Calling All Metal Fans

[headbanger]

Hey Headbanger. I am curious what metal blogs / websites you go to in order to find all the music you post. I used to have a ton of blogs I would visit, but many of them have been taken down (after file sharing pretty much became nonexistent). Just curious.

I receive a lot of promos so when I have the time, like today, I'll go through them and cull what I don't like and then circle back around to the ones I do like and dig in. I also receive a lot of feedback from friends and colleagues as to pretty much anything they find worthy. It works well because some of those guys focus on genres that I don't necessarily keep track of and this way I only have to listen to what I already know is good before even hearing it. But to answer your question, as far as the web these are about the only ones I frequent...

Metalcrypt - Great reviews buy guys who really know and love metal but watch your step if you decide to post there.

Metal Archives - Probably the single most comprehensive metal reference resource anywhere.

Angry Metal Guy - I don't do blogs much but this guy knows what he's talking about for the most part, emphasis on most.

I have been listening to this band since Diadem of 12 Stars came out. I mean, I like ambient music from time to time, but this is just too much of a left turn for me to follow. I will not be picking this up. I am wondering if they are now just trolling the metal community. Like look, these idiots will eat up anything we put out just cause the name, or if they are seriously taking the band in this direction. It is sad either way.

Some bands confuse evolution with getting better. Evolution can also mean that you'll be extinct

Here's some good ol' black metal:

That's one awesome record right there!

Maybe they are trying to go the Ulver route? I love early and late Ulver stuff, but that new WITTR sounds like a soundtrack to some indie film that is trying to be dark and aminous. They need to stick to trying to sound like Weakling. That is when they were at thier best!

*Ominous

Happy 4th of July metal fans. Enjoy some misanthropic AMERICAN black metal!

Shame about that new WITTR record. I'd heard it was bad but hadn't checked it out yet. Since I'm in the thread with metal heads - check out my new homebrew labels. One with a nod to SUNN O))

I just bought this album yesterday. They are not re-inventing the wheel or even their sound, but if it ain't broke don't fix it! Also, they are awesome live.

Here is a good review of the new Goatwhore album, for those of you who might not know what you are getting into. It is a solid album. I am only 2 spins in, and I already like it better than Blood for the Master.

This is the other record I bought yesterday. Trap Them - BlissF*cker - and it is a beast. Again, like the Goatwhore, they haven't changed their sound much – still Powerviolence/grind, hardcore punk mixed with HM2 guitar tone (think Swedish Death metal esp Entombed), but it is pure and unadulterated aggression. A lot of metal heads are calling this Entomb-core and ****ting all over it. I for one, am NOT. Hell of a record. I have included the link to stream the whole album and a little taste of what you’re gonna get from it. enjoy (FTW!)
