Welcome to the new metal thread for all your hesher and headbanger needs for another several months!

FROM THE DUST RETURNED
Our own beloved autothrall's review blog, in which other thread members occasionally appear.

AUTO'S LISTS
Wonderful, painstakingly made lists. Need music suggestions? Slake your thirst here.

Hark! These be the rules! Heed them well or you shall be forever cast out of our circle, your only redemption will come in the form of returning to us with a new album from Wintersun. Ha!

Some basic guidelines for people just joining up with us:
  • we know that dethklok are the brutalest
  • we know that Dragonforce are the noodliest
  • we know that Opeth is some craaaazy shit, dog
  • we do, in fact, not look down upon Between the Buried and Me
  • we do, in fact, look down harshly upon Killswitch Engage
  • finally, we know that nothing good can come from the latest Morbid Angel release

We even have how-to-videos on babysitting while retaining your Hesher credibility.

    There were some, but I'm not sure that they ever made it to the OP in the last thread. I know there were a bunch of lists in FtDR for 2010; maybe just copy them in?

    Sorry.

    To be fair, I've only listened to one of their albums (As Daylight Dies) and absolutely despise their most recent selftitled album.

    Luckily, I'm good with the other guidelines in the OP, so I think I'll be OK.

    That's better.

    @Morg - I want a Black Metal babysitter. However, this person must be fueled by satanic hatred for all life just to keep up with my 2 year old boy and my 4 year old boy.

    Those two grind nearly any babysitter to dust (including me), which in this case would end up as Death Metal babysitting - still good, but Zombies fucking stink (including me)!

    I'm not understanding. Why would non-metal be false? I mean, is pop false? Jazz? Reggae? Blues? Classical?

    Or are you simply referring to the trashy mallcore garbage most people mistake for metal because there are guitars involved with distortion turned on?

    I like the black metal babysitting. I think I may do something similar with my daughter when she's old enough, but not old enough to articulate to her mother that we built a popsicle stick church and then lit it on fire.

    They are in fine form, I think. Tom is sounding great on vocals. I'm kinda bummed I probably won't get to see them with Jeff at the end of the month. But alas... I think it should be a pretty sick setlist. Hoping I get "Black Magic" and "Antichrist".

    Played a show on 4 hours notice today. Opening for Curse of the North. They didn't even say hello when we rolled up. Didn't watch even a little of our set. There were five people there, all of whom left when we were done. Lesson: be courteous at small shows. Hope they had fun playing for the bartender.

    New Deathspell Omega EP.

    EDIT: So it turns out, not new, but from the split a few years back.

    Glad for the thread title change. I appreciated the reference in the other one, don't get me wrong, but it was a bit of an eyesore.

    Also, Moradin's Ancient Stone and Mystic Woods is nice atmospheric black metal for folks into stuff like Moonsorrow, Bathory, Immortal, Winterfylleth, Wodensthrone, etc.

    And they're from Canada and named for a Dwarven god!

    Fucking shit. That tour isn't coming anywhere near me! I'm probably not going to see it. I wish I lived in Louisville, then I could see it tonight without Children Of Bodom!

    I thought I saw a date for Ohio on this tour, but I see now that is just a Skeletonwitch + Obscura show, no Septicflesh or Devin Townsend. However, I hear from the local promoters that there is a 50/50 chance of Devin Townsend doing a show in KC sometime in the next couple of months. It also sounds like October is going to be a good metal month in KC, hopefully I actually get to go to some damn shows.

    You dudes on the East Cost are definitely getting treated though, because the tour is mostly going to be in your neck of the woods, like 10 shows or something *jealous*.

    Now I am just annoyed, thanks Tav! ;-)

    Edit: Looks like there's a big hole in Septciflesh's tour schedule since they aren't doing any shows from July 20th - Aug 10th. Hopefully, they'll add a KC tour date in there as well and we can get Devin Townsend and Septicflesh!

    guh Bodom tour isn't coming here, but Opeth and Katatonia are, so that's ok I guess. Haven't seen Opeth since um... Damnation tour I guess.

    also The Sword is coming with Kyuss. I don't know anything about Kyuss except that they have something to do with QotSA I think?

    Katatonia put on a great show if you like the last four albums. Opeth are ok but the lighter stuff doesn't really translate well to the stage. I'd still fucking love to see that tour though.
