[DLG]

Hey Tim, your boy Josh reformed Toxik.

They're recording a new album right now. stoked.

[ALASKA]

FUCK, really? I actually never knew Josh, but Brian Bonnini and his brother Jared used to babysit for me and my brother.

[DLG]

sweet. yeah, it's with the original singer who was on World Circus and the guy from Shadows Fall is playing drums.

I actually have super high hopes for it.

[ALASKA]

do you have their albums still? any chance you can pm me or email me links?

[DLG]

I sent you a PM 'Laska.

Carcass, Gorguts and Revocation all leaked. life is good

[illuminati_guy]

New In Solitude album streaming over at Metal Blade. I'm digging the new direction (Kind of a Sisters Of Mercy vibe) and the fact that they pared it down a bit from the last album. No 15 minute, painfully and unnecessarily long songs this time around is definitely a good look.

One of the standouts from the album, Pallid Hands:

New High on Fire:

I like.

[sleazy_j]

any of yall fucking with that new Oozing Wound?

http://www.thrilljockey.com/thrill/Oozi ... mIeD_msh8F

"Album Previews" are actually full tracks, so you can stream the whole thing there.

it's mostly thrash, if you didn't know.

[DLG]

should have known it's some hipster bullshit considering thrill jockey is putting it out.

[DLG]

for those of you who didn't get to see Cult of Luna live this year

[Mercuthio]

^cool, thanks man.

I dug Vertikal, by the way.

[DLG]

best video ever?

[The Aluminum Falcon]

Shit that's probably the best horror movie I've seen in like 4 years. Whoever this Zev Deans guy is he has certainly grabbed my attention with that shit.

[Mercuthio]

i know nothing about this band, but this is crazy good:

[DLG]

hey guys I made a three hour long mix of some of my favorite metal tracks of the year.

a little bit of everything, traditional, modern, weird, heavy, disgustingly heavy, atmospheric, etc.

happy black friday, paint the devil on the wall!

[Mercuthio]

cool, dude.

will definitely check that out.

cheers!

[odium-LSC]

Nice. thanks DLG. congrats on the baby as well. I'm gonna check that mix out this evening.

[catfish hunter]

didn't bother making any sort of drawn out list this year but was listening to

power trip (best crossover album, sounds like Iron Age on a death metal trip)
carcass (nuff said)
napalm christ (guitar player from rwakes death metal band)
mammoth grinder (pummeling death/grind/crust from Austin)
rapturous grief (2 piece old school grind from Atlanta)
coke bust (straight edge breakneck fastcore from DC, features magrudergrind drummer)
hatred surge (slept on album this year)
iron lung (getting weirder)
ossacrux (think extreme noise terror but from new orleans, hardest hitting drummer around)
final draft (inglewood power violence, sounds like a lost Spazz record)
weekend nachos (these guys are dropping classics, goofiest dudes playing the most pissed off shit)
nails (you can knock Todd fucking Jones, man)
Revenge (Canadian black metal influenced grindcore, just shreds)
bl'ast (vintage hermosa beach hardcore recordings unearthed and given the Southern Lord/Dave Grohl treatment, whatever that means, awesome record)
poison idea (reissues, from the. best. band. ever)
I know I'm forgetting bands but no cares. it's been getting harder to keep up with how much music comes out.

definitely need to check out that Gorguts, Watain, and I don't know what all else I've missed.
