Decibel: the gift that keeps on giving. Kind of like herpes.

― league of women voters, Thursday, 15 December 2011 15:55 (twelve years ago) link
btw that is a link to a portlandia sketch "come to my dj nite"
Obake might be my favorite metal album since Blessed Black Wings, if not The Art of Self Defense

Seeing Napalm Death tonight. Anyone heard their new album yet? Seems like they've been on a roll for the last few.

Whoohoo Dark Funeral/Belphegor/Abagail Williams/Gigan tour coming to town!
― PROVEN BY BOOZE SCIENCE, Saturday, 17 December 2011 17:41 (twelve years ago) link
I was backstage at a Belphegor headlining show (by which I mean I was hanging out in the alley next to the venue), and man, those guys had a LOT of bottles of fake(?) blood. Also one of the band members pissed on the wall right before going in.

New Lamb Of God is really good.
― Doran, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 14:39 (twelve years ago) link
Encouraging to hear that. I was never really a big fan of these guys until I picked up a super cheap 3-disc version of Hourglass and found more to like than I expected.
― shakur rump (I left my login in El Sandboxo), Tuesday, 20 December 2011 14:41 (twelve years ago) link
I always thought they were quite good but this is the first one that's really made me sit up and pay attention.
― Doran, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 14:43 (twelve years ago) link
i liked the first couple of lamb of god albums then they started aping Pantera and i gave up on them.
― Anyone need a (Jimmy Riddle), Tuesday, 20 December 2011 14:44 (twelve years ago) link
I think my dislike stemmed from my first exposure being the "Redneck" video with the tour bus groupies. I was like, man between the song title and this awful video there are two strikes against these guys already.
― shakur rump (I left my login in El Sandboxo), Tuesday, 20 December 2011 14:45 (twelve years ago) link
xpost to Jimmy Riddle, yeah, that what did it, the "Redneck" video made me go, ugh Pantera clones
― shakur rump (I left my login in El Sandboxo), Tuesday, 20 December 2011 14:47 (twelve years ago) link
The solos are pretty whack but everything else is in place I think.
― Doran, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 14:48 (twelve years ago) link
Whack or wack?
or wank?
― Anyone need a (Jimmy Riddle), Tuesday, 20 December 2011 15:02 (twelve years ago) link
Wanky guitar solos > wacky guitar solos

so why do i waste so much of my life not listening to dodheimsgard
― PROVEN BY BOOZE SCIENCE, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 21:38 (twelve years ago) link
because you waste your life listening to dodgy industrial bands of your youth?
― Anyone need a (Jimmy Riddle), Wednesday, 21 December 2011 21:39 (twelve years ago) link
well see dodheimsgard supervillian outcast might be the perfect meeting point there
― PROVEN BY BOOZE SCIENCE, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 21:40 (twelve years ago) link
see when dan comes to visit you, do you let him choose the music?
― Anyone need a (Jimmy Riddle), Wednesday, 21 December 2011 21:43 (twelve years ago) link
Somehow missed that Yob is opening for Tool on their winter tour. I want to finally see Yob but I've never cared for Tool at all.
― EZ Snappin, Saturday, 24 December 2011 00:52 (twelve years ago) link
even if you don't dig Tool I'm guessing just as a guy who digs heavy music you'll feel their live show - this is true with a lot of metal acts for me I find, I can be plenty bored by somebody's records and still be able to get into their show if they're on a bill with somebody I like.
― undervalued aerosmith tchotchkes sold in bulk, Saturday, 24 December 2011 01:01 (twelve years ago) link
I just checked the venue and though they're doing two nights in town both are already sold out. So I guess I don't have to choose this time 'round.
