Metal

#41

any love for Alestorm here?

#42

One of my favorite tunes of all time.

#43

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?

#44

AOTY

#45

has to be one of the most interesting things Iā€™ve heard latelyā€¦ I"m not even sure what youā€™d call this. Really out there.

#46

Yup, pretty much.

i see some parallels between this and Naked Cityā€™s Torture Garden. Must be a NYC thing.

#47

dissonant anything is my kind of jam

check these out:

my last year aoty

then these:



#48

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 Iā€™ve heard in a while.

#49

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, itā€™s like Ion Dissonance goes more metal.

@Artificer NYC scene is sick. Car Bomb comes from that place and itā€™s one of my favourite bands ever.

I will do my top 10 albums bit later, need to jam more tunes.

#50

(speaking of dissonant fuckery)

#51

danza has like one good album which is Danza III but not this one

check this out



#52

this frontierer album is insane what the fuck?! how have I never heard of this.

#53

car bomb is sick, but frontiererā€™s a cool guy, too

#54
#55

Now ainā€™t that some shit

#56

lol I really wanted something to the tune of

ā€œCannibal Corpse totally supports Oā€™Brein being fucking metal and trying to stick it to the pigsā€

#59

So I guess Iā€™m kind of late to the Archspire party. This shit is so over the top ridiculous (speed rapping, anyone?) and I really shouldnā€™t 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.

#60

I think I donā€™t 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 isnā€™t the genre for me. Thereā€™s some stuff from Death, Carcass, Gorguts, etc that I like thatā€™s pretty technical, but I feel like Archspire, et al are considerably different in terms of feel. It doesnā€™t even sound heavy to me; itā€™s not nearly as punishing as grindcore, but itā€™s the similar tempo. I dunno. Hereā€™s some Japanese doom with Spanish lyrics and harp.

#61

Yeah, I can totally understand that. For me, itā€™s a mood thing. I love Gorguts and probably a lot of this kind of music that you gravitate towards, but itā€™s very demanding. You canā€™t 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. Iā€™d lump Imperial Triumphant that was posted previously into the same bucket. Deathspell Omega. Etc. But this Archspire shitā€¦itā€™s fun. Itā€™s been my working out background music. And itā€™s been hitting the spot lately, as Iā€™m squatting or whatever. It cracks me up.
