I'm checking out All That Remains on sunday. Their guitarists are sick. Should be a kick balls show.

GD their new drummer is awesome

Well, in the last week I've been listening to the new Trivium album quite diligently. I'm gonna say that the album isn't as good as their last one but the musicianship is fantastic nonetheless. I was very impressed with the construction of the songs, even though many of them seem more appealing to hard rock mainstream base. Definitely different from Ascendancy.

i like their new album the more i listen to it. it's night and day different from Ascendancy... not so much the rest of the band, more so just the vocals. if youve ever seen them live though, you know that Heafy didnt really ever scream that much on stage... i think it was inevitable for him to change the vocals.

a lot of the songs do sound like Metallica, but every song ends up sounding like Trivium. a good example is Detonation. the first 1/2 sounds like Metallica, the second 1/2 sounds like Trivium.

Some of their songs are just downright awful. Anthem isnt that great... kinda boring. the one about Unity is just ridiculous. There's another one thats bad too... typical "single" sound to it. Otherwise the album is great (excluding those 3 songs). And "The Crusade" is amazing .... what time does that song start out in anyway? something x/8...

PS: im going to see them in Columbus (OSU Campus) on Sunday the 15th. I cant wait to hear some new songs!

Just saw Celtic Frost on Saturday. 1349 wasn't there sadly though. I like them a lot. Although my friends who saw them with Celtic up north said they didn't go over that well live. Goatwhore still played though. Their new CD is one of the best this year, and they were totally incredible live.

Anyway anyone curious what Jason Newstead was up to prior to Metallica, check out the Reissue +DVD release of Flotsam & Jetsam's Doomsday For the Deceiver on Oct 31. It's utterly amazing and Jason is just a madman on this album. It's almost kind of sad to see how he went from the style he was doing with Flots, to basic root notes in Metallica.

Fear Factory, Decapitated & Suffocation stop by my neck of the woods in the next few weeks That should be a decent show. Suffo ALWAYS deliver a bad ass show.

Oh & I totally agree about Gojira they're a band to keep an eye on. They could turn out to be a great legendary band if they play their cards right.

Jdawg, by far the worst song on The Crusade has to be The Rising. Just what the **** were they thinking? It's absolutely terrible, other than that it's an awesome album.

The lyrics are little on the gay side, but the main solo in that song is awesome.

Killer He Condemned

My buddies band, they have an EP coming out which im happy about haha.

[crimsonhead]

NEW ARSIS IS OUT!!!

I'll give my brief review shortly.

[azcodemonkey]

New Angra coming out on the 31st.

[-=Monkey Boy=-]

New Arsis album is great, I have to say though it's not as good as their last album. I'll give it a few more listens before I change my mind we'll see.

[crimsonhead]

New Arsis album is extremely good! :D Well worth the (long) wait! It's much more Deathnical than A Celebration Of Guilt. More along the lines of the Diamond For Disease EP. A step forward in the right direction IMO.

Nice will check out ARSIS new album, liked there last one :D

I was very impressed with the construction of the songs, even though many of them seem more appealing to hard rock mainstream base. Definitely different from Ascendancy.

The biggest reason I listened to the album so many times was do to a lack of anything else new to listen to. I tend to get bored with new releases fairly quick. I NEED some good black metal. I love Dissection, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle Of Filth, and I'm having a hard time finding anything else. Help!!!

I was actually just listening to their new cd. In my opinion it can't touch Ascendancy. I was reading one review on Ultimate Guitar and they were talking about how much Trivium sounded like Metallica on this album. And now that I've heard that I kind of agree. And it's not that I don't like Metallica. I do but I just liked how Trivium sounded on Ember to Inferno and Ascendancy a lot better. It sounded more like metal then and now their new cd sounds more like hard rock. Oh well they still kick ass and are very good musicians. Hopefully I can catch one of their shows sometime.

[Shuu]

so i was listening to Hard Attack & i heard that new metallica song called 'the new song' and let me just say it.was.AWESOME.*

*not really.

i *%@&$ hated it. it made me want to cry. i'm no metallica fan, anyway, but..bleh.

-shudders-

I actually thought both of Metallica's new songs weren't that bad. But knowing Metallica it'll be another year or more until they finish their album, if they start recording. Other than that, I started listening to The Human Abstract alot. Probably because of how similar they are to Protest The Hero. But, I've had a lack of new interests in Metal lately, the new Arsis album was a little disappointing but still good.

On another note, I heard Corrosion Of Conformity on my local rock station, which surprised the hell out of me. I have never heard CoC on the radio, let alone known anyone in person who listened to them.

Time to listen to the Meshuggah re-release of Nothing.

I love it. I don't like the screaming they had before. I always said if they had clean vocals, they'd be a much better band and I stand by that now with The Crusade. Everyone is whining how they sound like Metallica but I don't freaking hear it. You guys all have problems. Sure you can hear their influenced but it's not that much that it actually takes away from the song. To me it's barely noticeable. Someone said Matt sounds like a younger James. No he doesn't. Go listen to Kill Em All then listen to The Crusade. Completely different. I'll admit at times he does sound a bit like James did in the middle of the 1990s, but that's it. The styles and structures are completely different and so are the lyrics. Now other people will complain that Matt sounds like he's whining. I disagree. It's called singing and it's done with melody and it's great if you ask me. But you shouldn't, instead form an opinion of your own. Anyway, everyone knocks this album for sounding too much like my favourite band and I hate it. It sounds almost nothing like them to me. It bothers me that people dislike it for being a ripoff. They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery. But then again most of you would say St Anger is garbage too. So what the hell do you know? You're just narrow minded metal elites. Go listen to whatever you like but stop bashing talent for imitating their influences and pioneers.

Saw: Thine Eyes Bleed, Children of Bodom, Lamb of God, In Flames and Slayer at brixton academy last night.

Was VERY good.

In Flames had the best stage performance imo.

Went in the pit for raining blood ^-^

[devstorm]

Went to Cannibal Corpse the other night in Hollywood.

Unfortunately the sound was F - ed up for most of their set.

But they still played incredibly well.
