Recently I've been on a Maiden binge.

2015 is shaping up to be one of the great years in heavy metal. New Nightwish. New Cradle Of Filth. New Symphony X. New Helloween. New Fear Factory. New Lamb Of God. New Soulfly. New Disturbed. New Slayer. New Megadeth. New Anthrax. New Iron Maiden. We've got the making of "Metal Allegiance." AKA, Nuclear Blast records all star project, which stars most of the bands I've listed.

 

And now, New 5FDP.

 

[Denim&Venöm 16,507]

Hey, check out this homemade metal "documentary". 

[Blackened 512]

Does Guns n' Roses count?

 

 

I've heard a lot of people say that this album sucks. I've not listened to it apart from this one song, but I like it. Is it really as bad as everyone says?

[Denim&Venöm 16,507]

More mighty offerings from the lords at Nuclear Blast. New Children Of Bodom & Soilwork!

 

[Blackened 512]

Fear Factory is at it again.

 

[S.F. 1,560]

So, here I am air-drumming away to one of my favourite melodic-death metal tracks, something from 2002:

 

 

In fact, their album 'Damage Done' is definitely worth a listen if you are into the melo-death genre - I'd rate it up there with the likes of Clayman and Burning Bridges!

 

Enjoy everypony 

[Blackened 512]

 

A truly haunting piece. The melodies around 5:12 and onward are amazing. The whole song has a melancholic feel to it, despite the fact that there's no lyrics. I guess the saddest words are the ones you don't hear.

[S.F. 1,560]

Who feels like moshing?

And a song with Rainbow in the name

May as well share some of the Cult of Luna I've been listening to.

Holy hell, man! I've been looking for a new sludge outfit to try out, and I think I've just found it! Sounds kinda like they bridge the gap between more standard sludge and post-metal. Good stuff!

One of the greatest death metal songs ever written. Between the technicality of the instruments, the lyrics to this song stand out the most. They are absolutely enthralling, meaningful and deep. A lot of death metal songs tend to be "KILL EVERYONE DEATH IS COOL" (which I have no problem with, but that's not quite the point), but the lyrics in this song tell a story. Here is an excerpt:

 

 

 

It came from dismal shadows

Creeping, sudden, from behind.
fell upon my merry whistle
darkened me at heart and sight.
Back with me, one again with the memory
Again I behold the ruins
that I left when I was all devoured by wrath.

Last night out in the timber
A thousand torrents’ vehemence
came rushing through my veins
Up my throat and filled the eyes,
And then that I knew
all pain will be undone
When I pack my bags
And depart for lonely roads

 

Merely hours passed
that I had left him to his mountains
his colossal idols - one for every spear in me.
Slopes so steep,
I could not conquer in a lifetime.
Now they're all but ruins,
Ruins I left behind.

 

Just pure beauty in written form.

Dudes & Dudettes! Update from the fronts of Nuclear Blast! The first single from the label wide collab "Metal Allegiance" has been released! 
 

 
featuring the talents of:
 
Chuck Billy (Testament, Dublin Death Patrol) on Vocals

Alex Skolnick (Testament, Alex Skolnick trio) on lead & rhythm guitars

David Ellefson (Megadeth) on Bass

Mike Portnoy (The Winery Dogs, Adrenaline Mob, Ex-Dream Theater, Ex-Avenged Sevenfold) on Drums

Phil Demmel (Machine Head, Technocracy, Ex-Vio-lence) on lead guitar

Andreas Kisser (Sepultura) on lead guitar

 
Sounds a bit too much like Testament, but since when is that ever a bad thing?
 
I am very much looking forward to this, as Nuclear Blast is home to just about every thrash band on earth, every other power metal band in Europe, and some of the biggest names in black & death metal. The combinations we'll be hearing will be glorious. This is just the tip of the iceberg my friends.
 
Stay tuned. Edited July 15, 2015 by Denim&Venom

Loving this. I can't say I'd hate anything with Phil Demmel involved.

[NeonTheChangeling 91]

  anyone remember the band GWAR?.

[Midnight Scribbler 1,705]

@,

Seen them live 4 times, and would go again hands down. They never charge more than $35/ticket, and they put on a better show than most. Worth every penny.

 

Also I haven't been around much lately, so I'll drop a heavy one for you. Enjoy.

George Kollias is one of the fastest death metal drummers out there. The only problem is that he loses accuracy when he goes faster.

Haha, I one had a friend who was adamant that Slip Knot were the heaviest band in the world, I showed him that song and he soon changed his tune   .

 

Speaking of drummers, Gene (the atomic clock) Holgan is another solid drummer - not as mad as Kolas, but he is pretty damn accurate!

I used to be one of those "Slipknot is the most br00t4l bands evur" people as well.  

 

Also, SYL is a great band. If only they were still together...

I know, I miss Devin's Skullet-wearing days - the DTP just isn't quite the same!

[Discordian 6,013]

More Falconer love from me.

Honestly I'm surprised I had never heard of them before I got into them. Their guitarwork is godly with the really heavy distortions most metal I've heard seems to stay away from and still manage to not sound too garage.

 

The voice feels like silky leather to my ears. Another one of those vocalists who really know how to use their voice and have a lot of control over it.

Man I really need to stay on top of my metal! Nekrogoblikon has had a new album out for a month now!

I just discovered Nekrogoblikon about a month ago. Haven't listened much yet but they surprised me. I expected screechy crap but I actually got a lot of melody in there that pulled the whole thing together.

Y'know, I'm not an especially big fan of the DTP, to me it's just alright/good, I haven't listened to enough to really appreciate it yet somehow I've seen them live 5 times. I've seen them with Meshuggah in London, Supported by Perphery in Bristol, at Download 2012, I saw the Retinal Circus streamed and Devin did a signing and acoustic set in a record shop. He's just the nicest, funniest guy and I absolutely love him.

 

He just keeps popping up in my life.

Anyone got any good gigs coming up? I'm seeing:

 

Deftones at Wembly 21/11

SikTh in Bristol 10/12

The Darkness in Bristol 13/12

 

If funds, tickets and transport are available I might try and catch Sepultura, Slayer and Apocalyptica.
