Creepia Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Violated are great. Never listened to any others. Anybody listened to Jericho's podcast with some of metal stars on it? He's had Zakk Wylde, Mustaine and Scotty Ian so far and all of them are fantastic interviews. Mustaine sounds like such a laid back guy and Scotty sounds hilarious. They both share stories about Cliff Burton which is very heart felt :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fried Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Agree about Sepultura, I remember liking Arise in the early 90's but lost interest in them after Chaos AD. If you're interested in old Brazilian stuff check out the releases of Cogumelo Records who, along with the early Sepultura, released a lot of classic Brazilian stuff. http://www.metal-archives.com/labels/Cogumelo_Records/45 Not on Cogumelo but been listening to these guys a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadwing Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 New Electric Wizard announced Visually intoxicating, uncompromisingly heavy and revered for making music and lifestyle one,ELECTRIC WIZARD will release its eighth full-length album, "Time To Die", later in the year via Spinefarm Records. Says ELECTRIC WIZARD founding member Jus Oborn: "All of our albums in the past have had a theme — revenge, drugs, black magick — and the theme of this one is death. Of course, death to us really means rebirth, so this album is a manifestation of a very primal occult belief in the final sacrifice. "We have gone full circle — it was inevitable, but we had to do it. We had to kill the band so we could be reborn. It was the only way to ensure we could come back even stronger." The artwork, once again created by Oborn, is an extension of that theme; this is further solidified by the LP gatefold image, which will be revealed soon. Formed by vocalist/guitarist Jus Oborn in 1993, ELECTRIC WIZARD — based in the U.K.'s South-West — has thus far released seven studio albums — an increasingly influential body of work recorded on vintage analogue gear with as little technology as possible intruding on the signal ("Pro Tools is for pussies!").Result: some of the heaviest, dirtiest, most evil-sounding audio ever put to tape, and more importantly to vinyl, with both "Come My Fanatics" (1997) and "Dopethrone" (2000) being lauded as landmark releases.A cultural as well as a musical force, ELECTRIC WIZARD has left an indelible mark on a host of different genres, the likes of doom, stoner and sludge; at heart, however, they stand as an iconic British metal band, cast in the great tradition, with lyrics and artwork reflecting the hypnotic weight of the music, and subject to the same intelligence and detail.Wreathed in occult ritual and drug-culture references, with classic '70s horror an inspirational seam, ELECTRIC WIZARD is poised to turn a page; there's the new deal with Spinefarm Records, plus — after a nine-year hiatus — the return of Mark Greening (the drummer on"Dopethrone"), who completes the lineup of Oborn, American guitarist Liz Buckingham, a key member since 2003, and new bassist Clayton Burgess (SATAN'S SATYRS).Fueled by strong emotion and the harder sounds of late-'60s Detroit, the remodeled lineup — isolated by choice, giant stacks glowing red — set about crafting an eighth studio album to both rival and exceed the milestone recordings of the past, with Buckingham keeping things suitably monolithic and the band generally looking back to some of their earliest influences.Toerag Studios in London was once again charged with capturing "The Sound," and (encouragingly) words like "raw", "hateful" and "sickeningly heavy" are being traded.ELECTRIC WIZARD is: Jus Oborn - Lead Vocals, GuitarLiz Buckingham - GuitarMark Greening - Drums, PercussionClayton Burgess - Bass . http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/electric-wizard-time-to-die-album-artwork-unveiled/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fried Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I forgot that old demo tapes might not be the most popular thing here. I'm not a fan of the BM video clip, it always seems a bit goofy to me, but here in the tradition of 'Call Of The Wintermoon' is Arckanum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZmHho8ZEPI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fried Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'm well aware that maybe this is not in the right section. Acclaimed Icelandic filmmaker Ragnar Bragason (Children, Parents) directs this darkly comic drama about a grief-stricken young woman who adopts the persona — and decibel-blasting predilections — of her deceased brother.There are some things you never get used to. That's certainly the case for Hera, the heroine of Ragnar Bragason's Metalhead. As a young girl she witnessed the accidental death of her brother, Baldur, a long-haired heavy-metal devotee. She promptly remade herself in his image — wearing his clothes, and listening to and playing music at earshredding volumes — as an expression of her grief, her anger, and a reminder to her parents that they haven't really dealt with their loss. Still, as the end of high school and the arrival of adulthood looms, her acts of rebellion no longer satisfy her the way they once did, and Hera begins to act out on a larger, more destructive scale.Told with compassion and insight, Metalhead never condescends to its confused, angry heroine, nor does it glibly justify her actions. (Bragason is very aware of how adolescence isn't exactly the most balanced period in our lives.) All Hera has to call her own are her emotions and her right to reject things. When her parents show understanding (or don't respond at all) it only exacerbates her situation. But leaving isn't an option — that would be like turning her back on Baldur.Like the ghostlike sounds that creep into Hera's metal recordings, her grief is almost supernatural, a force of nature. One could say something similar about lead actress Thorbjörg Helga Dýrfjörd, who dives fearlessly into the tempest of emotions. She and Bragason are aided by a strong veteran cast, including Ingvar E. Sigurdsson (Angels of the Universe, Jar City).Tough, clear-eyed and compassionate, Metalhead is a touching film about a tortured soul who hasn't been — and may never be — able to let herself off the hook. Looks like a very interesting film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Sounds cheesy and emo as *Censored*. Cant there just be a film about a metalhead that just likes metal for what it is and partying and going to shows and thrashing out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly is metal? Why is the stereo type a socially inept guy living in his parents basement? Might be in America, but all my friends and metallers I know are just normal people with a love for the music. We all have jobs or college or have things we're passionate about.
