I've spun the new album a few times now, it is indeed pretty good. Better than what I hoped for, actually. Of course it's a bit overly long and too "thick" at times but it's nice enough. Really has a bit of everything they did so far.

You could try bands such as Gallowbraid, Fen, first Ulver, Empyrium, Alcest, Drudkh and even Woods of Ypres and Falloch, even though I think they suck.
 
But especially Gallowbraid are close to Agalloch, and Fen too, but they're a bit more blackish and less folkish. But the bands mentioned should interest you.

Wow, didn't know this band. Just listened to this song and I really loved it, which is normal when you're a fan of Tolkien's world. Going to try their discography asap but especially that album, '...Where the Shadows Lie'. The female vocals amazed me on that track, and the growls sound pretty awesome to me. Concerning the track, nothing to say if just that it's amazing, I love the atmosphere there is in that song and the lyrics as well. Thanks for sharing, dude!

Battlelore - ...Where the Shadows Lie
 
With fantastic coverart by known J. R. R. Tolkien'-ullustrator Ted Nasmith it's easy to understan what kind of themes this band deals with. ...Where the Shadows Lie is Battlelore's debut album, and a fantastic album in my eyes. It's hard to say exactly what genre Battleloe belongs in, but they play a mix of power metal and goth metal with hints of melodic death metal and folk metal, topping it with "beauty and the beast" vocals. Neither of the two vocalists are very talented, but they supply eachother very well and there's plenty of memorable vocal lines (such as the female vocals in Fangorn!) without ever going over top with anything, though the growls are a bit special and certainly not for everyone. They also managed to get their own soun and there's not really any bands out there sounding like this, and that's positive. I'm enjoying their lyrics as well (more or less always baese on something Tolkien) and it really fits the atmosphere of the music.
 
 

Preview of their new mini-album.
 

 
This mini-album is gonna be such a beast, can't wait.

Found out about Slaughter To Prevail the other day only because lucas munn posted about them on his facebook. Speaking of which, I can't wait for the new Rings Of Saturn album to drop. More insane double bass, blast beats, technical guitar riffage, brutal vocals and alien themed songs.
 

I'm not gonna go to fast here in case someone actually finds anything interesting, but I just decided to throw something out since I've suddenly got internet that works two days in a row. Have had some major problems with my internet for the last month.
 
 

 
God Macabre - The Winterlong
 
So, as we all know the Swedish death metal scene was a major force in the death metal scene back in the late 80's and early 90's with bands such as Nihilist/Entombed, Dismember, Grave, Merciless, Carnage and Unleased, before bands such as At the Gates, Dark Tranquillity, In Flames and Hypocrisy took it a step further with their melodic death metal. But underneath this there was a shitload of bands releasing fantastic demos/EPs/albums that should've become bigger, but that never made it like the mentioned bands. God Macabre, Nirvana 2002, Epitaph, Gorement, Wombbath and Toxaemia are some of these bands. And unlike the Florida death metal scene, the Swedish wasn't very thrasy. It's way heavier and more brutal.
 
The Winterlong is a short death metal carnage clocking in on just 28 minutes of brutal and doomy, atmospheric, melancholic and rotten death metal of the best kind. It sounds very Swedish, but it doesn't really sounds like any of the Swedish bands of that time. Don't get me wrong, if you put on this you'll hear influences from Nihilist/Entombed, Carnage, Dismember, Grave, Epitaph and even Tiamat, and of course there's lots of Death here as well, and it's a bit Leprosy influenced I'd say, but there's something quite unique about the whole album. The atmoshere is unlike any other death metal album out there, and they just found their own sound.
 
It's a shame that The Winterlong... were the only output from these Swedes, especially since it's quite short, but it was released in 08 with three other songs that are fabolous as well. But the good thing about this? Well, it's a 28 minute logn death metal carnage that, when finished, you'll put on again because you just crave something more, and with its 28 minutes it never gets dull.
 
Hands down for one of the best death metal albums of all time.
 

I still remember when I got into the band, it was in 03 right after the release of Lucifer Incestus. A friend had bought it and brought it too school to show me the awesome video for the title track. We loved it and watched it on replay for the whole day before we suddenly got to listen through the album. Love at first listen. I can't say I view the video the same way today, but being pretty new to metal and rather young it was pretty fucking cool.
 
 
Also, I thought I'd start a weekly "the forgotten/overlooked/underrated album of the week" kinda thing to, because it sounded fun in my head. It's pretty self-exlaining, but I pick one album I feel are a bit forgotten/overlooked/underrated and write a bit about it and hopefully people into that sort of metal will check it out. And if people seems to be interested I will continue.
 
And I will start with a classic album that seems to be a forgotten gem. I just never hear anyoen talka bout it, and I don't get why because it is one of the best albums within the genre.
 
 

 
Infernäl Mäjesty - None Shall Defy
 
Forget about the awful, non-fitting cover or their glam-image, this album is a masterpiece and one of the best thrash meta albums ever. Infernäl Majesty played thrash metal that was kinda innovative for its time and very unique. While mostly a pretty pure thash metal album, at times it does lean more towards early death metal. We're talking about a thrash metal album that is pretty evil sounding, and that reminds me a bit of albums such as Seven Churches, Hell Awaits, Black Metal, Welcome to Hell and Scream Bloody Gore, but it never copies any of those albums. Worth checking out if you're into thrash metal, early death metal or just something that kicks ass.
 

Some good technical slamming death metal that just dropped(new band).

Soooo good. Slipknot is back, guys!
They managed to make something decent despite what happened recently to the band. That's really laudable tbh.

The new track's not bad, although I enjoyed the first one more. This one has some sort of nice atmosphere to boot tho, even if it's a bit too long and tedious at points.
 
Anyway, album info time: title is .5: The Gray Chapter and the release date is October 21.

new MV HALO

they drop ape lyric video yesterday
 

This song is completely in english and because of Natsuki... I thought it was in japanese with some english parts. Anyway, his "english" is epic. Love it. 
Even today I still don't get a shit about the lyrics.
 

Machete Kills
 
A movie that begins really good with some funny scenes. But then, this movie keeps getting worse and worse until the very crappy end.
Sadly, a waste of time. And as time is precious, please, don't watch it.

I did a quick search and was shocked we didn't already have a thread like this?
 
List some of the songs where the vocalist so so incoherent with their mumbles that you have no idea that it is in English. For me the first song that comes to mind is The Gazette's Filth in the Beauty. I literally had no idea that the song was mostly in English until I looked up the lyrics.
 

I like PLASTICZOOMS, but I can hardly understand english parts.

I had no idea during its release days that it was *almost* completely in English ( the good ol' glory of Kyongrish!)
 
Also lately: the chorus off sukekiyo's "vandal" ("listening to dead kennedys/I hand down a malicious verdict on you") was very incomprehensible for me during the first listen

Phantasmagoria's NIL FRONTIER sounds lovely, but when I looked up the lyrics, I was surprised to see it was in English...I normally don't like Engrish songs, but this was just too good to pass up.

I'm still not sure whether these lyrics for WHITE ASH's "Would You Be My Valentine?" are actually correct or not--that's how incomprehensible their singer is.

It's a shame, since he has a lovely voice.
