Re: Rock and Metal SocietyDiscovered a pretty cool band on youtube the other day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0_4Y...feature=relmfu
they have like a few hundred views, but I think they sound pretty good considering the drummer doesn't even play drums and it's not been 'properly' recorded. don't like the vocals though.. a bit of electric wizard, sleep and kyuss in there. -

Re: Rock and Metal Society(Original post by metalthrashin'mad)
or dismember.
I like both bands but I can't imagine ever viewing them in anything like such a good light.
I mean, Entombed > Dismember (no arguments) for a start. ;p -

Re: Rock and Metal Societywell I like both. And Entombed are hardly consistent, there is much more, much better stuff in the Entombed discography.(Original post by concubine)

Re: Rock and Metal SocietyAutopsy are the best DM band ever. Fact. Even ****fun is good. Macabre Eternal is a modern DM classic, and the first three are in the top 50 DM albums ever, and the first two in the top 20, with Mental Funeral second only to Altars Of Madness (and MA's second best - Covenant - is nowhere near as good as Severed Survival).

Re: Rock and Metal SocietyI'm not an MA fan, but yeah even SF is good, and acts is probably my favourite. Filthy as **** atmosphere.(Original post by TheDefiniteArticle)

Re: Rock and Metal SocietyI bought Belus the other day with an amazon voucher. I listened to it once all the way through, and I suspect I may never touch it again, save for Glemselens Elv, Belus' Dod and Sveddans.
More people should know about this band:
That particular song just gets better and better for me! -

Re: Rock and Metal SocietyOnly everyone has probably seen it posted around multiple times already. And it's not really funny.
Got this the other day. It's good. The best track has been taken down from YouTube, ALAS.Last edited by concubine; 10-04-2012 at 15:44. -

Re: Rock and Metal SocietyGot back from Inferno Fest in Norway yesterday. Was pretty awesome staying in a hotel with a few hundred other metalheads, meeting ICS Vortex and seeing Borknagar/Arcturus/Autopsy/Agalloch/One Tail, One Head and a bunch of others. Did a fun bit of black metal sightseeing also

Re: Rock and Metal SocietyUnfortunately not, camera decided to get water inside it and break the first day. The black metal gallery was loads and loads of old Darkthrone/Mayhem/Burzum/Trelldom/Old Funeral tapes/demos/t-shirts/flyers and the like. And a recreation of a shed where the 'inner circle' used to hang out. Went into the basement of Helvete (now a coffee shop) where 'Black Metal' is still written...and not much else.(Original post by Manitude)
Sounds great - get any photos on your sightseeing trip?
Badass, really enjoyed Dodsengel's last full length, this should be great.(Original post by concubine)

Edit: ****ing hell, two and a half hours? Guess this one isn't going to be an easy listening experience. -

I think if I ever get myself rich enough to go to Norway I'll be checking these things out. -

Eh, I found it easy enough. I'm sure most people that enjoy music spend that amount of time listening to it fairly frequently. And I never get when people (that apparently enjoy the music) claim that certain BM bands (and those of other 'extreme' genres) are 'difficult' to listen to. To me, it would be difficult to sit down and listen through a whole album of Justin Bieber or something similar, because I don't enjoy it. Aborym or Blut Aus Nord's MoRT, whatever. None of that is 'difficult'. I think people either claim it is to appear KEWL, or they don't really like it.
Anyway, this album rules.It seemed even slower paced than their previous releases, for the most part, which is fine. The vocals, which have always been really varied, are all over the place, and it's great. There's some female singer whose voice is fantastic. The music sounds substantially more 'experimental' a fair amount of the time (there's some srs dodgy carnival like vibe on certain tracks that reminds me of Oranssi Pazuzu if they were grim ritual witches from the caves and not... astronauts?) and whereas before their 'ROCKING' riffs always sounded to me like more typical BLACK METAL DOES ROCK, now some are more like the reversal.
People will undoubtedly criticize some of the ambient/instrumental sections as filler. But **** them.
Need to give this a few more listens to see if it beats Lunar Aurora. It's ahead of Lake of Blood, Mgla and Dodecahedron, fosho.
http://helligearg.bandcamp.com/ these guys seem really promising.Last edited by concubine; 11-04-2012 at 07:43. -

Re: Rock and Metal Society'To see if it beats Lunar Aurora. It's ahead of... Mgla and Dodecahedron'
Implying that you think that distinctly mediocre LA album was better than those fantastic albums from the latter two?
Some music is difficult to listen to because it requires a lot of interaction and thinking about whilst you're listening to it. If you listen to something poppy, it's quite 'easy', because you hear a chorus throughout a song and you can practically sing along by the time the song finishes. Similarly, a very long album is difficult to listen to because the brain becomes desensitized to the same sort of music for that period of time. It's like going to a brutal death festival. -

Re: Rock and Metal SocietyUpon first listen I thought JI were fairly hit and miss tbh, although in saying that I only listened to Distant In Solitary Night and To Embrace The Corpses Bleeding. I liked a few songs from said albums, but overall I thought they were nothing special.(Original post by TheDefiniteArticle)
Judas Iscariot are pretty good.
