Reminds me a little bit of Crypt Lurker, who are also well worth investigating.

(Not necessarily heavy bands, but probably best thread for it)

The amount of bands from my youth releasing albums this year (or next) just keeps growing...

Linkin Park
Sum 41
Blink 182
KoRn
Marilyn Manson
Metallica
Tool (hopefully!)

[Swervin_Mervin]

Tool - I'll believe that when I see it!

Heard a few tracks of the latest Chevelle album and am liking it so far. Will probably get a copy. Heavier than their last few by some way. They're just a great heavy rock band imo - a rare thing these days.

I left Opeth off that list but they have one too. So do Green Day apparently...

Nice, I really enjoyed the last album, didn't realise the next one was out this year.

Opeth, that is.

They have a new song on Spotify, I like it!

Not a fan of their last effort. They need to get back to Still Life era, and quickly

Funnily Still Life is the only album of theirs they don't have!

I've barely listened to the last two efforts. The move away from the heavy stuff just didn't work for me. I'll probably stream this one instead of preordering it regardless!

For some reason I only just started listening to Dillinger escape plan recently, bought ire works in a 2 for £10 at hmv. First couple listens, most of it just seemed like noise to me but after a while a good chunk of it has just clicked and I love it, dead as history and mouth of ghosts being excellent IMO. Bought option paralysis since and found some decent stuff in there as well.

Just throwing some thoughts around really though! I always assumed they'd never have been something I'd like but I've found some new favourite tracks from taking a chance.
So no i'm going to dig back through this thread a bit as I'm seeing bands I've heard of but not actually heard. Can't go wrong finding good new music

[Blayney]

I struggle with TDEP. I've seen them live and it was just noise.

Any tracks you suggest as an entry point now that you've come round to them?

edit - reread your post and you already mentioned some!

[Ian974]

It's strange, some of it I've really got stuck into, there is still a fair bit I just don't get at all and just skip! But I found it quite weird that listening to some of it a few times it seemed to go from being noise to very well put together music?
Other than those tracks, black bubblegum, farewell Mona Lisa and milk lizard are tracks I do like.

[Swervin_Mervin]

I tried Ire Works as well. I think it's had barely 2 listens. It is just a wall of noise to me. They're no SikTh

Oh how I love SikTh. Do you have a favourite track?

[Gompo]

I quite like DEP, I find it strange how something like that can become so popular.

Not seen them live yet, apparently they're awesome.

I love most of their stuff, and Death of a Dead Day delivers on practically every track. But Part of the Friction always gets me on that album.

That said, I've listened to the Opacities EP so much I'm surprised the CD isn't worn out. That's their finest work yet imo. Nothing else I've heard from any other artist in the genre comes close. It's like they created a genre, left for a few years, let everyone have a go, and then came back and moved the game on so much that all their fellow genre-ists are left scratching their heads as to how they do it.

My sentiments precisely on Opacities. I'm looking forward to the full length that may come next year, although it won't be the same with Justin gone.

[Swervin_Mervin]

Ah bums I'd missed that news.

Oh well, these things happen. Fingers crossed Rosser can deliver - I'm confident in Sikth's approach to what they want to create, so am sure they'll pull it off.

[Blayney]

Yeah it's a shame, just glad I've seen them live a few times in the original line up. New guy is from one of the side projects and is very good anyway!

The new Black Crown Initiate album is tremendous.

Sounds like it could be on most of his recent albums, which I like but prefer his older stuff, will wait until it's out in full.

Had a quick listen on Spotify, haven't explored that sub-genre much, but I like that

I've tried but really can't get into Opacities. I've no clue why, it just doesn't seem to inspire me like the previous 2 albums but I can't put my finger on the reason. The Trees are Dead and Dried... is a masterpiece, one of my favourite albums ever!
