Saw Bolt Thrower back in June with Jungle Rot. Don't think anything's gonna top that.

Les is amazing, ja. My first was probably Symphony X for their second tour for Iconoclast. Since then I've only been to a handful of shows, sadly. That, Exhumed/Vektor/Napalm Death, Wintersun's first US tour, Bolt Thrower, and Kreator/Overkill. Come to think of it, I haven't actually gone to any show with a remotely subpar lineup. Bolt Thrower will probably take the cake for the forseeable future, obviously.

Anybody heard these guys? Recently started getting into them, and hooooooly shit. They sound like UneXpect but Japanese. I just can't even, so perfect.

Just noticed this thread, already posted this in the Exodus thread but whatever. Anyone a fan of mid-era Exodus? (Tempo of the Damned, Impact is Imminent, Fabulous Disaster, Force of Habit, and Pleasures of the Flesh) Their vocalist from that era is working on a new project, Hatriot. They released their demo ages ago, and recently released the single from their upcoming album. The demo:

Zetro is still around in the metal world, and he's making some fucking awesome music. The single from their upcoming album came out yesterday, and the album is set to release mid-January. Check dis out.

Re: great albums Thanks dude! Yeah, been pretty busy lately, to the point where even my time on my main forum has dropped significantly. Think I'll be on more in the forseeable future though.

Re: Septicflesh Recently got into them, they're incredible.

Angel Grave is a progressive death metal band from Chicagoland. They formed on April 16, 2011, almost a full year ago, and already have a fairly solid following in the region, and have recently released an EP. Much of their influence draws from bands such as Death, Cynic, Obscura, Voivod, and similar high-class bands in the metal world. If you're from the Chicagoland area, definetely check these guys out, they're pretty insane. Their Facebook is here, and you can check out some of their live videos at their bassist's youtube channel, located here.

Re: Amorphis Been listening to loads of Amorphis lately. love 'em <3

Re: Iced Earth

Here I was thinking I'd be original and write lyrics about Dante's Divine Comedy when it turns out Iced Earth did it already...Damn

Re: Iced Earth New album is pretty disappointing. To make it worse, from what I know of the setlist it seems they're not playing Stygian. Doubt I'll go to the Joliet show in March since I'll probably be in Indianapolis that weekend.

Re: Summoning Been listening to these guys almost non-stop over the last couple days. Fuckin' love em, though their earlier shit (before even Lugburz) is a bit silly.

Re: What Are You Listening To? Nevermore - We Disintegrate

Re: Books?

Hell to the year, I must've read em like 3-4 times apiece by now!

Re: what got you listening to metal? Friend on another forum (acop knows it) linked a track in the "Gettysburg" trilogy by Iced Earth in a "What are you listening to right now?" thread. I listened and realized that metal wasn't all bad like the masses would have you believe, and gradually my tastes in metal have grown to the point where I know know more bands than even the majority of the metalheads around me.

Re: Books? Really, no mention of King's "Dark Tower" series? I am disappoint :3

Re: gaming Was that Clone Wars game the (non battlefront) one where there were points scattered throughout the map and you gained troops and whatnot by capturing them? That was pretty fun, iirc. Though I remember being disappointed by the lack of Lee voice acting :3

Re: Avant-Garde Metal

Ack. Never liked Unexpect. I suppose if you like them you'd probably like Diablo Swing Orchestra as well, and maybe Arcturus. Mirrorthrone is downright scary. Really good band, though...I also like Sigh, if only on Imaginary Sonicscape. I'd call Suspyre avant-garde too since they use saxophones on occasion and often have orchestral passages, although granted, they're not quite as weird as these other bands.

Re: What Are You Listening To? Unexpect - Megalomaniac Trees

Re: Last.fm Accounts? http://www.last.fm/user/mcbeverage101 is me. Feel free to add me and such! :3

I've been getting into this loads recently. Stuff like Unexpect vcSEWeY-8pw Alchemist -ayckdXm4t4 Azure Emote xKoQCOPDOTo and the like. I won't bother to write a description, because this genre is, by it's own definition, more or less undefinable. Just listen to the songs and such :3

Re: Cynic new album!!!!!!! Not entirely sure about it, but I seem to recall one of my friends saying that his band is going to be opening for them when they come to Chicago. Hellz yeah :3

Re: Rate the song above you! Joachim also looks like an ex admin from another forum I go to. Anyways, Sabaton is awesome. That song is no exception, and I find it fascinating how that guy shot so many Russians. 4.5/5 Lost Horizon - Sworn in the Metal Wind e7o7GugUE3I

Re: Lost Horizon Double post, sorry, but! Showed my friend these guys yesterday. He's not big into straight-up power metal, and he liked 'em like pretty much everyone that likes metal that I've shown em has. AND I realized that I know all the lyrics to their songs pretty much which like never happens with me. Fuck yeah. edit - (decided to edit since I feel dirty when I triple post ) Also check out Hibria, they coo'.
