I don't post here a lot --lurking mostly.

But, I wanted to thank joeblow and Mordred for introducing me to Kadavar and Witchcraft, respectively. Good bands; albums ordered!

Agreed, their genre defying tendencies make them even more appealing to me. Having said that, live they were pretty darn heavy, especially for a two member band.

Traxan

I love, love, love this album.



They borrow generously and blatantly from Bon Scott AC/DC and do it brilliantly. If you like Bon's era, you have to try this.

For something completely different, how about an all female, visual kei power metal band from Japan?



Take a look.

Yes BLACK DOG BARKING is a very good album also recommend is there first album RUNNIN' WILD and there second NO GUTS NO GLORY is also good.

I really like Black Breath's last album and that has caused me to delve into Entombed's back catalog, a band that heavily influenced Black Breath. Such fucking good music. Their early stuff is just nasty and Morning Star is one of the best metal albums I've heard.

Any other suggestions for this type of metal? I guess I'd call it Scandinavian thrash.

Phodg

It's not Scandinavian thrash. It's Swedish death metal. And there are whole books written about it.

If you like that sound ... Other bands to try ... Carnage, Dismember, Unleashed, Desultory, Comecon, Grave. I left Arch Enemy and At The Gates off as they have a slightly different sound.

I've seen them live and they were great.

If you just want more Entombed Worship just listen to Entrails (also from Sweden):

I can't wait for new Carcass either, that song sounds great.

I've been rocking the new Misery Signals, their best effort yet (IMO)-angry, technical and pissed.

Awesome! The San Francisco show is on a day I don't have classes.

I missed Kreator & Overkill the last time both of them were out on their respective tours, so I'm looking forward to this.

Warbringer is pretty awesome too.

The new Trouble album is excellent ...

Bought my ticket for the Oakland show last night. The lineup is too good.

islandclaws

Looks like another Echoplex show for me!

Ravenous

I am 3 hours from San Luis...might have to make the trip!

Phodg

Screw all that new stuff. The new Carcass album (Surgical Steel) has leaked and it's magnificent. First album since 1996 and it's like they've never been away. Fits right into that Necroticism/Heartwork mold.

bunkaroo

I'm going to try and be good and wait for the official date....

bunkaroo

Really enjoying the new Dan Swano project, Witherscape:




This should hit the spot for anyone who like Opeth.

Ravenous

Ohhh i forgot about that release! gotta do my order. i love whatever swano touches

Phodg

Carcass were brilliant in Chicago last night. Sold-out show too.

My guitarist went to that show - I should have too. Sounds bad ass.

bunkaroo

Barely any mention of it, but I think Soilwork's latest double release is probably my favorite of theirs. It's got everything I want from them. I had the chance to see their set at ProgPower the night before we played, and I think that finally "flipped the switch" for me to really absorb the new record.

These two are particular favorites:

Loving the new Ruins of Beverast album: "Blood Vaults - The Blazing Gospel of Heinrich Kramer"
