Damn, Amon Amarth is gonna be here in Toronto next week, but I'm gonna miss it. Kinda sucks too because they're playing their entire new album along with a few songs they rarely play live. Sall good though, I've seen them at least 5 times before. 
Oh, and The Black Dahlia Murder are gonna be here too for Summer Slaughter! I've always wanted to see them but I just dropped 167$ for Watch The Throne tics and don't think I can muster up any more money for concerts lol.
BOO.

The Neige/Drudkh collaboration. Or at least one track from it. It's fucking amazing.

I'm just going to say it; this album is insane.
I listened to it earlier today after some Heavy Metal hiatus.
Nearly broke my neck from all the headbanging.
Seriously, I couldn't lay still in bed.
I'm not ashamed of admitting it, when I listen to something I like I go crazy and airdrum/airguitar like a madman. ^^

Metal basically peaked with Reign in Blood. Everything since has generally been done or just refined.
I love Reign in Blood, but am I the only one that feels the mix is a bit off. I wish the vocals were a bit lower. I had a personal cd player with some settings where I could change it to "live" or something and for some reason that made the CD sound really badass compared to normal.

Although it is a great album, I still find it highly overrated. It's mostly filler material.
I prefer Hell Awaits and Haunting The Chapel ep which are listenable on repeat. I get tired listening to Reign In Blood after a few times.
Lists and world rankings out of tens and thousands of great CDs is pretty silly...but on the other hand (and speaking as a Megadeth fanboy) Rust in Peace won the best metal album of all time at BNRMetal in 2010:
http://www.bnrmetal.com/v3/tourney/status/2010
It seems pretty widely agreed that Master of Puppets, Reign of Blood and Rust in Peace are in the top 10 in most lists that have "mainstream" metal...(not all death metal)
This year's BNRMetal tournament is Death Metal, Death's Leprosy will probably win:
http://www.bnrmetal.com/v3/tourney/status/2011DM
Don't know what the heck Focus by Cynic is doing in the top 5 there, he should have left that out for a prog metal tournament.

^^ Haha, funny to see a list like that.
I'd place Entombed's "Left Hand Path" up there at like 95% and the rest going to Carcass' "Necroticism.
btw, I went and saw Thrones/Big Business/Torche last night. Thrones seen plenty of times and friend's house/studio. Big Business is always fun to watch, especially the drummer (Coady Willis). Their new material is pretty weak though. Torche completely lost it and is trying to become the new Foo Fighters. Their new shit is complete shit and lost all the quality of what Torche was awesome for. Although it was well worth waiting around for the last 15 minutes when they down tune for the "bomb string" and old material from the s/t and In Return ep.

thats what im saying. 8+ min. of repeating the same goddamn riff/chorus gets fuckin boring quick. Kill Em All will forever Metallica's magnum opus..I rate that album way fuckin higher than anything metallica has released since then.

I agree with this, though I'd also add Autopsy - Mental Funeral. And I have a hard time deciding between Necroticism and Symphonies of Sickness.Giant Robot said:
Did you check out the Skin Chamber tracks? They should be right up your alley if you like early Godflesh.

Wow talk about un-winnable matchups.
Also, Necroticism deserves the win by a nose.
Human is ten times the album Leprosy is.

Perhaps this isn't l33t enough for some, but Trivium's new record "In Waves" dropped today officially. I ordered my copy on Amazon already and listening to it now. Gotta support these guys. Seeing them with Dream Theater in NYC too. Life doesn't get better than a concert like that.
My body hasn't been more ready.

arrgghh, i totally forgot about Mental Funeral. One of my top death metal albums of all time.
I'll have to check out Skin Chamber. I mistaken your post for Skinlab so I just dismissed yet, haha.

Despite not being a fan of Trivium, somehow I've seen them three times (Download and in support of Maiden and another band). I've never quite understood the hype.
They've always struck me as average. Technically they are okay, but it feels like they are trying too hard.

These ones on top are more prog metal, but they have some of those elements. Very melodic:
Anubis Gate(Andromeda Unchained)
Seventh Wonder(Mercy Falls, Waiting in the Wings)
Circus Maximus(both albums)
Serenity(fallen sanctuary, death and legacy)
These are probably more geared to what you want however:
Symphony X(pretty much all of them, especially the ones before Paradise Lost)
Pyramaze - Legend of the Bone Carver
Shadow Gallery(Tyranny)

Why isn't Sadistik Exekution on that list!? Who could forget something like this?
I would change In Flames, Dark Tranquility and Cynic for Sadistik Exekution - Fukk, Acidental Suicide - Deceased and Convulse - World without god
If you want some more good industrial metal (since the good stuff is pretty rare) I'd also recommend Dead World.
Warhammer
Dead World
Incorporeal Nemesis

Haha, I was afraid that someone would misstaken them for Skinlab or Choal Chamber.Giant Robot said:

This tournament is weird all aroundGaspode_T said:
Sepultura Arise (4) def. Led Zeppelin 4 (13), 51% to 49%
Putting aside LZ being in The Best >Metal< Album of All Time, seriously?
Depends on your taste, I'd say that besides ANatO and ATitM they are fantastic all-aroundVerano said:

I finally got around to checking out Septic Flesh after reading the impressions in here months ago. I love their newest album. Should I listen to Communion next?

+1. Rust in Peace remains my favorite album of all time even all these years later. Five Magics is beyond awesome.
