Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
My thoughts are:
I'm about
To have a nervous breakdown
My head really hurts
If I don't find a way out of here
I'm gonna go berserk 'cause
I'm crazy and I'm hurt
Head on my shoulders
It's going berserk I hear the same old talk talk talk
The same old lines
Don't do me that today,
yeah If you know what's good for you
You'll get out of my way
'Cause I'm crazy and I'm hurt
Head on my shoulders
Going berserk
I won't apologize
For acting outta line
You see the way I am
You leave any time you can cause
I'm crazy and I'm hurt
Head on my shoulders
Going berserk
Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!
and
It's not the truth I see
It's just a mockery
Don't need to waste my time
You know I've really tried
You take and never give
Make it so hard to live
I'm hangin' on a ledge
Push me over the edge
Don't do the things you do
Don't have to oblige you
Makin choices on my own
Don't buy their trite or drone
Grow up and be a man
Drop dead right where you stand
I'm hangin' on a ledge
Push me over the edge

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
That's true. I figured a punk thread might draw people who wouldn't otherwise stop by the metal thread, but this thread seems to be unique in its ability to outlive any other music-themed thread.
I'm mainly into hardcore a la Youth of Today and Minor Threat (80s hardcore punk is easily my favourite music 'scene' of all time) but I'm also really into the goth and darkwave stuff birthed by post-punk like Clan of Xymox and This Ascension. Sadly, trying to find darkwave albums as great as Medusa, or Beauty and Bitterness, seems to be a matter of sifting through a whole lot of bland whiffle, so my efforts to dig deeper into the genre have been a bit stymied.
At least I'll always have records featuring nothing but power chords and a guy yelling angrily about how much alcohol sucks to fall back on.
The second set of lyrics went over my head, but I dig the Black Flag reference!

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
Huh, interesting. I was thinking of catching that tour almost entirely to see Kreator. I like Sabaton well enough as a live band, and have seen them on several occasions, but only as the supporting act to whoever I actually wanted to go see.
I might on occasion. My brother plays in a melodic punk band and he points stuff out to me every now and then that I like.
In sadder news, Glenn Tipton has Parkinsons, and it's progressed to the point where he can't play the more difficult Priest songs and has to retire from touring.

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
That is indeed a great loss. I've always liked him best of the two original (that is, from the first album onward) guitar players. It seems he still did a lot on the album, since he was able to not talk about it during the recording. I hope he really will be able, like the band has said, to join for a few songs on their shows

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
I found this out in the same breath that I found out that Priest is releasing a new album this month. It was quite a one-two punch right in the nostalgia.
Yeah, we're pretty chill here. I frequently also talk about darkwave and neofolk and stuff here, so yeah. This thread is for whatever
There's a new Therion out. It's... something. Some sort of rock opera triple album. Honestly I love Therion but I doubt I'll listen to this more than twice. Instead I'll be back at Vovin if anyone needs me.Awesome fremetar by wxdruid.

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
I like Flogging Molly more than Dropkick Murphys as well, though to be fair, I've never seen the latter live. The former I caught at an Irish fest in Ohio many years ago, I was mostly there to see the Old Blind Dogs, but FM put on a killer show! I love trad/Celtic folk, and have been playing with it from an electronic standpoint for ages. Putting a Scottish trad tune as a b-side to a lathe cut 7" I'm having made right now, in fact!

Somehow I missed that both Die Form and In The Nursery had new releases last year. Die Form's was pretty standard fare for them, so really great if you like fetishy darkwave. ITN's, however, was almost a throwback to their early post-punk days, only done with the production skills they've honed over the years. It's amazing!
More on the metal side, there's a new album from The Body out soon, and the track I've heard off it is amazing. My friends Abjection Ritual have a new one coming out on Malignant Records soon too, if you like death industrial.

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
Most of the time, Europe has the greatest shows compared to overseas. However, now i'm jealous:
Tyr + Orphaned Land + Ghost Ship Octavius
Judas Priest + Saxon + Black Star Riders (last band not that important for me)check out my metal band: http://www.facebook.com/Dreamslain

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
I think it was right for them to change the name. Their music isn't that close to the old thin lizzy, and I think the namechange gave them more room to find their own style. I've seen them both as thin lizzy and black star riders, and I think the black star riders show was better
Seems Tengger Cavalry is quitting. I guess the mainman was burned out by the legal battle between their old label and the new. Really sad to see this, even though I think their last album was weaker than the older ones, they were a fun addition to the metal genre

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
Went to the Chicago show last night. They had a different opening act (somebody called Cyra or something, never heard of them) that was pretty good. Kreator went on much too long, which seemed to make Sabaton a bit rushed in the first half of their set.
The mosh pit got a bit out of hand, but the most notable thing was the floor. During the synchronized jumping for Primo Victoria, the floor flexd so much that the mic stands on stage were swinging "like drunken ballerinas". It was a little scary.

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
I think I know who you are talking about with the opening act. cyHra it the band who was actually supposed to open here in Phoenix, but Exmortus performed in their place for some reason. I did some research about them before the concert, and apparently it's a group that contains former members of Annihilator, In Flames, and Rhapsody just to name a few bands.

So, the wife has decreed that we are going to see Metallica when they come to NC, either this fall in Charlotte or in Jan 2019 in Raleigh.

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
I saw them in '85 at a "Day on the Green", I remember that the Scorpions and Y&T also played, and that I wore a too small old AC/DC T-shirt (whom I'd seen at the Cow Palace in '82) and a cast on my arm, and I don't remember much else, except that Metallica seemed the highlight.
My little brother had already seen them at the Kabuki and was a much bigger fan (I was more into the Dead Kennedy's at the time).

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
Come back, thread :C
Not much going on in my side of the world recently. Had a Cattle Decapitation gig recently, which was... interesting. Opening band was a local band called Insidious Reign, and they're actually pretty good.
Anyway. Turns out Gygax has a new album out. it's great. It's proper old-school heavy metal, plus it's D&D themed. What's not to like.Awesome fremetar by wxdruid.

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
I see where Visigoth draw their inspiration from, however, they just don't do anything for me, even though I'm big on old school metal.
Speaking of oldschool, I was given an album by Skullwinx at one of the shops at Hammer of Doom. It was a bonus for us spending so much money, or they didn't have change, or something like that. Anyway, that's an old school band much more to my liking. And a cool way to advertise themcheck out my metal band: http://www.facebook.com/Dreamslain

Yeah me too actually. This one isn't bad, but the first one just felt more fresh I guess.

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
Well that made me physically uncomfortable. I like it Been a while since I heard some new industrial.
New Between the Buried and Me is out. All my friends rave about it, but I've never been able to get into them. I just really dislike the vocals. Doubt this one will change my mind, from what I've heard about it.Awesome fremetar by wxdruid.

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
Just bought my ticket to see Sleep and SubRosa on Tuesday. Stoked!
Also saw Iced Earth and Sanctuary about a month back. Iced Earth was tight as hell, and although no one can replace Warrel Dane in my heart I have to admit that the guy singing for him did a damn fine job with Battle Angels and Future Tense.

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
Some friends of mine hit Sleep/SubRosa in Cleveland last night, and we're appropriately crushed. I had to bail, being a little tapped out on concert cash. I am however seeing Bad Religion, I don't know how I've managed to not see them before.
It's at a beer fest, so let's see if my drunk, out of shape 40 year old self will be smart enough will be smart enough to keep out of the pit.

Haven't really been wowed by Ghost's new tracks yet, but I'll be checking out the new album anyway. They're always good for a laugh (and I mean that in a good way).
So new Kamelot is out. It's very... Kamelot. Not really much more to say about that.
New Messa is also out. Honestly don't know what even to call them (kinda jazzy doom?), but it's really really good.Awesome fremetar by wxdruid.
