ooo i like the drumming style. and the bullfrog vocals crack me up in a sinister kind of way.
how do you describe that style of drumming? tight and rolling? good shit anyway.[/quote]
I’d just say the drumming is tight. I still lol at some of vocals I hear, but for the best rather than being turned off by it. I figure vocals in Death Metal is more for the atmosphere rather than actual singing.

Born of Osiris- Open Arms to Damnation
Despised Icon- In the Arms of Perdition
Winds of Plague- Decimate the Weak
the winds of plague song started off so nicely, nice and death-y. i just couldn’t get past the hardcore vocal.
maybe for a change of pace:
ahab: i think they’re classified as funeral doom, but god damn it’s so good. very emotional and crushing and gutteral all in the same song. i’d recommend giving it a fair shake. plus the moby dick lyrics are pretty cool.
old thunder
the hunt - try to listen the whole way thru, i know it’s long. amazing.
melodic death metal anyone?
insomnium - daughter of the moon
dark tranquillity - ego drama. classic melodic death i think.
the wonders at your feet
amon amarth - twilight of the thunder god.
i saw their show at the palladium in worcester… omfg that was amazing. when they started death in fire, and the whole place was screaming, stabbing the air with the horns… awesome. johan hegg’s voice is fantastic.
across the rainbow bridge, maybe the sickest gutteral growl i’ve ever heard. sounds like he’s gargling blood. starting at 1:45. it’s even better with cd sound quality.
If we’re going to bring my favorite BM band Windir thread, then we call it Stri(Battle) Music, since that’s feel I get from listening to Valfar (r.i.p.)
Windir - Stridsmann
Windir - Dans på Stemmehaugen
Windir - Dauden
Windir - Mørkrets Fyrste
Windir - Svartesmeden og Lundamyrstrollet (9min of pure epic win!)

I live in Andover yeah, but I go to school in Boston, and I train in Everett. I go to Total Performance Sports, and I wouldn’t train anywhere else.
…and yes Svartesmeden og Ludamyrstrollet is an epic win

Born of Osiris- Open Arms to Damnation
Despised Icon- In the Arms of Perdition
Winds of Plague- Decimate the Weak
I own despised icon’s “the ills of modern man”, I actually rather like how the instruments work together… The only things I could really do without are some of the all-too-simple slow parts (could just be done better imo) and some of the vocal styles (the more hardcore-influenced stuff… That just annoys the hell out of me).
Still, I nice music for driving etc… They’re definitely not bad at playing their instruments, either.
Haven’t heard any material from the other two bands yet.

Yeah, Despised Icon isn’t too bad. I do actually have all of their CD’s, but I pretty much only listen to them when I work out. They kind of help set the sound for a lot of deathcore bands today, that’s for sure.
Not too big on Born of Osiris, and Winds of Plague is basically a deathcore ‘upgrade’ of something like Dragonforce.
So who received their Fleshgod today? I didn’t pre-order…

I really hope Vogg puts some much needed diversity in the Vader sound, they’ve been stagnant for years.
