bust out 'blessed are the sick' vinyl by morbid angel 4 a cpl of sk8r / metal fanboy guests last nite & cranked the stez, letting it play both sides thru on loud. only have 3 metal lps & haven't listened 2 any in years so it was incredible 2 hear again that albums clean power; its metal & ambient songs' flow reverberating, convincing, sophisticated.

Not really a big fan of thrash. But when you got a drummer like this I'm down.

This is still a very WOW track for me personally. I'm sure you can get heavier but whatever, this is lush.

Devin is awesome, saw him supporting SYL (supporting himself) and he played this among other cool shit. Should rerip this album...

RIP Christopher Lee, true metal knight...

I'm not alone?

Serious? He is dude, it was on the news and all over the internet. The guy was 93 though, it's not really all that surprising.

i saw Sigh last weekend, bombastic japanese hippie black metal and it was fucking awesome live

you can't go wrong with one of these albums

Sigh are fuckin' awesome, was blasting Graveward (bandcamp link at work for a while. Ivan Ooze knows what to choose.

Spent yesterday listening to Discordance Axis. Man I love this band.

i meant in terms of his infamous Dracula role for a few decades (who kept coming back from the dead all the time),

its called a joke ;)

Can't believe I didn't think to post this here yet - it's pretty much the IDM of metal, or at least as close to it as I think I've heard. Norwegian jazz band, Shining, recently took a big musical turn and started making extreme jazzy experimental metal. Shit's really good though, very abstract and extremely heavy.

The 'single' from the album Blackjazz -

This one is great too, even has a borderline ripoff 'Ipacial Section' in the middle -

Yeah, I love Shining although I've stopped listening ever since that Black Jazz album. Grindstone is one of my fave albums of that era, seen them live a couple of times during that period and it was absolutely insane everytime. They played a festival in 2007 on the same night with Aphex Twin, there were only 20 people or so and me and a mate were the only ones in front of the stage (the rest standing / sitting against the walls), completely going berzerk over their "21st Century Schizoid Man" cover. Mønkeby is also a very nice chap!

Was actually quite suprised to see them in the national news last week because of this awesome feat:

^Saw that earlier this week, that's metal as fuck. Like straight up dethklok summoning the Lake Troll shit.

lol @ that ipacial section bit

^Yeah I didn't hear about that! Link?

Also, imagining being one of the guys that had to haul all that equipment up there.

They had a huge crew and helicopters helping out, the small audience had to hike for about 5 hours (I think) just to get there. Cameras (and drones) recorded the gig, which will be released on DVD later on I think:

RE: the Lake Troll shit, actually the place they did the gig on is called Trolltunga, the troll tongue :)

Hah! Yes, that's the one :) I guess the room wasn't as empty as I remember? Shining, Aphex and your gig that night were all so mindblowing, that whole night was just an insane experience.
