They're also very active with a meme page dedicated to them, and that makes them that much cooler.
EDIT: Those fucking lead breaks in that song are perfect. Like, spot on, exactly what they needed to be, worked flawlessly with the music kind of perfect.

I wonder why @Lazgistics Supervisor didn’t tell us about he took a second job, helping run a bar and grill.

New song from the Black Dahlia Murder, "Aftermath," is out. This is the first single off the first album with Brian as the lead vocalist after Trevor's passing a few years back.
Vocals are better than I expected. Sounds a lot like Trevor, but can't hit the high shrieks as well. But, he sounds good, and this is a solid BDM song. Pumped for the new album. There was a slight dip for me after Everblack, but they really are a consistently good band. Just, that the Miasma to Everblack five album run was great.

Everblack is so perfect start to finish that it'd be difficult for any band to follow up on it.

Update: probably the Metal album or the year thus far IMO. New DVNE, Judas Priest, Antichrist Siege Machine and Septage own too.

Sheeran also joined Offspring onstage recently. Is he just living out his teenage dreams?

I'm way out of the loop with modern metal, but this band Kaatayra is blowing my mind lately. Brazilian atmospheric progressive avant garde Black Metal. The instrumentation is like nothing I've heard before. They mix traditional Brazilian soundscapes with Black Metal. There's a lot of post metal vibes here as well.
Their older stuff is more traditional black metal and sounds like Blackgaze, but this album really took me on a ride.

That's very interesting. I'd like it better without the actual black metal, as the traditional instrumentation is some Grade-A horror soundtrack stuff.

"Ride the Lightning" was released 40 years ago today. My favorite Metallica album

New Opeth and THE GROWLING VOCALS ARE BACK! Their new album, "The Last Will and Testament" comes out October, and features Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull.
Second song is out
Sounds like they are going to be doing quite well post Trevor, but I still miss the punch of Trevor's vocals and his shrieks. I'm excited for this album.

I agree with a few of these (especially "No Arghoslent" or Grand Belial's Key-those are actual Nazi bands) but no to Darkthrone or Obituary? Fuck that shit.

Did a deep dive over the past week of Megadeth's comeback records starting with The System Has Failed.
System Has Failed - this one is actually pretty good despite it being a Dave Mustaine solo record as he wrote and recorded everything himself before slapping together a lineup for touring. Of Mice & Men and Kick the Chair are highlights.
United Abominations - pretty good follow up. The Tout La Moude sequel wasn't necessary but most of the other tracks are good.
Endgame - pretty decent
Thirteen - Dud
Super Collider - DUD (might be their worst record overall next to Risk)
Dystopia - pretty good in erasing the stink of SC even though it still as Dave's political wankery.
Sick, Dying, Dead - I really like the riffs and this is the best Dave's sounded in years.

Man, I knew Zakk Wylde was a hack who rode Ozzy's coattails but didn't know he was the "blatantly rip off Pearl Jam" type hack.

Twenty years old tomorrow.
Also, the first Atheist album (“Piece of Time”) turns 35 today. Two years later they released “Unquestionable Presence” and two years after that “Elements”. Both on the same day

ITT: Epic realizes Zakk is a renowned guitarist for a reason.
He's not the GOAT, and his riffs may not be particularly great, but the man knows his way around the fretboard and turned pinch harmonics into an art.
