yeah i was looking for thrash, ive never heard of them either, ill check em out cianyx

 

[Cianyx]

That's more Crossover as opposed to the ordinary Speed.

 

[SoupRKnowva]

just got their album massive aggressive, so far so good

also the last couple of listens have really pulled it together for me on Resurrection by Chimaira

oh wow, all these songs are super short, which is awesome lol they cant ever get old or outstay their welcome

 

[Cianyx]

Lol, D.R.I. has shorter songs. When you get an ear for Crossover, check out DRI, Cryptic Slaughter, Fearless Iranians From Hell etc.

 

[SoupRKnowva]

so i know this is a total change of pace lol but i just found another black metal cd i like, the new Enthroned cd Pentagrammaton is pretty sweet.

 

[nhancakes]

The new Alcest album is out. It's really good so far, I'm bout half way into it. Too bad the first press of the record was on picLP, gonna have to wait for the second batch for a regular press. check it out guys

oh wow, thanks for the heads up azathoth

i honestly didnt think anyone else existed in the genre haha its promising for sure, it'll take quite a bit to beat out Animals as leaders though.

 

[Azathoth]

Well, Cormorant is a genre-bending revelation. Melodic death/black metal + NWOBHM + a smattering of prog and folk touches here and there. The alternating clean and harsh vocal passages (harmonizing in some parts) are impeccably done without feeling too gimmicky.

The majestic cover artwork fits well with nature-themed lyricism of their debut '09 release "Metazoa".

By the way... Its now official that Filipino Metal has merged with Rakista? hahaha

 

[Azathoth]

LOL, April fools! The Filmet forums are like a ghost town today, lots of people have been sending me enraged messages about that gag page thinking it was for real.

It's just a little overboard (also quite hilarious) how our tr00 forum regulars are really that passionate about their dislike for the emo-dominated Rakista forums.

 

[Bullseye]

Azathoth, we should talk more

I really like the bands you share with us.

Speaking of which, have you heard Pitbulls In The Nursery and Sikth, oh and forgot about Canvas Solaris

EDIT: Oh yeah, just bought a limited edition Exivious CD.

 

[SoupRKnowva]

exivious is more jazzy then animals as leaders for sure, but its still good

and different enough from what i usually listen to

bullseye, im thinking of doing the same thing, only thing holding me back was the 30 dollar price tag haha

oh and for some reason i decided to check out Cannibal corpse, becuase i think it was maza in the thrash metal can thread, which i was reading last night, mentioned one of their songs, so i decided to get their cd kill, which is pretty darn good. Also, behemoth's newest cd, Evangelion, is pretty good too!

So much new metal the last week or so

 

[Cianyx]

Cormorant is indeed quite good. Not a fan of progressive of that sort usually (except Ne Obliviscaris) but they managed to flow without being too iffy.

 

[cornman]

Anyone know of anything else that is similar to exivious?
