Unless you're of the mind that Sabbath is just way above every other metal band in history period, I don't see how. They're amongst many of the most highly esteemed metal bands ever on that poll.

Okay, after rewatching Doakes's death sequence I don't see how he could be alive, they didn't really leave any wiggle room for it. Neeeevermind.

Have to give props to La Guerta's setup, did not see that one coming at all. Also, was that Doakes I saw in the season finale preview? Is it possible the body they found in Season 2 wasn't Doakes and...

Exactly. Just because I don't prefer extreme death grunts doesn't mean I can only withstand Perry Como, there are varying shades of "dirty" between the two, from John Lennon/Mick Jagger smokey/bluesy...

To be honest I enjoy neither the shrieking nor the low-end guttural growls, but for whatever reason I seem to tolerate the... whatever the hell it is Jeff Walker and the dude from Agalloch do better....

I've liked Biden since the Democratic primary debates in 2008. He's a straight shooter, a genuinely likable guy, and when the chips are down he doesn't take any shit. I really can't think of a bad...

Seems this book's entire fanbase has jumped ship, shame. I still like the book and love(d) the characters, even though overall it hasn't quite lived up to early promise. The final issue is plagued...

Yeah, I think the new Down EP is gonna dominate my speakers for awhile. To quote an absent friend:

Give it a few more listens, its listenability increases exponentially with each listen, lol. The guitar parts in "Child's Play" and "R**K the Vote" is that soulful, dueling guitar epic metal-anthem...

Yeah, I've had people telling me to check it out left and right, about time to get around to it


Also, I just stumbled onto Down's new EP, Down IV Part 1: The Purple EP, and it's pretty damn...

I'm not super famiiar with those first albums, I've heard tracks here and there but it was always just a little too much for me, gore-metal bordering on silliness. It wasn't until Heartwork that, in...

And this would be an example of vocals that make me want to karate chop the singer in the throat. Not for me, too intense.

Really? Hunh. I figured the earlier Carcass stuff would be a bit to much for you, it is for me too, but you didn't find the Swansong tracks in particular very groove oriented and melodic, even epic?...

One more, just cuz it's fuckin' awesome, if you don't know of the guitar duo of Bill Steer and Michael Amott, you need to get edumucated!

Here's another beast of a track off what is my personal favorite album of their, Swansong:

Tantara's pretty ool, very riffy, digging it.

Here, for those of you not familiar with Carcass, I'm gonna drop a few of their awesome cuts here to let you kow what they're about. *Note to Ron:...

Radiohead are popular in their circles, and they're a neat, original band that has a lot going for them, but The Beatles they ain't. Even close. And even though I hate when some presumptuous shmuk...

Checking this out right now:

Liking it. Very sludgy, almost Sabbath-y intro, not too harsh or grating but very heavy. They kind of remind me of The...

Exactly, couldn't have said it better myself. Also, if you don't mind the whispery growl he does here go check out some Carcass. He's basically apeing Jeff Walker's vocals.


I'm definitely with...

Here, check this out, sums up what Agalloch does nicely. The vocals are definitely what I'd consider "extreme", but the music is good.

I think I may actually have mentioned Agalloch at some point back in this thread, but yeah definitely agree. It's taken me a long time to get past the grunt-vocal barrier because, as I've said, I'm...

Yeah, that probably factors into my mood lately too. I'll look up and realize I've gone not days but even weeks without really listening to any music just because I've got so much other shit on my...

No I'd definitely agree, lord knows my tastes have changed quite a bit since I was a teenager, though I'd still say I tend to idealize 80's thrash because it was what was going on in metal when I...

Couldn't find this thread in the music forum so I figured I'd give it a bump...


I really need to do this too. I havent listened to any of my old metal favorites in years and years, probably...

While I think Aaron's run has been very hit and miss (especially the art) I liked this issue. It was quite whacky but it was memorable, one of those stories that has a whole new level of depth the...
