Members Gomez_69 Posted December 19, 2009 Members Share Posted December 19, 2009 I was taking a look at this article and got turned on to a couple of great bands. I have been totally listening to Baroness since I saw them in this article.http://www.popmatters.com/pm/column/116964-the-best-metal-albums-of-2009/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EllenGtrGrl Posted December 19, 2009 Members Share Posted December 19, 2009 Personally, I"m looking forward to the release of Fear Factory's "Mechanize" album next month. I've had "Obsolete, since it came out in 1999. then, "Digimortal" came out, and was a big disappointment. Dino left the band, and it folded. The band reformed without Dino, a few years ago, but it's been "meh" at best - until recently. Dino made up with Burton Bell, rejoined the band, and they got Gene Hoglan to do drums. Yeah!! They released a teaser song on YouTube from the new album, and it's in the fine form of the "Demanufacture" and "Obsolete" albums. Here it is: [YOUTUBE]TfekNwxK0e4[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EllenGtrGrl Posted December 19, 2009 Members Share Posted December 19, 2009 Ellen, MECHANIZE has leaked I have it and it is an excellent return to form Yeah somebody blabbed/posted on the sevenstring.org forum today that a torrent copy had leaked out. It's about time Fear Factory got back to the agressive grind that "Obsolete" had. When I heard "Digimortal", right after it came out, it sounded so toned down and lame to me! The following albums sounded so blah to me, that I never even bother to give them more than a listen or two. I wonder of Dino's going to incorporate 8-string stuff into Fear Factory tuneage in the future (as of this time, I think he's only using his 7s), like he does in Divine Heresy. When I tried out a 7-sring for the first time (a Schecter Avenger back in 1999), one of the first riffs I played on it, was from "Securitron (Police State 2000)".

Loved all the old school but the new stuff is just too gimmicky. It's actually cornier than Pop or Hip Hop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EllenGtrGrl Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 Hey, not all new metal sucks. And why do I sense a certain amount of rose colored glassed nostalgia for the old school metal. I've never liked Randy Rhoads guitar sound (no low end beef to it at all - just this shrill, upper midrangey kind "awwwwk!" tone). 70s era Budgie was cool, as was Rush up to the "Hemispheres" album, and a goodly amount of Judas Priest. I LOVED thrash metal (been listening to it since 1984), but most glam metal, and sleaze metal (and that includes GnR) makes me want to barf, with its stupid cock rock; or "get high and get in trouble" lyrics, and crappy, overly midrangey, or excessive amounts of upper midrange guitar tone. There was just as much crap metal, back in the day, as there is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Boy Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 Only metal albums of this year I bought were Endgame and Black Gives Way To Blue. I like them both because I like those respective bands earlier works. But I really haven't gotten into any newer metal bands or albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sylvesterlowery Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 Personal faves: Suffocation-Blood OathNapalm Death-Time Waits For No SlaveAlice In Chains-Black Gives Way To BlueThe Red Chord-Fed Through The Teeth MachineBeneath The Massacre-DystopiaThe Black Dahlia Murder-DeflorateMastodon-Crack The Skye To all of those who are bitching about the current metal out there being crap or whatever, get real. While you may not like all (or any) of the new stuff out there, saying it isn't metal smacks of that retarded high school mentality that gives metal fans a bad name. So you don't like it, big {censored}in whoop. Good ol Cyco Mike (ST) once said "Just because you don't like it don't mean it ain't no good!" Oh, and my two cents on the whole Fear Factory (not that anyone asked).Obsolete was the last "good" album they put out IMO. It wasn't great (though the title track was absolutely sick).Soul Of A New Machine and Demanufacture are both classics IMO, and the classic lineup (Bell, Cazares, Wolbers, Herrera) will always be the best. Not that the new lineup is bad at all (Hoglan is a {censored}in beast!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
