Not quite on par with Rastlos but pretty close

This made me laugh when I read it. At The Gates won the Swedish version of the Grammys. Of course this made me laugh because Tenacious D won our (USA) best hard rock / metal Grammy this year for performing a cover song (Dio - "Last In Line"). It is not that I even pay attention to the Grammys, but it is kind of confusing how the RIAA can be so clueless year after year. Why don't they just get rid of the category all together if they are not going to put any thought into it. Anyway, good for At The Gates!

I heard this a while back on Bloody Roots on Liquid Metal. The whole show was dedicated to metal covers of Beatles songs. Here is an oddly faithful cover of I Want You (She's So Heavy).

I love this version of the song. The duel drum intro is badass. This tour would have been amazing to see live, but the album is pretty damn good on its own.

Huge Ministry fan! Esp the early stuff. The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste is now on my listening list for the day.

My favorite Ministry record:

I'd probably have to agree. Kind of their last hurrah with the synth stuff and first dip into the full-on metal material. I may even concede Mind is a more focused album but I enjoy listening to Land more. Their 3 album run of Land, Mind and Psalm are practically untouchable.
 
You lot will probably laugh at this. But south africa has their first propper metal festival ever this april. The likes of:
Epica
Carnifex
Hatebreed
Kataklysm
Fleshgod apocalypse
And more to apear. Super amped!!!!

Sounds like a good time to me! :mug:
 
I didn't get this record until the end of 2014, and didn't give it enough attention. Been spinning it a good bit lately, and it is pretty f*ckin' stellar! Crust, sludge, black, death, and hardcore. It has it all (in only 3 tracks no less!). But it doesn't sound like a complete and total cluster even though they touch on all those genres. Extremely cohesive and impressive release I should have been jamming all 2014. Check it out!

I've been diggin' on this record a lot the last few weeks. The band is called Ruby the Hatchet. They've got a late 60s vibe, kind of like if The Doors played Black Sabbath's music and Jim Morrison was a woman. Very cool. It's not balls to the wall metal but it has the vibe. If you are fans of Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, this should be right up your alley. The whole album is stellar and some of it is pretty heavy. The is the last song on the album and is more spacy, trippy and psychedelic.

It's the season again! This song gave me a smile on my way to work the other morning:
[ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rx4ypQTG9-I[/ame]

Lyrics:
I went to bed one night,
Tired from a 12 hour shift.
My hope was to fall asleep very tight,
but my shut-eye was about to drift.

When I turned off the light and closed my eyes,
the well-known sound appeared.
A tiny little fella, with a taste for blood,
started flying around in here.

It drives - me - insane!

It just sat there on the wall,
waiting for the perfect time.
It’s been there for hours,
planning the perfect crime.

Mosquito! Mosquito!
Built to annoy the **** out of you.
Mosquito! Mosquito!
When you try to swat them they pass - right - through.

It passes my ear, i open my eyes,
stumble out of bed, to turn on the lights.
I scout the walls, to find the little pest.
But now it is gone, so I continue my quest.
Armed to the teeth, from the local supplier,
a spray can should do it - fight it with fire!

Mosquito! Mosquito!
Built to annoy the **** out of you.
Mosquito! Mosquito!
When you try to swat them they pass - right - through.

The curtains caught on fire, I escape the room just in time.
The flames are spreading fast, out of the window I climb.

My house is burned to the ground, it went fast when it spread.
But it brings a smirk to my face, knowing the mosquito is dead...

The new Tribulation has been on serious buzz mode for the last month with folks on either side of the fence. Some people are ticked, and some people love it. Now if you are expecting Tribulation a la "The Horror" this new album might not be for you, but with songs this f*ckin good, I don't care if they have pretty much ditched their Death Metal sound. IMHO, this album slays from start to finish, and is on my short list for AOTY already. There is not a full album stream on YouTube, but I have embedded the 2nd track off the album. If you like it, buy the dang thing, cause all the tracks are this good. It will not disappoint!

He these guys are great, I got to see them at the Soul Bar in Augusta, GA in 2012. It was a weeknight and they where running super late but everyone hung out waited for them to arrive. When they showed up thinking they lost a gig, everyone was still just hanging out drinking. Once they found out that everyone stayed out to see them, they set up quick and ripped sh*t up. pretty sure last call was before the band even started (last call is 2am around here)
 
Quake, you are a better fan than me. My old a** would have left before 2am. I would love to see them though. I have heard from a bunch of folks that they kill it live.
 
I mean, I understand you could just put on a Death album, but this still kicks serious a**! The leads Matt Harvey lays down are nasty. Worth your time if you are into old school american death metal.

I've been digging:
The new Drudkh, Agalloch, Fen, Enslaved, 1349, and Marduk.

Also into older Opeth. Really don't like the direction they've gone the last few albums. I'm mostly into black metal, some fast, some slower. I'm hoping to see 1349 play in early June. Frost is an awesome drummer (Satyricon).

Amen (Corner) to that. Everything after Ghost Reveries has been average at best. Hard to believe Ghost Reveries is 10 years old this year. Watershed and Heritage were big disappointments. Pale Communion wasn't bad but I went in expecting a prog album so I wasn't too disappointed.

The decline in quality, IMO, is at least partly due to Mike putzing around with the lineup. Losing Lopez and Lindgren were huge blows to the band and then when he dumped Per, I lost a lot of respect for him. It seemed to be much more of an unabashed dictatorship after that. Maybe it always was but it was never aired in public until then.

I miss those dual guitar lines with Lindgren. Amazing stuff.
 
Agreed on the line up changes. Mikael is effing around too much there. He thought Lindgren wasn't good enough, but it made the band a lot more emotional, with a lot more feeling. Lopez just had anxiety issues, unfortunately. That wasn't Mikael's fault. I never found out what the deal was with Per. It sounded like he stayed on to record Heritage, maybe reluctantly, then got the hell out. I don't know what to think, but I think I'm pretty much done with new Opeth. I'll listen to My Arms, Your Hearse through Ghost Reveries all day long. Orchid was okay, but never could get into Morning Rise.
 
True about Lopez. Not sure what the story was exactly there but I think it was the touring that got to him.

Reading about the story of Peter taking some of the stuff he wrote to Mike and Mike crapping all over it was when I really started disliking him. Peter seemed to be humble about it and always said Mike was the better writer. But when Mike said Peter's stuff sucked, it made him look like a giant a-hole. Keep band stuff like that private.

Opeth was better at being a metal band that dabbled in prog vs a prog band that dabbled in metal.

Supposedly some problem with his voice contributed to their so called new direction. The fact that they (he) elected to completely change their style of music rather than hire a new singer is probably demonstrative of the ego(s) involved here. Probably just as well though, they were pretty much played out anyway.

UPDATE: I am not sure how many of you on here collect vinyl, but my local record store finally got this in stock today. Let me tell you, this is a beautiful album. Gatefold on thick cardboard stock, 180 gram Double LP with side D etched, and 16 page booklet. I got the Red vinyl, limited to 500. If you collect vinyl, order/buy this record. You will not be disappointed!
