Watcha been listening to... these last 10 years

[dpm]

Alright, I'll start this then probably stop logging in after a week.

Apparently these guys have been around a while but nobody except Naren can ever remember their name. Imagine if melodeath hadn't been interrupted by the horrible things that have happened since the mid 90s

[dpm]

Black Royal. Big riffs, lyrics about Satan.

[metalheadpunk]

I’ve been on a Nevermore kick lately, after not listening to them for a few years. Bummed I never got to catch em live.

[noodles]

Korn. Does anybody else like seven strings?

[dpm]

Oranssi Pazuzu. I love this stuff, suspect it's going to be divisive

Bastard. Ruined it already 🤣

[noodles]

Dude. This is the third forum. I basically shit post now. Lol

[dpm]

I should hope so

What are you talking about? I been a huge, huge, huge fan of these guys since 2007 when I heard Liberation = Termination and then bought all of their albums. I will admit, though, that I had no idea they released another album after that until around 2015, but I can blame them for that since they went 5+ years between albums.

Seven is a decent album, but it's nowhere near as good as Embers of a Dying World with tracks like this:

EDIT: No idea how this new forum does YouTube links.

I'll also add that I'd say their best song ever is still off their second album:

Shocking as it may be not everyone hears of bands at the same time!

I've also been getting into Buckethead's back catalogue.

This one was a big find. I really dig the chill he's putting down...

...and I still spin these two fairly regularly...

It is shocking, indeed. Sometimes people don't hear bands until half a century after they've broken up. Or centuries after the musician died.

I probably wouldn't have heard about Mors Principium Est if I hadn't been in that metal record store in 2007 at that specific time where they were playing it. I went to the register and asked "Hey, who are these guys?" and the guy said "This is Mors Principium Est's newest record" and pointed to where they were. Bought it there, listened to it like crazy, then bought their other albums within a few weeks. Random stuff like that really is how we find out about a lot of music, after all.

...and threads like these! I think it was Josh that turned me on to Grand Magus in one of these types of threads.

I found my way here too - I've been mostly listening to:

Subrosa

I started listening to Sleep Token after Don (Bot) posted a 1 minute guitar cover of one of their songs. Started listening to Tesseract because I had liked Fellsilent, whose album I bought on a whim when I saw it for really cheap in a Tokyo metal record store in 2008. I've actually found some pretty sweet bands (and some "meh" ones) just by buying ones I'd never listened to before but that looked interesting in metal record stores.

[Ryan]

I've been playing this constantly as of late, not metal at all though.

[dpm]

Latest Thron release. There's nothing new going on with these guys, it's Dissection meets Emperor with a dash of Dimmu, but it's well done

[bigdave]

Opeth... Ive had this riff playing in my head for a few days.

And I think it was you Leon that turned me on to Orange Goblin, which sent me down another rabbit hole. :brofist:

Really? You went with "DesertDweller"?

Nostalgia. That was my nickname on sevenstring.org when we first started out. I think that's my nick on a few forums, but I don't post much anywhere else.
