"Open the gates of manifestation that grant me the power of darkness!!!!!!"

[stinkbutt]

i am fairly confident any great metal act you can name has been around for at least ten years, and who's best work is behind them..

Neurosis and Mastodon are still holding it down

if yall want good examples of amazing recent Metal try reading the thread checking out some bands and then say something

there is still a lot of great metal being made yall just aren't looking or haven't given it a chance

[rage patton]

I am seriously hooked on Metalocalypse.

[stinkbutt]

So a friend gave me this after his ex left it at his house and I have to say it's pretty fucking awesome. Rob needs to stop doing movies and crappy solo work and just get back to this band if only for a tour.

[obzen]

"...piercing the night,this is black sunshine!"

[obzen]

And just so y'all know,Meshuggah has metal on it's knees.

They killed it at The Gods of Metal festival and have been known for upstaging the other acts they tour with-too bad their next LP doesn't see the light of day until 2011...

[stinkbutt]

So there is a rumor floating around of a Metallica/Megadeth/Anthrax/Slayer tour

hopefully it's true

Kerry King said this

"I’ve heard people referencing Lars,” says King. “I don’t know Lars that well and I haven’t heard it from Lars but apparently he’s talking to somebody about it. Maybe us, Metallica, Megadeth (and), I think he even threw in Anthrax and I said in this day and age, I know we had that time together but how do you leave out Machine Head? There’s better options than Anthrax and that’s nothing against Anthrax, but they’ve just been in pieces for quite some time and that doesn’t make as much sense to me."

[rage patton]

I heard about that the other day. Paul was telling me about it. I really can't see Megadeth working with Metallica though. Even if it was just Metallica/Slayer/Anthrax... that would be amazing.

[stinkbutt]

I think it could happen, might not last long but could probably last a few dates

Dave is a jackass but seems to be over it nowadays

[Young blood]

Dog fashion disco and The alter boys. I dig it.

Austrian death machine makes me giggle. Its fun.

Wow-
I'm all for a tour featuring The Four Titans of Thrash.

[stinkbutt]

I wish they would have used samples instead of just screaming the quotes but I'm sure that would have gotten expensive

[stinkbutt]

leaked

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

YEAH listened to this about a week ago at my brother's house. it's amazing. Saw them them open for Clutch about 2 months ago and they ROCKED...looks like they'll be headlining the Troubadour in December as well

[stinkbutt]

Pelican tonight! Wahooo!

[mountmccabe]

I think I am going to see Marduk and Nachtmystium at the Clubhouse in December.

[Down Rodeo]

Is anyone else a little disappointed in the new Pelican album? I've listened to it twice through now, and nothing really stood out and grabbed me. Maybe it needs more time.

[Abe Lincoln]

I can't stop listening to Anvil's "This Is Thirteen".Of course I would not have known about it without the movie,but like to think I would have appreciated it's sheer greatness upon first listen.It reminds me a lot of Danzig's best.

[stinkbutt]

Someone just gave me the YOB discography and holy shit these guys are amazing

[kroqken]

Cattle Decapitation are a vegan "extreme metal" band. What a weird combination.

[seandigi]

Cattle Decapitation are a vegan "extreme metal" band. What a weird combination.

Cattle Decap is pretty fucking awesome. Check out Humanure, Grind-Metal at its finest.

[stinkbutt]

So I was listening to "A Sun That Never Sets" and Neurosis is pretty much the greatest thing since sliced bread

[stinkbutt]

Have you ever listened to metal? There is a lot of good stuff out there besides Slayer

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Cattle Decapitation are a vegan "extreme metal" band. What a weird combination.

it's actually not a weird combo at all, there are a lot of vegan and animal rights activist "extreme metal" bands, especially in the grindcore scene

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Metal is a sorry excuse for music. Except for Slayer. They're badass.

Slayer is a very strange exception to have

Kerry King said this

Add Maiden and it's like a dream come true for me.

[ficklecycle]

Is anyone going to check out DRI at The Key Club? I think it's next month.

[stinkbutt]

So I was really hoping to do Roadburn this year especially after I saw what the lineup was so far:

Enslaved, Trinacria, Dream of An Opium Eater, Goatsnake, YOB doing 2 sets, Mouth Of The Architect, Triptykon, Thorr’s Hammer, Comus, Master Musicians of Bukkake, Karma To Burn, Shrinebuilder, Moss, Altar of Plagues, Brant Bjork & The Bros, Yakuza, Nachtmystium,

Candlemass will perform their classic album, “Epicus Doomicus Metallicus” in its entirety with Johan Längquist on vocals. There will be a special part of the set that incorporates new singer Robert Lowe as well

Enslaved/Shining (NO), playing their Armageddon concerto

Tom Gabriel Warrior, founder of the illustrious Hellhammer and Celtic Frost, has agreed to act as the curator for our festival on Friday, and host a special event at Roadburn, called Only Death Is Real.

then I saw the dates are the same as Coachella
sad day

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

finally got Baroness' Blue Record today and it's phenomenal. I am STOKED about seeing them in December!
