Demolition Hammer - Epidemic of Violence

Found on the rather poignant Essential Thrash Albums over at The Gauntlet.

EDIT:

Also, does anyone here blog about metal? I know some have talked about starting such a thing.

I started working on mine over spring break but then landed a paid internship which I've had to devote my free time to instead. I'm going to be studying abroad in the Fall semester, and I have a decently sized group of people who will be following that, so my plan is to get a bunch of content written for my metal blog over the summer and then launch the two blogs simultaneously at the end of August for cross-pollination of audiences. I can have a lot of material in the pipes so I can provide frequent updates, since I'm sure I won't be staying in and writing on my laptop much while I'm on a four month Euro trip.

I thought I liked newer Iced Earth material, but man, this reminds me how much I miss old Iced Earth :(

This album! Also, let me point out how attractive this cover is. Bright colors, hard comic-character edges, ferocious bitches... and what do we get now? Suicide Silence's chicken scratch logo on a diarrhea splotch. If you walk by a CD rack of bands you've never heard of, the cover art is supposed to draw your attention. I have to give credit to John Baizley of Baroness for painting beautiful covers for his own and other bands.

The Gauntlet posted an Essential Death Metal list. That site's becoming my go-to metal site. MetalSucks is alright but they rarely cover the tr00 shit.

Oh wow...the collector's editions of Storm Corrosion album is sold out.

With the crappy shipping they limit us too, they should send it today, so it would get here on the 8th.

Remember when Southern Lord did the promotion where if you ordered Sleep merch at 4:20 on 4/20 then you got a special gift?

Well, that special gift is a very limited t-shirt....

The shirt says DOPESMOKER 4:20 if it's hard to read. I shrunk it 50% from the e-mail.

How the hell did your order get mailed? I thought they weren't shipping until the first week of June?!

^^^ Luck you then.

Wasn't aware that Torche put out a new album and signed with Volcom?!? The fuck?!
Listened to whatever new song they put up and now I'm going to completely bail on them. Sucks because they used to be so fucking good.

I was never into metal until I discovered Mastodon a few months ago and I realized there must be a niche here for me. The Hunter got me into them, but Leviathan and Crack the Skye are the records that really impressed me.
Been recommended Baroness, love them too. Looking forward to their new album.

So, metal-gaf, are there other bands I should give a chance now? I'm really looking for more records like Leviathan : fast paced, with a ton of great riffs.

Ok....some of that isn't exactly sludge, like Sleep is stoner metal....but you should like it.

Also, I threw in a couple of slower bands in there, but still great riffs.

I'm not that familiar with Mastadon really, but you said fast paced with tons of great riffs.

Check out Allegaeon.

And I'm so out of touch, I just checked and they have a new album out tomorrow, how god damn awesome is that. Surprise release!

Hey they are blue collar metal...I have an affinity for those underdog bands, Chimaira too...the guitar player is pretty good (Doc), he should at least check out some metal core because it is what is the most popular w kids these days...Trivium etc

As mentioned a few posts ago, this album is now out.

Their debut surprised the hell out of me, and I absolutely love it. It's that thrashy melo death vibe, just constant ass kicking metal. Had no idea the new album was out, so it's a surprise release, and I'm loving what I'm hearing so far.

How exactly do you go about ordering it at exactly 4:20? Just checkout at 4:20 or add it to your cart at 4:20? Actually, is there a clock they go by or something? I guess the OS clock is good enough?

I don't really like time released things, but I'm going to bite on this.
Click to expand...

Use the OS clock and click Submit Order at any time during the 4:20 minute.
