New Darkest Hour is amazing. They really out did themselves this time, and IMO their best release to date.

am i missing something? their album isnt out until July 10, and i've only heard 1 new song. is it "available" or something?

Welcome to the net... :devil:

New DevilDriver album out now :D sounds good, much better riffs in the album which is a plus :D

[azcodemonkey]

The new Symphony X is delicious. Not out yet, but "available". (don't worry, I WILL purchase it) It's definitely a darker album than previous efforts.

How is everyone?

Listening to:

Melechesh - Emissaries

Mithras - Behind The Shadows Lie Madness

Nile - Ithyphallic (very good, purchasing on release date) :D

Bah, too much -core around here lately! Do I have to come back here f/t and whip this place into shape? ;)

Oh yeah, attending Summer Slaughter 2007 (7/8) and Nile (8/21).

Good man and lol stncttr908 :p what's with a little metalcore? I like some of it!

[Kreuger]

do you ever listen to Chimaira? his vocals are the best combination of heavy screaming with clarity. It's real heavy but you can still make out the words.

I've heard a song or two but wasn't too fond of them. Not quite sure why as I can't exactly remember why I didn't like them haha. Maybe I'll have to have another listen. Anyone have any idea (rumours) about what Arch Enemy's next cd will be called? I haven't heard any news on it in a while.

[stncttr908 Veteran]

There not death metal :p

what would you call it?

[stncttr908 Veteran]

what would you call it?

Dimmu Borgir used to be a symphonic black metal band, but are now considered to be symphony extreme metal since they've largely been shunned by the black metal community due to their changes in style and resulting commercial successes.

fair enough :laugh:

My last.fm link is cleverly disguised as a recently played image in my sig.

[stncttr908 Veteran]

Yeah, whether it's fair or not, they've joined the metal elitist's "**** list" so to speak. I don't really like their latest release, but I thought everything from Death Cult Armageddon on backwards was good. It's just funny because the same elitists who think albums like Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia and Spiritual Black Dimensions are **** now probably thought they were great upon their release. ;)

yup, tis how it goes...

2 new Killwhitneydead albums:

-Hell to Pay

-Nothing Less Nothing More

Both great albums, on par with their previous releases.

Oh, and if you've never heard of these guys before, they're best known for their heavy sample usage. The vocalist is great, and they've got some killer riffs.

Give 'em a listen if you're in the mood for something a little different from everything else out there.

[Orange]

Some good songs. LOL on the movie samples at the start of each song :p

[apul]

I recently listen to (again) Nostromo. Brillant stuff.

Preview on Myspaz: http://www.myspace.com/nostromofanpage cause the band is ****ing dead 2 years ago.

[stncttr908 Veteran]

Bah, you fools must keep this thread alive!

Just discovered Scariot, a good death/thrash/progressive metal band along the lines of Nevermore and Communic. In fact, Oddleif Stensland from Communic was once the vocalist. Their latest album has DiGiorgio on bass, so that's always fun.

I'm really enjoying the new Ion Dissonance, Trepalium, Tesseract, the new Amoral is alright, maybe it'll grow on me, the new Iced Earth kinda sucks, but thats just imho. New In Flames song kinda disappointing too......whats new with you all??

[Orange]

Yeah the InFlames song was crap! Where they are going is beyond me!

[dr.bisho]
