Blind Guardian will be releasing their new live album in July. Three discs (or 4 LP's). Songs were selected from the EU tour from their last album and they picked the best performances from about 30 shows (similar approach to their 2003 album Live).
Tracklist:
CD 1
1.The Ninth Wave
2.Banish From Sanctuary
3.Nightfall
4.Prophecies
5.Tanelorn
6.The Last Candle
7.And Then There Was Silence
CD 2
1.The Lord of the Rings
2.Fly
3.Bright Eyes
4.Lost In the Twilight Hall
5.Imaginations From the Other Side
6.Into the Storm
7.Twilight of the Gods
8.A Past and Future Secret
9.And the Story Ends
CD 3
1.Sacred Worlds
2.The Bards Song (In the Forest)
3.Valhalla
4.Wheel of Time
5.Majesty
6.Mirror Mirror
I love the band and I am looking forward to this package. A bit predictable selections of songs though (they played much more during the tour), and the cover is boring.

Steve, Dukes ruined a lot of the classic songs but live shows got more crazy. I had more fun at Exodus shows with Dukes, but glad Steve is back in, just do not let him write anymore songs

Wasn't Blood In Blood Out entirely Holt? I know the album was originally recorded with Dukes vocals before he was ousted for Zetro
Unless you're referring to something.

I thought he had writing credit on a couple songs on the album, oh well. Hatriot proves Steve should stay far away from songwriting

Very very good tonight even with the shitty sound at the arena, paperless tickets worked really well, wandered in about 8 ish and it was a breeze, can't wait to see them again in a couple of weeks.
And Zetro for me, I didn't mind Dukes but I always felt something was missing, then again the last two times I've seen them Holt has been MIA so I guess there is still something missing.

I don't know much of Fear Factory, but I did see them once 3.5 years ago in Anaheim, CA. They were opening for Megadeth. Nobody seemed to know who they were or were just tired from the guys before them. I don't know their shit, so I wasn't moving much cause I was trying to hear their playing. I liked what I heard, but most of the crowd wasn't reacting...at all. Well the band got pissed. "WE WEREN'T ON K-ROQ PLAYING BACKYARDS AND SHIT, WE'RE REAL LA METAL SHIT." They play the next song, signature song I assume. Crowd reacts better, but still kinda dead. "WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS SHIT FOR YEARS" Crowd starts booing. This goes on for the rest of the show. Every 2 songs, rants about how authentic they are lol.
They played for 45 minutes, but that shit felt like a whole 90 minutes. Still the best "worst" show I've seen.

Dukes
With Dukes they felt like a relevant band, with Zetro they are a nostalgia act. Saw them with King Diamond (minus Holt) and it was a joke, especially with Zetro's stage banter consisting of "YEAH THIS ONE'S FOR ALL THE OLD SCHOOLERS! OLD SCHOOL! REMEMBER WHEN WE TOURED WITH CELTIC FROST IN THE 80S? OLD SCHOOL!"
People can hate Dukes all they want for being a big dumb ignorant idiot, dude put on a much better show.
Then again Exodus is too lazy to change their setlist for the past 7+ years so they obviously don't care. There's obviously demos of Blood In, Blood Out with Dukes so he's not completely absolved of guilt but that album is straight up trash. "half way no way give it all you got! we wrote the book so you better know the plot!" fuck you
Yeah sounded good. But then again Chris Jericho is the greatest of all time and the best at what he does.

Wikipedia says hes got one credit for Body Harvest but everything else was Holt outside of one song which was Atlus. Doesn't say what he contributed though. Could be something as small as a riff.
I feel like Holt just writes differently with Dukes than he does with Zetro which is why the Exhibit albums sound ao different from their other stuff.
I can see the nostalgia act complaint though ive yet to see them live.
i really like Blood in Blood Out though

New Boris "25th anniversary album" Dear on July 10th
Absolutego (yyyup)
Dunno, Noise was alright, maybe they dive back into their drone/doom roots a bit more again. But if they kinda "revisit" their past 25 years then I guess it's gonna be another half-baked jack of all trades album yet again.
I'll go listen to the proper Absolutego now.

Anyone catching the Shining/Revenge tour this month?
I'm always stoked to see Revenge and it'll be nice seeing Shining play more stuff I actually want to hear. Their opening slot tour last year was like 3 from the last album (which I don't care for) 1 from Halmstad (which I love) and a cover (indifferent)
Headline sets from late last year are looking like 2 from each album (IV onward)
People tend to hate Shining because Niklas is the Bam Margera edgelord of black metal, but I really dig their output from Eerie Cold onwards (even if their last album went too far into Opeth territory for my preference)

Napalm Death tonight, should be fun, lock up, power trip and brujeria o the bill too.
Oh no! I know them personally, very cool guys. This is ridiculous.
Damn, this line-up would end up killing someone around here, Napalm Death and specially Brujeria concerts here in Brazil have a huge amount of blood and injuries all over the venue, lol.

Esoteric - The Maniacal Vale (Full Album)
Not sure if this is what you meant, but Esoteric are known to experiment with psychedelics when writing and playing. This album is like a massive trip down the abyss.

Works for me. LSD is some scary shit, I'm naturally a pretty anxious and sometimes paranoid, so I'm sure I would have a bad trip on LSD or something similar. Fuck that.
I'll have to listen to this one.

It's a very tough listen. And this album is their ....more accessible album. Two discs of unadulterated dissonance. The vocalist, Greg Chandler, uses a number of effects on his vocals to make them sound like sound effects more than traditional vocals. The first song, Circle, Quickening and Silence are some incredibly gutchurning tracks.

Wow, good job we just had stagedivers and a pit, hottest gig I've been to in a long time, Napalm were amazing, not keen on Brujeria to be honest.

Epistemological Despondency would be a complete fucking nightmare when tripping. Just The Noise of Depression would be enough to send off down a nightmare road. Very easily.

Yeah, that's one raw as fuck record. No bullshit, no fancy shenanigans. Just straight up crushing psychedelia
Weird dig up of a kind of old post, but aren't you in True Black Dawn? If so, your band is very very very fucking good. So good on you for summoning that up. Also your Medico Peste love makes me think you have rad taste.
You mind giving me some other suggestions of some more abrasive kind of stuff. Love Medico Peste a ton.
*I also love the new White Ward but I don't know if they count as particularly savage, lol*

Well obviously there's a lot of Metal albums that celebrate drugs (Stoner Metal), but one album I know of that's critical would be "Addicted" by Devin Townsend. It was an album he made after becoming drug-free, and it has a very upbeat tone. I'm sure you've heard it already though.

Yep. Thanks for the compliment. We still have two unreleased songs left from the recordings, and a split EP is in the works now that we found a suitable band for it.
I was pleasantly surprised by MP using Inside Flesh for the artwork. I've been a fan of their art for quite some time.
Here's some notable EPs, that might be to your fancy:
Dark Sonority - Kaosrekviem
Cornigr - Funereal Harvest
Adaestuo - Tacent Semitae (a new album is currently in post-production)
+ Tyranny's Aeons in Tectonic Internment album, if funeral doom isn't out of the question.
Thanks!

That Tyranny album is very good.
Makes me miss Wormphlegm. I still have the Tomb of the Ancient King or whatever it was called LP Painiax put out around here somewhere.

Just for fun, someone made an AI that generates metal band names based on M-A data:
https://www.facebook.com/metal.archives/posts/1350292941675034
Genres don't quite match ("Inbumblious" should definitely be death/goregrind, and "Suffer the Blue" is totally metalcore), but damn if "Sux (heavy metal/rock from Chile)" doesn't sound credible. xD

Which albums have you checked out from them?
Blackwater Park and Lamentations live.

Hmmm. Check out Ghost Reveries for more modern Opeth, and Still Life for Opeth more related to what you've just heard.
Melchiah

It certainly is. Funeral doom isn't one of my favorite genres, but their album stands out for me. Love the guttural vocals as well.
Wormphlegm's demo 2001 is also good.

Good Mastodon show in Pittsburgh last night,.I thought the vocals seemed a little buried in the mix compared to the last time I saw them, but everything sounded great and tons of energy.
