yeah... new meshuggah is exactly what I wanted. love it way more than obzen and koloss. I can't even tell what song is my favorite yet.
I bought tickets instantly for the chicago show coming up... so it looks like I'll be seeing them a 5th time
Better than both? Oh man, I'm ready for this.
The two new songs were absolutely killer. Meshuggah is the Tim Duncan of Metal for me.

Damn, can't believe I hadn't been introduced to these guys before.
Stratovarius - Hunting High And Low
As intro riffs go that's one of the best I've ever heard.
Edit: DBZ fans arguing in the comments for some reason, I guess it was used in a video or something. As usual, don't read youtube comments.

This song is rad as fuck goddamn!
Are you serious? Stratovarius is tremendously influential in power metal. Even if they don't listen to them everyone has heard of Stratovarius.
Yeah, I'm really excited about this. Heart of Oak was probably my favourite album of 2013.
Heart of Oak was a crazy surprise.

both of the new full-lengths released via New Standard Elite are outstanding. Covers omitted, later being NSFW.
Ecchymosis (THA) - Aberrant Amusement in Cadaveric Vomitplay
Dissevered (LAO) - Agonized Wails of Disseverment
there's something about Asian people and brutal death metal. Especially Indonesia. I love both of these, but Ecchymosis in particular is flat out incredible. I got my CDs the other day from Comatose, but you can get them from NSE directly once again. Other than the Ossification EP and promos, my NSE collection is complete. Support this wonderful label.

Can't wait for the new Meshuggah album tomorrow.
I have it ready to go on Spotify for the car ride home from work this morning. Also can't wait.

I've been trying for years to get into meshuggah, but I just can't. To me all their songs sound way too similar.
Same, just can't get into them at all.

Eternal Champion - The Armor of Ire
This dropped a couple of weeks ago and by Crom is it really good. Classic epic heavy metal similar to Manilla Road.

They do all sound similar, but I like that one song they play.
That's why I like Catch ThirtyThree - it encompasses their whole essence with that "one long song" aspect.
I honestly dislike the album art. I never liked the oiled + tacky woman look.
I listened to a song as well and was meh overall on it.
In upcoming stuff the Iron Mask (the band every power metal fan has listened to on youtube but never bought anything from) album is looking pretty slick: Iron Mask - Oliver Twist.
You mean there's a Summoning tribute/cover album coming December????

it's all about tomas haake - he is too insane. the technical display in new nostrum video is worth the full watch through

You never heard Black Diamond or Kiss of Judas?
Dark Tranquillity released another new song today.

So good.

Is it just the melodies or have Mikael's cleans changed?
Nice song. I think this album will be good.
It does sound a bit different from time to time to me, take What you only know from Construct as example.

I love all Meshuggah, but I remember when obZen came out they got way too hyped and became sort of overrated. They're really really good, but they're not Neurosis good.
Thordendal got a fucking fantastic solo album though.

I know you guys probably don't really like talking about Metalcore etc; (nowhere to talk about it) but holy shit, The Devil Wears Prada's new album came out, and blew my expectations.
Its amazing how much they've evolved.

I don't mind Metalcore. I can just sometimes be picky about which ones I listen to.
I really enjoy the new Every Time I Die album ("Low Teens").
Saw them at a festival this summer and didn't care for them. Made a playlist with them in it for that festival and liked a couple of the songs that came up. Tried to listen to a couple albums and couldn't get into it.
I'll give the new one a shot though.

Fair enough. A lot of it is really bad so I can understand why.
Low Teens is fantastic, and I don't think ETID can even release a bad album.
I'm curious what albums you listened to.
But I would give Transit Blues a shot, its much better than anything they've released before

Seems like they're going for the classic pulpy swords and sorcery aesthetic, but instead of Robert E Howard its Michael Moorcock.
Main one 8:18, which was the newest one at the time. Also tried Dead Throne but switched it rather quickly.

Whew that is a great lineup. A good mix of dungeon synth and atmospheric BM artists.
Sol Niger Within is the ultimate Meshuggah album. Haake's vocals are 10x better than the guy in Meshuggah.

i've been looking for stuff similar to widek, beyond infinity, etc. any suggestions? my youtube searches don't seem to be very fruitful
Thanks for this, but that didn't move the needle for me. The sound mix is awful and the vocals (I'm thinking this is my main issue with this band) are borderline cringe. There are parts that sound like he is singing on top of the music and I hate that.
But again, thanks for the link.

Gave the new Meshuggah a try at work today and it's just not for me I guess. Can't really tell the songs apart.
Maybe some day, but probably not. Glad fans are happy though.

Funny, I just ripped by old Slayer cds so I could listen to them in the car. I don't think RiB will last my whole commute but I'll supplement with some Hell Awaits.
SitA is 26 on Sunday.
All this makes me feel so fucking old. I had the cassettes. RiB had come out maybe a couple years before I bought it, but I bought SitA when it came out.

Anyone else getting a real The Gallery/The Mind's I vibe from these first two songs?
If you mean more like the first single towards The Gallery and this new towards The Mind's, the yeah, i agree, which pleases me a lot.

Discussion.
For you, what are some Metal songs that make you kind of fall back stunned due to their craziness/heaviness/intensity? I need something that will floor me!
