I might not really know metal, but come on, Led Zeppelin? You call yourself a metalhead...

[Moonshield]

He likes Maiden, and that's good enough for me.

[ThaddeusMcKlown]

He likes Maiden, and that's good enough for me.

He also likes Metallica, Slayer, and Sabbath, which makes him good with me too!

 

For the record, Zepplin isn't metal in any way, shape, or form, but they still are f*cking incredible.

[a_fool_from_edinburgh]

right this summer ive decided im off to a festival, but I have a dilemma.

Do I go to Download with a group of my mates or Wacken with my girlfriend?

Wacken sounds alot more tempting, though it does look slightly scary... I think it may also work out cheaper even though its in Germany!!

Any thoughts?

[Trows]

Wacken, pure and simple.

[ThaddeusMcKlown]

Dislike:

Opeth

Dragonforce

Slipknot

Mudvayne

Anal c*nt

Finntroll

How on earth can you possibly dislike Opeth? Even I like them

But yeah, Dragonfroce are good too, if that's what you're into. I find them hard to listen to for more than a few songs, just because it's all the same. Amazing, but the same thing.

 

Slipknot suck, I agree. I found one of their lod CDs a week ago, popped it in, and wanted to killmyself for ever having liked them. Ugh.

Mudvayne blows too.

 

@a_fool - I dunno abotu you man, but I wouldn't go to a festival with my girlfreind.

But Wacken would be a badass trip.

Why you like Bleeding Through and Bullet For My Valentine over Opeth, Finntroll and DragonForce is confusing.

And his musical tastes affect either of you how? Just popping in to ask.

[Trows]

It doesn't affect them, like me, they are interested to see for what reason CtrlAltSupr dislikes Opeth. As I think the majority of us consider Opeth being one of the few bands whom live upto the hype.

 

Speaking of which, seeing them at the end of April.

God dammit. Everyone got to see them but me.

[CtrlAltSupr]

Finntroll is the easiest: foreign-to-metal instruments.

 

Dragonforce: dislike singer's voice.

 

Opeth: I like some songs. Should have specified. I dislike how they mix vocals. In one same song they use "soft" and "hard" vocals. Hard to describe for me: Dunno if I'm using the right words since English is not my native language.

 

Bullet for My Valentine is not that hard I guess. But yeah, I like some of their stuff since I don't listen to what I listed only. Same goes with Bleeding Through.

 

+5000 songs in my iPod are not made up from that tiny list I posted. Nor are they all Metal obviouvsly.

 

Oh and last but not least, many thanks for recommendations there Trows . I'm looking forward to listenning to a few new bands there. Actually all of them except Raventhrone which sounds extremely familiar, but I can't think of how it sounds.

 

 

[Trows]

 

Finntroll is the easiest: foreign-to-metal instruments.

 

Fair enough.

 

That's one of the things I love in metal, when bands use Oriental and Foreign instruments, from panpipes and flutes, to bagpipes and horns, I love it all.

A good portion of my recommendations actually use these elements, but still, see how you like em.

 

Each to his own, though.

Word. Bet you wouldn't like half of whatever other stuff I liesten to.

 

NO music is bad. It's all about liking it or not.

GWAR Prepare To 'Go To Hell' - Mar. 23, 2006 

 

Legendary heavy metal band GWAR have posted the following message on their official web site:

 

"Everyone (except everybody else) was ecstatic when GWAR put out 'Violence Has Arrived' in 2001 — it marked GWAR's triumphant return to metal, and the world breathed a collective sigh of relief that we hadn't put out another 'We Kill Everything', no matter how much they might have enjoyed having sex with animals! Ecstasy turned to unbridled glee when GWAR put out 'War Party' in 2004, because it was obvious to all that GWAR was going to keep it heavy. 'War Party' led to the best year in GWAR's blood-soaked history — people were forced to accept the fact that not only did GWAR put on the greatest show on this or any other planet, but they were also a musical force to be reckoned with. Some 240+ shows later, GWAR returned to the frozen waste of Antarctica with a 9-ton crack boulder, ready to plan the next phase in their never-ending yet ultimately futile campaign to destroy the planet and escape earth once and for all. Well, the crack boulder is down to a mere half-ton, so it is time — time for GWAR to return to realms of man with a new album, show, and all kinds of other cool sh*t to appease your lust for all things GWAR. So here is a brief explanation of what to expect and look forward to in what is shaping up to be the biggest and sickest chapter in GWAR's crummy career of complete chaos.

 

"First up, GWAR and Slave Pit are as pleased as a pimply porcupine to announce that none other than the incredible Devin Townsend (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, producer of about a million killer bands) will be co-producing the new GWAR record, tentatively entitled 'Go to Hell!' The bulk of the material is already completed, and recording at Flattus/Cory's Karma Studios begins in early April. Then Oderus and Flattus will travel to the semi-frozen wasteland of Vancouver (in the bat-shaped helicopter, of course), to mix and master what is without a doubt going to be the heaviest album in GWAR's discography. To ensure this every album will come with a large brick, that fans are encouraged to throw at someone. The concept of the album is the closest thing to a rock opera that GWAR has done since 'Ragnarok', and concerns GWAR's epic journey into the tunnels and caverns that honeycomb your world, a journey not only to escape their earthly prison 'from within,' but also to find and confront this so-called 'Satan,' who seems to think that he is a bigger badass than Oderus. Along the way GWAR encounters a bevy of demonic dickheads and hapless victims, all ready to die for your entertainment. The album will also have a special 'enhanced' section, with incredible behind-the-scenes footage and GWAR knows what else! Look for GWAR's latest and greatest album yet to hit the stores in September.

 

"If you don't know already, GWAR is confirmed for this year's Sounds of the Underground festival tour. GWAR will once again have the 'halftime show' slot, and the line-up is f*cking incredible. And the best part? No f*cking emo! So look for the dreaded 'Golf Cart of Death' on this summer's coolest festival tour! More or less around that time, Slave Pit and DRT will release a new DVD — titled 'Bloodbath and Beyond', this will be a behind and in front of the scenes history of all things GWAR and Slave Pit, including tons of rare and never-before scenes of consummate carnage. For example, you will witness the glory of 'Filthy Chunks', an unreleased porno movie filmed in the 'Scumdogs' era, starring Oderus and the Sexecutioner, and a previously unheard of video for 'Poor Old Tom', directed (poorly) by Oderus Urungus. The DVD will be hosted by Oderus and Sleazy in a completely retarded 'Siskel and Ebert' format. Yuks for all, you hump!

 

"And now for something completely different. A man with three buttocks. This one is just silly. Apparently GWAR has been awarded a 'Lifetime Achievement Award' by the Live Action Role Playing Society. This is a big deal! Tons of cool/famous/creative/completely geeked-out people are a part of this thing, and GWAR will be honored at a huge awards ceremony in Hollywood's Shrine Theater on April 29th, 2006. But that's not even the best part — the pre-awards party is going to be held the night before at the Playboy mansion, where GWAR will actually perform 2 songs! Somebody pinch me!

 

"Finally Slave Pit and Shocker Toys are proud to announce the release of a full-line of GWAR action-figures, meticulously crafted in painstaking detail by the very talented people at Shocker Toys. The figures will be released in three sets of three figures, and the schedule is as follows:

 

1) Oderus, Beefcake, and Techno-Destructo

2) Balsac, Jizmak, and Bozo-Destructo

3) Flattus, Slymenstra, and Sleazy P. Martini

 

"Each set comes with a Slave, various weapons, and whatever instrument the enclosed figure plays (poorly). The first set will debut at this year's San Diego Comic Con, with the follow-ups coming out soon after. There will also be a full line of 'Shockini' figures. GWAR fans play with dolls!

 

"Other even murkier events and products are lurking just beneath the horizon, so don't you fret, faithful bohab! As you go through the mundane, banal, and nauseating minutia that comprises the sum total of your life, the GWAR slaves are working their asses off, preparing the war machines that GWAR will utilize in this latest and greatest assault upon your planet and the realms that lay below it. GWAR is coming, down your throat, up your butt, and all over Satan's tits (all seven of them). Prepare human filth, GWAR is going to hell, and we're taking you with us!"

Sounds rediculously badass.

[Scarface187]

New GWAR album + Devin Townsend co-producing = Me buying the album.

[Groovy]

sh*t is is pissing me off.

 

Ok, So I only have Nuclear Assault's Survive on my computer, and I really want to snag myself a copy, because it is some seriously badass thrash metal. But the blasted thing is out of print. And it's not the kind of out of print that you can still buy the thing on like ebay or something for cheap. I'm talking out of print and really f*cking expensive. I'm talking sixty dollars and above expensive. And then what makes it even worse(Or not worse, I'm still not sure) is that every one of there other albums goes for real f*cking cheap. Hell, I'v seen their newest cd go for seventy-five cents!

 

Well, atleast I even have it on my computer. Think I might give it another listen.

Holy crap. 75 cents?!

 

 

 

I decided to tag along with the family and go to Walmart and out of all the sh*t in the music section I found Ghost Reveries. I was pretty surprised even though its more well known then Opeth's other stuff. I bought that on the spot.

[Trows]

I need recommendations.

 

Been listening to jazz related metal bands alot recently, and looking for more stuff similar to Atheist, Cynic and Maudlin of the well/ Kayo Dot.

 

Any ideas?

[Sir Smoke-A-Lot]

Pestilence

Farmakon

Ephel Duath

Aghora

 

 

Those are the only other jazz-related metal bands I know.

[Scarface187]

I've been digging Burzum a lot recently. Unfortunatly I only have 3 songs.

 

Stemmen Fra Tarrnet

Key to the Gate

Dunkelheit

 

I love them all, but then I have this other one that is just complete sh*t, not because of the music but because I can't hear sh*t. Literally I have to turn the volume all the way up to barely hear the vocals and instruments. I understand black metal has sh*tty production but that was just crazy. Can anyone reccomend me a Burzum album that I could probably find?

[Trows]

Filosofem.

[Groovy]

Well, I found out that one the day of the Arch Enemy/Nevermore/Hate Eternal Show, my ride is going to be on a plane to California, so it's a no go for that.

 

The next shows I know of that are coming up, are Sounds of The Underground, Gigantour, and D.R.I.

When is that HE show?

 

And Roddy quit the band. I might still go for Nevermore.

[Groovy]

April 12th is the day of the show. But, my mom will be brining my dad(the ride) to the airport, and we will have our puppies by then, so I will get to stay out of school anyways.

 

So it's a score for me anyways.

[Funkdoc]

sucks that Roddy quit HE,but he won't stop doing extreme metal so I'm happy.

I'm curious to hear his project with alex webster,should be killer.

 

Oh and Kevin Talley will fill in for Roddy for the upcoming tour but I'm not quite sure if he is able to play Roddy's parts...we'll see or hear...

 

aaaand make sure to check out Benighted,KILLER death metal from france

[Moonshield]

They are, I've only heard a song or two from them though. The only french band I listen to regularly is Belenos. Apparently the french BM scene is pretty good, but I'm just not sure what to look for, other than say Anorexia Nervosa.

 

ps. Webster should quit the f*ck out of CC and join a better band.
