oh my

new thread
YAY

[grimbold]

i just discovered a sick unsigned band called Hhogwash

[Nameless]

Hurray, my thread title was used.
And seeing as it's Black Metal themed, let's have some trve kvlt forstbitten grim Black Metal from the furthest reaches of... umm... Australia.

Seriously, anything which involves Tim Yatras is awesome. It's just a fact of life.

[Kindablue]

There is no word for how badly I want a Michael Amott Signature Tyrant (the third one down with the blood splatter finish).

This belongs here because it's such a METAL GUITAR \m/\m/

Very classy.

[Marillion]

I was a bit confused by the middle bit of Song of Myself. It sounds exactly like the start of Anathema's Temporary Peace, off A Fine Day to Exit. Same tone, same voice. Hell, same accent, even. Bit strange, to say the least.

You managed to set me on an Anathema kick. Not that there's anything wrong with that; Judgment is easily on my top 10 list of albums. It's just that I kind of liked being happy

I have to say that while I don't necisarilly dislike his Dean signatures, I think it's really too bad he didn't stick with ESP. This guitar just seems so much better designed than the Dean ones despite being around the same price

[Moff Chumley]

I still think Dylan Carlson's Tele's pretty metal. How much bawlls does it take to walk onto a stage, plug in, and start playing drone doom with one of these?

While I'm not an authority on the subject by any stretch of the imagination, I can't help but think of my little brother's joke that Deans are only good for smashing at the end of shows. It is nice looking to my untrained eye though.

[Moff Chumley]

I dunno, as far as shape I don't really see it as drastically different from the Tyrant. Plus, no splatter finish = not as metal. >.>

Looking pretty and being cheap are Dean's two sole selling points, so

Heh, I had a similar thought when I saw Jari rocking out on a teli in Wintersun's "beyond the dark sun music video". I think it may officially mean that they are the first hipsters of their respective genres.

Heh. I'm with you there. But I've got so much downer music I tend not to even notice Anathema these days. Which is a shame.

Also, I think I meant the end of Temporary Peace. And on relistening, it's actually not exactly the same. But it's darn similar.

[grimbold]

oh just wanted to check with you guys

what is the most metal color of the Rhand Rhoads FlyingV?

[Feytalist]

Dimmu Borgir's guitarist has this custom V the colour of dried blood. It's a pleasing colour for me, for some reason.

i will look into that

[Feytalist]

Huh. So I just found out about Morten Veland's side project, Mortemia. One release so far. I'd never known about it. Reviews seem good, I'm going to check it out. Anyone else know of it?

One reviewer made me chuckle. "Why aren't you as good as Moonspell?". Indeed.

[grimbold]

morternia is pretty sweet and rather kvlt

Blackspell I just discovered this band from a place where metal is illegal
SO KVVVVVLT

[Feytalist]

Eh, it's essentially Sirenia without the poppy-girl vocals. Not that that isn't awesome. Cause it totally is.

Is it too early to start listing our favourite albums of the year?

Actually, I'm in love with Surtur Rising, but I don't know if it's really my best of the year.

[grimbold]

i think its fine so i'll start

Back through time-Alestorm

this album is melodic and also the best thing ever and PIRATES

also
new metallica EP out today of outtakes from Death Magnetic

I find some of the songs to be too long and lacking direction

thoughts everybody?
(theres a review on my blog if you're interested)

As of right now, Iconoclast - Symphony X followed closely by Dystopia - Iced Earth, but some sources have suggested that the second Control Denied album will finally be released on the 27th, so that could potentially still snag the top spot.

Today, I'll be listening for the most part purely to Death. Because, as I'm sure you all know :v, December 13, 2011 is the tenth anniversary of Chuck Schuldiner's death. The man was very inspirational to me, as a guitarist, as a lyricist, and as a person (as you can tell, because some of his lyrics are in my sig). Not much more I can say here. Today I am paying my respects to one of the greatest metal musicians of all time; hopefully everyone else here sees fit to do so as well, in their own way and however they like. You may not be a fan of Schuldiner's music with Death, but his...well, death, robbed the world of a brilliant metal musician, a powerful personality, and a great human being.

[Feytalist]

Let's see. Mine are:

Falkenbach - Tiurida. Been waiting like 6 years for this bastard and it didn't disappoint. It really has everything I ever wanted from Falkenbach. Some people might say it's repetitive, or derivative, but honestly I don't care. It's just too good.

Iced Earth - Dystopia. Pleasant surprise of the year. I didn't expect it to be good, but it really was. I almost won't miss Matt Barlow.

Midnattsol - Metamorphosis Melody. Mostly because it's so much better than their previous album. And I can't help it, but I really like this kind of music, heh.

Moonsorrow - Varjoina kuljemme kuolleiden maassa (I had to look it up to type that colossus of a title). At first I didn't like this one, but mostly I think that was because their previous albums were just so good. After a few replays though, I really like this one. In fact, I really like everything Moonsorrow does.

And here I am, thinking I was alone in my "Death full immersion"... glad I was wrong.

I'll just leave this here then, the mighty Gene doing his thing.

What's this I hear about a second Control Denied album? I am not a fan of Death, but Control Denied was awesome. I'm sad I didn't discover them until after Chuck Schuldiner's death, but I've enjoyed The Fragile Art of Existence for a long time. If there's more on the way, is it unfinished material from back before he died, or did the other band members decide to find somebody else and continue on?

CONTROL DENIED Frontman Issues Update On Long-Awaited Second Album - Dec. 4, 2010

[Leon]

So I guess the new Nightwish album came out yesterday?

Who's interested? I kinda am.

I discovered the fact yesterday while looking at a Christmas new releases advert for JBHIFI and have been listening to it on youtube a heck of a lot and have fast tracked it to my "buy this for Christmas, no questions" list.
