Bigfooty General Metal Thread Mk.VII

[Paul Kersey]

Bit of Phantom V. Easy listening rock with a bloke who looks like Glenn Robbins.

Not sure what is up next, probably something a bit more aggressive.

Walked past my wife’s dressing room just now and she’s playing Quiet Riot ‘Condition Critical’. Not sure how or why.

Edit: was the boy’s Spotify playlist going.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Metalucifer here now.

I've been listening to spotify's heavy metal radio a bit. Most of it's stuff I know but every so often I'll hear a band I've never even heard of before and go "Wow".

Amaranthe are a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. Their music is pretty far from great but its catchy and (like you said) the juxtaposed vocalists are cool. Its obviously pretty 'radio friendly' metal that could potentially get people who never listen to metal interested. For instance, a mate of mine thought they sounded good, despite - in his words - the screaming.

Another good example of a 'guilty pleasure' type band. I think bands like Amaranthe, Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, Babymetal etc can provide a bit of a gateway to other forms of metal. The music doesn't really have depth and its pretty easy to digest which is not necessarily a bad thing. If im in the mood, ill listen to that stuff and even get a bit of a kick out of it too.

I've been listening to a fair bit of Immolation recently. I'm not sure which album is my favourite but I'm giving Dawn of Possession a spin tonight and it'd be up there.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Bit of Slapshot on now. Classic US HC.

I think they did no wrong up until and including Unholy Cult. Material afterwards still good but doesn't have the same feeling to me.

That new Kroda - Selbstwelt finally out for physical purchase this week as it had only been digital so far. Might try and plug some holes in my Kroda backlog while I’m at it.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Ironflame on now. Did I tell you to check them out Dee Snider ?

Nope. I think you’ve secretly been keeping all the good stuff to yourself. Reminds me a bit of Visigoth.

Yeah, both bands do the style well.

Hey...do you own a physical copy of Unanimated’s “Ancient God of Evil”?

Nah, never got that one. Think it's due a reissue shortly.

That one is a classic. Did you see them when they came out here a little while ago?

Favourite albums would be 1. Close To A World Below 2. Unholy Cult 3. Here In After

I like them all but the early albums are particularly muddy sounding which is sort of their signature sound imo.

 

[Magus]

Just two weeks away. Hopefully they play this.

Gonna be an interesting setlist. Only one hour each night so imagine we'll get more or less Black up your Soul/For Satan & Sacrifice type setlist with a couple of newer tracks. Satanasword is probably my favourite album, though doubt anything from it. Doing a few Metalucifer tracks on the Sunday show too - hopefully Flight of Iron Pegasus and Heavy Metal Ironfists get played. I saw Metalucifer in Singapore a few years back and they played a couple of Sabbat songs, only ones I remember were Black Metal Scythe and Black Fire. Assume Mion's Hill will be a set closer.......

 

[Paul Kersey]

Am I the only one who went and saw Ross the Boss? If so, leave the hall thanks guys.

 

[Dee Snider]

Apollo Ra’s ‘Ra Pariah’.

Forgotten gem from the 80s. Slow start but when it gets going it’s superb. Fair set of pipes here - early Queensrÿche-like. Slotting in very well after Lethal’s ‘Programmed’ disc which I just had on.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Baptism and Behexen over here.

 

[dwwaino]

Just another Polish gem on

 

[dwwaino]

Need to get a copy of this one. I only seem to remember it when I'm on a Polish binge.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Sabbat and Behexen for drive into work.

 

[Dee Snider]

New Riot V is superb. Slows down a bit on the 2nd half but that only adds to its appeal. A couple of the mid paced tracks are real highlights. Highly recommend this.
