Down 3
might be the only metal album i bought this year :S
it was rather good, especially the stuff pepper helped write.
i forgot
Oxbow
Pissed Jeans
Earth - Hibernaculum
Big Business - Here Come The Waterworks
Melvins - (A) Senile Animal
I have to agree on High On Fire too although I yet to get my greasy mits on that new Om record.
damn
i still havent got Hibernaculum! keep forgetting.
the new Om is short but tremendous.
Hibernaculum
is only 38 minutes, but it's 38 minutes of sheer joy.
A Senile Animal is an amazing record but surely 06?
Boris / Kurihara thing was incredible.
All kinds of nonsense from headheritage.co.uk..
Yeah perhaps
it was 2006, I don't really remember.
It's good
Dunno about the "ICE CREAM!" bit though :)
or
pillamid - geddit it's like a pyramid of pills!
A particularly vintage year for the heavy stuff..
...probably listened to the Big Business record more than anything else.
Pelican
City of Echoes
Boris & Michio Kurihara
Rainbow.
Talibam!
Everyone needs some skronk in their lives.
Da CLUBBERz GuiDE 2 IBiZA
2003
Botch
the "We Are the Romans" reissue is well worth buying.
Every Time I Die - The Big Dirty
Drop Dead, Gorgeous - Saylor Lake
The Number 12 Looks Like You - Mongrel
Three fucking quality albums.
Wolves in the Throne Room
Two Hunters
easily
Everyone who likes metal needs to hear this
some good choices
especially the new Melvins album - that's fantastic. Also porcupine tree - Fear of a Blank Planet - is wonderful - if not so heavy.
of course
the Melvins album was 06. oh well,still amazing.
Have you got
the Melvins Making Love Demos that just came out? It's dead good, raw recordings of some Ozma songs and a couple of unreleased songs too.
Between The Buried And Me
Colors. Without Question. Forget the fact that it's on Victory records and actually listen to it. Just wow.
Pelican
and both the Jesu releases
what were the jesu releases?
i really enjoyed the silver ep from a few years back.
.
the album Conqueror and EP Lifeline.
Both very good!
Nile - Ithyphallic
You did put HEAVY in CAPS :-)
Devil Sold His Soul- A Fragile Hope
Brutal and still lush
DSHS is a great call.
going to see them on thursday in fact.
They are touring again?
Their London date a few weeks back was cancelled due to illness. I may have to investigate
yeah yeah
supporting Architects with Cry For Silence in Trowbridge on Thursday.
rest of the tour seems to cover the following..
tonight; Sheffield Corporation
14th; London Underworld (feat. Blackhole too)
15th; Trowbridge Terrys'
16th; Brighton Pressure Point
29th; Bristol Croft
Hmmm
The London date is tempting but I am supposed to be doing something else tomorrow...
bf
http://www.myspace.com/devilsoldhissoulaand
http://www.myspace.com/ARCHITECTSUK
for more details.
oh and each gig is £6.50 or £7.50
bargain.
whooooo
bring on wednesday, it's going to be blinding
xxx
Pig Destroyer - Phantom Limb
\m/
how heavy is 'heavy'?
The Bled - Silent Treatment
Architects - Ruin
if your head starts to bang
so Justice?
if its loud enough
also, the Grizzlytwister
album is very good, if you like the idea of white noise mixed with extremely heavy punk music.
....
tony danza tapdance extravaganza
every time i die
the locust
trap them
psyopus
dillinger
pig destroyer
the chariot
nile
between the buried and me
all these have been sweet - theres probably mor e- need to consult cd collection etc.....
every time i die
and then not so heavy but still heavy in places:
future of the left
reuben
Still finding the Dillinger album hard work
I really hope I eventualy get into it.
Heaviest album this year - Throbbing Gristle- Part Two: Endless Not. Fucking overload!
Haven't heard the new Ministry one yet
I've heard that it's meant to be back to Psalm 69/Filthpig standard, is this true? I've also heard it might be their last ever, stopping doersn't see to be something Al Jourgensen could do!
*doesn't
yeh it really is that good
and he does indeed claim its the last
Boris with Michio Kurihara is definitely teh good
Otherwise, I don't think this year has been amazing for heavy. Mainly cause I haven't bought the Om or Melvins albums because I am frightened by said bands extensive back catalogue of which I have no knowledge.
But my twopenny worth:
Pissed Jeans
Boris w/Michio
Jesu (conqueror, haven't got the ep yet)
Pelican
and probably The Icarus Line (which is good, you fagtards, thought whether it's truly heavy is debatable.)
the om back catalogue
aint that big...the new one is only their third record.
however i think you'd be a big fan of Sleep (Om + singer from High On Fire), especially their Holy Mountain record.
really?
Might be worth my investigation then. Shame I'm not near any record shop worth it's salt right now....
what melvins album is best for starters, anyone?
Stag, it has a bit of everything
currently
trawling the melvins back catalogue myself..theres very little fat in it to be honest, dale crover ep is wicked and gluey porch treatments..always begin near the beginning i reckon. that said the ipecac reissue of 8 songs (as 26 songs) is a bit flabby, and on some poor recording you cant hear dale at all.
Get..
..Lysol. Best Melvins record ever, in my opinion.
Ion Dissonance-
Minus the Herd. Holy shit it is heavy.
how about..
shellac - excellent italian greyhound?
its fantastic.
...and
pissed jeans are ace...like the cows having sex with black sabbath
Unsane's effort
for Unsane's sake
Down I Go - This is Robotcore
not an album, but it's 5 minutes of heavy tunes!
i would have say
Pig Destroyer - Phantom Limb
Baroness - The Red Album
Om - Pilgrimage
Weedeater - God Luck And Good Speed
Weedeater is a good shout
bump
boris - Michio Kurihara was 06
boxing day, or Christmas eve. One or the other if I remember correctly.
The Fucking Champs - VI
Oxbow - the Narcotic Story
Big Business - Here Comes the Waterworks
Afrirampo - Suutobreakor [not necessarily heavy, but alternative to the usual stuff that you get in the DiS end of year lists *]
World's End Girlfriend - Hurtbreak Wonderland *
I've bought a remarkably low number of new albums this year, let alone actual good ones.
Reuben
Not much more to add really
Boris & Kurihara is a brilliant album, although hardly heavy.
Same with Jesu's various releases; all amazing, but he's pretty much shoegaze now.
The Om record is awesome, as is the Pelican one.
torche
'in return'. i guess this is an ep really, but i love it.
Hmmm....
Between The Buried And Me
Castor Troy
Errander
Emmure
Nora
Poison The Well
The Dillinger Escape Plan
The Ghost Of A Thousand
Will Haven
