Brandt new Meshuggah. 

 

[daviddaviddavid 772]

Not the biggest fan of black metal, but been really into this band lately. Abbath is the only guitarist I've ever heard who can make it sound like three guitarists are playing in a band at once, when in fact it's just one.

 

 

[Denim&Venöm 16,523]

Something something character limit

[Miss 6,211]

Listened to Our Endless War by Whitechapel (full album)

and gotta be honest wasn't too big on it. After the first two songs (not including the intro) pretty heard everything imo (those first two songs are incredible). Not too much variability in the album. The songs begin to meld together.

tho psychopathy was pretty great

I've been listening to this album a lot over the last few weeks. Every song this band puts out is amazing.

 

[Miss 6,211]

Mudvayne fans check it

 

[daviddaviddavid 772]

Super stoked for Decapitated's new album, if this track is anything to go by.

 

 

[daviddaviddavid 772]

I remember hearing this Swiss metalcore band for the first time when I was 15 and thinking they'd become big some day. 10 years later and their debut single only has 7K views on YouTube so I suppose I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about. Still think they are a very underrated band though, wanted to share this one purely out of my own nostalgia.

 

In happier news, The Halo Effect released a new song and it's amazing. One of the signs of a great guitarist is that you can instantly recognise when it is them playing, and anyone familiar with 'the Gothenburg sound' could pinpoint Jesper Strömblad's guitar melodies in this from a mile off. To me this band are everything post-2005 In Flames should've been. Super excited for their debut album.

New official Linkin Park remixes are out:

 

[Denim&Venöm 16,523]

Hey.

You ever wondered what a Linkin Park x Lamb Of God collab would've sounded like? 

 

[Denim&Venöm 16,523]

Hey.

Canadian thrash. 

 

[ExplosionMare 18,007]

This gets a little metal near the end if that counts:

 

[Props Valroa 26,051]

American Metal has not quite been a thing I am into. Only for certain moods, most of the time it feels like it is trying too hard. I prefer non-American music instead.

[Denim&Venöm 16,523]

Hey.

Brand new Blind Guardian. 

 

[Denim&Venöm 16,523]

Shame it took me 5 years to discover these guys. 

 

[ZiggWheelsManning 7,373]

Tool - Invincible  

Amazed by the word "warrior" in this song  

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,152]

I'm going to give a shoutout to the Italian symphonic/folk/power metal band Black Corsair. This is by far the best symphonic power metal with folk/neoclassical leanings I've heard since classic Rhapsody of Fire (when Turilli, Staropoli, and Lione were still the big three there) and that is saying a LOT!

 

[Brony Number 42 9,933]

Here's a new band.

 

[Denim&Venöm 16,523]

It took them 6 years but we finally have brand new Megadeth!
