 | Hawks Its been getting better lately. I appreciate you bro! And DAMN CONGRATS!! That is awesome buddy!
|
| Hawks Life has not been easy over the past few months bro but managing day by day. Hows it going with you??? Always great to talk to you buddy.
|
| Hawks Hell yeah my man! Keep in touch!
|
| Hawks Great bro! Had to give you a shout since I started coming around again. :]
|
 | Slex https://mega.nz/file/ce9mRQiR#qvfxYlqXtLCKZCRQrfSzadjSXW3njTWCcMe-qIngeYw
|
 | pizzamachine My god am I jelly. The closest I got to meeting him was talking with him on rafans.net, I even did a cringe text interview with him about the Black Sheep album lol.
|
| pizzamachine Great review bro. Anywho, leaving Sputnik for forever lol. ?twas fun talking to you.
|
| pizzamachine Let?s both review it haha, maximum exposure to good music
|
| pizzamachine Oh yeah no, I love it man, it sounds like Duality and the more soulful cuts from Black Sun. Definitely heavy on pop but I love good pop so......... win win
|
| pizzamachine Yup, has a modern touch but it?s still classic Ra imo
|
 | OmairSh Yoo dude I think you might enjoy the new Fates album, or at least some songs off it (Shuttered World, Way Home, Longest Shadow) https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/82357/Fates-Warning-Long-Day-Good-Night/
|
| pizzamachine Yeah he's their new singer. :] Love the song, definitely sounds like Ra. Speaking of which, Sahaj is saying there's gonna be new Ra at the end of the year. Hope it happens, I miss my Ra lol
|
 | Nazzadan Hell yeah Erang rules. Still so much material I need to go through
|
| pizzamachine I know right? Sounds like some Duality level quality!
|
| pizzamachine Oh yeah, I meant to say that there's gonna be a new Ra this year. I accidentally did a question mark lol.
|
| Hawks I know that's right, good to hear from you buddy. :]
|
| Hawks Gmork what's up bro! I'm good man just living life ya know, how's it going with you?
|
| pizzamachine Yeah it's amazing! Supernova really needed a redo imo, and the new Do You Call My Name is crazy good.?? I just wish they refixed Sky too
|
 | Sowing Yeah don't think we have so hi =) I love Matchbox 20, would you equate the two?
|
 | xxm No problem.
|
| xxm I love your profile, Gmork. You've got great taste and a great way of expressing yourself.
|
| Hawks You gotta go under user ratings bro.
|
 | DarkNoctus really, REALLY like it! been obsessed with all things devin lately, heh!
|
 | judasgoat Thanks! Someone seemed to have gotten to it before me though. Haha. I think there's more songs to come, though, so I'll make a news post when I see it if no one beats me to it. And yeah, Secret Sciences rules.
|
| DarkNoctus because i don't want people to take my opinion seriously. plus, it'll invariably be compared to my own music, which i don't want.
|
 | BigHans Hell yeah man, stoner rock brofist
|
| BigHans I discovered a total gem today. Jam this if you haven't. Riffs hard. http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/25633/Spiritual-Beggars-Ad-Astra/
|
| BigHans Thanks for rec bro. Inveigh said I would love the music part of it but hate the vocals. Will have to give it a shot.
|
| Hawks Not yet bud, I haven't been jamming much metal over the past two or so weeks so I'm waiting until I'm in the mood then I'm gonna jam the new album hard.
|
| Hawks Hell yeah bro, more money is always a good thing lol.
|
| Hawks It's a pharmacy tech job which is what I've been doing for 4 years only I'll be getting paid way more haha.
|
| Hawks Thanks bro! I'm pretty pumped about it hahaha.
|
| Hawks Same old s*** bro. Just got a new job so I'm waiting to start and just pretty much been bulls***ting in the meantime haha. Sick as a dog right now though which sucks so hard.
|
| Hawks What's up brotha? Haven't talked to you in a while.
|
 | CalculatingInfinity Yep the lyrics are ****ed, album took a few listens for me to adore like I do due to how odd Kyo's vox are but damn I love it. Another bit of trivia every song on the album has a music video (which is insane), so if you ever want a visual element there you go :3
|
| CalculatingInfinity Don't forget the limited edition of Unraveling either, that 15 minute version of Macabre needs to be heard.
|
| CalculatingInfinity For me DSS is the clear winner, album is almost perfect to me for too many reason to fit in this shoutbox. Biggest grower ever. Also if you're gonna give Gauze a try I suggest reading this review before you do, really helped me appresate how good the album is: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/65515/Dir-En-Grey-GAUZE/
|
| CalculatingInfinity Also if you haven't watched the uncensored music video for Obscure which is on Vulgar, watch it right now. Best music video ever and song rules too:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoYxPXqGb18
|
| CalculatingInfinity Dum Spiro Spero, Arche, Gauze, Uroboros=The Unraveling, then Marrow by a massive stretch. The rest I haven't listened to in full due to fan being a fan on my past attempts.
|
| CalculatingInfinity I'll be honest in saying I'm not a big fan of their middle-era, however I say that's a great place to go next. It shows the true beginning of their middle era where they're making the transition to western influenced material with alternative metal. My personal ranking would be this if it means anything:
|
| CalculatingInfinity I suggest checking more Diru then just Arche and Uroboros ;) (despite both of them being ****ing superb).
|
| Hawks ****in slays bro, that was one hell of a rec hahaha.
|
| Hawks You actually really got me interested bro so I'm gonna check Uroboros right now. m/
|
| Hawks Hmmmm that def sound interesting. I'll let you know what I think. ;]
|
| Hawks I'll let you know what I think when I jam. :] What do they sound like?
|
| Hawks Will do bro, I'm bringing on black metal again atm though so it won't be right away lol.
|
| Hawks Can't say I've ever jammed them bro, I've always known about them though. Should I czech?
|
| Hawks Newest Agalloch took a while to grow on me, but I have it at a 4.5 now. Dig it even more than Marrow now for sure.
|
| Hawks Hell yeah new Amorphis is amazing. But idk bro I'm still digging Enslaved and Agalloch's new stuff.
|
| Hawks ****ing right bro. But yeah there's been some good stuff the past couple years. I haven't jammed a lot of albums from this year though compared to previous years haha.
|
| Hawks You really gonna start posting again or are you actually ****ing with my emotions....? ;]
|
| OmairSh No problem man. Yeah a week between the European and NA release just doesn't make sense. If you liked Coal then you'll probably like this. It doesn't have as many crazy moments as the previous albums, the band focuses on writing solid songs. And it's a grower like all Leprous albums.
|
| OmairSh Hey Gmork, I hate to admit it but I got my paws on a leak a few days ago. I'm waiting for the digital copy so that I can buy it anyway (there's an amazon link that band shared, but the payment is in Euros so I'm still waiting), but I just couldn't wait any longer :-P. Dam the record label for releasing it so late in NA. I can share the link from where I got the album if you're interested. But I'm guessing you probably could have found links on your own :-P
|
 | discovolante Oh! And of course, you will probably like Glay and Spitz as well!
|
| discovolante Hmm... well, if you like the catchy pop-rock side of Japanese music, I know some bubbly pop rock bands you may be interested in lol. Judy and Mary, Blue Boy, Whiteberry, Shazna, Cascade, Mr.Children, Iceman, Hysteric Blue, The Screaming Frogs and Shonen Kamikaze. Hopefully this will somewhat tame your Japanese pop rock craving! lol.
|
 | bloc I hear ya, there seemed to a be a lot of disappointment with the last album and while I myself wouldn't say it was a disappointment I do agree it's their weakest and the album I spend the least amount of time listening to
|
| bloc I know right? It's REALLY good
|
| DarkNoctus didn't like it much, felt it was really samey and what i liked about mv ii was absent (that being the great lead riffs and harmonies). ]:
|
| Hawks Damn man those were the days. I haven't been active on the site in months. Miss this place and all the bros.
|
| BigHans Yeah came back a week ago or so, m/
|
 | Apollo Right on man thanks! Btw have you heard the newest Daylight Dies?
|
| Apollo Good to hear man, see you've been jamming the new AIC, I haven't really listened to it too much, you recommend?
|
| Hawks Living the dream just like me I see lol.
|
| Apollo Hey dude! Nice to hear from you! I'm doing well, working insane right now. How about yourself brother?
|
| Hawks Not a thing bro. Just been working a lot. How about you?
|
| Hawks You need to make a permanent comeback god dammit!
|
 | tiesthatbind Good to see you dug the Tremonti album too. It was definitely great to have new material from him inbetween AB albums.
|
| DarkNoctus monolithe - monolithe iii comes to mind [:
|
| DarkNoctus gmork! :] things are okay! a little boring around here but i get by. how are you?
|
| Hawks Haha I feel you. That happens to me every once in a while too.
|
| Apollo Yeah man, I'm down, I'm terrible at music software/recording though, do you know anything about it? I'll do some research about cheap gear to connect to my laptop and such this weekend. I should get your email too, mine is Peter.C.Kennedy@gmail.com
|
| Hawks That's good to hear. :] But yeah, I stopped listening to new stuff from last year and then crammed a bunch of albums in at the end lol. You should listen to the Xanthochroid album I reviewed a couple weeks ago. I think you'd like it. Check out my end of the year list too just to see what you haven't heard. I know like a lot of the same things.
|
| Apollo That would be sweet dude! I'd love to play something like that. I don't really care what I play to be honest, I'll play just about anything these days, just want to start jamming again haha
|
| Apollo Not a whole hell of a lot brother how have you been? I'm busy with work and that's about it. Getting my Gretsch cleaned up and looking for a new band to start playing with. How about yourself man?!
|
| Hawks Awww s*** I'm really sorry to hear that dude. It's always tough to lose someone close to you. :[ But at least you got a job and your girlfriend to keep you busy/distracted. And I've just been working a lot and hanging out with friends. Might try to get back into school in the near future. Nothing too exciting at all haha.
|
| Hawks Bro....long time no talk! Where the hell you been?
|
 | LilLioness Indeed, I am. I am one of a few that I know of that actually consider him their favorite artist (a lot of people on Hevy Devy forums list him between 3-10). That being said, I am not really feeling Epicloud, which makes it the first album since SYL that I am not really loving. I do, however, like the video submission thing he has going for "Lucky Animals".
|
| LilLioness I have seen quite a bit of sexy sexies in my time, but Devy jumping around with that hat on (bunnycore?) takes the cake. :)
|
| Apollo Sorry for the late response man! Been listening to a wide mix of stuff actually, everything from Aesop Rock's newest to The Ghost Inside, Katatonia and even some pop punk stuff
|
 | InvertTheInverted Wow. Well, that's probably the worst possible time to use that line. You can't get over it. Whatever.
|
| InvertTheInverted You don't know me, you don't know Rest, so stop saying stupid s*** like we should be banned. There is absolutely no reason for it. You don't like us? Get over it.
|
| Hawks I'll do that as soon as I can download music again bud. My computer is all ****ed up haha.
|
| Apollo could complain but noones listening haha nah, just looking for work more than 8 months after I lost my job and aside from that just damning a lot of doom and post-metal lately, what have you been listening to dude?
|
 | ANJ45 I ****ing love your icon lol bunnycore FTW.
|
| Hawks No problem at all my man. Also, if you're looking for some great hardcore from this year, listen to the new State Faults. It's amazing.
|
| Hawks Also, definitely get on the new Wodensthrone. Forgot about that one. The new Drudkh is awesome too, but I feel like you've probably already heard it lol.
|
| Hawks I'd say listen to Pneuma by Hail Spirit Noir, By the Hands of the Consuming Fire by Axis of Light, Becoming by Abigail Williams, Burning for the Ancient by Addaura, and Time is but a Doorway to the Incinerator by Torture Chain. All albums from this year. You could also listen to Pervertor by Lord Mantis, which is my second favorite album so far this year. It's a lot more sludge than it is black metal, but it still has black metal influences.
|
| tiesthatbind It sounds great, I don't think it'll surpass ABIII quality wise but it should be a great rock album at the very least. Tremonti's vocals have gotten really good.
|
| tiesthatbind Dunno if you've heard this since it was a Japanese B-side but this is actually a pretty sweet track that could've fit on ABIII imo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcjbDRL5l2U
|
 | ncbest32 Ocean Machine is amazing!!! Thanks so much for recommending to me!!
|
| Hawks Haha it's alright buddy. And I actually completely forgot about them until you just mentioned it.
|
| Hawks Everyone hates Wiz Khalifa, but I honestly love him. It probably helps that he's from the same area as me, but good lord I listen to him nonstop. It's also really great smoking music.
|
| Hawks Yeah I'll probably sample some of them on YouTube. I'm listening to Wiz Khalifa's new mixtape now though. YEAH THAT'S RIGHT I SAID WIZ KHALIFA!
|
| Hawks I'll wait for you to get off work because I can't find s***. I'm not looking too hard because I'm a lazy ****, but yeah, just send me one when you can lol.
|
| Hawks I'm so lazy, but I'll look for one just for you Gmork god dammit.
|
| Hawks Send me a link nigga lol.
|
| Hawks Ahhhhh god dammit, djent sucks so hard lol. I don't even really like Meshuggah, but I'll still listen to it since you have me interested.
|
| Hawks I haven't and I'll definitely listen to it. I trust your taste haha. What genre is it?
|
 | mandan Pretty much like KILL said. Moving Pictures is the easiest. I recommend you go on with either Signals or Permanent Waves, after that you choose how to work your way. A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres are great, but demanding for someone who isn't a seasoned prog lover.
|
 | KILL dude its hard to rec rush as i would say jump straight into moving pictures but you may not dig it hard, for me i started with their first album and worked my way through, but i dont know dude just get their discog lol
|
| Hawks Nope. They checked my eyes and they were bloodshot as **** and they asked if we were smoking. I told them I had bad allergies, which is actually true lol. My two other friends didn't have bloodshot eyes at all so they didn't check us. I had 3 grams in my pocket and I didn't have a chance to shove it in my boxers. I was so relieved when they just told us to be safe and get out of there. It was pouring rain, so I think that helped us out a little bit too.
|
| Hawks Me and my friend were riding around in my car smoking a blunt, apparently I ran a stop sign, some dude jumped in front of my car and I almost blasted him. Unfortunately for me, the cops were behind me and saw the whole thing. My friend had a half ounce of weed, a scale, and a grinder. He shoved that s*** in his pants when the cops rolled up. Thank god they didn't check the car. I ended up getting a fine, but that's better than getting arrested.
|
| Hawks Not too much. Went up to Penn State this past weekend and had a great time. Almost got arrested, but didn't (thank god lol.)
|
| Hawks We're trying to revive the blog, start posting some s*** lol.
|
 | Vesper Lol, thank you for that.
|
| Vesper WHERE IS YOUR AVATAR FROM? I recall you mentioning it in a thread somewhere, but I don't remember, lol.
|
| Hawks You won't be disappointed. :]
|
| Hawks You'll be alright bud lol. And so I don't forget, you should listen to the new Abigail Williams. It's awesome stuff. They dropped the symphonics and went for a more atmospheric sound in the vein of Wolves in the Throne Room.
|
| Hawks Something will happen eventually, don't worry. Just gotta figure out what you wanna do and go for it.
|
| Hawks Not at all. Just work and hanging out. That's all I do haha.
|
| Hawks Honestly, I'd probably be on my way if I had enough money haha.
|
| Hawks Nice to hear everything's going good for you buddy. :] I really would move in with you if you weren't so damn far away...
|
| Hawks It must be so nice to be out on your own though haha.
|
| Hawks You lucky son of a bitch. I'm moving in with you lol. But things have been good. Just been working and chilling with friends. That's basically all I do nowadays.
|
| Hawks Just saw the shoutbox message you left me haha. I've been so busy lately, I haven't been on for the past few days. I shall check out your post today bud.
|
 | TheSpirit Me too tbh. Well better late than never :]. So how're you doing?
|
| TheSpirit No problem dude, your taste is awesome, so I'm grateful you decided to come aboard!
|
| TheSpirit hey glad to have you aboard dude :] lets make the best of this
|
| Hawks It's something that would be right up your alley.
|
| Hawks Yep that's him haha. Really awesome guy with good taste. You should definitely listen to his demo. You'd dig it.
|
| Hawks Oh s*** I am. Finally!
|
| Hawks Alright bud I'll talk to you sometime tomorrow with more information. Foxblood is gonna be contributing now as well.
|
| Hawks Hell yeah dude. I'm talking to Spirit now and he's gonna get s*** started tonight and set up a layout tomorrow and then we'll be able to get it going.
|
| Hawks I'm sure you won't let us down lol. And as of right now it's me, you, Spirit, and Noctus. I'm not sure who else we plan on asking.
|
| Hawks Yeah it should be awesome. And no problem bud. You were the first person I thought of to invite.
|
| Hawks Well yeah, it's music, just any kind you wanna put on haha.
|
| Hawks Well Brandon is gonna get it all set up tonight and I should know more by tomorrow. Basically gonna be an "anything goes" blog titled Friends With Benefits lol.
|
| Hawks Have a question for you sir, would you be interested in contributing to a blog that me and Spirit are starting?
|
| Hawks You gotta listen to Andacht by Lunar Aurora if you haven't already. Rules so hard.
|
| Hawks I already told you, and obviously Apollo did too, but get on Esoteric as soon as you can! Best metal album this year.
|
| Apollo Already have it bro, it rules hardCheck out the new Esoteric, its pretty awesome doom metal
|
| Hawks Well yeah he's definitely a douche haha. Leviathan is actually one of my favorite black metal acts though.
|
| Hawks So many good albums have been released/leaked recently. New Esoteric rules face too and I love the new Leviathan even though a lot of people hate it.
|
| Hawks Les Discrets is great stuff. I've been listening to Flourishing all day. Don't know if you've heard their new album yet. If not, you need to hear it.
|
| Hawks Haha sorry buddy. It just bored the hell out of me.
|
| DarkNoctus go to getmetal, apparently it's on there. it really is a 4.5, an improvement on sect(s) and one of the best this year imo! :]
|
| Hawks I'm sure you'll like what you hear.
|
| Hawks I was just gonna ask you if I already told you to check out the new Circle of Ouroborus album, but I can see that I did lol.
|
| Apollo did you?! Awesome! And I completely agree...although Jonas was kinda drunk I think...OPeth pulled out Creedance though, which I don't think they played on the other sets
|
| Apollo its been awhile brother how are you? I saw Opeth and Katatonia last weekend...Katatonia was phenomenal!
|
| Hawks Yeah dude that album is awesome. Might be a 4.5 eventually.
|
| Hawks No problem buddy. Also, this Mar de Grises album is sounding awesome so far.
|
| Hawks Oh, and get the new Circle of Ouroborus album too. Pretty sure you'd enjoy it.
|
| Hawks I don't know how I just saw your comment now haha, but yeah I think you'd definitely dig them. Just get all three of their full-lengths. They all slay.
|
| Hawks I'll definitely let you know. I would've listened to it already, but I've been listening to Shai Hulud all day haha.
|
| Hawks I shall download it right now lol.
|
| Hawks Thanks buddy! I figured I was away long enough.
|
| pizzamachine tbh I've never listened to The Police, I'm not much for old music haha
|
| Apollo yeeeeeeeeeees awesome man :) anything else I find I will keep you in the loop
|
| KILL i'm just gonna use my 260 gtx, had it for a few years now and its still going strong, i could run the beta at high settings without lagg so yea
|
| KILL sweet, apparently ultra settings in the beta arent fully ultra, the full game will have better lighting effects
|
| Apollo Report back soldier! :P seriously, lemme know what you think, I'm in the process of writing a review for it and I knew it would be something you would dig
|
| Apollo so I see you also liked Paradise Lost's newest...have you heard Mar De Grises - Streams Inwards? If you haven't, get on it right away man. It's one of the best doom/death albums of 2010
|
| Apollo hey bro, you should check out the new Ghost Brigades...its seriously great metal
|
| Hawks I hope you still have facebook because I'm not gonna be posting here much at all anymore. I gotta keep in touch with my boy! Haha
|
 | Yuli Hey man, I tried out Agalloch's Ashes Against the Grain! I really liked it, but wasn't a fan of the vocals really.
|
| Apollo Karnivool is alright, not a huge fan but they have some solid songs ;)
|
| Apollo Well I have some good recs for you dude: Tombs - Paths Of Totality (black metal meets hardcore meets sludge), Rosetta - A Determinism of Morality (hardcore/post-metal), Disfear - Misanthropic Generation (Swedish D-Beat/Hardcore) and finally, are you a fan of Katatonia - Night Is The New Day? That is my favorite winter album I think. I think you may already know Rosetta and the Katatonia but do yourself a favor and check out Tombs ASAP
|
| Apollo haha thats sick man, I was jamming Silent Stage today and almost daily. Now that fall is approaching I've been listening to Daylight Dies quite a bit too.
|
| Yuli Okay, thank you so much! I'll let you know what I like when I get to it :3
|
| Hawks No problem at all buddy haha.
|
| Hawks Get on it as soon as you can. I know you like Dissection and I personally say it's better than Dissection's first two albums. Same style though.
|
| Hawks Have you ever listened to Welcome My Last Chapter by Vinterland?
|
| BigHans awesome, they didnt play that until near the end when I saw them. I think they opened with "The Human Instrument"
|
| BigHans I pretty much lost my mind during Sad Man's Tongue
|
| BigHans **** yeah man, it was one of the best 3 shows Ive ever seen.
|
| BigHans Dude, youre in for a treat, heres a review I wrote of the show I went to: http://www.beholdermedia.com/2011/volbeat-first-ave-8-19-11/
|
| Hawks Yeah I've always loved them both, but I listened to them last night and they just really hit me. And I knew you'd like Deep Mountains.
|
| Hawks Alright so I just 5'd both City and Alien by Strapping Young Lad, you proud? Lol and also, how did you like Deep Mountains?
|
| Hawks Yeah exactly. It's still enjoyable for the most part. And yeah they're from China haha. I know you'll love the EP and again, no problem bud.
|
| Hawks I highly doubt it'll ever go above a 3.5 for me, but you never know.
|
| Hawks No problem at all man. And you don't gotta apologize to me for liking an album lol. I still like to listen to it from time to time.
|
