Me likes it. I found Vengeance Falls kind of underwhelming but I like this song. I'm just happy that they constantly evolve.

While on the subject, whenever someone mentions Trivium this always comes to mind:

 

 

When I first heard the chorus riff I was like: "Yes, this is...yes, all my yes"

 

Still, to mix things up a bit - how about something French???

Whenever I hear that chorus, I only hear the words "BOAT, RUDDER, STRANGE MOUNTAIN".

Makes me think of this In Flames song:

Aerosmith did metal, back in the day.  What they've become might be pop-like today, but they used to sound like THIS:

Coincidentally, the first time I ever heard Gojira was when they supported Trivium for their UK tour in 2007. My first ever gig.

 

Also that song is friggin' heavy!

Aha, I didn't even know they had toured together in the past XD

 

It is definitely good head banging material!

Yep, great gig. It was Trivium supported by Annihilator, Gojira and Sanctity. I was 14. Annihilator did a ticket signing in the lobby afterwards. Awesome times.

I've been listening to a lot of Mastodon lately. If Rush was a metal band, they'd sound like this.

Here's a band I had almost forgotten about until a couple days ago when I looked through my favorites list. This one goes out to all the prog metal lovers.

Not really metal, but Devin Townsend's acoustic version of Hyperdrive is lovely.

Today, I listened to the album All That Remains by Fozzy. Great album; here's one of my favourite tracks.

Such a great song by an amazing band.

[Denim&Venöm 18,829]

Welp. Here's some new disturbed. Tell me what you think.

I have to admit, this is a bit of an odd one. Doesn't really sound like the type of subject matter or mood Disturbed usually goes for. As for the song itself, it's rather meh. This and The Vengeful One haven't impressed me all that much. So if this is the general sound of things, I'm probably gonna skip this.

I love Disturbed (including the songs that have been released from this album so far), but I really don't like this one. Easily the band's worst song...

Not one of the better days

Nighttime, turn around

Lonely is the city tonight

Nighttime, all around

Lonely in the city tonight

 

Grey people stare at a static sky (as you will)

Ours is not to question why

 

Same thing, every time

It always seems to need what I'm not

To all the hopeful ones:

Nobody gives a fuck what you've got

 

I only wish that I could pray to god

(but you will)

Stay longer

Please don't leave me alone

 

Bastard, mother, father, no...

Time passed quicker than you will ever know

And they can push me harder

But you know I'll never go

And they will justify it, but you know

It will take them slow

 

[2] The girl from blue city

The lights from across the harbour

And the boys are out on the corners

Sex in the neon basements (red and smelly)

And don't feel a thing (it's too cold to worry)

So in the corner by the dock

Where there's no light

It smells like piss but no one knows

And right now just to sleep would be alright

 

...Feel old, gone where the feelings go

...Gone now in a field of green

Gone where feelings go...

Today is Max Cavalera's birthday! Have some great works by this man!

I believe this would belong here.

Disturbed have put out another song from their upcoming album Immortalized.

I can safely say that it sounds a lot better than the abomination that was Fire It Up.

Today, Los Angeles industrial metallers Fear Factory have released their ninth studio album and their first to be released under the Nuclear Blast record label, Genexus. The band still has their groove metal roots, but this time, they've incorporated some elements of djent, as evidenced by Dino Cazares' staccato guitar playing, often matched with Mike Heller's drum patterns.

 

The album starts out with the heavy-hitting track Autonomous Combat System, which shows what the band is all about: hard groove metal riffs mixed with heavenly melodies. As stated earlier, this album has more of a djent feel to it, mostly heard in the title track and Soul Hacker, the album's lead single. 20+ years in their career later, the band has shown that age does not matter, as they have not lost any edge they once had previously. The industrial elements are still strong; there's plenty of effects and synths all around the record, especially in the final track, Expiration Date. The band decides to take a breather here and soften down a fair bit. It starts out with guitar harmonics that fade in, followed by some low bass notes. The drums in this track are replaced with electronic percussion, rather than a typical drum set.

 

Overall, great album. Half of the album has some fast-paced metal anthems, and others slow down a fair bit and focus more on grooves. The last track is nothing like the others. I like the variety that this album has to offer.

 

RATING: 8.5/10
