I was wearing a Neurosis shirt today, so…yeesh this fucking sucks

 

[Laz]

I thought some of would get a kick out of this...

Sounds like that Ghoul psychobilly stint

 

[Gary]

18 years old today. Still their best album IMO

 

[Laz]

I prefer Blood Mountain, but it's by a very thin line.

 

[Epic Springs]

I really like The Hunter.

 

[Gary]

I really like The Hunter.

I'm meh on that one, though "Octopus Has No Friends" is a good song.

The Black Dahlia Murder Will Continue As a Band, Announce New Vocalist and Tribute Show | MetalSucks

The Black Dahlia Murder announce their new lineup following the passing of vocalist Trevor Strnad earlier this year.

www.metalsucks.net

Brian stepping into the vocalist role will be interesting, to say the least. He has a stage presence unto himself, a more relaxed and stoic one compared to the late Trevor's unhinged energy, but I'm down for giving it a shot.

[Laz]

RIP. I was only a Soilwork fan for a brief moment before I left melodeath aside for brutal shit, but they were one of the more consistent bands in quality.

 

[Laz]

In more positive news, I have been rocking this and oh my gods it's giving me that feeling of when I was 13 and just diving in beyond the major bands again.

I reiterate...Corpsegrinder is best case scenario for @Laz 's life in 10-15 years.

 

[Laz]

For the single most consistent vocalist in death metal, a man known for brutal tunes and humor? He is the most wholesome musician around.

 

[Laz]

Finally got around to watching This is Gwar. I'm kinda bummed they didn't go a little deeper into my favorite string of their work, the Smoot years, beyond a few minutes of "Smoot helped right the ship and we played awesome metal and then he died," but the stuff about the band's formation as a quick joke by Death Piggy, and the ensuing overt jealousy and (often justified) anger by Hunter Jackson, was something else.

Yeah. Of course I choked up when they showed footage from the viking funeral for the Oderus costume at Brockie's memorial service. I was there. A sea of ugly, angry, and weird punks, metalheads, and all other kinds of alt nutjobs crying out at once over the loss of their court jester. It hurt, and it felt good that it hurt.

Hail Oderus. Hail Flattus.

Beware @Laz

 

[Laz]

He's still 61 with a history of drug abuse and nerve damage. Something tells me I'll be okay.

"White Zombie had a downfall?" - @Laz

 

[King Kamala]

I always thought White Zombie broke up too soon to have a downfall. Their last album was their most successful!

 

[Laz]

Without watching it, I can already tell you the gist:
-Rob utilized a tighter creative control between La Sexorcisto and Astro-Creep (and to great results), most notably a greater industrial influence
-The growing disdain between Rob and Sean after their break up became too much
-Rob wanted timed for a "solo project," the band agreed because they wanted time away from him
-J wanted to play something between the early noise rock sound and La Sexorcisto anyway

How close am I, @Fall of Epic ?

 

[Epic Springs]

- Rob said in an interview that when they were recording Astro Creep, all four members weren't together in the studio at any point. They all had separate tour buses and dressing rooms.
- Sean revealed that Rob wanted WZ to go "more techno" and that he was really controlling.
- Rob thought Sean and Jay wanted to be taken seriously as musicians and he wasn't having any of it.

[Laz]

You could be cranking Seizure right now and playing some vicious murderhobo D&D, but instead you're on this board being a loser.

 

[Gary]

Autopsy have a new one out. Along with Immolation, they still got it. Also, Obituary put out a new song, and it's about what you'd expect

 

[Epic Springs]

New Metallica. New album drops in April.
