March 25, 20187 yr Let’s get this one started. Except I am mobile and need to figure out how to embed video. Been listening to a ton of Converge and Whores for the past 6 months. Just seem to scratch that itch.
March 26, 20187 yr RIGHT ... So... As I was saying, it appears that Judas Priest has a new album this month. And it's really, really good. Halford still hitting the high notes like he was a third of his current actual age. Blows my mind. The guy's old enough to be a grandfather. But kicking serious ass.

March 26, 20187 yr Who remembers Howard Jones from Killswitch Engage? He has a new project, sounds good.
March 26, 20187 yr I'm one of those KSE fans who really liked Howard. Glad he's back at it. Edited March 26, 20187 yr by Buzzrock
March 27, 20187 yr I thought he knocked up a porn star. For real. Then again I don’t know why that would make him quit the band.

March 27, 20187 yr I'm not gonna lie. I kinda miss As I Lay Dying. Why'd that asshole have to hire a hitman?

March 30, 20187 yr Damn, Caleb Scofield died in a car accident (Cave In/Old Man Gloom basist). He was only 38.

March 31, 20187 yr I don't know which is funnier; that you think I didn't know, or that you think any of them are as good.
April 1, 20187 yr Hot take:Rust in Peace is better than any single album Metallica ever made.Horrible, this take is.
April 1, 20187 yr I mean, Master of Puppets comes close, and the title track is possibly by itself better than any single track off Rust. But overall? No. Not better.
April 1, 20187 yr RIP is epic and that one two punch of tracks one and two may be better than any two back to back Metallica songs. And Megadeth has continued to put out great music long after Metallica started to suck. But I don’t think I can get on board with that hot take.

RIP is epic and that one two punch of tracks one and two may be better than any two back to back Metallica songs. And Megadeth has continued to put out great music long after Metallica started to suck. But I don’t think I can get on board with that hot take.Battery and MoP is tough to beat but I can also recognize how great the first two tracks of RIP are. I can't argue that Megadeth has continued to put out quality stuff (particularly The System Has Failed and United Abominations) but they also made some clunkers.'tallica vs. 'deth is a tough question. Megadeth has been more prolific for sure and when you consider things like Lulu and St. Anger it is easy to shrug Metallica off. But nothing can erase the impressions Puppets and Justice made on my adolescence.
April 4, 20187 yr No problem with any of that. And Metallica has continued to bring it live for decades.
April 9, 20187 yr Saw Sleep @ The Waiting Room in Omaha on Saturday night. Set list; 1.Dopesmoker 2. Holy Mountain 3. The Clarity 4. Dragonaout 5. From Beyond 6. Cultivator/Improved Morris Was fucking fantastic. Before they take the stage they start with like 15 minutes of radio chatter from the Apollo 11 mission culminating with "the eagle has landed" and then Matt Pike started in on Dopesmoker. So good...

That sounds bad ass. Too bad they aren’t coming through Houston (or maybe I missed it). Looks like Melvin’s will be here in May. The Whores show was awesome. Turned me onto this band from KC called Bummer. Really digging their stuff. Kind of remind me of KARP. I took a few photos that I posted in the photography thread in “hobbies”.
April 9, 20187 yr I'll have to Keep Bummer on my radar. I'm sure they'll be in Omaha if their home base is KC. Yeah, Melvins are coming through here too.
April 11, 20187 yr Author Holy shit...just finding out about this band out of Seattle called Helms Alee. Wow, I am really digging their stuff. And since I am late to the game, there is a lot to listen to. Unfortunately, I can’t find a few of my favorite tracks on YouTube to post, but their bandcamp has them all. I suggest tracks 8 and 11 off their latest “Stillicide”. https://helmsalee.bandcamp.com Here is one from another album:
April 13, 20187 yr 4 hours ago, Storm the Field said: New Ghost single out today. Album coming June 1. https://youtu.be/C_ijc7A5oAc So that's the new lead singer huh? Looks like Thriller meets Singin' In The Rain. I dig the song.

April 15, 20187 yr New Ghost is fucking badass and so is the video and they are the most important band in the world now, having taken the mantle from Mastodon right after they put out Crack the Skye.Word my brother. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
April 17, 20187 yr Saw some Incantation-inspired death metal last week. I highly recommend a band called Spectral Voice, from Denver. They played a 45-minute set of absolutely crushing death with no pauses between songs, and sans lights. Let's say it was dark, literally and metaphorically. A local band, Encoffination, opened. Good stuff all around.
April 18, 20187 yr Well, yeah, it's still Tobias Forge, but the new character is "Cardinal Copia"That’s the joke dot gif
April 18, 20187 yr I refuse to click on that link for BFMV because those guys look so stupid.I like some of their stuff. And will see them next weekend at Rockville. But yeah.

April 20, 20187 yr What the fuck happened to Godsmack? It's like they're not even trying any longer. I don't know what their aim is to become the next Nickelback or what? Change isn't always a necessarily a bad thing and I enjoyed Sully's Avalon solo project but this is crud.
April 21, 20187 yr Author Godsmack has always, always been shit. This. They are to metal what bro country is to country music. Just awful. Sorry.
April 21, 20187 yr I'm pretty sure I haven't thought about that band in like 20 years.Godsmack has always, always been shit. This. They are to metal what bro country is to country music. Just awful. Sorry. I’m seeing them next weekend. Can’t wait.
April 21, 20187 yr Author I’m seeing them next weekend. Can’t wait. I don’t have a problem with you digging them and going to see them. I might make a dumb joke, but people should like what they like.
