The what are you listening to 2010 edition

[Cyberninja]

So, like, I watched the last episode of Scrubs. Okay, technically, it's S08: EP18-19. But it's how Scrubs should have ended, dammit! It was a perfect ending. Anyway, being listening to some songs from the series, some of them are really cool. My favorites:

Hands of Time - Ron Sexsmith
In the Sun - Joseph Arthur
Book Of Love - Peter Gabriel (beeeutiful song! I'm gonna use it for a video dedication. :P)
Walking next to you - Acres
How to save a Life - The Fray
Hey Julie- Fountains of Wayne
Winter - Joshua Radin

[FEN1X]

Been looking into a lot of local stuff, Parlortones, Zebra and Giraffe, aKing and the Dirty Skirts.

New Gorillaz, and a random band I found through a voutube vid called the Dandy Warhols.

[Rah_Skill]

Hey Julie- Fountains of Wayne


They have other songs?! I thought Stacy's Mom was like all they did. o.O

[onona]

The Dandy Warhols are great! They're not random either, they're fairly well known. My favourite album of theirs is Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia.

[Aesir]

Can someone please tell me where I can get the full version of the "Crysis, The Wall" new york new york song, who sang it, etc? From the millions I have heard this one is the best. I'm desperate. :(

[Mr_krinkle]

Listening to tracks from ut99. A lot of them are really good.

Foregone Destruction is really good.

[Cleric]

This is a public service announcement: All metalheads, go buy Parkway Drive's new album (Deep Blue). Trust me.

That is all.

Agreed, they are pretty darn cool, but for some reason, they sound almost like Devil Driver on some songs.

[Cyberninja]

They have other songs?! I thought Stacy's Mom was like all they did. o.O

Ya know, I totally forgot that these were the same guys who sang "Stacy's Mom". Until you mentioned it. :P But, yeah, they're both awesome songs. <3

uh... no thanks...

Metalcore FAIL... No really. Hate me now, I don't care...

I relinquish my metalhead title. From now on, I don't listen to metal as a genre anymore.

BACK ON TOPIC: Currently listening to lots of Rosetta, Cult of Luna, Meshuggah, Uneven Structure and MGS soundtracks (Harry-Gregson Williams FTW).

[James Donaldson]

Combine Road on the NAG DVD

[onona]

Meshuggah

Clearly their singer inspired your current avatar.

Would you maybe enjoy some Symphony X?
Symphony X: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUn4jXZko5E

Think Dream Theater, but more metal.

No thanks, I'm over technical wankery and since I pretty much dislike "singy" metal, I don't enjoy prog, power or speed metal (in most cases). Also, I don't like keyboards...

The only "prog metal" band I've come to like is Opeth and they have a strong death metal presence but the singing is good and not cheesy like most metal singers.

I have my opinions, I'm not saying my word is fact.


@Onona: Yes, I love Meshuggah and the many bands that have been influenced by them. So, the "face" I'm pulling is exactly what the singer and lead guitarist do.

Here are some examples of Jens (singer) and Fredrik (guitarist):

ZOMFG, I didn't think anyone else on these forums listens to Parkway Drive. You have just proven me wrong, good sir...

And you couldn't be more right about that album. So much more mature than their earlier work. It's just so good.

I never got into this style of music because it's trying to be too complex and it fails. Much the same with Avenged 7fold. I'll get a lot of hate for this, but the only band who can pull it off is Dragonforce.

That song started out so well until about 20 seconds in it sounded like the band had an epileptic fit in a music shop.

Trying to listen to Parkway Drive but Youtube appears to have been broken by me. Oops.

For a complete 180 from metal, I'm really digging The Morning Of and The Ataris.

[onona]

I'll get a lot of hate for this, but the only band who can pull it off is Dragonforce.


I honestly cannot even begin to fathom how or why anyone could possibly like Dragonforce. They're absolutely unlistenable. Dreadful, abysmal, utterly ghastly. I'd go so far as to say that they're the worst band I've ever heard in my entire life.

[Nferno]

This is a public service announcement: All metalheads, go buy Parkway Drive's new album (Deep Blue). Trust me.

If you're into Metalcore, keep an eye out for a band called Dead to Fall (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_to_Fall). They're not together any more, but the stuff they pumped out in their time was great.

I can't find the official music video for this song:

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fnAcVkpraHY&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fnAcVkpraHY&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

I was never really into this kind of music, but of late I have been listening to it. I Like Symphony X, its one of the beter bands of its style.

I understand what you are saying, but I don't see much keyboard in bands these days any more.
Some bands can pull it off by having a painist, and some not.

So, what would you say to Children Of Bodom then?

[Cleric]

Glad that you recognise the brilliance that is Opeth. Amazing writing, amazing structuring, amazing musicians, and Ackerfelt's voice is unparralelled.

[Signor 65]

At least they've gotten rid of ZP Theart, the "singer". It's a start at least... :P

[Eonblue]

Deftones- Diamond Eyes
How to destroy Angels
Polkadot Cadaver!! a must for all zombie lovers!

[Cleric]

How To Destroy Angels is wicked. Not much more than NIN with a female vocalist (who I believe is Trent's wife) but that's enough for me to love it.

[Mr_krinkle]

This is what I am listening too.

[sualk]

Opeth is pure WIN!

My favourite album from them has to be "Blackwater Park".

[Mr_krinkle]

Opeth is pure WIN!

Opeth is aweseome. I zone out when I listen to it. My drummer saw them live in england.

[sualk]

Just got the hair on my arms to stand up again after listening to the Opeth song "Hessian Peel" from their album Watershed.

Damn that song has so much feeling to it.

Damn your friend must have been in his element watching Opeth play live in the UK :)

[onona]

Opeth is ****ing awesome. I really admire any band that can switch from being really heavy to being really light and atmospheric, and to do it with such style. Blackwater Park and Damnation are both regulars on my ipod. I've seen them live three times and had tickets to see them again at the Royal Albert Hall in April, but unfortunately I injured my ankle really badly the day before while on holiday in Hungary and I had to miss the show, which was apparently brilliant ;_;

They're playing here again in a few weeks at a festival. The majority of the line up isn't really my scene but I may go to check them out again.

[L0S]

I think you should all take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-agl0pOQfs
It just gets better and better, hahaha.

[Machine]

So, what would you say to Children Of Bodom then?

Nope, never liked them.

During my late teens and early twenties, I went through a rough transition from thrash metal (Metallica and Slayer) to death metal. When I got bored of even death metal, I started swaying sideways to weirder things like post metal, math metal and deathgrind.

These days, I only listen to Slayer when I'm in the mood for something old or thrashy. I no longer enjoy Metallica (although when I'm feeling extra nostalgic I'll give them a listen since I used to be a BIG fan). I never ever liked Megadeth or Anthrax (too cheesy).

BACK ON TOPIC:

I've been listening to lots of Milla Jovovich again, ever since seeing that freaky documentary style movie "4th Kind". She's definitely my favourite actress (for her acting style and looks, not for raw skill). She's one of the very few female vocalists that I thoroughly enjoy (I also enjoy Feist)

Download Milla's free demos here: http://www.millaj.com/music/demos.shtml

I recently discovered Puscifer, it's a side project of Maynard James Keenan (Tool's singer). It's pretty chilled and catchy yet still dark and twisted. It's tasty goodness!

Check out Puscifer: http://www.myspace.com/censorshipisacancer (Listen to a song called "The Mission", it's got Milla Jovovich on vocals with Maynard. She did a few live shows with Maynard too)

They're official website is pretty awesome too: https://store.puscifer.com/

[sualk]

@ machine.I have lost all interest with Children Of Bodom.

Can't wait to get my Meshuggah album "Obzen" \^^/

I have come across a new Math Metal band by the name of Periphery.

Also waiting for the latest "Whitechapel" album to arrive.

Metal really has had it's ups and downs but hope that there a good few bands that will rise out of the ashes.

Yeah, Periphery isn't new. They've been around for a few years now, I made a post about them here on this forum here (in 2009): http://www.nag.co.za/forums/showthread.php?t=9375&highlight=periphery&page=26

I really enjoy their style but I get annoyed by the vocals, I'd obviously much prefer them to utilise harsh/screaming/growling MOST of the time.

ALSO, if you like Meshuggah you should listen to Uneven Structure. It's awesome, very similar to Meshuggah but very ambient.

For a taste, here's their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/unevenstructure

or download the album here: http://www.unevenstructure.net/ (It's legally free)

DJENT!

[7h3gr835hnoZz]

If I actually think about it I only Recently started to listen to music (2009-2010), it just didn't seem important, but when I found a song on my computer that was hidden in a very dark corner of my hard-drive, I was converted.

So now I listen to Sum41, Skillet, RED, Rammstein, Zebra & Giraffe, 3 Doors Down and some other random songs from here and there.
So basically rock, Hard Rock/Alternate Rock, and Christian rock

[Mr_krinkle]

Colonel claypool's bucket of bernie Brains.

Very very awesome group of people.

[L0S]

While going through my music I found my 36 Crazyfists albums, so I've been taking a good listen to 36 Crazyfists.

Also recently Discoverd Born Of Osiris. Love them.

Too lazy to Google ^.^

Something felt through a phone-line is from the 'Rest Inside The Flames' Album. It's an awesome album.


I have the 'Bitternes The Star' Album and and the 'Rest Inside The Flames' album.

Great choice of music Rah Skill ^__^

[Ruandre]

I'm listening to some The Decemberists (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Decemberists) albums.


The Legionnaire's Lament

I'm a Legionnaire
Camel in disrepair
Hoping for a frigidaire
To come passing by

I am on reprieve
Lacking my Joie de Vivre
Missing my gay Paree
In this desert dry

And I wrote my girl
Told her I would not return
I've terribly taken a turn
For the worst now, I fear

It's been a year or more
Since they shipped me to this foreign shore
Fighting in a foreign war
So far away from my home

If only some rain would fall
On the houses and the boulevards
And the sidewalk bagatelles
It's like a dream
With the roar of cars
And the lolling of the caf? bars
The sweetly sleeping, sweeping of the Seine
Lord I don't know if I'll ever be back again

Medicating in the sun
Pinch doses of laudanum
Longing for the old fecundity
Of my homeland

Curses to this mirage!
A bottle of ancient Shiraz
A smattering of distant applause
Is ringing in my poor ears

On the old left bank
My baby in a charabanc
Riding up the width and length
Of the Champs-Elysee

If only some rain would fall
On the houses and the boulevards
And the sidewalk bagatelles
It's like a dream
With the roar of cars
And the lolling of the caf? bars
The sweetly sleeping, sweeping of the Seine
Lord I don't know if I'll ever be back again

If only some rain would fall
On the houses and the boulevards
And the sidewalk bagatelles
It's like a dream
With the roar of cars
And the lolling of the caf? bars
The sweetly sleeping, sweeping of the Seine
Lord I don't know if I'll ever be back again

[TheLionsInnards]

What an awesome band indeed. I absolutely adore Crane Wife.

Have you heard Hazards Of Love?

It's an honest-to-God rock opera, featuring some guest vocalists owning the best sets of pipes I've heard in a while. Every time the Queen character comes in I get shivers.

The Rake's Song. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD1Aj7EYDog) A cheery folk-rock number about a man's marriage, and his subsequent killing of three of his children.

I've also started listening to Dinosaur Jr, starting with their latest album Farm. Pretty fun noise-rock.

[Nferno]

I'm listening to a whole lot of Limp Bizkit this month! \o/

No, I don't like Limp Bizkit. iTunes, however, thinks I should be listening to Limp Bizkit because it copied the Discography and only that over to my iPhone last time I synced it.

Now I have to wait until the end of the month to go home and get all mah music back. Damn you iTunes.

[Azraphael]

I've also started listening to Dinosaur Jr, starting with their latest album Farm. Pretty fun noise-rock.

Check out a track called "Missing Link" by Dinosaur Jr and Del the Funk Homosapien. Not too sure which album it is on but is originally off the Judgment Night soundtrack. Very cool track.

[Cleric]

Holy ****ing ****. I finally got my Opeth DVD, The Roundhouse Tapes. ****. Me. So much awesome. Truly incredible musicians.

[Mr_krinkle]

Pantera. Actually listening to a song called rise and it is the song they used in doom on one of there levels.

[sualk]

@ Cleric - that dvd from Opeth must be fokken awesome!

At the moment I'm listening to Atreyu "Congregation Of The Damned".

[Nferno]

Winamp -> Media List -> Shoutcast Radio -> Chronix Aggression Loud&Clear.

If it wasn't for this I'd still be listening to Limp Bizkit. Anybody else listen to any of the Shoutcast stations? First time I ever tried them and this one is superb, some brilliant metal on there.

Glad to see I'm not the only one. Chilled and twisted are probably the 2 best words to describe them. Really enjoy them, even though I only have "V is for Vagina". Really battling to track down "C is for ****" though.

August Burns Red is a damn awesome band, even though they have gone through a new vocalist for each new album.

I really admire Matt, their drummer.

[sualk]

I'm listening to the latest KoRn album "Remember Who You Are".

Ross Robinson is the best thing that has happened to the band in recent years.

Munky has really shone on this album(don't even miss Head from the sound).

The best effort since Untouchables.

[Signor 65]

I have been listening to a few bands lately:
Sylosis
Attack Attack!
Parkway Drive
Asking Alexandria
Alesana (not often though)
Miss May I
Opeth
And a few local bands in PE such as Amery Liszt and The Weekend Was Murder.

Oh, and this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qw7LEIDFCX4)...

AAAAAAAAnyway, I've been really getting into some more chilled music, 80's Rock and Metal, some blues. I've learnt how to play Sultans of Swing on the guitar, and I have to say ol' Mark Knopfler is a really skilful guitar player. Not necessarily the quickest or the most technical, but his finger technique is really good, and his playing has a lot of texture to it.

Also, Bon Jovi. I've learnt some of the iconic songs and solo's, and I'm loving it. Living on a Prayer, You give love a Bad Name, all really great, really catchy, and really fun to play songs.

Got hold of a lot of Black Sabbath, and I'm diggin' the crap out of it. Amazing how much power they coaxed out of a three piece band. Children of the Grave rawks my kouse off.

Tunnn tun tun tun tun tun, tun tun tun tun tun, tun tun tun tun TAAA RAAA!!!

Murderdolls' new single My Dark place Alone also has a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMttRr9qdyE

Cannot express how excited I am for Women and Children last. Murderdolls are one of my all time favorite bands. release is scheduled for 22d August.

New maiden Song , el Dorado http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lwrg2u_gCM

Final Frontier Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oIGP0BUt8s

Im not sure about the new maiden. I absolutely adored A matter of Life and Death, and I just don't think the new songs have lived up to it.

[sualk]

Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare;
Behemoth - Evangelion;
Fear Factory - Mechanize

[Dead!Raven]

Loving Nightmare. Fiction is just such a sad song. Makes me cry every time i hear it.

@ Dead!Raven - The new album is excellent.I'm loving "Fiction" too.Great song.

The "Rev" will always be missed.

[nukehead]

Stumbled across Silvesun Pickups' album "Swoon" in my playlist yesterday and have realised that they are quite awesome. Got some more of their earlier albums now... busy going through them quite rapidly.

They make me happy :D

[sualk]

I'm listening to this : http://www.myspace.com/commissionermusic

Side-project by the singer from Suicide Silence.

[Shadowrend]

Hmmm... Some dubstep, grime and DnB, mostly; see Tek-One, Noisia, Foreign Beggars, Omni Trio.

Also, newish rock band called Beta Satan, they're from Eastern Europe somewhere, Danish I think. Pretty badass (if sexist at times) lyrics, with the actual music sounding like of Franz Ferdinand and QOTSA had a baby. Give it a listen, yo!

- BACK ON TOPIC -

There hasn't been any decent new stuff coming out on the djent, dm or post metal scenes. So, I'm occasionally listening to my usual dm like Decapitate, Nile and The Faceless.

Although most days it's Meshuggah, Uneven Structure and Animals As Leaders (all their djenty goodness). I get my post metal fix from Rosetta and Cult of Luna.


What's new is every month Algorythm Recordings are releasing free live dnb mixes from the Homegrown parties (held in Cape Town).

They post up the latest mixes here: http://www.algorythmrecordings.com/homegrown.php

Are you basing this assumption off the new album, or have you actually heard their older stuff? Maybe it's just me but I don't find anything "light" about them, and I am a psy-trance fan.

RJD2
Noah and the Whale
The xx
Laura Marling
Mumford and Sons
Joanna Newsom


Some great indie folk out there these days.

@Machine

You listen to Noisia ?
Now -that- is some awesome DnB.

Seriously, Machine gun (and the 16bit remix) and split the atom are some of the best DnB I've ever heard in my life.

Also getting into dubstep lately, in fact, Koppi had some stuff going on which was pretty awesome, I tredged over the koppi whilst the rest of my pals were watching prime circle to go have a look at HEAZER which was pretty awesome.

To be honest I don't LISTEN to that much dnb but I'm more into the harder/darker stuff. There's always a place in my heart for any good ol' dnb beat (especially old school 90's stuff that I grew up on)

Noisa isn't really drum n bass, it's more like breakbeat (it's almost dubstep IMHO). It's way too chilled and slow. It's cool but not dnb in my opinion.

Did you even check out the links I posted???

THE REAL DEAL (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AqnYvKO_ks&feature=related)

One of my favourite dnb tracks from Centaspike (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPJRLJhOZiI)

[Boggle24]

I did check out the links, the one you just posted sounds a -lot- like pendulum to me actually.

I dunno, Noisia still seem too fast to be Dubstep for me, definitely DnB and Breakbeat.

HEAZER is really growing in me, and I'm listening to as much stuff as I can from Electrotrash.co.za (awesome website by the way).

After years of waiting, I finally picked up my copy of The Final Frontier by Iron Maiden. I'm really, really impressed with the album. It has some of Maiden's best work on it in years abd completely smashes AMOLAD in terms of riffs and lyrics.

[onona]

I'm also pretty much only listening to the new Maiden at the moment. The first time I listened to it, I was pretty unimpressed, but after a few more listens, it really grew on me. I think When the wild wind Blows is one of their greatest songs ever, even though it quite clearly borrows bits and pieces from various other numbers from their back catalogue. Isle of Avalon and Coming Home are good too, while The Alchemist quite bizarrely sounds like it was a leftover from the Killers sessions. Having said that, most of the album sounds far more like Bruce's last three solo albums than any previous Maiden recordings.

One thing that really does bother me though is Bruce's voice. On some songs, most notably Mother of Mercy, his voice sounds really strained, as if he's really struggling to hit the notes. And yet, I saw them live twice this month and he sounded fine live, so I have no idea what's up on the recording, but he really doesn't sound good in places.

I've never been a big fan of Kevin Shirley's production on their albums but I would say this record sounds a lot better, in terms of audio quality, than the last few.

[Cleric]

Any chance they're dropping a semi-tone live? It's very tough for an audience member to work out if that's the case or not as it's all relative, so the high notes sound right in context?

[onona]

Nah, I've seen Maiden many times live and have loads of their live stuff on DVD too - they definitely don't drop.

[McDangerous]

I got a really awesome MH tribute CD they did for Judas Priest. Overall I don't like it too much, but Breaking the Law (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coQ8485HXBg) and Living After Midnight (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlhbgHMYAFM&feature=fvw) are brilliant covers. If you know the original songs, check out the links I posted, they really are decent covers.

Also, I discovered my old Blink182 albums, and I forgot how happy and upbeat Enema of the State and TYP&J were. Really digging it, great studying music. Super happy and commercial, I know, but at the end of the day, it's just catchy music.

I've gotten a bit out of touch with metal as of late. It feels like everyone's just doing what the rest are doing. Everything either sounds like metalcore or thrash. I love both genres, but they've gotten a bit lately. I'm diggin' the oldschool though, Maiden, Priest, Black Sabbath.

Some oldschool Offspring as well.

[CraftyDick]

Today's music is really going down the toilet.

[Shadowrend]

Tek-One, mostly.

Also some QOTSA and Deftones.

OH! And Periphery.

[Cleric]

Back into NIN again. I just can't get enough of this band! Specifically, loving PrttyHateMachine and Downward Spiral at the mo.

Sidenote of shameless self-promotion:
My Life On Fire (http://mylifeonfire.yolasite.com/) is going back into the studio tonight to do live recordings of Idle Silence and Absent of One. Will upload to PureVolume asap.

EDIT: Recordings went well, just 2 takes of each, will link soon for those interested

Totally managed to get a hold of the new song from the Beneath the Massacre EP.
Sounds sick.
Black Tide (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH6Xa_-q4-o)

[Nferno]

@Cleric: I dig them both, recording quality has really improved since the last 2 songs you submitted.

Absence of one really shows your Tool influence. Not just the guitarwork, the singing style also bares a strong resemblance (minus the screamo ofcourse).

Good job dude, rocking out hard.

[Cleric]

Thanks bud. We're pretty chuffed at the improvement, but still a lot of work to do.

Binary Star - Reality Check (Masters of Reality) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__Z4jDgOFTA)

[pArkEr]

Listened to Idle Silence now Cleric. I liked it, definitely something I'd consider listening to. Especially enjoyed the guitar riff. Don't know if it's the recording, probably is, but your vocalist just doesn't sound powerful enough, and the rest of the instruments overpowers his voice throughout the song, I barely heard any of the lyrics.

Other than that... I'd buy.

[Azraphael]

Listening to Black Label Society again- ****ing awesome band. Currently listening to the albums Mafia, 1919 Eternal, Shot to Hell and Sonic Brew. I haven't listened to these guys in quite a while and oh-my-**** are they awesome. The solo on "No more Tears" is epicness made audible. Also digging "Lead me to your Door", "Fire it Up" and far too many others too mention. Zakk Wylde is a friggin legend of a guitarist.

[Machine]

Binary Star - Reality Check (Masters of Reality) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__Z4jDgOFTA)

These rhymes be ill, yo.

No seriously, I like it. Checked out some of the other tracks from that early album, pretty damn good. I love it old school, man. You got some good taste there. Just like AHAB, you got me into another unknown but excellent artist.

Props!

[.dB]

Cheers Machine.

Guahaihoque - The Return of the Ancient Gods

Some South American band I really got into two years back, forgot about and for some reason dug up again recently. I'd be lying if I said they don't have some flaws, but I still enjoy it. The harsher vocals sometimes come off like they went, "**** we're metal right? brb, stuffing in some brutal". That being said, I'm gay for really epic music, especially if the music is about ancient cultures and whatnot (Nile *** reporting for duty) and these guys really struck that chord for me. Not really heavy though, more of a folk feel to it (panflute for stylepoints).

Again, Joe Metalhead will probably give it a listen hear one of the calmer instrumental tracks and go "lolwut", but faults aside they've got awesome stuff. Anyone who's going to give them a go listen to the song "Elder Evocations" first, then give "Revelations" a spin thereafter - Should give you a good idea about the range of their music. Good ****.

EDIT: @Machine, idk how much Funeral Doom you jam, but if you don't know them check out Skepticism. Stormcrowfleet started playing just as I submitted the post so I figured I'd edit the recommendation for you or anyone else that enjoys funeral.

[Machine]

@.dB

It's funny that you mention Nile (I'm a mega fan). I always found AHAB to be like a super slow version of Nile in the case of sound (excluding the Egyptian theme of course).

Skepticism is pretty good, never heard of them before but then again I don't have much funeral doom or really look for it.

Guahaihoque is unique to say the least. Not bad but that damn panflute is annoying for me. Otherwise even if without the panflute parts it's still not my thing.


If you want something REALLY different check out some of the updates and bands listed on got-djent.com (http://got-djent.com)

Notable djent bands are:

Meshuggah
Periphery
Tesseract
Cloudkicker
The Safety Fire
Uneven Structure
Animals As Leaders
Chimp Spanner
Stealing Axion

Some of these bands have free albums / songs, be sure to check them out. I'm discovering decent new bands from here all the time but these few are bands I can REALLY recommend!!!

[.dB]

Periphery, Uneven Structure and Stealing Axion I know of and rate pretty high - Will check out the other's asap when I get back home. I've actually heard of Chimp Spanner, but not the music itself - Second time someone has reccomended I check it out though, so I'm pretty excited. And yeah, got that exact same vibe from Ahab. I actually picked up an actual copy of "Call of the Wretched Sea" not too long ago, feels good man.

Pretty much doom and sludge since I woke up.

Church of Misery - Houses of the Unholy
Acid Bath - Paegan Terrorism Tactics
Reverend Bizarre - II: Crush the Insects

Huge Acid Bath and Church of Misery fan, Reverend Bizarre is amazing as well, but the first two really gets a lot of love from me. I know I mention them a lot, but in my defense two of them have been doing a lot of new stuff. Houses of the Unholy was released last year and Reverend Bizarre has been putting out new material at a steady pace.

OMG.. that was epic!

[L0S]

I've been dwelling on a lot of Folk Metal and Viking Metal the last while.
So I started listening to In Extremo again and decided I might as well buy the albums I don'y have yet.
It was the best thing I could ever have done.

Its just insane how those guys make music. Not only do they have a lot of people for one band (even though it was at first two bands) and make such amazing music, but they make good smart music too.

At the moment I have gotten myself a nice big, or should I say huge collection of folk and viking metal. Truely love it, but I can't say I am all too happy with Finntrol, as I have to be very selective about which songs I listen to.

Will give a nice long list of bands soon for those who care to hear some.


On another note, I have some Texas In July now. Love it, even though its not August Burns Red, its still like an orgasm in my ear.

MY COMPLETE AND HONEST OPINION.


These dudes look like they're all under 16. Anyways this just shows how many bands don't know what the **** they're doing. Another deathcore band... wow, another bunch of twats who can sweep pick and make incoherent technical chromatic rubbish... and then come the over used breakdowns.

This "genre" if you would call it that, is nothing more than senseless crap for today's youth, much like numetal was for the 90's but even numetal had more soul than this trash and the many iterations like it (look at Suicide Silence or Bring Me the Horizon)

Now don't get me wrong, I like "technical metal". I listen to Necrophagist, The Faceless, Obscura, Nile, Decapitated, Cephalic Carnage and many more.

I'm simply putting my middle finger out to the "brootal kids"... Deal with it.

[KaosLord]

Deathcore is total generic,uninspired rubbish all the kiddies listen to
to seem hardcore.

Yeah, you can see they're young. Though in all fairness, being young in the music industry gives you time to mature and refine your sound. Better than a bunch of 40 year olds churning out **** with no room for improvement.

I'm quite fond of Deathcore/Death Metal, etc. and it's not because of the "hardcoreloooool" aspect of it. ****, if I wanted to be hardcore, I'd listen to Gangster rap, just like the cool kids do, but that's not what music is about. If it's appealing to you, you'd listen to it, right?

I guess this is where the same old discussion comes in regarding musicians and the imagery their music puts forward. To be honest, I don't see these kids as "omgbadass", more like a bunch of dudes making some solid music that I enjoy.

C'mon guy. Sure, there are plenty of **** bands that this genre has spat out, but trying to write them all off because of it is a bit ignorant.

People's taste in music vary and it's understandable you won't like what the next guy would like. Coming from Death Metal/Industrial Metal myself Deathcore seems like a good inbetweener, being a mixup of the two.

[sualk]

I'm listening to the new Sevendust album "Cold Day Memory".

I never get tired of this band and they keep getting better on each album.

I'm surprised I haven't been completely and utterly shot down by my strong and quite offensive retort to a deathcore band... and even more surprised that someone (KaosLord) agrees with me.

Just an example, there are plenty of bad or mediocre death metal bands BUT at least there's plenty of decent bands to balance out things (bands I mentioned in my previous post). PLEASE DO NOT MENTION DEATH METAL AND DEATHCORE IN THE SAME LIGHT, they are two VERY different genres although with similarities, why do you think I love the one and hate the other?


I have heard countless deathcore bands and found them all to be absoulte **** except for one (Despised Icon) but they're not exactly my cup of tea either, around 90% of deathcore bands are a pain to my ears.

Also, you know what "Here comes the Kraken" isn't even CLOSE to the worst thing I've heard. They loosely follow the deathcore trend, they're a little more technical and have less breakdowns at least.

Listening to Rammstein - Rosenrot

Rosenrot isn't a great album but it's hardly worthy of a flamestrike. There's a handful of very cool songs on it.

Although I don't listen to them anymore, there's nothing wrong with Rammstein in my book (I don't even know what genre they fall into anyway, they're quite unique in my opinion).

Has anyone ever seen a Rammstein live show? Seriously, if you get the chance check out a DVD or something. Their shows are insane. Like a Kiss show on steroids.

[onona]

Yeah I went to see Rammstein live last month. It was, without any shadow of a doubt, the best live show I have ever seen. It was even more over the top than the Kiss show I went to a few years back, and that's saying something. They were playing at a festival and totally blew away everyone else on the bill, including the perennially fantastic Iron Maiden.

If you're not lucky enough to attend one of their shows yourself, get the Volkerball DVD. It's fantastic.

Don't mean to start up something, but I never understood this line of thinking. Deathcore is derived from Death Metal. Saying you can't mention them together is like saying, hell I don't know, Fly Fishing should not be spoken about when talking about Deep Sea Fishing because they're, like, comepletley different.

In the end, it's just ****ing fishing.

Besides, Cannibal Corpse is Death Metal. Can you really say that it does not bare a strong resemblance to Deathcore? It's practically the same ****.

Been listening to megadeths new album and to be honest is by far the best new album out of metallica and slayer's new stuff.

Chris broderick is an amazing guitar player and dave is a fantastic song writer. Thrash to me is king. Love the rawness of it. Don't really like modern bands. Most of them are generic and kinda bugs me that they all sound the same. I yearn for thrash to come back:(

All my influence is from Kerry King,Jeff Hannerman and Dave.

Well, they are similar bands. They both have the djent style although Periphery is quite a bit more technical than Tesseract.

There are a load of bands out there that sound similar Periphery, Bulb's earlier work paved the way for the djent style to develop into what it is now. (Him and Meshuggah that is)

Labels and genres help us distinguish the various musical differences in the ever expanding ideas musicians are experimenting with and implementing. Since there are so many bands going in different directions it helps to give certain styles a name (that's my opinion at least).

Also, I don't like Cannibal Corpse, never have (and I disagree that they sound similar to deathcore groups)... It's so easy to judge me as a generic stereotypical metalhead isn't it?

I maintain to this day that Metallica wouldn't have had their whole "emotional" phase if they kept Mustaine in the band. I prefer his guitar playing to Kirk's. Actually, I dislike Kirk's guitar playing, as he doesn't really do anything particularly well. He's got a bit of a bluesy feel, but isn't really all that soulful, he's got some speed, but isn't really that fast, he's got some great ideas, but repeats them in every single lick and solo. He's a bit of a pratt IMO.

I'm actually rather addicted to a Megadeth song at the moment, A Tout Le Monde. It's a duet with the girl from Lacuna Coil. Some nice solid rock, and some awesome soloing as per usual.

No.
If you read their history,you will find that Mustaine was a huge prick
when he was with them.
That's the reason he was booted out.
They might have even broken up if they didn't pick up Kirk.

Kirk has a better personality.

At first listen I hated this album. The first two albums put such an unbelievably high standard that I guess a first listen made me think - wrongly- that this album sucked. Relistened to it last night, and all I can say is MY BROTHER I DO TESTIFY, THIS IS GOOD!

Their first album (The Torture Papers) is the best (Into The Arms of Angels and Battle Cry made that album), but on an overall factor, The Unholy Terror is their best work - failing in the fact that it has no standout songs (well as great as Into The Arms of Angels was, anyway. But I don't think they'll ever top that song.).

Celph Titled makes you laugh with almost every witty punchline and shows why he's my favourite rapper. Pity he wasn't used more.

I totally agree with this. Mustaine comes off as a massive prick - every interview I've ever read with him has put him in a very, very bad light. I don't blame his bandmates for not putting up with him - not to mention the fact that he was an alcoholic when he was with Metallica, and that was one of the main reasons he got the boot. You can't work with an alcoholic.

I don't like Megadeth at all. I saw them playing at Download Festival this year and they frankly sucked. Big time.

I know he was a prick, I've seen the Metallica VH1 special, same as every other self respecting fan. Still, the solos in Kill 'Em All are some of my favorite Metallica solos. They just exude... Balls. Big, manly balls. Which is what Metallica is supposed to be about. Personal preference and all that PC jazz, I know.

I know it's not in their style, but that doesn't stop it from being a really good song.

To be honest though, they were all alcoholics, he was just the biggest alcoholic. I'm not saying he's the nicest guy on the planet, he may be the biggest douchebag on the planet, but he's not a musical douchebag. The bassist from BfmV and the vocalist from Avenged Sevenfold are musical douchebags. Mustaine is a better guitarist than Hammet, and has a playing style much better suited to the overall sound of Metallica.

You have seen them live though, which weighs your opinion a bit heavier than ours.

EDIT: I don't know if that last sentence is grammatically correct, please correct it if it isn't.

[KaosLord]

Mustaine was with them on one album.
Kirk the rest.
Seems to me like Kirk has defined the sound.
How can Mustaine be better suited for Metallica when he wasn't even with them that long?


Mustaine is a better guitarist than Hammet,
This,good sir,is purely debatable.

Yeah, it's like people who go on and on about Paul Di'Anno, the original vocalist for Iron Maiden. There is a large group of people out there who lament his loss: he sang on two of their fifteen albums, and he frankly stank. Bruce Dickinson runs circles around him, and yet there are people who go on about how Dickinson has supposedly ruined the band? WTF?

I wouldn't necessarily say that's true at all. An opinion about music is subjective. Their live performance doesn't necessarily make them a bad band, I was just saying that they really sucked when I saw them - I should have specified that it was Mustaine in particular who sucked. He has ZERO charisma on stage, absolutely ZERO. I actually fell asleep during their set, that's how boring it was. And to fall asleep during a loud metal gig, well, the band has to be pretty ****e up on stage for that to happen. A couple of my friends had been looking forward to their set and were really disappointed by how dreadful the show was.

Sorry dude, did not mean to give you the impression that I was judging you.

I don't think of you as a stereotypical anything. I know that you love your metal and probably have a better understanding about this particular type of music than most people, which is why I tried to engage you in a discussion about it, not start an argument.

When people learn to distinguish between constructive discussion and needless arguments, then these forums will flourish. At the moment, everyone is so wrapped up in themselves, throwing out preemptive negative comments to avoid conflict, when it is in fact causing them. I find this pretty lolworthy.

[Dead!Raven]

I've been getting really heavy into the Agonist's first album Only Once Imagined. THe songs that really stand out to me are Buisness Suits and Combat boots http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZo4bOZf3B4 and Serendipity. I really like the politically based lyrics which is extremely rare in Death Based Genres, especially death core. It's really a breath of fresh air you know? The same old " Look we're soo ****ing brutal! BREE BREE BREE " Get tiresome extremely fast.

On a separate note, I absolutely ****ing ADORE The New Murderdolls album Women and Children last. I've been a fan since the first album in 2002 and have been anticipating this album for so long. Totally lived up to my expectations. I love the tongue in cheek approach this band has. On the musical side, they keep it simple, but not so much that it becomes monotonous. Don't get me wrong. It's not an album for everyone. If you like your music meaningful and extremely technical, I wouldn't pick this up. If on the other hand you enjoy the Good old Fashion "sold my soul for rock and roll" feeling of the glam metal scene, Do not miss this one. :)

I'm pretty sure that The Agonist is a Metalcore band with a very small dose of black metal in their first album. Note, a very small dose.
BNR Metal pages also seems to agree that its Metal core.

I'm guessing that you are really happy I told you about them Dead!Raven.

On another note: I have been getting some Opeth and have really fallen in love with their music, since I never really listened to them when I was younger.

Yes L0S I love you for it :P. If your just getting into opeth, I suggest getting watershed and Blackwater Park. those are my favorite albums of theirs, although opeth are just generally amazing, so if you can get the cash, you should pick up all their stuff :

I already bought all the albums! Love them so damn much man!
Opeth has such amazing and tight music that I would sleep with it.

Also, while we are on the subject of The Agonist. You should listen to the song "Memento Mori".
Its one of the better ones I think.

Dude, the whole first album is just fantastic.

[sualk]

Opeth's "Blackwater Park" is my favourite album by them to date.

All I have to say is "The Leper Affinity".The piano work at the end of that song sends chills down my spine every time I listen to it.

I also get the image in my head of the piano being played in a mansion overlooking the sea.Don't ask me why? lol

I love their music.

[Cleric]

While I love Blackwater Park, Ghost Reveries remains my favourite. Yes, I know it's the most commercial/accessible of the lot, but every track is solid gold.

[L0S]

I have to agree with Sualk on this one. Blackwater Park, is my favourite so far, although I enjoy Dirge For November the most.

Either way, Opeth = great music.

[sualk]

@ LOS - Dirge For November is on par with The Leper Affinity .

Both songs are quality tracks.

Their endings can't be matched \m/

[Domanskip]

Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

Seriously, one of the greatest albums of all time. The more you listen to it, the better it gets. Please do yourself a favour and get this.

Also listening to loads of Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead and Tool.

[L0S]

After searching and scavenging around my house for hours, I came upon something that had not graced my ears for a time that can only be called, too long. I have found my lovely Bathory collection.
I just can not get enough of it. Best song so far I would have to say is Vinland and Flash Of The Silverhammer.

[TheLionsInnards]

Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

Seriously, one of the greatest albums of all time. The more you listen to it, the better it gets. Please do yourself a favour and get this.



Wait, other people know about these guys? Awesome! For extra bonus points, try to make sense of some of the songs, especialy in light of the Anne Frank theme that runs through the album. "Semen stains the mountaintops" indeed.


I've taken some tentative steps out of the obscure indie cupboard and got myself the first MGMT album, and some Florence and the Machine. Florence kicks all kinds of ass, she's much, much darker and more vicious than I was expecting.

Most of my listening time has been occupied by MGMT though. Some very cool dancey tracks there, but the songs that start to show off their Bowie and Super Furry Animals influences are fast becoming some of my favourite songs ever.

[Mr_krinkle]

I am listening to Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains,The Great eyeball in the sky.

Awesome awesome album. Love the song Thai Noodles. This album makes me smile and on top of that les and bucket head do amazing things with there instruments. And there timing is so strange.

[Cpt.Monde]

Been listen to the new Disturbed album, Asylum, and I'm loving it. Absolutely lovin' it. It's better than Indestructible IMO. Oh yeah, am I the only one that thinks the intro to ''The Infection'' sounds a lot like ''Decadence''?

Also got Lead Sails Paper Anchor by Atreyu recently and I'm diggin' it.

[McDangerous]

Atreyu was one of the first "metal" bands I listened to actually. They were my transition from Punk and Rock to metal. Right Side of the Bed was the song I heard that got me into them. They'd be a really decent band if they just wrote some good lyrics. I really don't care for "She left me, know I'm going to go down a bottle of Jack with my buddies" type lyrics at all. OK-ish guitaring, and the clean vocalist/drummer has a good voice, but other that that, they've fallen by the way side in comparison to all the other bands I've listened to know.

BTW, if that isn't the proper way to use the expression "fallen by the way side" then please correct me. We only improve by making mistakes and learning from them.

[sualk]

I'm listening to Pantera's "Cowboys From Hell" album.

Only if bands could play like this.

Pantera was tight with their playing.

[Signor 65]

I've been listening to craploads of Opeth. Really enjoying The Grand Conjuration, especially when it slows down and those bass drums are thumping in the background. It just soothes me totally, then kicks me in the face and gets me going again!

Also, We Butter The Bread With Butter. Very strange German band, but I'm just enjoying their music so much at the moment.

An example of their strangeness. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2xZMcI3yyc)

[ioiiooio]

Atmosphere has recently released "To All My Friends, Blood Makes the Blade Holy: The Atmosphere EP's", which you can pick up at iTunes or Amazon.

Also currently listening to RZA as Bobby D: DigiSnacks. I just love RZA. Got "Can't Stop Me Now" stuck in my head.

Also, Roots Manuva: Slime and Reason. I thought it was a good idea playing "Again and Again"... umm... again and again, full-blast, when I was ****-faced at 2am and everyone else had already crashed. It was a ****ing great idea. It's honestly the best time to listen to his stuff. ****, just thinking about it makes me want to get ****ed so I can do it all over again.

[Nferno]

Listening to Dead to Fall (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_to_Fall) for nostalgia's sake. The band is no longer together and if you can find one of their CDs it's worth holding on to.

I only have one album called Everything I Touch Falls to Pieces which my cousin brought me from Canada, so if anybody knows of a place selling more Dead to Fall albums, drop me a PM because I'd like to get hold of most, if not, all of their work.

Must admit though, to draw with Dinosaur Jr going in the background is an absolute pleasure.

Ummm... God Is An Astronaut, Devil Sold His Soul, This Will Destroy You and some ambient stuffs. Post-rock is ftw at night, peaceful music.

Juggalos. If ever there was a dead evolutionary branch, that's it.

I'm listening to Them Crooked Vultures right now. Homme writes the weird and awesome tunes - Grohl smacks the **** out of the drums. If any of you guys enjoyed the first Queens Of The Stone Age (Songs For The Deaf) you should get this.

Also: Learn Your Mother****in' Science With ICP (http://www.cracked.com/blog/learn-your-mother****in-science-with-the-icp/)

[Cleric]

90% sure that Songs for the Deaf wasn't the first QOTSA album. But is was awesome indeed, so thanks for the heads-up. Will definitely hunt down some Them Crooked Vultures.

[nukehead]

Them Crooked Vultures are awesome... if you like the dirty rock try some Eagles of Death Metal... Homme again, just hitting the skins this time.

[Cleric]

90% sure that Songs for the Deaf wasn't the first QOTSA album. But is was awesome indeed, so thanks for the heads-up. Will definitely hunt down some Them Crooked Vultures.

In fact, it was their 3rd, after Self-titled and Rated R

[Squirly]

OH MY GOD I HAVE TO GET SOME MORE ALBUMS!


Thanks Cleric. Songs For The Deaf is the one where I took notice. Mostly because of Grohl, I guess.

And I'll throw my hat in the ring for The Eagles Of Death Metal as well. **** Goddamn.

[Cleric]

Don't really bother with the previous stuff though. Songs For The Deaf certainly is their best. I love prettymuch every track on that album.

[nukehead]

Yeah, Songs for the Deaf is definitely a classy album (read Best), although Era Vulgaris is up there. All three Eagles of Death Metal are win but Heart On is my favourite ;)

[Shadowrend]

QOTSA have been awesome since the beginning of time, imo. Songs For The Deaf was just their shine-through point with 'Go With The Flow'. Been an avid QOTSA listener for 2 years, cannot wait until the next album, they get weirder every time, GOTTA LOVE IT!

Them Crooked Vultures are also epic, yes - Homme is a pro lyricist. Hoping they will go the distance and won't just become another side-project to die out after one LP.

If anybody is interested in more dirty-sounding stuff - download the Cage The Elephant self-title (they sing the Borderlands theme song, but the LP is mucking afazing, lemme tell you). Also, Beta Satan are this new-ish Danish band, they are also pretty sex.

[Cleric]

I would say that Go With The Flow is far from their strongest track on that album. For me, Songs for the Dead, Do it again, and especially God is in the radio outshine it by far on the record.

But yeah, all great tracks, from a great band. Been listening for a LOOOOOOOONG time.

Go With The Flow is my ringtone. :D

It's not the BEST track, but it's the one that got the most exposure because of the kick-ass video that was made for it, so... And also, 'First It Giveth' is epic!

ALSO, I thought Lullabies To Paralyze was a great album - why has nobody mentioned it :?

[Azraphael]

If anybody is interested in more dirty-sounding stuff - download the Cage The Elephant self-title (they sing the Borderlands theme song, but the LP is mucking afazing, lemme tell you). Also, Beta Satan are this new-ish Danish band, they are also pretty sex.

Cage The Elephant is more Rock-a-billy if you ask me. If you like their stuff, check out a local band called Them Tornado's. Awesome band to watch live, they really get the crowd going.

Also out of Denmark, check out Volbeat. **** these guys are awesome.

Lullabies is a cool album but not as consistently great as Songs For the Deaf. There are some cool ones on there though - Medication, Little Sister, I Never Came and my favourite Broken Box.

[nukehead]

ALSO, I thought Lullabies To Paralyze was a great album - why has nobody mentioned it :?

I don't know, Lullabies just never snagged me, I start it up and then I forget that its playing. Songs sat in my car for months over and over, never got tired of it. Although the disc got tired of me which only just surpasses Offspring Smash as most played, that cassette was so warped by the end.

It's all about the 70's at the moment. Busy getting some music together for my own 70's compilation album partly due to my unhealthy addiction to That 70's Show. Songs include:

Layla - Derek and the Dominos (this is so gonna be my new ringtone)
The Joker - The Steve Miller Band (Cause Steven Hyde is the real Space Cowboy)
Love Hurts- Nazareth (Yeah, it'd depro, but it's also a brilliant tune)
American Pie - Don McLean (Sing-a-long classic)
Stayin' Alive - The Bee Gees (You can't have the 70's without the Bee Gees, can you?)
More Than a Feeling – Boston (Reminds me of that awesome Castle add from a few years back)
Lola - The Kinks (Recently found out what this song is really about, laughed my ass off)
Paranoid - Black Sabbath (Ozzy in his prime, magnificent tune)
(Don't Fear) The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult (The lovely dark tune)

Damn, the seventies had some awesome songs. If you know any essential 70's songs that you think I might have missed, please speak up.

At the last minute, I found out they were playing here this week so I went to see them, and they put on an incredible show too.

Papa Roach is old school? That's so cute, I could pinch your cheeks. :p

To be less patronising.

Finally got around to getting Jack Parow and the re-release of Die Antwoord's $O$. Indulging my inner rock spider. ;) Seriously cool stuff, but it blows me away that:

1) Die Antwoord is pretty big in North America. Seriously, they are so typically South African I struggle to believe that Americans find anything to relate to.
2) That I'm going to miss them performing again.

[spjt07]

Right now what I am listening to is the loud whir a computer makes, I think the hdd is about to pack up on one of the computers in this shop.

My theory is purely because of the Youtube video... other 'stars' from Youtube? Justin Bieber.

I rest my case.

[Boggle24]

Zeff is just a big thing these days.

I think a lot of people find them more amusing than actually good, like Jack Parrow, it's just funny as all hell to experience how immensely tapid it all is, the look, the lyrics, everything.

personally I liked some of Max Normal's stuff, but Die Antwoord not so much.

Still listening to a lot of Noisia, but also some Mumford and sons and Kings of leon (Mumford especially remind me a lot of Noah and the whale)

glitch mob is pretty cool too.
I can't wait to get my hands on the new Daft Punk at some point, but I'm expecting more of a OST than an album, but hopefully some sweet beats in between the usual orchestra type stuff, unless it's all gonna be awesome electronica, the movie would seem hyper tempo though :P

[Gnarkill.]

Edit*
Didn't see Boggle's post but he's right on the money.

I think it's because being zef is cool now and apparently listening to zef music like Die Antwoord and Jack Parrow fits right into that lifestyle.:S

I recently heard Die Antwoord for the first time, and I have to say that honestly I cannot for the life of me see what people like about them. I think they're one of the most dreadful bands I've ever heard in my entire life :/

I'm not too sure what to make of them myself. I wouldn't say they're dreadful, but they definitely are weird. They're almost more performance art than band, that's actually why I want to see them live so badly.

A guy I know in Canada saw them a couple of months ago, his review was 'It was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen.' Listening to the music alone it feels like half of it is missing.

I do find it curious that of all Waddy's work this was the breakthrough.

Boggle, I haven't heard it myself yet but a lot of guys I know into electronica are loving the Tron OST. I think it's a safe bet. It was $4 on Amazon music the other day, pity we can't buy through them. Fascists.

Die Antwoord seems like they're trying to hard. Music should just come naturally to you. It shouldn't be forced.

[MrDeVil_909]

If people didn't force things musically we would still be banging sticks together and singing in plainchant.

Recently got into Rage Against the Machine after finding my Battle of Los Angeles CD in the depths of my car.

The movie ran through me
The glamour subdued me
The tabloid untied me
I'm empty please fill me
Mister anchor assure me
That Baghdad is burning
Your voice it is so soothing
That cunning mantra of killing
I need you my witness
To dress this up so bloodless
To numb me and purge me now
Of thoughts of blaming you
Yes the car is our wheelchair
My witness your coughing
Oily silence mocks the legless boys
Who travel now in coffins
On the corner
The jury's sleepless
We found your weakness
And it's right outside your door

Now testify
Now testify
It's right outside your door
Now testify
Yes testify
Its right outside your door

With precision you feed me
My witness I'm hungry
Your temple it calms me
So I can carry on
My slaving sweating the skin right off my bones
On a bed of fire I'm choking on the smoke that fills my home
The wrecking ball is rushing
Witness your blushing
The pipeline is gushing
While here we lie in tombs
While on the corner
The jury's sleepless
We found your weakness
And it's right outside your door

Now testify
Yeah testify
It's right outside your door
Now testify
Now testify
It's right outside your door

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set

Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now controls the past
Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now?

Now testify
Testify
It's right outside your door
Now testify
Testify
It's right outside your door

Seriously, love these guys. Their message, their rhythm, everything is perfect.

God, I feel like it's the 1999 all over again.

[MrDeVil_909]

Yeah, Rage still makes me want to burn police cars. Testify is a favourite too.

Love the Bill Hicks avatar, BTW.

Got my hands on some of Korn's older albums. I've only listened to Follow the Leader so far but I like it more than the untitled album.

Other than that, I've been listening to some Arch Enemy (Doomsday Machine and Black Earth) and DevilDriver. I absolutely love "Clouds Over California" and "I Could Care Less".

Also got Brave New World (Iron Maiden [One of my favourite bands EV3R!]) quite a while back and I'm absolutely lovin' it. In my opinion, it's nowhere near as good as Powerslave and Number of the Beast but, honestly, I don't think any of their albums can match those two (Dance of Death came pretty close from what I've heard).

Any suggestions on which Iron Maiden album I should get next?

[Griff3n]

I cant stop listening to Pray Tell by Anberlin... just blows my mind.

Any suggestions on which Iron Maiden album I should get next?

1.) DevilDriver are fantastic. They are releasing their new album early next year, Beast.

2.) My favorite maiden album has to be a Matter of Life and Death. The Final Frontier is also a good album, but i personally much prefer Life and Death.
