I get what you mean dude, and gotta say I totally agree with you. I mean yeah, seeing a band you listen to covering one of your fav bands is always nice but the cover has to be original otherwise it is indeed pointless to cover it. Anyone who plays guitar or any other instrument can cover a song, but giving it your own refreshing touch is how you do it. Never knew Moonsorrow covered Metallica and that sounds fucking great! Damn, I love it. And it's true, if I had never knew about Metallica I wouldn't have noticed it's a song that was written by them. That's crazy. If I had to give an example, it would definitely be Nathrakh's cover of Powerslave, absolutely brilliant stuff. Gotta say I never expected this before checking the song out, woah. Unreal. Can't think of another cover right now but I'll definitely post one when something else comes to mind.

Well, to me it depends which band they're paying tribute to, and in this particular case Summoning are fucking huge and a sufficient reason to be stoked (as I am). I usually don't care that much about tribute albums too, but when it's Summoning related stuff, man, gotta keep an eye on it! For Eldamar, well, the female vocals are fucking overused and it gets somewhat annoying. But otherwise, I love their sound, to each his own. And DUDE, finally someone who mentions Nazgul! That album is absolutely epic! Need another release from these guys asap. They're not fucking around. I have 0 problem with the vocals as well, I think they're great. There are still similar stuff I gotta listen to though, like the new Sejourner album for which I heard good comments. A friend of mine lately recommended me to check out Unreqvited's album. I liked it, a bit dull to my ears overall but it's good stuff. Also came across a band named "Death Fetishist", and as funny as the name is, I didn't expect to like the album so much. The cover art is cool too.

^ this album is on my "to listen" list and now that you've talked about the band, it made me wanna check the hell out of that album. Will do right away! I've been listening to a lot of Summoning lately and I can't wait to check out the tribute album that will be released on the 15th Can't wait to listen to Caladan Brood's cover, them fuckers had to take one of my fav tracks hehe. Also the rest of the tracklist is amazing and the bands that'll cover the songs are amazing, I'm so fucking stoked. And I'm sure that Eldamar will kill it with Land of The Dead. That song fits perfectly their style imo. Talking about them, I listened their album not long ago and I was so amazed. It's glorious, really beautiful music.

I listened the album yesterday and I enjoyed it, it's really cool. The highlight of the album would be this for me, a true masterwork: Also, the new Metallica album leaked. Spinning it right now, sounds okay so far. Not too good though, some tracks are boring as hell.

Yup! Need to check it out asap, the singles sounded promising and were really enjoyable. Will probably post my thoughts about the new album on here. Also listened to SAOR's new album and it's beautiful, need more spins though. + the new Ravencult sounds really great!

Okay so I just tried the new Furia and I didn't expect to be so astonished when I should have, I've been naively caught off guard here. You're gonna say it's Furia, yes, but dude, there are not a lot of bands out there as consistent as this one. I love the album.

Glad to read I'm not the only one who totally loved that release! Listened to the new Ulcerate yesterday and holy shit, that was unbelievable. What an album, probably their best along with Everything Is Fire. The new Vader is good too.

Last part of the song is cool.

You're gonna be a busy one, good luck for coming up with your top 10 omg. AND holy shit I didn't know there'll be a new Gotsu Totsu Kotsu album! I'm really looking forward the new Rudra, Furia and Vader albums. Btw I really enjoyed that EP from Furia, there's no way to be more metal than the way they recorded it hahah. And yeah Saor's new album already leaked, gonna probably check it out in the next few days.

The year is almost over and there's only a few releases remaining, and gotta say it was a great fucking year imo. Have you guys an idea of your top 10/15/20 albums of the year already? It's going to be impossible for me to make a top 10 seeing how many releases I absolutely loved, I'm gonna be forced to make a top 15 AT LEAST. How would your 'top albums of the year' list look like so far?

Okay, basically Danny left because he stopped caring about AA so... they brought Denis who doesn't want to tour with AA so... he left, and the vocalist who stopped caring is back. Makes sense tbh. I remember when Bruce stated (talking about Danny) "[...] He didn’t like screaming, he didn’t like heavy music, he didn’t like the fans, he didn’t like anything to do with AA.” And yet he's back. Okay, why not. the most childish shit I've ever witnessed tbh but okay. I honestly really enjoyed Danny's vocals on the "From Death To Destiny" album (and the album too, nothing spectacular but enjoyable), that said I'm not expecting anything from this band. The only thing I'm joyfully looking forward is how is the band going to perform their latest album (and the previous ones) with a guy that doesn't like screaming, doesn't like heavy music, doesn't like the fans and anything to do with AA.

The new album is great but... the production sound is weaker than it was in their previous album and that's such a disappointment for me. It's less impacting, sadly, but at least is just as good as their previous stuff. Great EP!

The new Inquisition album is delicious. Absolutely monumental!

I don't personally think that it's possible to find such thing because, talking about myself, I always dislike at least an/a artist/band in every music scene -let alone the songs. But obviously we all have our own predilection in everything... For example mine is melodic death metal and I'm always very likely to dig everything from it. But hey, if one day I find such a music scene, I'll probably be the happiest man alive!

Only listened to Universal and Urd before, so yeah my bad lol. Still gotta check out the previous releases tho. Forgot to point out that Moonsorrow release by the way, which I'm also looking forward to listen to. Can't wait! Also, here's a complete list of all the metal releases I'm waiting for: - Gojira - Moonsorrow - Myrath - Rotting Christ - Schammasch - Tool (not sure tho) - Cirith Gorgor - Deströyer 666 - Crimson Moonlight This Cirith Gorgor song has me really hyped for the album.

Sad news. Stay strong @ all BORN fans out there.

They always be looking fab with their looks anyway. Can't wait for the music to drop.

I'm hyped for this one, can't wait.

These guys are getting better with each release, this is crazy. Solid release from Borknagar. By the way I don't know if it was already mentioned on here but Rotting Christ already dropped some songs from their upcoming album "Rituals" (you can go check them out on their channel). It sounds solid as hell, one of the 2016 metal releases I'm looking forward the most. Gojira also seem ready to kick some butts in 2016, they haven't dropped any previews yet but it's promising.

It's lit af

What did y'all think about Trivium's new album? I liked it a lot personally, I'd write a whole review but I've got plenty of stuff that keep me busy lately so I'm just gonna share a review from Metallum. I pretty much agree on everything that was written on here: http://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/Trivium/Silence_in_the_Snow/525116/ I'm just gonna quote the last section which perfectly sums up my thoughts: Thing is that I wouldn't consider it the second best album, rather the 3rd best probably

At first I thought it was a good album and I was convinced it was going to grow on me but holy shit it didn't. I still enjoy like 3 songs off the album but that's it, really mediocre stuff overall

Oh yesss! That's definitely great news, can't wait any longer

I find myself a bit underwhelmed by DOGMA after all, the midsection of the album is to blame - it gets sort of weaker after how good the album starts. Don't get me wrong though, it's the best album they've ever recorded along with NIL and DIM and light years better than Beautiful Deformity. But I had high expectations that were above of what the album actually provides. Aside from that the album is solid af, goes HARD as hell. Now I just need more spins in order to figure out what just happened. Special mention for DEUX, got mind blown by that song. It literally had me like: As I said, I highly rate DOGMA and put it in the top 3 of their best albums. I still have to figure out what place it's gonna take in the top 3 though. Rating: 8.5/10. Thank you, the GazettE. I always had faith in you.
