Metal Heads Assemble!!

[aaron]

yup. I fucking love the Deftones. I just found an awesome Deftones shirt last month. And BD is right, their 2012 album was excellent.

Deftones are savage.

Chino, their lead singer, is working on a new project called "Palms" with former members of Isis. I wouldn't say what they have released so far has reached the levels of awesome that Isis and Deftones reached individually, but they still have a nice sound going on. I just hope Chino decides to rough it up a bit on some tracks, with those deep Isis chugs.

Also, Team Sleep is kinda cool, if you want even more Chino stuff.

i REALLY dug the palms stuff that i heard. very much sounded like isis playing white pony, which i can totally get behind.

Exactly! Its like the trippy ambient Isis stuff had a baby with White Pony.

I want to hear what it would sound like if the heavier aspects of Isis met Adreneline in a few tracks though.

It's a mix of black metal and power metal. The two sound great mixed together.

Satan's Host does something similar. If I remember correctly, it has one of the early members from Jag Panzer.

Huh, Amon Amarth, Skeletonwitch, and Enslaved are doing a tour through Atlanta in January. I love Amon Amarth and Skeletonwitch but haven't ever listened to Enslaved. Any recommendations for which songs or albums to check out?

I like when they started to get weird, so I think I'd go with anything from Mardraum on up. IMO, they're definitely an "album" rather than a "song" band, so keep that in mind.

So basically check out anything from 2000 and later? How is their latest album, RIITTIIR?

Couldn't tell you about RIITTIIR, the last thing I listened to from them was Axioma Ethica Odini. (Good, btw.) But yeah, anything 2000 and later is pretty sweet. I hear Isa gets a lot of love.

Unsurprisingly I think their older black metal albums are the best:
Hordanes Land (released as a stand-alone EP and as a split with Emperor)
Vikingligr Veldi
Frost
The Forest Is My Throne / Yggdrasill (split with Satyricon)
Eld

Though I don't know how much of that material they play live anymore.

Stuff I've been listening to recently...........


Primitive Man - Scorn
Now this is how I like my sludge. Ugly, brutal, negative, and uncompromising. Awesome band name too.


Mütiilation - Vampires of Black Imperial Blood
Classic second wave black metal from France. Loving the archaic and otherworldly vibe from this one.


Cathedral - Forest of Equilibrium
Seminal doom metal from the UK, on Earache Records. I just wish that they had continued playing this style of music instead of turning into a lame stoner rock band.
