Immortal To Start Recording

Scott — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 14:27:58 +0000

Bravewords.com reports that Black Metallers Immortal are about to start recording a new album. I’m not really one to look forward to new Black Metal on a regular basis but this is actually one of the bands that got me into liking some black metal. They report that Immortal’s management has issued the following:

“The band has started to record the upcoming album! They will be working in both Grieghallen and Abyss studios this time.”

Should be interesting…

Metal Martyr Personal Top Ten

Scott — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 05:01:37 +0000

Its that time of the month again and the b5 Music channel is publishing the top tens of each channel. I decided to kind of do my own thing and list the top ten songs I’ve been listening to lately and the top ten cd’s I’ve been diggin as well. So far in 2008 I’ve tried to expand what metal I’ve been listening to. Exploring new bands and even sub-genres like Black Metal that I normally talk a lot of trash about. Sometimes you come to like the things you previously disliked and you have to take it with a grain of salt, swallow your pride and enjoy it. So this is what I’ve been into lately.

Top Ten Songs

Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse – Dimmu Borgir (I love the symphonic aspects of this band)
One By One – Immortal (One of my new favorite Black Metal Bands)
Angel’s Don’t Kill – Children Of Bodom (My favorite from Hatecrew Deathroll)
And Death In My Arms – All That Remains (This entire CD is awesome)
The Eagle – Light This City (One of many great songs on Facing The Thousand)
Dethharmonic – Dethklok (It’s Dethklok, nothing more to say)
In My Darkest Hour – Megadeth (This Song Never Gets Old…never!)
Believe In Black – Hail!Hornet (This is the band that turned me onto the souther sludge metal)
Skulls – The Misfits (I’m always liking older Misfits tunes)
God Luck And Good Speed – Weedeater (Another Southern Sludge Pioneering band I’m getting into)

Top Ten Cds

20 Years Of Nuclear Blast, this is a must! 20 years of Nuclear Blast bands on 4 cd’s. Jam packed with kick ass metal. Hands down the best label anniversary compilation

Children Of Bodom – Hate Crew Deathroll A new favorite of mine. I don;t know how I went this long without getting into Children Of Bodom.

Light This City – Facing The Thousand I said before that I have never been a big fan of female vocals in the metal genre, but Laura Nichole works well as does the rest of the band.

Dethklok – The Dethalbum I wasn’t sure what to think when I heard about this show, but when you hear the music you instantly fall in love with it all.

Dimmu Borgir – In Sorte Diaboli I’m still not a big fan of the gimmick behind Black Metal but I have come to love the sound and Dimmu Borgir Mix the symphony with the devil’s music…and it’s cool!

All That Remains – This Darkened Heart I can not say enough good things about this band and honestly a lot of you are probably tired of hearing me talk about them…be prepared for more.

Testament – The Best of Testament When I picked up this one I was just ashamed that I went this long without listening to Testament. Sometimes It’s amazing how you miss a band like this for so long.

grief of WAR – A Mounting Crisis Another new overseas favorite. Japan’s grief of WAR are phenoms at bringing back the old school thrash sound. Nothing polished and painted pretty here. Just thrashing.

Burn The Priest I haven’t the slightest idea why I have been into this one as of late. The vocals are incomprehensible but the music rips!

Yakuza – Transmutations Versatile Chicago metal artists Yakuza bring the metal and a whole lot more. Jazz and metal would normally not mix well…except when done by Yakuza!

What are the big hits for you so far this year?
