If you were cool and a Melvins fan, you wouldn't be saying that.

But you see, those two just don't go together.

AsyphyXy (I probably butchered your name just now) since you're one of the only people who talks about metal consistantly in here, what do you think of the band Shining?

I haven't heard the Melvins.

You've always been so obsessed with bands claiming they're the best thing ever (Tool, APC, to name a few) when in actuality, they're not even THAT good.

Thus, I have feel no obligation to hear this band.

Having 'The' as their prefix doesn't help either.

I'll give them a listen maybe.

But if they're not as good as you say they are, I'll tell you.

If you're interested... all their albums are pretty different sounding, and they've been putting out albums for the past 20 years, so it's tough to tell you where to start. If you wanna start off, I'd say to get Stoner Witch, Stag, or Hostile Ambient Takeover, and listen to their new one out in a week, Pigs of the Roman Empire. Their new album is real brutal and heavy, also.

They're not black metal, so you might not like em, but the Melvins are clearly better than any other band.

I'm open to music other than black metal.

There's at least one band from each genre I like, pretty much.

What genre are they classified as, just as a forewarning?

They're considred rock/punk/sludge by magazines, but the Melvins are very obscene and aesthetic. They've done a straight country album, they're always collaborating with different musicians, and every album they put out sounds different than the next. They're a mindfuck. The Melvins are a different band than everyone else in history.

If you're looking for their most versatile stuff, get Stag. It's my favorite Melvins album anyway. If you want straight out balls, I can send you their new CD.

Yeah, I guess.

Also keep in mind, this isn't a true Melvins album. It's a collaboration effort with some noise artist called Lustmord. He does cool shit, but whenever the Melvins start playing, shit starts flying.

Tracks 4 and 7.

Soulseek is great for it.

Pigs of the Roman Empire, Stag, Stoner Witch, Hostile Ambient Takeover, The Crybaby, Bootlicker, Houdini... all good choices.

Fantomas? His stuff with Dillinger?

If you haven't checked out Meshuggah, definitely do that. Jesus Lizard, Kyuss, Neurosis, Pigmy Love Circus [Danny Carey's side band], Venomous Concept.

I've heard Fantomas, I haven't heard Dillinger but I've heard lots of good things about them.

Haven't heard Meshuggah, heard they rule, heard they suck.

I like Kyuss and Neurosis.

Haven't heard any of the other bands yet.

Aside from their album with Patton, Dillinger's not that great. But get that fucking album.

Meshuggah rules. They do some crazy shit with rhythms and time signatures. Their drummer's great. They have a new EP called I coming out real soon, I have it, it's on Soulseek. It's one excellent 21-minute song. The album Chaosphere is good too. Jesus Lizard rules. They aren't a band anymore, but they were Tomahawk's guitarist's old band. Cobain loved them, but he's a pussy anyway. Don Caballero IS AWESOME. "What Burns Never Returns." Great album.I'm not sure if you're into really mellow stuff, so I didn't recommend any.

Anael = great black metal with awesome atmosphere. Check them out.

I have to be in the mood for Ildjarn. Ildjarn = the be all and end all of grim production. When I first heard Strength and Anger, I was confused. Definitely not something to listen to casually...

I lied.

I fall asleep to Hardangervidda and Hardangervidda part II every night.

I downloaded it and play it from Winamp, and thought it was Nidhogg because it was listed as Ildjarn - Niddhogg - Hardangervidda.

Meh, whatever.

Nidhogg is a guy who worked with Ildjarn. The album "Ildjarn - Nidhogg" is a compilation of their shit.

Meshuggah are bad ass. I find them most notable for their odd experimentations with rhythm. Check out their latest song, "I". It's pretty fucking insane, like 20 minutes long. Listening to the second section of the song, I have come to the conclusion that cymbals are heavier than snares. Overload of treble backed by intense bass explosion = heavier than shit. This combination is what makes black metal work. (not insinuating Meshuggah is black metal)

On the subject of rhythm, and straying into the area of nu-metal, I was just listening to Mudvayne while taking my dad to work. I truely only appreciate these guys for their drummer and their bassist. Fucking tight system of rhythm, the only reason these guys have a tendency to suck live is because their guitarist and vocalist can't keep with the beat of the rhythm section. Truely awesome work when you really lend your ear to some of their songs.

Last thing on my mind ATM concerning metal... I read something about Marduk and Finntroll and a couple of other bands teaming up for a European tour a while back... I've noticed Marduk is touring quite a bit over there. It leads me to believe their is a slight possibility that I could see both bands live in the near future. I would die to see Finntroll live. And other tour thoughts, I have decided to pass up Nightwish in concert having heard their latest albums. They can suck my balls, not in the mood for opera metal. Last, Gorgoroth are touring in Mexico.... roadtrip? Haha prol'ly not, but that would be sick.

Just signed up recently. For some reason, while Rajah is blocked, TPWW is not. So I figured, eh, why the hell not?

Been listening to the new(est) Machine Head album. I've had it for a little while now, and I'm rediscovering it.

My thoughts are...if they were capable of recording this album while recording The Burning Red and Supercharger...why the fuck didn't they record it?! It's truly one of the best pieces they've created.

Also been listening to the new(est) Hatebreed album...and while I thought, at first listen, it just wasn't as good as Perseverance, I've discovered that not only was I wrong, but that the album is simply better. By far and away. While I felt satisfied listening to Perseverance after the first five or so tracks, I can listen to track after track after track of the newest one, and never get bored of it. Which, again, warrants a .

Just a few random thoughts to start my day.
