You've never heard Powerslave?

Dude....!

Get him!!!

never heard Powerslave? is that even possible? Eddie shall be most displeased

Blacklisters - Trick Fuck: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJRiGq90gwg

I liked this. That really (audible) bass heavy sound is regrettably lacking in several genres of metal. One of the first 10 underground albums I bought was Coalesce: 0:12, brings me back a bit to that, inaccurate comparison or not. 7/10.

Dolorian - Desolated Colors

mmm yes, yes I'm liking this, I'm liking this a lot, nice interplay between clean and distorted passages, black metalish vocals, very enjoyable 8/10

Mournful Congregation - The Monad Of Creation

funeral doom from my home state South Australia, sorry but I hope you've got twenty minutes spare whoever ends up rating this

I'd accept a Coalesce comparison.

Dolorian - Desolated Colours. Not the Dolorian album I usually grab. These guys are just great. The clean chords get me every time. Oh shit. That rumbling with the hum. And then it just died. This is like an adventure. 8/10.

Igor Cavalera and Greg Puciato - Exit Wound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxUqqiXGcy8

suppose expecting someone to rate a twenty minute long song was a less then brilliant decision on my part

I've listened to that track dozens of times. 10/10 and be done with it.

ok well then trapt mate that song does absolutely nothing for me I'm afraid 0/10

Blind Guardian - Time Stands Still (At The Iron Hill)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aB6CPyO0Ww

I liked the vocals in the bridge of trapt's song, wish there was more of that style of singing in that one.

Anyway, we have here a track from one of BG's more controversial albums, like the guitarwork, of course, and verse singing too, but the choruses here are just too over the top for me. 5.5/10.

My last one for the night.

Neurosis - Cold Ascending
Cleverness made heavy. 8,5/10

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux6v5iIn5NA

I didn't know FotN had covered that old ditty. Quite nicely too though I'm not a big fan of gothic rock. 6,5/10

Not the one to rate next but for those curious to listen to the original version:

King's X

wow it has been a long time since I've heard them, really should dig up some of their material, this one isn't as good as some of the tracks I remember but it's still good enough 7/10

Artillery - Khomaniac
