Metal Thread VII: The Mosh Pit Don't Start 'Til We Walk In

[Comrade]

Rather interesting death metal band I came upon today. Lykathea Aflame. Still trying to wrap my head around that album. Can't tell what to think of it quite yet, really.

The link doesn't work for me...

But reading "TA DA", the first thing that comes to my mind, is this.

[Feytalist]

Speaking of Ensiferum, their new album is due to be released next month. Should be pretty good.

Anyone planning to start a Black metal/Grindcore band? Here's your band name:

Definite death metal material with that. It's pretty hardline.

Just got into Janaza. Pretty heady stuff, especially if you look into the behind the scenes.

Can I help you? They're amazing.

That said, how can I reciprocate the courtesy?
Elvenefris is 2000, so I'll pick something similary old. Here you are, with some melodic black metal: Thy Serpent

So, we're over midway through 2012. Any thoughts on (metal) releases this year? Here's my list and it is all black metal:

Best LP: Panopticon - Kentucky
Best EP: Deathspell Omega - Drought
Best Single: Ash Pool - Cremation is Irreversible
Best Split: Ashdautas/Bone Awl
Best Rerelease: Peste Noire - Les Démos
Most Pleasant Surprise: Mondstille - Seelenwund
Expectations Best Met: Brume d'Automne - Brume d'Automne
Expectations Least Met: Sigh - In Somniphobia
Autopilot Award for Excellency in Redundancy: Drudkh - Вічний Оберт Колеса (Eternal Turn of the Wheel)

Top 3 Releases:

1. Panopticon - Kentucky
2. Mondstille - Seelenwund
3. Peste Noire - Les Démos

[Comrade]

I'd say the best LP of 2012, and the one that best met my expectations, was Napalm Death's Utilitarian.

Expectations least met....toss up between Nile's At the Gates of Sethu and Kreator's Phantom Antichrist.

[godspit]

That Peste Noire re-release was awesome.

[grimbold]

alright i'll do it

Meshuggah-Koloss
Periphery-Periphery II
Hammer Horde-Vinlander
Alcest-Les Voyages de L'ame
Lamb of God-Resolution
Freedom Call-Land Of The Crimson Dawn
Inside Project-A History of Violence

eh... i don't have my ipod on me, can't think of any more off the top of my head :/
expect MOAR tomorrow

[Dallas-Dakota]

So, uhh, Grimbold pushed me to post here. So uhh grrr, rawr and stuff.

Either way, owww yeah, I'm going to Metalcamp! <3 and a week later see Sabaton and Eluveitie.


Oh no wait, that's Amon Amarth i'm seeing a week later, I'm seeing Sabaton + eluveitie on the 9th of September.

*dies of jealousy*

[godspit]

Morbid Angel is coming to SF in October with Grave and Dark funeral. Should be fun.

[grimbold]

Oo
MANOWAR AND ALCEST ARE COMING TO PARIS THIS FALL
*dies of excitement*

And then Morbid Angel plays nothing but their recent dance hits.

[WhamBamSam]

So I went to see Iron Maiden last night and it was magical. The set list was packed with favorites of mine, and just like the last time I saw them, I was very pleasantly surprised by the awesomeness of the live rendition of a song that I hadn't considered to be particularly strong in its album version (in this case "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son"). Maiden really do put on a spectacular show, and this one ranks up there with seeing Priest last Fall for the best concert I've ever seen. Alice Cooper was the supporting act, and what with all the theatrics and things that was also pretty fun. It's hard to compete with Maiden's stage show, but it's nice that it was at least made sporting.

Iron Maiden can't be fought.

Judging by the set lists here they've mostly been sticking to the old stuff. Even though it is technically the Illud Divinum Insanus tour, it seems to be more about damage control than actually selling the piece of crap record.

What a coincidence, I just saw them a couple hours ago myself. And yes. Very much yes.

I'm going to see them at the beginning of August. From this description, it sounds like it's going to be awesome. Not too much of an Alice Cooper fan, though. Maybe I'll arrive a bit late.

stoner metal gig tomorrow night

some of the bands on the bill are amaaaaazing

[Faulty]

What bands? :O

[Nomrom]

Holy Crap.

I was bored and needed new music to listen to, so I looked back through some of the recommendations you guys have given out recently. I ended up looking up the new Gojira album. I'd never heard of them before, but figured I'd try them out cuz their name was kinda cool.

They're freaking amazing. How have I never heard of them before? One of my new favorite bands. I already bought the new cd and The Way of all Flesh.

[Crow]

I just popped in Anthrax's ´Sound of White Noise´ for the first time in years.

Holy crap. Still love it!

[Faulty]

Never heard of any of those bands, yeah.

[grimbold]

all good stuff though!
check em out!

[Faulty]

Today is neofolk day, but as far as stoner, nothing surpasses Church of Misery for me.
