i will listen to things that i want on my own time thank you very much!!!!

 

Man the new Oathbreaker album is ridiculous. I can easily see this being in my top 10 aoty.

As far as the Opeth talk that's been going on, I love them up till Ghost Revieries but since they've ditched their heaviness I just find them a bit boring. My favourite part of that band was the contrast between their mellow and heavy sides. Also I rate Blackwater Park as a masterpiece.

 

oooh boy

 

Yes!!!!

I knew Deathspell would do something new any time now. My absolute favorite black metal band.

 

I miss Dead in the Dirt.

 

So does everyone wanna try to get into Deathspell Omega now that they're about to release something new? For fans of Blut Aus Nord and chaos

 

Only if Cwhit listens to trna

 

cwhit prob likes megadeth

 

more of a disturbed fan myself

 

ooh ah ah ah ahhh

 

Loving Oathbreaker and Neurosis.

 

for some reason I listened to Mudvayne's first today

still pretty effing good

haha

 

Was listening to Darkest Hour - Deliver Us and Protest The Hero - Fortress yesterday. Damn I love those albums.

 

I love Darkest Hour. Undoing Ruin is one of my fav albums of all time.

 

Love that album too. "Convalescence" was my jam for so long.

 

Really looking forward to the new Darkest Hour. Being independently recorded and released (I'm assuming, idk who their distributor is) and produced by Kurt Ballou, I'm expecting this to be free of the Sumerian-core shit that the last one had. I mean, I like that album for the most part but it's easily the weakest thing they've ever released.

 

Same, I bought it and blasted it all the time but it was kind of uninspired. Deliver Us had some nice progressive elements, and Eternal Return abandoned all of that for straight up aggression. I'd be ok with a return to that style.

 

New Meshuggah record wastes no time in getting down.

 

Spent some time with the new Opeth and I like it a lot. Fuck it, I'll go ahead and commit heresy and say that I'm starting to like the new direction more than the old one. Maybe it's just that I like the esoteric, occult themes and atmospheres of this direction. I mean, they've always been there, but they somehow feel more tangible to me when coupled with this sort of music.

I'd still say Ghost Reveries is my favorite Opeth record overall tho.

 

i just dont fuck with straight up prog metal that much

 

What classifies as prog metal anyway, since a lot of metal subgenres usually have at least some element of progressive song structure.

BTBAM obviously but who else fits that description?

 

aaaaah it's out!! on it rn!!

 

it was recorded live, btw

which is insane really

 

Idk when I hear the words prog metal I just think of dream theater lol

 

mmm Ayreon? Avantasia? Liquid Tension? Porcupine Tree?

all waaay too cheesy for me tbh

ah! GORDIAN KNOT - they are sick

OSI had an album I liked too
