[Uncle Phatso]

As everyone in this section might allredy know, Devildriver put out their Beast album on Febuary 22. Critics are giving it brutal reviews and praising them for changing up their style yet once again. Blabbermouth, one of metals biggest news websites had a large front page advertisement for the cd along with many many metal news websites having smaller adverts for the album. Dez the lead singer of the band also was on the metal radio show Saturday night scream in Syracuse Ny, promoting the album. He also hinted to a large summer tour, but didn't say ware it would be.

In Devildriver related news, Guitarists Jeff Kendrick and Mike Spreitzer new all guitar website has taken off with a large bang! They have the Allaxess website running in full force, bios, real guitar videos, and even lessons! Go check it out and the new video posted by Periphery on the website going down the list of their gear.

In metal news that I feel the need to report today, In Flames finally...... Made it official that Niclas Engelin From Swedish band Engel will be joining them to replace Jesper Stromblad on their second guitar. For the past two years he has been touring with them as a back up for Jesper who was fighting alcohol addiction and left in 2010.

In the most brutal of news this week, Motorhead officially has a day in 2011 Decreed after them. March 8th 2011, today is now official Motorhead day in Austin, Texas. They will be performing in Stubb's bar-b-Q. In related news, No one officially received a day off for that Mayoral Decree. I would like to state that It is against my religion to work on any day named after Motorhead. That will be all

[The Bearded One]

I just found this song today, and already I am loving it. The motorcycle revving is actually in the song on the CD.

[YOUTUBE]sStNYq0swXY[/YOUTUBE]


The band is The Showdown, and they are just rocking out here. I definitely get some hints of Metallica here and there, especially during the clean lyrics. Great song.

And Scruff, are those the Bellas?

Holy shit! The Showdown!!!!! I used to go see these guys all the time back around 2005-2006. They played here like six times a year for a while. I used to jam to their first CD all the fucking time with my friends. I wish 2005 could just be on repeat, it really was the best year ever.

I guess I need to make a musical contribution to this thread as well. Let's see what I can do. I'm more into hardcore than I am metal, so forgive me if I post something along those lines.

The Ghost Inside-Unspoken

I absolutely love this song. It's a party song all the way and me and my friends jam to this whenever we're just driving around. I love the message of this song, too. It's just a good old-fashioned hardcore song that the whole family can enjoy.

[YOUTUBE]g1aBGM12TeQ[/YOUTUBE]

My favorite hardcore band is easily Comeback Kid. I've liked this band since I first heard them back in my early days of high school. They released their fourth album, "Symptoms + Cures", late last year. I finally got to see them live for the first time in January and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Seriously, if this band comes close to you, go see them.

This is my favorite song off the new CD.

Annnnd to day in metal news brought to you by Uncle Phatso's reading of Blabbermouth.

Vader probably Poland’s second most hated band right behind Behemoth is in the Studio Recording their new album Welcome to Morbid Reich. The band entered Hertz studio in Bialystok, Poland a few days ago to lay down down about 12 or 13 tracks. Mixing and mastering is set for May with a tentative late 2011 release. Vader will debut a few songs from the cd in their summer Festival tours.

Mastodon's new live cd, Live at the Aragon is now in stores. The cd is a playing of all the songs off their last album Crack in the Skye. I got the cd a few weeks after it came out and was impressed. I picked up a few of the songs played in the new live cd on youtube and let me tell you it's top notch stuff guys.

Jesus Christ monkey balls Gojira, One of my favorite bands right now will most likely blow out my ears for about the next year to come. They are putting out a new live dvd called 'The Way Of All Flesh From The Inside'. The whole album is nothing less of a masterpiece. They are also putting a bonus section in the dvd of their soon to be put out Sea shepherd EP that they went in studio in November for. On top of that all, the sneaky bastards have also been putting together a new album!!! What the hell Joe Duplantier, don't drop all this stuff on me at once! Well right now they have about half a new album all wrote out and are working on more.

Gojira entered a Los Angeles, California-area studio in early November with producer Logan Mader to begin recording a new four-song EP, the proceeds from which will benefit Sea Shepherd, an anti-whaling organization. The EP will feature appearances by several "very special guests."

Co-Host of that metal show Eddie trunks new book Eddie Trunk's Essential Hard Rock And Heavy Metal release date has been set for April 1st, 2011.

Metal rules!!

Metallica is said to be releasing an album this or next year. Looking forward to it. Their own Kirk Hammett will be on "That Metal Show" tomorrow.

I don't like Avenged Sevenfold, but their new album is changing my mind.

 

[Uncle Phatso]

@Evanescent Deth, Don't let one album change your mind. They are the same band they were years ago. Expect more of the same untill they finally fall apart.

Well for all that haven't seen the news yet. Gibson put out a list a few days ago of the top 50 metal songs of all time. I think honestly that list will change alot within the next twenty years. I won't argue that the people on the list all diserve to be there, but alot of the artists have way to many songs on it. I would rather not get into an argument over this so here is the list.

He's a really great guy in many ways, but it's important that everybody can get along. If they don't, it affects a lot of people."

He continued, "We've lived with this for many years, and it's really sad that things are the way they are. I wish they weren't."

Let me start, by saying it is downright sad that Phatso is the only one posting in here.

I haven't posted in here in a long time, so I'll just recap my love for In This Moment, and All That Remains. Both of their new albums that came out last year are amazing. ATR really should be a lot bigger than they are. One of the best bands in the metal scene today, with the best vocalist.

 

[Uncle Phatso]

Just a real quick post here. Over the last few months I belive I've posted a few times on Behemoth's lead singer and guitarist Adam "nergal" Darski. He was diagnosed with Lukemia last august, and in late december he underwent a bone marrow transplant. With a few complications, and in true metal fashon I am now proud to announce that Nergal has been fully cleared to tour with his band now!

Here is what he said about touring again this fall.

Commented Nergal: "I'm proud to announce that we've just nailed these Polish leg of the tour! Fans from abroad, please be patient, Asia, Australia, Europe and U.S. are under working. I'm beyond excited! I wanna see you all out there!"

"We just decided to play some so-called comeback shows in Poland just to warm up and see how we feel, just to be onstage again together. And I really hope that it's going to turn out great and that it's going to cause other tours and stuff. We have plans until the summer of next year. We already have some cool offers. We're talking to our agents. There's some really, really cool ideas. I don't want to reveal anything yet, but once we're done with October shows, and we feel good about it, and there's chemistry onstage, we definitely want to continue the 'Evangelion' touring cycle. There's still some markets we didn't even touch. We've done over 100 shows so far to 'Evangelion'. We're going to do another 100 at least, and then we can focus on the next record.

"To be honest, we can't wait to hit the stage again. I'm so fucking anxious. I'm so excited, so psyched about it. I have dreams about coming back onstage. I dream about BEHEMOTH shows. It's insane, I know, but I can't tell you how much it's a relief to the band and how much it means to us."

So I would just like to praise Nergal for being one tough sob, and still being their for the fans. This shows that even though they are most likely Polands most hated band, but they still love their fans.

Down they come, The swarm of locusts.​

[YOUTUBE]2jGZJxnJk-4[/YOUTUBE]​

Lyrics:

Spoiler

Sweet caress
Grazes my skin
It's loveless
These hooks sink in
Behind an angel's disguise
An insect preys
Mandibles cut like a knife
A reckoning

Forming clouds
Their shadow shrouds
Louder the tattered wings they sound
Descending down

Down they come
The swarm of locusts
Skies above
Converge to choke us
Feast of souls
Consume the harvest
Young and old
Suffer unto the locust

Surrender
These veins are bled
Devoured
Nothing sacred
Strings pull the marionettes
See how they dance
Upon the winds that beget
Our pestilence

Forming clouds
Their shadow shrouds
Louder the tattered wings they sound
Descending down

Down they come
The swarm of locusts
Skies above
Converge to choke us
Feast of souls
Consume the harvest
Young and old
Suffer unto the locust

Bleeding from my eyes
This plague is sent to erase us
Bleeding from inside
These vermin can't infiltrate us

Faith appears and holds a candle
Hark the angels sing

Forming clouds
Their shadow shrouds
Louder the tattered wings they sound

Tear the veil
The lies derail
Purity ever will prevail

Trumpets sound
The shattered crown
Halos of truth now they surround
The charade comes down

Down they come
The swarm of locusts
Skies above
Converge to choke us
Feast of souls
Consume the harvest
Young and old
Suffer unto the locust

Personally as a fan of allmost all things metal, I fucking love this song! It's just amazing, and the 4 year wait for 1 song was well worth it. A cd will follow, and I'm sure it's going to be of allmost godlike quailty. But this song is our focus atm.

With the growing trend of more "brutal" metal, this song was a total turn around from that. Most newer bands today seem to want to Go the more "brutal route". That being, Heavier growling, Faster allmost unrecognizable at times drumming, and crummy fast guitar playing. I am a fan of a few of the new age of bands. But this song has none of the forementioned qualitys.

The drumming is crisp and hits you like a bullet to the chest. It fits the song just right. The Double bass isn't overused as it tends to be in todays metal. But enough and just in the right spots. As usual we had the allmost mindmelting guitar playing/solo's that you can basically allmost allways count on.

But for me I've noticed somthing from frontman Robb flynn, he is a great brutal growler. But he is focusing on his range and Vocal control? Yes, and that's what makes this such a great song. It's brutal, but it is also somthing that is completly in a controlled fashon. I hate songs that are now over using gutteral growls throught the song. Some bands you have grown to accept with that type of frontman. But it seems like the winds of change have brought us a large group of fresh green singers that just want to growl.

I am personally happy as a lark at this song. It's amazing, and I look for Machine Head to win album of the year with this song. IF! They keep up the quality, and keep the album on it's due date. I look for Mastodon to keep up with old form and be a heavy frontrunner in that lane, along with hopefully Devildriver to make a top 10 vote.

Opeth's new song: "The Devil's Orchard" from their new album "Heritage"

[YOUTUBE]Gr1IGSKd4u0[/YOUTUBE]​

I'm not sure what to think about this one. I don't even think that goes to progressive label, it's almost avant-garde music. They have taken a further step to a new musical direction. This song has everything but at the same time nothing like I have ever listen to. Like Akerfeldt said,

"Heritage", "I never heard music like that, so I can't compare it to other bands. If you want to compare it to another band, it has to be us. But still, it's different.

I'm pretty shocked, I'm not sure what to expect. I think I need to listen a little more of "Heritage" before make any statment about this record.

What about you metalheads?

 

[Dalek Rising]

That new Opeth song sounds like a more technical and crazier Amorphis. I'm with you, I'll have to hear more of the album before I decide to like it or not.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

I ever so often decide to get away from all of the wrestling talk on the forums and stroll on out to the music section. There are, occasionally, a few threads worthy of attention such as the album suggestion thread but most of the time the music talk on here is about stuff like Taylor Swift, Muse, Lil Wayne or whatever else is mega-popular with the kiddies and topping the charts these days. But there always seems to be one thing lacking on here, and that is METAL.

Is it just me, or are there any "metalheads" in the Wrestlezone Forums? I sure hope so, because I seem to get alot of heat when I mention metal bands in other music threads. I know im not alone, but is there anyone else with me on Wrestlezone?

So, if youre a metalhead and you got a voice jump in this thread!

What are your Favourite Bands?
Favourite Classic Albums?
Best Albums of 2009?
Best Shows You've Been To?
Are You in a Band?

Anything and everything Metal and Metal-Related, lets have ourselves our very own Wrestlezone Moshpit!

haha im not a "metalhead" persay but i enjoy heavy metal music like Killswitch Engage,Metallica (i count them) and Hollywood Undead (even though there more rap then metal but still a good mix) im not in a band as i have no musical talent at all but i went to a metallica concert before it was pretty awesome and KSE is pretty good in person also

 

[Uncle Phatso]

Gojira
Of Blood and Salt
[YOUTUBE]yBB5W2nQ8Ms[/YOUTUBE]​

I've said it for a long time, in here and in other places. This band is one of the best bands, lyrically and on the instrumental side of things I've ever had the pleasure to play. Many bands though in others eyes are better, and some bands in my eyes are better than Gojira. I have no problem admiting this, but what I love so much about the band is the growth.

From the ep's I've found on the web and Terra Incognita to this song today. Gojira has grown into a band that commands respect. They have grown into a band that is allmost in a legue of it's own, and they have done it basically on their own. Terra Incognita to me was their heaviest album, in metal terms. But it didn't offer the total package like The Way of All Flesh and From Mars to Sirus have. All their albums have evolved past the album behind it into what we have today.

But if this new song is any hint to the direction the Sea Shepherd Ep will be... I imagine it will be off the charts into a new direction of heavyness. Of Blood and Salt is heavy on a level that Terra could only wish to be. It's not just Fredrik or Devin, it's the whole band. Devin Townsend's vocals on this song blow it out of the fucking park. I'm not a huge fan of Devin, that is my taste. But Devin along with Joe are just spot on with what the song is trying to be.

Fredrik Thordendal..... Jesus christ sir. The guitar playing isn't something revolutionary. But his playing has helped make this song a great fucking song. I believe Gojira could of put somthing out like this on their own. But this one song is heavier in my eyes than the whole last cd they put out.

I'm way late on posting this, it's not that I didn't want to. I just didn't get around to it, but if you like metal this song should peak your intrests.

 

[This Is My Name Thank You]

Let's see, I listen to Heavy Metal and Metal and thats mostly all. I listenin to Lamb Of God, Soilwork, In Flames, Dimmu Borgir, 40 Below Summer, Bleeding Through, Hatebreed, Mudvayne, Hell Yeah, Slipknot, and omg way more. Trivium is kick ass two and new album In Waves is also good...

I have seen many bands live and the best bands I have seen live would be Korn, Disturbed, Slipknot, Hatebreed, Trivium, In Flames, Gojira, All That Remains, damn I seen a lot of bands come to think of it. Mainly due to Mayhem Fest which I missed this year.

Best Albums Are I have way to many, Every Pantera, Slipknot, Hatebreed, MushroomHead, Soilwork albums are good. I only listen to music I like so i buy what is good to my ears.

An no I'm not in any bands wish i was but I have no talent's for instruments. So I just listen to it.

 

[Uncle Phatso]

For fans of Devildriver and Lamb of god this might be a small bit of news to perk your ears at. I am a large fan of both and was quite excited by reading this. I've allways liked Dez's lyrics and music and Mark Morton is no slouch in that area either. Good news all around

Spoiler

DevilDriver vocalist Dez Fafara and Lamb of God guitarist are writing new songs together.

Through a series of Tweets on both of their personal Twitter pages, the musicians revealed that they have begun working on new material together. "So, it's still totally off the radar, but @evilriver & I have been writing a bunch of KILLER tunes! Not sure when or where it'll come to lite," said Morton via Twitter on 9/8. In another Tweet, Fafara compares the music to Circus of Power meets 'Badmotorfinger' era Soundgarden. Morton also cited Chicago doom masters Trouble as an influence on the tunes.

I really think this can be a huge thing for both men and whoever they chose to play this music with. If they go through with it, it can be a new sound for both guys. Not as heavy as the usual songs, but still a good bit of news. I expect it to be heavier than what we are getting hinted at, but you never know.

 

[Remy LaCroix]

I'll give this thread a shot...

Has anyone been to one of the recent stoner/sludge metal band Weedeater shows? They're touring right now and will be in my neck of the woods next month! I'm super-stoked!

Spoiler

[YOUTUBE]9F21xidkqPM[/YOUTUBE]

Sludgy goodness!

 

[Uncle Phatso]

I looked at the band you posted earlier in the night. I went through about 5-6 songs, can't really remember. But it's an alright band, it's not the most technically sound band. But I imagine if I was smoking it would be a rather nice buzz enhancer. I typically listen to High on fire when I want some Stoner metal, I think Weedeater would fit in pretty well with them. Not the same sound, actually not even close. But still a good band to look up if you are into the Genre of metal.

Anyways man, have fun at the show if you decide to go see it.

 

[alex_002]

This band is so good

[Remy LaCroix]

I heart drone and doom metal so much. Screw "technical" music, the sheer awesomeness of the sound makes up for it. It's hard to describe how I feel about this music.

One of my favorite Sunn O))) tracks that got me into the genre. Very catchy and simplistic.

Just got the latest album, "Heritage," from progressive death metal veterans Opeth. No longer death metal, but a fantastic progressive rock album from these guys. 10 tracks and just under 60 minutes in length, so its a shorter album for them but most of the songs feel long, which isn't exactly a bad thing in this case.

Its definitely a weird and interesting change in sound from Opeth but "Heritage" is still a great record worth checking out.

Opeth - "Heritage" for fans of: Opeth, Rush, Porcupine Tree, King Crimson

New Scar Symmertry is really good along with new Staind. I say this as I used to be a huge fan of them back in the day and this album is amazing. Staind new cd is self titled.

Slipknot percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan has announced via their official website and a secret, embedded 666, that they have launched a new "people=shit" website. The website is a one-page image and flash compilation that features a picture with hidden conten.

The legendary Iowa metal band plans to release a 10th Anniversary Edition of their 2001 breakthrough album, Iowa, on November 1st.

"For the past year, we've been hearing non-stop about how the Knot needs to come to South America. Literally on a daily basis. For the past month, these same maggots have been hitting us up counting down to Saturday's show on a daily basis. When art can equal that kind of desire, you have God. We can't wait to throw down with you. Get ready. Hail the maggots. Hail the Knot." -Crahan said

So some cool news from the Slipknot camp, I'm not a huge fan of the band. But I know alot of people are. So I figured I would post this up after seeing it on facebook. Anyone have any comments about the 10th anniversary edition of Iowa?
