Yeah, I'm still really digging it. Listened to it a ton when I first got it, went through a brief lull when I thought it wouldn't make it to sustained rotation, now back full force.

My original observation, that it wasn't "as good" as Assassins, is really kind of irrelevant. They're just totally different. And both fucking awesome.

This Zoroaster is pretty cool.

These guys have come a long way. Sounds nothing like Dog Magic, in a good way.

They're underlining the Southern in Southern sludge and throwing some cool psyche and classic rock shit in there too.

sounds good. I havent given it a spin yet because i was cautious after Voice Of Sturn which I thought sucked. I plan to give it a spin tonight.

MT and DLG give that Bastard Noise a spin and let me know what you think.

Wolvhammer- Black Marketeers of World War III

Easily one of the best albums I've heard this year. Great fucking metal from Minnesota. An awesome combo of black metal, crust, sludge and some occasional doom. If you like shit I upload, you're guaranteed to dig this. Don't sleep.

I'm digging this. Good mixture of everything I love. Where did you find out about these dudes?

My homey that promotes shows here in NY put me up on them. He's trying to bring them here soon.

The album was produced by Sanford Parker. The more I hear from that guy, the more I realize I like everything he does. Except his own band, Minsk. They're just OK.

you should really go check out Sanfords band before Minsk. Buried At Sea are widely regarded as one of the heaviest bands ever.

Where does he find the time? He plays is couple of bands that I know of plus he produces other bands. That man is always up to something.

Yeah, bands that are just slow, plodding heaviness bore the shit out of me.

That's the truth, Ruth.

I think Salome is probably the only straight up Doom band I kind of like and that's because they have some fast parts and Kat is such a fascinating creature.

There might be others, but I can't think of any.

jesus christ there is no better live band in the world than gojira right now

damn skippy, i'll vouch for that.

Masked Terror #1 · Post by **Masked Terror #1** » Wed Jul 28, 2010 2:06 pm

Funny, it was seeing them live that turned me off of them.

Couldn't get into how precise and pristine they sounded, especially the drums.

Plus, their Frenchness is harder to ignore in person.

Mercuthio · Post by **Mercuthio** » Wed Jul 28, 2010 2:32 pm

really? i thought the supreme tightness of the band was face melting.

DLG · Post by **DLG** » Wed Jul 28, 2010 2:35 pm

non-tight death metal is pretty much the worst thing ever

Mercuthio · Post by **Mercuthio** » Wed Jul 28, 2010 3:07 pm

pretty much. boringly brutal or technically technical death metal can be very redundant, but if the shit's sloppy... what is it?

I'm talking about the sonics, not the playing.

DLG · Post by **DLG** » Wed Jul 28, 2010 4:07 pm

that's cool then. you're more into the less compressed, fuzzier sound, which I'm down with as well :leon:

, but I have a greater boner for this type of shit that Gojira plays. the precision is bludgeoning, Meshuggah probably still wins as far as that sound goes in a live setting, but Gojira are not that far behind.

any info on what shitstorm sounds like? do they have recordings?

It has become very clear to me in the last couple of months that Torche - Meanderthal is classic status, I'm pretty pissed at myself for not delving into it as much earlier and not putting them in my top 20 of the decade which I ran down last year.

Shitstorm is pretty badass. Rick also drums in Mekhago NT who are fucking gnarly.
