Animal Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 As we started to get sidetracked in this thread, I thought I'd add stuff here, too. Some good metal documentaries to look for are: "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" - A look at how heavy metal has progressed from the early days of Black Sabbath & Led Zepplin, to the crazy world of church burning Norwegian Black Metal bands. "Metal: A Norwegian Black Metal Documentary" - A postscript to the above film documenting the reactions of Norwegian people to the first showing of the documentary and a more in-depth look at the BlackMetal underground. "Global Metal" - This film shows how metal is regarded and expressed in different parts of the world from India to Brazil to Asia. Featuring some good local metal bands in each country and a Death Metal anime from Japan featuring Megadeth's Marty Friedman called "Death Panda" For the nostalgic, you can find on youtube, the 1989 Arena "Heavy Metal Special" documentary with some classic metal madness and the "Heavy Metal Heaven" series introduced by Elvira and featuring the newly emerged Napalm Death & Slayer in the "Thrashed to Death" episode. 2 interesting books to look for are "Lords of Chaos", focusing on the whole Norwegian Black Metal scene from it's inception, and "Choosing Death" which follows the creation of the Grindcore & Death Metal scenes through interviews with the members of Napalm Death, Carcass, Death & Obituary to name a few. The entire Carcass catalogue has been re-released by Earache with additional demo material and a half hour dvd on each disc. Another good buy. Can you tell I'm bored, lol?

heartworm Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Just reading your pas posts, I absolutly love Amon Amarth, there crazy folks. Im not a fan of the new slipknot, or any slipknot really. I tried listening to it but got pretty bored of it. I heard berzerker had really bad sound at damnation, there usually tight live too. Im trying to find some Sigh somewhere but can't find it anywhere, they were fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PhatB Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Why haven't I discovered this group before... Thanks Animal for pointing me this way A bit of random concert memories from me now. I remember seeing RATM at the Barrowlands (1993 possibly) in Glasgow with Tool as the support band, the amount of people I speak to these days that are so jealous but back then that was the norm. I also remember going to see Bodycount at the same venue with, of all bands, Carcass supporting! At that point I was really into Carcass and I remember when they were on stage there was 6 rows of people at the front then a big gap then all the Ice-T fans just standing there wondering what was going on Ah the memories...

marcAB10 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 i've seen TOOL 4 times now, twice with Mastodone as support, very enjoyable gigs. Also went to see PearlJam in the park in holland last year with KOL and Incubus as support, now that was special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Going old skool, bought Metallicas And Justice for All album the other day, still sounds fresh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Yep, last decent album they did, its a pity Lars lost it after that album as he was really doing some good stuff there. I'm currently listening to Entombed "Clandestine" for the first time in ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JamesF Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I really need to get into Entombed. Im a massive old school death metal fan but Ive never been tempted to check them out. Not been keen on the songs Ive heard. Loving Bloodbath and Death Breath at the mo however! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Not heard them (yet). The first 2 Entombed albums are the ones to get - "Left Hand Path" and "Clandestine", seminal early death metal albums, they went a bit weird after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Im really loving Korn at the mo, Clown and Coming Undone are rocking it for me atm. Sepultura - Attitude and Bullet the blue Sky, plus Death - Spiritual Healing and Zombie Ritual, Hatebreed and Defeatist. Brutal tune that is!

Swampy442 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 JamesF, you an Obituary fan? Doesnt really get more old skool or brutal than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'm on the hunt for some old thrash and so far haven't had any joy. Don't suppose any of you have the 2 albums by Morecambe's D.A.M, Human Wreckage and Inside Out by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Success! Found 'em HERE to download. Ahh, Death Warmed Up - classic track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Taken from another forum, in a discussion about the most embarrasing things to happen in Metal... When Norweigians took Geordies dead seriously. I wish instead of titles like "Hvis Lyssett Tsar Oss" or whatever, we'd had "Haddaway Man, Fookin' Preese Seyrtan Like?" made me chuckle.

Animal Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I got the new Cannibal Corpse album, 'Evisceration Plague' and Napalm Death 'Time Waits For No Slave' at the weekend. Absolutely loving 'Evisceration Plague', another brutal day in the office for Cannibal Corpse. The special edition comes with a dvd showing the recording of the album and a look at all the band's gear which is quite interesting, too. The Napalm album is pretty good, 'On the Brink of Extinction' stands out as a top track, the rest is standard ND fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I'm more into the old-school thrash & death metal (as you might have guessed). These are bands worth looking at in each broad genre. Metal: Accept Alestorm Anvil Candlemass (Doom metal) Dream Theater Helloween Iron Maiden Judas Priest Motley Crue Pantera Poison Racer X Rob Zombie (great driving music) Saxon Scorpions Skid Row Twisted Sister Warlock W.A.S.P. Thrash: Onslaught 'Killing Peace' Evile Exodus Anthrax Bonded By Blood Children Of Bodom Lamb Of God Grip Inc Megadeth Overkill Sacred Reich Slayer Slipknot Testament Xentrix Annihilator Sodom Death Metal/Grindcore: Amon Amarth Benediction Bolt Thrower Cannibal Corpse ('Evisceration Plague') Carcass Cattle Decapitation Death Deicide Dethklok Emperor Entombed ('Clandestine' & 'Left Hand Path') Exhorder Iced Earth Napalm Death Obituary Pestilence Terrorizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
