Shall we talk about heavy music?

[Buzzrock 14884]

This album is more modern and a bit commercial. Still dont know what to think of it yet.

Just listened to that new song above.  Sounds like Evanescence or something.  Not my thing.

You damn right. Both these dudes can throw it down. Who knew Elon Musk and Jesus of Nazareth were such amazing shredders?

 

[Biff Tannen 45588]

Something wrong with Elon Musk's guitar.

exactly what i thought. Used to have a predominantly desk job where the guy that sat behind me played some Evanescence CD on a loop, not loud but audible. I hated that job.

but not as much as I hate Evanescence.  

[Wyatt Mann 17]

I think everyone who listens to within temptation for the first time compares thek to Evanescence and I'm no exception. And since the new album is poppy, I would expect that comparison a bit more. Check out some of their other material too.

[Chad 1728]

Excellent cover, never would've expected Trivium to cover this.

 

[stc 1453]

saw these guys last night and it was extremely good. if you like Sleep you should check them out. one of the loudest shows I've ever attended. 

 

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

I am a big Sepultura fan and long ago wrote of Soulfly as pretty awful. I just checked out their most recent album Ritual and it is pretty fucking great. In fact it sounds like a lost Sepultura album.

[Buzzrock 14884]

Hmm, I’ve never liked Soulfly either. Off to check it out.

Thought that first Cavalera conspiracy disc was solid.

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Thought that first Cavalera conspiracy disc was solid.

I thought both were pretty good with a couple
Of tracks on each being really great (like Sanctuary).

[Buzzrock 14884]

In what universe does Parkway Drive take top billing over Killswitch Engage? Bought a last minute ticket as I was leaving a music festival thinking I’d catch the whole KSE set and saw exactly three songs.

[zlavydra 2119]

The Chasm and Cruciamentum hitting Atlanta at the end of June. I iz very excite.

[lockport 55]

Not sure how heavy you might classify this but I've been on a Myrkur kick lately.

Megadeth is better than Metallica. Change my mind.

In terms of musicianship and things off that sort, Megadeth has always been superior. But Metallica was more successful for a couple reasons. First of all, they were the first thrash band, so they were at the head of the pack. 2nd, despite James having a limited vocal range and such, his vocal style was just plain enjoyable. No one ever says "I like Metallica's music but hate the singer". Sometimes Dave's voice turns people off. And third, Metallica's big accomplishment (was) outstanding songwriting, and for the first few albums, progressing. 

[Chad 1728]

First single to drop since Halloween. It picks up about 1:15 into the video.

 

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Stoner Rock/Metal which has probably already been put in here.  Saw this band open for Elder last year.  They have a newer (2018) one out, but digging this one lately:

 

 

 

[stc 1453]

i like that album a lot. saw them open for the sword a couple years ago. 

[Buzzrock 14884]

Clown’s (from Slipknot) 22 yr old daughter died a couple days ago. Very sad.

[The People’s Elbow 707]

Seeing Refused tonight. After seeing the Comeback Kid and the Bronx a couple weeks ago, May is shaping up nicely for shows.  

[Wyatt Mann 17]

I am excited.

[MissingInAction 24874]

Saw Judas Priest last night at Moody. It absolutely rocked but thought theor opening act, Uriah Heep was better. Never heard of them but those old dudes still got it.

[Dark Horse 2273]

New Full of Hell is great

 

 

[Dark Horse 2273]

 

 

[Storm the Field 5278]

SIAP, but just got around to listening to Dream Theater's newest album that came out back in February. One of their best in a long while. Me gusta.

Didn't see this posted anywhere. If you like pinch harmonics then this is your Freebird:

 

[Biff Tannen 45588]

Lol.  ok, that's a little ridiculous.

Edit: also, A+ for the silly video

Edited June 22, 2019 by Biff Tannen

[Buzzrock 14884]

Zakk Wylde and Adam D think that’s too much pinch harmonics.

[Buzzrock 14884]

Somewhat obsessed with this lately. So heavy in its own way.

[Bigpoppapump 529]

New Darkthrone is dope

Also I've been digging this band lately. Don't know how to describe them.

 

[Buzzrock 14884]

Elements of Baroness and Intronaut

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Maybe not heavy enough for this thread, but certainly not pop.  Saw them Saturday at Hotel Vegas.  Hell of a set, live.  Drummer is fantastic.  They apparently opened for Sleep somewhat recently as well.

Anyone catch Mastodon’s Crack the Skye anniversary set on this tour? It may have been the best I’ve ever heard them live. 

[ajax 2596]

I'm posting from the Mastodon/Coheed & Cambria show. My son is a huge Mastodon fan so I got us tickets.

They just got done playing their set and they sounded so fucking good.

C&C are up next.

Negative. I caught them a few days ago and have been slow to ask here. Their performance was next level. 

[ajax 2596]

Coheed is good. However Mastodon was a juggernaut. They should be closing this show.

[Buzzrock 14884]

I saw the Crack the Skye tour and it was epic. Cool that they are rolling out those songs again.

I don’t know much about them, I think I learned about them from a Mastodon interview on Spotify. But I love this song:

It’s definitely heavy.

[Chad 1728]

Guess who's back with another new album? Doesn't have the wow factor of Rotting in vain, but it's a decent track. This album was sooner than I expected after Jon Davis released a solo album last year touring extensively to promote it along with the death of his wife.

 

 

[Biff Tannen 45588]

Is it 1998?

[Buzzrock 14884]

I didn’t know his wife died. That sucks. 

[stc 1453]

for those in austin, there are quite a few sub $20 reserved tickets on stubhub for the mastodon show on tuesday. 

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

The world doesn’t need another korn album. I am pretty sure the world didn’t need any korn album to begin with. Sorry about dude’s wife, but for the most part his vocals are just terrible.

[ztejas 43385]

Any Deafheaven fans in this thread? I had tickets to see them but came down with strep throat in college. Still pissed about it.

Deafheaven rules, although I actually prefer New Bermuda and Ordinary Corrupt Human Love to Sunbather. All three are great, though.

New Bermuda is my fav. Just posted what first got me into them. 

I need to give Ordinary Corrupt a few more listens.

You either love Korn or you hate them there's no in-between, we all have our own unique tastes and Metal has countless sub genres. Korn was the only metal band to ever experience any consistent success on the boy band/pop artist/hip hop dominated TRL and enjoyed so much success to the extent that the MTV execs had to invent a rule that required a song be retired after so many weeks on the countdown to get them off the air so they could push their marketable music down your throat. Long live Nu Metal!
