I cannot wait for this. I will probably buy this as soon as I get into this years MDF. Last year was probably the best set of shows I have ever seen. A lot of footage and full sets are already available on youtube so I am curious what they have in store for this.

A new Godflesh, Carcass, !T.O.O.H.! and Summoning this year? Sweet jesus! And hell yes for a Streetcleaner sound!
Click to expand...

It's nice that it might be reminiscent of streetcleaner but, personally, Hymns is one of my favourite Godflesh albums and I would have no problem if it would kind of expand on that either.

FUCK, so good.

EDIT: lol at Paramore, although to me it sounds kind of late isis-ish

That's super Post-Rock-ish. Is that the direction they're going for now? It's very Mono, Godspeed You Black Emperor like. Totally unexpected from Paramore, haha.

I had to go check out the album just to find that out lol. Somebody had put up the whole album on youtube so I skipped throught it and it was probably pretty much basic Paramore (I've only heard a couple of songs so I can't really tell) except for that song which was the last song on the album. It definitely didn't fit in with the rest of the album which was pretty poppy, I guess they're trying to experiment but it seemed really out of place. Also they're pretty damn late on the post rock trend.

And in the Paramore thread the fans all seem to hate it lol

Ugh, Mustaine...why on earth get him of all singers. Fuck, ask you buddy Hetfield, you want to work with him again so bad.

Either way, I'm looking forward to hearing the new album. Mustaine is genrally good when it comes to guest singers. A Tout Le Monde was pretty fantastic(I think that is the only one he ever had a guest singer on?).

I don't really mind some Disturbed, just poking fun.

Necrophobic is an awesome band.

some of the ridiculous Bodom cover songs are really enjoyable tonight. Just worked 9am-12:30 am at two jobs. Kinda fun to come home, sip a whiskey and listen to Bodom's banjo crazy cover of "Lookin Out My Back Door".

Love that band so fucking much.

Been listening to Avantasias new album a bunch of times now. Not as good as Wicked Symphony, but it is up there, for sure. And for once the ballads on it are good too. Usually when it comes to Sammets ballads, you get bored to death, I think, but this time (especially the one with Eric Martin from Mr. Big) they work: What's left of me (feat. Eric Martin)

Best song, for the time being is Saviour in the clockwork (feat. Michael Kiske, Joe Lynn Turner, Biff Byford)
Click to expand...

I'm in the minority amongst my metalhead friends when it comes to Avantasia. I actually think I may prefer the post Metal Opera stuff to those two respective albums. As such, I really like The Mystery of Time, while I definitely agree it's no Wicked Symphony (which is one of my favorite albums ever). The ballad with Eric Martin KILLS it, and Savior in the Clockwork along with Dweller in a Dream are my faves off of it. Great stuff, Tobi never fails me.

That Maiden show with the insane lineup is giving me rage filled bouts of jealousy. Looks like such a great event.

Oh it's a movie... thought it was the lineup. I was confused why Nasum was on the bill. The text is ridiculously hard to read.

Kylesa "Vulture's Landing" new song

http://loudwire.com/kylesa-vultures-landing-exclusive-song-premiere/

Where's my harsh vocals? Goddamn it.
Click to expand...

Yeah fuck :/ I love Laura's shouting vocals but it looks like there won't be any on this album. Phillip could open his mouth too... I don't know, the new album could still be good but it almost sounds like a side project or something so it'll take some getting used to.

All my favorites have changed or are changing their style and sound to something that is imo worse than before, I know everyone hates people who whine about that but I can't help it lol. What they all have in common is ditching the harsh vocals for clean vocals and often it doesn't work and it affects everything badly. Suddenly I find myself not buying my favorites' cds anymore (yeah I still do that) or not interested in seeing them live since I know they won't play the old songs anymore. Ah well, at least Kylesa's new album can't be anywhere near as bad as Mastodon's latest since from what I can tell by these new songs is that at least the music is interesting even if it isn't exactly what I'd hope to hear from them. They could still pleasantly surprise me.

I agree, Celestial Lineage showed a lot of promise after they stumbled a bit with Black Cascade (imo); but I believe they are currently on hiatus, aren't they?

Glad I saw them live last year in Vancouver, it was super awesome.

I saw them in Tallahassee, FL in 2011. They got through about 4 songs (most of their set actually) before their PA system blew a fuse in the building and the ceiling fan came down from the ceiling. Needless to say, the show was over.

I was just looking at the concept for Mastodon's Crack The Skye for the first time in a while.....that story is probably one of the better metal concept albums we've seen in a long time.

"There is a paraplegic and the only way that he can go anywhere is if he astral travels. He goes out of his body, into outer space and a bit like Icarus, he goes too close to the sun, burning off the golden umbilical cord that is attached to his solar plexus. So he is in outer space and he is lost, he gets sucked into a wormhole, he ends up in the spirit realm and he talks to spirits telling them that he is not really dead. So they send him to the Russian cult, they use him in a divination and they find out his problem. They decide they are going to help him. They put his soul inside Rasputin's body. Rasputin goes to usurp the czar and he is murdered. The two souls fly out of Rasputin's body through the crack in the sky(e) and Rasputin is the wise man that is trying to lead the child home to his body because his parents have discovered him by now and think that he is dead. Rasputin needs to get him back into his body before it's too late. But they end up running into the Devil along the way and the Devil tries to steal their souls and bring them down…there are some obstacles along the way."
