Revived. Again.

Finntroll are awesome.

Worst. Revive. Ever.

On an actually related note, The Absence have finally anounced a date for their new album. 14th September, incidentally the same day as the release of Halo Reach. that's a fucking awesome day right there. They've got a new song up on their Myspace, go take a listen people.

How it a bad revive? I made it, so it is good by default.

And when should we expect Necrophagist's album? Derp.

I just checked their official site and their myspace. The latest news is from April last year. They're like the Valve of the music world.

I got back from Sonisphere UK today.

I saw in this order:

Blaas of Glory (they're amazing, seriously, youtube them now)
Delain (like nightwish but better)
Turisas (insane mosh pits)
Alice Cooper

Family Force 5 (hilarious and really good live)
Sabaton
Soulfly (insane mosh pit)
Anthrax
Fear Factory (more insane mosh pits)
Good Charlotte (played their good stuff)
Apocalyptica (shredding a cello... amazing)
Papa Roach (played most of their good stuff)
Bleed From Within (tiny unknown band with insane mosh pit)
Motley Crue
Rammestein (absolutely huge mosh pit and the lead singer crowd surfed in a boat)

CKY (96 quite bitter beings, nuff said)
Skindred (if you don't know who these are go find out now... I'll wait... amazing live band)
Slayer
Pendulum (better that I expected)
Iron Maiden (didnt play run to the hills ): but did play number of the beast )

Anyone else at Sonisphere? Or any similarly amazing festivals recently?

 

[Rusty Bucket]

Snip.

You saw Apocalyptica? Damn it, I'm jealous. How do they sound live?

They were just insane, they sounded freaking awesome, I was very impressed cause listening to them on youtube I didn't have high hopes about seeing them live.

I was pleasantly surprised.

Hey, a metal thread! This should get stickied, but I guess normal threads can't get stickied. Anyway, OT:
At the moment, I've gotten over the years of listening Nu and Alternative Metal, I mean I still like them, but I'm getting into other kinds of metal right now. Right now my favorite bands are:
Rammstein
Slayer
Iron Maiden
Metallica
D.R.I
Municipal Waste
Anthrax
Some Macedonian bands, namely Dojka (they're from my home town!), Mizar, The Nexus, Defekt, Titanium.

In my quest for new kinds of metal to listen to, I've found that I don't like Death (even though I like the music, I just can't get over the vocalists) or Black. But I've also found out that I really like Thrash metal, can someone suggest to me some other thrash metal bands, preferably in the style of Slayer.

Kreator maybe? Don't listen to much slayer though, so they may be different. The song Betrayer in particular.

Anyway, I just discovered the band Fight, and it's absolutely fucking amazing. Rob Halford on vocals and Satchel (from Steelpanther) on guitars. Oh Yeah.

Actually, his solo career is pretty good too, so is Joey Belladonna's. Well, his first one, I heard the second one sucked.

Industrial Metal is where it's at, people. Strapping Young Lad, Meshuggah, Fear Factory, Ministry... Awesome stuff.

Bleed From Within (tiny unknown band with insane mosh pit)

Fucking love Bleed From Within, I got all of their albums. They rule!

Didn't BMTH also play Sonisphere?

Fucking love Bleed From Within, I got all of their albums on mp3 player. They rule!

Yeah but I didn't go see them.

That's only bands I saw.

And I really hate BMTH... I can't stand their music.

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

I really hate BMTH... I can't stand their music.

Yeah, that seems to be the consensus among metal fans. I really love 'em though, I'm really big into Metalcore and Deathcore.

 

[CheesyPoof]

I saw The Dillinger Escape Plan a few weeks ago when Warped Tour came near me. They were soooooooo good live. Their guitarist even put on a lion costume.

I'm okay with most music.

It's just their screaming is awful.

I like screaming that fits in with the music to at least some degree...

Perfect example of stuff I go crazy over -

Really don't see what you're getting at... but meh, opinions are opinions I guess.

I tried listening to some BMTH... I don't remember what song but the screaming just seemed disjointed like it was recorded without the background music in mind.

I know obviously it wasn't but it sounded that way to me...

 

[Lambi]

I listen mainly to Death Metal, and there I listen mainly to Melodic Death Metal. Though I do listen to a bit of Heavy, Speed, Power, Black and some other kinds of Metal.

 

[the Dept of Science]

Does anyone here like Boris? They have a really different sound and tonnes of variety (some of their songs are closer to post-rock than heavy metal, some of it is more doom/stoner metal), which I think can be quite rare in metal these days. Also, I'm not normally a fan of metal lyrics so the fact that they sing in Japanese sorts that issue right out.
