Some non-metal

Verdi - Prelude to Act 1 : La Traviata

Just one of the finest pieces of classical music I have ever heard.  Those lush strings that come in around the 1:20 mark just grab me by the throat every time.  Damn.

Little Richard - Send Me Some Lovin

The "glamourous" lifestyle of living in hotels hundreds of miles away from home, usually led to me looking down that long, dank corridor of depression.  Wanting to be nowhere but home with the ones you love is a fucking killer and the more positive nature to the tongue in cheek side of Little Richard used to pick me up just enough when needed.

Glaare  - Iksy (from To Deaf and Day)

Those haunting synths and those ethereal vocals that grow stronger as the track progresses are just a wonderful combination that connect so well with me.  A wonderfully restrained and balanced piece of music that makes me feel a real connection with the artists.

We could be here a while.

Akhlys - Somniloquy (from Melinoe)

The start of this track proper after the faded up intro.  Just the sense that I am being cast into the bowels of every skin-crawling nightmare ever dreamt as that ghastly howl and mining riff starts:

Altarage - Altars (from Nihil)

One of the nastiest opening riffs ever committed to tape.  Here be an absolute "fuck you" to my comfort zone and let's take a couple more steps forward to really drive that blade home.

Slayer - Dead Skin Mask (from Season in the Abyss)

I have never been able to cope with the kid crying on this track.  When I was a kid listening to this in my bedroom I genuinely thought it was a kid trapped in my room somewhere.  Even as a grown up I find this unsettling still.

Asphyx - Serenade in Lead (from Last One On Earth)

The bit from 01:25 into the track is just all the back of car seat fumbles, unexpected one beer left in the fridge and lost a fiver and found a tenner moments from my whole life rolled into one:

Dismember - Override of the Overture (from Like an Ever Flowing Stream)

That section at 03:20 is one of the most memorable pieces of Swedish death metal ever written.  It says "STOP WHATEVER THE FUCK IT IS THAT YOU ARE DOING AND LISTEN TO ME DICKHEAD!"

I'll be back.

Who keeps bringing this shit up? I feel like we keep taking out the trash to the curb and no sooner do I turn around then someone has carried it back inside again to stink us out. Rap rock ~ nu-metal, who cares, what's the diff? Same shit, same can o' worms.

Alright listen up teenyboppers and noobs, Public Service Announcement: whoever came here looking for stimulating in depth convo about rap rock or nu-metal or metalcore...you've come to the wrong place. No one here listens to, knows about, or wants to know about this shit much less talk about it. Listen to whatever you like, but nobody here wants to talk endlessly about this smelly rap/rock garbage. Unless it's Body Count, then I'll allow it. 

 

Body Count - Body Count, LA 1992

 

Agreed.  Thread locked and let's all get on with our lives.

They do have Sol Currupto out in digital format now: https://altarage.bandcamp.com/album/sol-corrupto

Ah thanks.  I was on that page earlier and missed that, dumbass that I am.

Altarage - Worst Case Scenario landed 15th Sep.  I missed their vinyl only release in 2022 (the dickheads) and so this is the first new album since the excellent Succumb.  https://altarage.bandcamp.com/album/worst-case-scenario

Suffocation - Hymns From The Apocryphia due out 3rd Nov.  Single they released sounds decent enough.  Not ground-breaking but still Suffocation.https://suffocation.bandcamp.com/album/hymns-from-the-apocrypha 

Altarage - Worst Case Scenario (2023)

Isis - The Mosquito Control (1998)

Ulver - Kveldssanger (1996)

Thanks all.  Worth noting, it was not me or any of the other mods that got anything fixed.  Credit to @dilatedmind (the site owner) for that.

Since Saturday evening, it has been impossible to access the website: Cloudware error.

It only became accessible again for me (I'm in France) a few minutes ago.

Morning/Afternoon/Evening all,

As you will all be aware we had some challenges with site access over the weekend.  This has now all been sorted and access is restored.

Any nuances or parts still not working/displaying correctly please call out in this thread.

Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan - Interim Report 1979 (2021)

Had a few days this week away from metal listening.  I have opted for a more ambient, modular synth, electronic vibe.  Life at home is very chaotic right now and somehow these obscure releases I have discovered on Bandcamp offer a calming yet intriguing vibe given their niche nature.

Cool. I'm a spring chicken by current forum standards at 43, and I also got into death metal when I was 13. I've been kind of all over the map lately. The older DM I've put on in the past couple weeks has been Cannibal Corpse, Death, Necrophobic, Timeghoul, Wicked Innocence, Pan.Thy.Monium... right now I'm listening to some old Evoken. Newer bands I've been putting on recently are Grave Miasma, Disma, Afterbirth... one of my friends put me onto that recent Lunar Chamber album with horrible art... the first Dream Unending is pretty cool for atmospheric outside-the-box doom death. But I'm just starting to come out of a slump where I hated everything and wasn't listening to any metal for a few months, so nothing is normal right now.

Pah! 43.

Child, I am over 900 years old.  I "die" every third summer solstice to be reborn some more hideous abonimation than previously known and the majority of my listening habits are the bugs and grubs crawling through my ribcage.  It's called Wormcore if you're interested?
