Guest Lube Saibot Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Horse the Band i can't believe i forgot about them HORSE THE FUCKING BAND The Always Open Mouth is one of the greatest most unique sounding heavy records I've ever heard, the way they double team vocals is fucking awesome. I assume you're also partial to some Embrace the End? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Greg Reason Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Opeth. their first 8 albums are absolutely incredible. stay away from Watershed if you still want to be able to respect them. bwp is a great place to start Opeth are fantastic, yeah. I do really like Watershed though, I found it a lot more inspiring than Ghost Reveries, which seemed like a retread of prior work with a bit of shameless Tool pastiche thrown in. Nonetheless I would say that Still Life and Blackwater Park are their two finest moments. As far as heavy rock goes, I thoroughly recommend Monster Magnet. These guys are criminally underrated but I'd put my money on them as the best thing to happen to rock in the nineties. Started off in the late eighties as hard-out acid-&-cones style (which kickstarted Stoner when people like Kyuss got onto it) and delivered one of the greatest debut albums in history, Spine of God and a devastating EP called Tab.........25, notorious for the half-hour long space mission that is the title track. 2 x complete psychedelic sludge opus. They got signed to a major but still stayed sludgey as fuck. In fact, their major label debut (Superjudge) is actually harder to get into than Spine. After that it was a big psych extravaganza for Dopes to Infinity (which many say is their best, and it may well be, but I'm quite partial to Spine myself) before throwing off the psych thing, getting into the black leather and going all out ROCK. The first album of their leather period (which continues up to now) is the best: Powertrip. As far as straight up Rock goes, this is possibly the classic of all time. It stands up next to Alice Cooper's Killer and Black Sabbath's Master of Reality as a diverse, immaculately executed and fuck-off heavy Rock album that defines the genre. God Says No was the last great stand. 2004's Monolithic Baby is pretty one-dimensional and although it rocks with the authority that these guys have earned well, it's just not as good as they can be. The latest record (Four Way Diablo), written and recorded after Dave Wyndorf recovered from a prescription-drug induced burnout, is a little better but he's still gonna have a hard time topping his '90s material. But they are still a mighty force live and he's still a very switched on, intelligent dude so I reckon that he has a very good chance of getting back on top of things.

essines Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 everyone's crying out loud for mastodom, but i would just recomend some Rush, you'll never find better, old or new... rush are not metal. I would say check out some new enslaved, particularly their latest album. but you seemed to like some shitty bands. and why is watershed not any good and the album to make you lose respect for opeth? i love opeth; still life and my arms, your hearse are my favorites.

A lot of those bands you mention aren't my cup of tea, each to their own though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 oh and Fear Before the March of Flames in copious amounts The Always Open Mouth is one of the greatest most unique sounding heavy records I've ever heard, the way they double team vocals is fucking awesome. Not to mention the guitars on that record are on fire amongst other things. sexy album I really enjoyed Odd How People Shake back in the day, then I was totally disappointed in Art Damage. I heard The Always Open Mouth was better, but I never checked it out. Then again the last time I listened to Odd How People Shake I didn't enjoy it as much as I used to.

beerwolf Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 Been into Monster Magnet for many years. You're right they are very underrated. Thanks Greg for the heads up on Cult of Luna. I am forth track into Somewhere along the Highway. I like. A lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Greg Reason Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 [youtubehd]40Hp4AoUNcE&[/youtubehd] This shit is genius but you really do have to hear the record to understand how utterly mindblowing it is. Fredrik has the entire album up on his MySpace page and you can still order the CD from Morgan Agren's webstore (Morgan is the drummer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
