Are you familiar with the term "non sequitur?"

Update:

All right, on the whole death/thrash band, yeah well it's not happening. My guitarist and drummer are now in tight situations and can't afford to do anything right now, so it's a one man show for now. Because, however, I don't have any method of recording all the parts yet, the project is on standstill, but I began writing riffs, bass lines, lyrics, and drum patterns recently. It's coming together slowly but surely.

Also, it's not really death/thrash anymore as it is sludge/death, or Eyehategod with less noise and no vocals.

Sludgey, Sludgey, Sludgey :D.

Enjoying me some Pain of Salvation right now. New Year's Eve is one of my all time favorite progressive metal songs. Fuck that. It's one of my all time favorites in general. It's such a great song.

By the way, what tuning do you use?

The Perfect Element I is one of my guilty pleasures. There's some good songs on there but every time they flirt with nu metal it really kills the moment. I haven't listened to any of their earlier stuff yet.

Lol, right?

Yeah, they do that, but they're still a really good band overall. I would recommend One Hour by the Concrete Lake to anyone who likes good prog metal based just on New Year's Eve. I was even humming that when I went out earlier today. I just remembered that.

Hey, Nev. Who is ANAMALECH? They friended me a while ago on Myspace, but they have no songs up, and I noticed they have your band as a friend as well, and a bunch of doom/sludge type bands added as friends.

Check out Irreversible...

That sounds like a pretty awesome movie. I'll check it out.

At 4/23/09 05:02 PM, Centurion-Ryan wrote: Anybody want to recommend me any Tech Death?

aside from the obvious Death, Atheist, and Demilich, which are all brilliant, Illogicist is good stuff. And Neglected Fields isn't bad. Sinners Bleed seems pretty good, too. Priscila is a pretty crazy vocalist.

Gorod, Martyr, and Disembarkation are all really good as well.

I can programme you some drums if you can tab them out for me, I just finished building a virtual 8 piece drum kit and it sounds similar to the one you guys heard on my Moonlight Sonata cover.

If your still interredted in Tech Death bands, check these out Ryan
(I'll also put br00tal tech)

Origin
Blotted Science
Benighted
Necrophagist
Atheist
Necrophagist

but you probably already know about a lot of those, right ?
:P

I'll try, but I need to find a drum tab maker thing first. They wouldn't be too complicated or anything though. Just some slow simple beats with a few fills which eventually builds up to blast beats and maybe some d-beats here and there.

I like Falling Into Infinity. Its underrated in my opinion.

That's fine, it's understandable if some Dream Theater fans like the album, but personally, I don't find it to be very enjoyable.

Pagan's Mind is an excellent band, just got that album.

I gave them a listen to a year or two again. I wasn't too interested in their music back then, but just listening to this song right now is changing my mind. I'll need to look into more of their songs and see if I will enjoy their music a lot.

Yepper.

Most certainly. They're releasing a new album next month, so checking their stuff soon would be good timing. You might want to start off with their Battleheart demos, which are free somewhere.

Oddly enough of myself, I've yet to check them out, despite acknowledging their existence for a few years now.

I think its my bandmates ex-bandmates band (the bassist to be precise). Apparently they're Black Metal (or were). The impression I get, very unsubtly, from my bandmates is that he's a useless idiot who constantly changes what he thinks is cool.

Without having any songs though he managed to get a gig with Lazarus Blackstar, who are tits as.

I have a fairly simple question to some.
I really really like the new Mastodon disc.
I have all their discs but Remission and find the new to be their best.
Musically and lyrically I find it their best work yet.
Yet, some in here hate it.
I am just curious as to why some don't like it.
I don't want to start another damn flame war.
I just want to discuss the reasons rationally.
Any takers?
Thanks in advance>

I'm not a huge fan of the vocals, but there are much worse bands. I haven't listened to much Mastodon, except for Blood and Thunder. I think Mastodon are just one of those bands that elitists on MA and such like to hate, much like the Sword.

I actually like the vocals.
Like how both singers complement each other.
Blood and Thunder is ok but I still say Crack the Skye Is their best work.
I never listen to music critics that are younger than me, can't see some teen telling me what I should or should not listen to considering I remember when the Beatles were still a band LOL.
And The Sword just fucking kick ass>

Mastodon are like Tool for me. There are a few songs which I love and then the rest just bores me. I know its good, but it doesn't pull me in at all.

They were amazingly dull live too. Though they have pretty beards.

Never seen them live, seems to me they wouldn't sound as good as on their studio recordings.
I can relate to the Tool reference, Some tool I just love while most just seems the same to me.
I guess Mastodon are one of those bands that you like right off , or they grow on you, or you just don't like their sound.
Now this is more like it, an intelligent discussion without "F**K Mastodon, they suck and dissed Dragonforce"

Have they actually dissed DragonForce before? I can easily understand people disliking DragonForce, but the only band I know they hated/made fun of is Dream Theater, and that was 2 1/2 years ago. Despite DT are one of my favourite bands, I listen to Mastodon because I enjoy their music, so whatever they think of other bands isn't that important to me.
