So one of the members of Autokrator messaged me wondering if I could review their newest album. Looking forward to it.

It's a decent album. My favorite tracks were the first and the fourth ones. Someone recommended them for me via RYM too.

[Hurdegaryp]

The new Doom soundtrack is so metal. Not surprising coming from Mick Gordon, who did the Wolfenstein: The New Order soundtrack.

Its DOOM what did you expect? I for one expected some sort of death and thrash with some more electronic elements. I am happen nonetheless

It pretty much has the same kind of feel of the soundtrack of the original Doom games. It is significantly more original, but that's not too strange given how Doom and Doom II pretty much copy & pasted their soundtrack from a variety of metal songs.

[Impaled Nazarene]

IMO this will always be the ultimate classic death metal song

[Corrian]

I'm going to try and see them too. And Gojira. Aren't you getting those tickets a bit early?

I got my tickets to also see one of my favorite bands, in September, about a month ago. Actually no, over a month ago.

[Corrian]

So what's everybody's thoughts on re-recordings? Not just of full albums but of select songs like Amorphis and Testament have done. Is it ever deserved? What bands SHOULD do that now? And if you ask me both of the aforementioned bands did a great job with theirs, Testament actually improving some songs that had kind of meh production like on The Legacy.

Eh, depends. I know bands that have reworked/re-recorded their own songs repeatedly. Not metal at all, but The Residents have redone some of their songs 7 times.

One I know they've done more than once is Semolina (I like the latter more)

I thought it was Hammer Smashed Face.

[Cosumar]

Holy hell. "Recharging the Void" by Vektor. Most epic song of the year for me hands down. Mind-blowing.

My favorite Death song

I haven't posted on here in a while so uh...

@Kolmya: You never told me if you liked those Electric Wizard songs...

@Jolthig: Check out any more of those suggestions?

@Corrian: You seem to listen to a lot of sludge, mind sharing some?

@Cos: Eyyyyyyy

@Polska: Do you have any deathy kind of folk metal bands in stock?

@Imp: Give me the top two Imp Naz albums and I'll listen to them.

@Gal: Still haven't listened to much of My Dying Bride and BDM, but I've gotten both on Pandora, so some songs by them came up and they sounded pretty good.

@Fascist: I need more Tech Death.

@Cad: Meh.

@Drown: Where the fuck did you go?

[Drown]

@Drown: Where the fuck did you go?

huh

[Calimama]

@Drown: Where the fuck did you go?

huh

I just haven't seen you post in a while.

[Faschist Deutsch Reich]

@Fascist: I need more Tech Death.

I'm the Techdeath master now?

I don't know what the fuck you have listened to, so I hope my recommendations can suit your needs.

First Fragment I posted a link to this album the other day, but I'm not sure if you saw it. If haven't, then I strongly suggest that you check these guy's awesome new album out. Combines insane technicality, solid song writing and vocals that are in French.

Unhuman Once again, I have mentioned this band (and discussed it with some others) and we all agreed that they were fucking insane. Easily some of the best Techdeath out there. Hail Canada!

Alterbeast Great vocal variety, similar to what you would hear from TBDM. Overall it's short, sharp and shiny; 30 minutes of non stop action that's sure to impress.

Hannes Grossmann Here's a bit of an Obscura band for you! No? Bad pun? Ok... they are actually quite similar to Obscura in regards to both their line-up and style. I don't really have to explain much more, because it really does speak for it's self.

Irreversible Mechanism Have you ever wondered what a Metal band from Belarus would sound like? Well, this will answer your question. They released their debut album last year and it was some really solid shit. Kind of sounds like Fleshgod Apocalypse at times with their use of some symphonic elements, except that they aren't over the top.

[Digital Planets]

I just happened to see Manowar's music video for Warriors of the World. It was cool in the beginning, but boy was I disappointed.

Yes. You are the tech master now, all hail 'O Wise Technical God. And uh...sorry about spelling your name wrong.

And fucking amazing, if you're ever curious about what I already listen to, you can always check my factbook for me bands, I update it regularly.

That's Manowar in general.

@Cad: Meh

lol

@Polska: Do you have any deathy kind of folk metal bands in stock?

Sorry to intrude my good sir, but in addition to the obscure slavic bands Polska is sure to hook you up with, I would simply like to remind you that Equilibrium is a healthy part of any extreme folk diet. *tips hat*

[Galborea]

@Gal: Still haven't listened to much of My Dying Bride and BDM, but I've gotten both on Pandora, so some songs by them came up and they sounded pretty good.

Keep working on it.

I just realized the initials of those bands are reversed. MDB and BDM. Well at least they have nothing in common.

[Cadonica]

@Cad: Meh.

What is this supposed to mean?

Yeah, no kidding. I mean, I fucking love Manowar, but holy hell guys, the fuck is up with the videos?

But hey, if there's one thing I learned from the video, it's Manowar: Keeping the leather industry afloat since the 1980's.

Awesome.

That I don't really have much to say to you or ask about? I dunno.

Sure will. The bits of songs/albums I heard off of MDB were amazing, I just have to sit down and listen through whole albums now.
