This is amazing early 90's death metal stuff right here.

Pretty good but I still think that Bloodbath reached it's pinnacle with this EP. 4 tracks of sogood.gif. Fathomless Mastery had its moments (Earthrot, Devouring The Feeble and Drink from the cup of Heresy) but on the whole, it wasn't nearly as good.
Bloodbath - Unblessing the Purity EP

So, the other day I find myself at Amoeba Records, cause I was checking out the Haight in SF and was like "well, might as well" picked up like 4 clearance metal CDs for under $9 collectively. So not bad.
One of them I picked up though was Hugi - Solarliod. Now, you know the saying, don't judge a book by it's cover? Well that usually applies to the quality of the product and not the genre. Generally, when browsing metal, you are able roughly figure out what subgenre a record is gonna be; BM albums have a look, metalcore albums have a look, etc. So, I see this record and everything about the packaging screams "progressive metal" or "post-metal" or something along those lines; the cover is really minimalist and features a black and white solar eclipse, the CD art and the liner booklet are all covered in really stylish artwork that are basically modern astronomical/stargazing charts done up in a really cool style (like serious, it's some good looking stuff), the tracks are simply named "Solarliod I" to "Solarliod X" so on and so on. So you can kinda see why I was thinking that this would be sorta an artsy, maybe ambient-tinged, space-y metal record.
But I was sorely mistaken. It's all just some shitty black metal. Boring riffs, ultra-shitty recording production (like seriously, I know "lo-fi" is like the calling card of black metal but this shit just unlistenable), the short "thank you's" in the liner notes went out to all the "true Pagan warriors!"
lol, k bro.), blah blah blah. Oh well, I guess there was probably a reason it was only 2 bucks.
(For the curious, the other three records were Anthrax - Among the Living, Chelsea Grin - Desolation of Eden, Born from Pain - Sands of Time)

open to pretty much anything..if you insist on labels, I gladly take anything metal-related that fits my description, also crust, hc, noise-rock stuff...

Okay, good! Here's a fairly diverse smattering of different subgenres that might strike your fancy.
Aesthetics Versus Architecture - "Cowboy Killer"
Amia Venera Landscape - "Empire"
Nails - "God's Cold Hands"
Distances - "Keelhaul"
Hollow Tongue - "Control Hole"
Sworn In - "Opportunist"

thanks! definitely the right direction! need to keep an eye out for more trashy stuff like this
out of all of these I liked nails and hollow tongue the most, they're actually quite good. especially hollow tongue, kinda fast & simple with my kind of vocals
some of the other stuff was..how do I put this...too "elaborate" and at parts just too melodic for my tastes, just not my thing I guess but thanks a lot

I recommend the Grind Madness At The BBC compilation. The Napalm Death set is insane.

I will re-iterate this because it's quite possibly the best recording Napalm Death ever had, and the best era as well.
also all Axis of Advance stuff is killer.

Your description fits Nails pretty well I think.
I think you could like Ananda, their record Profane is really amazing, I still listen to it after many years. Almost nobody knows them, though.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Another new Dead in the Dirt track from their upcoming LP, on, you guessed it, Southern Lord.

This song is devastating. Fucking awesome. Southern Lord continues to kill it.
Continuing his legacy of being a douche and a nut-job, whether he was actually planning something or not. I've always refused to pay any money for Burzum related stuff because I don't want to in any way finance Varg's "message". Same with any NS-related bands really.

So Thou is the best band ever and you should all buy their new album when it comes out at the end of summer (I hope).
Have some random Thou.
And most of their stuff is free!

Orcustus - Of Sophistry, Obsession and Paranoia
That song is pretty representative of the whole album, one of my favorites.

Not sure how many of you like Avenged Sevenfold, but I've always dug them. Their new single Hail to the King is pretty cool

haven't listened to everything but most of it and tbh I really dig all I heard so far.
xysma sound so evil and almost demonic it's wonderful :3
axis of advance have some mean vocals too, I like.
ananda and high on fire are also really nice and loaded with energy
orcustus are just fucking awesome, but they drive my cat insane haha. how the hell are they not more well known?
also that napalm death recording really was insane. I kinda regret that I missed them playing in my town a few days ago.
aw so much new stuff to listen to, thanks GAF

Be warned that only up to Xysma's first LP "Yeah" sounded like that, pure early Carcass worship. Everything else after that was completely different.

Saw Wintersun in London tonight and they were goddamn amazing. Totally knocked it out of the park. Only problem was the terrible venue staff threatening to kick people out for asking them to turn the air conditioning on when it was basically a sauna in there, and were unwilling to set up beer on tap after requests and instead sold bottles at more-insane-than-usual prices. Damper on the whole thing since everyone seemed to be drained and uncomfortable. So Metal-GAF; have any of you had any truly awful venue experiences?
Preaching to the choir with Pentagram, dig 'em. Criminal, not so much...
New Trouble album is out. After one listen, kinda like it. Music still sounds like Trouble pretty much, going to take a few more listens to get used to Eric not singing and give Kyle a fair shake. I'm thinking it'll grow on me, album is odd in a few places!

Apparently this: http://www.spin.com/articles/pelican-forever-becoming-interview/
New Pelican Album, Forever Becoming, out Oct 15.
Yeah, when they refused to sell beer at all. We went out, screw them
And from wild days, when we were packed like sardines on Cannibal Corpse concert. They managed to get over 1000 people in hall with capacity of 650. Damn, my body was so sore, that i barely moved for whole week. But it was killer, with people stage diving at all (this was the only way to get to the door and breathe some fresh air). And even got high five from Corpsegrinder
The only thing that has made a venue experience bad for me is either a shitty sound system or shitty security. I've seen both security who didn't give a fuck and do their jobs and security who overdid their jobs.....no moshing at a show involving Converge? Alrighty then.

I was on the mood for some poor heavy metal and for another time I end up listening to Mercyful Fate's Melissa for the "I have lost count" time, I can't describe how much I love this album.

Still fuckin' amazing after all those years.

I fucking love Dystopia(I'm not sure if I'm the one that recommended them to you). To me they're the most complete band when it comes to extreme music. In their music you'll find black metal, death metal, doom metal, sludge metal, and punk/hardcore influences so whenever I feel like listening to "metal" music without the labels Dystopia's my band of choice.
If you like Dystopia you might enjoy Acid Bath.
I love Acid Bath so I guess I have to check out Dystopia, sounds really interesting.

yes you did
and you're right! I also dig the lyrics and general attitude. just fucking perfect
oh thanks again, I'll check them out

Fuck I cannot wait to see Corpse. Should be amazing
Edit: Some old Arch Enemy came out when I was at the gym, got my library on random, and man they aren't garbage, just different now. Even the earlier Angela stuff was better than today's.
Oh sweet, clarinet guy did Suffocation
Damn I think Suffocation, Death and Morbid Angel are my top 3 DM bands.

Dystopia is fucking hilarious. Dino (drummer) is singing in another legendary band, who are local heroes to me, that you need to check out as well: Noothgrush - Oil Removed
About fucking time. I was losing interest in them fast...well I kinda did after that last EP.
I wonder if they will continue the vocals experiment from Final Breath. I hope they do.
