I am back with yet another question. What is everybody's favorite Industrial Metal album?

For me, while I think some of the other bands that have been released over the years are pretty good, I would have to go with the one and only Streetcleaner, by Godflesh. Nothing else comes close, aside from maybe Too Dark Park (but that's not an Industrial Metal album, so never mind).

Yup.

The most obvious answer from me.
Streetcleaner has such a great brooding, mechanical, melancholic feel to it.

Godflesh S/T, Streetcleaner, Slavestate, Pure and all the EPs in between are unmatched.

Dead World came pretty close, but was super short lived and too much of a Godflesh ripoff.

Swans - Cop/Young God/Filth needs to be in this conversation. As well as early Scorn and Coil.

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.
 
Godflesh is the only answer

While I had listened to a few random tracks by them before Giant Robot pushed me to finally sit down and listen to an entire album, good shit

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

On the subject of Melechesh, how do you feel about The Epigenesis?
Click to expand...
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.

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?

Probably very late, but I just heard Hail to the King by Avenged Sevenfold (the song, not the album) and found it incredibly boring, especially the drumming. Is the album much better? Keep seeing good reviews everywhere
 
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.

Worse than BrokenCyde?

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.
 
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.
 
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.

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.
Click to expand...

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!

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.

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.

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.
 
New announcements for MDF 2014:

"It has been awhile since we've announced any bands, so here are a few confirmations to hold you over until things really start to pick up with band announcements, starting next week!

UNLEASHED (Sweden) - Exclusive US appearance!
UNCLE ACID & THE DEADBEATS (UK) - Exclusive US appearance!

As you can see, we didn't spend the month of August booking dozens of bands, as we've been in the middle of sorting out the venue situation for next year, which is looking very positive right now. We plan on revealing more info about that during the first half of September.

The next announcement of confirmed bands will be next week, and you can expect frequent updates in September and October as we continue to book more bands. Headliner announcements are still to come.

Updated list of confirmed bands for MDF XII:
