Since no one mentioned it, the new singer for Kamelot is now officially Tommy Karevik, which I think most people are likely really happy with.

Very pleased with the choice, I think he'll fit in very nicely. Has the same type of smooth, melancholic voice as Khan.

anyone listen to the new gojira yet?

anyone listen to the new gojira yet?

Yeah, I'm really enjoying it, and it might be my favorite release from them despite it being their most straightforward.

It's easily their most well-produced album, the rhythm and groove is still there, the drums are on another level, and the vocals seal the deal with how emotive they are.

I could definitely see it being a disappointment for fans of their more progressive side, but it's incredible for what it is.

[DieNgamers]

Aaah, nothing more relaxing than listening to Om in the evening right before falling to sleep! A new song, even...It's 23 o clock here. : )

edit: have necrophagist released anything new?

This is what I found:

Legendary gore metal pioneers NECROPHAGIA have announced that the band's upcoming release, "WhiteWorm Cathedral", will feature the return of Mirai Kawashima (SIGH) on keyboards/synthesizer. Both NECROPHAGIA mainman Frank "Killjoy" Pucci and Mirai have stated that really miss working together. According to NECROPHAGIA, "The keyboards will be Mirai's most horrific and chilling yet!"

"WhiteWorm Cathedral" will tentatively be released this Halloween.

Oops nevermind, wrong band. Got Necrophagia and Necrophagist mixed up :/

I've been hooked on the first song...mainly the last 1/3 of it.

I think I maybe the only one who can not get into Gojira. My friend is swearing by the band, but the more I listen to them (on youtube) the more I despise them. They radiate certain Nu-metal vibe from what I can interprit.

They have a pretty unique sound that might not appeal to you, but I don't see any nu-metal comparisons.

Do you dislike Meshuggah by chance? Maybe the whole focus on rhythm just isn't your thing.

I dont really care for them either. They have a kind of mechanical sound i dislike, and for some reason i keep getting Fear Factory vibes from them, which doesnt help. :lol

So why is there no plug.dj (gaf?) metal room yet? How about meeting there from time to time and share some metal love? Maybe you all use turntable...That's not available here in europe, though.

Everything about the song is so right. Billys voice, Skolnicks solos, the pacing, the sound.

And since the first single is usually one of the weaker songs, I can't wait to hear the rest.

The new Ulver, Childhood's End, owns so much, even though its not metal at all. But if you love 60s/70s psychedelic rock its worth a listen.

Yeah it's pretty good. Been on a big Ulver kick myself lately. Lots of Perdition City and Blood Inside. Great albums.

Maybe that is the reason. and yes, I can't seem to enjoy Meshuggah for the same reason.

I can do without the spoken word samples but the song is outstanding. Definitely feeling the more aggressive styling.

New Agalloch is awesome. I really wish it was part of a full length CD though.

I can't get into Gojira as much and I think this is part of it. They're pretty good for a chuggy band, like Meshuggah, but they just don't do a whole heckuva lot for me. I feel like there's not enough variety, and definitely not enough melody. Meshuggah I can get into a bit more because it's so pointedly different than anything else in that regard, and the focus on rhythm is laser sharp. I realize Gojira isn't actually nu-metal, but I get what he's saying. I kind of get an odd vibe like that too.

Gojira definitely has a more organic sound that usually revolves around slight variations. It's a sound I can't tolerate for extended periods, but it's a unique experience to crank up and soak in a album's worth of material.

I definitely recommend checking out their newest even if you weren't a huge fan in the past though. I've always appreciated certain aspects/songs from them, but something about their sound as a whole on this CD does it for me on almost every track.

I'm not a fan of the other bonus track, but this one should've made its way onto the release:

I fuckin dig! Love that agression element missing from "The Gathering" album. So far so good.

anyone listen to the new gojira yet?

Yeah. Sounds like shit. Almost every song sounds the same ala Iced Earth and there's several songs you have to wait over 1-2 minutes til you hear a different hook/riff/etc. Lame. However, there are few songs like Liquid Fire, The Fall and Born in Winter that stand out. So that's ok. So if you're expecting any catchy/heavy/etc material ala From Mars to Sirius, look elsewhere.

[MetalGuardian]

I'm surprised to see so many people down on Gojira. I've never been able to get into their previous releases, but I'm finding their new album to be killer. Maybe it's because I haven't burned out on their style yet since I don't spin them very often

Yeah I already checked out their newest one a few times. It's unique and it's ok for once in a while. It's kind of how I feel about Meshuggah. It's something cool to crank once in a while, but I just can't do it a lot. The songs started to sound kind of samey throughout. Nothing really stood out or differentiated itself from the rest of the album to me.
