The Rllmuk Metal Thread Part 2

[Darren]

No love for the new Babymetal album then? Has the novelty worn off?

 

I like it, anyway.

[shirubagan]

I fucking LOVE the new Babymetal album. Went to see them last week. Such a cool stage setup and show.

Meh-lertak

I know right? 

 

Maybe it's just the mix or whatever but what happened to their Punkish Black n' Roll sound?! Felt like a sledgehammer hitting yer face. 

 

 

 

 

[shirubagan]

 

Such a crushing disappointment. Their debut was incredible.

[Nespresso]

This is how I like my Metal.

 

 

 

[Illyria]

When she loves metal...

 

Sorry, this comedy skit is in German, but I think you'll get the gist

The song featured is this one btw

I still love XX and XIII but they completely nosedived after that. 

 

 

Same kind thing with American Head Charge. Cool first album, the rest is pure diarrhoea though.
 

 

[Nathan Wind]

There's a name I'd forgotten.  I used to like that album.

[Nathan Wind]

And at not inconsiderable expense, I now own the complete Sigh discography (studio albums) on CD. What a saddo. 

[Bleeders]

Picked this up on Friday. Definitely one to check out if you like yourself a bit of The Contortionist. Ironically enough, their old singer is one of the tracks as well.

[Illyria]

Thanks for the nightmares!

[Nespresso]

Don't know why I've only just discovered Whitechapel but they're pretty damn great! The vocalist seems spot on live.

 

 

 

[Nespresso]

And out of nowhere a new Everything in Slow Motion EP appears! 

 

 

I can hear a bit of Deftones in places (but less annoying). Good stuff! 

[Nespresso]

 

Yes. Yes. Yes. 

 

EDIT: Didn't even realise I just made a triple post. Forum is a bit dead...

[Bleeders]

So, old members of Danza and Glass Cloud (Josh Travis, Phil Lockett and Josh Miller) have joined Emmure. 

[Nespresso]

Yup. 

 

Idiots. 

[Bleeders]

Does this mean the next Emmure album will actually be a Danza one but with Frankie from Emmure?!

 

in other news, Fallujah's new track is fucking epic.

 

 

[Harrisown]

Tremonti album is out now.

2 songs i'm not too keen on but the rest is stonking!

[Talvalin]

There's a new The Levitation Hex album! Uh, sounds like Alchemist if you ever listened to them. Fuck it, here's a track: 

 

[Bleeders]

I fucking love this thread. I might not be into all the music that's posted here, but gosh darn, I do love how broad the heavy music canvas is.

 

Certainly it's the near-equivalent of a friend coming round, armed with a copy of the Dillinger Escape Plan's 'Under the Running Board' EP and before hearing a single note, thinking it was going to be in the vein of Quicksand or Far - and then aural chaos bled from the speakers at a ridiculous level and I was hooked immediately.

 

[Nespresso]

Hear hear!

 

And on that note something I discovered which usually isn't exactly up my alley: Allfather - Bless the Earth With Fire

A lot of this stuff sounds like if you took a hardcore vocalist from the early 2000s and put him over super sludgey stuff. It’s definitely not for everyone, and if you’re a fan of lighter sludge like The Sword and Baroness, then you will be disappointed. However, if you’re down to get grimey and dirty and really don’t give a damn about how it sounds but about how heavy it is, then this record is definitely for you. It’s definitely been on regular rotation for me since I got it. I do have to say though, that the vocals are definitely an acquired taste, and I urge you to give the album at least one listen before having a verdict, because it’s well worth your time. Be sure to follow them on Facebook and Bandcamp and be sure to grab their album when it drops!

I didn't really get on with this at first but after a few listens found it rather enjoyable. They got dat Kvelertak tone dude. 

[Nathan Wind]

A buddy of mine from Germany just sent me a couple of YT links to some prog-death/doomy type bands.  You kids might already have heard them. The first lot are from Russia so he tells me. They're pretty diggable if you like Opeth and such, and certainly good enough to tempt me into buying an album -

 

 

 

[Talvalin]

Melodic death metal (kind of blackened death metal I guess, due to the riffs and a *lot* of blasting). Occasional Opeth moments. Tis good: https://mistur.bandcamp.com/

[Nespresso]

I'm sorry but this made me laugh. 

 

 

[Illyria]

Joey Jordison's new band VIMIC just presented their first single:

 

Simple Skeletons

 

Not sure how I feel about this yet, will need to give it a few listens.

[Nathan Wind]

Upon my first listen, I rate it a Fucking Shit/10 on the Windometer.

[Talvalin]

TEAM VEKTOR! BLASTING OFF AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT!

 

 

[jonathanhoey]

Vektor are fantastic. Saw them in the Underworld before Christmas and they were superb. Incidentally their drummer plays one of the strangest kit layouts I've ever seen (his high tom is to the left of, and level with, his snare).

[Talvalin]

Like this?

 

 

Travis Orbin has been doing something similar for years and yeah, it's fucking weird.
