Metal, of the Heavy Variety

Oh RIP, the video in the first post is blocked due to copyright. Bummer. Don't think anyone that isn't into metal would come to this topic anyway so it isn't a big deal but I thought I'd put it there just in case. That's what I get for trying to be all educational and shit. Oh well.



I'm not as on top of newer bands as I used to be, but I think these guys are still my favorite band I've found in the past couple of years.

I picked up a copy of their Evergreen album today...
and its pretty solid.

Nothing ground breaking but solid.

I always found After The Burial's older music a lot more interesting.



I haven't heard their new album besides that song but pretty much everything that followed Rareform kinda delved into mostly being just 8 and 9-string chugs with some melody thrown in there. Don't get me wrong, I love me some chugs, but things have reached a point where that's what most metal bands are doing now and the only ones still doing it in an interesting way are Meshuggah.

Wow...a Death/Black Metal Super group that is actually good.

Morbid Angel worship in the best way possible. Sounds like the Covenant/Domination era which is my favorite.

For many years I turned a blind eye towards High On Fire but after
their recent Grammy win I decided to give them some time in my
headphones.

I'm currently making my way backwards through their studio album
catalogue & after Electric Messiah & Luminiferous I now find myself
listening to De Vermis Mysteriis which is again a dirty, powerful blast
of "redneck sludge grooves" which reminds me a lot of early Mastodon
& Neurosis.

Of course I say early Mastodon...but I should clarify that early Mastodon
was basically that band "aping" High On Fire. In fact if my memory serves
me correctly I believe that 4 (of the original 5) members of Mastodon
met at High On Fire show...which is a pretty cool story.

I find myself slowly warming to High On Fire the more I listen to them
which I will admit is rare for me. Usually its either "Yay or Nay" from the
very start with me.

Surrounded By Thieves is their best work IMO.
