for fans of heavy music

[CommanderJameson]

A little bit of this. A little bit of that. Violence, blackmail and sex.

White King

[hornet]

One for the "things Tuscaneer might like" list methinks :-

Shattered Skies

[pirabbit]

I am a fan of heavy music. But my none of best friends like it. What a pity!

[captainmatt]

New Safety Fire album is pretty massive. Starts out kind of similar to the last one but then just builds and builds into something much heavier (with a few exceptions - they love their "musical sorbets"). Highlights so far are "Beware the Leopard" (featuring Tommy Giles Rogers Jr from BTBAM) and "The Ghosts That Wait for Spring"

Won't link to it, given it's not out yet, but has anyone else heard the new Carcass? Liking what I've heard a great deal.

Footnote - how is it 22 years since Necroticism?!

Not too bad that!! But my weirdness concerning vocals rears its head again......far too hair metal for my ears!

New Exhumed :-

So, new Carcass for those who liked Heartwork, and new Exhumed for those who didn't

[hornet]

Few odds and sods that have been floating my metal boat of late.

Aeolist
Ruins of Beverast
Carcass

[Swervin_Mervin]

Just heard this and will be checking these guys out in greater detail

It's a bit Protest-y, but that's no bad thing.

I've still not bothered with the new Carcass album, I'm expecting too much of a polished sound (I did hear Captive Bolt Pistol).

RoB are definitely worth a listen yes, I was hoping to see them at the end of October (with MGLA) but plans have changed, and I'm still seeing MGLA but later in the year.

Enjoyed hearing this for the first time today, some nice leads:

Bolzer - Coronal Mass Ejaculation

Along with this, which I decided to gamble with despite usually waiting for the full album but for things I with high expectations. Doesn't sound like they've moved on much but enough to keep me interested. Must stop playing it:

Inquisition - Darkness Flows to Unseen Kingdoms

And this.. Good album as a whole, although bit of Emperor seems to come in around 4.40 on this track:

Christicide - Solitude with the Devil

[hornet]

I'll admit I was unsure about the new Carcass, as I was always a Symphonies/Necroticism man over Heartwork, but new one has it about right. It is polished, but not in that "look at how melodic a melodic death metal band we are!" type way. Nothing feels over done to my ears. Everything is where it needs to be. New Exhumed is great if you're after a cracking older school sound.

Tusaneer's influence is spreading! Discovered these recently that I'm taken with:

Circles - Clouds are Gathering

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd0uIWu4i0E

First Signs of Frost (yet another act Dan Tompkins has flirted with) - this is a cover of Jose Gonzalez's Crosses

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAnwIz5QXH4

Love that cover - it may help that I love the Gonzalez album to being with but that is just a perfect interpretation in my view.

I would say that I don't think that everything Dan Tompins touches turns to gold - he and Dan Weller worked on the In Colour venture and it does nothing for me - sounds like regular bland Radio 1 safe light rock. :?

[tuscaneer]

Circles are the dog's bks. New album due imminently too!! Like the jose gonzales cover mate and I agree his album is absolutely fantastic. I'd not heard of first signs of frost before

[tuscaneer]

Can't link off me phone but just checked youtube and circles new song responses is up from basick records in the last day or two. Sounding pretty good on first listening!!

[hornet]

Been enjoying the vocal free version of this recently :-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6f-eiRhR-EM

First got into them through their instrumental stuff, so not sold on the addition of vocals, as I don't think they really add anything. Others differ. Thankfully the band stay out of the argument and offer both on their Bandcamp page, so everyone wins

[MonkeyBusiness]

Currently needing a fix of thrash metal.

Found a couple tonight that I thought I'd share.

Warbringer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJqFe36gSgw
Violator - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmU3e84nVC0 - nice bit of Brazilian thrash. Seems the scene is alive and well. Not sure about the vocals but it's all there. Nice & tight, good riffs.

[AnimalMkIV]

Violator are great.

How about some thrashing puppets? How many classic thrash references can you spot in this video?

Not wild about their visuals or stagecraft, but an interesting approach to the music.

I take it you've seen them? They're essentially a parody band but they play well and really get the crowd going. Seeing a 3000+ crowd all crab dancing at Bloodstock was quite something. There are too many serious bands around, it's good to see one having a laugh.

[hornet]

Evil Scarecrow get my vote simply for their Thundercats cover, but then I was always a sucker for Acid Reign / Lawnmower Deth daftness way back when

Slightly more seriously...

Gospel of the Horns
Nocturnal Graves
Toxic Holocaust

Absolutely love Toxic Holocaust. Sure, it's one dimensional proto-thrash that's permanently stuck in 1985, but it's bloody glorious to my ears. Doesn't feel remotely forced, which is where too much of the new wave of old school stuff falls down.
