I am really digging on Coven's first record. And what a fabulous title -- "Witchcraft Destroys Minds and Reaps Souls."

It's a great album, eventhough some of the material is a bit so-so. BTW, I've got the vocalist Jinx as a FB friend, I don't know her personally though, and I find it cool that she seems to be into the same stuff, even after fifty years.

I noticed that she has a pretty expansive mail order for old Coven merch. Do you think she still sings? She had a great voice.

I dunno, but she tends to post a lot of those merchandise links, and Coven/occult related material in general.

Lombardo got slayed by Kerry.

Kinda reminds me of Symphorce (who aren't quite as speedy, more melodic with a slightly raspy high register singer) a tad bit I think, Power Metal isn't a main point of interest for me

Twice Second
Fun fact, the opening of this song/album uses the same whale sounds sample that Katatonia used in the song Deadhouse.

I'm giving that a listen right now. I can see how Jens would remind you of this singer, he almost sounds like a calmer version of Jens at times. Definitely a competent band.

For me, power metal has only grown on me since I first heard Kamelot ~10 years ago.

If you crave more Jens he's also on the first two Dark Empire albums.

This is pretty cool, it was posted on Insomnium's facebook:

http://suvilehto.bandcamp.com/

All instruments by one guy under 20 years old.

No idea he had been in another band. Thanks for telling me.

I dug their stuff, a shame the second Savage Circus album is terrible compared to their great debut.

And Jens sounds nearly identical to Hansi Kursch, just a little grittier

Yeah I see that comparison being made on most videos with Persuader/Savage Circus. Hansi is a pleasure to listen to as well.

And I actually prefer Persuader overall compared to Savage Circus. It saddens me that they never got any real recognition across the world.

 

[HammerOfThor]

Man, Spotify is the best. I've discovered so many new bands thru them. I just find a band I like, click on a random band under Related Artists, and see if I like them, then continue. I just found a fund metal band called Iron Mask. Neo-classical fun.

Edit: Just found another fun neo-classical/power metal band called Steel Attack.

This is fun!

Lombardo got slayed by Kerry.

I have always disliked kerry. I could never figure out where the dude gets his ego from. Hes a painfully sub mediocre player and just an all around miserable human being.

 

[The_Squirrel_Menace]

Just picked up my ticket to go see Gojira in april.

I fuckin' can't wait.

Last time I saw them was for their Mars to Sirius album few years ago it was already intense.




Also bought my 3 day pass for the 2013 Hellfest. http://www.hellfest.fr/index.php

I have always disliked kerry. I could never figure out where the dude gets his ego from. Hes a painfully sub mediocre player and just an all around miserable human being.

My thoughts exactly. Hanneman has written 99% of all the good Slayer songs. And then Kerry King likes to jump on them a fuck them up with his baffling, incoherent solos.

Tonight, February 22, friends of mine are arranging a streamed gig, which might interest some of you.

[Ravager61]

So I ordered the Vlad Tepes/Belketre split album on vinyl and it just showed up today. Vinyl packaging for black metal is so great, especially for these LLN bands. It's so over the top.

Huge essay on the inside. I couldn't get a non-blurry pic with my phone so it could be read. It's basically just a long rant about the rules of black metal, satanism, poseurs, and how people suck and should die.

Other side of the gatefold:

Back with more amazing quotes:

Oh, the album itself is great too.

 

[ShaneB]

I have always disliked kerry. I could never figure out where the dude gets his ego from. Hes a painfully sub mediocre player and just an all around miserable human being.

I was never a big Slayer fan, so I was always baffled at any attention Kerry King got, he's fucking awful.

 

[RDreamer]

The new Soilwork is pretty awesome. I've been listening the past two days, and it's pretty astounding how inspired they must have been to do a double album despite losing their big songwriters.

Also, this In Flames medley is great

Also live Hanneman was always better whenever I saw them.

Im certainly not disagreeing with you. Its been a long time since i cared about Slayer.

They are currently working on the followup to this album. I hope it is out this year. I saw them last year at Maryland Deathfest and they are as good live as they are in recording.

there was a better version somewhere once, but it's still awesome.

I've been following that page since you posted them a while back. Lots of Entombed and Ipetigo worship lately. So fucking awesome.

What the hell was this Dissection Maha Kali? I couldn't get into Reinkaos at all, but loved the first two albums. Somberlain is right up there with Storm of the Light's Bane.

I just gave the "like" to those pages too and was also surprised to see Impetigo because it's a band that was all the rage when I started to listen to death metal but somehow I completely forgot about them. Listening to them right now to amend the mistake.

Yeah, those two pages are great sources for old metal pics, and I was pleased to see those Impetigo shots as well.

EDIT: I dunno, I haven't really listened to their material after SofLB that much.

I don't know it's just this one song I'm crazy about + strangely enough it was what got me into dissection in the first place so I guess that's that. no offense

 

[forknknife]

It's ok, trab, although I also had never heard that Dissection album and I am kind of shocked they went that route with their sound, had no idea.


Can you guys recommend any bands in the vein of Winter? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aifCCIBOnxg

I'm not even into the album, just the song.
the lyrics are kinda cool and I like the indian singing

Yeah, but it's also weird to hear them sing about hindu goddesses. They should be singing about snow, the moon and frozen lakes

regarding jon's personal views and opinions it actually makes a whole lot of sense that they sing about kali

besides the obvious Celtic Frost influence:
Cianide
Thergothon
first Cathedral album

Not as slow or lo-fi as Winter, but:
Grief
Noothgrush
Thorr's Hammer

I actually got to see Winter last year in SF. Sounded EXACTLY like the album, haha, but it was a good show. Noothgrush played on the same bill as well.

I thought the guy maybe pulled a "Ray Cappo" and turned to Hinduism in prison or something. Found this interview that explains a bit. http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=57028

Yeah, I saw Winter last year at Roadburn and was one of the best shows of the festival that year. The sound and execution of the songs were just perfect, it really sounded like the recorded versions, I had the same impression as you.

And thanks for the recommendations. I will check Cianide and Thergothon, never heard them.

Sucks. They are playing Resurrection Fest which is hc festival close to my hometown which I always attend but this year it's going to be difficult for me to go. But the line up this year kind of sucks anyway (too much modern metalcore for my liking) so aside from Integrity it's not much of a loss, actually.

[TheLastCandle]

The new Stratovarius album is fucking insanely good.

Pretty fucking wild how good this band has gotten after all the drama with Tolkki and his subsequent exit. Polaris, Elysium, and now Nemesis are all rock solid as hell.
