I dusted off some cassettes and found a band I haven’t listened to in ages. C Average or sometimes cave rage.
Two of the nicest period in the gd world, Jon Merithew and Joe Preston. Real shy genuine people. I traded Metroid Prime for c average’s catalog. It was a bunch of cd’s that were supposed to go to radio stations and the like. The ones that have the notches cut out of the case. They made s some good music. The start is 100% Jon doing a Longmont Potion Castle bit. Takes off his prank calls were super popular with bands touring and they trade and dub them. This song has a if Glenn Branca was metal vibes
Melt Banana rips!! I highly recommend listening to the whole album. It clocks in at close to 25 minz. It really builds an excellently rowdy groove. Through headphones I’m impressed with how many sonic elements they cram in while retaining a fist-pumping core.
If anyone is looking for more high-pitched vocals but paired with something more industrial and blackened check out the body
Not exactly heavy by this thread’s standards, but I’m a big Ghost fan and they have a new song out today, album in April. I really don’t like when singles come out like 6-8 months before the album so I’m very pleased.
Forgive the cross post but I know some peeps here don’t hang out in the Music - The Topic! thread
Soliciting album recommendations for a few long travel days ahead of me. No constraints on genre, just want to break my habits without relying on the algorithm. If you’ve ever wanted to brag about your taste, now’s the time.
I’ve been revisiting some metalcore that I was really into in highschool and then drifted away from.
When searching up this song, I saw that apparently most of the band abruptly quit recently and the singer is absolutely unhinged? Last I had checked in, he had just got out of prison for trying to pay someone to kill his wife and made up with the band, having hopefully turned over a new leaf. That was like 10 years ago lol.
I also saw, because of this search, that the lead guitarist left Mastodon which is actually a bummer, but not totally unsurprising for a few reasons, one of which that he barely wrote anything on the last album. Fortunately, it seems they’ll keep going without him.
