Jeffro Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Tarja Turunens' swansong (at least with Nightwish). Wunderbar! I agree! Actually,it was your goodself a number of months ago that put me on to Nightwish through this thread.I am glad you did. Since then,I have bought all their cd's and quite possibly the favourite out of all of them would be Dark Passion Play which is the album without Tarja.I think I prefer the new lead singers voice over hers.
Grizzly Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Quite a polarising album when you read others' comments about it. However I think it holds together well as a cohesive whole, and bristles with musical brilliance and restraint. That being said, is it good morning music? The answer is yes!

Brilliant album.. more peeps need to hear Opeth.. sure there is cookie monster growling but once you get passed/used to that some superb music Cannot believe I missed their recent tour I have played Watershed and Ghost alot but everyone raves about this album, so giving it a spin again now.. Edit: Playing Still Life for the 2nd time tonight and prefer it to Blackwater Edited January 4, 2010 by likwidsh0k
RockandorRoll Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 i love Blackwater but Deliverance is my favourite must pick up Watershed one day, they say theres a bit of blues influence showing through
Metalhead Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Listening to alot of Mastodon at the moment. Going to see them at UNSW in a couple of weeks, should be a good warm up gig for them, being the night before they play big day out sydney. Anyone else seeing them while there in australia?

fodderstomf Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 SePulutra -beneath the remAins lp cheap from eBay needed a good clean but it sounds great pressed in Korea I was not sure if it was real but a google and inspection of lp shows it's not a bootleg
Volunteer sir sanders zingmore Posted January 22, 2010 Volunteer Posted January 22, 2010 Not sure if they are strictly metal but you should check out Battle of Mice
whitenoise Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 I love the metal music, you can listen some classics like pantera, metallica, or iron maiden. If you like the new stuff, go for In flames.
darkhorse Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Meshuggah - Chaosphere Cannibal Corpse - The Bleeding And always PANTERA
descant Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 I'm rarely sure what qualifies as "metal", but anyway, this is what's been spinning just now (CD from 10 years back or so) - [ATTACH=CONFIG]22477[/ATTACH]
nickonsound Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Currently listening to: "A sense of purpose" by in flames. And looking forward for the New Dead by april album!
PWilson Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Bump. Cynic - Traced in Air. Have I mentioned how brilliant these guys are? One of my favourite albums without a doubt. All jazz and melody and death and beauty and agression. It's a pretty complex sort of prog-jazz-death album, so not the traditional headbang (though there are moments of it) Sacramentum - Far Away from the Sun. Excellent old melodic black in the vein of Dissection. Stumbled onto this on another forum recommendation and is absolutely what I was looking for. Plenty of picking, plenty of tremolo, plenty of double kick. Immortal - Sons of Northern Darkness. A bit of cold, wintery black metal with some thrash and death influences. Not traditional kvlt black metal, but a good style of its own.
Rex. Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Have been listening lately to an album by a band named Swashbuckle, titled "Back to the noose". I'm quite taken by it. Full on assault-your-ears thrash metal with some great catchy acoustic guitar interludes that mellow things out a bit, sounds brilliant.
Adam Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 PWilson - thanks for the reminder about Cynic! They're a band I love but haven't kept up to date with (saw them at Wacken '08).
S2 13BT Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 The last week or so I've been alternating between 'Disturbed - Asylum' and 'Apocalyptica - 7th Symphony'. Both are good albums, but I've been leaning more toward Apocalyptica. This is the first I've heard of them since they were covering Metallica songs and this is quite different to that.
buzzomatic Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Wow, this thread is slow moving. Atheist - Unquestionable Presence The Obsessed - Incarnate Melechesh - Emissaries
RockandorRoll Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 God Dethroned - Lair of the White Worm
buzzomatic Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Killing Joke - Absolute Dissent Ok, so it's not exactly metal, but it is heavy as ****...
ltmon Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Nightwish got a mention further up the page, but here's Tarja's latest solo effort: No single track really jumps out and grabs me, but they all come together well as a complete album.
sligoriverblues Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 This thread reminded me that I haven't played Sepultura - Roots (Roadrunner CD) in a while! Great album!!!
likwidsh0k Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 This thread reminded me that I haven't playedSepultura - Roots (Roadrunner CD) in a while! Great album!!! Luv the percussion on that album. I gave Chaos AD a spin yesterday, title track is one of my favourites and a killer opening track! AMGA lot of metal fans were left wondering where the hell Disillusion came from upon the release of Back to Times of Splendor. The album, the Germans' first for Metal Blade after an independent debut, blasts off with the eight-and-a-half-minute "And the Mirror Cracked," a busy Dark Tranquillity-style burst of energy that slows down for some power metal (holding the cheese à la Nevermore) and proggy piano before reprising the power chords and dual-melody guitar leads enhanced with keyboards, growls, and clean singing... Thankfully, Disillusion understands what it takes to keep flag-waving metalheads on their toes, the band keeping overwrought bombast and brutality at bay with their big brains, and indeed, the dizzying Back to Times of Splendor will make your head spin, enough so you'll go back and listen again in order to dissect its multi-hued, marbled, ornately landscaped songs. How refreshing.
buzzomatic Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Been on a bit of a thrash bender... Overkill - Horrorscope Overkill - Ironbound Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss Overkill is a new band to me, somehow I've never heard of them.
