Horns Up Heavy Metal fans?

 
 
 
A relatively new-to-me favorite is Meshuggah! Love the polyrhythms and just über-heavy sounds!

Definitely, that's one of those bands I wish I would have gone to see when I still could.

RIP Peter Steele, you were one crazy dude.

They were such a rare breed in the genre. I doubt we'll ever again hear a band like them again. Pete Steele was unreal. I had the distinct (and brief) pleasure of doing a shot of whiskey with him and Josh Silver (keyboardist/vocalist) back in '96 when they opened up for Pantera in Kansas City. He truly was a giant in person - 6'5" at least and built like a brick. "Everything Dies" is one of their best (of many) tracks.

EDIT: It was the Tempe, AZ show in '96.

Haven't gotten into Mesuggah, link us some top tracks.
 
New Aggaloch album (The Serpent and The Sphere) is the jam if you're into that sub-genre.

I really like Agalloch, and this is a great album. It doesn't quite hit their high water mark set by The Mantle, but it is a close second in their discography for me.

Agreed. I downloaded the album to my ipod the day it came out and I can't stop listening to it. They're good live if you ever get a chance to see them. This style of music doesn't produce the most energetic shows so it's not quite as much fun as seeing Goatwhore or Behemoth but it's awesome if the venue has a bar you can chill at while watching them play.

Just checked their tour schedule, they were in St. Louis last month, and I had no idea. I guess I will just have to wait until the next time they come through.

I have seen Behemoth live a few times, they always put on a great show.
 
Opeth's upcoming album, Pale Communion, is streaming on Pitchfork Advance until the actual release date (8/28), but I can't get the stream to work. Probably a firewall issue here at the office, and I have not tried to stream it at home yet. It is supposed to be very proggy, but that's not a bad thing in my book. Anyway, here is the link:

As a long time Police fan, I absolutely dig this cover!

I just got back from seeing Skeletonwitch play. That was some of the most intense metal I've seen in a long time. It was paralyzing, in a good way. There were a bunch of drunk people in the circle pit, so we also got to see a lot of people fall down, which was also entertaining. One of the bands that opened for them was good too - Black Anvil
