What's new in the Black/Death Metal world?

[HevyDevy]

Yep, Amon Amarth kick arse. Make sure you get the track Beheading of a King off the album Fate of Norns. Quality riff.

Also, download an Amorphis song called 'Black Winter Day'. They're not dissimilar to Amon Amarth.

 

[Briza]

Yeah I have that song, Good Old Eric

Have heard good things of Amophis.

 

[Phillips]

i'd hate to bump into you people in a dark alley

 

[Trollhammaren]

Behemoth go allright also... They started out Black and then turned to Death. Saw them a few weeks back and they were great live. I'd recommend 'Satanica', one of their death-er albums....


Also check out Brisbane band Portal. The craziest awesome sh*t you'll hear!

 

[ThrashViking]

Not really a Black Metal fan.
Vocals sound like they were recorded with a cellphone & the stereo typical corpse paint wearing 'kvlter than thou' types are assholes (& my immortal signature is damn funny!).
Death Metal cds ive been listening to over the past 12 months i'd recomend:
Hate Eternal - I, Monarch
Nile - Annihilation Of The Wicked (an absolute masterpiece in every way )
Disgorge - Parallels of Infinite Torture
Graymalkin – A Masters Discipline (Excellent Kiwi Grind)
Darkthrone - sardonic wrath (Only Black Metal band on the list but it's a nasty mofo thats grown on me)
The latest Cryptopsy was terrible. Lord Worm was very dissapointing on the albulm.

 

[Briza]

lol thanks Viking, I've been waiting for your imput.

 

[HevyDevy]

Immortal are, though, among the greatest bands ever to grace this planet both during their black metal days and their subsequent thrash/death stage.

I don't consider Annihilation to be anywhere near Shrines but it's good nonetheless. I interviewed Dallas Tolar-Wade a few months ago by the way. Nice guy.

Haven't heard the new Cryptopsy but None So Vile was a masterpiece.

Darkthrone - I was listening to Under A Funeral Moon not 15 minutes ago!!

Are you the same HevyDevy who use to post on the old SonicDeath forums?

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

I don't get it, i just don't get it.

*nods*

 

[Kakihara]

I'm amazed at the amount of guys in this rugby league forum who listen to extreme metal.

All the guys i knew in school that listened to this type of music were mostly nerdy and hated sports.

I guess it was just my sh*tty school i went to

I am indeed!!!

Whatever happened to Sonicdeath? Those were the days.

Died a while ago, Luke just couldnt be bothered updating it.
It was easily the most impressive metal forums ive been to, Patrick introduced me to a whole different world of mainly Thrash/Death/Black/Grind metal.
Patrick Stott/Vim Fuego reviews are on Blastwave.org.uk & so did the Technogoat

 

[HevyDevy]

Were you ThrashViking there too?

It was a great forum. Good old Cynical and Othuum.

Vim Fuego!!! I remember him from ye olde Terrorizer forum days.

A most entertaining fellow.

Early days yet but after a couple of listens I've gotta disagree with you so far. Worm is a love him or hate him type of vocalist but if you liked "None sso Vile" he ain't too different, and the sheer chaos of his delivery fits the music on "Once was Not". And his lyrics are brilliant.

P.S. "In the Kindom where Everything Dies, The Sky is Mortal" wins song title of the year from me so far.

 

[HevyDevy]

By the way, isn't that roar at the start of None So Vile the most evil thing you've ever heard!!!

Yeah it's pretty cool, love the "I do that rather well, don't you think?" bit too. And the "Army of Darkness" sample at the end rules too.
Although I can think of a few other things that outdo it in the "evil" stakes; the intro to Darkthrone's "A Blaze in the Northern Sky" for one.

Nah, Dic_Whorecore.
Cynical was a complete toss & was owned by Othuum many times, he came across as some spotty bastard with way too much time on his hands
SpaceMonkey - Nah, sorry. Cant agree with you at all.
'None So Vile' was a death metal epic but 'Once was not' well, it's not my cup of tea.
There was one song that sounded like a really, really bad Deftones cover.

I've only got 'Under a Funeral Moon'. Prefer Immortal of the Norwegain BM scene. One of the great bands.

Have to say, although Opeth are anything but an evil sounding band and Ghost Reveries is a little disappointing, there is one moment I LOVE in The Grand Conjuration when Akerfeldt growls:

'The Eeeeeeeeeyyyeeeeeeeeeeees ..... of the Deeeeeeviiiiiil'

Brilliant

If you like Heavy listen to "Blunt force trauma" by Dying Fetus.

A CC clone but better IMO, Intro is sick.
