three of the new tracks somewhere around here... I'll see if I can find them this weekend.

any word on the concerts and coming to paris yet whoracle?

Still no word on that. We're trying to get a guitarist for the tour right now.
As always: I'll keep you posted.

Is there anywhere I can listen to it online? Or to some of the songs at least?

Also, Hanzel Und Gretyl anyone?

[Whoracle]

[grimbold]

out of curiousity how are the record sales going for your album?

[Moff Chumley]

Also, Hanzel Und Gretyl anyone?

Not really a fan, but with very few exceptions, I'm not usually fond of industrial or its subgenres. I don't know why; when I first heard about it, I thought it would be awesome, and I love the idea of it, but none of the industrial I've heard has really caught my interest.

Well. That was bloody awesome. You guys sort of remind me of Winterhorde. Although I have no idea why...

But Industrial Metal is awesome! It combines Industrial with Metal... Not even Psyclon Nine?

[Moff Chumley]

As I've mentioned quite a few times, I prefer my metal preformed by a couple of unwashed drunks. That said, Psyclon 9 is pretty fun, although I don't really think of 'em as metal... metal influenced, certainly, but so's Huoratron, and no one calls him metal...

Metal thread should listen to Huoratron. Huoratron's a badass.

[toasty]

So it seems to me Soilwork's newer albums are basically In Flames, but better. Thoughts?

[grimbold]

you're pretty much right toasty
Soilworks is the better version of in flames

[toasty]

Which is sad, because I actually really like Clayman. Not a fan of much of their other work though, tbh.

[grimbold]

that is certainly fair enough they took a couple of years to mature

[PsychedelicBard]

With any luck, I might go see Symphony X this June. Fingers crossed.

[grimbold]

im probably going to go see a small band called flown in a month and a pink floyd show in a week

oh whoracle, for my music class ima do a presentation on your band because we don't do enough melodeath in french

[PsychedelicBard]

That would be both awesome and funny.

[grimbold]

yes especially cause half the kids in my music class are like straight hip hop kids
not that thats bad
they just would hate the uber awesomness and power of Frozen Infinity

How dare you insult the worlds greatest Aggrotech Black Metal band!

In Flames were good, up until Clayman. After that, they became a completely different, terrible band. Still, I've found their newer work to be good for introducing people to metal.

Soilwork, on the other hand, has a decrease in quality in their later works, although not as severe as In Flames, and The Panic Broadcast was a sign that they may be turning their band around.

It's only an insult if you view metal as inherently better than everything else, which I absolutely do not.

...I don't view it as better or worse. Don't get all mad at me, kay?

See I haven't listened to the Old Stuff much, but I like Clayman. I should really get around to getting some of their older albums.

And no, their newer albums are not good ways to get people into metal. They are bad albums and are ... just bad music in general. Except maybe 2-3 songs. Honestly, if I'm going to introduce someone who's never listened to metal before I'm going to start with Classic Metal (Iron Maiden and Dio are my #1 choices) and then probably through in some generic Hard Rock (the song that won me over to metal was Ten Thousand Fists by Disturbed).

[Nomrom]

I bought the new Amon Amarth cd yesterday, and I'm really liking it so far. I don't own any of their other albums though, so I can't make any comparisons, but if they all sound like this, I'll probably have to go buy some more. And I really like their cover of SOAD's Aerials. That was one of my favorite songs growing up and I think they did a really good job of playing it as a melodeath song.
