Bigfooty General Metal Thread Mk.VI

[TheGoatBaron]

Not a fan of Prog Metal, sorry Mr. Prince.

 

[Dee Snider]

I love Behemoth - Satanist. Sounds like a more brutal Demigod and not as techy as the last couple. To me it sounds genuinely evil, almost a "**** you, god. You didn't kill me."

Count me in too guys, really enjoyed the Satanist release.

 

[Schauermann]

@Behemoth: Sventevith >>>>> everything else, hardly ever listen to something theirm other stuff...

This Year: Well, only release I have really been interested in are Mysticum and Primordial. But Mysticum is still on its way and Primordial I will buy within in the next few days...

 

[Dee Snider]

I have new Primordial on order and can't wait.

Been on a bit of a Testament binge today with my fav album still "The Gathering". Awesome stuff. Read that their new material is in the same vein as Gathering as they wanted to head back to that direction. Good news with the last couple being a little metal-lite in my opinion.

I like that era too The Gathering and Low albums are quality. Testament hasn't made a bad album in my opinion. Should be in the Big 4 of Thrash Metal, but that's for another day that opinion, I'd probably offend somebody with that opinion. LOL

 

[Ed_Gein]

I didn't mind 2014 for metal. I think i really enjoyed Blut aus Nord, Mare Cognitum, Saor, Winterfylleth, Woods of Desolation, Pestilential Shadows, Darkspace, Harakiri for the Sky.

Ghost Brigade, Taake and Bloodbath were alright too, didn't like the Agalloch one too much but i only listened to it once, is it worth going back to?

 

[dwwaino]

I still haven't heard latest BAN. Where does it sit in regards to the others? Vetusta II being my favourite closely followed by TWWTG.

utensil Sparrer have been a favourite of mine for years. Good stuff.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Now listening to Sargeist – Feeding the Crawling Shadows. This album was unlucky not to make my top 12 best albums. Excellent Black Metal.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

utensil Sparrer have been a favourite of mine for years. Good stuff.

Good fun band they are. I got the album Shock Troops!!! I found them via Tankard who did one of their covers "We're Coming Back" and finally listened to the original album where that song came from. Indeed it is good stuff.

 

[dwwaino]

Holy s**t, I forgot about Sargeist . Thanks for reminding me. Need to go find Satanic Black Devotion later. Don't have a turntable at the moment but have the LP pressing of Tyranny Returns somewhere.

The Muses are a great music distro mate and have Sargeist in, I got a couple of Sargeist CD's from them.

I'm now listening to Blood Mantra by Decapitated.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Just listened to Vader's new album then, the thing that stands out for me is the intros, some are quite epic especially the last song The End. Great album.

Now listening to Wordless Hope by Inborn Suffering.

 

[Pacman82]

Speaking of metal and books..got this little beauty not so long ago....

Yeah I think Agalloch is worth going back to - its a real grower...

 

[Ed_Gein]

I'll give it another listen then i think! It didn;t really sound like an Agalloch album on first listen if i have to be honest, but i will check it out again.

I think all Agalloch albums are like that first, they need time to fully appreciate them.

I thought 2014 was a good year for Heavy Metal, so many good releases missed out on my best of list

 

[Nickos66]

New Dark Funeral song/clip.



... Meh.

Really not a fan of the new singer, also preferred Matte Modin's drums compared to the current guy too.

Watched this the other day. So so. Have not really ever gotten into them although I have one album ( name eludes me) from about 10 years ago.
