Metal, of the Heavy Variety

Haha I passed out for a bit too.

Maximum The Hormone kind of reminds me of Static X. Maybe that's just me.

Yeah I can see the similarities. I'm really into Static X, love everything they did except for two albums in the early 2000s but they came back with their last two. Wayne Static's solo album was great too, really bummed out that he's dead.

I haven't listened to them in a LONG TIME, but I do remember enjoying at least one of their albums. They're definitely not bad like most "nu metal".

I went for a few years without listening to them until the night I found out Wayne Static died, then I listened to the Wisconsin Death Trip and Machine albums back to back, and remembered how much I loved them. They had a lot of industrial influence which ended up setting them apart from all of the other nu-metal bands out there.

Easily one of my favorite songs from any band

Woah, didn't even know he died. Yup, the Industrial influence is what I liked as well.

Yeah, he's been dead for going on two years now. Another one I'm bummed out that I never got to see live.

Pardon the intrusion into your sanctum over here, but besides lurking around these unholy grounds, where dost thou discover new music?

All are welcome.

Honestly I just bounce around recommended videos on YouTube a lot. I'll go to a video of a song that I know I like, and if I don't recognize something I'll go and check it out. I used to use Last.fm a lot too which if you set up a profile and a library it will recommend you artists based on what you listen to.

You can probably also follow some websites like MetalSucks, Blabbermouth, Metal Underground. Just stay away from the comment section lol. There's plenty of forums and blogs as well.

Awesome! Testament is good stuff. Cool to see them still making solid albums. Are you into Overkill?

Yep, Ironbound was fucking badass.

We were talking about Testament the other day and I heard this rerecording for the first time in forever. So good because I actually prefer the late 90s and on Testament sound, plus as someone who wants to get back into playing bass, that intro = <3 <3 <3

 

[Swift]

That bass and riff is orgasmic.

It is. Definitely a song that gives me the drive to get another bass, because I could play it.
