Heavy Metal Thunder.

[d*r*j*]

I decided to pre-order the new Soulfly album "omen", it comes out in May but if you pre-order then 'limited quantities' are autographed by the band. I cannot be bothered finding the link... but there should be one at www.myspace.com/soulfly

Anyways... thought I'd open a metal thread as there seems to be a few metalheads around this forum. Maybe we can get some diverse discussion going about heavy music?

[5FDP]

Let me be the first to say - what an awesome idea for a discussion :D

New Soulfly album eh... might have to check this out. I already have a signed copy of an album (could have been the Oz tour exclusive which I believe came out between the Soulfly and Primitive releases).

Met Max when they toured early 2000's. One of the nicest people I have met. I expected him to shout at me, but instead he is very softly spoken.

[1AZRAEL1]

Metal is the way, nuff said :p

Anyway, not much of a fan of Soulfly, I prefer Sepultura Chaos AD and back. Arise is a brilliant album IMO. Ah the good ol days, when I used to go to some gig in Sydney every weekend. :p

I did see Soulfly when they last came out (I think) when Gigantour was out in 2006ish

Coincidentaly, I am starting a Death Metal band here in Sydney soon (me on vocals of course :D) if any Sydneysiders are interested in starting something up.

Oh and do you guys like Dethklok? :D

Nice. Good luck man. A good mate of mine is the lead vocalist in a metal band here in Sydney. They're called Psycho Sapien.

Never heard of Dethklok. Who are they similar to?

[d*r*j*]

The 'Tribe' ep. Any chance of a picture?

I went to an instore in '99 I think. The response to Soulfly was massive and Max seemed a little overwhelmed.

Why would he shout at you? what did you do?

[1AZRAEL1]

Bands are hard to start, I was in one a while back, but long since dead that one lol. Did record 2 demos, second one I still have copies of :D

Haven't heard of Psycho Sapien, but then again, I have been outta the scene for quite some time now. Can't afford to go out much anymore, damn mortgage :p


Never heard of Dethklok. Who are they similar to?

Dethklok are an imaginary band (well not really, they have 2 albums lol) but they are the band in the show "Metalocalypse" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalocalypse). If you haven't seen it, check it out, deadset funny stuff. Heaps of get voices from Emperor, Metallica, Nevermore, King Diamond, Cannibal Corpse... the list goes on.

[d*r*j*]

I prefer Sepultura Chaos AD and back. Arise is a brilliant album IMO.

What did you think of the Cavalera Conspiracy album?

[1AZRAEL1]

What did you think of the Cavalera Conspiracy album?

From what I have heard, not overly impressed ay. I was excited when I heard the Cavalera's were doing a project together, but got a bit let down when it was released.

[5FDP]

The 'Tribe' ep. Any chance of a picture?

That might be the one. Yeah, I'll try and remember tonight when I get home.


Why would he shout at you? what did you do?

What I meant by that was I'm just used to hearing him on stage and expected him to have a deeper voice than what he had :p

Really? I got it last week and to my ears it's great straight up metal. It's probably a little less 'serious' than Arise or Chaos AD but it's pretty damn good. For $15 at jb (and even less online) I just think you can't go wrong.

On that note, I may give it another go. If I like it, I will buy it.

korn disturbed rammstein

First heavy band I got into, then discovered a wide world of some killer music. Still my music taste is changing, but will always remember the stuff I started on. Their last album was a vast improvement from the previous albums, though it will never beat Herzeleid or Sehnsuct for me. :D

[d*r*j*]

korn disturbed rammstein

Yeah I worked as security at GOO around 2001-2002 and those bands were very popular at the time. Not really my cup of tea in terms of personal taste, but very atmospheric and huge sounding... good times.

[5FDP]

For those metal-heads here, what was it that first got you into metal?

For me, it was buying a magazine called Massive and they listed the top 100 albums you have to hear before you die. I bought some, and then it snowballed from there :D

Of course, I was into metal before then (having seen Metallica in 1993) but having been exposed to a wider variety of bands, I was power-hooked :rolleyes:

If I had to come up with my top 5 metal albums of all-time, it would probably look like this -

Metallica: Black Album
Sepultura: Arise
Skinlab: Disembody - The New Flesh
Nothingface: Violence
Five Finger Death Punch: The Way Of The Fist

[1AZRAEL1]

Easy one for me. My German teacher in Year 7 put on Rammstein's video Engel. Got into them, then my brother showed me a video of an Aussie band Alchemist doing a cover of Eve Of The War. Hands down the single most awesome piece of Classical music covered by a metal band ever. Saw them not long after that when they toured the east coast with a couple of now defunct bands. Had the sorest neck after the first couple of bands, but when Alchemist got on and did this song, I got back up again to mosh like a mofo lol. My neck ended up being like jelly after that night :p

All time favourite albums, a bit hard for me to choose just 5, but I will give it a shot in no particular order

International

Tyr - Eric The Red
Immortal - Battles in the North/Blizzard Beasts/At The Heart Of Winter
Hypocrisy - Hypocrisy
Behemoth - The Apostasy
Children Of Bodom - Something Wild

Local

Alchemist - Organasm
Dungeon - Rise To Power/One Step Beyond
Aeturnus Dominion - (first album I can't remember off top of my head :o)
Ruins - Spun Forth As Dark Nets
Furor - Advance Australia Warfare


Had to do 2 separate lists :p

[d*r*j*]

My doorway into metal was guns'n'roses. At first I got them taped by an older family friend, then I got the cds... pretty much in the order they were released. I remember when I was 12/13 and did a paper round with my walkman playing gnr full blast.

Then of course came Metallica, and Metallica banging on about a few bands and then the floodgates were pretty much opened.

Now it's pretty sparse... don't buy that much new music. Still collect Blood Duster stuff and will pick up the new Soulfly for my collection. Maybe the new Danzig when it comes and the new album Slash has just put out. That's about it.

Top 5 metal albums...

International;

Sepultura - Roots
Soulfly - Soulfly
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Pantera - Great Southern Trendkill
Danzig - Danzig II: Lucifuge

Local

Blood Duster - C__t
Damaged - Do Not Spit
Mindsnare - The Death
Beanflipper - garden variety manic depressant
Blood Duster - Blood Duster

I got an Alchemist demo from France the other week, cost me 1.50 Euro and the postage was 6 Euro (I was the only bidder) great tape!

[gamblor916]

As a child of the 80's it was hair metal all the way. I didn't really discover new stuff until I started listening to 3 Hours of Power then Full Metal Racket on Triple J. Then along came internet radio and Snake Metal Radio opened up a whole new world of metal.

My faves in no particular order:

Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God/Fate of Norns
Mercyful Fate - Melissa
Carcass - Heartwork
In Flames - Subterranean
Kalmah - The Black Waltz/For the Revolution

Plus throw in some Maiden, Arch Enemy, Wintersun, Vader, Children of Bodom, Kreator... the list goes on.

[5FDP]

The 'Tribe' ep. Any chance of a picture?

How could I forget Amon Amarth, TOTTG is brilliant as well as FAN. All their albums are I would say :p And Mercyful Fate/King Diamond :p Like you said, the list goes on.

3 Hours Of Power was great, I listened to that alot as well (even got my voice on radio one night :D)

I never really bothered with the re-release of Jar of Kingdom as I had the original cd... but I believe these tracks are on the re-release.

I really like demos from around this time and only really bid as a means of watching the auction, was surprised when no-one else bid.

[1AZRAEL1]

Almost pretty sure I have that one. Jar of Kingdom, I heve neither the original or the re-release, haven't been able to spot it for a while.

[d*r*j*]

Almost pretty sure I have that one. Jar of Kingdom, I heve neither the original or the re-release, haven't been able to spot it for a while.

Really? Well the original was released in Austria and so there aren't that many copies... but the re-release flooded the shops when it came out (well as much as any Alchemist cd can) and if I remember right, was discounted pretty heavily by jb hi-fi. The re-release should definately be in secondhand shops quite regularly.

[5FDP]

3 Hours Of Power was great, I listened to that alot as well (even got my voice on radio one night :D)

Is it still going? I haven't listened to the radio in ages.

I miss the days when Channel V had Amped and the Heavy Shift. Got a lot of ideas on who to listen to from those shows.

[1AZRAEL1]

Yea it is still going, but it changed to Full Metal Racket, and now I think it is just "The Racket" I haven't listened to it in ages as well, but you can listen to it for the next week on the net, which I used to do regularly.

Metal has kind of been pushed back underground, not many shows have metal on them anymore. Though there are still alot of the more commercial bands being flogged on MTV these days. I prefer not to watch that anymore because it doesn't appeal to my tastes anymore. Like I said, more "commercial" stuff.

[5FDP]

Metal has kind of been pushed back underground, not many shows have metal on them anymore.

I know. It's disappointing when all the music channels show are untalented no-names that can't play an instrument or hold a note to save their life.

I have a few episodes of Amped recorded on ye 'ol VHS format and they used to play some good, non-commercial type stuff.

Peter Steele from Type O Negative is apparentley died of Heart Failure (http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=138511). I hope this is just one of their silly pranks again :(:(:(:(

Wow, I hope he's not :eek:

What's really weird is that I only just dug out some of their old stuff 2 days ago to listen to.

[1AZRAEL1]

What's really weird is that I only just dug out some of their old stuff 2 days ago to listen to.

They have played a joke like this before, I doubt they would do it again.

I recentley dug out their cds as well and was listening to them all one after the other for the last few weeks at work. Over and over lol. Their earlier stuff (off October Rust and World Coming Down, ok not that early but still :p) got me through some hard times. Would be a real shame if he has shed his mortal coil, I always hoped they would tour Australia.

[Hursticon]

This is indeed bad news if true. Though I'm not heavily into Type-O-Negative I do like the song Electrocute.

At any rate, Metal doesn't need another of it's legends passing, though I suppose that age catches us all in the end. :(

[1AZRAEL1]

Dammit dammit dammit, from what it appears, the rumors be true. He was only 48. Rest easy brother, Dime is up there waiting for ya :(

[Hursticon]

I'm sorry to hear this news, 1AZRAEL1 I know that Type-O-Negative is one of your favourites dude :(, I know it's unlikely to be seen but my condolences to his family.

[d*r*j*]

It occurs to me that the last Type o Negative album I own is 2003's 'life is killing me'.. I never even gave the new one a listen. Is it any good?

[Hursticon]

Thought I might post this to hopefully boost members morale after the untimely death of Peter Steele, Ozzy Osbourne's newest single 'Let Me Hear You Scream' from his upcoming album 'Scream' due for release on June 15th via Epic Records:

I haven't got Dead Again, but Life is Killing Me is awesome IMO.

Sad thing is, it has been confirmed :(
Man yet another band I will never get to see. Man I haven't been hit this hard since Dimes death :(

I hope I will still be able to enjoy the gig tonite.

[d*r*j*]

I haven't got Dead Again, but Life is Killing Me is awesome IMO.

I ordered Dead Again today. Got the red version for $18 shipped. Kind of like when people went out and brought all of Michael Jackson's cds after his death.

[1AZRAEL1]

Yea I believe there will be a spike in sales, I will be buying the albums I don't have as well.

[1AZRAEL1]

Well Behemoth were good, really enjoyed there set. All in all a good night to be had (and dead tired after it :p)

Metallica finally coming to Oz in November, but I hope tix don't sell out before I get to buy some this time.

That's awesome news. I haven't seen them live since 1997.

I'm still waiting for Skinlab (http://www.myspace.com/skinlab) to announce their tour dates.

[gamblor916]

I'm getting Metallica tickets (or plan to) for Sydney and my brother is going to get Melbourne tickets. Basterd has seen them twice already, while I just heard how awesome it was.

[1AZRAEL1]

Yea I should be getting tix, but they sold out really quick last time, and I have no money to get them this time :(

I reckon it will be about the $150 mark

Ronnie James Dio has passed away (http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=140129), the stomach cancer finally claimed his life. RIP

Another sad day in the world of metal :(

[Hursticon]

Indeed another blow to the Metal Community.

Though I am not a fan of Dio era Sabbath, The Heaven and Hell band though was certainly a Demon worthy of my ears and my first proper dose of Dio.

Whether one liked him him or not, his contribution to Metal for the better part of 30+ years cannot be denied and from all the Interviews I've seen of him he seemed to be a very gentle, welcoming & intelligent man.

Rest in Peace Ronnie James Dio, you will remain in the Collective Pulsing Heart of Metal fans everywhere and as one of the Father-In-Laws of Metal, you will be missed...

I've read from The Bible Black.

[gamblor916]

RIP Ronnie James :(

[1AZRAEL1]

Man it's amazing to see the outpouring of musicians and fans alike in a time like this. The whole metal community comes together in such a situation, I suppose because everyone had respect for him, and has affected everyone in one way or another.

I for one did not get into Dio much, but I had respect for him for what he achieved and brought to music. He is up there with the greats and he will live on through his music, legends never die.

You know with all the musicians that I have looked up to and respected over the years that have passed on, I have been writing a song in dedication. Dio will have to be added to the list now.

[d*r*j*]

I definately played Black Sabbath's 'Heaven and Hell' when I found out. But I'm not that much of a Dio fan.

I did get Dead Again and it's a pretty strong Type o Negative album. The album has many death orientated themes and every listen has given me a reaction of deep sadness. Would recommend this album to anybody into any of Peter Steele's work. I will miss him.

[1AZRAEL1]

I am all for tolerance, but this is downright disrespectful for these religious fanatics To Picket RONNIE JAMES DIO's Public Memorial Service (http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=140446)

I can see bloodshed from metalheads if they did (and honestly I would probably be one of them if I was there)

It's one thing to hide behind a computer and say bad things about someone who has just died, it is a completely different thing to picket his memorial service.

Please note I am not trying to start anything on here, just trying to point out how wrong this is to those that have not seen it.

[Demonac]

Having your memorial service picketed by those morons is like a badge of honour.

[1AZRAEL1]

To them, maybe, but to the majority of people with respect for others own opinions would disagree.

[Hursticon]

It is for this reason, amongst many, why I am glad I don't reside in America as this sort of thing seems to be allowed all too often.

I mean, what happened a person's right to have a memorial in peace?

I'm going to bite my forked tongue at this time as I am well aware of the rules and that there are people here who exercise their right to believe in what they wish, but sometimes it becomes very mentally and physically strenuous when holding back a torrent of ill will towards those who feel it is their right and duty to force their will and ideals upon those who want NO part of it.

A Judgement Day is indeed coming, although I don't believe it will be in my time, but it will certainly surprise those who backwardly and archaically misinterpret ancient teachings.

I sincerely hope that Ronnie's Memorial isn't tainted by violence but I hope that all keep this in mind: "Do onto others as you'd have done onto you".

[1AZRAEL1]

Not that I am a fan, but another passing in the metal world Slipknot bassist found dead in hotel (http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/slipknot-bassist-found-dead-in-hotel-20100525-w8jv.html)

[5FDP]

You're not a fan of Slipknot :eek:

I love Slipknot. Seen them when they first came to Oz and met the whole band. They even signed a poster for me that my dad almost threw out when I moved out of home and got married :mad: Luckily, my wife came to the same show and had a signed poster as well.

If it becomes a regular thing, I would definitely be interested. Fan meet :D

Sorry, I found about it late as well :p

If it does become a regular thing, I will let you know. Wasn't a bad turnout, roughly 60 odd people through the door. for a thursday night, that's pretty good.

Indeed, tell us what you mean? who are considered the big 4? Sabbath?

[1AZRAEL1]

The Big 4 are the 4 big thrash bands of the 80's which are Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer, Metallica. They just played a show in Poland, and there was talks of taking it worldwide.

After all the crap that went on between Mustaine and Metallica, and Mustaine and Slayer, it's a welcomed suprise to see them play together.

[5FDP]

Ahhh... those BIG 4 ;) That would be an awesome show, but I agree, it would cost a fortune. Any idea how much tix are selling for in Poland?

[1AZRAEL1]

Some tix were $126.11 - $276.23ea, so it would be quite a bit here. I think it was for a festival called Sonisphere.

[Hursticon]

Though I don't condone it, seeing those 4 bands at the one show would've been the next closest thing to actually taking the drug. :p

Man that would've been an awesome show, your right though 1AZRAEL1, the tickets would cost a small fortune over here. :(

Nah, it was just a big soap opera, not that big a deal. Mustaine did write an album and a half to get Metallica started, so he was a bit jealous of their success... but it means nothing, was just the magazine culture of the time. Metallica also got into a war of the words with Slayer, and Slayer with Sepultura. It's like WWF(or E if you are gen Y!) trash talk... almost scripted.

It's something a lot of big metal bands are realising (Ozzy, Megadeth and Slayer spring to mind), Australia is a neglected market that can become a license to print money.

Hair Guitar are a covers band that play 80's and 90's rock/metal songs, Alice Cooper, Motley Crue, KISS, AC/DC, Bon Jovi just to name a few. And I am under the impression that this will be there last show, as they have not scheduled any more dates. Normally they have at least 6 months worth. Maybe they are hanging up the wigs :p

I should be there earlier than 10pm anyway if anyone wants to rock up.

What a crock, they're not touring. They're selling tickets showing an eastern European show in selected theatres "streamed live".

Yea I know. There are murmurs though, but I wouldn't count on it actually coming to fruition.

[1AZRAEL1]

What's the date?

Oh yea, I forgot that part :p

17th July.

Nah I missed it unfortunately. I was up in the mountains the night before and had to work the next day as well. Really wanted to go because they had a great lineup.

Metallica, Queen, U2, Beatles, Bob Marley, GNR, AC/DC hahaha

Metallica ones sound pretty cool as well.

[gamblor916]

I love it when I discover a new old band I've never heard of before. Came across Ceremonial Oath, sounds kinda like an early In Flames.
They also do a nice cover of a Maiden classic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIYkK1jRZkQ&feature=related)

Great feeling isn't it?

I bought some $2 dvds from Go-Lo that were called Rockthology. Only managed to find a few volumes, but they has some interesting stuff on them. Like an interview with White Zombie around the La Sexorcisto era, and a few interviews with Halford and Priest. Ozzy, Exodus, even a band called Vio-Lence which I recognised Rob Flynn and Phil Demmel from Machine Head in the band. Great stuff to watch. But the best is anything with God aka Lemmy, he always tells it straight, no BS from him.

Just mentioning the Soulfly and City of Fire tour here as well so it doesn't get lost in the other topic for those that are interested.

One of the best pieces of news in a while. (for me anyway)

Snowy Shaw has joined Dimmu Borgir as Bassist/Clean Vocalist. I am psyched about this. Snowy is an awesome musician on any instrument. Can't wait for the new album. Sad to see Vortex go, because he is an amazing singer, but I am interested to see what Snowy can do.

I just pray that 3rd time lucky they come out to Australia on tour.

Another member change? - They're getting as bad as Static-X ;)
Should be interesting to hear what sort of an effect this new bloke has on the overall sound of Dimmu Burger :p, but I'm with you on wanting to see them live on a tour out here 1AZRAEL1. :D

[1AZRAEL1]

Yea but I can see where they were coming from when they fired Vortex though. Snowy is a great vocalist, but I don't know if he will be able to hit the same notes as Vortex. If you want to check out some of singing capabilities, check out a band called Notre Dame. Strange but good. He also did some vocals for Therion on their last album Gothic Kabaala. Good album that as well.

Well that was short lived, Snowy has left Dimmu to rejoin Therion. That's jus weird :confused:

[1AZRAEL1]

Shit, on a really sad note, Nergal of Behemoth has been sick recently and has just been revealed he has leukemia for which he is in urgent need of a bone marrow transplant. :(

I hope he pulls through it, they are a great band on cd and to see live.

[Hursticon]

Damn! that WAS quick!?
Either Therion made him an offer that he couldn't refuse or Dimmu weren't happy with first impressions?

I'm sorry to hear that dude, I know quite a few like the band and even use it to describe some people... :p

Got my soulfly tickets... also got tickets to the b*stardfest at the corner hotel, Blood Duster and Mindsnare are playing! Should be a great trip down memory lane with pretty much my all time favorites.

[5FDP]

Had a customer meeting in the city yesterday and took a taxi to get back to work after. The cabbie was playing Zero Order Phase from NEVERMORE guitarist Jeff Loomis. Had the best time ever in a taxi. He even offered me the CD to keep (which I declined). What a champ!

TREMBLE BEFORE THE MIGHTY GWAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!!!! haha

Can't believe it, but they are coming to Oz in December. Some festival called No Sleep Til (http://www.nosleeptil.com.au/)

I really hope they do a sideshow, I don't know if I could be bothered to go to a festival when they are pretty much the only band I want to see.

[1AZRAEL1]

Discovered some cool new stuff.

Fireball Ministry - Doom/Heavy Metal, great stuff, sounds Sabbathy and the singer sounds a bit like Ozzy as well :p

Drudkh - Folk/Black Metal, nuff said.

[1AZRAEL1]

Looking likely that Rammstein will have a side tour. They have long dates between each date for BDO in each city. Fingers crossed.

[1AZRAEL1]

Well looking at the dates of BDO, it's like this

23.1 QLD
26.1 NSW
30.1 VIC
04.2 SA
06.2 WA

It looks more than likely they will do more shows to make it worth while travelling out here. They did when they were out in 2001, so more than likely they will do it again.

It is indeed, I know how much the both of us have been wanting to see Rammstein since Year 7, will be great.

I got the same feeling when I found out Immortal were coming to Australia, I knew before it was announced. Then when I saw Immortal, man that was one of the best feelings. And then meeting them, man I was so overwhelmed. Meeting your idols is something jsut awesome. I got to chat to Abbath after the signing, and a photo with him (which I don't know where it is) and Demonaz patted me on the shoulder because I said I really liked his side project, named Demonaz :p

Probably the single greatest week I have had, same week that Ozzy was out :D

I still don't know how you managed to survive both gigs!, weren't they like a day apart? :eek:

keep me updated !! will def go to rammstien:cool:

Next years BDO is definitely shaping up to be stellar. Deftones, Tool, and Rammstein makes me very excited in my pants :eek: :D

Would love to see Tool again. They are close to my favourite live band.

Judas Priest have announced that after 40 years, they are calling it a day. One final world tour. I will be going to this for sure.

[5FDP]

This seems to be the year for final tours. I reckon after 40 years, they've earned their rest.

They have been going for a long time and went through some bad stuff with the 'Subliminal Messages", they deserve a break. I don't think Halford will stop though, he will probably continue with his solo stuff.

As for Disturbed, doubt I'll go, but my missus probably will :p

I have my ticket to see IRON MAIDEN at Soundwave next year- cant wait!

I have just discovered the funniest thing ever.

Behemoth's Demigod like you have never heard it before (http://www.youtube.com/user/AndyRehfeldt#p/u/34/E92zCs4sWto)

and Cannibal Corpse's Hammer Smashed Face with lyrics you can understand (http://www.youtube.com/user/AndyRehfeldt#p/u/42/C-eYIeUPD0s)

KISS' Detroit Rock City (http://www.youtube.com/user/AndyRehfeldt#p/u/45/N2F5Mi1eCE4) (strangely cool)

Iron Maidens' Trooper (http://www.youtube.com/user/AndyRehfeldt#p/u/14/PJkYGNiBkso) (sounds like elevator music :p)

Slayer's Raining Blood (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrnGP6DVOkg&feature=related)

I was seriously rolling around on the ground listening to the Cannibal Corspe one. And watching the Behemoth one as well, the music just melds with the video to make it bloody hilarious.

[1AZRAEL1]

Any U.D.O. fans here?

I bought a compilation cd the other day, and I gotta say, some of the greatest heavy metal power ballads I have heard in a long time. Cry Soldier Cry is effin awesome. Now I gotta grab the album that song is on (coz I have heard a couple of other songs, and I have got goosebumps lol) Like A Lion and Dancing With An Angel are great songs.

Better yet, I have heard a number of songs off all his albums, I think I am going on a spending spree :p

[Hursticon]

Can anyone help me out?
I'm looking for a group with a bit of a haunting sound to their music - I've just finished watching Nosferatu and the Orchestral Score has left me wanting to listen to some Metal with a Ghostly vibe but yeah - I've got no idea where to start. :o

So far internet radio hasn't helped at all - just the same old thing on 30 odd channels unfortunately. :(

[1AZRAEL1]

King Diamond/Mercyful Fate lol. Pretty good stuff. Like this chilling masterpiece (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc-FJZLMcL0) or this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBChVwjmOSo&feature=related) or this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqcOVzx4CqY&feature=related). Sorry, I been caining MF/KD for the last few weeks, nothing but good stuff IMO.

Other Stuff I found.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zmyf_5DPFvo&feature=related Has some good stuff, check out 1.28, great tune. And 5.37.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNmz7y6HvQw&feature=related at 3.23

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z257Mxxly4w

5.37 I dig - It's amazing how classical string instruments can add an edge to Metal, just a pity the clip doesn't get so far as to the vocals. :p


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNmz7y6HvQw&feature=related at 3.23

3.23 is quite cool and like the above, the Violin just adds a new dimension to their sound, I like the mixed Guttural and Sung vocals too. :)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z257Mxxly4w

This one is quite awesome and I love the Turkish/Middle-Eastern vibe running through it - just a pity I've no idea what they're saying :p, vocals are really good too. ;)

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

The first song is quite good really and whilst the Guttural vocals sort of throw you off initially, you get used to them pretty quickly which unfortunately is the opposite for the second song because... I don't know, I've just got this thing against gutteral vocals at the moment which is weird coz I've got no problem with Dimmu or Cradle but once they start leaning toward Cannibal Corpse too much it just turns me off - like Hardcore. :o
(Oh Hardcore, how I hate thee so :p)

Thanks for the pointers dude - you've always been good for pointing out a band or song, with broad sweeping tastes such as yours is it any wonder? :D
What you've pointed out is close to what I'm looking for but.. hmm...

Take Black Sabbath (The Song) for example: It's got that really haunting and foreboding atmosphere which is closer to what I'm looking for - would I be right in saying that it's more Doom Metal type sounds that I'm looking for?

A great local Doom/Death metal band I like is Lycanthia. Melding Doom and Death metal together, wish harsh vocals, as well as clean classical style female singing and violin and keyboards. I been a fan/friends of theirs for a few years since I seen them 6 years ago. Haven't seen them in a few years though :o

Even though it has nothing to do with our music, it's a cop out to blame any music. When I was a teenager, I listened to SLAYER, the MISFITS, METALLICA — music doesn't make you worship Satan or commit crimes. It's bad parenting, mental problems. If you're going to try and blame it on music, you're fucking ignorant.

Talking about ignorant people blaming Heavy Metal for the bad things that happen, SLIPKNOT, MASTODON Guitarists Dismiss Suggestions Metal Played Part In Arizona Shootings (http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=152596)

Yep, the same bunch of F@#$holes who picketed Dio's Funeral, what's worse is that these 'Christians' tarnish the good name and will of others who follow the Christian faith and enjoy tax exempt status whilst they're doing it! :mad:

Dear Anubis, not more of this crap! - I thought this S@#$ ended in the 80's, early 90's?
(Good.. God! - Choking on my own Rage here! :mad:)

Tipor Gore, meet my friend Sobek...

I'm far behind the times on this, but Bathory, wow.

I had the album Blood On Ice for a long time, my brother had shown it to me a while before, and I loved it. Never really listened to much other than that album. They were the band to bring about Viking Metal. A great song from this ablum is "The Lake (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOvMCkJkjD8&feature=related)" but I found an earlier song of their's called "One Rode To Asa Bay (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDpc-831GPs&feature=related)" Now I gotta go buy this album, and the other ones. Epic songs.

The last 2 albums Nordland I & II were half of a 4 album story that Quorthon was writing, but sadly died (right before my birthday) in 2004 before he could complete it. I will be drinking a stein of mead on his anniversary \m/

[Hursticon]

Haha! - You and your mead! :p:D

[1AZRAEL1]

I just found some Finnish melodeath, except they're from Melbourne! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OW7v0V3uD8s&feature=related)
Awesome stuff, they're just starting out too.

Be'lakor are great, I've been a fan of them for a while. Gotta love local Aussie stuff. There are a few great local bands, if you know where to look.

Something I am psyched about is Demonaz is finally releasing his debut album. Demonaz of Immortal fame, so needless to say I'm gonna buy it. But it is brilliantly atmospheric black metal I suppose is the closest style. Under The Dying Sun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTUT8Ue4cxI&feature=player_embedded) was my single fav song, was released on Myspace years ago, and is a bonus track on the debut.

[5FDP]

Stumbled across this (http://www.youtube.com/user/alexstypes) the other day. These guys have some serious talent. Check out this (http://www.youtube.com/user/alexstypes#p/c/5A95D09A7130B114/1/A73yBJ4U7_Q) vid in particular :cool:

I hope they make it big! I'd pay to see them.

[1AZRAEL1]

Woooo, Alestorm are coming back to Oz in May. This time, I'm not gonna miss it for nothing.

[1AZRAEL1]

Discovered these guys today. German Folk Metal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zbqp3m1gAg&NR=1). Sounds pretty good. This song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwLQKehNNis&feature=related) they do with Doro Pesch is pretty good. I'm really loving Folk Metal these days, something different from most of the rubbish coming out that sounds all the same.

That is... interesting. Sounds like a mix between Soulfly and Rammstein. I agree with you though, it is better than a lot of the stuff coming out lately.

[1AZRAEL1]

Talk about a heavy metal super group.

WHOCARES recording lineup:

* Tony Iommi (BLACK SABBATH) - Guitar
* Ian Gillan (DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH) - Vocals
* Jason Newsted (METALLICA, VOIVOD, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM) - Bass
* Nicko McBrain (IRON MAIDEN) - Drums
* Jon Lord (DEEP PURPLE) - Keyboards
* Mikko "Linde" Lindström (HIM) - Guitar

WHOCARES will release "Out of My Mind" and "Holy Water" on digital download and limited-edition CD single on May 6

I gotta keep an eye out for this.

[1AZRAEL1]

And something else of interest, Devin Townsend Project is coming out later this year. That'd be interesting to see.

[1AZRAEL1]

Death To All But METAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLL!!!!

Woohoo, Steel Panther are playing Soundwave Revolution. Makes me want to go to this finally. Some decent bands so far would be Hellyeah, Devin Townsend and not Steel Panther \m/

[1AZRAEL1]

Not so much heavy metal, but still a great night.

[Hursticon]

Wont be as good as Acca Dacca at the Leaguies! :p
That and I've lost a bit of respect for Angry as of late. :(

[gantz]

Hi thread :)

I have NO IDEA if you guys can assist, but I'm gonna ask anyway.

Ever since the spawn soundtrack, I have had a taste for the type of Industrial music featured on that.

As much as I love that album, it has become a little dated for me, and looking for some more recent stuff...

I downloaded some Dutch darkcore compilation - a little too rough, and not what I thought it would be.

A friend gave me the Apocalypse remix of A Perfect Circle's 'Outsider' recently, which is just phenomenal!!

So any chance you guys to point in the right direction of something similar?

Your thoughts are highly appreciated :D

[1AZRAEL1]

What's on the soundtrack? I can't remember, been that long. All I can remember is Filter :p

[1AZRAEL1]

Wow, quite a few on that list that I know.

Most seem to be heavy metal bands doing collaborations with djs, so it could go either way.

What other bands are you into? I mean, I know a number of industrial bands (Static-X, Rammstein, Knorkator...)

[Tallestblue]

Hey Gantz, I can recommend another Soundtrack,
Queen Of the Damned, it's got the same sort of feel to it with Guys Like Disturbed, Chester Bennington from Linkin Park, Marilyn Manson, Static X and others. It does have more of a Goth feel to it but if you Dig the Spawn soundtrack then you might enjoy QOTD's music.

Please don't watch the film, it's awful but the music is awesome.

[Hursticon]

Hmm...
If KMFDM (http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CB8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kmfdm.net%2F&rct=j&q=KMFDM&ei=EXWuTaCMLpC6ugO9oN2PDw&usg=AFQjCNGs3TCfhiJ6I2rIdojneUFegv6Xzg&sig2=RQgyT5rXn9ZDZUgB9A98eg&cad=rja) is still around you should consider them for sure, hmm...

[gantz]

WOW thank you all SO MUCH for these suggestions :D

Will get on to QOTD sound track and KMFDM and all the other suggestions tonight, shall let you guys know what I think - cant wait!!

Bands I'm into:

NIN
Dead By Sunrise
Does It Offend You Yeah?
Fluke (you should all check out the track 'Snapshot')
Rob Zombie
The Glitch Mob
Orbital; to name a few.

[1AZRAEL1]

NIN are good live.

If you like Rob Zombie, have you checked his old band White Zombie?

[gantz]

As I've been told time and time again :( guess there will never be another chance...

http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhcavegiet1qzmowao1_500.jpg

Yup, love White Zombie. and Rob's most recent was actually a fkn great album to me, can never get enough of 'WHAT?!' and 'Mars Needs Women'

[1AZRAEL1]

As I've been told time and time again :( guess there will never be another chance...

He'll tour again I reckon, just not in the near future.


Yup, love White Zombie. and Rob's most recent was actually a fkn great album to me, can never get enough of 'WHAT?!' and 'Mars Needs Women'

You know, I haven't got his new album yet. Been meaning to pick up the deluxe edition, but always run outta funds when I want it. He is also great live as well :p

[Hursticon]

Yup, love White Zombie. and Rob's most recent was actually a fkn great album to me, can never get enough of 'WHAT?!' and 'Mars Needs Women'

Oh hell yeah, another Zob Rombie fan! :D
I too dig his newest album, it's only Educated Horses that I pretend that doesn't exist. :o:p

I'm not too well schooled on NIN apart from what Trent did for the Quake and Doom series of games, I do like that song where the Video has a pulsating Heart in it - I dig the 90's Alternative Genre. :cool:
It's a pity that every Tom Dick and Harry consider themselves alternative now, they just don't seem to get that what they actually play is called Soft-Cock Rock. ;)

[gantz]

Yo am loving KMFDM, superb!!

Getting onto to the other suggestions now guys - BUT I just rediscovered Stabbing Westward, those guys are SICK!

The track from Duke Nukem A Time To Kill 'The Thing I hate'

The track from Duke Nukem A Time To Kill 'The Thing I hate'

Ah excellent! :D
I thought you might like them as they kinda specialise in that sound that you described. ;)
My favourite KMFDM song is: Juke, Joint, Jezebel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKxosfl1E2g) - It was the marketing song for the original Mortal Kombat movie and the video clip ran before the feature on the old VHS tapes. :D
(I dig the hell out of that screaming Riff during the chorus, man it is awesome! :D)

I loved that PSX game so I'm going to have to check out that track you mentioned to see if it invigorates my memory. :p

Yeah Im grabbing the 2 most recent KMFDM albums to begin with, Greatest Shit and Wurst :)

Just on Zombie for a second, see Im the guy in the group that digs most albums other dudes dont, e.g. Educated Horses, must've been an odd time in my life, but I just loved that album :(

The Stabbing Westward track I was speaking off was from the opening scene of the Duke game.

Also, if you can find it (and in my all-time top 5 albums) Black Labs Technologie, very Industrial and kinda, for want of a better term, dancey.

[1AZRAEL1]

Speaking of Stabbing Westward, my sis was good friends with the singer lol

[gantz]

For real?!?

That is totally so awesome!! Absolute shame they disbanded long ago, the world needs more dedicated /artists/bands.

Music used to have so much more significance :(

[1AZRAEL1]

She even got a song sung to her when they played lol. He has another band, I'd have to ask her what though.

Ah very good, yeah they've been around for ages but there is a very good reason for that. ;)

There is nothing wrong with liking things that others don't dude - In the case of Zombie, the only song I really even liked on that record was the title track and because I only really liked 1 song off of it I tend to just forget about the whole thing. :o
I found his 1st 2 and Latest Albums to be far more consistent in quality and writing but that is purely my opinion, don't let that stop you from enjoying Educated Horses. :cool:

Holy crap, just hit up The Stabbing Westward - The Thing I Hate on Youtube, man what a blast from the past! :eek::D
(That is a really good track!)

[Hursticon]

Hell yeah, Blasting Sehnsucht! :D:D:D

Haha yea I posted some of these a while back. Classic stuff. Love the Bosa Nova version of The Trooper (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJkYGNiBkso&feature=related), great for elevator music.

My fav still has to be the Behemoth Disney song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E92zCs4sWto) :p

[1AZRAEL1]

That's so cute lol

[Hursticon]

It's awesome huh? - Dimebag would be very teary-eyed I reckon. ;)

[1AZRAEL1]

Speaking of Dimebag, a previously unreleased song Featuring DIMEBAG, PHILIP ANSELMO, SEAN YSEULT Posted Online (http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=160866) which I will listen to when I get home.

On another note, those who love dirty rock & roll in the vein of Motorhead and Monster Magnet should check this out (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fjqxnz-EUCs). Chrome Division, great band, and I like the new singer as well as the old singer.

[5FDP]

The new Five Finger Death Punch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Finger_Death_Punch) album (due September) now has a title - "American Capitalist". The first single "Under And Over It" will debut online on July 27th.

I don't think I need to state my excitement over this :D

[1AZRAEL1]

I don't think I need to state my excitement over this :D

I think you do :p

Always great to have a new release of your favourite band, I was the same when I heard Immortal were releasing a new album, was so excited. There are a few albums I am excited for as well taht are out, I just don't have the funds for them atm, but soon I will :D:D:D

[5FDP]

GET FU.... ARE YOU SERIOUS!!! :eek:

All hail Soundwave :cool:

Hell yeah... Kittie!!

[Prowl]

Just my $0.02 but by far the best band on the bill is Cro Mags.

Not all the bands are my cup of tea but that is a great great festival lineup. Pity I have blacklisted all festivals since BDO99 & have no intention of breaking that ban.

Thank god for the sideshows.

[5FDP]

Just booked 2 x tix for Soundwave :cool: :cool: :cool:

I have my fingers crossed that 5FDP will be added to the line-up. It's quite possible as they were rumored for Soundwave 2010 plus they have a new album out.

FYI - Ticketek have run-out of allocation. Book them through Oztix if you still can. About $170 per ticket but worth it IMO :D

I'm surprised you young fellas know who they are:p:D

[Hursticon]

I'm surprised you young fellas know who they are:p:D

What? - Just because they broke up 6 years before I was born and it took another 13 years after that for me to actually learn/hear who they were... :eek:

I can thank 1AZRAEL1 for aiding me in my path along the Darkside, he's a violent yet just teacher. :p:D
(He wanted to knock me out when I told him I had no clue who Ozzy Osbourne was, 13 years ago :o)

[Demonac]

After the death of Dio, I guess they had to fall back on that crappy 'vocalist' they had previously.
Although people seem to forget the 1998 album 'Reunion' which had 2 new (forgettable) songs.

Nope, I never forgot and I also remember that they were written and recorded with only 2 members of the original lineup. ;):)

Who, Ozzy and Iommi? :cool:

At the end of the day, isn't it just good that a bunch of old mates are getting back together again after such a long time and doing something that a very large amount of people will enjoy?
It's all very possible that this was a dying request of Ronnie's; whilst he was never my preferred frontman of Sabbath, I loved Heaven & Hell's: The Devil You May Know and everything I have seen of Dio in an interview points to him being the sort of person and character who could make such a request, especially of Tony and Geezer. ;):)

Not everyone can be pleased though I guess, all I know is that I'm frothing at the maw with anticipation for these new efforts. :D

I'm not upset or anything...just a bunch of 'meh'.
It just screams of money grab to me. Especially when the 'Digital Bitch' is involved.

Hmm, I dunno - Nothing has been made mention of Sharon as of yet and I'd be very impressed to see if she could convince Tony, Geezer and Bill to reunite purely for money's sake; I'm of the inclination that they as a Quartet have all just figured that the timing is right and that they're not getting any younger, they'd really like to give it a shot purely out of the enjoyment of each other's company and the major fact that fans have been wanting this for the better part of 30 odd years. :cool:

Honestly, sure, whilst Ozzy isn't the greatest vocalist and Sabbath have been round the block, I'd still prefer this over the mountain of generically boring New Wave of American crap that is pumping out at the moment; but then I'm rather finicky when it comes to my Metal tastes - Just ask 1AZRAEL1 how ridiculous I am about Dio-fronted Black Sabbath and Heaven & Hell. :rolleyes::p

I'm 100% with you on this though.

[1AZRAEL1]

All I know is, I will be there if I have to sell my soul lol. Yes I did introduce Hursty to the darkside of music, but I don't see him complaining lol. I love alot of the old music, I'm not narrow in my music tastes. Sabbath was one of the originators of what we call Heavy Metal, and Iommi wrote some of the most memorable riffs, to me, in music history.

[SkyWarp91]

Hey metalheads, recently I've been trying to find some new metal to listen to but can't find many bands that suit my tastes. I'm a fan of metal with vocals that aren't so screamo/hardcore, more gravelly and masculine vocals like 5FDP, Metallica etc. and they can sing songs with the emotional/dramatic kick to them, ala 'Now I lay thee Down' by Machine Head, 'Never Enough' by 5FDP.

Bands I currently know are mainly 5FDP, Machine Head, Tool, Revis, Metallica, 3 DAys Grace (yes I know their new songs suck!), Mudvayne.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

[Demonac]

Pantera, from 1990 - 1994.
Sepultura, from 1989 to 1996.
Devin Townsend.

[Hursticon]

@Skywarp: Demonac's got a pretty good list going there, I'd maybe add (With some 'Darker?' and more 'Sung' vocal examples from each ;)):

Fear Factory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_Factory) - Obsolete (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsolete_%28album%29) (1998): Edgecrusher (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr7NOPk7eaI) (Dark) & Descent (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFWDZ85icyo) (Sung)
Static-X (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_x) - Start a War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Start_a_War) (2005): Dirthouse (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN8KWclFoW4) (Dark) & Just In Case (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-FCQIJfjns) (Sung)
Rammstein (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rammstein) (Though not in English :o) - Sehnsucht (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sehnsucht_%28Rammstein_album%29) (1997): Eifersucht (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH4Y6B7CM-w) (Dark) & Alter Mann (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh1dX0ydFf4) (Sung)
Drowning Pool (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drowning_Pool) - Desensitized (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desensitized_%28Drowning_Pool_album%29) (2004): Forget (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz1lVnkGNBQ) (Dark) & Love and War (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ7WirR6avg) (Sung)


These are just a couple of examples of each band (Please excuse the Youtube Quality though :o) and each has a number more records and songs; so I'd encourage you Skywarp, or anyone else for that matter, to just have a look around the libraries of each. One of the best things I've learnt about Metal is that there is such a huge variety of sounds (http://mapofmetal.com/#/home) out there, with many bands executing differing styles from one album to the next, which makes Exploring Metal one of the most engaging and fun aspects of the Genre. ;):cool:

One more group I might suggest for you is Disturbed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disturbed_%28band%29) and their albums: The Sickness (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sickness) (2000) and Indestructible (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indestructible_%28Disturbed_album%29) (2008), they're my 2 favourites from this band and I recommend them to those who aren't necessarily a regular Heavy Rock/Metal fan, who's looking for a less 'stereotypical :rolleyes:' Metal sound. ;):)
(It annoys me to no end those who simply write off Metal as just screaming devil worshippers, it's such a narrow view on an incredibly broad and varied genre :mad:; to them I say go and watch this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etfaqTx0bjg) :cool:)

Speaking of Sabbath a few days ago...who here has heard of a Canadian band 'Sheavy'?

One of us, one of us :D I must say you have impeccable taste in music ;) :cool:

May I suggest Machine Heads new album 'Unto the Locust'. I haven't been able to remove it from my CD player for weeks now. It's just so awesome!

Also check out Nothingface you WON'T regret it. Start with their album Violence. Trust me on this one.

How is that compared to 'The Blackening' dude? +/-?
(The Blackening was friggin' Awesome! :D)

Very similar in that most songs are 6+ minutes in length ala old-school Metallica. I love that because for me, some of the best songs should have you going through a range of emotions when listening to it... kinda like a good book or movie, rather than just playing the same riffs and cords from start to finish.

There are of course some stand-out tracks (the title track included) but what you'll find is that the album finishes very differently to the way it starts off.

Quite a few older MH fans don't like this, however I have been there since the beginning and appreciate the musical evolution.

I would give The Blackening an 8.5 out of 10; Unto the Locust would rate as a 9 using the same scale. Highly recommended.

Excellent, I'll have to get a hold of it and give it a listen - The thing I liked about The Blackening is that it's a record you can whack on and enjoy all the way through and I too like the longer length of the songs, a very Sabbath approach also. ;):cool:

If 'Unto The Locust' is better than that I'll be very pleased. :D

Thanks for the post Hursti, I actually do have Static X, Disturbed, Rammstein and Drowning Pool albums (and a Fear Factory album too, how sick is their cover of Cars?!). Just forgot to list them in my original post :)

I got Unto the Locust because I loved MH's 'Now I lay Thee Down' but didn't have any of their albums. Still haven't listened to the Blackening but like you I'm stuck listening to Unto the Locust because it's so damn good. All the songs I can listen to and are done with so much energy and heart, many rock albums I hear only have the 1 or 2 songs I like with 6-9 other filler songs. My fav from this album is 'This is the End'.

I also checked out Nothingface, Ether's probably my fav song on their album Skeletons but I actually enjoyed the Violence album because of the heavier riffs, though their vocals aren't as strong as Machine Head. Still gotta listen to more metal folks, once I get tired (don't know if I ever will) or Unto the Locust!

True that. The humor in that song, quite funny.

They have had some great albums, but I must admit I haven't bought any after United :o Their albums with Snowy are my favs, that guy is just too damn talented. I really gotta grab his live dvd when I see it, Live Showreel In The Wunderwurld (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3tG5w8bjbM), where he plays music from all the bands he has been in.

Love all his stuff when he was in Notre Dame, you guys should def check them out.
