Come on Max, get over it already.... You're the one who chose to leave the band for goodness sake! It's been 20 years since you left and 10 since Igor left.

Can't you be happy with Cavalera Conspiracy? You can't change the past man.

He's the one who's playing Roots beginning to end with his brother and might do the same with some previous Sepultura albums. Would people actually bother if the current lineup of Sepultura did that?

Cavalera is a mess.

I personally wouldn't mind if the current lineup did, but then again, they have/had their 30th anniversary tour.

No matter how many times he jumped da fuck up, he just can't get over it.

This Sigur Ros song honestly sounded really quite metal live

I know a lot of their stuff (That isn't their full on mellow stuff) is heavy rock in general, but this one was probably the most "metal" they get. Glad they played this song live because it's one of my favorites off of Kveikur. No Breinnisteinn, my other favorite (And the two that are probably the closest to metal Sigur Ros you can get)

After watching a recent Coverkiller Nation video I tried listening to Judas Priest again. Yup, still can't stand them.

Swedes love death metal. It reminds them of death.

For the death metal fans: Have any of you checked out Trevor Strnad's Metal Injection column where he recommends a whole bunch of underground shit? He knows some awesome shit.

Saw Scar Symmetry last night!

The turnout wasn't spectacular (a Tuesday night)...but that ended up making it the most intimate concert I've been to. Per Nilsson was shredding mere inches from my face for a lot of the night (first row). Lars Palmqvist came over, knelt and headbanged in-sync with me several times. I think I gave every member of the band at least one fist bump or hi-five. Per played his encore guitar solo IN THE AUDIENCE pretty close to me. Lars also came into the audience and sang with us all during "The Illusionist", which was the set closer. He even put the mic in front of me for a few seconds to sing a segment of the chorus. At the end, I caught one of Per's guitar picks, and later got my Dark Matter Dimensions poster signed by all six members. So even though the crowd was relatively small, it was super energetic with everybody singing and headbanging. You could tell the band appreciated the support on their first headlining tour outside of Europe.

Setlist for anyone interested
Amazing video I got of "Noumenon and Phenomenon" with extreme close-up on the legendary solo

Since it was the final date of the tour, they brought all three opening acts on the stage for "Morphogenesis", which was pretty insane. That and a few more uploads on my YouTube.

Sounds fun. DMD is my least favorite Scar Symmetry album, with Holographic Universe being my favorite. Sorry but Christian ist krieg.

Sounds like we both had good nights.

People are seeing shows while I'm going through my backlog

Just finishing Leviathan's Massive Conspiracy Against All Life. Now that's some Class A black metal.

[Impaled Nazarene]

I found an interesting way to play stoner. Tune a 4 string bass to D# plug it into a guitar amp crank up the gain, bend the strings hard, pluck a string. Stoner

Yeah, it was a good time. Especially since I ended up dragging a couple friends along and having a beer at a show for the first time

Symmetric In Design is easily the weakest one, for me. I would place DMD fourth or fifth. And like most people, Holographic Universe is my favorite.

Trevor sure throws around a lot of names. Always fun to check which bands I'm already familiar with.

Yeah, lots of cool stuff on this list. Thanks for sharing, Gal. Already checking out a few.

I went through the latest seven and the only bands I recognized were Defeated Sanity and Abnormality. Never listened to the latter though.

EDIT: Checked his Top 100 of 2015 and there the breakdown was:

Heard about, but not listened to: Morbid Vomit, MGLA, Hate Eternal
Listened to, but not the release mentioned: Cryptopsy
Listened to: Sulphur Aeon – Gateway to The Antisphere, Sotajumala – Raunioissa, Desolate Shrine – The Heart Of The Netherworld

Iniquitous Deeds made my day. Funny enough, in The Black Dahlia Murder's Majesty DVD which was filmed during their tour for Nocturnal, Trevor actually predicted how in 2016 pig squeals would sound like farting. Just listen to half the crazy slam out now.

The Divine Wings of Tragedy is sooo good so far.

[Corvus Metallum]

Listening to The Anthropocene Extinction, some lyrics of Circo Inhumanitas caught my ear:

"Bring out the children there's still time to
teach them the ways of human slime
to ignore the compassion they have inside"

I'm not sure if this is jibe at religion or consumerist-capitalism...either way, still some of my favorite lyrics of the album.

[Cadonica]

The Divine Wings of Tragedy is sooo good so far.

It is. My favorite album of 1997, Symphony X and probably even my favorite prog metal album of all time. Title track is easily in my top 10 songs of all time.

[Galborea]

New Opeth song is pretty decent. Not as good as Will O The Wisp but still good. I've totally lost any interest in Pale Communion besides the first 3 songs and the last one so still hoping that Sorceress is passable.

Son, get your head in the damn game! It's time for you to stop worrying about new Opeth and instead prioritise on listening to some new Insomnium!

That's ONE song. I'm waiting for the whole album so I can listen to it uninterrupted.

[Impaled Nazarene]

New Obituary album is coming up. I hope it's less thrashy than Inked in Blood. Yes yes i know what you're thinking "Who are you and what have you done with Naz?" I shockingly found that the thrash elements in Inked in Blood made it nearly unlistenable.
