Ah, you mentioned Aliens, reminded me of that movie being thirty years old. It's a classic, though. The first movie is my favorite of the series since I prefer its tone better, but you can't go wrong with either. While not on the same level, I thought Alien 3 was pretty good, too.

Yeah I probably like Alien just as much, but I feel like watching Aliens a bit more often since it's easier to get into a cool action flick vs a slower-paced horror one. And yes, Alien 3 is underrated, particularly the director's cut which is very good.

Fury Road is indeed amazing

I totally get that a lot of times it's hard for a movie to live up to the hype (and I have seen people be like "ehh it's not that good") but if you like what you see in the trailers and enjoy action movies, I really can't see any way you won't have a fantastic time watching.

And yea Speed Racer is pretty fantastic. I can't really see how people thought it was terrible/mediocre at release but whatever

Spoiler

"waah there's too many colors and glorious F-Zero racing sequences"

 

[choodi]

All the love for Fury Road has got me thinking, has there ever been a more "metal" movie than Mad Max Fury Road?

Spoiler

Aside from This is Spinal Tap as that is THE most metal movie of all time, obviously.

Duh, Deathgasm.

 

[teruterubozu]

Fuck yeah. Satan + Metal. Loved it. On Netflix - highly recommended for the metal at heart.

 

[choodi]

Yeah, but heavy metal is part ofthe premise. I'm thinking more the theme, attitude and feel rather than being overtly based on heavy metal music.

The new Revocation album is fucking sick.

Agreed. One of the best metal albums of the year.

Good one

 

[friday]

Ok, now this band is good. First time listening to them and I'm really impressed. Top tier stuff.

Yes! I am not sure if a lot of metal people are sleeping on HoM, but there are one of the best heavy metal bands right now. Love their sound.

 

[bebop242]

So I picked up Gojira's new album awhile ago, and as a newcomer to the band, I really like it. Just started to listen to older stuff and its going to be fun going thru it all (From Mars to Sirius is sticking out so far).

Anyway, the main point of this post is to share this stupid good concert video from a performance last month.

Anyone heading to the carcass show in santa ana tonight? See yah there!

 

[nailbombxx]

Yeah, very good band. If I recall correctly a few of their earliest albums had the Slough Feg vocalist.

 

[strafer]

This Ozzy show is amazing. Randy Castillo was a monster behind the kit.

[Tankard]

Yeah, very good band. If I recall correctly a few of their earliest albums had the Slough Feg vocalist.

Yes, Mike Scalzi, and the band was formed by Slough Feg former guitar player, John Cobbet.

 

[MezzoForte]

just watched Pulp Fiction again since a lot of Tarantino stuff is now free to stream via Amazon Prime. I borrowed it a long ass time ago and remember loving it, but I guess I must have forgotten how great it is. Incredible movie.

FWIW, Tarantino is my all time favorite director. Pulp Fiction is his best, for sure.

Opeth studio report #1

 

[RangerX]

I've just discovered Deeds of Flesh. Man this band are absolutely killer. I love the vocal patterns that are used.

 

[fallout]

Shit. I didn't even realize there was a new Hammers of Misfortune. Thanks!

 

[Tankard]

Opeth studio report #1

They are succeeding in hyping me up hard for the new album, i hope it delivers.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

Hammers of Misfortune... how in the world is this band not more popular. There are underrated bands, bands that don't get the attention they deserve, and then there's Hammers of Misfortune. Wtf. Anyone would love this band. From classic rock people to even the snobbiest metalhead. The songs, riffs, everything is killer.

They are as if Deep Purple decided to do Heavy Metal, really underrated band.

 

[fallout]

I found them a few years ago after going on a big Slough Feg kick. I always assumed they weren't really well-regarded.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

It's like early Genesis, Sabbath and Deep Purple making modern yet still classic Prog. It's disgusting. Their cover of Days of '49 is fucking triumphant.

Well you just sold me on checking them out.

Sounds like a good mix. I'll definitely be on the look out for their music.

Opeth studio report #1

Hooray!

Event Horizon

Great list overall, but this movie....really underrated and terrifying as hell. Good pick.

If I were discussing favorite horror movies, I used to not like Psycho all that much, but I watched Hitchcock's seminal film and it's one of the best ever. Probably my favorite.

 

[e_i]

2016 being an asshole again:

Nails going on hiatis?

 

[RDreamer]

Went out and picked up the new Black Crown Initiate after digging the songs that were actually working on Spotify, and I fucking love this album. It's hitting a great spot for me and my tastes.

Ghandi : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdjFKuxkb5s

High Tension: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4LljTNeQc0

And i do thing X-Wild is very underrated, although it's basically Running Wild with former members.

hell yeah nice picks as well, was going to add High Tension - Masters of Madness to mine but I wanted to keep it short for others to recommend some more.

Love the sound of German traditional and speed, fantastic place for metal

Yeah, specially for Speed/Thrash in my opinion, there are so many fantastic German underrated bands like Pyracanda, Backwater, Accuser.

Oh yeah, nice Pyracanda mention, really overlooked gem. I can spend a lot longer on the German thrash scene, really big passion of mine. To me the best release from that era is Vendetta - Go and Live... Stay and Die

My favourite band these days, i hope when Neige meant going back to their roots he meant more like Les Voyages and Ecailles.

 

[Ravager61]

My favourite band these days, i hope when Neige meant going back to their roots he meant more like Les Voyages and Ecailles.

Souvenirs is still the best Alcest album imo. Didn't care as much for Ecailes at the time. Les Voyages is pretty good. Barely listened to the newest one.
