Recent Metal Purchases
 

figured we need one in here.

My last 2:

Had to pick it up when I saw it. Basically the album that got me into Death Metal. For nostalgia factor (as well as it being one of my favorite record), bought it on CD when I saw it.

Got the 20th anniversary edition with the bonus live DVD. Another one of the essentials I had to pick up.

Purchases...umm the most recent albums I "acquired" were these

Not really metal at all, but it's made by people who make metal so I guess it counts. Great avant garde atmospheric stuff to chill out to

Some pretty cool throwback Swe-death, buzzsaw guitars and all. The album also has a crust inspired sound which I love too

Nice idea for a thread.

Nothing special I'm afraid.

As the Palaces Burn is probably my favorite Lamb of God record, what did you think of the new one?

this is pretty much a duplicate post, but wateva:-

Suicide Silence - No Tiime to Bleed, The Black Crown
Symphony X - Paradise Lost
Black Dahlia Murder - Miasma
Stratovarius - Polaris
Marduk - Panzer Division Marduk
Immortal - Damned in Black
Tiamat - Wildhoney
Soilwork - Natural Born Chaos

What do you think of the Tiamat album? I love that band and from that album onwards they just got more and more interesting.

Got these two CDs for only €2 each

Evile - Enter The Grave (2007)
Old-school thrash metal from a relatively modern band. The influences are very obvious - Slayer and old Sepultura. But despite not reinventing the wheel this is a pretty good album with some good moments such as 'Bathe In Blood'.

Darkthrone - Under A Funeral Moon (1993)
I already like it more than A Blaze In The Northern Sky but maybe not as much as Transilvanian Hunger. Either way it's a damn good album.

Need to listen to that one more. "A Blaze..." is actually my favorite by them so far.

Thanks, it took all of about 3 seconds to come up with the concept of this here thread.

will put it on in awhile and let you know

Seems like you've got too much time on your hands these days!

Here's a song dedicated to you:p:.


Styx- Too Much Time on My Hands - YouTube

last time i went out (in public) drinking.... I got drunk and was singing "Come Sail Away" outside. That was the night I learned that nobody can resist that song, no matter how much of a fight they put up (similar to "Don't Stop Believing").

I always knew you had a mellow side, to that hardcore image.

have heard it - side 2 is very interesting and not very metal at all

They become less metal with each album release in a similiar vein to say Anathema.

I should think our Alanis Morissette v. Fiona Apple discussion should have given that away already.

^^Liz Phair ftw

I must have been sleeping when that was being discussed then!

Fiona Apple still rules over Alanis Morrisette.... truth.

Musically she is better. I have no problem admitting that. Alanis can be hit or miss and her songwriting is not as mature as Fiona's is. But Alanis' narcissistic, nihilistic bitching pleases me in a way that Fiona never will. She makes me feel better about my own narcissistic, nihilistic bitching.

Maybe it is just cause Alanis started out as a generic pop tart. Her early stuff was like Tiffany level bad.

Swallow the Sun - Emerald Forest and the Blackbird (2012)

It's pretty meh. I mean it accomplishes what it sets out to do, but it doesn't really add anything to the death/doom genre, and worst of all it just drags on and on.

I haven't heard her first two albums. Don't tempt me though. I love "I Think We're Alone Now". Granted I haven't heard anything else of hers.:laughing:

this video was played like 500 times a day when it came out

Yeah, I was like five in '91, and without Cable (and therefore MTV). And I was under the impression that her first two albums only really were known in Canada where she was from.

Well, I am Canadian. We did not have MTV, only Much Music.

What's that? MTV with maple syrup?

basically.

since we're so off-topic, here's another duplicate post:-

Kreator - Hordes of Chaos
Arch Enemy - Khaos Legions, The Root of all Evil
Tiamat - Prey, Judas Christ
Metallica - Beyond Magnetic EP

Judas Christ is a great album and not metal in any way. If you like Tiamat try and get A Deeper Kind of Slumber.

sure

edit - listening to Judas Christ now - it sounds more like a Swedish Bauhaus

My last metal purchases:

Black Witchery - Inferno of Sacred Destruction LP
Conqueror - War.Cult.Supremacy double LP
Bone Awl - Meangingless Leaning Mess LP

All from Hell's Headbangers.

My Last :
Dream Theater - A Dramatic..
Anathema - We're Here Because We're Here
Kingcrow - Phlegethon

All of them are great records

I could never get on with them from the few tracks I heard but my mate keeps banging on about how good they are and I found this with a bonus DVD at a local charity shop for £2 and well it's OK. Some good tracks and some bad. I find the production on many songs very underwhelming and the cover of Poison Idea's seminal The Badge an absolute abomination.

i think Vulgar Display of Power is the best representation of Pantera

i do like their other stuff but i wouldn't exactly call them ground-shaking

meh, overrated album. I will take "The Great Southern Trendkill" over it any day.

best song they ever did in my opinion:



that outro solo = amazing.

Hell I love Pantera and I could listen to them all day and all night! That groove hits me nice and sweet.:D

My relationship with Pantera is a lot like my relationship with pickles. I've never liked them, but every so often I'll give them another chance, as I just did with this song, thinking my opinion might have changed. Like with pickles, it hasn't. Still awful after all these years.

I rather like Reinventing Hell as it's an album I feel I can dip into. I've tried listening to their studio albums, and there doesn't tend to be enough on there to keep me amused. One of those bands that, for me, a greatest hits is necessary I'm afraid :(

That said, the same holds for Eagles, and I love Eagles, and I do like much of Pantera's music... just not a lot of it, and not all at the same time.

Never thought I'd ever see the Eagles and Pantera in the same sentence!
