I wouldn't say I'm a metal head but I love metal and I'm too shy to headbanger around anyone... Maybe even myself.
Funny you mention that..b/c I'm the same way with screaming along to songs. If I'm alone, I'll sing along, but I silence myself when the screaming parts come up. I love the release of it in the song, but I feel embarrassed if I scream myself.
I think I'm more borderline with my music, though..where hard rock almost meets metal.
Rawz, I think it was you who was digging Soreption a while back. I got that album recently and really like it. Reminds me of Spawn of Possession.
Yeah, it's good stuff.
I have almost every album on the list I posted earlier. Ghoul's EP is pretty good. I do wish it had more lyrics though.
Earth Diver surprised me. I didn't like Cormorants earlier release, Dwellings, much which was a bummer because of how much I liked Metazoa. But I'm liking Earth Diver.
I haven't listened to much of Autopsy's latest release, so I can't comment on it. Same with Desecresy's release.
That it is! I listened to it twice today. Those guitars are thick and are mixed wonderfully. I listen to the drums mostly but I can't deny there is some great guitar work in Engineering the Void. Worth buying a shirt for this. 🙂
I used to be really into metal as a teenager, my musical tastes have broadened in the past few years. Recently, I've been thinking that listening to metal nonstop back then had a lot to do with why I stayed inside a lot and stayed angry, but then again, I also know that listening to metal made me feel a little better. I never got into the metal fashion, wasn't into anything "new" (post-2000), so finding other metalheads my age was impossible. I managed to go to a GWAR concert 4 years ago, only show I've ever been to, and it was a lot of fun. I used to play every Death album, especially the last 3. Their last one has great lyrics and guitar solos that still make me feel like crying. Death - Bite The Pain - YouTube
I absolutely cannot get into this new Origin album. It's not the same as what I expect from them. They're still talented musicians, but I will have to skip this.
Coffin Dust released their first full length album this year. I wasn't a fan after my first listen, mostly because of the guitar distortion/album production. The guitars sound kind of recessed and lifeless, in my opinion. They just don't quite have the punch/energy/volume most modern releases have. But it's grown on me and there are a few sounds that have gotten repeated listenings. Coffin Dust - This Cemetery My Kingdom live 3/29/12 - YouTube
Good call on Destruction and Coroner. I have most of the Destruction albums, although to me they still lie in the shadows of Sodom. And there's no way I'm picking up The Least Successful Human Cannonball either! :😛:
I haven't spent much time listening to Decapitated's latest release, so I don't have an opinion on it yet.
First time I listened to Blood Mantra I didn't really like it, thinking it was plodding and didn't go anywhere. I have listened to it many times since and I have seen its secrets and I very much enjoy it. 🙂 Give it a go.
