Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss

Now onto Goatwhore - Carving out the eyes of God

 

[Paul Kersey]

Manilla Road - Open the Gates.

 

[SydneyBomber]

Wow, really good! Much better than expected, and Max actually seems to be playing most of the time in this one.
Bassplayer is killing it

 

[James Colorado]

Nocturnal Depression - When My Time Has Come.

Just a 3 track EP and nothing you haven't heard before, but it's done well; the last track is the stand out.

Immolation - AOG

Now onto Goatwhore - Carving out the eyes of God

Really liked this album when it came out - the follow-ups 'Blood for the Master' and 'Constricting Rage of the Merciless' are even better.

New Lamb of God.

It's a bit meh to me. Reminds me a little of the new Frankenbok album which has better songs.

I knew they had a bit of Pantera influence in them but not THAT much.

Rapture - Songs for the Withering. What a belter of an album. Amazing. Bought a new Audiolab CD Transport today and loving my cd collection again.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Don't usually comment on this sort of stuff but a friend today said 'oh I don't like the new LOG'. Welcome to the team pal - no idea what there was to like about them ever.

 

[Pacman82]

New Kreator album on here

 

[Pacman82]

Good album after first listen, I was dark on that Midnight Sun song when I heard it the other day but it seamlessly slots in on side B & has good solos, Becoming Immortal sounded grouse along with the other two singles released prior..

Missed a show last night as had to go to SA for a potential new work matter. Bloke rings me today at 4pm to tell me I’m not getting the gig. ****ing annoying.

New Severe Torture ep.

Any good?

 

[Paul Kersey]

Any good?

I enjoyed it. More of the same. Some nice solos.

 

[Dee Snider]

It doesnt measure up to old In Flames but i think its a step in the right direction and by that i mean its a better listen than recent efforts from Dark Tranquility and In Flames.

Stanne/Stromblad et al- “we’ll give you old school, heavy In Flames”

In Flames - “Hold my beer”.

 

[Paul Kersey]

All this In Flames talk made me pull out my The Jester Race cd. Really good album - pity they didn’t stick with that sound.

Love that album. Shame they dont sound how they did back then but hey - things change. I try not to be too critical of bands that evolve and completely change their sound, because its their choice. Plus, if they are in the mindset of only keeping the same sound to appease their fans, but wanting a creative change themselves, then the music they release probably wouldnt be very inspired anyway. I try to appreciate the stuff i do like and if the band changes to the point where their music no longer appeals, so be it...Ill keep listening to the old stuff. That said, when trying to decide whether to see a band live, it can be tough if half their music appeals and the other half doesnt.

Point is, with a band like In Flames im just glad they released music i like at some point in their career. For them it just so happened to be their early stuff.
