So, prog nerds out there, here's a good, Cynic style band you'll dig:
http://www.myspace.com/scalethesummit
The new album's out in February, I think, and it's quite nice. Disciplined, too, complex but restrained enough to sound catchy, and doesn't drag on forever. Gorgeous artwork, too, the booklet unfolds to a gigantic photo of a weirdly eroded canyon dealy.

Read about Obscura in Resound today actually. Intriguing; might have to get it in.
I was far more excited in that issue when reading about the Karma To Burn re-issues. One has their set from Dynamo 1997. As I recall, that set featured one John Garcia on vocals. Depending on the tracks included, that is suddenly my most wanted album in aaaaages.
Karma to Burn w/ vocals?! by John Garcia! That does sound interesting.
First album largely had vocals. Coincidentally or not, it was also their best. I love the story of them and Roadrunner.
And yeah, Slo Burn existed when Dynamo 1997 happened. So John said to KTB 'shall we?' and they did. I ended up with an erection for about 30 years at the idea of it.
I always meant to check out their new band Treasure Cat.

If there's a music player on that page, it didn't show up for me. Really great-looking artwork, though.

Has anyone heard ASVA? They're playing with Black Elk next weekend. I was planning to skip this show and catch Black Elk and Red fang in few weeks, but if ASVA is good, I might go out......
Asva will be worth seeing, definitely.
so after all the year end lists are in, looks like the year in heavy music could be summed up in one medieval statement:
The KRALLICE and CYNICal HARVEY MILK TORCHEd the ENSLAVED BLACK ELK in NACHTMYSTIUM...

1..one of my favorite extreme metal groups, Norway's In Vain announced on their myspace blog yesterday they are 98% finished with their new record that is to be called "Mantra"..for those unfamiliar, http://myspace.com/invainno ..2007's "The Latter Rain" is a tremendous record, which makes me all the more jazzed about this follow-up. more info http://blogs.myspace.com/invainno
Anyone know a band kind of in a similar melodic/blackened proggy death vein in California's Aurora Black http://www.myspace.com/aurorablack
"And the Skies Dream of Infinte Sorrow" is the name of their record from 2008. It's a long 75mins or so, but I am quite intrigue it regardless of the length. Just listening to a couple of songs there.. the melodic sense here is very strong..and the vocals are pretty versatile.
edit: Aurora Black's album from last year is good..but may take some time to fully digest. Like 3 or 4 pieces had some great melodies especially. Very much an epic record in more than one sense.

Yeah, Michael posted about that album a while back. Very very long album.
Yes. I very much enjoyed it but found it so long that relistening was a daunting task. Made it through, head to foot, once. Listened about half way in another 4 times or so. Still think it's great, but I lost interest.
sick find at the broadway reckless yesterday:
12.99, near mint... pardon the glare from my desk lamp.
been spinning this one pretty hard. total balls out classic.

Truth be told, that's quite a vicious album. When they were focused, Manowar could be awesome.

Sask, did you get the new Giant Squid album? If so, is it as much of a snooze-fest as their last album, or did they pull it off? I really liked the song they did on their split with Grayceon, so I'm holding out hope that the new one won't be awful.....
FIIIIINALLY found this.
KEN Mode - Mennonite
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=49IPDZZG
Not my link, so I can't vouch for it. Their last album made it to several EOY lists for '07, but for some reason, this one got almost no distribution. It's almost impossible to find in the states......
I haven't listened to it yet, but the one review I could actually track down said it's their best to date.

To elaborate (which I should have done at the time), I wasn't that enamoured with their new album, but I reckon it might be the kind of thing that takes a while to grow on you. Conversely, their ambience and sunn(o)))-ish tendencies would probably go over really well live. And Trevor Dunn is in the band. He's awesome.
Trevor Dunn is not in Asva, I assume you were thinking of Trey Spruance? Although he's not in the band anymore either as Stuart just recently replaced the entire lineup.

Spruance! Thanks. Bungloids all look the same to me.
Bootsy Kronos is a megalomaniac.
How's that Ken Mode sound? The last album was pretty decent, though it seemed a touch overrated here in Canada.
I was supposed to get it, but since Adrian Bromley's passing all that's been messed up. He'd been raving constantly about GS's new album back in November.

Yeah, I gave it a spin today. I still haven't figured out the whole ambient doom thing. Sadly, I don't think this was the "gateway" album for me to decide I love the genre.
On the other side, I popped Middian in right afterward and realized that doom is growing on me in general. Speaking of which, YOB is doing a reunion show here in Portland at the end of February. I think I'll have to make that one!

The KEN Mode isn't bad. I was a little disappointed, but will give it another try tomorrow. It's been a little while since I heard their last album, but I remember it sounding bigger, more angular, and more "noise metal" overall. Not sure why, but the vocals on this album struck me as a tad bit annoying......
I actually went out and ordered the Giant Squid album, as they're only releasing 1000 copies and I didn't want to get a crappy 128kb mp3.....
If the album sounds anything like Sutter's Fort, it should be awesome.

Have you listened to Altar and Black 1 a few times? If you don't like those, I can't think of much to convince you otherwise.

pretty interesting feature. The part about 'prom dress metal' was pretty funny.
I think the lack of metal in year end lists can be frustrating, at the same time, you can lead a horse to water...

At PopMatters our editors openly say that they don't care for metal personally, but at the same time they do want to see it well represented on the site. Which is great, but it's next to impossible to get some good consensus metal picks for EOY lists, because the huge majority of my fellow, more indie-minded staffers view metal with outright disdain.
Oh, and new Wolves in the Throne Room! Malevolent Grain EP is due in February (with two new tracks), followed by album number three on March 31.

Yeah, for a lot of people there's serious resistance. On one hand, I feel like, as a metal listener, I've only really scratched the surface and that it's sort of intimidating to take on such an immense genre, and all of its different subgenres and whatnot. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't even want to bother taking that first step.
completely agree w/ the convo posted on the last page.
considering the fork's position as tastemakers and overseers of most music thats close to being worth listening to, i expect better. this year was especially disappointing. all of those rackety indie buzz bands are really better than the finest 2008 metal? there is just no way that is the case.
also, im hyped for that wolves in the throne room record. good news.

Phew. I'm ready for 2009 metal, but I'm still catching up on some of what I missed from last year. Was listening to the Warbringer album yesterday - decent, if not exactly thrilling, thrash. Lots of good stuff on the Invisible Oranges end of year mixtape that I missed out on too.
Listening to the High On Fire Live at the Relapse Contamination Festival right now, pretty good. Missed it when it originally came out, but I'm reviewing the wider reissue.

Duuuuuudddddeee: they say inside that website that the bit playing is snippet from the opening track. Cannot wait to hear that thing crack the fuck open and roar.
That Mastodon clip is far too brief to get excited about.
I'm really kicking myself for not getting into this album sooner:
Easily one of the best melodic/prog metal discs of 08, everythnig about it is tasteful, never over the top. Exceptional guitar work (alternately Gathering-like and Floydy), while the female singer has a beautiful voice but never goes of into those wild diva-like histrionics that the European divas do. Very Anneke-like.

I've never seen Cannibal Corpse...gonna have to fix that next time they tour.
Speaking of 2008, Alky, have you checked out Wetnurse - Invisible City? It's pretty swell (post-rock-ish, RIYL Between the Buried & Me/Black Elk). Has anyone heard their self-titled album & if so, how is that?

holy shit
No kidding, what a spectacular line-up. Hmmm, how much is a flight to Atlanta...
Fucking hell that is a monster line-up
i don't know how they managed to get pretty much all of the best bands.
Holy shit. Road trip to the ATL may be in my future. That line-up makes me drool.
I just hope I can get in. The club is pretty small. It has 2 rooms/stages, one holds about 800, the other about 500. Mastodon alone would sell this place out, it's gonna be nuts.
