Septicflesh's new single "The Order of Dracul"
It's pretty awesome, I discover new things with every repeat.

Dark Fortress "Eidolon" is ridiculous. Every element of this album is masterful, especially the vocals. Disgusting album.

New Sceptic Flesh this year too? Freaking fantastic, this year is absolutely stacked.
The song is incredible as well. Listened to it a good six or seven times in a row.
I fucking hate soundcloud. Seriously is there a reason its 500 percent louder than everything?

Morean's vocals definitely make it for me. He's also awesome on the radial covenant.

As much as I hate St. Anger, I would arguably rather listen to St. Anger than The Black Album. Which goes to show how much I hate The Black Album.
Both albums are absolutely terrible, regardless.

Really? That's crazy talk! The Unforgiven is my jam, and something something something opinions.
I think The Black Album did an admirable job of making metal accessible while still retaining the spirit of the genre. Definitely nowhere near one of my favorite albums, but it was a nice way for the music to get more exposure without forsaking the roots.
It was the beginning of the end (or maybe the end of the end) for Metallica though, and that's sad. Time to go listen to Ride the Lightning to cheer me up!
Sounds the same to me :/

For sure. He's great at throat singing, especially on Antiversum.
It literally scared the shit out of me. Song's not bad though.
Cmon. The Black Album is a great pop-metal album. Regardless of how you feel about the direction Metallica took, I think objectively it is a catchy and well made album.
St. Anger has poor production, terrible lyrics, and is not catchy in the slightest.

I realize it's a very unpopular opinion, but I stand by it. Just remember, both albums are absolute anathema to me.
I realize that. I just wish more people would articulate their opinions rather than just saying "this sucks". Especially if the opinion is unpopular

Anybody like Dying Fetus? I haven't seen them mentioned.

I love their riffs and drumming. Heavy as fuck but still clear and crisp! The breakdowns are done really well too unlike the wave of "deathcore" bands that came through a couple of years ago.

Destroy the Opposition was a favorite of mine in High School. I listened to it again recently, and it's still really good. The vocals could be a bit better, but the music is excellent.
Just watched it and thought it was pretty good. Hard to cover a lot in 50 minutes, but it manages to hit most of the evolutionary points with enough detail.
There are some notable omissions, but they can't just go name dropping bands the entire time.

Motherfracking Communion. It is by far my favorite symphonic metal album ever. It's so varied and tight and beautiful in how the ugly and harsh guitars and vocals play against the intense orchestration.
It also has my absolute favorite song about Lovecraft. The final lines of the song give me goosebumps just about every time I hear them.
Your time is out you saw too much
You used the silver key
You know too well that minds like yours
Can never rest in peace
You stared at the abyss
You'll never rest in peace
You'll never rest in peace
The Great Mass is also fantastic, but it struck me as less ambitious than Communion.
I still can't believe how many of my favorite bands are dropping new albums this year.
Agalloch. High Spirits. Mastodon. BLIND FREAKING GUARDIAN *gushes*. Now Septic Flesh! There are others I've drank too much to remember at the moment too. This year is just going to be spectacular for metal.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Agalloch tour dates! They're playing right in my neighborhood. Awesome.
Also, this is from last week, but I don't remember seeing it posted; it's the first review of the new album: http://www.stereogum.com/1672221/pr...t-the-sphere/franchises/premature-evaluation/
West coast dates are coming later.

And they aren't playing in Arizona. Pffft.
Regardless, I can't remember the last time I've been anticipating a new album. I didn't like Marrow as much as Ashes/Mantle, but I'll keep an open mind for this new album.

Mantle is my go-to winter album. Definitely in my top ten albums ever. It is breathtakingly gorgeous, especially the intro track plus the first main track. Such a powerful look at suicide.

I love this little Torche instrumental:
Triumph of Venus. So positively hectic and heavy!

Interesting that there's no supporting bands listed for Agalloch's Denver date...if they just play a double set I'll jump for joy!

I think I saw them live once, it was ratjer dull. Dont know if I have listened to any album material. What would you recommend.
I recommend looking at Sumerian Daemons. It's different: less bombastic, slower paced and it has also slighty industrial elements. Communion is similar in style as The Great Mass. I prefer TGM, it feels more realised. I'm not too familiar with the other albums, but I think they are more like SD, slower paced with gothic/doom elements.
Funny, I consider The Mantle to be an autumn album. I associate it forests turning brown as opposed to with cold and snow. But perhaps your winter is more similar to my autumn.

Revolution DNA is my personal favourite. It's just way more varied and interesting than the later albums.
Hahahaha apparently I can't read, got the album title wrong.

I'm seriously jealous of you. Did they play anything off of Fade?
Vader just released a song from their coming album: Where Angels Weep, which is nice because:
a) It's new Vader, and Vader freaking kicks ass.
and
b) It reminded me that I needed to listen to more Vader.

I've been listening to Machine Head by Deep Purple almost non-stop today. One hell of an album.

I didn't care for anything Mastodon did after Leviathan, but I always check out their material anyway, just to see if I personally like their next album.
And....I'm not sure if I'll like their new album. Skip.
Thats bad ass

I don't think you got the name wrong, though. The Drip? Really?
Nope. It was a pretty Subsume/Beacons-heavy set. I don't remember the exact setlist, but Google has it from other shows on the tour and I'm pretty sure it was the same:
1. The wamth of the daytime seemed like a dream now.
2. A weather front was stalled out in the Pacific
3. Here, wait a minute! Damn it!
4. We're goin' in. We're going down.
5. Seriosity
6. You and Yours
7. Dysphoria
8. You could laugh forever but never end up happy.
9. Push it way up!

I dug out my old ipod and listened to their latest release, Reign Supreme, from 2012. It's not as good as I once thought. Still, its not bad for a trio. It would be interesting to see three guys do this live. Surely they had a killer pit at the show you were at. I think many people consider this to be their best. Its a good album to listen to all the way through, although the second half is the best. Here's the whole thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eskEhb66DWU

Can I get some recommendations for bands that sounds like Dyscarnate? Fucking love their sound, but only two albums 
I like the slower deliberated heavy riffs... like this bit onwards in 'Kingdom of the Blind'.
The Promethean

Ugh. Just realised why I never see this thread pop up. God damn community.

For real. He literally radiates the "legend" vibe. Regardless of how Ozzy is doing at the moment (seems increeedibly hit-or-miss) the show is definitely worth it regardless for Iommi alone.

Nothing about band names surprises me anymore.
Yeah, I'm kinda eh on this also. I wasn't fond of Black Tongue and hated Curl of the Burl but I ended up being okay with the rest of The Hunter, so I'll probably end up listening to it anyway.
