What Are You Listening To?

[Arioch]

Gama Bomb - Untouchable Glory (2015)

I liked this album when it came out. It's Thrash that doesn't invent anything, but it's very catchy, particularly in its increase in tempo speed over the tracks. A band that rocks without getting carried away.

Enslaved - Eld (1997)

I find the album's intro as sublime as ever. It plunges us into the calm before the coming storm. It's magical!

Eros Necropsique - Charnelle Transcendance (1997)

This stuff is a UFO in what I'm used to listening to. Eros Necropsique are a French duo whose music is dark and gloomy, without drums or electric guitar, and whose strength lies in their poetically declaimed lyrics.

I imagine that for a non-French speaker, the impact is considerably weakened, and I'm sorry about that.

It fascinates me.

I was reading loudwires best metal album of each year since 1970 list and decided to come up with my own list just for fun. here is the link for the original if anyone is interested: The Best Metal Album of Each Year Since 1970 (loudwire.com)

1970: Paranoid - black sabbath

Predictable choice I know but there was so little competition at this point in metal's history.  the only thing ive heard that comes close is the self-titled but even then paranoid blows that album out of the water

1971: Master of reality - black sabbath

Copy and paste what I said about paranoid here except this album is probably even better. This is easily one of their darkest and heaviest records with classics like into the void, sweet leaf, and children of the grave all helping set the stage for doom and stoner metal.

1972: Vol 4 - black sabbath

There was a lot more competition this year most notably deep purples machine head but even still vol 4 beats all of them. this record was the start of a more experimental era in black sabbaths history and this would continue on the next two records.

1973: Volcanic rock - buffalo

Finally, an album not by black sabbath. Now this isn't saying that sabbath bloody sabbath isn't a great record it absolutely is but I think this album beats it out by just a hair. the riffs are heavier, and the album is a lot more chaotic. The closing track alone makes this album worth listening to.

I'd suggest that you make a separate thread for this in the General Chat section.

Careful, the Goatmaster General will strip you of your Goat Metal membership if you listen to more poser metal.  😁

I've never heard Gama Bomb. Just never liked their name. So fuck 'em.

We work on a points system. If Hungarino logs enough hours of South American death/thrash and Belarussian black metal then he gets to listen to one of his poseur Megastaine albums without penalty. That said, Countdown is in my 3rd favorite Megastaine platter behind only Peace Sells and SFSGSW. Not that I ever listen to it anymore because Dave's a mega-douche-canoe and those nasally vox are hard to take.

My god, if membership means collecting photos like that I'm so glad I wont be a member.

Don't worry mate, I'm sure your application would be discarded straight into the bin, or misfiled in the folder marked...

Not Bloody Likely!   Seinfeld  - Jerry and Kramer practice their Cockney accents.

It would probably be a hoot reading your essay outlining the 7 points of why you wanted to join the Goat Mafia though.

[AlSymerz]

Hmmm can I work on it overnight?

(although I have to admit I'm not sure what the advantages or even the benefits are so it's not going to be easy)

The funny thing about that photo of Dave and Dave is that Mustaine claimed one of the reasons for firing Jnr recently was that sexually tinged images and videos were detrimental to the band. Maybe he doesn't remember that picture being taken but I bet it's not the only one that contradicts his new ideas about being detrimental to the band.
