That NPR list is pretty good. High Spirits is awesome if you're into old school heavy metal/rock and roll like Thin Lizzy and Gridlink is killer too (The Dodonpachi!). I'm not one to fawn over Pallbearer, but that record is good too.

Vestal Claret - The Cult of Vestal Claret
Pagan Altar - Lords of Hypocrisy
Dying Fetus -Descend into Depravity
The Kill - Make 'em Suffer
Briton Rites - For Mircalla

So nice.

Currently loving All the Blotted Science stuff (2 albums I think). I can see why it would get boring over time but right now it's pretty great to listen to especially while jogging.

I had to bust it out after watching the Hatred trailer. It totally reminded me of the cover art for this.

I always forget I actually saw Dying Fetus in concert. Not really a fan of their style of Death Metal. Still, I'll never forget this introduction:

"This next song is for all you ladies! SKULL FUCK!"

Heh, I saw them once too about 14 years ago. They played with some local bands and Lamb of God, who just changed their name from Burn the Priest and released New American Gospel. It was a pretty awesome show, actually. It was at this place called Polanka Park, which is like a Polish social club and they played in the ballroom/dining room pictured here. I don't even remember there being a stage, they may have just set up on the floor at one end of the hall.

:lol: Billy Joel used to be in a acid metal band. He's playing an over driven Hammond organ or something.

Hiroshi Watanabe - Fukuroda Falls -From Formation To Present-
Totally in love with this album. So much goodness on this album. A mix of his usual Tech-House style he makes under his real name with some more organic percussion type stuff to make a really good album. Episode4. Autumn has to be my favorite track though.

Never gave it a listen before - enjoying the Pretty Hate Machine with my new headphones. DX7 goodness, and "iconic" certainly applies too.

Over the Edge, after 7 years or so, appears to remain my favourite Wipers album. I would listen to the entire Wipers Box Set back when, outtakes and all, and under such circumstances the some journos' darling Youth of America used to outstay its welcome, like listening to all of Zen Arcade by Hüsker Dü in one go. Nowadays, though, a DJ on the local radio sometimes starts his hours with When It's Over, not allowing me to forget what a band they were.
Plus, the story how Greg Sage got into playing guitar is cool.
Every couple of months I think I'm not of age when I could listen to this kind of music all the time anymore, only to be proven wrong again. (The previous case was Neurotic Outsiders album and live bootleg.)

Lieutenant - If I Kill This Thing We're All Going To Eat For A Week
Side project of Nate Mendel, Bassist of Foo Fighters. He steps out and plays guitar and sings on this. and What a songwriter he's turned out to be. Catchy opening 2 tracks and keeps going. Slows down towards the end, but what an album. I've not spun an album so many times in full. Very much on the Indie side, and not Foo Fighters at all. Recommended highly.

New Nightwish studio album came out about two weeks ago, Endless Forms Most Beautiful. The theme of the whole thing is the grandeur of science, evolution, and life on earth. As someone who has studied paleontology and the history of life on earth since I was a kid the album really speaks to me a lot. The final (24 minute!) song is incredible, though you have to be at least a tiny bit knowledgeable about pre-cambrian life to really catch what it's talking about in the first movement.

I highly recommend the tracks, Weak Fantasy and The Greatest Show on Earth. Awesome symphonic metal with epic scope.

The album (s/t) that made me stop following mainstream rock. :lol: Definitely a combo that wasn't meant to be. I still have a place in my heart for the RATM albums.

Gave Type O Negative's October Rust a relisten this evening. Its enveloping blanket of chuggy guitar, ethereal synths and comedy lyrics always cheer me up! Still so gay for Peter Steele. ;-; Only TDS-era Trent Reznor and Ian Curtis make me swoon harder. AND THEYRE ALL DEAD ;-;

Yeah, I can't take much of them either. I had a friend who was really into them. Said that Zach got really annoying to him after a while and he liked Audioslave way better.

I remember some industrial hunt for the new Nirvana, possibly leading to premature demise of Sunny Day Real Estate, Quicksand and who knows what other bands. Sickening anticipation that, in hindsight.

To be fair, Sunny Day have been nothing but drama since their formation. Last I heard they'd reunited again and write an albums worth of material around 2012-13, then it all fell to bits for the third time when it came to record it. But yeah, there were so many bands dropped after and album or two around that period, utter madness.

This is by far one of the best albums I've ever heard. This sounds so amazing to me right now. I listened to it straight through on my first time.

Get out of my head!! I was literally coming here to post this. Amazing stuff!!! From your recent posts it appears you and I are very much on the same page musically right now.

I really like the way he blends the more standard 80's synthwave with more modern production - has a Justice vibe on a lot of the tracks, but still very 80's sounding.

Great production too!
