Vocals sound like torsofuck.
Heh, I'm familiar with Obscura
a little too hectic for my tastes, but still crazy stuff. I was just more impressed with an awesome Death cover of one of my favourite tunes.FelixOrion

Kekal dropped three little pieces of info today.
1. Their 10th full-length album will be 2015.
2. The released a little 5 track EP by surprise today, for free, limited to 1000 free downloads.
3. An additional EP is likely in 2014.
http://kekal.bandcamp.com/album/unsung-division-ep
Downloading now and haven't had a chance to really listen to it, but it's a bit more electronic than metal, but Kekal has been in such a weird sonic spot for a long time. Kekal can be kinda hit or miss, especially recently, but I thought metalGAF might have some interest in it.

Just had my first listen of it. Apparently they decided that they would release these songs like this because they just didn't fit with the supposed more classic "guitar and riff" that is going to be on the 10th album. And I can see that. The tracks are very electronic, noisy and almost reminiscent of the Portal 2 soundtrack. Kinda an odd listen, honestly, but I can see where some interest my lie for some people.

If you have a chance, go and see them
Kai Hansen stole the evening - very positive attitude, great contact with crowd - much better than Andi Deris.

Details of this year's Scion Rock Fest in Memphis, TN on June 1st are starting to show up......I think the headliner is Testament. Never thought I'd see Testament, Melvins and Municipal Waste headline the same bill.....talk about a mix of styles.
Edit: I guess it's not too far of a stretch....but still an odd pairing.

Vision of Disorder... they used to be one of my favorite bands growing up. Their first 2 records, VOD and Imprint, are amazing but what I heard of them afterwards is kind of meh.

Well I started with intention of making fun of the band for their name but they are actually really awesome.
Still a dumb name though. And that lineup kind of sucks so far.

Here is a weird Hank III song written by Mike IX Williams (Eyehategod) for an Eyehategod tribute album where III was credited as The Unholy 3.

So I've been obsessed with the last verse of Iced Earth's Declaration Day.
Gimme some more songs where entire verses(or the entire songs) are sung in a high voice like that. King Diamond aside.

So every year I go to an independent roots/country/blues/bluegrass/punk festival and this year they've booked Scott Kelly's solo act but now it has changed into something even better (and somewhat unique). Scott Kelly is no longer solo and will have a band of sorts with him:
Scott Kelly and The Road Home featuring Mike IX Williams:
Scott Kelly (Neurosis), Noah Landis (Neurosis), Greg Dales, & Mike IX Williams (Eye Hate God/Arson Anthem)
That is going to be some kind of awesome. Also, the reunited Black Flag is headlining one of the three nights.

Can't say I'm super excited for this at all. Their last album really rubbed e the wrong way. A lot of this mainstream metal is being made is really... I dunno, weird ways I guess. I'll be curious to hear some samples.

It would be so awesome for a new Bodom album to be good. Blooddrunk was awful and RRF was just meh.
Interesting! I look forward to seeing what comes out of this.

I must have it. Need full tour dates NOW.
Iced Earth's own Dracula is kind of like this once it gets going.

It is worth every cent. Ringing in my right ear died today
Songs from Straight out of Hell are awesome live. Waiting for the thunder probably stands out. Two songs were quite bad - too long drum solo and Hold me in your Arms (cheesy as fuck). But still, Gamma Ray blew me away, Kai Hansen is just incredible.forknknife

oh shit, I thought those vocals sounded familiar. Bruce Corbitt! R.I.P.
The recording does sound very clean and probably had some post studio work done.
There was also some debate about Judas Priest - Unleashed In The East album as being a real live album or not: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OHJP1BSVgM

So I don't know if you guys are fans of Austrian Death Machine at all, but they're working on their third album, Triple Brutal, and crowd funding it.
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/triple-brutal-austrian-death-machine-a-makes-new-record-and-tour
And to top if off, instead of using Arnold impersonators like the other albums they are getting the REAL Arnold Schwarzenegger!

ADM are ok. Awesome that real Arnold might be working with them, hahah.
You should check out Arnocorps. I think they do it better and way fun live. They have a midget for a drummer for Christ's sake

Truth be told, I kinda think ADM do it better than Arnocorps, but hey not bad.
And yeah, if they get the real arnold for this one, it's be crazy, lol

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
It's everything I expected and more. So fucking good.

Is there any band like Cynic? Dat Technical death metal with feeling.
Besides Death, Opeth, Atheist, Obscura and Control Denied.
Nile, Dying Fetus and Necrophagist comes close... but I want more.

Psycroptic, Anata, Spawn of Possession (mostly Incurso), Decrepit Birth, Gorguts.
Aside from your post, I think that's all the tech-death I listen to.

Cynic type stuff:
The Cynic clone Exivious. 2 members are actually in Cynic now.
Exivious - Ripple of a Tear
Neglected Fields' first album "Synthinity" for sure.
Neglected Fields - Living Structures
Atrocity was fucking killer for the first 2 albums, then went all weird.
Atrocity - Godless Years
Martyr was cool. Has some relation to that other band Capharnaum.
Martyr - Virtual Emotions
Brutal stuff:
Cryptopsy - Phobophile
Kataklysm - Mould In A Breed
Aurora Borealis - Thrice Told. I highly recommend this gem. It's a 2 man band with Derek Roddy on drums.
Aurora Borealis - Sky Burial

2:21 forward is the most heavy piece of music I ever heard.

Boman will be providing backing vocals on the lower end of the spectrum, obviously.
We're still thinking about whether to invite some other Finnish vocalists of the old days. There's a definite old Carcass/Napalm Death/Terrorizer/Autopsy feel in the material, and there'll be slower sections as well, but we try to keep the songs relatively short. Dunno about the recording and release dates at this point, as I'm at the moment concentrating more on the new Black Dawn album.On a side note...

I am extremely looking forward to this. Every once in a while there will be bands to look forward to because they know what they're doing/talking about and this sounds like one of them. I hope this goes well for you and the rest.

Nice to hear that. Of course it's always a matter of perception, whether the material sounds like the golden oldies to everyone's ears, but I hope we manage to convey a similar atmosphere. The idea is not to copy anything, but to pay tribute to those old albums we grew up with. One mini-album, and possibly one gig, and that's it for the project.
Giant Robot

Yup, i don't expect a complete clone or anything, but the fact that it pays tribute or nods to the old sounds/band is very respectable.
On a side note...
Holy balls that last line... Okayyy.
