New Cryptopsy

Josh F. — Wed, 14 May 2008 10:05:57 GMT

I have listened to a promo of the new Cryptopsy album. They got rid of Lord Worm.. again. I've never been a fan of Lord Worm, but the new vocalist is like the epitome of generic for the current metal scene. They went from super crazy technical to mediocre deathcore with their new stuff. There are even some clean singing parts... Yeah, on a Cryptopsy album. Pretty sure this one is gonna spark up some serious backlash.

franki3love — Tue, 13 May 2008 06:58:20 GMT

I am not sure if many have you have heard of the band but i advise that you should definitely check it out. Like most bads from Glendale, Arizona, they are a death metal band that recently finished recording[April 10th] their Ferret debut with mixing handled by Andreas Magnusson (The Black Dahlia Murder) and mastering from Alan Douches of West West Side Music. The effort, titled "Shades," will hit stores on June 24th. In the mean time, [url=http://www.myspace.com/knightsoftheabyss]listen to a song from the album on the bands MySpace page[/url]

Singer Mike Manheimer comments on their deal with Ferret: "We are very excited for what is to come and couldn’t be happier about working with a label such as Ferret that is always growing from integrity and hard work; not to mention an amazing track record."

GIGAN - tour & CD

crude johnson — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 07:02:52 GMT

You have to hear the CD on headphones - and see them live when they come to your town - they are raw, fast, and know who they are and where they are going - anyone else see them or here the CD?? Picking up tunes off myspace is just not the same - experience them live

Suffocation

9er — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 12:45:51 GMT

I say yes. Suffocation is amazing and always releases top-shelf death metal.

Who else loves this band? I can think of one member for sure.

Any fans? I dig them quite a bit. I like the mid-paced style and groove this band has.

Hypocrisy re-recording Catch 22

Josh F. — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 12:51:03 GMT

From Hypocrisy's website:
As you've probably heard, we´re remixing and redoing the vocals on Catch 22 and rereleasing it. Why?! Becouse we still think it is a great fucking album but it got slammed and misunderstood becouse of the vocal style and the drumsound and so on.

I've got mixed feelings about this. While Catch 22 isn't my favorite Hypocrisy album, it's far from terrible and it adds another dimension to their discography. It's definitely different than their other stuff. It was the only album they did with anywhere near that much clean vocals, and I think that basically says enough. They got the hint that most fans want heavier albums. Virus (which came after Catch 22) is one of their best and most devastating, so it's not like Catch 22 was a career killer. I don't think that they need to go so far as to re-release it just because it was "slammed and misunderstood."

Personally, I'd rather they took the time to re-record their first couple of albums with better production.

Then again, I will have to hear what changes are made before I fully make up my mind.

Revisting "Icons of Evil"

9er — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 11:02:50 GMT

So I started listening to Vital Remains' Icons of Evil lately. Honestly, the album isn't that good. Aside from the moments of melody and acoustics, every song is exactly the same: a wall of blast beats with choppy guttural vocals.

Anyone one else agree?

[img]http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k17/vadimvon/1aaaliberinfernumsmall.jpg[/img]

The levels of the Indivisible Universe have two main frequencies.
One is the Light.
The other is Hell.
And man is the Embodyment of the Universe.

Essence and matter are indivisible in the primordial seas of Khaos,
yet are divided inside the Universe.
They form the energies which transit into each other in violation of the Universal rules,
creating different types of reason.

Matter is the reality inside the Universe,
so are Time and Space.
Dissolution of the matter is what sets the Spirit free of kosmic recurrence,
disintegration of the Spirit is what strengthens the Matter and diminishes Reason.

Disintegration of the Universe comes through the Matter and Reason by the work of Hell,
the distant primordial past of the Light.

Many spirits fell in opposition to the Light.
Many creatures and bestial races.

Those who cut through the Universe by their own will
are on the true path of aspiration
into the depths of primordial Khaos.
May they find their strength while crushing the Light's resistance to the victory of Hell.

They had descended into the Abyssus,
into the realm of the Infinite Primordial Creation.
They are the creators of unity in Hell,
to be regarded within the Universe as the Angels of Khaos.

Death by Decibels

Paths of Possession

9er — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 19:46:04 GMT

Paths of Possession is a rather standard melodeath band with Cannibal Corpse's Corpsegrinder on vocals. It's not too bad and Corpsegrinder fits rather nicely.

Anyone familiar with the band?

Monstrosity

9er — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 10:21:08 GMT

Wow, the last two Monstrosity albums have smoked. Rise to Power and now Spiritual Apocolypse. SA is amazing and one hell of a turn-around after 50% of the band left.

Any fans? I know most people know of this band because of George Fischer (Cannibal Corpse).

Impaled

9er — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 16:26:28 GMT

Who is a fan of this goregrind band? Honestly, all of their stuff is top notch. I really didn't care all that much for Death After Life, but their newest, The Last Gasp, is back on track.

DECAPITATED Drummer Dead At 23

The Iron Maiden — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 06:29:20 GMT

What an incredible tragedy. I heard about the accident several days ago but didn't expect this. From Blabbermouth this morning:

Drummer Witold "Vitek" Kieltyka of the Polish extreme metal band DECAPITATED passed away in a Russian hospital from injuries sustained in a recent road collision. He was 23 years old.

Vitek and DECAPITATED singer Covan (real name: Adrian Kowanek) were hurt in an accident earlier in the week involving DECAPITATED's tour bus and a truck carrying wood in Gomel, on the Russia/Belarus border. Both musicians reportedly sustained serious head injuries in the collision, which is believed to have been the fault of the band's driver (although this has not yet been officially confirmed).

According to the Polish Internet portal Onet.pl, Vitek underwent trepanation, a form of surgery in which a hole is drilled or scraped into the skull, and was due to be transported to a hospital in Krakow, Poland for further treatment.

Covan's family released a statement yesterday (Thursday, November 1) that the vocalist's condition had improved. At the time, the vocalist was still said to be at a hospital in Novozybkov, Russia, where he and Vitek were taken following the accident.

Check out photos of DECAPITATED taken on their tour of Russia (courtesy of Darkside):

Deicide-best release?

aussieheadbanger — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 19:13:26 GMT

I have only heard Scars of the crucifix by Deicide.

What other cd's have they released that are worthy of reccomendation as i would like to expand my Deicide collection.

Obituary

9er — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 18:44:24 GMT

I just picked this up today. I'm a huge Obie fan and with Ralph Santolla now in the band, I had to hear this.

The verdict isn't in yet, but it's pretty good and doomy.

Gorefest

9er — Sat, 16 Jun 2007 23:23:33 GMT

Gorefest is awesome. "False" and "Erase" have to be overlooked death metal gems. Even their non-death albums "Soul Survivor" and "Chapter 13" own.

Anyone else a fan? I love "La Muerte" and am really looking forward to the upcoming "Rise to Ruin."

which band is better?

evilmonkeycake — Tue, 14 Feb 2006 06:08:43 GMT

A. Cradle of Filth

B. Dimmu Borgir

c. Blood has been shed

d. Deathdestruction

e.Demonhunter

f. Susperia

Malevolent Creation

9er — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 07:37:29 GMT

MC is one of my all-time favorite DM bands. I can't wait for Doomsday X! Eternal is probably my favorite CD from them.

Possessed

Jeremy — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 10:17:12 GMT

I'm hoping to see them (well, Sadistic Intent with Jeff Becerra anyway) in late November. It may not be a real reunion, but for someone my age who could have never seen the earlier incarnations of the band, and has been listening to their music for a few years already, this is a very exciting opportunity (providing I am in town for the show, of course).

Anyone else here a fan of one of death metal's earliest progenitors?

Vengeful review in Metal Maniacs

Richter — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 16:17:39 GMT

Vengeful - Karma

Being marketed as a death metal band from Quebec that draws from the Immolation, Nile, Gorguts and Cryptopsy well of influence didn’t exactly have me running with any amount of baited breath towards the ol’ Sony with Vengeful’s debut album in hand. Being a DM band from Quebec these days is on par with being black and from Africa. Also, Immolation and Nile have new releases available this year (go to Vengeful’s website and they’re gushing in anticipation over Ithyphallic as much as they are Karma!) and former members of Gorguts have returned and are blowing minds with Negativa; really, do we need yet another fucking band rehashing the same riffs, triggering their kick drums and ultimately adding nothing to the game?! Hell no! But thankfully Vengeful has taken a few steps and at least attempted to distinguish themselves from most of their contemporaries at home and abroad. They didn’t do this by adding anything from way out of left field to their decidedly brutal sound, but at the same time, Karma doesn’t come across like a rote regurgitation of death metal standards. Included in the mix is a filthy grindcore element along the lines of Nasum, Pig Destroyer’s groove, Brutal Truth influenced guitar work and the occasional off-kilter rhythm à la Leng Tch’e. The 10-minute epic, “Counterfeit Deity”, kicks off sounding like Possesed before slowly stripping layers and concluding as an aching, throbbing near-doom/sludge scrapheap. Black metal riffs and vocal screeching abound in “Burial (Parts 1 and 2),” “Sentenced” is a kick-ass tune that sounds like pre-Kevin Sharp Brutal Truth and the album’s outro recalls a tribal-ish, Sepultura workout. The production quality swings and sways between low-end, muddy sludge and tin-sheet thin black metal with drummer Jean-Sébastien Gagnon’s slippery style combining Pete Sandoval’s rapid-fire attack and D-beat pounding and chameleon-like vocalist Marc-André Grenier going from vomiting grizzly bear to a buzzsaw banshee and back quite regularly. Brass Tacks: There’s enough injected into Karma to keep the listener on their toes and discover new elements with each listen and aren’t those the sorts of records that are always the ones with the most staying power? – Kevin Stewart-Panko

Pestilence

The Iron Maiden — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 09:25:39 GMT

I'm becoming obsessed with this band! I found a used copy of Spheres in a local store several months ago and I dug it quite a bit. A while later, I came across the Roadrunner 2-for-1 set of Consuming Impulse and Testimony of the Ancients, so I picked that up too. That's where my obsession started.

While Spheres is more spacey and experimental (think of a mixture between Cynic and later-era Death), CI & TotA are more straight-up, classic death metal. TotA is my favorite thus far, and Terrorizer described it as having a cinematic feel to it, which I agree with. It's like a death metal zombie movie score. I love it. Reading about them just now, I discovered that Tony Choy played bass on TotA, which is crazy...I just saw him with Atheist last week. He was also in Cynic.

Aside from a couple of demos, Malleus Maleficarum was their first official album, which I haven't heard yet. I'm guessing I'll dig it. There was also a "best of" release from '94 and a live album released in '06. I'm missing those too.

So...anyone else into these guys? They're definitely worth checking out if you're into Death, Atheist and Cynic.

Death (the band) appreciation thread

voodoo — Fri, 28 Oct 2005 04:46:28 GMT

For a long time the only metal bands I listened to utilized too much hairspray. I stil listen to those bands once in a while, but I soon venutered into the Metallica/Megadeth/ Suicidal Tendencies area, and I never strayed too far from those 3, except maybe Ozzy/Black Sabbath. Then, after a few years and countless hours listening to Rust in Peace I found my way to power and prog metal, namely Dream Theater. Then I happened to meet a guy at work who was very much addicted to much heavier and aggressive music, which he introduced me to. Bands like Slayer, Overkill and Testament, and then Arch Enemy and a few others. But now I am listening to The Sound of Perserverance by Death and I am floored. I had heard it before but never really paid too much attention. I am sorry it took me so long to figure it out. All hail Chick Schuldiner. The man gave the world some fantastic music. Sad that he is gone, now. This stuff is incredible.

Anyone else want to jump in while I pick my jaw up off the floor and wipe the drool from my face?

Skinless

9er — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 19:45:30 GMT

Dismember

9er — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 16:45:09 GMT

Perhaps my favorite Swedish DM band. I love their guitar sound. Anyone else dig these guys? It's a bummer Estby quit, but I really look forward to their next CD.

Athiest

9er — Thu, 31 May 2007 20:35:34 GMT

I just got a hold of some Athiest. Piece of Time and Unquestionalbe Presence are awesome. Elements is a bit much. But as far as tech DM goes, I don't mind this... It's very subtle and classy.

Vomitory - Terrorize Brutalize Sodomize

9er — Mon, 07 May 2007 04:58:06 GMT

I picked up Vomitory's TBS last week. I must say I am taken aback. It's their first in 4 years and after the somewhat substandard Primal Massacre, it's a welcome return to form.

Really thick production, major brutality and even melody!!! Anyone else heard this?

Summer Slaughter Tour

The Iron Maiden — Tue, 22 May 2007 12:03:36 GMT

Anyone else going to this? I'd really like to see Decapitated and Cephalic Carnage again. And I want to see Necrophagist for the first time; I missed them the last time they came through.

From Wikipedia:

The Summer Slaughter Tour is a heavy metal concert tour that is taking place in the summer of 2007.

Necrophagist

It is believed that Necrophagist will be playing Epitaph in its entireity for the tour.
