Everyone, fucking listen to Saxon.

YOU MEAN PEOPLE DONT LISTEN TO SAXON AS IT IS ALREADY?!
I'm looking up thrash bands on myspace... theres some good talent still flying out of the bay area. I wish i lived there

 

[BackCountrySnow]

iz parkway drives the metalz???

 

[Born2baplacebo]

I hate people who think Evanescence is metal. It's like Christian Gothic Rock.

 

[Born2baplacebo]

I can stand a very small time listening to Amy Lee's voice. I rather listen to Nightwish with either Anette or Tarja. I prefer Tarja <3

 

[BeyondDeath]

Abit late but the new Opeth has leaked.

 

[duckofdoom]

Opeth. end of story.

 

[Atticus.]

everyone should do themselves a service and listen to mastodon. weird, epic progressive metal

 

[Atticus.]

recently ive found myself getting into old slayer. wow.

 

[Born2baplacebo]

Nah. Too satonic for me.

 

[neafoo]

I was never much of a slayer fan to be honest. BUT 'behind the crooked cross' is a fucking great song. Love the first drum beat. Great riffs in Angel of Death too (probably their magnum opus in terms of songs).

Their guitar solos mostly sound like chromatic noise to me though.

You might not be interested, but theres a thrash band called 'evile' from the UK that sound a bit like slayer (i reckon anyway) so you might like them.

Yea Evile are awesome. Fun fact: they started out as a Metallica cover band called "Metal Militia".

Lol i always hated it when bands named themselves after a song of another band they like

Do you like Death Angel?

 

[Spirit Crusher]

Dark Angel > Death Angel. Act III rules, though.

mastodon times a billion yes in agreement.

mastodon is the only mainstream metal band i find that is doing anything interesting today.

blood mountain ftw.

Okay Opeth fans,


Opeth reach Watershed moment in Australia.

Opeth exist in a genre of one…

The forward-thinking Swedish titans, who seamlessly and fluidly combine metal, classic rock, prog, folk and free form jazz, continue the time-honored Opeth tradition on ‘Watershed’, their ninth album.

‘Watershed’ picks up where 2005’s flawless ‘Ghost Reveries’ left off, beginning contemplatively before erupting into full-bore chaos. The band are also bolstered by the addition of some new membership. Drummer Martin Axenrot and new guitarist Fredrik Åkesson, formerly of Arch Enemy.

‘Watershed’ was recorded in the band’s native Sweden and was produced by Åkerfeldt and Jens Bogren who stamp the undeniable Opeth sound on every note.

Opeth will continue to hold the mantle of the most innovative, creative and revered heavy artist of recent times with the release of 'Watershed'...an album no doubt poised to extend their reputation as masters in the genre.

So what could possibly add to the excitement of the release of ‘Watershed’ on May 31st…?

…After a sold out run of shows in April 2006, Opeth announce that they will once again tread the boards of our nation’s venues, with the ‘Watershed’ tour this September.
