The new Deathspell Omega EP is so good. It's up on Spotify too, for those with 21 minutes to kill.

[Mr. Sandman]

~ 30 minute set from the thrash group Power Trip who was signed by Southern Lord recently....awesome band. It seems like everyone wants to stage dive around the camera guy.

[brinstar]

Any Carcass fans around? I've been into their stuff over the years (and pretty much anything with Bill Steer in it) but man recently I've been obsessed with the Necroticism album. I know Heartwork's the fan favorite these days and I think that album is also incredible but something about the riffs on Necroticism...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaOjq...&feature=share

Here's them playing Lavaging Expectorate and Exhume to Consume live. Ugh man if only I was born a decade earlier :(

[strafer]

Amon Amarth kicks some major ass.

Shame they aren't on Spotify.

Yeah, Necroticsim is great. Need to buy it again, one of the many albums I've managed to lose due to a ton of moving :/ I did get to see them on their 1994 tour (Life of Agony opening along with Monster Voodoo Machine and Seducer), Carlo Regadas was on guitar then. I do have pictures from that show somewhere...

[Gr1mLock]

Just seen on Metalsucks that Randy Blythe has been arrested in Prague for manslaughter! Apparently stemming from some onstage altercation in which the victim later died.

WTF? Im hoping this is some shitty elaborate joke.

Hey, metalgaf what are the five best albums so far this year ?
I'm ashamed to say I've been kinda out of the loop.

Hey, metalgaf what are the five best albums so far this year ? I'm ashamed to say I've been kinda out of the loop.

Some of the best is yet to come (new DOWN, Cathedral :O ) but:


My favourite album of the last few years! Absolutely relentless and brutal stuff! The new Meshugga has been praised as well. For a different flavour try the new Torche album (Harmonicraft) and the new Baroness (Yellow&Green). Both go into a more soft direction...not my kind of music but I can see why people are digging it.

[Melchiah]

The Sun of Moloch: The Darkest Fyre
http://nuclearwarnowproductions.band...death-and-life

The Sun of Moloch: The Sublimation of Sulphur's Essence Which Spawns Death and Life Ave Shamash! Ave Antu! Ave Sekhmet! From the deepest womb of the world we shall summon forth the flaming beast! After the complete merging of ‘In Utter Darkness’ to thy hearts, WRATHPRAYER reveal you the solemn words of the flickering flame. A sacred union of nine elements which incarnate the telluric current of Death and Obscurity in a ceremony of 40 minutes. This is the ultimate essence of the Sun-God, embodied in the flesh pillars for our temple. The matriarchal fusion of deity, victim and spirit…all in one through the Sulphur’s possession of the self. Behold the entheogenesis of fyre!

Invokes pleasant memories of Incantation.

[HammerOfThor]

What do you like?
Testament's Dark Roots of Earth. Sure its not out yet, but when it is it will be amazing.

Well some of my favorites are iron maiden, 3 inches of blood, sigh, and therion.

You're not the only one. I haven't been interested in much this year so far.

[blahness]

So far:

Drudkh - Eternal Turn of the Wheel

Windhand - Windhand

High On Fire - De Vermis Mysteriis

[Mr. Sandman]

Hey, metalgaf what are the five best albums so far this year ? I'm ashamed to say I've been kinda out of the loop.

High On Fire - De Vermis Mysteriis
Royal Thunder - CVI
Rush - Clockwork Angels
Corrosion of Conformity - Corrosion of Conformity
Municipal Waste - The Fatal Feast

[OmegaDragon]

Well some of my favorites are iron maiden, 3 inches of blood, sigh, and therion.

You know there's a new Sigh album out? Also you should look into the new Diablo Swing Orchestra

I've been listening to the new Diablo Swing Orchestra. A delightful mix of symphonic/prog/avant-garde metal with swing as usual. It seems they toned down the opera vocals on this album compared to the other two. Give them a listen! Guerilla Laments Voodoo Mon Amour /url]

Some more I like of this year

Christian Mistress - Possesion (heavy metal with female vocals)
Mgla - With Hearts Towards None (black metal)
Lunar Aurora - Hoagascht (BM)
Ne Obliviscaris - Portal Of I

The new Ihsahn will probably be good as usual, check it out if you like prog with a black touch

[brinstar]

I do have pictures from that show somewhere...

ah man, that's awesome. I'm a fiend for all the late 80s/early 90s UK grind/death metal bands that were popping up at that time, but I was too young to ever have seen them in their prime. I even missed Carcass' 2008 reunion tour as that was before I had realized how incredible they were .__.

Some of the best is yet to come (new DOWN, Cathedral :O )

wow, a fellow Cathedral fan? this thread rules. Another incredible band that I'm bummed I never got to see and now they've broken up...

[Secks4Food]

Some of my favorites from this year include:

Ihsahn-Emerita
Orange Goblin-A Eulogy for the Damned
Pallbearer-Sorrow and Extinction
Ne Obliviscaris - Portal Of I
High on Fire-De Vermis Mysteriis
Panopticon-Kentucky

And if you include EP's, Agalloch's new EP Faustian Echoes is easily my favorite song of the year thus far, still gotta check out the new Deathspell Omega too.

[SpartanForce]

And yeah, I dig Cathedral too :P Well, up until around and including Caravan beyond Redemption >_>

When I was doing radio for a few years, I based my show name and On-Air name after Carcass stuff.

Glimpse of Carcass related stuff I owned.


Have a bunch of shirts, tour memorabilia, promos, cassettes, etc too.

[sazabirules]

I haven't been keeping up with metal releases in a longtime. I might buy the third DSO album. I loved the first two.

Alright, Carcass pictures from 1994. Picture quality ranges from crap to OK. I used a disposable camera for these and it was dark more often than not, also a crowd at a Death Metal show tends to be rambunctious so ... yeah.

A friend, Jeff Walker, myself: Jeff Walker during the show: Carlo Regadas during the show: Alan Robert & Joey Z from Life of Agony and Ken Owen: Me, Carlo Regadas and 2 friends: Me, Bill Steer and same 2 friends: Bill Steer doing sound check: Jeff and Bill behind the dude in Immolation shirt heh: Carlo on stage: Jeff on stage behind another dude's head:

So, there ya go, craptastic 18 year old pictures of Carcass :P

'91, I bet that stuff is raw haha! I know there is a dongle or PCI card you can buy that could aid in that :D Don't know what those run in price though.

Perhaps I'll look into how much they cost, as I've got a lot of ther gigs from that era that I'd like to transfer to PC. The PCI card is out of question though, as I've got only a laptop.

[Aggrotek]

Just discovered this band.

Slow Death
Really diggin' their sound.

[Seraphis Cain]

Hey guys, check this out. I've been following this band for nearly three years now, and they're just about to release their first album. They're called Svartalvheim, and they're an Australian symphonic death metal band. Check out this track from the album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfFvOmgpfIU

Seriously, it's SO FUCKING GOOD.

[Jharp]

Holy shit thanks for posting that Iron Maiden setlist ShaneB! Seeing them on August 10th in Irvine, CA, and man that setlist is balls to the wall awesome.

This'll be my sixth time seeing the greatest band of all time and I'm pumped as fuck. Only thing that bums me a bit is that my favorite Maiden song is Infinite Dreams, and between the five times I've seen them since 2006, they've never once played it, and I had high hopes to see it on tour this time, but that doesn't look to be the case. I'd still hold out hope if I didn't know the band so well that I know they hold pretty steady to a single setlist for a leg of their tour. I really can't complain though because man that setlist is awesome, and in all fairness I've seen them play Rime of the Ancient Mariner not once, not twice, but three motherfucking times, so that really alone makes up for it.

Also, my first Maiden show was the A Matter of Life and Death tour, and fuck every single one of the haters because that album was fantastic, and seeing it played in its entirety live will stand as one of the greatest days of my life. Just knowing they'll never play half of those songs for the rest of their career and I got to see them. For the Greater Good of God, Lord of Light, and The Legacy are among Maiden's best songs. In any case, I'm pretty hopeful that I'll get to see Infinite Dreams live one day, and I'm content with that hope. This setlist is pretty fantastic regardless.

[Flynn]

Here's a Spotify playlist of that Maiden England set list.

[DanaInPurple]

In case someone missed it :p

New song "Burning Leaves" that they have been playing lately during live shows

And the cover for the upcoming album "Unsung Heroes" .......... Can't fucking wait!

hah, Carlo Regadas....the guitarist that everyone forgot in the depths of hell along with John Hand from Death.

How were they in person for that tour? I've read a lot how they were completely uninterested during that entire Swansong recording/touring.

[Bootaaay]

Ok, this is pretty awesome - intricate instrumental melo-death;

I love melo death when there isn't any lyrics. I find melo death lyrics are just boring and a pain to listen to. That album is pretty good.

[Saften]

The New Zealandian sludge metal band BEASTWARS just released a music video for their song "Empire" and it's fucking sweet: BEASTWARS - EMPIRE

You can listen to their album on bandcamp: Beastwars bandcamp

It's one of my favourite metal albums from 2011.

[Blackheim]

Yeah, people forget about poor Carlo and tend to only remember Amott and Hickey :P

Well, from what I remember Carlo was actually super cool and didn't mind hanging out, bullshitting about whatever. The other guys were more aloof, pleasant enough, but much more of a doing the business thing. Understandable and they still took time to shake hands/take pictures, so no complaints. I don't know that I'd day they were disinterested when I saw them, possibly though. As I said, they seemed more about getting the show ready and done, close to a going through the motions vibe I guess *shrug*. All in all, a good time from what I do remember of it.

[Cactus]

The new Sons of Otis album is so good.

Anyone in the York, PA area should come to The Depot on July 13th. Not for Bunsen Burner or even for Skeletonwitch, but for Warhawk. The bar owner has no clue how to put together a metal show and despite knowing the members of the band personally for years, threw Warhawk from playing third into the opening slot (despite a Warhawk member organizing the show and booking Skeletonwitch in the first place) and having some Black Sabbath cover band play before the two touring bands. Since I know the band members and used to live a block from the bar, my friends and I are going there to see Warhawk open and then getting fucked up and raising hell at the place. Should be a hoot and holler!

Listen to "Projected Aggression" off Warhawk's debut album here, then come to The Depot to make noise and drink beer.
