Godflesh- Streetcleaner (live, shite quality)


Entombed- Bitter Loss


Bolt Thrower-  Cenotaph


Mayhem-  Deathcrush (not as good as the old Dead/Euronymous set up)

[Houdini]

The Sword are very Sabbath, aren't they?

[GCW]

Immortal-  Blashyrk (Mighty Ravendark)


Burzum-  War (Varg at his best)

[Houdini]

I really did like some of the Goldflesh stuff (and the OLD LP too) though I turned off when I read of Justin Broadrick glassing someone in the face.  He was always going on about his pot habit (which by all accounts was monstrous) which was probably responsible for his paranoiac violence.  But for a while they were good were Godfles

Anyone ever dig Cathedral?  I didn't.

[GCW]

Compare and Contrast:

Cathedral- Voodoo Fire


Napalm Death- Bill Steer and Lee Dorrian combo (I think it's Multinational Corporations/Instinct for Survival/ The Kill, but Houds will correct me)


Lee Dorrian, eh?  Napalm-----> Cathedral
Bill Steer:  Napalm/Carcass.  Awesome

No, I don't "dig" Cathedral, Houd.  They are as heavy as a helium filled turd.

Taken from Roadrunner.  Shit me  :

Reactivated British extreme legends CARCASS have been confirmed for next year's installment of the Wacken Open Air festival, set to take place July 31 - August 2, 2008 in Wacken, Germany. Also scheduled to appear are IRON MAIDEN (headliners), CHILDREN OF BODOM, AVANTASIA, KREATOR and SONATA ARCTICA.

Commented CARCASS bassist/vocalist Jeff Walker: "Well, they said it would never happen. In fact I said it would never happen. Then I noticed no one pays attention to what I say anyway and I sounded like an idiot...

"Summer 2008 will be the twentieth anniversary since the release of CARCASS' first studio album. It will be fourteen years since we last played live.

"We've decided to exhume the old corpse next summer at Wacken. The timing is purely coincidental — it's been a long journey to get to this point where myself, Bill Steer [guitar] and Mike Amott [guitar; also of ARCH ENEMY] have enough common desire again to make it possible. We're finally conceding to the demand that seems to be at an all time high and doesn't appear to be going away any time soon. Any past reasons we may have had for not wanting to do it, or thinking it was impossible, have simply dissipated in the face of overwhelming interest in us performing THOSE riffs for a generation of believers who never had the opportunity back in the day. We could say we're doing it for 'the kids' — but fuck that ! We're doing it 'cos it will be fun again to play the classic CARCASS tunes!!

"Of course, it would seem inappropriate for us to contemplate to do this without Ken Owen [drums], but I assure you he'll be there, and we'll push some sticks in his hands and make him play, plus we'll have a killer drummer to sit in and play HIS parts.

"Myself, Jeff Walker on bass and vocals, 'the semi-legendary' Bill Steer and Mike Amott on lead guitar and Daniel Erlandsson [ARCH ENEMY], filling in for Ken on drums look forwards to mutilating your hearing.

"And if we don't do it? Who else will overshadow the LED ZEPPELIN reunion?

"Ha!

"Prepare to rot and roll."

In a recent interview with MTV.com, Michael Amott stated about the possibility of CARCASS reunion, "It seems like it never goes away — like this ghost that's always hanging over me. It's nice. It's a pleasant ghost, because [CARCASS are] a band I'm proud of, because it was one of the better bands to come out of that style of music at that time. The band itself seems bigger now than when we packed it in [back in 1995]. I can't believe it."

"With [CARCASS], you have four people who have all moved on and do different things now," he said. "For the last few years, I've been quite open about [my desire to reunite CARCASS]. ... It's not a question of, 'Do I want to play this kind of music?,' because I still totally love metal. I would love to do it."

The ex-members of CARCASS hooked up in 2006 to rehearse (as first reported by BLABBERMOUTH.NET on September 18) for the first time in many years.

"We thought, 'Let's just try to get our schedules together, jam a little bit, and see if it's even feasible,' " Amott said. "The question always comes up in interviews, and we kind of all became intrigued ourselves, if it would actually work. So we met up, rehearsed for about a week, and by the end of the week, it sounded amazing."

He added, "The band wouldn't set out to write or record new material, because "the old stuff was just that good. It would just be a blast to go out and play those — dare I say it — classic tunes again, those riffs. It would be fun. Bill's guitar playing was amazing — he was one of my heroes before I joined the band. So yeah, I would love to do it again. I love that band, love the music. We'll see — maybe it would shut people up. Let's hope the CARCASS can come back."

Just the one entry to add this from the marvelous Digital Hardcore to add to the list - the band who hold the bluebrad award for loudest and most violent gig I have ever been to - Atari Teenage Riot



I just have to include this second clip which features a good old pagga just for added goodness:



Should also offer an honourable mention to Alec Empire (lead singer of ATR) but he is a bit too similar to ATR to bother linking.

DP - please ignore or delete

[Sloper]

I think it would be hard to ignore a DP

ANyway, Nu metal what 

Bring on some real metal.  What about Smell the Glove?  Now that's what I call music.

[Graeme78]

Smell the glove

Has anyone mentioned Iron Monkey, the grindcore act not the martial arts movie.
Fine, fine band, shame they only lasted 2 and a half albums. Still they managed to get a greatest hits and rarities album out of it.

[GCW]

Another I have neglected were Pitch Shifter.  Some of their earlier stuff is good.  Same sort of thing with Korn too.
Did I mention Darkthrone earlier?  Panzerfaust is a masterpiece.  As is Emperor's In The Nightside Eclipse.
And the Nefilim's Zoon is quite enjoyable to, but I always  liked McCoy anyway.

[andy_e]

Converge - Concubine



Fuck yeah.

Meshuggah - In death is life/in death is death



That's better 

[chappers]

The Sword are very Sabbath, aren't they?

that is why they are so fucking good.

i am very into alabama thunder pussy at the moment. very good.

[chappers]

Meshuggah - In death is life/in death is death

[Stubbs]

Gorgoroth - Incipit Satan


Just to get off the extreme end of things
And Justice For All


QOTSA Go With The Flow

[andy_e]

Yeah, I was gutted too.

Does anyone have the Darkest Hour album that was released last summer?

[GCW]

Just to complete the Gods of Grind Quartet:

Confessor-  Condemned


I never really liked Confessor or Cathedral.  Carcass I adore, and Entombed I love the earlier stuff.


The Fresh Prince-  Gargling with infected Semen



Obituary-  Don't Care    I fucking love John Tardy's vocals



Deicide-  Once Upon The Cross  (Christ Denied is by far their best song, but I can't find it on the tube)

[GCW]

The Nefilim-  Penetration

[Houdini]

Please can a moderator remove the ffff-funky bit from the title of this thread so I can tell the difference between this and the other music thread when I see a new post on the front page?

Danke.

I'll put my nose back to the grindstone later GCW.

[GCW]

So you can't tell the difference?  Apologies for assuming you had some intelligence.
I'm not sure we've had any Mods poking about inthis metal thread yet? 

I second Houd's suggestion.  I was clearly a fool 

[Houdini]

Stubbs.


Metallica - perhaps they started it all?  That chug chug riffism they pioneered, is there no-one that has not copied this?  I don't like them one bit (except Nothing Else etc..   Tacky I know, I apologize).  But I recognise their position in the pantheon.  Aparently they have a DVD which is hilarious.  Filming the recording w/arch knob Bob Hmmm... let's make it a little more peppery on top Rock.  Q to Bob:  What did you give Metallica  A: (sound of cogs whirring) !Ah . . .   Mid-range.

QOTSA - Man you devil-on-heat!  The guitar on that track just hurts and the vocalist is so so damn good.  He has a very beautiful voice.  I'm sorry they've had staff issues.  Great great track.  This band really tug my heart strings.

[Houdini]

G O R G O R O T H ! !



W O W 



I know nothing of this band but I know a thing or two about Scandinavian window frame design! (As seen in the vid)


Swedish?   Finnish at a push??   

Just love the way there is a world of shredding followed by chug chug chug - chug chug chug then more twiddleshred.

So great!

[Stubbs]

G O R G O R O T H ! !

From Norway, I got their album when I went over there to be told it was over by my girlfriend at the time - nothing like a bit of black metal to clear your head!

The 'Some Kind of Monster' DVD is indeed hilarious, probably more so if you aren't a fan, I knid of wish I hadn't watched it, as it showed what sort of state the band were in nowadays, and ruined any enjoyment that might have been gained from St Anger, the album around which the filming was based.

Glad you are down with QOTSA, thought it may be a bit mainstream for this thread. Was trying to find some Kyuss to add too, but there isn't anything really good on youtube.

[Houdini]

QOTSA are class and noisy enough for inclusion here.  I love the vid to No-one knows:  I think the facial expressions of the bassist are hilarious and this film shows perfectly why I believe the drummer was the REAL talent in Nirvana.  He's amazing.
