So I listened to a Machine Head song for the first time today. I've heard of this band but never checked them out before. They kinda remind me of Trivium.

Well, I should have told you earlier. And yeah, Machine Head is for some reason, really similar to Trivium. I've never really been too much of a fan of Trivium, but I've liked Machine Head as one of my first metal bands, perhaps the first groove metal band I listened to.

 

They do have a Metallica cover, if you'd be interested in that. Pretty plain though. In The Blackening, all their covers are pretty much carbon copies of the original, though in Drop B or C# standard (+40 cents on each) and with Robb's vocals.

Anyway, the covers I do like are: Message in a Bottle, The Possibility of Life's Destruction, Witch Hunt, and The Sentinel.

Because it was just me and one other guy in the freezer deptartment tonight, we got to choose what music to blast over the speakers. Judas Priest and Motley Crue all night! Probably the most fun I've ever had on the job.

I think you guys might wanna know about this if you're an As Blood Runs Black fan

They're trying to go the free agent route with their new album.
they have an indiegogo account setup with some pretty cool packages ranging from a copy of the album to having them come and play at your house.

Post music got me pretty addicted lately, mainly Post-Rock like GY!BE, Mogwai and Arctic Plateau, but I gave some Post-Metal bands a listen. Mostly Cult of Luna

If you follow the album-reviewing community (which I know none of you do), then you've seen this album spoken about.

 

 

I can't get into it as much as everyone else can. The metal parts are amazing, but the added instrumentation sounds really synthetic.

I love that album. It's not flawless by any means, but extremely good in my opinion. The instrumentation doesn't sound synthetic to me :/

The wind instruments sound like MIDI instruments. I love the way the instumentation sounds on an album like "Time I," because it feels so real.

Recently, I've been listening a lot of bands' debut albums and today I listened to Show No Mercy by Slayer

Don't know why but I like underproduced albums...

[Le Kvlt Dawn 2,364]

I was listening to Cannabis Corpse's EP Blunted at Birth today.

This site's been really dead lately... The last few days especially.

I just listened to that album and it was really dam good. Do you have anything else you would recommend that sounds similar?

I've noticed that too. Especially on this thread. Are people getting too lazy to even get on the internet!? Nah...

 

Anyway, some more Slayer

I went ahead and ordered the album "Unto the Locust" on Amazon, so I should be getting that sometime soon. I have heard a lot that "The Blackening" is their best album, so I will definitely get that too, but that will wait till later.

Oh, nice! Keep in mind however, that if you want that Rush cover, you'd be ordering the Deluxe Edition. I know, money and stuff.

 

Anyway, The Blackening is typically loved by Thrash people, and thus, not by me. I still like it, but it feels less authentic, and a million times less emotional than anything else they have produced. More of an album to hear, rather than experience if you were to ask me. Still a good album though, the first one that got me into Machine Head.

 

Supercharger was pretty much the opposite, in that respect. People didn`t like it, because it really does sound horrible, but honestly, I still love it for the effect it gives. Oh, and because Flynn raps in it. Terribly. Heavy feels though!

I decided that the deluxe edition wouldn't be worth the extra money, plus I can just listen to that cover on YouTube if I wanted to.

Well I tend to like thrash metal when I hear it, so I'm sure I would like it.

[Woohoo 33,835]

Gotta keep this thread alive... gotta keep this thread alive...

 

Anyway, I'm still listening to a lot of metal debut albums. Currently I'm listening to Iron Maiden by... well, Iron Maiden.

 

Eddie is staring into your soul...

[Champion RD92 8,658]

So I think this is officially one of my favorite songs on Parallax II:

 

 

And I also listened to Leviathan again, and it was pretty good, so yeah

It's really, really hard to keep this thread alive while the forums have been so dead these past few days.

 

Anyway, some Megadeth...

[Champion RD92 8,658]

So I got a few new metal CDs today, so I might as well post some stuff from them.

 

Ember to Inferno - Trivium

 

 

United Abominations - Megadeth

The End of Heartache - Killswitch Engage

Been gone for a few days. My drive for metal has been dangerously low as of late.

 

Always time for a little Veil of Maya though, right?

I agree.

welcome back bby

 

I also finally got around to looking at Burn the Priest, which is pretty much Lamb of God's self-titled album before they changed names to... Lamb of God.

 

Love how incomprehensible Randy Blythe was at that time. Charmingly incomprehensible, that is.

[Soundgarden 2,758]

I really dislike anything Folk related. I never understood why it doesn't appeal to me, but I really like this album. I know, it's actually Progressive Metal, but it got Folk Metal influences, so... perhaps it's the Prog feeling that appeals to me?

@,

 

It's hard to find anything that sounds like Wintersun, so the closest you're going to get is probably Ensiferum. Of course I'm just saying that because Jari did the vocals on the early albums. I haven't heard anything that's even close to Wintersun.

 

 

Time got delayed so much, but I still wasn't disappointed with it. I just hope Time II doesn't take nearly as long as the first one took to make.

 

[Treeboy 418]

I don't listen to too much symphonic metal. The closest I come to that other than Wintersun is Ne Obliviscaris, which is a somewhat far cry from Wintersun, and much more like Opeth (@ and @@Moog, I know you both like Opeth, so if you haven't heard this, get on it). The only similarities between this and "Time I" are the epic feeling you get and the symphonic elements (which there's less of in "Portal of I," but the violin is beautiful all the same).

I've listened to Ne Obliviscaris a bit, they're not a personal favorite as of now, though I've only listened to one or two of their songs, so I'll probably check out more of them and then give out a final opinion on them.
