Obsessed with this song. One of the best metal songs ever recorded.

Can't find an album version on Youtube, but this live version is just as intense. Skip to about 1:00 if you don't want to listen to the singer rant about Jesus. Fun fact: the band broke up for the first time when that guy went crazy and fled to Iceland in order to escape the coming nuclear holocaust. This was almost as good as when he went crazy and supposedly hired a hitman to kill one of the people who worked at his record company (he called it off at the last minute).

I just listened to this awesome song, the guy behind this song/album/band (You Oshima) was probably the best replacement the band Sigh could get for guitar duties since Shinichi Ishikawa left Sigh.




I'm now listening to

You should check out their 2006 album Hosannas From the Basement of Hell, it has a similar vibe although I think leans more towards sludge/ drone at times. I think "Walking With Gods" is probably the most similar sounding song to "Asteroid"



Also, welcome to the fold.

That's fantastic. Is that the bass guitar with that metallic tone synced up with the drum beat? I've never heard a tone anything like that before and it's amazing. I can't think of very many bands who actually become more uncompromising and abrasive as they're pushing fifty.

Yeah, although their last two albums (Absolute Dissent (2010) and MMX11 (2012)) did dial it back a little and went back to more of a post-punk sound. Still, I absolutely adore the fact that a band that helped inspire so many bands from today easily rocks harder than most of them.

Also I honestly don't know how they got that sound, but I think it's Geordie Walker's guitar doing some kind of pick scrape and heavy palm mutes.

Posted in the "Albums you're digging II" thread as well, but this has impressed me so much, and so unexpectedly, that I feel it deserves mention here too.
Funeral Symphonies --- Funeris --- 2015

The second album from one-man-band Funeris, who hail from Argentina, the second they have released in less than two years, having only "formed" last year. It's an amazing slice of power, aggression, growling almost subsumed-in-the-mix vocals, crunching guitars and at times really ambient instrumental sections. I'm just so flattened by this I may never walk again. Incredible stuff. If anyone knows of any bands similar, if Funeral Doom is all like this, please hook me up!

I've never been the biggest CF fan. They were the very first band I ever listened to once I started really getting into metal after getting the book Sounds of the Beast--my beloved crash course in all things metal--and I switched to Saxon after a few songs. They were just too dated even for me. I fell in love with Hellhammer pretty much instantly, due to their much more chaotic, primitive, and noisy sound, and Monotheist/Triptykon were the perfect update of their sound. Liked Into the Pandemonium though, largely for its weirdness and reasons I'm not entirely sure of, since many of the songs still sounded like their previous work. Maybe they just finally got the hang of making songs catchy (e.g. "Babylon Fell").

I've slowly warmed up to them over the years, and legitimately dig certain songs, but never really embraced their early work fully. But as of yesterday, when I finally listened to them with some speakers with real bottom end and volume, I'm loving them. Their sound is certainly dated, the vocals have been made irrelevant by death and black metal, and the production leaves much to be desired, but I now know that to truly listen to them as they should be listened to, you really need to speakers that can blast. Now they're just heavy as ****, and the vocals are delightfully abrasive and old school.

Gonna listen to pretty much all of their albums in sequence today as I study. I love finding ever more, dated eighties metal to fall in love with, and Celtic Frost are unique enough that missing out on them would leave a hole that no other band could fill.
