The Official Metal Thread

Just a teaser of the new Mastodon song "Black Tongue" from their new album.

[Down Rodeo]

Sounds really good. Damn, I can't wait for that album...

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Yep, sounds great!

[stinkbutt]

70k tons of metal is looking pretty decent thus far, I'm seriously considering this.

Eluveitie
Grave Digger
My Dying Bride
Pestilence
Stratovarius
Therion
Tristania
Amorphis
Moonsorrow
In Extremo
Coroner
Samael
Nightwish
Dark Funeral
Hammerfall

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

it sounds like an awesome time. That's a great lineup so far!

[nathanfairchild]

How many more bands are gonna be added?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Last year there were at least twice that many, added up until fairly close to the event. They all play at least two full sets throughout the weekend too, so you can basically see every band.

[stinkbutt]

It says those are 15 out of 40 total. Adding to what Drinkey said, I guess the artists just walk around like at ATP

[redsurf]

TPOTR is really good this year, even though they're charging. Already have my ticket, so many good bands.

[stinkbutt]

That lineup is fucking amazing

[redsurf]

Electric Wizard added to MDF, holy shit!

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

I don't think they're very popular around here, but I'm really enjoying the recent Between The Buried And Me EP, The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues

I've been trying to see eyehategod for so fucking long.

I actually really enjoy Colors, haven't listened to much else though. I will have to check it out when I get home

Really, if you like Colors, you ought to really like their last few albums. Alaska is a masterpiece.

[stinkbutt]

When I did listen to Alaska, I didn't care for it, maybe I should go back to it.

I don't think any of their other albums are better than The Silent Circus.

Well this is one fuckin' awesome reason to ditch OSL... I accidentally requested this day off to see High On Fire in Oakland, got my days mixed up. All these goodies in just 1 day? I'm coming for you LA! Also, Black Breath opened for Converge when they were in town last year, the first time i ever saw an opener out perform a headliner.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

I randomly downloaded Atrophy by Baring Teeth and this shit is bruuuutal

[stinkbutt]

Additions to MDF X, makes me not feel bad about missing Roadburn. It was between this, Hellfest or 70k Tons, I've made my choice.

Godflesh (exclusive US show)
Electric Wizard
Winter
Tsjunder
Autopsy
Napalm Death (would be neat if J Broadwick showed up for this)
Eyehategod
Noothgrush
Rwake
Deviated Instinct
Cough
Coke Bust
Infernal Stronghold
Backslider
Castevet
Disma
Sargeist
Horna
Nasghul

First full song available from The Hunter. "Black Tongue"

[Down Rodeo]

Yes!! Great song.

[hawkingvsreeve]

Saw Torche last night. Lots of fun.

[sbconnection]

Did anyone end up going to POTR in LA last night? Feed back?! I'm going both nights up here in SF, anyone want to meet up?

[nathanfairchild]

mastodon's latest song "Curl of the Burl". not as heavy as their previous song and kinda radio friendly. i'm hoping the final album is heavier than this.

I was just searching StubHub and saw Down is doing a show in Anaheim 9/10.

The 2nd concert I ever went to was Pantera at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC in 1999. Not knowing any better I made the mistake of getting up against the rail and really got battered in that pit. I saw Pantera a 2nd time in New Haven, CT in what I think was 2001.

I've never seen Down. I always liked them way more than any of the other Pantera side projects. Even though I don't listen to much metal anymore I think I'm going to hit this up.

Go for it. Down has been good the 2 times I have caught them. Phil was on point both times. I'm more of a fan of his other band, Superjoint Ritual.

[daxton]

I say go too! I always enjoy seeing them.

[Still-ill]

If you guys were into Iceage, you should check out their black metal comrades: Sexdrome.

[stinkbutt]

Shit you all should check out











One you're most likely to like








My personal new found favorite band. Just look at that fucking album cover.
