idk what a hipster is but they have virtually no fans because no one knows about them. what don't you like about the band?

I'm pretty sure I recommend a band called Voyager to you already, but I can't remember if it was actually you or someone else. Try out Anaal Nathrakh, Pig Destroyer, maudlin of the Well, Kayo Dot and Mouth of the Architect. maudlin of the Well literally changed my opinion of what I call 'good music' now - start with their album "Bath" and then move on to "Leaving Your Body Map" and then just go wherever the **** you want to from there.

yeah that was you on voyager, they're fantastic. i hate pig destroyer and i'm not a huge fan of anaal nathrakh, but i'll check out the others.

but yeah, to add onto that, i love melodeath, prog, doom, and folk. i'm also getting into gothic metal more just as an outreach from doom metal i guess. i've kinda fallen away from more extreme music and gotten into more complex and melodic stuff lately. i used to love thrash but i barely listen to it anymore. and if anyone has any good power metal i'll check it out, i used to be a huge power*** but i've gotten 1 power metal album in like 12 months.

Yeah, I didn't mind the vocals all that much. Songs were pretty powerful and had some sort of catch to each of them. Helped me to reach a few of my maxes while working out. The new one, not so much.

no fans? lol go to any music review site and i guarantee you you'd come across them in clusters, Part the Second was self financed by Toby but a lot of the money came from fans who'd donated.

I don't 'not' like them, their older releases were good but i just don't understand how they get so much blind praise. The band is incredibly trendy in the underground 'alternative' music scene.

Well, what I meant about 'no fans' is in comparison to a lot of the modern **** and more known bands. you can't deny that they're relatively unknown outside of the music review sites. I wouldn't call any of their praise "blind" either, their music is incredibly well constructed and the lyrics are extremely well written. Trendy is arguable, but I really don't give a **** considering every band can be labeled as 'trendy'. but meh i'll continue to wank off to them and enjoy myself ever so much whilst doing so.

I'm not passing judgment on the the music itself, i don't even like the band, but if you'd been witness to the general reaction when Part the Second came out a few months back you'd understand what i meant by 'blind praise'.

But hey, i'm a massive Converge fan so when it comes to 'trendy' i'm in no position to speak.

They released a new album recently, the **** is mad hot.

\m/

good stuff. The lyrics are really poetic too. Reads like an ancient epic, feels like I'm listening to Virgil lol.

and the album art depicting Benvenuto Cellini’s Perseus is badass as well. One of my favorite statues, I've seen it in person and loved it.

Hm, I'll have to check that part out again I don't remember. How was the new release from Maudlin? wasn't it a online download only or something? forgot why.

It was really good, but then again I'm a raging fanboy so of course I loved it. And yeah, it was a free download off of their website (not sure if it's still up) where you could choose to donate or something like that. It's definitely their most chill album, but still has that classic motW vibe to it. very cool stuff.

im on their website right now, im reading the story on this haha. I had forgotten about Kayo Dot. So the band is still broken up right? but he just wanted to re-think and play some unrealsed **** n' turned it into an album?

Love this song

**djwolford** · 07-14-2009, 07:03 AM

In on epic thread. It seems to me like the longer I listen to metal, the more brutal I like it. Lately I've been on a diet of

Kataklysm
Cannibal Corpse
Metallica
Gojira
Behemoth
Opeth
Queen
Meshuggah
BLS
Matriden
etc.

I'm liking some of the stuff that you guys have posted up, will be adding to music library thx.

yeah, all their albums are great.

Gonna have to say that Arcane Rain Fell is my favorite though.

**Blindead** · 07-14-2009, 12:57 PM

draconian are so god damn good. through the closed eyes of paradise is a killer ****ing demo and the remastered songs they did own souls.

**Metal_Lust** · 07-14-2009, 10:06 PM

New album in the works- HYPOCRISY, the Swedish extreme metal band led by guitarist/vocalist Peter T?gtgren (also of PAIN), has set "A Taste Of Extreme Divinity" as the title of its new album, due on October 23 in Europe via Nuclear Blast Records. Peter states

**irockmysocks** · 07-15-2009, 06:19 AM
