As mentioned already, vocal style makes or breaks a band for me. The music could be perfection, but if the vocal style isn't my thing, I struggle to listen if I'm honest. Extreme vocals I treat almost as another instrument, lyrically I'm not that fussed, but the more inhuman the sound the better. The late, great Johnny Morrow of Iron Monkey being a perfect example, his vocals are just incomparable.

Well, hello.
It's been a while, but we've been away refining our sound and dealing with a few line-up changes. We've just released our latest track "Lizard Method Statement", compared to our previous material it's a huge leap forward for us and very good indicator of where we're going. If you've got just about 5 minutes spare, give it a play, see what you think, link is below. Feedback welcomed.
Thanks -
Have our EP for FREE, this weekend only. Don't mind if you don't like it, just download it so I can feel good about myself for a microsecond

Relapse, Undergroove and Shels* Music have provided me with some of my favourite albums over the years, so to a lesser degree has Earache, although I've heard some less than pleasant things about the way they treat some of their bands.

Deftones
Raging Speedhorn
The Ocean
Mogwai
...that I know about

Back in 1998 I was 15/16 and into Britpop (Oasis, Blur), Nirvana, The Offspring etc. Then I picked up Total Guitar magazine and they had a track on the cover-mount CD by a British rap-metal band called One Minute Silence. That was it. I had literally heard nothing like it before, massive funky bass, razor sharp guitars and killer drums topped off by the vocalist's trademark Irish brogue spitting out these extremely politicised lyrics (OMS were likened to a British RATM for those of you who haven't heard of them), I was instantly hooked.
From there it was a continuation into the popular nu-metal of the day, Fear Factory, Korn, System of a Down, Deftones, then heavier stuff; Will Haven, Iron Monkey, Raging Speedhorn, then Decapitated, Mayhem and At the Gates. My journey has been a continuing evolution alongside metal, post-metal, more sludge, a shed-load of grind, a brief and mostly regrettable dalliance with deathcore and a huge, huge appreciation for mathcore/early metalcore bands like Converge, Botch, Coalesce and Cave-In.
I will listen to anything with a bit of edge, a bit of bite. I loathe boring, anodyne music of any genre, but One Minute Silence's "Stuck Between a Rock and a White Face" kickstarted me into the world of metal and for that I will always be grateful.

Had a bit of a post-Christmas binge recently (to put it mildly) and picked up:
Cult of Luna - Salvation
Cult of Luna - Vertikal
Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile
Lazarus Blackstar - Revelations
Lazarus Blackstar - Hymns For the Cursed
Down I Go - This is Disastercore
Down I Go - Tyrant
Black Eye Riot - No Hope, No Future, No Worries
Pilgrim Fathers - Short Circular Walks in the Hope Valley
Capricorns - River, Bear Your Bones
Winnebago Deal - Plato O Plomo
Winnebago Deal - Dead Gone
The Dukes of Nothing - War & Wine
Threat Signal - Under Reprisal
Lodown - Black Horse
Monster Voodoo Machine - Suffersystem
Cog - Sharing Space
Days of Worth - The Western Mechanism
Helvis - Reverence the Sacrifice
Into Another - Seemless
Pariso - Nothing Beyond Everything After
Phoenix Bodies - Raise the Bullshit Flag
Yet to find anything amongst it I actively dislike which is pretty good, because aside from Cult of Luna, NIN and Capricorns, I hadn't heard much, if anything by any of those bands before. Helvis, Lazarus Blackstar and Cog are all real finds.

Tomahawk - Anonymous

Hooray a newbie in a band who can use the Intros thread and the Promote Your Band thread at the same time, finally. Welcome.
Ha! I think I will take that as a complement!

Thanks for your responses, we know we're never gonna be world beaters but it's encouraging words like yours that keep us plugging away, the fact that we've smashed 700+ views of the video in well under a week is frankly staggering to me.
We've achieved a lot in the 10 months we've been together, the next stage is to bash out an album that really raises our musical bar, more technical, heavier, better songwriting with all members involved in the process. I'll whack any updates on this thread, so if you like us, keep an eye out or give us a like on Facebook (eurgh!!).

At the minute:-
Cult of Luna
Monster Voodoo Machine
Rinoa
Fireside
Russian Circles
-
Today I've listened to an album each by Cult of Luna, The Dukes of Nothing, Cutting Pink With Knives, Winnebago Deal, Fireside and Pariso.
-
Love the new album, took a while but personally I find it a great comeback. Love all their stuff though.
-
For sheer hate-filled bile I return every time to Narcosis "Romance". It's utterly, fantastically horrible.
-
Five Pointe O - "Untitled" (2002)
Pulkas - "Greed" (1998)
Downthesun - "Downthesun" (2002)
Dragpipe - Music for the Last Day of Your Life (2002)
All one-album wonders and all fine examples of nu-metal being an unfairly maligned genre, Five Pointe O's album especially is phenomenal.

I love Iron Monkey's vocals, that dude was legitimately disturbed.
I remember a mate playing me "Our Problem" when I was about 16, I was bang into my nu-metal back then, and Morrow's unhinged vocals scared the crap out of me. He was genuinely unique, not everyone's cup of tea, but he was phenomenal.
-
Mike Patton (FNM), Johnny Morrow (Iron Monkey), Grady Avenell (Will Haven) and Chino Moreno (Deftones).

Hello and welcome!
I have only been here for a few days as well. I fear your style of music might be a bit too heavy for me, but will you be posting any of your work?
Hey Blodeuwedd, my main band is Siderian, I've already stuck a post in the "Promoting Your Band" thread, feel free to have a look if you're interested, any listen is a good listen

New Purchases/Acquisitions
in General Chat
Posted
My latest acquisition is the debut album by our mates in The Darkhorse, "The Carcass of the Sun will Sleep", 8-tracks of NOLA-inspired sludge/doom.
The bands round our way are just releasing some absolutely incredible music at present, early releases from Krysthla's second album and From Eden to Exile's debut are astonishingly good. It's a struggle to keep up, every time we try and raise our game, they're already one step ahead.
