Speaking of people leaving and cancelling tours...

Jeff Loomis has retired from Nevermore and the Aus tour has been cancelled :(

Soz double post,Yea it's been ages,don't spend so much time on the computer now... but I've been awesome, went to Soundwave Festival in Melbourne and saw some amazing bands like; The Sword, High on Fire, Slash, Dimmu Borgir, QOTSA, All That Remains and Protest The Hero etc etc.

And I've just enrolled in a tertiary pre-exam course to prepare myself to join the Police here.

What's new around here?

Such a treatment is punishment enough.

For anyone interested.

Haha I never would have imagined myself really digging these bands a few years ago, but you'd be surprised where you end up in a few years in terms of musical expansion :p

Lot of things. Almost done with school :) I'll have much more time to give to Metal now :)
Gotta get my hands on Mafia EP by Fleshgod Apocalypse, and get to know the band Solefald, since everybody is talking about them !!

Fuck yeah Mafia is ridiculously good! Abyssal is an especially awesome song :D Solefald are great too I remember Sensey recommending them to me ages ago.

Newest Agalloch is great btw, you should definitely check them out. Looking at your charts, I see their is toooooo little Blood Red Throne in there. Gotta work on this bro :)

I should probably give BRT's discog a spin through sometime it's been a while.

Recently discovered Animals As Leaders, pretty much in love with it.

Ahh I remember being 17 and an Elitist prick.
Probably the biggest waste of time ever.

My last.fm charts from the past 6 months and when I was 17

Pretty much explains my absence from here. So what's been going on guys?

Haven't posted here in a loong time.

But thought I'd share a thought that myself and friend were discussing earlier today.

Basically the 80/90's produced a lot of metal bands that have become legends with members of the bands household metal names. Think about it there's the Big Four, Maiden, Sabbath, Motorhead, Pantera, Judas Priest, Dio, Ozzy, Cliff Burton, Dimebag,... and it goes on.

But since the late 90's onwards there really hasn't been any bands reaching this level or attention or I guess recognition. Lamb of God, In Flames and Children of Bodom are three that come to mind, regrettably Slipknot and Avenged Sevenfold also probably make the list in terms of 'heavy' music.

What I'm getting at is, in another 10/20 years or so what bands do you think will be remembered from the 00's (Noughty's)?

People still use(d) Limewire?

The Absence's new album is up for streaming if anyone loves amazing MDM.

And I gotta say it's devastatingly awesome.

Linky Linkers

Loved that track! Getting the whole album for sure.

MEGADETH PLAYING 'RUST IN PEACE' IN FULL LIVE, PLUS a bunch of other shitty core bands with the odd one or two awesome bands thrown in.

I just found out about this today, fucking super psyched to see Megadeth again and 3 INCHES OF BLOOD!

Ibanez RGA32.
Stock Active's belt out a brutal tune.

That's assuming we actually care about being 'true' metalheads.

Which I'm pretty confident most of us here aren't.

They are my favourite Metallica tribute band, ever!

Yeah he is in Witchery now.

Their first album is amazing by the way. I highly recommend it to everyone. Legion is only on their newest though.

Because it's emotionless and robotic imo.

This is interesting for me, because I usually associate those feelings with the actual song writing rather than the sound.

Also, bitrate /= production quality. Of all of my cd's that I've copied to my computer I've ripped to FLAC and almost all of them would be considered badly produced by most people.

Yeah I was referring to the quality of the sound there more than production quality, was a bit misleading there.

Speaking of production quality.

Lately I've become a real sucker for crisp, air tight, clean production.
If I can't find something in 320kbps or higher I usually won't bother getting it.
And if the album was made with garbage production I'll probably hate it.

Sure there is over production on lots poppy scene bands. But bands like Hour of Penance/New Behemoth for example have excellent production on their music but I know people will say it's over produced bullshit, when really; it's just produced well and not rubbish like 99% of 'trve kvlt' bands.

So basically what I'm asking is, why is their so much hate on well produced modern metal?

Why do you think it sucks, may I ask?

Well, The Sword is going to be playing, which almost reason enough for me to go.

Wouldn't mind seeing All That Remains either.

The rumoured bands are almost unreal.

I've paid $160 to see Iron Maiden and Metallica tickets are costing me the same.

But that's in Australian Dollars, which is worth about as much as a peso.

Event Horizon.

Still the creepiest movie I've ever seen.

I can only think of Atmospheric Black Metal at the moment, so here you go.

Oh god, I only bought Brutal Legend so I could hear their song.

'Brutal Death Metal' is a label I use for bands like Hour of Penance, Kronos and Skinless etc.

Using the term 'Technical' I try and avoid when classifying though. Just feels weird; categorising music on it's level of difficulty.

Thanks Captain.
