[BKC]

[Adm. Empoleon]

pretty much agree with TD, with the addition of Necrophagist to the list of
"I can't wait for".

 

[Renosaur]

A group of ex-classmates of mine (graduated last year with me) are in a band doing metal stuff and they have parkway drive as their influence. I'm just posting their page to support them, check them out guys!

a promised vendetta
Those Left Behind - A promised Vendetta (volume is low though imo)

 

[TheValkyries]

Iron Maiden are releasing a compilation album, with songs from the 90's and 2000's.

As someone whose first album they ever bought was Powerslave by Iron Maiden and has loved them ever since, I can tell you straight up: No one gives a solitary fuck.

 

[BKC]

been listening to carrion by parkway drive (again) nonstop

probably not for everyone but then again thats what makes converge unique

 

[Adm. Empoleon]

saving the thread from screamo ooh-look-at-me-i'm-metal bands:

Nile - Howling of the Jinn
Nile - Lashed To The Slave Stick

also, Jordanian thrash band, Exile, released an awesome track:
Dead Thrashers Rising

 

[Nevermore]

converge > nile, just saying

also, Slaughter are pretty cool, Canadian thrash that had Chuck Schuldiner on one of their demos (not that it matters since Chuck's overrated anyway but more people are likely to listen to this if i mention his name):

[Adm. Empoleon]

i'm not a guitarist, but why is every good guitarist whom everybody wants to be is doomed to be "overrated"?

and you could've at least posted some links for converge. =/

 

[norulz]

and you could've at least posted some links for converge. =/

[CaptKirby]

Jane Doe is by far the most complete Converge song (and best/most interesting to me for that reason). It is the capstone on their only good album...

Being snide about Converge being metal or not is fucking stupid. This is not a band who is halfassing their way through pop sounds like Linkin Park or something.

 

[Zoro]

yea, listen to Jane Doe, it's their best by a fuckin' huge margin.

I haven't listened to a lot of metal lately, but Lost in Violence by Essence is an excellent thrash metal album (released in 2011).

 

[Nevermore]

i'm not a guitarist, but why is every good guitarist whom everybody wants to be is doomed to be "overrated"?

or you know, i could be saying he's overrated because he is overrated

i'm not saying he isn't good or anything but people worship him and ignore all the fucking amazing musicians that were in Death (Steve Digorgio, Gene Hoglan, Chris Reifert, etc)

on their (converge) only good album...

excuse me

 

[popemobile]

Trap Them might have already been brought up in this thread but I can't remember. Deathgrind/Crust/Hardcore/whatever/etc. but it brings the goddamn riffs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPTBhhqgR-w

 

[norulz]

trap them's 2011 album darker handcraft is one of the best extreme metal albums of 2011 so far

just throwing it out there because i totally forgot about them for a bit

i am that goddamn son of a bitch, in the dead of the night

those lyrics always stuck out on the album for me

trap them - targets
trap them - digital dogs with analog collars

 

[popemobile]

and while we're on 2011 albums, my buddy showed me The Agent That Shapes The Desert by Virus, and I gotta say that it's really solid. I'd probably classify it as experimental metal or something idk. The vocals didn't exactly click with me at first but I'm over that. Great album, I recommend checking it out along with Trap Them

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcAumNK6r-I

dat bassline

 

[popemobile]

all the way back on page 5??????

anyways, I'm bumping this because of dat blast beat

[His Eminence Lord Poppington II]

no, but seriously, recent (kinda) metal album, orbs - asleep next to science is excellent, it has one of the BTBAM guys, amongst others and is a great listen.

also, lamb of god almost came to shanghai, but ended up only going to beijing because this government likes to fuck things up.

terror
every time i die
he is legend (whut, decent metalcore?)

oh yeah, and BKC - best lamb of god songs imo are - walk with me in hell and redneck, groove metal hell yeah.

 

[BKC]

oh yeah, and BKC - best lamb of god songs imo are - walk with me in hell and redneck, groove metal hell yeah.

those two are great, especially redneck, but i prefer the ashes of the wake album the most; sacrament was basically the same thing but a bit weaker. some of AOTW's best:

Break You
Laid To Rest
Now You've Got Something To Die For
