April 26, 20196 yr This album is more modern and a bit commercial. Still dont know what to think of it yet. I played some WT for friends once and got absolutely skewered. What sayeth the Surl?

Used to have a predominantly desk job where the guy that sat behind me played some Evanescence CD on a loop, not loud but audible. I hated that job. but not as much as I hate Evanescence.
April 26, 20196 yr I think everyone who listens to within temptation for the first time compares thek to Evanescence and I'm no exception. And since the new album is poppy, I would expect that comparison a bit more. Check out some of their other material too.
April 26, 20196 yr saw these guys last night and it was extremely good. if you like Sleep you should check them out. one of the loudest shows I've ever attended.
May 2, 20196 yr Author I am a big Sepultura fan and long ago wrote of Soulfly as pretty awful. I just checked out their most recent album Ritual and it is pretty fucking great. In fact it sounds like a lost Sepultura album.

May 3, 20196 yr Author Thought that first Cavalera conspiracy disc was solid.I thought both were pretty good with a coupleOf tracks on each being really great (like Sanctuary).
May 5, 20196 yr In what universe does Parkway Drive take top billing over Killswitch Engage? Bought a last minute ticket as I was leaving a music festival thinking I’d catch the whole KSE set and saw exactly three songs.
May 13, 20196 yr On 2/27/2019 at 10:30 PM, Buzzrock said: Megadeth is better than Metallica. Change my mind. In terms of musicianship and things off that sort, Megadeth has always been superior. But Metallica was more successful for a couple reasons. First of all, they were the first thrash band, so they were at the head of the pack. 2nd, despite James having a limited vocal range and such, his vocal style was just plain enjoyable. No one ever says "I like Metallica's music but hate the singer". Sometimes Dave's voice turns people off. And third, Metallica's big accomplishment (was) outstanding songwriting, and for the first few albums, progressing.
May 17, 20196 yr Stoner Rock/Metal which has probably already been put in here. Saw this band open for Elder last year. They have a newer (2018) one out, but digging this one lately:
May 24, 20196 yr Seeing Refused tonight. After seeing the Comeback Kid and the Bronx a couple weeks ago, May is shaping up nicely for shows.
May 29, 20196 yr Saw Judas Priest last night at Moody. It absolutely rocked but thought theor opening act, Uriah Heep was better. Never heard of them but those old dudes still got it.
June 20, 20196 yr SIAP, but just got around to listening to Dream Theater's newest album that came out back in February. One of their best in a long while. Me gusta.
June 22, 20196 yr Didn't see this posted anywhere. If you like pinch harmonics then this is your Freebird:
June 22, 20196 yr Lol. ok, that's a little ridiculous. Edit: also, A+ for the silly video Edited June 22, 20196 yr by Biff Tannen
June 24, 20196 yr New Darkthrone is dope Also I've been digging this band lately. Don't know how to describe them.
June 25, 20196 yr Maybe not heavy enough for this thread, but certainly not pop. Saw them Saturday at Hotel Vegas. Hell of a set, live. Drummer is fantastic. They apparently opened for Sleep somewhat recently as well. Edited June 25, 20196 yr by MC Fresh Breath
June 26, 20196 yr Anyone catch Mastodon’s Crack the Skye anniversary set on this tour? It may have been the best I’ve ever heard them live.
June 26, 20196 yr I'm posting from the Mastodon/Coheed & Cambria show. My son is a huge Mastodon fan so I got us tickets. They just got done playing their set and they sounded so fucking good. C&C are up next.

June 26, 20196 yr 16 minutes ago, ajax said: WTF, are you here too? Negative. I caught them a few days ago and have been slow to ask here. Their performance was next level.
June 26, 20196 yr Coheed is good. However Mastodon was a juggernaut. They should be closing this show.
June 26, 20196 yr I saw the Crack the Skye tour and it was epic. Cool that they are rolling out those songs again.
June 26, 20196 yr Maybe not heavy enough for this thread, but certainly not pop. Saw them Saturday at Hotel Vegas. Hell of a set, live. Drummer is fantastic. They apparently opened for Sleep somewhat recently as well. I don’t know much about them, I think I learned about them from a Mastodon interview on Spotify. But I love this song: It’s definitely heavy.
June 26, 20196 yr Guess who's back with another new album? Doesn't have the wow factor of Rotting in vain, but it's a decent track. This album was sooner than I expected after Jon Davis released a solo album last year touring extensively to promote it along with the death of his wife.
June 26, 20196 yr for those in austin, there are quite a few sub $20 reserved tickets on stubhub for the mastodon show on tuesday.
June 26, 20196 yr Author The world doesn’t need another korn album. I am pretty sure the world didn’t need any korn album to begin with. Sorry about dude’s wife, but for the most part his vocals are just terrible.
June 26, 20196 yr Any Deafheaven fans in this thread? I had tickets to see them but came down with strep throat in college. Still pissed about it.

Deafheaven rules, although I actually prefer New Bermuda and Ordinary Corrupt Human Love to Sunbather. All three are great, though.

June 26, 20196 yr You either love Korn or you hate them there's no in-between, we all have our own unique tastes and Metal has countless sub genres. Korn was the only metal band to ever experience any consistent success on the boy band/pop artist/hip hop dominated TRL and enjoyed so much success to the extent that the MTV execs had to invent a rule that required a song be retired after so many weeks on the countdown to get them off the air so they could push their marketable music down your throat. Long live Nu Metal!
