Fuck yes. I love early Swans. Super intense stuff.
I love later Swans too but for different reasons obviously.

Streetcleaner for me as well. "Industrial" metal is a horrible genre so it's not like there's a whole lot to choose from anyway.
Skin Chamber, Sonic Violence and The Human Quena Orchestra are other noteworthy bands.
Swans and Coil are both incredible bands. I'm still kicking myself for not having the funds for Colour Sound Oblivion at the time
I just checked discogs and the cheapest price is 700$

Are Swans considered Industrial Metal? Dang, I never thought of that, because I certainly would have included their earlier material, which is punishing in its own right and still some of the best examples of sounding like, well, machines pulverizing and crushing you into oblivion. I always thought they were just Industrial.

They're not really a metal band at all but they were a big inspiration for the good industrial metal bands.

Love it, though I probably slightly prefer Emissaries and Sphinx. Still, I think Grand Gathas of Baal Sin might be one of their best songs to date.
I need to get my hands on Djinn... I cannot get enough Melechesh for now.
I'm in a similar boat. I was just curious, as you've expressed some distaste at the more "pretentious" types of metal, which I would argue that album has more of than their previous ones.
I'm dying to get some new stuff.

You cant get more definitive than Streetcleaner. The rest of their discography is pretty sweet as well, even the EPs. Hymns and Us and Them are my favourites after Streetcleaner.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Really digging this new Castevet song.

New album via Profound Lore on 10/15.

I'm definitely an Emissaries guy when it comes to them. Love Melechesh. I'm a total sucker for Middle Eastern rhythms.
Are they putting out any new material soon?
Sorry for doing this...this is going to sound retarded. I have this song in my head that I heard recently and I can't remember what the hell it is. I hummed the guitar riff:

Anyone have any idea what this is? I will not be able to have a good night's sleep until I figure this out. >_<

So a friend of mine starting listening to Emmure.
That was AWFUL and was the equivalent of sticking red hot pokers in my ears. Seriously, what genius (sarcasm, obviously) thought it was a good idea to mix deathcore with nu-metal, for crying out loud! limp bizkit is the worst band of all time. Why on earth would you even attempt to be influenced to their horrendous music?

Sometimes the whole tough guy thing just gets out of control....it's probably less bad with Metal as opposed to the -core offshoots -

And whilst not strictly metal, Cancer Bats really work for me as good solid metallic hardcore fun, right alongside Every Time I Die.

I'm on my third relistening of Parallax II now...man this album is really starting to come together. I think I'm close to declaring this my favorite BTBAM album. Silent Flight Parliament may be my favorite song of theirs...even despite the massive shifts in style throughout the song it manages to stay entirely cohesive for the full 15 minutes and it never gets boring. That is quite a feat. It does have a bit of a battle against White Walls, though.

Just listening to this, and it's very fucking good so far.

Touche. brokencyde for me is probably the worst band to exist, and I've listened to limp bizkit and emmure. Seriously, they make Nickelback and Linkin Park (both bands that are terrible) look decent in comparison.
Also, has any body had the chance to listen to the infamous Projekt Misanthropia by Stalaggh? Just finished listening to it.

It's a great album to listen to from start to finish.
Not close to AOTY for me but the album is very good. There's a lot of viking era Bathory influence on it too which is great.
Just got around to listening to these guys, it's awesome!
thats why its AOTY...

OK, the vocals in Demilich's Nespithe absolutely rule.

fuck yes it does, all natural without any effects too! That whole album fucking rules.
I think Antti Bowman put up all the Demilich recordings available for FREE.
EDIT: Free Demilich download

Free and legal according to Antti Bowman. He owns the rights and was pissed off at i think Necropolis Records trying to re-issue Nespithe.
Happy birthday, Persistence of Time!

The debut City in the Sea full-length, Below the Noise, is out and it's pretty good.
Polished to a mirror shine production-wise, has some really catchy hooks, sweet atmospherics and I'm really enjoying the clean singer's slightly snarling sound. Not the most groundbreak record and the lead singer/harsh vocalist is subpar to my ears, but overall I'm enjoying it. If you enjoy melodic metalcore stuff, I highly suggest checking it out.

this thread needs more Japanese death metal, specifically Intestine Baalism. It's a bizarre mix of Suffocation, Dismember, Iron Maiden, and some cheesy moments from Gothenburg bands like In Flames/Dark Tranquility.
Intestine Baalism - A Place Their Gods Left Behind
Intestine Baalism - Flesh For The Twelfth Omnipotent
Intestine Baalism - Galaxy Of The Black Sun

Another new awesome Correction's House song:
Run Through The Night
If you don't remember my multiple posts about this awesome supergroup, they're Mike IX Williams from Eyehategod, Scott Kelly from Neurosis, Bruce Lamont from Yakuza, Sanford Parker from Minsk.

If you aren't aware of Temple, this is a must-listen. From the first few minutes of the first song 'Mountain' I was pretty blown away.
http://templeofficial.bandcamp.com/album/on-the-steps-of-the-temple
Instrumental, doom/blackened/post-metal. The songwriting, riffs and atmosphere are incredible. Possibly the most legit band in this kind of sound that I've heard.

Any body else here enjoy Atheist or Cynic? Come on, let's get some love!
Unquestionable Presence is pretty much my pick for best metal album of all time.

I think everyone in this thread loves Cynic and Atheist.
Focus, Piece of Time, and Unquestionable Presence are all classics. The bass and drum tracks on Unquestionable Presence are fucking insane.
Cynic's unreleased song off their demo before Focus is amazing as well: Cynic - Pleading For Preservation
Tony Choy plays bass on both songs!

Someone on GAF posted about this band sometime last year and it was one of my favorite albums of all last year. Well worth checking out for anyone who hasnt heard them yet.
