any love for Alestorm here?
Metal
I like that trackā¦ parts of it anyway. Quirky arrangementsā¦
I feel that this band is capable of composing the best metal tune I ever heard.
Andā¦how Ć propos, eh?
has to be one of the most interesting things Iāve heard latelyā¦ I"m not even sure what youād call this. Really out there.
Yup, pretty much.
i see some parallels between this and Naked Cityās Torture Garden. Must be a NYC thing.
Will certainly blast through these!
Speaking of dissonant, did you listen to the Convulsing album that was posted earlier in this thread? Some of the best death/dissonant metal Iāve heard in a while.
I think i listened to his first album once. Just check Coma Cluster Void, it has vocalist from Cryptopsy (second vocalist, not the first one). Too good, itās like Ion Dissonance goes more metal.
@Artificer NYC scene is sick. Car Bomb comes from that place and itās one of my favourite bands ever.
I will do my top 10 albums bit later, need to jam more tunes.
lol I really wanted something to the tune of
āCannibal Corpse totally supports OāBrein being fucking metal and trying to stick it to the pigsā
So I guess Iām kind of late to the Archspire party. This shit is so over the top ridiculous (speed rapping, anyone?) and I really shouldnāt like it, butā¦I do. I really do. To be that fucking fast and yet still manage to write hooky memorable shit is pretty incredible.
I think I donāt get it. All the super tech-y stuff just sounds like people practicing scales to me, and I literally end up giggling when they start the goofy cookie monster tough guy vocals. As much as I try, this just isnāt the genre for me. Thereās some stuff from Death, Carcass, Gorguts, etc that I like thatās pretty technical, but I feel like Archspire, et al are considerably different in terms of feel. It doesnāt even sound heavy to me; itās not nearly as punishing as grindcore, but itās the similar tempo. I dunno. Hereās some Japanese doom with Spanish lyrics and harp.
Yeah, I can totally understand that. For me, itās a mood thing. I love Gorguts and probably a lot of this kind of music that you gravitate towards, but itās very demanding. You canāt put that on as background music and go about your day. I already need to be in that kind of mood and I need to sit down and listen to it. Iād lump Imperial Triumphant that was posted previously into the same bucket. Deathspell Omega. Etc. But this Archspire shitā¦itās fun. Itās been my working out background music. And itās been hitting the spot lately, as Iām squatting or whatever. It cracks me up.
