Metal Reviews

Aeturnus - And So The Night Became

man this is fucking GREAT nice changes of tempo and melody, hurt slightly by the plodding piano section but still a solid 7.5/10

Darkthrone - Kathaarian Life Code

From Frenchman:

Motorhead--Dancing on Your Grave

Good sound, good vocals, great guitarwork all around, main solo a highlight for me. Don't care for the structure of the song, but that is my normal complaint for this style of metal. 6.5/10.

Will let someone else answer Relentless Oblivion's track.

no fair someone beat me to the punch

Darkthrone - Kathaarian Life Code

A fucking classic. 10/10. ERHEHEH THIS DERRR TRUEEE FACE OF EEVILLL

Cool, I think. The first half I was embrassed my roommate heard it coming from my room, but the second half was very cool.

7/10

Holy Terror - Tomorrow's End
Shit sound, ace band, great tune. 8,5/10

Slo Burn - Pilot the Dune
Good one Frenchman. Love Kyuss, love this too. Good stoner song.
7,5/10

Actually, that's one I'm covering in a stoner band I recently joined.
It's even better to play it than listen to it.

Cool.

Nonexist - Ebony Towers

opened well before moving into a plodding riff that sucked any energy out of the track, combine that with weak harsh vocals and you get a 4/10

Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY5WEJ-tiC8

Not the crappiest Iced Earth I heard but still typical IE... I don't like the guitar sound, I don't care for the singer and the thing actually bores me. 3/10

Judas Priest - The Rage

9 / 10

Some classic Priestage.

The Howling Wind - The Mountain View

started out almost funeral doomish, slow and atmospheric before launching into the uptempo melodic section with those typical black metal vocals one expects to find, it does enough to work for me but I've heard better 6.5/10

Bathory - Born For Burning

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

Bathory have had their moments, this is not one of them. The riffs aren't bad but never change much. The vocals are some Cronos throwback everyone could do without. Overall, this is bad. 3/10

Frenchie's song

dreadful sound quality, then again it's to be expected of a live video shot via camera phone (or at least that's my assumption) and even with the sound quality taken out of the equation this is just boring, sounds like a Muse imitation and I HATE Muse 1/10

Absu - Stone Of Destiny

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHCO20A5gzE

For the riffs being so great, the vocals piss me off on this track. That high scream just does nothing for me. But I could see why you like it RO.

Trapped Under Ice - Time Waits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Glitxx-tRU

what do you mean by that Trapt the riffs are awesome so I can get past those admittedly weak vocals

by the way nice song 8/10 may have to dig into them a bit more

Carnivore - Predator

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwkhjcFy6b8

You like clean vocals and so I figured that was the one Absu track you liked or something silly like that.

TUI is mad awesome. Music to break stuff to.

Other Carnivore tracks hold a more special place in my heart, but it's all awesome shit. I love the d beat vibe juxtaposed to Steele's vocals. The dude was a beast. The gory sorta breakdown is awesome. 7/10

Car Bomb - Third Revelation (with Joe-jira): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZzskgUA9Vw

I like clean vocals where they fit the music, think over the last few pages I've posted Darkthrone, Immortal, Bathory, Absu, and a couple other black metal bands that escape recollection, then Iced Earth which Frenchie hated, still can't believe he hated on Bathory but meh

ok your song, not really my thing man, just randomly chaotic but I didn't hate it either 6.5/10 but yeah not something I'd listen to

Obituary - Gates To Hell (because Obituary are my favourite death metal band ever)
