Neowin Metal Club

[Orange]

Just listened to Soilwork's new album, pretty good but still lacking something :p

[apul]

new machine head is weird, like... weird.

[Orange]

How is it weird? it's brilliant, going back to their roots, amazing metal!

[apul]

You know I really enjoyed Burn My Eyes thanks to their drummer Chris Kontos. But I said weird cause the sang parts maybe, don't very like them. Rob, double kick, loud guitars are here for sure, The Blackening is worked and the band evolved since their debuts but something wrong IMO. It's not as violent as I was hoping.

[Metropolis2112]

Really loving the new Soilwork.....definitely nothing like their old catalog but it's short and to the point, melodic, etc. Also, the new Sotajumala (Teloitus) is frikkin' awesome!!!

[Blackhearted]

So.. I don't know how i missed it last year but, Amon Amarth's "With Oden On Our Side" is really quite good.

Hey fellas...

New Pagan's Mind is a bit of a letdown, but new Benighted delivers.

Let's all hope the members of Decapitated pull through, but reports are that Vitek is in a coma with no signs of improvement after this week's tour bush crash.

[Orange]

Just heard he died :(

[stncttr908 Veteran]

Yeah, very sad.

[Orange]

A very good band now gone probably.

[stncttr908 Veteran]

Actually Decapitated signed with Nuclear Blast a week or so after Vitek's death so it appears they're going to forge ahead in his memory. We'll see if Covan makes a recovery. Apparently he is doing better.

The new Severe Torture is a good spin. Aside from that I've discovered bands like Vomitron (one man project out of Massachusetts) and rediscovered old favorites like Quo Vadis and Martyr. I'll tell you, the Montreal metal scene is one of the best in the world.

I saw Lamb of God and Killswitch Engage last night. It was a sweet show. The only thing was the lights went off during Lamb of God and they stopped playing in the middle of the song and waited to try to get them fixed. They said they weren't going to come back on any time soon so they continued to play with just the house lights and no spots. They were still amazing but it would have been cooler with the lights on.

[Orange]

Lamb Of God= amazing band, my fav :D Still need to see them when they come to UK. Hopelly soon :D Yeah i got the new Severe Torture album, special ed version with 2 extra tracks :D

[Guest]

Oh cool, I'll def look out for that Meshuggah album!

[hotdog666al]

Na i meant for gays lol. Emo is rubbish and shouldnt be mixed with metal at all. :p

Zomfg! I'm listening to alot of Coheed & Cambria, InMe and Paramore atm.

I'm expanding into electronic and more poppy/emo rock music from my metal roots.

I can't wait for Slayer's next album, which I read is to be their LAST! :o

Also Bodom's new album sounds to be quite good with Tie My Rope being kick-ass, although I've gone off the band quite a bit now.

This month, Alestorm's new album "Captain Morgan's Revenge" is out, and I suggest all folk/battle metal fans out there grab a copy.

I heard Burn My Eyes all the way through for the first time today, ****ing, why didn't I sooner! XD - MH FTW.

[Blackhearted]

Damm been ages since last updated this topic, need it at the top guys :D Anyways what albums are everyone looking forward to this year?

To name a couple i'm looking forward to right off the top of my head:

Mercenary's new one titled "Architect of Lies". Since they're one of my favorites.

I'm also eager to hear Kalmah's new stuff that they've been recording recently.

Also Bodom's new album sounds to be quite good with Tie My Rope being kick-ass, although I've gone off the band quite a bit now.

Eh. That song isn't very good in my opinion.

[hotdog666al]

Not as good as their older stuff, but certainly a nice progression from "Are you dead yet?"

[Spookie]

I can't wait for Slayer's next album, which I read is to be their LAST! :o

Really? Are they staying together as a band or splitting? As over the top and poor their last albums are. They give a fantastic live performance.

[TheSecretAzNMan]

This month, Alestorm's new album "Captain Morgan's Revenge" is out, and I suggest all folk/battle metal fans out there grab a copy.

Pssh. Alestorm is PIRATE METAL. Get it right.

Lol. XP

Seeing as how Kamelot, Behemoth, and Dimmu Borgir had all had recent releases, I can't think of anything I'm really anticipating as of now.

I'm waiting to see if Mushroomhead and Slipknot are going to release anything, though.

[GFM]

Ididn't even know Meshuggah was coming out with a new album. Definitely looking forward to that. Also the new Protest the Hero sounds promising. And I'm gonna have to say Metallica's new album, as bad as these guys were on their last effort I still hold a place in my heart for them. Oh, and I'm looking forward to some release by Misery Signals.

[Jason S. Global Moderator]

I'm waiting to see if Mushroomhead and Slipknot are going to release anything, though.

rumor has it Slipknot is currently working on a new album to be released late spring or early summer. that excites me :D

I have a coworker who is friends w/ mushroomhead. i'll ask her if theyre recording or something.

[Orange]

Can't wait for some real metal to come out :p

[LuciferCraze]

awesome XD didn't know Neowin had a metal club >_>

last month I went to Amoth Amarth's concert LOL ... so awesome I lost my glasses in a moshpit

end of January I'm going to a manson concert XD

I <3 concerts.

[CelticWhisper]

Therion needs to release their next album. Or someone needs to invent a time machine.

I remember hearing (I think it was on Wikipedia) that Johnsson said the next album will follow in the style of Gothic Kabbalah's finale track "Adulruna Rediviva."

I know better than to think they're releasing a whole album full of 14-minute epics of awesomeness, but still...DO WANT.
