Heh, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it.
The Akercocke album is corrupt, which ticked me off. The Gathering's live album Superheat is pretty sweet, though. I hadn't heard that one yet.
I guess this would fall under metal: did anyone else go to the Red Sparowes/Daughters show last night at the Beat Kitchen? Verdict: Red Sparowes - cool; Daughters - awes. Especially the drummer
Yeah, I saw Red Sparrowes at in in-store at Amoeba in SF last year. At the Soundless Dawn was one of my faves of 2005. Soooooo much cooler than Pelican or Isis.
Man, how crappy is that new Lamb of God single and video?

Maybe I need to give it another shot, I have only caught it once and that was the video on the local public access metal show. I just wasn't too impressed.
And on the important news, yup. Just hit Oink. Very excited.

It's so good. I'm so happy...it's so satisfying to find out the one band you've been a fan of the longest is still capable of great music. It's their darkest, most focused work in many years. Low on the "Wicker Man"/"Rainmaker" style of single-worthy tunes, but that Kerrang review is right, it's like the incident a year ago lit a fire under their asses, cos man, do they mean business.

There's so much variety, I don't know where to start. So here's a quick rundown of killer albums you might want to try (if you haven't heard them before):
Agalloch - Pale Folklore, The Mantle
Arsis - A Diamond For Disease
Diamond Head - Lightning For the Nations
The Gathering - How to Measure a Planet (this one is going to make my 95-04 top ten)
Moonspell - Memorial
Orphaned Land - Mabool
Primordial - The Gathering Wilderness
Razor - Evil Invaders
Ugh, there's so much good stuff, and so much I've never heard!

Those downloads from that site Sask posted seemed ludicrously slow (like 3 hours to download half an album slow ... and I have Cable internet!), but maybe I'll try again.
Just finished my first listen to the Maiden.
Wow. This is definitely not an album for those attracted to the more concise, anthemic side of the band, that's for sure. So for folks like Deej who were blown away by my single disc "Anthems" mix of a few years back, stay far away: there isn't a "Wicker Man," "The Trooper," "Run To The Hills," or "Wrathchild"-like song in sight.
That said, this is incredible. After the looser, more relaxed/fun approach of Dance of Death (which opened with a COUNT-OFF for God's sake!), the band is downright furious and mean on this one. Practically every song still has that trademark huge Iron Maiden chorus, but this is a lot more complex/heavy album than their other post-reunion material. And Dickinson is just absolutely spitting FIRE throughout ... probably his best vocal work on a Maiden album since rejoining. Its definitely a grower, which Dance of Death was for me as well, but on first listen, I think I might grow to like this one even more than that or Brave New World.
And, yeah, it seems cliche by now to proclaim a 21st Century Maiden album as "the best they've done since their `golden era,' but damnit if that's not true! This definitely excites me more for the show in October ... I bet this stuff will KILL live.

That website has had a lot of traffic over the last few days, so try during the slow hours, like later at night. The speed's been good for me so far.

Agreed on all counts. "The Longest Day" is awesome...right up there with "Paschendale".
There was a lot of debate about whether the album would suffer from not being mastered, but the raw mix complements the music nicely.
This is the kind of great album that will have me cursing myself for not blowing my cash to see the October tour. Maiden always plays a lot fo new stuff on their tours, and I certainly wouldn't complain if they did four or five songs off the new disc. If there'd been a Vancouver date, I would have gone there for sure.

Ok, this one is a keeper. I'm halfway through, and I think it's time I go buy it. How can you go wrong with song titles like "I Am The Wooden Doors"? I have no idea how they play this stuff live, though, with all the acoustic guitars louder than the distorted ones at times....if you dig. But this is good stuff.

Neurosis--The Eye of Every Storm

This is a pretty huge line-up, IMO. If you go to this show, don't blow off the openers: The Bronx kill it live, and I've heard Converge are no slouches, either.
The new tunes sound amazing and I can't wait for Blood Mountain to drop.
I'm probably going to the first SF show (not listed above, but they added a second Slims date on the 26th). I'm trying to convince Velocity to come but she claims to "not be a huge fan." Can some SOMB metallicats help me convince her that this is not a show to miss?

Bump in the hopes of displacing Dylan multiple-thread histrionics.
Thank you burzum for the Xasthur. I've been looking forward to this one. Its interesting that its coming out on Hydrahead.
Is there any chance that i could get Cries of the Past by Underoath? If yes, thanks in advance.
So I'm listening to "Purify," the cool song from Through Silver in Blood by Neurosis. Throughsilver, this one goes out to you. Only metal song I'm aware of that features bagpipes on the lead riff.
Hey, how's their joint with Jarboe from Swans? Never heard it.

So I'm going record shopping after work today, and a need a few solid metal recommendations. Haven't bought a metal record in a while that just absolutely, positively kicked my behind (well, WITTT was great, but still...).
I'm in the market for really heavy, riff-laden rock solid metal-metal. It doesn't have to be new, either- I'm actually pretty weak on 90's metal outside of the usual suspects (Prong, Pantera, Testament).
What should Vivian pick up and why?

I guess it depends on whether you want old stuff or new stuff, whether you're looking for clean vox or death vox, metalcore or no, etc. The new Strapping Young Lad fits the bill, I think. It is, truly, really heavy, riff-laden rock solid metal-metal. The new Amon Amarth isn't out until October, but it's a fun one. The new Unearth album is very good metalcore.
Would that be The New Black?

Some exciting news from Justin Broadrick's blog:
The new Jesu album, recently titled 'Conqueror', is currently at the end of the mixing stage and is about to be mastered. There are 8 songs on 'Conqueror', with a running time of just over 60 minutes. Planned for a February 2007 release on Hydra Head, a U.S tour will coincide with the release, shortly followed by tours of Japan and Europe. More details as they come through...
Other Jesu releases are also on the horizon : Aurora Borealis will be releasing a limited edition 12" vinyl only EP featuring 2 new experimental Jesu compositions entitled 'Sun Down' b/w 'Sun Rise', each song is approx. 18 minutes in length. Both songs feature Justin and Diarmuid only. This is mixed, mastered and with the label. Release date TBA.
Currently being mixed is a limited edition split 12" vinyl EP with Eluvium, this release is a joint venture between Hydra Head and Temporary Residence, with 2000 copies being issued by each label. This features 3 new Jesu compositions, recorded by Justin only. Release date TBA.
Justin has recently had remixes released of Knut, 5ive and Agoraphobic Nosebleed. He is currently finishing a dub remix for Ted Parsons involved project N.I.C for their upcoming dub album. Details are also currently being solidified for Justin remixing Explosions In The Sky. More news soon...
In other news there is a new Justin instigated band project - GREY MACHINE, the first album is currently in fruition. Many of Justin's old cohorts are involved in what will be a floating line up ; Dave Cochrane, a co-conspirator of Justin's [together in Head Of David and Sweet Tooth] is soon to be recording his bass parts. Expect something vicious, loose, heavy and psychedelic. More news very soon....
Justin has been invited to join Sunn0))) as a member of the group on their upcoming October 2006 U.K and Ireland tour. Yet again details TBA very soon...
Justin recently mixed and produced the Pelican London live show at the Scala from December 2005 from what is to be both a DVD and a limited double vinyl set. Release TBA. Justin will now also be mixing and producing an ISIS one off performance of 'Oceanic' in its entirety, performed in London as part of the ATP festival in July 2006. This is to be a DVD release with other formats TBA. Justin [with Diarmuid] as Final opened for ISIS at this event, he also guested on guitar with ISIS on the song 'Weight'...

Don't have the new one, but I'd be happy to up their self-titled from 2003 if you're interested.
I had the opportunity to see Pig Destroyer tonight. Without sounding like a slabbering fanboy, this was the most intense metal band i've seen in at least 10 years. The show shattered my expectations. If there is a better frontman that JR Hayes, I'd love to see him. I was positively entranced by this guy. Oh well, A+ metal night for me.

Terrifyer will go down as one of the best grind albums of all time. An incredible record.
The new one by the Haunted has surfaced (get it here), and call me nuts, but i really like it. It's a real departure from their no-frills thrash/metalcore sound, and in my opinion the boldness of it makes it a lot better than rEVOLVEr, which I wasn't too crazy about.

Don't have the new one, but I'd be happy to up their self-titled from 2003 if you're interested.
Fine with me. Thanks.
Voivod self-titled album:

This album was my (recent) introduction to this band. I like it pretty well, though the vocals are a bit weird--not bad exactly, but he has this sort of nasally growl thing going on.

I had the opportunity to see Pig Destroyer tonight. Without sounding like a slabbering fanboy, this was the most intense metal band i've seen in at least 10 years. The show shattered my expectations. If there is a better frontman that JR Hayes, I'd love to see him. I was positively entranced by this guy. Oh well, A+ metal night for me.
Cool. I really wish they'd get to work on a new album. Terrifyer will be in the top 20 of my 95-04 list.
Call me old-fashioned, but shouldn't "songs" be at least 90 seconds long? I like Pig Destroyer as much as the next guy. Sometimes, though, I wish they'd link a few of their brief snippets together for a full-length song or three.

Nah, their songs are long enough for what they do. Though actually, about half the tracks on Terrifyer are over 90 seconds. My favorite song on the album ("Towering Flesh") is over 3 minutes long in fact.
