Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
MFW it's been eleven years since I made the second ever metal thread. It's neat to see these are still going. You know what I miss my dudes and not-dudes? Shows. I saw Overkill shortly before the world got locked down, and I've been aching for some serious live thrash.

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
I'm pretty bummed about the Aether Realm/Paladin tour getting cancelled, especially with Aether Realm's new album being so clearly written with a live setting in mind.

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
I also miss shows. Now, Norway has mostly been able to keep things on lockdown, so I hope to be able to organise a small outdoor show in june or july. But it will be really small, with a cap of either 50 or 100 people, depending on what the municipality will permit

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
I was supposed to see DragonForce in March. Now I'm just hoping for a rain check instead of a refund.

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
It's been interesting to see the different responses to the crisis, and the ways people are getting creative with streams. A friend of mine does a weekly show; mostly him chatting with another friend, some live performances and interviews, some pre-recorded videos (mostly experimental electronic stuff). The Gothicat festival has been put together a few good video shows. A couple other friends of mine did a neat one; three bands, switching between songs: https://youtu.be/QfB2lp08EnA I've done a couple myself; experimenting with pre-records because as a solo artist juggling sound/video and interacting with people is a little tough. The last one I did with a three camera setup (cell phone and tablet, really), edited sort of like a music video, and then live hosted chatting between songs (and typing during). Sort of looked like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVdPkTkfua8
But really the thing I like the most is more people are tuning in to this sort of stuff (myself included). I don't think this will or should be the be-all/end-all of what music is to become, but I'd like to see more, and more people getting creative with what can be done in a streaming performance.
My last real show attended was Wovenhand and OM, so a pretty solid one, even as disappointing as some of the cancellations have been.

For "good things that have been around for a while but I had never heard of": Riot's Immortal Soul (Heavy/Power). The youtube sound really doesn't make it justice, however.

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
I really liked Apex, it's one of my favourite albums ever. Let's see what they make this time
A general audio question: can anyone here hear the difference between FLAC and streaming services like Amazon and Spotify? I'm not talking about HD streaming. I personally cannot notice any improvement, even with headphones.Originally Posted by J.R.R. Tolkien, 1955

Re: Metal thread IX: Metal To The Pedal To The Other Metal
I can, but not always. I mostly notice it on songs that are very dense and/or loud, such as Screenshot by Swans; About halfway through on the Spotify version, a lot of the underlying instruments sort of muddle together and start buzzing, even through good headphones. With my FLAC file for the song, though, I can pick out any of the dozen or so layers and follow it through the whole track. It's honestly almost 2 different songs.
