oh man how could I forget

this came up in my recommendations last week



innovation or desecration? :jbhmm:


this was kind of interesting, I don't think I'd seen a nut bend before




and finally (for now) something different: I was looking for the sheet music for the outro of a Periphery song and came across a whole thesis :ehh:

Yooooooo I love it fukk the bassist though lol
Honestly, all I knew of Soundgarden was Black Hole Sun (plus Chris' song from that Superman film), so this was a very interesting listen. Was that Chris singing on this album? He had range :ehh:



Chris had an interesting solo career



This is still fire but timbaland dropped the ball with the album smh

Black Sabbath Iron Man?
full
thank you, I had no idea!

I started with tech death, so I am more familiar with the guitar wankery as you put it, only occasionally looking further back

You reminded me of this though, which is another that I liked a lot (not that they're related, apart from perhaps being from roughly the same region)

I've been reading this from around page 160 where he discusses the development of the genre and subgenres starting from Black Sabbath, really interesting

I was just hating lol, I do like a little bit of tech death, mostly the older stuff. Like still to this day no tech death band has ever topped the 2 Necrophagist albums to me. Blows my mind that dude learned how to play like that practicing guitar in a closet at night because he didn't want his parents to know he was playing metal. I like "technical" death metal where the songwriting is still the main focus rather than the stuff where the main focus is showcasing the technical playing. Like Nile for instance is technical as fukk, but not in the same way as other stuff that comes to mind when you think of "tech death."

This band is technical and they were one of the first death metal bands I ever got into. Randomly downloaded this track back in the Limewire days and I was like wtf is this lol. That thumbnail pic is not them obviously lmao



And I went to one of the final Bolt Thrower shows in the United States over a decade ago, right before they broke up. One of my favorite bands EVER.

I've been trying to get through the Hellhammer/Celtic Frost/Triptykon discography in chronological order whenever I have time to listen to a full album in one sitting. Tom G. Warrior's guitar tone is the stuff of legends, and they experimented with a lot of different sounds throughout their career.

first, sorry it has taken me a century to come back to this: I left the tab open to listen properly and respond, but then the tab got buried and I got stuck in lurk mode. I've been finding it increasingly difficult to post here, like I've been building the habit of not posting. And from the current TLR threads it looks like the site died (temporarily) today? :pachaha:

June, oml...

But thank you for these. The thumbnail :russ:

Yes, I think I see what you mean. Some bands are just doing too much for me to enjoy it.

I have found it helpful at times to essentially focus on one person and work through their, erm, work. Hannes Grossmann has been a good one since he shows up in a lot of places. I didn't know he was in Triptykon too. :jbhmmm:

And Necrophagist obv. I come back to Epitaph in particular quite often tbh. (And just a couple of days ago I rediscovered Hannes' solo albums, I'd completely forgotten about them!)


And I went to one of the final Bolt Thrower shows in the United States over a decade ago, right before they broke up. One of my favorite bands EVER.

Favourite album? The IVth Crusade is the only one I've listened to so far and I can't remember why I started with that. I scrolled to the bottom of my Watch Later list recently and I have Realm of Chaos in there.


Unrelated but I also found this in my WL list, which was... interesting. Listening to it (particularly after the first time) made me feel like I was becoming one with the rainforest, I could almost feel myself breathing the misty air...



edit: the 2nd and 3rd songs are better

just remembered this album

lyrically kind of strange, but the chug is 👌🏾


really random but I clicked on something a few weeks ago and saw they'd just released a new album

after 16 years :dahell:



idk if I'll like it from the preview but we'll see



And this was a shock (when it was fresh). I was introduced to them at around the same time as tech death (and prog metal actually), when Crack the Skye was new. Though I wasn't aware that he was no longer in the band! I wonder what happened
