I know this discussion is a bit old, but who remembers Fear Factory's cover of Cars?

I am also looking at buying Emperor's Anthems at the Welkin at Dusk and In the Nightside Eclipse, now that my love for metal has been rekindled over the past year. I used to have these two albums and along with CoF and Marduk, they were my first exposure to black metal. I love Emperor's sound because it's not just full on banging, their sound is a lot more intricate than most.

i hated fear factory's coer of ted nugent's cars. it really rubbed me up the wrong way.

i used to do a metal radio show years ago, and had the chance to meet fear factory and itnerview them. dino was a right tosser, and refused to shake my hand. from that day forth i didnt give them very good reviews (thankfully the music they produced went downhill after demanufacture anyhow)

those emperor albums are classics, and some of the best in their genre

if you liked those albums, then you should purchase the Emperial Live Ceremony dvd

its fucken awesome

oh and bang your fucking heads to this one

Media Player

Emperor - I Am The Black Wizards - YouTube

Yeaaaaaaaaaah, I love that riff


I see your I am the Black Wizards and raise you a Satyricon - Mother North

Media Player

YouTube

Did anyone ever see the tour doco Satyricon made? It was piss funny, so many classic scenes.

Is that DVD fairly easy to find? Methinks it mightn't be something that Amazon would readily stock.

Good gravy... what kind of arsehole would refuse to shake someone's hand, famous or otherwise? Totally not cool. However I do believe Dino is no longer with FF? Truth be told Demanufacture was the only album they did that I really enjoyed over repeat listens.

I will definitely check out Enslaved btw. readitchaos. The name sounds familiar, I think Full Metal Racket/3 Hours of Power have featured a lot of their material.

Damn, wish I still had a Creative player so I could discreetly tune in to that show and Perth's metal show as well!

The Moor - Opeth

That is some of the best metal I have ever heard.

Nothing will ever top Megadeth for me though.

it shouldnt be too hard to find - mind you i have it on video - ha ha

but yes dino isnt in the band anymore

cryptopsy

lets not forget six feet under too.

^ Hmmm... lots of CD and DVD shopping to do this week, once my new debit card arrives... There's all that stuff to look at, the Emperor DVD if I can find it online and Anjunabeats vol. 6 (to pre-order).

Listening to CoF's Principle of Evil Made Flesh atm... definitely not Dani's best vocal effort hehe but a downright excellent album no less!

Steve89; a good mate of mine, coincidentally named Steve, is a massive Megadeth fan. He went over to Melbourne just to see them at Gigantour and had an absolute ball. Said fellow is also a dark/hard D&B DJ who should be getting a lot more gigs than he does (tis the scene and all, who you know not who you are etc.). If not for him, I don't think my interest in metal would have been rejuvenated in the fashion that it has.

I've noticed recently theres a surpirsing amount of metal stuff on iTunes and Amazon mp3 these days- including some really obscure stuff that would be difficult/expensive to find on CD. Pretty cheap too if you're lucky/clever enough to have a US account!

megadeth made a welcome return to form last year with united abominations - another cracking album. was lucky enough to see them the last two times they have toured. never left disappointed. was great to see christina scabia sing a toute le monde live too

Excuse me for being a big girl but.. I love the metal where people arent screaming
Seven Dust, (dare I say it) Tool etc..

The more heavier progressive type as well..
Lil help? Ta

Gimme screams/growls any day... although My Dying Bride and Primordial both employ clean singing very effectively at least some of the time. Oh and Tool are cool.... you'll never get mocked in metal circles for liking Tool. (just don't fess up to liking Slipknot or other nu-metal tragics or you'll get crucified!).
Saw Sevendust supporting Ozzy but can't say they did much for me.

Sabbathen ist Kreig!!!

Thanks SpaceMonkey

Such a metal noob still.. I'll be watching this thread closely.

Aw Sabbathen

Carcass fucking ruled... I'd be so up for that one but I'll be out of the country

I'm all for metal, but why does it have to be up my a$$?? can't it be in my ears??

You fail at metal my friend.



("Metal Up Your Ass" was the original working title for Metallica's debut album, but they were pursuaded to change the the title and cover to "Kill Em All" by their record company)

Oh, I get it, I just don't want it up my anuth.

Could work for a prostate campaign headed by Newstead though...

I have seen megadeth play in the last 2 gigantours and they have not dissapointed.

I thought Gigantour was Australia wide?

Anyone know the line up for this year? I know In Flames, COB and Megadeth did the American tour....It would be AWESOME to have those bands on the list for G-tour here.

Did anyone in Brisbane catch Opeth on Sunday night?

Holy fucking shit, how the hell did I miss the fact that there'sa new Anaal Nathrakh album out!? I'm litening to the stream on the website and it's fucking awesome, maybe not as completely, face-meltingly nasty as "The Codex Necro", but fucking great none the less. Will have buy this one methinks.

I always wondered if many ppl on here liked metal! Love Darkthrone, Burzum and Isengard. For normal death i could never go past Exit 13 and Brutal Truth - blastbeat heaven..

People into dance music often babble on like it's the most emotive stuff out there but it ain't shit compared to a good black metal track.

this my friend is sig worthy

what a great call

i have to admit, i love electronic music, mainly prog, but nothing quite gives me a raging mongrel like a heavy fucking death metal/thrash metal track!

How many of you guys DJ? I'll pay you $50 if you drop some christ raping black metal during one of your sets. Right before a huge break down, all the munters are jumping up and down then all of a sudden "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" *blast beat*

QFT.Especially some of the second wave norwegian stuff (Burzum, Gorgoroth, early Emperor, Gehenna etc) was just incredibly emotive.

Cheers mate, that is some brutal gear! That drummer could give Mr Roddy a run for his money!
Brutal but still has groove, nice.

Im liking the other stuff to, Primordial

Thank you

I dropped Jesus Built My Hotrod in the 1998 Canberra DMCs, does that count?

i always found it hard to drop any metal into prog sets without people yelling 'wtf'

i used to throw the acapella 'seek and destroy' into the break down of the odd song

Cant wait to hear this tonight!

Lol no shit, glad I wasn't there to hear you try! The only reason I got away droppin Ministry was because it was in a gabba/hip-hop battle set

Btw, your temp account is likely to get your perma-banned dude, you should stop using it.

Hey does anyone else still get their alt and grunge on these days? I'll never get sick of Janes Addiction, Sonic Youth, Mudhoney, ...And you will know us by the trail of the dead, some old glam Motley Crue and Gunners, some new glam like Black Tide, Bullet and some new stadium alt hard rock flavours like Alter Bridge, Mars Volta, Lostprophets, Funeral for Friend etc but I gotta say, the one act outside my usual genres that has always been with me is Nick Cave - I've probably been listening to him now for about 20 years and his musical storytelling only gets more magical with age, I reckon he's probably my all-time favourite artist. Anyone else here dig Nick Cave?
