Actually face's hatred of opeth makes me like him more.
Just like Opeth then.

Funny, I keep hearing about how obnoxious Opeth fans are. Guess GAF bucks the trend.

Struggling to see Opeth in that line-up...
Agreed.

oh, it goes beyond that line-up.
that sentence is the epitome of why most people tend to dislike Opeth fans, it's such a cuntish, dipshit, disrespectful thing to say that it blows my mind. disgusting "you don't like what i like so what you like blows" mantra.
we could fill a 50 posts page with dancing gifs that it wouldn't even come close to that.
fuck, i didn't even mind Opeth fans before but know i see why, and support, FACE's agressiveness towards them.
no it's not unhealthy. you can't show up and say "you don't like that? boy, i feel sorry for you". that ain't how things work.
Only if we agree that Opeth isn't metal and shouldn't be discussed within the confines of this thread. Otherwise the hostility will remain.
My comment was more of a crack at Face not liking a lot of popular bands, but it got blown out of context.

i didn't even see your crack at FACE, i'm talking about this by OmegaDragon:
small community, not that many members, i don't need him to "feel sorry for me" cause i don't like Goatwhore or Warbeast.
rephrase it, bro:
see? i would quote that and respond with an "indeed, friend".

Why are they not metal? Honest question.
Once upon a time I was kinda into Opeth. I think I still have a copy of Still Life on CD around here somewhere.
Can't bring myself to enjoy it these days though. That and Blackwater Park kinda just make me go Zzzzzzzzzzz, never really bothered listening to anything else.
Someone who's opinions I trust told me once that the first two or three albums are actually pretty good, but I can't say I ever cared enough to bother checking them out.

Just stumbled across this on Bandcamp, sounds like some pretty good doom/stoner;
http://candlelightrecordsusa.bandcamp.com/album/the-hundredth-name
Also, another Agalloch-alike that may be worth a listen;
http://hypnoticdirgerecords.bandcamp.com/album/wind
Oh, I agree, but I don't see how lumping Opeth fans together helps the matter. Or suggesting that they have no place in a metal thread (although, I'm going to assume that was a joke).

Guys guys let's just agree I have the worst taste in the thread and move on
New Sepultura album coming out:
Brazilian thrash band Sepultura, notorious for albums such as Arise and Beneath The Remains, have announced that they intend to release a new studio album in 2013 at some point. It has now been 2 year since the release of their previous album, Kairos, in 2011, and fans may be anxious to hear how they follow-up the first praised album the band has released in years.
The band stated on the subject that "We hope to have it released around the end of October/November on Nuclear Blast" and also mentioned “We have written most of the music already and now we are working on lyrics for the album".
More can be read on the subject here http://loudwire.com/sepultura-planning-new-album-2013/
Wasn't Kairos supposed to be decent? Then again I haven't listened to any Sepultura albums after Max and his bro left.

Hey now, Mr. Sandman started it.
I don't see a single really good band on that lineup and I see many mediocre and outright awful ones. I hear GWAR is "interesting" or "fun" to watch live, cause they got the costumes and gimmick and stuff but I'm not a fan, and the rest is mostly garbage sludge, deathcore and grind.
For a kick-ass line-up, this year's MDF was pretty solid.
Opeth is metal (I think he was just taking the piss), just terrible and boring.

I don't see why Pig Destroyer, Pallbearer, and Repulsion are getting lumped in with garbage like Down and Anselmo in everyone's dismissal of the lineup.
I wouldn't go either, but not every band on there is total trash.

I knew this would be an awesome lineup:
I wish I was able to go to this.
is that the 70's Italian prog rock band? I'd love to see them, but not with the rest of the band lineup.
also, Opeth discussions are always hilarious.

The only thing i have against NOLA metal is that I'm not into that style...? Never had anything against Eyehategod, seen them a couple of times, just not really into them.
I'm having a hard time understanding why White Chapel and especially Goblin (if it's really the 70s italian prog rock band) are on the bill.
Shitwater park.
Rohypnolwater Park
White Chapel is on there because they're on practically every metal themed festival they can get on. Goblin is on there (if it's the same Goblin you're thinking of) because they're a legendary horror themed band and they're performing a live score of Dario Argentos 1977 Masterpiece Suspiria. It's a horror movie festival and a music festival so they're an obscure fit.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Turned out a band that nobody knew anything about on Metallica's Orion 2013 bill named dehaan was actually....
Metallica performing Kill Em' All in it's entirety. dehaan is the last name of Dane DeHaan, the guy who stars in Through The Never.....Metallica has done "secret" shows like this before where they're billed as another band name.
Wish I could have been there.

Holy shit.
Thats pretty sweet.
SUPER LATE EDIT: I've listened to the whole new Black Dahlia album and.........well.......its solid. But its not very memorable. Granted, they're so good that its hard to ever top what they've done before, but I cant say there's any great reason to praise it beyond the fact that its more TBDM.
It probably sounded terrible

Keep listening - I had similar feelings on the first few listens.
I think it's the least accessible stuff they've done as whole, and it takes a while to sink in (relative to something like Nocturnal).
My only issue is that the production has gone downhill since Deflorate. They really nailed it with that one, and the mix has just continued to lose its clarity since.

It is also a horror movie fest.
13 is such a mixed bag in so many ways. At times, it feels like a Sabbath album, but other times, it feels like another Ozzy album. After listening to it a few times, I have to say, musically, the album is fantastic. Tony and Geezer are great, and the drumming is good too, but the problem is that there is just too much Ozzy. You barely go a few seconds without hearing him. He dominates every song. That wouldn't be so bad, but his voice is just gone. What makes it worse is that these lyrics are pretty bad. Nothing quite like early Sabbath. In many ways, they're nonsense. In the end, it's a good album, and better than many would expect, but it feels like Sabbath took a backseat to Ozzy, which wouldn't be so jarring, if it weren't for his diminished skills. Overall, good album, but there are some noticeable problems. BTW, in case anyone was wondering, it's not as good as any of the other Ozzy Sabbath albums, except TE, which I never really cared for outside of "It's Alright".

Gat damn. I'm only halfway through Deathspell Omega's closing song for "Drought". Fuck they make great last songs.

You are right on the money, sir. Both the closing track in that EP and in Paracletus are both simply awe-inducing. The slightly muffled choral track in The Crackled Book Life is simultaneously eerie and hypnotizing.

this is...actually really good. Right up my alley.
Check out Noisem's debut album Agony Defined. They're a new band on A389. I can't believe these guys are all 15 - 20 yrs old.
http://a389recordings.bandcamp.com/album/a389-128-noisem-agony-defined-12-cd
Some damn good thrash in there.
