* The Metal Thread *

Bought Animals as Leaders album after seeing that and hearing it. Also, I found the band that the guitarist was previously in, Reflux.

 
Some thin black guy with some rad earphones was above me on the escalator.

Exact height, hair styling as Tosin, the lead guitarist from Animals As Leaders.

I turned to my mate and said, no way, that's Tosin!

My mate was like, who's Tosin!?!

I was like, DUUUUDE! :D

On a more serious note, I'm glad more people are taking a liking to Animals As Leaders.

They need more support, so get plugging them wherever and whenever you can.

I, as i'm sure you guys, want them to be given the recognition they truly deserve.
 
Enjoying the newest Aborym album, Psychogrotesuqe. As a big Aborym fan it's certainly more experimental than any of their previous albums, although you can see it as a progression from Generator in the same way that it went off in a different direction from With No Human Intervention. I mean, it's almost... proggy... ish. Good to see a black metal band take a few risks. Only crit would be the vocals since they're not quite up to par with the previous efforts of Attila or the guy they had for Generator, although the guy doing it is the main songwriter/bassist Fabban so I guess he just wanted to do nearly everything himself.
 
Anyone seen the Bloodstock festival line-up this year? I've gone before and it was an amazing weekend, but the bands announced so far are pretty good so far, featuring Immortal, Rhapsody Of Fire, Morbid Angel, Coroner and Triptykon...

Line up is looking pretty good, although.....

This is the only festival you need this year :P
http://www.hellfest.fr/bands.html (+50 more bands)
 
Ah man, Hellfest is criminally underrated it seems. Wanted to go last year, probably will this year! So many good bands... Opeth, Kreator, Sodom, Ozzy...Priest (before they retire later next year)...the list goes on and on.

Only thing in my ways is my mates will want to do Wacken, regardless of lineup as they always do. Not much exciting me there, except Blind Guardian.
 
Just though id add a metal song, where you can actually understand what they are singing.

Some of the video's on the last couple of pages are just terrible.

As much as I love Metallica, some of us have "progressed" to heavier things :p

So 2010 comes to a close soon, whats everyones Metal Album of the year?

'Whitechapel - A New Era Of Corruption' or 'Bleed From Within - Empire' for me :D
