Burzum
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."
The Sword are very Sabbath, aren't they?that is why they are so fucking good.

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.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAXGu81Rk1g
:kiss1: :hug:
What was the band that had an album cover with a clown on? It was OK but for the life of my I can't remember names. Houd?
Whilst I love Primus, I'd hardly class them as metal.
Strangely, "Too many puppies" is a tune that goes round my head whilst running.
Heavy sound- yes. Metal- no. But let's not argue about that.
This shit>?

Wow, I'd forgeotten just what a brilliant and insane track Institutionalized is.
And now, get on your knees before the mighty Big Black - Kerosene

I don't know what this sub genre is trash/metal/etc not really being my ourve, but Death From Above 1979 are brilliant.
The video is a random, but the tune is anything but.

Two of their better modern tracks- I still prefer all the older shit. Infotainment never really grew on me.
Bloody hell, Pitchshifter, there's a blast from the past! always thought www.pitchshifter.com was the best album myself...

Anyone have any tips for Burzum?Sorry, been away.
I also got tickets for the Slayer/Mastodon/Trivium thrashfest at the MEN in October - can't wait!!
And I've just secured tickets for Mogwai in Manchester in Oct. Equally can't wait. FD, I've pm'd you.

Were Mogwai any good?
Have followed 'em since Young Team and saw them at Glastonbury around 2004 where they were very loud and very noisy. Haven't caught much of their newer stuff though so will have to check it out.
Isn't everyone praying for that?? :)
Cathedral's ethereal mirror and ND's fear, emptiness depair.

One word for you, it's who I've been listening to all week:
(http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/albums/userpics/23837/normal_pelican.jpg)
Pelican are fucking amazing. Check out Australasia for starters, then their eponymous EP, then March Into The Sea, then all the rest of the stuff. Today I've been listening to the These Arms are Snakes cover of Pelican's Pink Mammoth, which is fuckin' epic to say the least.
So what's good at the moment then? I'm still playing ISIS, Mastodon and Slayer when I'm on the mood... anything else worth checking out?
I'm after some straight up riffage with drums and lyrics 'n stuff.
Ah, how could I forget earthtone9? A small band from Milton Keynes or something, they had 3 albums, all of which are amazing, but ArcTanGent is my favourite by far.
probably http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthtone9 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthtone9) or something similar
Dying Fetus - War Of Attrition
Bolt Thrower - Realm Of Chaos
Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal
Carcass - Wake Up And Smell The...
Entombed - Left Hand Path
On a slightly off topic note, I'm struggling to marry shouty/thrashy/bangy music with the quiet polite well spoken gentleman I have met a couple of times.
I thought he was referring to CGW lol.
Was trying to find some Kyuss to add too, but there isn't anything really good on youtube.
Anyone listened to Metallica's Death Magnetic?
Am I alone in thinking this is over-long, dull nonsence?

Nope. I was listening to Enter Sandman was on Alice Cooper's breakfast show on Planet Rock this morning and It was obvious that Metallica peaked with 'MetallicaMetallicaMaster of Puppets'.

Vorhees are good, I remember their Peel Sesion from '95.

It's Voorhees.
I saw them a lot late 90s in leeds. great band. Shame what happened with Wisdom and Out of Step (Steve Stewart still has an ebay shop - check it out).
My band jams in that building, courtesy of one Mr Ian Leck. Legend.
Have we had much Cannibal Corpse on this thread?? Not really a fan but I do like the shouty vocal in this:

I saw them a few times in the early - mid 90s, supporting Slapshot in Huddersfield I think, plus various gigs at the Duchess of York in Leeds. Very intense live!

How do you get past the sheer ridiculousness of most metal? This is meant in the nicest possible way. Do you have to just embrace it?:shrug:
How do you get past the sheer ridiculousness of most metal? This is meant in the nicest possible way. Do you have to just embrace it?What ridiculousness? The music or the image? My ears can't tend to hear images, so it's not an issue...
Come to think of it, black metal and Gwar aside, the image of metal is scarcely less ridiculous than that of many forms of popular music...

The stance - i.e. the imagery, the attitudes, the subject matter, the overall atmosphere. Well it's extreme, aggressive, nihilistic, misanthropic music, so an extreme, aggressive, nihilistic, misanthropic stance fits in with that. It might not be necessary but it is harmonious.
Does one take the stance seriously?? Most of the metal acts do, some don't. Many fans do, some don't. I....it kinda just washes over me....I like the overall vibe it creates as a vessel to contain the music, but I don't live by it. Same as the stance of some hip-hop acts I like.
N.B. This is about extreme metal in general. Not really about black metal which is the furthest extreme of the stance.

All this said though I have been listening to a little Sunn O)))
Thanks Fiend, that's a genuinely illuminating answer. I guess I just don't get it - and perhaps I feel I should because there are few things better than extremely loud and heavy guitars. Similarly, I just don't get fantasy and sci-fi in literature. I seem to have a problem with the 'non-real' for want of a better word.
Opeth make a better fist of the dramatic stuff than Behemoth in my opinion.Agreed, although Behemoth make a better fist of the thunderous wall of metal that brutally cracks your skull open :D A good addition to this thread though.
In a similar vein to Fu Manchu, Kyuss a bit of Karma to burn KARMA TO BURN - Eight (official video) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea44-MX4rLk#)Sweet! Not heard of these before and really enjoyed.. Cheers.
I've been listening to Hatred for Mankind by Dragged Into Sunlight (http://www.draggedintosunlight.co.uk/) and it's proper mental. Horrible, unpleasant, uncomfortable and downright noisy. Not everyones cup of tea....
This might have already been posted. But for anyone who likes their Fugazi this is very cool.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-16259663 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-16259663)
There was a nice Fugazi article in December's edition of Mojo.
Just found out that Refused have reformed to do a bunch of live shows, including Download this year. Not quite sure what to make of it all, but thought some slightly angsty boulders might be interested . . .

I for one love a bit of Refused, brings back good memories.
New Dragged Into Sunlight LP, Widowmaker. Quite different from the last one. Hints of Godspeed. Really good stuff.

Speaking of which the new Godspeed record is superb - and heavy.
Finally found some more proper metal I rather like:

C.F. Martin & Co. Presents: William Tyler (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KL0TtnRaOY#ws)
Lovin both the new Slipknot album and also the Machine Head album, recommending both. :beer2:
That Sivyj Yar doesn't sound that black to me, but it does sound very well done in it's own style.Yeah, I suppose folk-black metal is more appropriate. This song from their older album From the Dead Village's Darkness (my favourite by them) is also fantastic

Those that suffer musical taste on trips will be aware of my penchant for drone/motorik/Krauktrock.
Saw Cavern of Antimatter last week, strongly recommended if you like that sort of thing. Forthcoming dates in Leeds, Bristol, Brighton, Barcelona (and Berlin (http://www.cavernofantimatter.com/) of course)

As a result I've discovered 'Ozric Tentacles', I'd never heard of them before. Pretty full on jazz fusion/ space rock/ electronica ?!
Yeah, good call Dunc. I'd mostly ignored this thread, have I missed any more motorik gems or is it all thrash?

Batushka - Their debut album caused something of a sensation when in came out in 2015. An interesting take on traditional black metal blast beats and screams with the addition of a 3 piece church choir and chilling, atmospheric guitar leads.
Totally intense Afro hardcore punk, metal, trap, techno and industrial noise.Well now :o I might have to check that out :)
This new one by Duma is flippin’ great.

https://thequietus.com/articles/29400-bolt-thrower very nice article about the legendary Bolt Thrower with a spot on selection of tracks too.Sometimes you look back on life and wonder.... How the fuck did that happen? A phone call, an audition not long after, still in my teens, I ended up on tour with a band supporting the mighty Bolt Thrower. Lasting memories of lovely people and witnessing those lovely people smash it everytime out in every venue we visited. Great band, full of energy and power but still grounded. Legends. :bow:

New Wolves in the Throne Room album today 🤘Good shout, thanks. I've been meaning to check these guys out more, loving the ambient synthesizer sounds in black metal at the moment :devil-smiley:
Nice, not heard that before.I'd expect not, since it was released 2 days before I posted it!
Listened twice in a row. Gonna get a paint scraper to peel my ears off the wall a few metres behind me....
You'll be pleased to hear I am taking my eldest to his first proper gig in a couple of weeks. Napalm Death in Torquay :punk::2thumbsup: good stuff!
Positively light and fluffy by the ambient standards of this thread,Blame Fiend for his passions. Or blame all the other people who don't contribute!
but wow, Bloodywood are making some FUN noise:You're not wrong there!! A lot of fun, they should be as big as any nu-metal / metalcore band. Twin language / twin vocals is an especially good hook, as is presence of traditional instruments that don't overwhelm the metals.
If you want to spend over nine hours listening to an in-depth analysis of Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun (and I personally did and had a great time), this is the podcast for you.
Their self-description is "A podcast about books for people who don't like books, podcasts or capitalism, but who like extreme metal."sounds right down my street :punk: although I do like books.
I fell down a deathcore rabbithole on YouTube recently and found these guys. The Exiled Martyr.Particularly liked the instrumental track (old school thrash vibes going on). Never seen anyone using 'double thumb' technique in a metal band before 8) #bassplayergeekery
Talented players. Think you'll like, if you're not already across their output..
Yeah I prefer the instrumentals too... Find the vocals a bit too abrasive, though the lyrics are pretty intelligent (though intense.)WARNING: Going to get really geeky now. Robert Trujillo is an incredible bass player and very fast (Cliff was THE best though :'( ). He plays slap bass really well, if you haven't heard Infectious Grooves a side project of his former band Suicidal Tendencies they are worth a listen for some super funky slap. However, I don't think I have seen him use the 'double thumb' though, which involves a slap 'through' the string with the thumb and then a second strike or pluck on the way back up. Victor Wooten is a master of this technique but generally he plays funk. As I say never seen it applied to metal before, sounds awesome though as well as being technical awesomeness.
Re the bassist's playing... It almost looks sped up. Thumbs moving like a teenager texting... Amazing player. Can only think of Metallica's current bassist who plays similar speeds with fingers and thumb. Great stuff.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IE8JvbCselg:punk: Cool! Can't believe they're still going. In the early 90s I auditioned for and ended up touring with a band called Arbitrater. This included supporting on an Xentrix tour. I was a bright eyed youngster, in a band that I went to gigs as a younger teenager and then touring with a band that I was a big fan of. Didn't really appreciate that it was a special time to experience at the time, I was very much living in the present! You've stirred some great memories.
In other news... Xentrix have a new album out very soon to follow up 2019's Bury the Pain. Released the title track from it last week.
Again showing that old guys can still thrash hard.
Back on topic these fellas have been keeping the thrash vibe going over recent years. :punk:

I have been to some decent gigs in Dudley though Luke. Was the venue called JBs?? Saw Sick Of It All there, blagged onto guest list with a mate who wrote a fanzine. Amazing gig.. so much energy!
Super psyched to go to a decent heavy gig now.
Ulthar’s Anthronomicon is a vast labyrinth of charred black metal atmosphere, twisted death metal riffage, dizzying time signatures, harrowing vocals, and unnerving synth work, cloaked in a conceptual shroud of unfathomable cosmic horror.
Of the band’s two new albums, it’s the most accessible one.
