Thefalconemperor Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Scandinavian metal fan here...Discovered just today about the new Scar Symmetry album, we already had Children of Bodom, and In Flames and Opeth are still to come. I don't know what to expect from the new IF album, I liked their new stuff unlike a lot of people I know, but a Sense of Purpose taught me fear.

Can't say I've really listened to them since Clayman though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xray the Enforcer Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I, too, am waiting for the whole Primordial album to come out. Which it does. In a couple of days. AAAAAHHHHHH!!! :commie:I've still been churning through bands, but have had no time to post about them here. Something about a new TV show...and the absurd levels of fanwank that have resulted from it. For the record, I've been listening to and enjoying:Blood Ceremony (metal like Jethro Tull)Christian Mistress (Diamond Head meets the ghost of Mia Zapata)Ilsa (Death/Doom/Crust)Frostmoon Eclipse (Black Metal)Gorath (Progressive Black Metal)Rudra (Vedic metal, but more emphasis on metal this time around, more like their debut album)Todtgelichter (Avant-garde Black Metal)Mitochondrion (Blackened Death Metal)I was underwhelmed by the new Moonsorrow, but I'm going to return to it in half a year to see if my feelings have changed. Mitochondrion's new release is tamer than their debut, possibly because it isn't self-released (they are signed to Profound Lore). It's actually pretty good, but I miss the chaos of the debut, even if it was nigh-impossible to hear some of it due to the low production values. ;)For shows, the next big one is MDF at the end of May. A couple of lineup changes (Ghost instead of Goatsnake, Nunslaughter instead of Destroyer 666, and another that I can't remember), but otherwise still looking forward to the mayhem. Actually, I'm pretty stoked to see Nunslaughter. I'll be very surprised if Marduk actually show up, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercenaryChef Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 i am quite sad to report that founding guitarist and 42 year member of judas priest has retired from the band. he will be missed. i for one have a lot of love for judas priest. they are just one of those epic bands that helped inspire and shape heavy metal.

Space Bandito Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I try not to listen to anything from an album until I can get the whole thing. If I do, one of two things will happen: 1) I'll not really like the song, and lose interest in the album, or 2) I'll like it so much that even when I get the album, my enjoyment of it will be centered around the song I've already created an attachment to, and therefore the rest of the album won't get its due.That being said, I absolutely can't wait for the new Primordial.Good point. It is kind of like reading preview chapters. I have refused to hear anything but the release date for Dance with Dragons. It can ruin your personal experience when the entire thing is released.

Durckad Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I know there are some Nevermore fans here. Looks like Jeff Loomis and Van Williams are leaving Nevermore. That's too bad. I wasn't their biggest fan, but enjoyed some of their songs and Loomis is an incredible guitarist.Source.Man, what a week. First KK leaves Priest, now this? Sucktastic.

Muttering Bill Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 It was officially announced Friday that Roy Kahn has resigned from Kamelot.I just got into the band not that long ago, and even if their latest album was weak, it's still sad news. Roy is a fantastic singer, and a significant part of what made the band so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsavong Lah Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 So at this moment I have just fired up the new Primordial. Only a minute into the first song, and it is still just the intro, but I'm feeling tingles. Will report back later about it.I also got a hold of the new Krallice, for those that care. That will be up next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L’Age d’or Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 You guys checked out Long Distance Calling's new album yet? If not you are missing huge. Sweet new riffs with an Opeth and Katatonia touch every here and there. The best instrumental Metal album I have listened to for a while now.

Nick Of Troy Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I love metal, particularly power metal. Speaking of which, my first exposure to ASoIaF was through the Blind Guardian songs "A Voice in the Dark" and "War of the Thrones" in their latest album At The Edge Of Time. Great stuff!

Xray the Enforcer Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I've been listening to the new Primordial...and it's just not grabbing me like the last one. :(I think it might be the production -- the music doesn't sound as dynamic and Nemtheanga's voice is not as expressive or immediate as in past efforts. I do love when he sings ultra-clean vocals on a few tracks, though. All of that said, I'm not giving up on this album yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Wizard Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Yet more atrocities...Has anyone listened to the new Symphony X songs? They sound a lot like the last album 'Paradise Lost and are available to stream on the bands Facetube page. The latest, 'Dehumanize' has some prett bad lyrics by the way.
