theboyangel Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Giving this a first listen through. brilliant use of the theme from The Vikings (the Kirk Douglas/Tony Curtis classic!) on Pain Down The Drain. it’s not disappointing on first listen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Its nothing like Manowar. Its pretty good. Not sure how I would describe it, elements of death metal, but tuneful. Not awful at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These lot are more melodic Thrash/Death. I like them a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 So far so good! I’m a sucker for the knob twiddling, there could have been more knob twiddling, but can’t complain about the bass, plenty of bass. It will get played again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted September 23, 2023 Moderator Share Posted September 23, 2023 New (instrumental) Courtney Barnett album. Kind of ambient nurdling of the kind I listen to quite a lot, either background or just to empty my (already quite empty) head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Wikipedia: Quote Melodic death metal combines death metal with elements of traditional heavy metal ranging as far as the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, especially melodic or harmonized guitar riffs, with the heavily distorted guitars, fast double-bass drum patterns and occasional blast beats of death metal.[1][2] The vocal style typically features either high-pitched shrieks screaming (differing from traditional death metal) or low-pitched growling (similar to traditional death metal) and can feature clean sung vocals.[1] I know it's not your thing at all ofc, but theres many bands who have that style that i enjoy immensely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Swansea Sound (ex Pooh Sticks) with a fresh new album that could equally be from 1989, the sound is kinda indie power pop and pre dates Brit Pop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
