The Metal Thread - For when your dragon blazes with power

[Lazlow]

Greatest music video ever made

[AranchineD]

God damn asians man, think they're good at everything

[Knuckle Children]

Also; I like how metalcore fans don't think their bands use autotune:

gOoocD4azd0

Playing Six on GH2 is all the ATR that I need.

[Gunblade89]

Give Gallows Gallery a spin for something completely different, but still as cool. I haven't heard the remastered version though, but going from youtube vids of it, it sounds like they cleaned up the production a bit. Especially on The Tranquilizer Song, it sound like a whole new song.

Didn't even know Cradle were working a new album, but there it was in JB tonight, so I grabbed it. Just checked out the two reviews on metal archives and neither was overly negative with one calling it the best thing they had done since Midian, the other mentioning that the guitars are less chugging with more melodic leads about the place. So hopefully my optimism going in is not in vain. The cover art (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_thv7yS0MMN0/TG7x-i_YmoI/AAAAAAAAAPI/q3tgsbK_ONY/s1600/Darkly,+Darkly,+Venus+Aversa.jpg) does remind me a fair bit of Cruelty and the Beast.

Also grabbed Blind Guardian's "At the Edge of Time", as lately I've had "A Twist in the Myth" playing in my car non-stop for the last week, and I needed another BG album. This was all they had so hopefully it is decent too.

[Lex]

Been listening to Sigh and their album ''Imaginary Sonicscape'' it's a japanese black metal band, wow amazing stuff. Anyone else heard them?

Well you've blown your load too early, that's the best thing they've put out. Still, check out Hail Horror Hail and and Scenario IV, the 2 albums before IS, not quite as good, and sometimes very clunky, but still interesting. Infidel art is good, scorn defeat is.. well it's not really my thing. Gallows gallery is awesome, but very different.

And for the latest 2 albums, check out hangmans hymn first, I loved it, but I can see why others wouldn't, and if so you definately wouldn't like Scenes.

Sigh are probably my favorite metal band, can't recommend them enough, they're just a bit inconsistent.

That's their newest, IMO it is better than A Twist in the Myth, but not quite as epic as A Night at the Opera.

[Lazlow]

That new Cradle CD started off a bit underwhelming, but got pretty good around tracks 4-6. Yet to finish it, I listen to most of my CDs in the car these days.

[Watchers]

That's their newest, IMO it is better than A Twist in the Myth, but not quite as epic as A Night at the Opera.

This. If only because the production quality is way better than Myth. Wheel of Time and Sacred Worlds are pretty ****ing amazing though. Get me pretty pumped for their orchestral project.

Thanks for the recomendation, will check those out as well.
IS is such a great album to just chill out to IMO.

Word on the street, is that Agalloch's "Marrow of the Spirit'' is pretty damn good.

[Silverwolf]

Not as good as Ashes, but it is decent.

Machinae Supremacy's new album "A View From The End Of The World" is possibly my album of the year, I've been having trouble listening to much else for the last two weeks, it's basically some of the best (if somewhat nerdy) Power Metal i've ever heard.

Although I just got Anthelion's new EP, and sounds awesome from the first riff. Vocalist also does a scream that lasts for 21 seconds!~!~!!!1!

Yep, I f***ing love it too. Its more varied than ...Myth with a good mix of ballads, mid-paced epics, and fast catchy headbangers.

I love "Ride Into Obsession" and "A Voice in the Dark", gotta love those fast songs. :D

[Watchers]

Metallica last night was pretty awesome. Last quarter of the show (after the encore) could've been better though.

They did play I Disappear and Harvester of Sorrow, which were both extremely unexpected and awesome. Shortest Straw, too. ^_^

[AranchineD]

If you didn't get Orion, No Leaf Clover and Whiplash then your show sucked

[Watchers]

Got Orion, would've liked No Leaf Clover though. Whiplash, I couldn't care less about. We did get Jump in the Fire, so the 'mediocre song from Kill 'em All' slot was aptly filled.

Last time (in 2004), we got The Four Horsemen and Hit the Lights which was awesome.

[AranchineD]

How about Stone Cold Crazy then, smart guy http://www.uyac.com.au/forum/images/smilies/coolglasses.gif

[Watchers]

They played Breadfan (which is ok) and Turn the Page (which was awesome).

[Silverwolf]

I love "Ride Into Obsession" and "A Voice in the Dark", gotta love those fast songs. :D

Ride Into Obsession is my personal favourite from the album too, great riff and Hansi's singing is just awesome.

Sodom's new album leaked/released and it's PRETTY ****IN AWESOME.

[Queenie]

I think Korn are pretty cool too, though I don't really listen to them. I did like their singer's work on the soundtrack for Queen of the Damned though.

What makes you say that?

[Italian Stallion]

Finntroll are coming in March next year, and it looks like LORD are supporting Maiden next year. Woo! Good times.

[Gunblade89]

Still Life by Opeth, is such a great album. :)

[Knuckle Children]

Listening to Kylesa's newie, Spiral Shadow. I kinda lose track of all the ****ing categories and sub-categories of metal nowadays, but apparently they are sludge.

It's actually not bad. They're a pretty tight outfit and the drummer does some great work. It's a bit more refined and varied in sound than their last effort, and has definitely earned a few more listens. Palm muted, downtuned fifth chords are always welcome in my house.

[Gunblade89]

I haven't listened to the band your talking about, i think i've heard their name before...
but if you like the ''sludge'' metal sound, check out Isis and Pelican ;)

[Gunblade89]

Red Sparowes are quite good to, but they are abit more post rock.

[Kao]

man red sparowes are pretty boring honestly.....

[Gunblade89]

Nah i disagree, although they do seem to get better with each listen.

[.StaticA.]

Why the feck aren't Dimmu Borgir doing sidewave shows?

[Italian Stallion]

No idea!

Looking forward to Maiden though! Saw them last week as well, awesome show.

2mLf2K5V5S4
Was expecting them to turn to shit, but I'm pleasantly surprised by this new guy.

[Lazlow]

Didn't realise Amon Amarth have a new album out end of March. I'm assuming its already leaked.

[Lazlow]

And yeah, that new singer sounds rad. Hope he's got Theart's stage presence, that guy was awesome.

[Italian Stallion]

No leak yet that I've found. Couple of tracks around though.
This one's meant to be a tribute to Dio or something.

New Bodom's available. Haven't given it a listen yet though, crap quality. Here's a track from it which sounds pretty good though.
6WhOldCV490
There's a single they've released as well, but it's crap with a few bits and pieces of good.

New Moonsorrow's out too. Loving it. They can do no wrong.

[Lazlow]

Mate's band has released their 3 track EP on Roadrunner's website. Tell me what you think

Acacia (http://signmeto.roadrunnerrecords.com/artists/acacia)

Very Dimmu-ish Symphonic Black/Death. Second track is probably their most varied composition with a bit of female backing vocals and acoustic interludes.

They spent about $3-4k on production so its a step up from their rough Catamenia-clone myspace demos.

They've actually got two drummers, with one coming from the left channel and one from the right. Really gives them an awesome drum sound without being spam-ish IMO.

Listening to the second track now. Quite like it, actually. Singer sounds a bit like Shagrath mixed with the dude from Moonspell. Other two songs, I don't like so much.

Also, Finntroll last night were pretty awesome.

[Lazlow]

I think the third track is their weakest, and the first I feel the synths are too imposing, but I still like it.

[Lazlow]

The Live DVD that comes with Surtur Rising is f***ing awesome, 33 tracks covering Golden Hall to Versus.

Speaking of Surtur Rising, it sounds like classic Amon Amarth, but there's something different. I don't know if its simply different song writing, or whether they tuned higher or wrote the album in a different key... it almost sounds upbeat.

[Watchers]

Yeah, I was just saying that the other night. 33 track DVD without bumping the price over $20 = Awesome. I quite like the new album too, except for the cover of that horribly boring SoaD song Aerials floating around on some editions (thankfully not mine). Not as good as Twilight imo, though.

[Lazlow]

Aerials was for the iTunes release.

And mine cost over $20 >_<

(but not over $30, which I would have paid for the DVD alone)

Oh no no no, It's definitely better than Twilight. With Oden on Our Side or The Avenger is their best.
Wrath of the Norsemen is a great song.


Also new Guardians of Time... Waited 7 years for an album absolutely nothing like their masterpiece Machines of Mental Design. It's definitely not bad, but compared to Machines, it's nothing.

New Samael - Great
New Children of Bodom - Boring
New Norther - Boring
New Scar Symmetry - Great!
New Lake of Tears - Good.
This year has been ridiculously good for releases so far, and theres still lots to come.

So, anyone in Sydney going to see Alestorm this Friday? :D

[Silverwolf]

Seeing them tonight.

Voyager as support, make sure you see them too. Voyager are greaaaaaaaaaaaat.

[Blackwater]

I just want my new Opeth and Mastodon albums, dammit!

[Silverwolf]

Opeth are well past their prime, i'd rather Akerfelt put time towards a new Bloodbath album.
Don't care about Mastodon.

I'd trade albums by both of those bands for one of the long due albums by Persuader, Satariel or Wintersun (lol)

[Blackwater]

Bloodbath had a good run, now they're just incredibly samey

[Silverwolf]

No more than Opeth, really.

This was like 2006 or so. So I dunno if you beat that. Anyway, I'll race you to the next band.

[Clift]

Alestorm were pretty damn wicked last night. :D Voyager weren't too bad, and the local support Darker Half were surprisingly good.

Met Gareth Murdock (Alestorm Bassist) which was cool. Overall definitely worth going. :)

[Clift]

Blind Guardian are coming! :D Only doing Sydney and Melbourne though.

[Watchers]

Already got my ticket. Last time was the best gig I've ever been to, so pretty high hopes!

Sounds vastly different to what i've heard of them.

[Lazlow]

I don't know about vastly different, there's certainly a change, there's almost a Fear Factory vibe with the riffs. It certainly sounds more... traditional in its structure.

[Fenrir]

...wow. That last one's kinda alright, I guess; but damn, Morbid Angel have seen far better days.

Recently picked up new Amon Amarth, at ~$23 including the bonus DVD I'm pretty happy with it. It's built on a pretty solid base of typical Amon Amarth, but they seem to've stepped up the ante a bit harmonically with this one, not entirely leaning on safe stuff like aeolean tremolo passages or phrygian blasting as seem to be their mainstays. It feels like progress, I think. Slaves of Fear is built around a really cool riff.

Also picked up Vesania's Distractive Killusions, which is a few years old now. Interesting to finally hear the thing in whole, and there's a lot of cool stuff in here; but I've less patience these days for music that oscillates between awesome riffs and botched noise, and that's kinda where this is at.

I guess the other thing I bought into lately is Blind Guardian's latest, which, whilst perhaps shallower than ANATO, still kicks a lot of arse, especially in the middle. I'm hanging out for their tour here.

Agreed with both, it's quite amazing how Amon Amarth can release albums which all sound so similar, yet none of them are samey and noone cries that they just make the same shit over and over.

"Okay," I thought, "she's adequate. Not as good Tarja but does the job."

Then the chorus came along.

oh dear.

[Watchers]

They really should just not try to get her to sing the operatic vocals. She simply can't. She does fine when she's doing her own thing, but I guess I was never a big fan of Tarja anyway. There are way better female vocalists than both of them. I guess I mainly like Nightwish for Toumas' writing and Marco in general. Marco shits all over both of the ladies, especially live.

[Lazlow]

Heathen

[Watchers]

Give me Sharon den Adel or Liv Kristine or Floor Jansen any day. Or Simone Simons - yum.

[AranchineD]

Get a load of this shallow cock


judging women on their looks

[Watchers]

Well, tbh, the first three were their voices. Floor is not particularly attractive. Simone though...

And Laz, I don't see what you see in those In Flames songs. I don't mind some of their newer stuff but the new album (and the one before it) just don't appeal at all....

[Lazlow]

I dunno, there's some catchy riffs and choruses, and Anders isn't sounding so much like Jonathan Davis these days.

Give me Sharon den Adel or Liv Kristine or Floor Jansen any day. Or Simone Simons - yum.

Don't think you can really compare Tarja to them. Stylistically she's very different, and technically runs rings around them. Simone Simmons cites Tarja as the reason she studied classical music.

Sharon, Floor and Simone are all fantastic but are somewhat stylistically different.

Liv Kristine though... I think she's the weakest of that lot. No power, limited range, she's greatly helped on record by layering her vocals.


Picked up Demonaz's new solo album today. A great blend of Immortal's texture with Bathtory's song writing. I think I like it more than I.

[Watchers]

Wasn't making direct comparison, just stating what I like better. Disagree about Liv though.

Also, Jon Davis would be a great front man to a band that was actually good.... assuming he cut the whiny stuff down/out.

Loved them last time I saw them.. and looking forward to Sunday & Monday nights.

Did you check out the support bands? I love Eyefear & Black Majesty, always interesting to hear others' thoughts.

Seeing Be'lakor tonight, their only show of 2011. Can't wait!

[Clift]

I considered making the trip down to Melbourne to see BG as Melbourne crowds always seem better (Not that last night was disappointing), but the usual problem of money prevented it. :p

I did catch both Eyefear and Black Majesty, pretty impressed by their performances. Very tight. Musically it grabbed my attention, may have to give some of their studio stuff a listen. Eyefear's volcalists' hair is ridiculous in an awesome kind of way. :D

[Watchers]

Danny is great. Off to see Be'lakor tonight with Damo. Should be good, though I mainly just wanna see Orpheus again ^_^

[Italian Stallion]

Just got back from Blind Guardian. Show was great. CBF details. Black Majesty & Eyefear were as good as always. Blind Guardian blew me away as much as last time and more.

Can't wait for tomorrow night!

Also, Be'lakor & Orpheus were excellent. Both highly recommended local melo-death. :D

[Watchers]

Fantastic three days.

Be'lakor and Orpheus both great.

Black Majesty and Eyefear both excellent, as expected. Nice that they switched up the opening order on the second night.

Blind Guardian were amazing both nights. The sets were different, bar around four songs, which was fantastic. Great mix of both new and old stuff, and new songs like Sacred and Wheel of Time were ****ing amazing live. Super glad I sprung for the two tickets.

[Clift]

Just finished giving Insomnium's new album a whirl... Pretty ****ing wicked! :D But I am a bit of a fanboy. :p

Clean vocals are present again which I don't have a problem with. At the moment I'd probably rate it about equal with The Day It All Came Down (My No.1 album)... Definitely gets a thumbs up from me, but what would I know? :)

Middle of my mid sems. **** yeah though.

[Lazlow]

So i picked up the new Dragonforce album on Thursday.

****ing awesome album. It's more like Valley of the Damned and Sonic Firestorm, just down the line, meat & potatoes power metal played at near light speed.

And I'd have to say Marc Hudson is a better singer than ZP Theart. Such a range, so dynamic.

[enrique]

Went and saw Darkest Hour play in Melbourne last night. Glad I went, it was great to see them live.
