I'm finally back home (for a day), got to open all my mail. (:
 
http://www.sputnikmusic.com/news/33320/Grohl-Taylor-supergroup-signed-/

"Teenage Time Killer, a supergroup spearheaded by Corrosion Of Conformity members Reed Mullin and Mike Dean, has signed with Rise Records. The band has finished recording their debut album, tracked at Dave Grohl's Studio 606, with an expected release in 2015. The band includes Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters), Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour), Keith Morris (Black Flag, Circle Jerks), Nick Oliveri (Queens Of The Stone Age, Kyuss), Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), Randy Blythe (Lamb Of God), Max Cavalera (Sepultura, Soulfly), Neil Fallon (Clutch), as well as members of Sunn O))), The Misfits, Red Fang, Prong, My Ruin, Goatsnake, Brujeria, Articles Of Faith, Sacred Reich, and Municipal Waste."

I have literally no idea what to make of this massive list of members.
 
Priest CDs.jpg

Despite having every studio release on original 1st pressed CDs. (U.S. ), I'm probably gonna order that box set next week just so I can have those versions of Rocka Rolla and Sad Wings of Destiny. Apparently for Sad Wings of Destiny, the issue of The Ripper being louder than every other song and the rest being kinda low was fixed, plus, Rocka Rolla and Sad Wings of Destiny were remastered by a different person than the guy who did the 2001 Remasters of Priest's catalog.

I just couldn't get past the vocals man. Generally if a band has some folky melodic riffs I'm totally in, but sometimes the vocals just push them into unlistenable categories.

i have to agree with you sometimes but overall i really like what they've done, it's just great to listen to something different every now and then. i especially like vocals on the track "heavy heart", it just fits so well with the mood created by the instruments..

also really liking within the ruin's phenomena right now
 
Vocals on Periphery have always been the weak point, it was tolerable on the first album, but after that I just end up with a headache. I think in general "djent" bands usually end up with vocals being the weak link, that, and trying to be as technical as possible.
