So who's picking up the new KMFDMorbid Angel? Not this guy.

They've got to be kidding.

First Job For A Cryptopsy, now this. Thank God Chuck Schuldiner died or we might have had to suffer through something that was basically Death with power metal vocals, and... oh, right, that happened.

 

[Agent of Oblivion]

I'm a little late, but Ghost's Opus Eponymous is the best metal album in years, point blank.

[The Metal Maniac]

That was not at all what I expected to hear, but I like it.

 

[Gary]

Yeah, I heard them like two months ago. I really should have posted about them then.

 

[Wario Lemieux]

I didn't like that song, but I'm still downloading the album to listen to it because I was intrigued by the vibe. Kinda Blue Oyster Cult meets King Diamond, except with guitar tone that sounds like a Boss MetalZone into a 10 watt amp from Sears.

Edit: I've listened to the whole album 4 times. Didn't expect Scooby doom to hook me this badly. The fuck.

 

[Wario Lemieux]

Oh man the new Marilyn Manson song is sick.

The riffs take like five minutes to pick out, and are all cool as fuck.

Love it.

Well hey, at least Cryptopsy won't sell out by...oh wait...

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

For those of you into power metal, you should check out Avantasia's new CD/DVD release "The Flying Opera". Holy shit this thing kicks ass. Avantasia is fronted by Edguy's Tobi Sammet with the rest of the band pretty much being a who's who of the Euro power metal scene. Good stuff.

 

[Smartly Pretty]

I don't like metal, like, at all, but the two Ghost songs Agent posted in here are really cool.

Hitler was a sensitive man.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

New Morbid Angel...

...WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!?!?!?!? This is a band whose influence and importance to the death metal sub-genre means they can rest on their laurels until they call it quits and people will still say "hey, Altars of Madness is a fucking great album." That...oh man...Unspoken King is bad, St. Anger is terrible, but this...this is absolute garbage since those albums at least had some minor similarities to older works. This, though, isn't even a cash-in on the modern sound since the pseudo-goth/industrial scene hasn't been popular for 10 fucking years.

Sensitive Seth dead makes too much sense to me. Anal Cunt was always a one-note joke, but damn was that joke hilarious when delivered at the right time. It looks like Joe Bonni has one less person that wants to punch his face in. But now who's going to tell us how much everybody in Allston must be killed? Who's going to light your babies on fire?

 

[Gary]

Seth's also had real problems with addiction. I'm amazed he lasted as long as he did.

 

[Wario Lemieux]

My favorite MA album is Domination. The title track into Where The Slime Live? Fucking awesome.

 

[Agent of Oblivion]

Really? I like that one a lot, too. I like Blessed are the Sick more, but Domination is seriously overlooked. Shit's good.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Seth's problems with addiction are indicative of the scene up here en masse, actually. Lots of pills, coke, and drink to be found, which is why it's dying again.

And yes, "Dominate" into "Where the Slime Live" is fucking nasty as hell.

They are touring in the States and Canada right now with Enslaved.

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

I downloaded Ghost's album a few weeks back. I don't care about what they are singing about, but it's a damn fine album.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

So is Ghost joining the ranks of Baroness, the reunited Celtic Frost/Triptykon, and Skeletonwitch as bands who are highly acclaimed that I just find dull as hell?

I mean I don't hate the stuff, but each of those other bands were heavily hyped for one reason or another (Baroness - Blue Record, Celtic Frost - Monotheist, Triptykon - Eparistera Daimones, and Skeletonwitch - Beyond the Permafrost), but listening to them reveals stuff that I really can't sink my teeth into (and I actually enjoy it).

 

[Agent of Oblivion]

...You've heard earlier Celtic Frost, right? How can you not love that? That's about as raw and thrashy and "OOUH! HEY! UGH!" as it gets.

Celtic Frost - The Usurper

Best.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

I have. I don't mind it (it seems like a major case of hearing everything it influenced well before hearing the originator, similar to how Venom seems tame compared to just about every band that followed them from outside of Los Angeles). I was talking about how Monotheist came out a few years ago, people creamed themselves over it, and...well, let's just say I was entirely unimpressed.

 

[Agent of Oblivion]

I love Celtic Frost and even I didn't exactly cream myself over it. I like it, though.

Ghost is fuckin' amazing though. They just get it.

 

[The Metal Maniac]

Finally, the day has almost come.

Leaving for England on Saturday. The following Friday is the first day of Sonisphere. Will be seeing Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax on a single fucking night of a 3-day concert. Going to be in-fucking-sane.

Think I'm actually looking forward to seeing Anthrax the most, as I've seen Slayer twice and Megadeth once already.

There's a ton of other bands on the bill, but the big 4 is why I'm going, bottom line.

Gojira, Fozzy, In Flames now suck, Mastodon, Limp Bizkit (lol), Kylesea, Motorhead, Orange Goblin, Opeth, Sisters of Mercy (didn't know they were still around-not metal, but still) and Watain are there too.

Aw shit I'm beatin'

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

I tried listening to the new Queensryche album, Dedicated to Chaos, today. I got through the 6th track and had to turn it off. It was pretty bad.

 

[Jaxxxson Mayhem]

What song is it where the song builds up with no lyrics until a guy screams WAKE UP.
