I can't get enough of it. It's nice to hear old-school deathmetal with some decent modern production for a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their tour bus collided head on with a truck, both drivers were killed. All members of the band are alive but are pretty fucked up. Lots of *bad* injuries including an amputated leg, the only member to return home so far is the lead guitarist who had 8 surgeries. Months in American hospitals having surgery after surgery as well as their prospects for the foreseeable future (physical therapy, no touring) has put them in a pretty bad spot financially. Their record label announced that they won't take any cut of album sales and it will all go to the band. I've seen these guys live, I've met the vocalist. They're honestly some of the nicest guys in the metalcore scene. If you feel like buying some music go for it. If you're rich and just want to give a bunch of money go here. Already done this. Love The Ghost Inside. Such a brilliant live band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rane Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I didn't listened to a lot of metal this year, but here's my favorites: 1) Deafheaven - New Bermuda It's probably the band I listened the most this year, the combo of black metal and post-metal is just perfect for me. 2) Paradise Lost - The Plague Within I really like their older stuff, but the last ten years were bit meh. This one was solid though, really enjoyed it. 3) Korpiklaani - Noita Must have listened to the title song dozens of times, really good. Their concert last month was awesome as always too. 4) Swallow The Sun - Songs of the North I, II & III Who does a triple album? Got this one recently, but I am thinking it's easily their best album. Also saw them live for the first time this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigima Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 In case this news hasn't circulated yet: Quote Phil Anselmo says he was merely joking when he yelled “White Power” at the end of “Dimebash 2016” in Hollywood last week. http://www.pollstar.com/news_article.aspx?ID=822615 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkash Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Yeah, well, Phil Anselmo is still a fucktard. Even Varg Vikernes is smarter than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Critical Hits by Gygax This is as awesome as it looks.

Desolate Funeral Chant is particularly ass-kicking in a live setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't use bass either, I hear, which is interesting. Definitely cool what kind of music they can make with only guitar, drums, and vocals. What is your opinion on the vocals? The first time I listened to Inquisition I couldn't really look past them, I mean I laughed out loud, but now they don't sound as strange to me.

Xray the Enforcer Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Yep. They've been a two-piece for a number of years. I always liked Inquisition's vocals -- Dagon sounds like he's some kind of malevolent undead alien. I find traditional BM shrieked vocals (especially the ultra-tinny and dry production) to be pretty meh, but I know that others find that treatment essential to their enjoyment of BM. Me, I'd rather listen to Dagon, or MkM from Antaeus/Aosoth any day over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all swedes are racist Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 New Cobalt track out. I'm digging it. http://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2016/02/09/465424122/vikings-choice-cobalt-beast-whip was worried about Fells vocals, but now I'm optimistic.

Xray the Enforcer Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I'll need to give that a listen on my headphones before I can make the call. One of the great things about Gin was the drum sound (and overall production), and I can't tell on these speakers if they managed to capture that again. But color me cautiously optimistic. Not sure I can see them live again, though. The last time was so incredibly fucked up and uncomfortable (it felt like disaster tourism), I think that's how I want to remember it forever.

Arkash Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 The members of the Iranian metal band Confess have been in isolation for a few months and may face the death penalty for blasphemy in their country... fuck Iran, fuck religion (again and again and again, and that will never be said enough). http://www.metalsucks.net/2016/02/10/members-of-iranian-band-jailed-could-be-executed-for-playing-metal/ Nothing we can really do but spread the word, I think...

MercenaryChef Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 On the ride home I listened to 'and justice for all' for the first time in a few years. It had held up to the age. Totally sounds like a bunch of talented drunk kids making metal. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
