I'll check it out. I like Slough Feg. Before clicking the link I had no idea Crescent Shield had a second album coming out yet. If you like Slough Feg you should check them out as well. Their album is streaming as well.

sooooo would if I could. Currently listening to the new Vanna very regularly, and saw them in Hartford a couple weeks ago, most fun ive had at a show besides Coheed.

Im not a genre king, but I think what I just sampled on their myspace is pretty metal and rock sounding, his vocals are cool. I dug it
I didn't see this mentioned so...
Website's up. http://www.cainsoffering.com/
They're being managed by Intromental which makes the band a very good possibility for a future Progpower USA.

Might as well post it here too..
Can't stop spinning this album!! It's so awesome!
If you love blind guardian (nightfall middle earth), you'll love this! It's a bit thrashier than BG, but it's good; choruses, vocals, and all that speed/power metal shit in between!
Here's a sample:
Persuader- Turn To Dust
Best fuckin song overall!

Anyone else going to Paganfest? I can't wait. I got my tickets for the Springfield date today. I'm a fan of Persuader. Evolution Purgatory is the only one I've heard. It's a shame Jens quit Dark Empire. I liked their first album.

Yeah, I didn't feel this on the first listen. It seemed kinda bland and "poppy" compared to their past stuff.

I don't think I've heard any Goatwhore. I listened to like 2 Lazarus A.D. songs and they sounded pretty good. But yeah, Amon Amarth is what I'm going for and Skeletonwtich is icing on the cake. They could just play Within My Blood and I'd be content.XShagrath said:

I'M COOCOO FOR COCO CRISP!
Anyone listen to Manatees Icarus, The Sunclimber? Somewhere along the lines of sludge/doom/post-metal. I've been kinda lukewarm on this type of stuff recently, but this album is just so fucking heavy.

I agree. I was all about modern sludge a couple years ago but it's all just been so overdone. Everyone jumped on the bandwagon and most ended up falling off.Dr. Strangelove said:

Ok so the Amon Amarth concert was so fucking badass.
If you have the chance to see Skeletonwitch, go. Their vocalist has some of the best stage presence I've ever seen. He's insane, jumping off of everything like the bass drum and amps and acting out lyrics. I kind of felt bad for the others because I couldn't take my eyes off of him. They played 9 of the 12 songs from Beyond The Permafrost and a brand new song from their upcoming album. I even got their setlist that was on the back of a poster, but it ripped when he was taking it off the amp so it just says "KELETONWITCH" on the front.
Amon Amarth was also incredible. All four of them windmill headbanging in unison was amazing. They played for about an hour and a half and played at least one song from every album except The Crusher. The backdrop was a giant picture of the artwork from Twilight Of The Thunder God and there were 2 giant shields with A's on them. Not much else to say, just an amazing show.
Goatwhore was pretty cool, they sounded like Behemoth mixed with Pantera maybe?
Lazarus A.D. were ok, if a bit generic and the guitarists pick bounced off of my head when he threw it. :lol
I was also next to Mr. 50 year old gray-haired man who did nothing but use his digital camera to take 10 pictures per song of every single band. Annoying and distracting, not sure why he bothered to go if he was going to take pictures the whole time. I can understand taking a few with your cell phone (I took 6 of AA and 8 of Skeletonwitch, but my cell phone camera is crap) but this was ridiculous. Then there's the guy who has long hair and headbangs getting it all up in your face, but I can understand that. Still pretty annoying.
Here's probably the least sucky picture of Johann:

I wonder why they have such an aversion to that album. One of their best discs, in my opinion. They'll occasionally play Bleed For Ancient Gods or Victorious March from The Avenger and Once Sent from Golden Hall. But the half dozen stunning tracks from The Crusher never get played live. I hope they at least dust off A Fury Divine for their next tour.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Yep they played both of those songs.
Here's what they played, if I can remember correctly:
Twilight Of The Thunder God
Asator
Guardians Of Asgaard
Death In Fire
Under The Northern Star
Free Will Sacrifice
Fate Of Norns
Victorious March
Bleed For The Ancient Gods
For The Stabwounds In Our Back
Runes To My Memory
Cry Of The Blackbirds
The Pursuit Of Vikings
Maybe a couple others that I'm forgetting, but that's most of it.

I saw Anal Cunt a couple days ago and have a new found lack of respect for them
I hope Quo Vadis comes out with something new this year. Day Into Night is still one of my all time favourite albums.
If you have never heard Quo Vadis before check them out!
French-Canadian metal at its best!

Just wanted to pop in and say thanks to all the posters in this thread for introducing me to a lot of music I probably never would have heard otherwise. Though I can't say I like most of it once the vocals start (similar to the other guy a few pages back, for me, the death grunts, raspy voice screaming has to pretty much be absent), the non vocals are pretty amazing for most of the bands and since the thread does pretty much cover the entire metal spectrum it probably wouldn't be much of a stretch to say that any reader could find at least one band/subgenre they enjoy.

That's cool man, a lot of people can't stand harsh vocals at first but learn to enjoy them later. It's a process.
Enjoy some non-extreme metal!
