Death/Black/"Extreme" Metal

[Juicy Fruit]

Eaten is my fave track.  Been jamming newest Enslaved (like a black metal Opeth), Ihsahn, some Shining.  Also perpetually hooked on Candlemass and Swallow the Sun.

How is he doing without Emperor, haven't given him a try yet...?

Ah good choices! I met and interviewed Swallow The Sun a couple of weeks ago, and bought Aleksi a drink afterwards, they're a fucking amazing band!

Nice! Never met the guys in person but they truly make good music. Haven't seen in a while...I'd better check them out in january again.

I might be flying to Helsinki to see them on the 16th January... which show are you going to?

So i came across with this article and thought the rank was kinda cool, since i realized i had most of the albums, i decided to share. Hopefully some will appreciate.

Okay, I don't even care if it's too early in the year to make the call, but if the first track off of Wrath from Lamb of God is indicative of how fucking awesome the album is going to be it will be one of the hardest to top for 2009.  I listened to it four times in a row and still wanted to play it again.  Love them or hate them it's already badass.

dude, I've done the same. I haven't really been THIS excited for an album release since Dillinger's Ire Works.

Really? Just sounds like Lamb Of God to me.

[oldgentlovecraft]

It sounds more aggressive to me, a bit like Burn the Priest or New American Gospel, and that's a good turn imo.  I've always liked their mix of sounds and genres but the last album, although still fucking good, went more to their Panteraesque, groovy, slower sound.  Not a bad thing, but I was hooked on them when they came out fierce and pissed off.  The new shit sounds like a return and Randy's vocals are getting better.

found this out about the new Lamb of God album. pretty cool

Lamb of God's new album is called Wrath, but a more accurate emotion for the title might be Generosity. The metal band's camp tells EW that the first 100,000 copies of Wrath will include a card directing buyers to a website; after posing a few trivia questions, the site will randomly select 100 winners who get to claim all kinds of loot on a first-come, first-served basis. The prizes sound pretty cool, ranging from personal guitar and bass lessons from band members, a barbecue at your home hosted by frontman Randy Blythe, year-long tour passes, and opportunities to get on stage with the band, to regular old autographed CDs. (The whole thing is called the "Escape the Plague contest," but as far as I can tell there is no provision in which certain unlucky cards give their recipients the plague.)

So, any metal fans looking forward to buying Wrath when it comes out Feb. 24? EW's resident metal expert Mike Bruno says it's pretty cool, even if it "fails to sound any different from all the other LoG records." And for those who aren't particularly into Lamb of God, are there any other bands who you'd like to see reward early CD buyers this way?

[bright lights, big city]

awesome! a nice incentive to actually go buy a cd.

[goldpony]

i know right, im sure the three people who buy it will be very happy
