General Metal Chit Chat.

Jesse Leach back in Killswitch. Not unexpected but cool nonetheless, he sounded great in Times Of Grace.

Which ones Jesse? That band is a revolving door of members. They're as bad as Spinal Tap.

new Meshuggah song leaked:



I dunno. I thought it was pretty dissapointing. I was lsitening to some youtube vids of "Bleed" and other ObZen stuff slowed down and it sounded really badass, so it's not as if the pace is bad. Still looking forward to the album though.

Watch the Nazi Banksters Crimes Ripple Effect Film.

I'm looking forward to the new Meshuggah album as well, although my favourite album would have to be, "Nothing" and my favourite song of that is probably, "Spasm".

Lordi became renowned when they won Eurovision in 2006.

Hoffmann commented:
"We're just gonna have the same attitude, the approach; we're just gonna do more of the same, you know, without it being the same. More similar-style stuff, hopefully fresh new ideas. And I mean, we're not gonna… The intention is not to change it right now. I mean, why would we? . . . But I have to say, it's always easier said than done. It's incredibly difficult to write songs that are sort of reminiscent of the past but they're not, you know, rip-offs of your own music. That sounds incredibly very simple, but it's really not, especially if you have a sort of history of 15 albums or whatever we have. Then there are always similarities that you have to avoid. It can't be too close, but it can't be too far away from it. So it's a pretty fine line that you have to walk sometimes, but, you know, hopefully we'll manage again."

Um yeah, so that's happening.

I kinda like Accept, kinda don't. I'm interested in any 80's band still jamming to this day though, so I'll give a listen at some point or another.

Also, I just want to put this out here and I know people probably aren't going to like it, but I think In Waves was the best metal album in 2011. Trivium really kicked ass on that album, and shockingly, I prefer it to American Capitalist which is a close runner-up.

That is unless of course you consider The Foo Fighters' album a metal album in which case, that edges In Waves. But if not, I'm still calling In Waves the best.

There's no way Wastling Light is a metal album. GTFO. >.>

I'd say In Waves was the best metal album of 2011. I liked "The Hunter" by Mastodon as a distant second.

As for new Accept, I'm split on it.
