i saw Skeletonwitch,Toxic Holocaust, TBDM and Take Them(never heard of

TH hung out after his set, and seemed like a cool guy. i got a nice SW
shirt, the place was a complete SHITHOLE(being kind), that i have never
been to, and can do without ever again yuck!!!!!! i caught some of
TBDM, strong band, but even too much going on for me, plus a very long
day.
there was maybe 100-150 peeps. they said it was near the end of the
tour, and every one seemed genuine in their thanking all who showed up.
even tho it was a complete Dump!!!, i had as good a time as i have had
at a show in along time. it was a real metal show and even the smell of
BO and Piss can't ruin that :) btw young attractive ladies doesn't hurt
either haha.

It's funny how much a mood band Korpiklaani are for me.
I listened to Voice of the Wilderness the other day while having a
pint with some friends and it was good times, air guitar and
headbanging abounded.
Put the same CD on yesterday and it annoyed the shit out of me, to the
point where I walked across the room to switch to some Concrete

As much as I love Korpiklaani I must admit they don`t suit my every mood. I
much prefer their drunken, up beat tunes as well. It`s fair to say they`re a

No, they`re still playing. I don`t really get what you have against them
really, a quality death metal band. The new album is infinitely more
interesting than anything Vader have done in years. That said Vader are a
brilliant live act....Augury may well be shit live I`ve never seen them.

I'm seeing Swashbuckle, The Amenta, Augury, Decrepit Birth, Warbringer, and

Maybe you'd be better off taking the day off to recover. Even though
you're a basic kid, compared to us old guys, you still can't be going

But, don't they have to play a large percentage of "Canadian
artists" on Canadian radio? It's unfair. Last thing I believe I heard
by Triumph on the radio was "Fight the Good Fight"
I mostly like the middle albums by them. The Sport of Kings and
Surveillance though, sort of spotty and I didn't listen to those
albums much.

I don't know about "have to," but yeah we are overexposed to a fair
number of Canadian mainstream bands and artists.
If I never hear Alanis Morrisette again, that'll be fine by me!

I had planned on taking the day off, but someone else in my department has

I think there is some sort of 'Canadian content' rule. If someone's forced

I was not, in fact, aware of that. Should have guessed, though.

I believe he has a total of 9 studio albums plus a couple of live and
one greatest hits album. If you are talking about Jim Steinman, I
think he wrote a couple songs here and there for Meatloaf between the
3 Bat Out Of Hell albums but that's it. The BOOH cd's are Steinman's
projects.

That's too bad. I probably should limit my intake of caffine, but my
doctor didn't say anything about it, and they brought me coffee in the
hospital. I guess it's ok. I am drinking less of it than I was before,
though.

I'd rather not be forced to hear something I don't want to hear. I
guess it's why I listen to the radio only during car trips. I do have
a CD player, but I can't see loading a CD for a 5 minute drive.

That's an asshole play for sure. Unless there's some good reason for
a delay, they should hit the stage a lot sooner than that. Unless that
is how the show was supposed to go. I know some of those festival
things run sort of late in the night.

Maybe that would be a good thread. Bands you don't like much of
anything by, but one song is enough to forgive the others.

Continued through the Triumph catalog, and yeah, SoK and S are
somewhat like I remembered them. Not something I think I'd go back to

I do like most of Allied Forces, Never Surrender and Thunder Seven.

I am not a fan of Creed. Heard a lot of their songs, though. If you

It's fine, but it's not in the league with Mastodon Crack the Skye.
Let alone a few other albums I've been liking. That it's taken so long

Actually it was UA. I liked TSHF off the first time I listened to
it. I only said before hearing it, I was skeptical, as they hadn't
done an album I liked in ages.

Suffocation, see Napalm comment again. The new Waste is great of course.
Haven`t heard the rest. Looks like there`s plenty to check out still in `09.
Many of my favourite releases ( Kreator, Megadeth, Drudkh, Slough Feg, Blut
Aus Nord, Candlemass, Anaal Nathrakh, Absu, Wodensthrone, Ulcerate and
Voivod are nowhere to be seen! )

Just checked these out on myspace, first thing I noticed was they played 20
minutes walk from my house earlier in the month so I was hoping to hate
them! They remind me of a cross between Mastodon and Celtic Frost but
despite that I`m fairly ambivalent to what I`ve heard.
>>14. Magrudergrind- S/T
This is more my thing, kind of early dirty thrash sound mixed with DRI
crossover type stuff. Would possibly get boring over 40 minutes but I`ll
give the album a listen.
>>19. The Atlas Moth-A Glorified Piece Of Blue Sky
>
> No idea again
This started off quite promising, slow, depressive, doomy stuff but the
riffs and guitar sound was cool...but then a horrible vocalist just ruined
it for me. If it`s all as slow as the song I heard I`d get bored as well.
>>22. Mournful Congregation- The June Frost
>
> Don`t know
This lot appear to have been around since the mid 90`s but I`ve never heard
of them. Sounds a bit early Paradise Losty, insanely slow and
depressing...not for me!
I`ll come back to the rest tomorrow.
p t
Converge at #2 is laughable(on Chris Rock levels :). i saw them last
month (Mastodon show), they did nothing for me, and the crowd couldn't
care less.
no Augury or Centaurus-A on the list either.
todays plays
Immortal-AsF
S.O.D.- SeoD(possibly the best album title ever)
Belphegor-the new cd
Dark Tranquillity just put out a 2x live cd, will have to check it out,
alot of other goodies out there for 09 as Soze said. Soze i would have
checked out alot of that BM stuff you mentioned, but of course most of
it is pricey oh well maybe soon. that is cool someone mentioned DF to
you at work(at least somebody besides me likes them :).

I have over 70 albums in my 2009 file so far, need to go through them and
discard a few but there`s easily 40 great ones. I`d subtract TGoS, Asphyx,
Dream Theater and Epica from your list and include Alestorm, Anaal Nathrakh,
Belphegor, Blood Tsunami, Bornholm, The Chasm, De Magia Veterum, Destroyer
666, Drudkh, Ensiferum, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Funeral Mist, God Dethroned,
Municipal Waste, Hypocrisy, Nile, Wodensthrone, Voivod, Slough Feg,
Ulcerate...plus perfectly acceptable releases by Obituary, Suffocation,
Behemoth, While Heaaven Wept, Vader, Tenet, Sacrifice, Napalm Death, Marduk,
Mutant, Korpiklaani, Insomnium, Evile, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Black Dahlia
Murder, Cormorant, Cattle Decapitation...plus great live albums by Emperor,
Destruction and Maiden!
p t
those you added(and like), and will get to a bunch of the rest. i like
the Ulcerate btw.
i got my hands on Heathen's- Victims of Deception, if they were ever
mentioned in here i missed it. i love this cd, a hidden gem i am glad
i stumbled upon.

What do reviewers know anyway. I saw this at the local shop for
$12.49. I may buy it soon.

I am surprised the Kreator and Megadeth didn't get mentioned.
Speaking of MD, Dave now hates RR again. Because his album is off
the charts, although still selling more per week than many albums I
buy ever do.
"Endgame" has sold around 87,000 copies in the United States since its
release nine weeks ago. The CD registered the following U.S. weekly
sales, according to Nielsen SoundScan:
Week 1: 44,696
Week 2: 12,833
Week 3: 8,640
Week 4: 5,583
Week 5: 3,948
Week 6: 3,258
Week 7: 3,225
Week 8: 2,817
Week 9: 2,389
By the way, I did play it Friday at work. Enjoyed it.
I also played Origin-Antithesis. Enjoyed it.

I neglected to say, the first two albums by this band, I think are
way beyond just good.

1991-Victims of Deception

The music I like a lot. Not that big a fan of this type of vocals
though. I do think I could live through hearing it a few times if I
had the CD.

On AMS it was stated that Baroness is a bit like Mastodon, but lower
key. I think from listening to this on their myspace page they do
sound somewhat like Mastodon, on some songs, more than a bit. More
like a lot. I think it's something I could listen to a good number of
times, definately think Mastodon should be higher on this list, and
won't pass too harsh a judgment on Baroness except to say not #1.
Tom
If they put Mastodon Cts #1, and Baroness where they had Mastodon,
would make more sense.
Soze
>Tom
I have heard Baroness but I don`t remember them making much of an
impression. I may download this new album though, it`s getting a lot of
praise.
p t
don't know what stuff you checked out, but i doubt the original guy(they
had two vocalists before) would help you much. they have a new cd
coming out in Feb Yayyy!!!!

A fair chance. I think that's all they could ask for.
Tom
tom.m...@gmail.com
I believe the songs I heard were from the newest album. I am more
tolerant of growling/screeching type vocals than Ritchie is, but I
still don't like them a lot.
Tom
Soze
I`m listening to it as I type, sounds OK although I`m not really in the mood
for what they do just now. When in such a mood I may well enjoy it more.
Speaking of which I did play The Mantle by Agalloch quite late last night
and found it rather pleasant, they`ve always bored the bejesus out of me in
the past so when the mood takes hold who knows!
