Indeed it is. I had zero expectations since their first singles are usually crap, but boy this is GOOD.

It's a decent track, though I liked their lead off single from their last album more. Also, there's something weird with the drum production on this. It sounds really crappy for me.

That sucks. Someone has to step up and help you out, I would think.

Holy shit, cool!
Yeah, I'd go to that show.....mostly just for Eyehategod because they're one of the few bands on my list that I have yet to see live, but that's a killer lineup playing with them too.
Dig it. Thanks for posting.

Jeff Waters has always been way too good for Annihilator, almost like how Jeff Loomis is way too good for Nevermore.

New TÝR, the first song that was released was "Blood of Heroes" and the album is called "Valkyrja" first album they release with Metal Blade after they got a contract with them. My mind is blown, great Art, sick sound, and I think George Kollias did a great job in the drums and Heri's vocals are always better and better with each album.
Can't wait to listen the whole album, which will be out in September 17th.
Check it out, folks:

I don't know if Al Jourgensen is onto something here, or if he's flipped his lid....
It's hard to tell usually with Al Jourgensen.

I always preferred Kreator when it came to Teutonic thrash. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZZVlFdk5UU
Speaking of thrash - I was revisiting an old favorite of mine and wanted to share. Exmortus - In Hatred's Flame is fun, wanky technical thrash along the lines of Revocation, but with a heavy melodeath influence. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDmMwynAAgA

same, Kreator was always my favorite German thrash band, but Sodom is a close second if only for those thrash breaks

Man, Alestorm is so fun to listen to. I might go check them out when they're in Chicago in Nov.

I've seen them when they were Kyuss lives. It's a cool gig, just go alone! If theres a typical stoner crowd it should be no problem to find some people to talk to before or after. ;DKyuss aka Vista Chino will be coming to town soon and I have no friends to go with.
Should I go alone? Has anyone ever seen em?

Man, I fucking love the guitar work in this. It reminds me of the stuff I did.

Hooooly shit, this is heavy as fuck! Amazing.
Which is better? Pirate Metal or Viking Metal?
Pirate Metal is more fun.....Viking Metal has more headbanging....hard to choose.

fantastic album and for a while it's the only one of theirs I listened to. After I heard Here in After though, holy shit. I really think you should give it a few more listens. I guess some people are more keen on the more standard OSDM flavor, of which Immolation's take was still way ahead and more complicated than others'. Here in After combines the old school with a modern technicality that I believe is the pinnacle of their style.

hugely entertaining band. Set Sail and Conquer is still my fav song.

I hope that's a joke. There's no such thing as pirate metal (except Running Wild but they're just speed metal really).
Are you familiar with Alestorm?

It's kinda slow and doomy.....it's awesome and different, check it out.
Kind of like industrial doom almost.....very good.

ugh, wtf is this.
Not a big fan of Bloodbath, but this parody shirt fucking rules:
Can't wait to hear the rest of the album. So many great albums this year already.
On that note isn't viking metal just death metal with lyrics about vikings?
I wasn't before clicking those and I was a happier man, I urge anyone reading this to not repeat my mistake.
Of course you would hate anything associated with fun.
If that's "fun" I'd take a swift kick to the nuts over it any day of the week.
Many people would say Amon Amarth is viking metal, but they are exactly what you said. Death metal with Norse-inspired lyrics. There are some bands that actually classify themselves as "viking metal," and they usually have folk elements in them.
And I'll stick up for Alestorm as well. They're a fun band. I've seen them live a few times. I can't listen to them all the time like I can with some other artists, but they're nice to listen to every now and then, and they put on a good show.
Years ago, I listened to people in this thread warning me about a band being shitty. I avoided Mastodon for years because of it and it was big mistake on my part. I love them now, but I avoided them because a guy who's opinion I respected kept saying they were shitty.

Aww yeah Alestorm. There's Swashbuckle too.
Swashbuckle - "Cruise Ship Terror"
Swashbuckle - "Scurvy Back"
Swashbuckle - "Drink Up!"
It doesn't though. There's maybe more of a "folk" element in viking metal, but if being a Viking metal band is largely having a norse image and norse inspired lyrics, then having "pirate metal" is totally within reason.
