Metal Thread VII: The Mosh Pit Don't Start 'Til We Walk In
Metal Thread VII
Welcome to the latest iteration of this refuge of all things tr00 and kvlt, if not grim and frostbitten.
Before we commence with the bickering and back-patting, a few official orders of business: when the feds come a knockin', tell 'em the Ke$ha reference was Faulty's idea. Second, for those of you who're unaware that this thread title's a Ke$ha reference, it's a Ke$ha reference. You just voted for an ironic Ke$ha reference.
How does that make you feel?
Also, ten demerits to Nitrogen for not being a metal.

Thanks for providing me with a very amusing couple of minutes
Although you kinda have to feel bad for the guy. All he wants to do is make some meaningful music, and all that's standing in the way of that is his apparent lack of talent.

I can sympathize, but still, damn. Reverend J.R. Preston of Tjolgtjar is similar. He makes a lot of BM and really cares about it and has some crappy releases, but at least a good chunk of his music is good.

So Sonata Arctica has been streaming their new album. Gotta say, I'm sad that it didn't impress me more. Only the Broken Hearts (Make You Beautiful) is pretty good, as are Cinderblox and the two Wildfire songs. Besides that though...meh.

Sonata Arctica has been rather mediocre for a while, (weighing in the fact that that particular aspect of metal doesn't appeal to me, so looking at it objectively is a tad bit difficult).

I reviewed the latest Lunar Aurora on my blagh. For those of you who haven't touched it but might be interested, I've also reviewed the newest Sigh and Revenge thus far.

Yeah, they haven't exactly been great since Unia. Still, I was hoping for some change. They show an ability to write good songs, they just don't seem to be able to carry it through a full album.

Eluveitie have never really impressed me. Turisas have always been more impressive, even though recently they seem to be reveling in their success a little too much.
For those who are unfortunate enough to be in the hot Californian sun, here is something to help you stay frostbitten.
Re: Metal Thread VII: The Mosh Pit Don't Start 'Til We Walk In
Hey all. Even though I listen to a lot of stuff these days, I still consider myself a metalhead at heart. I'm an old fart though, so don't expect me to be up-to-date on all of it

Manticora are one of those bands that I'll pass through when looking through youtube for new music, and just not really register until someone specifically points them out to me. I like what I'm hearing, now that I'm bothering to pay attention.
Pharaoh have been on my list of things-to-listen-to-more-of for a while. I've been fond of Tim Aymar since hearing his work in Control Denied.
It would also be remiss of us not to mention that IcedEarth are still the biggest and meanest in the Power Metal playground.
Blind Guardian used to be a bit more aggressive than they've been on their past few albums, but even with the recent pepperings of prog/symphonic/synth elements in the music, they still have a fair bit of bite.
On the more obscure front, Persuader are solid, the album that Pyramaze did with Matt Barlow was pretty cool, and Cellador are decent.

Not really, I can get the same effect from bands like ElvenKing or Equilibrium.
So me and my friend decided to create a band after spending some time together at a band camp (in the words of my friend "you can sing, i can play lets go!"). So far its coming along really well. We have two finished original songs and ideas for more, mostly folky death metal, as well as some really sick covers; Phantom of the Opera (nightwish version) and The Trooper.
Nothing really serious, one or two afternoons a week, but i think we sound really good. We are looking at eventually getting some gigs once we have a few more songs, but there aren't too many all ages venues around my city and we are both too young to drink (technically )
I was wondering if the Metal Thread had any words of wisdom about making metal.
