Oh boo hoo. I never implied that what you like blows (fyi I think you like power/speed metal, I don't, at all). Read my entire post and check the lineup again. Is that an awful line-up? Of course you have your preferences and that's fine. But it seems to me you have to dislike quite some bands/styles if you don't see anything of value. Hell I even think you'd appreciate Pallbearer for example.
As for, I wouldn't go to it. My main interest would be Repulsion and Pig Destroyer, everything up to Pallbearer (well not Whitechapel) would be nice to see.
And your little "lol Opeth fans are stupid amirite" is also totally irrelevant. You're just raging at a group that doesn't exist here.
That Septic Flesh release is a rerelease. Hope noone got too excited reading this and then getting disappointed.
Edit: Well let's post some music. Recently a nearby record store went bottoms up, so I grabbed some black metal for cheap.
Sacramentum - After the Sun
So I recognised the cover, but never heard anything from them. Dissection-ish melodic black metal, it's pretty neat http://youtu.be/W1YXIdfwX9U
Melechesh - Sphynx
Middle-eastern black/folk metal, I quite like them. http://youtu.be/93iYOGX2Cks
Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Skye
No commentary needed http://youtu.be/kAajs4oMbpg

bad gameplay lol
It really is. I rarely buy albums, but I bought this one. They absolutely deserve the support.

I knew it was a rerelease, but it made me think about how much I want a followup to The Great Mass. It's still one of my favourite albums of the past couple years.

Love that Sacramentum album. One of the better Dissection clone bands.
On that same note: Dawn - The Knell and the World
Lately, been listening to all Martin Van Drunen related stuff. Especially Hail of Bullets for maximum headbanging. One of the best and consistent vocalist out of the European death metal scene imo.
Hail of Bullets - Advancing Once More (Live)
Pestilence - Out Of The Body
I opened this expecting Dillinger Escape Plan. Disappointed.

OmegaDragon, I do like Opeth, so the group exists here, even if it is just me.

This was me. SIGH!
Their past two albums are absolute masterpieces. I'll be amped as hell whenever their next one drops.
Hmm, is this for real? First Iced Earth, Stratovarius and now fucking Children of Bodom?

Can't stand his sense of humor, myself. Or his anything, really.

SYL has some great material but I always felt Townsend hampers himself with his "humor." Especially with some of his solo material. *coughZiltoidcough*
It's definitely got newer Bodom touches, but in my opinion a bunch of tracks could've fit right onto Hatebreeder/FTR.

it's a quite good song but I don't think is really the best of the year. the first part is very isis-like, then they stumbled upon a great riff but cound't build anything around it and ended up repeating too many times, and after that the song never recovers.
Pitchfork is streaming one of the two High On Fire live albums coming out next week:
Spitting Fire Volume 2:
http://pitchfork.com/advance/140-spitting-fire/
It's High On Fire dammit.

Fuckin roooooaaar! Awesome sound! Listening to this on maximum volume via headphones really feels like the live experience! Yes!

Badass, the sound quality is pretty good.
Saw Mastodon live monday (second time for me). They're still playing a lot of The Hunter, and some of the songs just don't have the kick to hold up live or get a good reaction from the crowd. For me the only Hunter song that can stand the test of time live is Spectrelight. Others are okay to tame. Their encores were Blood & Thunder followed by The Sparrow, pretty big contrast. I just go nuts over the other stuff, like Fire Ants followed by Iron Tusk. That übercombo set the crowd on fire. Not many songs of The Hunter can do that.

I've heard of this phenomenon, and I believe they are. Viking longship rowing during a Metal concert.
I honestly think it's kind of awesome, in a renn faire/mead in a giant horn/neckbeard kind of way.

New Children of Bodom is pretty good. It just feels really short.

MvD too godlike! Consuming Impulse is amazing. Shout outs to Asphyx as well.
Here is the full Volbeat show from Rock AM Ring this year:

This is fucking awesome, and I can't wait to see what these guys do once they grow even more into their immense talent.
Yeah, there are good things happening in thrash right now, I feel like these guys and Power Trip will have a long career in front of them.
Southern Lord has another crust punk / dark hardcore band releasing their debut full legnth album with them, this time it's Centuries from Florida.
http://centuriesfl.bandcamp.com/
Sounds pretty good for what I'm hearing on the bandcamp. The album, Taedium Vitae is out August 6th.

Dave brockie is one of the funniest people alive. Gwar is meh though.

It is generally accepted that GWAR exists as a top notch live performer and no one cares for their studio albums.
I tried to get them in my radio station once, but they all wouldnt fit inside with their costumes on, haha.
Anyways, GWAR is fun to see at least once. Always wear a white shirt to their shows.

Anyone post the new Annihilator song Deadlock?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZklVbqyrzoY
Its not bad. It feels just like Annihilator. I can never get enough new thrash.

Psh, I love GWAR and their albums (minus We Kill Everything, Ragnarok & Carnival Of Chaos). Been into them since '90, fun band.
Speaking of Thrash, let's see here:
Sample of new Toxik material: Here
New Whiplash song: Here
Couple of older songs:
Arachnid - Near Dark
Chemical Annihilation - Nuclear Proliferation

I had no idea Toxik reunited. Guitar wankery sounds nuts, at least the trademark Toxik riff are there.
That Chemical Annihilation sounds cool, i'd have to find out more about them.
Now i wish Atrophy would reunite, i miss that tight killer riffing.

Fuck, I want to buy an Isis album but I can't decide which one. Since Panopticon seems to be out of print it's a choice between Oceanic and Wavering Radiant, but I change opinion every day...
beato_angelico
Member
well I'm not requesting opinions on which one is better since I know that oceanic obviosly would get more support. It's just that I'm frustated that I haven't the money to get both right now.

I've been listening to the Necropsy compilation that came out recently.
Their first 2 demos are nothing special but the rest of the material is good, with Go All The Way of The Flesh and Promo 1993 being my favorites so far.
The sound is surprisingly good, the guy who remastered this did a good job. Even their first demo that they recorded when they were 14 sounds pretty good.
Garden of Rotting
Martyrdom
Worth picking up if you're into trashy death metal.

So yeah, the new Children of Bodom really is pretty decent. Shout out to Metal-GAF for the heads up, because I never would have checked it out otherwise. That band has disappointed me for so long, I'm impressed that they pulled this one out.
The new Sabbath, on the other hand, is a bore thus far. Some solid Iommi riffs, but it's just dull as I finish my first play through.
