Pull Harder, Ascendancy, Like Light To The Flies, and Dying In Your Arms were about the only songs I could stand from Ascendancy. I've listened to The Crusade all the way through nearly 10 times since yesterday if that tells you anything about this album. đź‘Ť

Not to burst your bubble here, but I was actually listening to Between The Buried and Me's cover of Cemetary Gates (sp?), and it completely sucked! I deleted it after. :crazy:

Well, usually, covers aren't a good thing to start with. Try getting the songs I suggested.

I've only heard "Detonation" from their new album. It sounded exactly like Metallica (I swear you could've swapped Hetfield for Heafy and no one would've known).

But I suppose, if Metallica can't deliver a good new album...

I got the same impression from the album. It's not really outstanding, but it is decent.

Actually, "Detonation" is the only song I don't necessarily like on the album. I just don't skip because it flows from the first song. When I first heard it a while ago (when you could download it from the RoadRunner site) I too thought Matt heafy sounded just like Hetfield.
 
If anybody is interested in more melodic death metal, check out Scar Symmetry. The singer does both death and clean vocals.

Here's the Bio from allmusic.com
Sweden's Scar Symmetry was founded in 2004 by vocalist Christian Ă„lvestam, guitarists Jonas Kjellgren and Per Nilsson, bassist Kenneth Seil, and drummer Henrik Ohlsson -- all of them veterans of numerous prior heavy metal bands (Carnal Forge, Centinex, Altered Aeon, Incapacity, etc.) -- whose diverse gamut of styles ultimately influenced the new project's own eclectic sound. Presented to the masses via 2005's Symmetric in Design debut album, Scar Symmetry's material combines death and power metal with progressive flourishes, drawing positive comparisons to bands like Soilwork and Into Eternity, and promising great things yet to come.

However, now, they have a 2nd album out.
 
I acquired it yesterday, haven't heard it yet, though.

Time Attack
Jag panzer anyone?

To be honest, too 80s for me. Not because I've never listened to them, which I actually did (during the 80s) but newer bands have a better/fresher sound and when I want to listen to older metal I'll just get some Metallica or similar.

Hmm, I'll have a look for some of their stuff. Although Metal Archives has average reviews of them (then again, a lot of melodeath bands I love have average reviews there...).
 
A lot of the reviews on that site seem to be very harsh. It's near impossible to view the site for more than 5 minutes without getting a headache either. :crazy:

Wow, I've just listened to them. It sounds really good. I'm listening to Symmetric in Design reminds me a bit of Opeth in the cleanness of the er... clean vocals and the harshness of the death ones. I've noticed some songs have three different sets of vocals; does the same singer do the third one as well? Clean, death grunt and death shrill?

Very impressive, to be honest. Too bad the longest song is below 6 minutes, I think they could go further. Thanks for that Road Dogg

From what I read on myspace, it seems that it is the same singer for all three "styles."

I agree about the length, I think it would sound a bit more polished if they made the songs longer.

I'm glad I was able to contribute at least one band.

I guess I just like the 80s sound every now and then.

I've been listening to Mercyful fate a lot recently. đź‘Ť
 
Have any of you guys heard of Warmen? It's Janne Warman's (keyboardist from Children of Bodom) side project. Most tracks are instrumental, with only a few guest vocalists on each album. If you're a fan or Janne, or a fan of power metal in general, you might wanna check them out.
 
Bumping up the thread... I just have to say something...

Scar Symmetry is 🤬 awesome! I've been listening to them a lot lately... almost killed myself listening to them on the highway and singing along :lol:

Great find roaddogg

Dimmu Borgir aren't really my cup of tea. I've tried listening to them a couple of times and can't get past 2 songs, to be honest.
 
Dimmu borgir is pretty good imo... Stormblast was pretty good anyway.


I suppose this isnt really the thread to discuss Rammstein but They are just so awesome... Herzeleid is a great disc.

I'd have to agree. I only like a few of their songs.
 
If any of you can get over the Killswitch Engage-styled voice, there's a band called Borknagar, who have said voice but also clean voice, similar to Fear Factory. The album is called Epic (2004).

Hmm...I'm listening through Tool's 10,000 Days and I'm glad I am. It's actually very enjoyable.

Yea Yea!!:sly:

Tool is the bomb man, my favorite band. If you like 10,000 days then you'll probably like Lateralus or Ænema (< Best Album ever!!!).

My first tool cd was 10,000 days, and I had to get more. So now I got all or them except opiate wich was their first album.
