Yeah, I mentioned it like a week ago.

But I see they've actually released the song now. That's cool. I wanted to wait for the actual EP but what the hell.


I'm kinda interested in that new Opeth. Sounds good.

Super cool that they decided to stream the whole song.

Was that really never linked to before? Huh. Anywho, the sad thing is, I would totally enjoy it if not for Akerstache's joke vocals. Still, I'm amazed at how fast he belted that album out. I'm not sure when Opeth's album was leaked, but Heritage (Of Love) came out about 3 weeks prior to Heritage's official release.

[EDIT: Come to think of it, maybe the only track to make use of lyrics from the Opeth album is "The Devil's Orchard" which was the single that came out in July. So, bar that, he could've been going off of the track list that probably came out long before the album.]

Heheh.


Going to a local gig tomorrow night. Mostly death metal / deathcore, which is meh, but Valkur will be there, a kind of groove black metal band. They're pretty great.

SA black metal scene represent :/

anyone heard the new periphery?

I have. I didn't know quite what to make of it when I first heard it. The instrumentals were, for the most part, top-notch. Spencer seemed to switch between poppy, melodic vocals and death growls, which isn't really my thing. Best songs were probably Have a Blast and Make Total Destroy, with special mention to Erised for having a Petrucci guest solo.

[grimbold]

i adored have a blast because guthrie is my god

but yeah
i hope juggernaut is heavier...

Yeah, I changed it when I became obsessed with the Silent Hill games and Tenements.

By the way, have you seen this last.fm journal? So glad someone put the effort into deciphering the narration.

Touching briefly on Agalloch, they're coming over to SF with a band called Taurus (Some Brazilian thrash band, which is a weird line up) in August.

Should be fun times.

So Luca Turilli's new band brought out its first album. And it's somehow also called Rhapsody? These guys are in serious need of some new band names.


Also new Vintersorg album is out. And I just found out that Vintersorg was the vocalist for Otyg. My mind has been retroactively blown.

Ascending to infinity?
The band was called Turilli's Rhapsody, 'cause Turilli thinks to "Ascending..." as the 11° disc of Rhapsody, the ideal successor of "From chaos to eternity", so it's always Rhapsody again and again.

(IMO it's a lame excuse. )

It isn't exactly like the band sounds different from RoF. I think the vocalist is harder to understand though.

Anyone else here who has listened to the new Gojira album?

I got mine today, and man, was it worth the wait or what? This might even top From Mars To Sirius as my favourite Gojira album. The title track, The Axe, Planned Obsolescence, Born In Winter... It's just filled with great songs. I love the album.

(I also love the T-shirt that was included in the bundle with the album, lol)

[grimbold]

that album was AWESOOOOME
almost as good as the new periphery!

[Comrade]

Anyone listen to the new Nile record?

Also, been listening to Wolves In The Throne Room's 'Two Hunters' quite a lot lately. Guess I can chalk that up as another great record this thread has introduced me to.

Two Hunters is awesome. I think actually that Black Cascade is better, so check that out too, maybe.

i don't really like nile... even if their lyrics are cool they are a bit too "generic DM' for me and asides from old school death metal i don't particularly like normal death metal

[cleric_of_BANJO]

Alright, since things seem to be going slow, I'll tell you guys about a new (well, old) speed/thrash band I recently discovered.


Paradox. They have an awesome sound, kind of like early Blind Guardian, although recently they've been changing their sound, adding some progressive elements. Still, I like their thrash oriented stuff best, but that may just be personal preference.

Had anyone heard of these guys before? I only know because Ultraboris mentioned them in another review, and autothrall gave all their albums pretty good ratings, but they seem to be fairly unkown.

...Wow. How have I never heard of these guys before? They're amazing. So far, I personally like both their old and new sounds equally, although my opinion may change as I listen to more.

Listening to your first link, my thought was: "mmm... another band that does not have the reputation it deserves".

Yeah, I remember Paradox. Couple of thrasher friends made me listen to them. Not a huge fan. Not even of their new sound, really.

I'm not even a fan of early Blind Guardian, actually.

I know Mistur. They're pretty good. But then, folk/Viking is kind of my thing. And anyway, anything with Strom on guitars would be good.
