All those 2014 posts will work just fine for this.

Who do I listen to more? King/MF. Who is a technically better, more influential, better rounded vocalist? Obviously Halford. Hell he could've been a crossover artist if he'd wanted to. Didn't he do a Christmas album? But in desert island terms I personally would take the Burning the Cross demo over ...

For sheer repugnant horror, nothing will top "Lisa." All the other Chick tracts are Garfield strips compared to it.

That writer at the link summed it up best: "Is ANYONE going to prison?!"

Huh. And there was a three page thread on it here too. No idea how I missed that.

Sarcofago - INRI Darkthrone - Goatlord Gorguts - Colored Sands Immortal - Battles in the North Tiamat - The Astral Sleep To boot, after stumbling upon some crap quality live footage of a disappeared band I used to love, Epoch of Unlight, performing songs I'd never heard before, I politely nudged the...

I would add The Furor's Impending Revelation to any 2014 lists. Totally ripping, along the lines of Begrime Exemious or Axis of Advance or whichever black/death metal hybrid you please. http://thefuror.bandcamp.com/ Also Artificial Brain and Pyrrhon are getting lots of plays. And seconding Domains, ...

deleted til I get some kind of confirmation on this, ugh something something mercyful fate rabble rabble Yeah I think that may have been a typo or some kind of glitch where a tour info site misidentifies an artist. I don't know how realistic it would be to expect King to perform back to back sets o...

re: opening band

Emmure are the fine gentlemen who brought you this merch:


The merits (or not) of this article notwithstanding, Emmure is one of the worst bands. I like the occasional lunkhead shit but I'll take slam death over ... whatever the hell Emmure do.

I've so gotten into the habit of shopping distros that now I've got to retrain my brain how to shop for specific titles. I've both yearned for and dreaded this day.

The blinking of the cursor, it mocks me.

Complicated. While all of these singers are responsible for some of my favorite songs, and while they each have their strengths and flaws which make any decision a matter of weighing pros and cons, swings and misses, moments of grandeur and moments of cringe, I think I shall say...

John Arch.

I remember reading an interview with Karl Sanders where he not really jokingly said Thin Lizzy was the secret repository of Nile guitar leads. There was always something about this breakaway in "Smashing the Antiu" that rang familiar, generally, not specifically. He wasn't kidding! http://www.youtub...

That Malthusian is pretty cool. Sounds like the sort of thing Dark Descent would put out -- which would be nice, as I don't have a tape deck. Speaking of Dark Descent, the single from the upcoming Thantifaxath album is out of this world. http://noisey.vice.com/blog/thanifaxath-song-stream And speaki...

It's wonderful how many band names, or names that sound like they're already band names, you can assemble from that list, in the very order they're listed. Night Fall Hate God Fire Storm Shadow Demon Pain Eternal Eternal Dream Chaos Flesh Cult Goat Rage Terror Terror Force Fear Stone Christ Steel Ro...

I absolutely love it. I suspect many will not. Further, I hope the rest of the album is as schizo as that song. There's so much going on in that short duration. Also, I'm hearing some kind of keyboards throughout that post-2:06 part after the mellow interlude, right? I asked that at metal-archives a...
