Nick , as we speak i am putting Piece of time and unquestionable presence from my music library onto a CD. Listened to Elements as well yesterday which is super so just need to track down the latest one. Great mind think alike eh mate

In a similar vein i am currently playing No more color by Coroner which is a stonking technical death metal ish progressive album. One of my fave metal bands from the 80's

Must start listening to some of the latter Death albums

Teunis · Sat, 2011-04-30, 11:28:24

Just: Pendragon - Passion (getting better and better)
Now: Gazpacho - Missa Atropos

NP Ihsahn: angL

As you know, I'm a big Ihsahn fan (he's pantheon with me). His music is very complex, and on first run, I havent yet figured this album out, just noticed the advanced lyrics, song titles like Alchemist, Malediction, Monolith, and a guy called Mikael Åkerfeldt singin on Unhealer

I'm confident that I'l end up likin this album a lot .....

Funky, you'r probably the only other Roomie that gets this stuff. Have you heard anythin by Ihsahn or Emperor ?

Alchemist is probably one of the most accessible tracks on the album: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dj4LJX2x52o

I have After and angl but have not given them the time they deserve yet. So much music , so little time

The weather is gorgeous and sunny here but my musical tastes are dark and heavy at the moment. Strange eh ?

3 Excellent choices in Pallas , T Rex and Anathema

Now playing Human by Death and still not sure

It is just not connecting with me.

I will move onto Octavarium by DT and see who that fares

I actually have that album. I played it a few times a couple'o years ago, but it didnt really grip me then. With your recom, Funky, I'l give it another run soon

NP Sparks: Kimono My House (on repeat)

What a marvellous album

I found it at last, after having rummaged in several cd-shops

funkster · Sat, 2011-05-07, 08:42:37

Ironbound by Overkill - proper meat and potatoes metal , no messing around just kick you in the backside rockin ! Sort of Painkiller meets British Steel era Judas Priest if you know what i mean Nicky

funkster · Sun, 2011-05-08, 10:03:01

Blood mountain by Mastodon which after about 3/4 years has actually sunk in and i now understand it!

BS is classic Priest and doesnt do much for me $:-\$

Painkiller is transition, and has the amazing Touch Of Evil

The following Priest albums - both studio and live - are formidable

JP King Crimson: Beat

Great classic album

NP Deftones: Diamond Eyes

First run, so I don't wanna talk about it, but

Anyone else into this group ?

Nicky.

I was pretty much into them when I was in highschool. Since then I moved on quite a bit. What do you think so far? Maybe it's time to go back in time and revisit (and maybe rediscover?) Deftones!

JP: Linkin Park - A Thousand Suns

It gets a lot of slack from LP-fans but I really like this one. After Hybrid Theory it is probably my fave LP-record.

NP: Dredg - Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy

Another band that gets loads of negative criticism for their latest output. They are mostly accused of 'selling out' and for working with a popular producer (Dan The Automator). I on the other hand like this new album for what it is. It sounds fresh and is unique in Dredg's discography but I can see why it may be too big a departure from the 'old' sound for some. Although I don't think 'Chuckles' will end up being my favourite Dredg-album I really appreciate that they are at least trying to do something new instead of repeating themselves endlessly. Big thumbs up for Dredg!

Tom
