The Metal Thread

[Big Ewis]

hey rats, in stead of insulting ppl, d'you listen to Fetus' "Reign Supreme" ? I've given it another go, superb stuff. Typically DF, enormous production compared to their past stuff, some HUGE moshparts and thiiiiick powerchord riffage, and the quality and ideas are top-notch in a few instances, better constructed songs too for them, and the album makes for a very good play throughout. Some very solid Fetus.




That killer grin-provoking DF vibe.

Not really.... I really enjoyed Descend into Depravity, but Reign Supreme was too sterile for me.
No doubt there's a lot of good hooks, but it didn't hold my attention.

I might give it another listen at some point.

I've got the official Descend... tab book which I transcribed into GP if you want it.

 

[Big Ewis]

haven't got into that one quite yet, trying to engrave "Reign" into my brain first. I remember lsng to Descend when it came out and thought "nah, nothing new in there, no point". I may've been harsh, will check it out very soon. Thanks though.

Beneath The Remains and Arise rule my life.

 

[Big Ewis]

still got my Arise t-shirt from ye olde days. I was wearing it once and some dude in Montréal in philosophy class who was sitting behind me started singing "I see the world...old...I see the world...dead !" I turned around and cracked up. Excellent record, which is a rarity in thrash (albeit deathrash). Not the best song on the album though there. Oh and my band and I used to play "Desperate Cry". Fantastic track for a live show, got the Qatar crowds very excited lol.

May have just snagged an interview with Tomas Lindberg.

 

[ratsapprentice]

...let's just hope he doesn't come across as too.... cold.
Apologies.

There are a few records I'm about to catch up on, actually... haven't listened to anything new for quite a while!

New Disentomb - the vocal production is really wierd, but pretty sick other than that.


New Septycal Gorge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7u4E7INqjo

New Unmerciful demo: http://www.unmercifulmusic.com/

 

[Peat]

Yeah. Got the interview. Anything you guys reckon I should ask?

Also got the new AtG album. My life, ees good.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ask him which is his favourite festival he's played, and why it's Bloodstock

 

[ratsapprentice]

Good luck with the interview, man... and ask him why d-beat sucks so much balls.

Also started listening to this:



Not quite as good "Sorrow and Extinction" thus far.

 

[Big Ewis]

brutal

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Haven't noticed these so far, slightly different style to what's here.

First new AtG track for a long, long time...

 

[Big Ewis]

^ not very good, but brilliant prod and no selling out. Slightly better than what I could've imagined...but they really didn't try hard, played it safe as fk. This is like a mediocre track off Slaughter of the Mole. Writing a song like this is easy as shiit, 15min done...but not horrible to lsn to.

 

[Peat]

I knew you'd feel that way :lol: It grew on me a lot. It's a slightly odd choice to represent the album tbh, because a lot of its pretty removed from SotS. In a lot of ways its like an updated With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness. But then I might be fanboying hard.

fanboying hard much with many lots, indeed

 

[Peat]

fanboying hard much with many lots, indeed

Eh, you can't say that for sure until you've heard the full album

 

[Big Ewis]

no, but I just really really wanted to accuse you of that !!

Am currently trying to digest the new Cannibal. Always feels like they've finally become bland on the first lsn, until I play them again and realize the album has potential. So far, the weakest since Gallery fer meee.
