Indeed I got a new job, it keeps me busy but it is in regards to beer so it is fun.
i recommend some primordial , slightly more doom but i've been melting my speakers lately with them. must check out a few from the lists up here.
Ok this is not metal. However it is still awesome and really has no other place. BTW it is all in Polish... I present Epic Viking Rap! Yeah it IS that good that I posted it here...

FYI it is sung in Swedish...
Understood, and please understand that it's not necessarily the music they are making nowadays that I think is garbage, it's that type (nu-genre) of music in general. It's NOT metal and it never will be. Obviously they are talented as well as credible or at least they were at one point, the same applies to Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride. I guess the thing that really gets under my skin about these types of bands is they try to portray themselves as metal knowing darn good and well that they sold themselves out of the metal community long ago. I can't really comment on any of their current stuff simply because I can't stand to listen to that style of music, or any genre with "core" in it either. If you'd like to discuss this further we can on the metal thread, love Bloodbath btw.
That^, I totally agree with. It's a whole other animal, and definitely not metal at all. Progressive rock? Post metal? Whatever..... I was as shocked as the next guy when Katatonia released Discouraged Ones, and it took a few listens to see where they were coming from, but I really like the direction that the band's taken since then. The only pre DO release of their's I listen to anymore is BMD, listening to something like Dance of December Souls now is almost painful, what with the 'drumming' and vocals.
I totally feel ya on the 'nu-____' or '____-core' thing. Not a fan at all. And I'm the same way with certain bands, take the artists formerly known as In Flames for example. A complete and utter sell out to more radio friendly hard rock, seemingly for the sole purpose of well, selling records and merch. What they're doing these days doesn't appeal to me in the least. But on the other hand, there's bands like Opeth, who with their last record showed a side that we've never heard and that is somewhat more commercialized (sludgy record, tour with Mastodon, etc.), but it's still a phenomenal piece of work and the direction makes sense for the band considering Mike's issues with his growls and Fred Åkesson not being quite the guitarist that Peter Lindgren is. A far better record than Watershed, IMO.
I think it's hit or miss when a band decides to make such a departure from the sound that they captured their fans with. Some bands can pull it off, others fail miserably when they try.
Either way, BLOODBATH FTW!!!
Could do without the cheesy video.
