I sure do. Just not to the kind of Metal that's discussed here. ^^

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I just listened to the new Amon Amarth album! It's good, although it could have used some experimenting on the sides. They tend to stick to the same formula on every album.

Anyways latest releases I've listened to include Moonsorrow's and Turisas' albums.
Oh, I have recently discovered Wolf, which is a great heavy metal band from Sweden.

Long live heavy metal!

Savatage - Sirens
Death Angel - Frolic Through the Park
Helloween - Keeper 1 and 2
Sabbath - Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules
Maiden - Piece of Mind (sexy picture disc, with brains being served at dinner...I have Seventh Son, Somewhere in Time, Powerslave and their first album coming later on)
Anthrax - Among the Living

Vemp: I love Wolf. They are like new school classic metal. Favorite song: Steelwinged Savage Reaper.

How ya doing, buddy?

That sounds like a fantastic score there Goldfish!

I'd collect more vinyl but I don't have a record player. However, I am definitely getting vinyl for bads that I love and have kick ass artwork with the intent to hang it up as display. So I'd love to get most of Megadeth's albums, Death, basically any classic death and thrash metal band would be fine.

I've been into Ghost recently. They just came out of nowhere with some fantastic songs that are reminiscent of early Mercyful Fate. Really good music and full of Satanic goodness.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Why wouldn't we listen to classic heavy metal? Is that why you thought that the 'coyotes' would tear you to pieces? Or is it because you love 'crabcore'?

Indeed, why wouldn't you? Then again, having followed this thread for a couple of years, I was beginning to think that anything that doesn't cause earbleeding isn't considered extreme enough to qualify as Metal around here. *g*

How ya doing, buddy?

Haha. I find it funny that you think the trend has been that anything that 'doesn't cause earbleeding' isn't considered metal when in the first several pages, plenty of people listed traditional heavy metal (i.e. Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Mercyful Fate, etc.) as some of their favorites. Metal is certainly dominated by the extreme side but there are plenty of people here who enjoy all kinds, including the less 'earbleeding' variety. Besides, if it's too earbleeding for you, you're too old!

By the way Zorro, have you heard of Ghost? If you haven't, I highly recommend them. They'll be right up your alley.

metal releases i have enjoyed so far this year:

between the buried and me - the parallax: hypersleep dialogues
kind of a spacier continuation of the great misdirect. really good. apparently it's a lead-in to their next full-length, which is pretty exciting

falkenbach - tiurdia
a mixture of the usual rigidly structured folk metal stuff and some more BM-leaning songs. time between dog and wolf is the freshest thing he's done in like forever

protest the hero - scurrilous
insanely intricate progressive metalcore. i think these guys' initial gimmick was that they wrote their debut album, then actually learned to play the required instruments. there are lots of solos and breakdowns and silly shit, and the vocals are admittedly pretty tasteless, but it's a fun record with a lot of memorable bits

ulver - wars of the roses
still undecided on this one. it's ulver, so it's automatically great, but it hasn't got as consistent an atmosphere as their previous stuff. it's like a more modern perdition city with lots of piano and synth, and a gorgeous talky-poem-ambient thing on the last track, but i feel like i need to listen to it a lot more before i can form a proper opinion

lots of stuff still to look forward to this year, too. two devin townsend albums, new stuff from samael, anaal nathrakh, amorphis, sigh, boris, and more

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The first several pages were five years ago. *g*

Besides, if it's too earbleeding for you, you're too old!
I've been too old for 25 years, then. Who are we kidding? I'm a wimp. *gg*

Yup, I know Ghost. They're okay, but the somewhat weak voice just doesn't do it for me. Still, some of their songs aren't bad at all. Death Knell comes to mind.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've been into Ghost recently. They just came out of nowhere with some fantastic songs that are reminiscent of early Mercyful Fate. Really good music and full of Satanic goodness.
I've been looking into scoring more on the thrash side, but the original prints in good condition are usually expensive (probably because they didn't sell too great to begin with, so there's fewer copies out there...Or in the case of Metallica/Maiden, demand is keeping the prices bumped). I'm keeping an eye out for stuff like Reign in Blood or Ultraviolence or Bonded by Blood/Fabulous Disaster (classic Exodus <3), but I have them on CD, so no great hurry yet. I don't have any Megadeth yet, but it looks like a decent copy of Rust in Peace is gonna run me on the bad side of $50 or so and even an original Peace Sells is rarely under $30. The good thing is, for the added sound quality, it's SOOO worth it (and my rig is mostly second-hand stuff I was experimenting with).

I scored a near mint original Operation Mindcrime for $15 the other day. That's another one with a usually-inflated pricetag.

It's unfortunate that so many metal releases nowadays are victims of the whole loudness war. The new Iron Maiden, Slayer and Death Angel albums are great music, but are actually difficult to listen to for long periods of time. I'm almost willing to rebuy them on vinyl to see if they're any improved.

I usually prefer clean vocals or thrash-style screams at most. I actually love Warbringer, but...yeah, loudness wars.

I realize I have sufficiently made my point about questionable mastering and am just being a whiny baby at this point.

Oh it's out? I'm gonna check it out. But honestly, everything after "Iron" was all meh. It wasn't the same after Jari left.

Also, I've been listening a lot of Arkona again this week. I don't understand what they are saying, but they sound fantaaastic.

Another album I've been spinning too much is Diablo Swing Orchestra's Pandora's Piñata. I know that calling them "metal" might be a bit off, but then genre descrtors really aren't sufficient given how much stuff they just throw in nowadays. Whatever they are, I've listened to the full album at least twice a week since it came out.



I never do that anymore.

I've been really impressed with Rhapsody of Fire lately. I know they're not kosher in a lot of metal circles anymore, what for being cheesy and all that, but i found their hiatus did wonders for their sound, and that The Frozen Tears of Angels and From Chaos to Eternity were vast improvements on the train wreck that was Triumph or Agony. That said, Luca Turili's spin-off Rhapsody band (tragically titled "Luca Turili's Rhapsody" instead of something that would legitimize the "of Fire" addition like Rhapsody of Ice, or R of Thunder... just sayin') seems to be off to an adequate start. I won't condemn them for being less than they could have been, but it's much better than a worst case scenario.

I'm also really enjoying the new Devin Townsend, Epicloud, which is kind of surprising as i was preparing myself for a bit of a downturn following Deconstruction, assuming that Devin obviously wouldn't be able to top himself after such an accomplishment. Epicloud doesn't even try, and is content to be it's own thing, which i'm fine with.

Heading down to HMV tomorrow to pre-order Coheed and Cambria's Afterman Part I, Kamelot's Silverthron, and Wintersun's Time I, all out this coming month. All of these will be interesting to hear as Coheed and Kamelot both suffered major member changes in the last year, and it's been 8 years since the last Wintersun.

I personally felt kinda "meh" towards the latest Rhapsody albums. Didn't hate it, didn't love it, but definitely couldn't find the melodic genius they used to have. It's still technically impressive, but all in all feels kinda rehashed, imo.

I'd like to recommend you guys the Canadian band Woods of Ypres, a black/melodic/doom/borderline-pop/metal band. Their album "Pursuit of the Sun & Allure of the Earth" is a freaking masterpiece to me, and the rest is pretty good too and will please non metalheads as well. I had the pleasure to attend one of their shows in Toronto a couple years ago before the singer David Gold tragically passed away earlier this year right after he finally signed to a major label.

Finally, anyone into Alestorm ? If not, what's wrong with you that you don't like PIRATE METAL ?

I had the pleasure of playing two shows with Woods. My band opened for them in Regina and Saskatoon on two consecutive tour dates when our schedules crossed paths. They were awesome guys and great performers. The whole Winnipeg metal scene wore black armbands that christmas.
