Bigfooty General Metal Thread Mk.VII

[Paul Kersey]

New Revenge.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Went to my mother's house in Thornbury for lunch. Thought I'd buy the new Ambush on vinyl at Thornbury Records as CBF waiting for cd in post. Ended up buying 9 records including 3 I already have on cd.

Brats lp. First appearance of Sherman/Denner on a full length back from 1980. Current Stormwarrior bassist on bass and vocals. Think I have a cdr of it somewhere but nice to have the vinyl repress.

Solid new release, although this song drifts into questionable territory here and there.

Listening to the album now and really enjoying it, particularly the vocals.

So much boring stuff. Checked out new Revenge and not feeling it. Not sure you can do that sort of metal with clean production. No wonder I just stick to my same 10 or so bands.

 

[Prince St]

New Odraza record is tight

Enjoying it. Drumming is mental per usual. Good in the gym.

I'm the opposite
Liking the music, nothing standoutish but good. Yet the vocals are a pass.
I'm picky with vocals

Entombed - Wolverine Blues

Back to this one again. Awesome album with so many great riffs

1050 years, into Exercises in Futility, into The Last Command.

Reading that Metal Blade has used different masters on the MF/KD vinyl reissues for Europe and America. Apparently the European pressed ones have the ‘right’ audio. Some posters on ROD are not happy. I wonder why MB would do this. Assume cd is the same. Think Utopia has the US pressings. I don’t need any but if you are, perhaps try and get the Euro pressing.

Good playlist.

Good playlist.

I'm in the mood for The Cult, might get through Love and Electric this week. Duffy is a criminally underrated guitarist.

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Tonight im listening to Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness & Atheist - Elements

Might move onto Cynic afterwards

Another good band. Like the late 80s era hard rock. Think I have some of the later cds but never really listened to them.

Malevolent Creation - ID. Good gym music.

You'll enjoy them live, once we're out of this. The early stuff is a post-punk/gothic/new romantic style (we've all heard She Sells Sanctuary plenty of times), it's from Electric (third album) where they moved completely into hard rock.

 

[SydneyBomber]

Atheist - Elements

First person I've ever seen that likes that 'elements'!
Love their first two (and enjoyed their comeback), but never clicked with elements - losing the steve flynn was just too big a blow for me to get over at the time.

Yep, the cult are great - both love and electric are amazing.
Stuff before and after that a bit hit and miss, but some good stuff in there.
Funny to think of what might have happened if billy duffy stayed with morrissey (smiths) instead of leaving manchester (and morrissey meeting johnny marr etc)

Well i listened to 'Elements' before anything else from Atheist. I like all their stuff to be honest. Not sure how i'd rank them but ive probably listened to Elements and Piece of Time more than their other 2

 

[dwwaino]

I've been watching a heap of these. The guy that made them is brilliant

 

[Pacman82]

Just listening to some ancient s**t this week, the Martyr album goes alright..



Might check out this Michael Jordan documentary everyone's carrying on about shortly

 

[Paul Kersey]

Stargazer and Macabre Omen on evening stroll. Borknagar now just because it was the first cd I grabbed. Not sure about the clean vocals - think most of the clean vocals in extreme metal suck. Most of them cannot sing and many have that similar vanilla sounding voice. However, musically it is enjoyable.
