Wow, they look good. They have changed a lot from the first album...

Trivium announced that their new album "Shogun" will be released in September, should be pretty intense...here is a song from the last album "The Crusade". They had much heavier screaming/metalcore vocals in the days of old on the "Ascendancy" album.

I believe, yet once again, this was aimed at a different Nick, but here it goes.

I used to think that Slipknot was just another metal band with a gimick, but I have to say I've got a lot more respect for them lately. They are doing some damn fine stuff. I can't say I like it all, but I think they got a good thing going.

Also, I caught some cuts off Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat, and god damn, that was awesome. You can really hear a lot of the industrial, eletro/noise, funk & prog-metal influences, but with a greater variety and experimentation. I always thought the comparisons to Mr. Bungle's first album were strictly due to the gimp masks, but it sounds like the started fairly similarly (before branching wildly). Of course, the sounds are different enough, but the semi-free form multi-genre blending metal is there.

WOW, someone who can get past the abrasive exterior, and see the talent they have!


it's honestly rare to find... And I couldn't agree more Nick!


And yes, you were originally the wrong Nick...

ZOMG fucking awesome! I am so glad they went back to a "Iowa" sound...it was definitely missing from Vol 3. I like this new stuff and I can't wait for the album!

No matter how true this may or may not be, masks are dumb. If you have to "look past" the gimik to get to the substance, yore doing it rong!

Yeah, but their point in the beginning was to NOT have the popularity. They didn't want to walk through the mall and have people recognizing them, they just wanted to make music, and still have their personal lives. The masks are just a part of them now, and they can't get rid of them!

Moreover than that, the masks represent the music for Slipknot. Each member is involved in side projects where musical style changes and "Slipknot" characteristics aren't used. So the masks and the jumpsuits represent the band and allow the entire band to feel unified and actually binds them to the music...I read that in an interview somewhere...

More SlipKnot news: Sid has broken BOTH of his feet, and will be performing the rest of the Mayhem tour in a wheelchair... He's also already bruised the crap outta his face, from hitting it on his DJ boards while in the chair!

Dan the Automator has a new collaboration with Russel Simins (drummer for the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion) called Men Without Pants.

Pretty much sounds like you'd expect. Sounds like JSBX style of bluesy rock, but now with a slight electro tinge to it.

MP3 of And The Girls Go

"All Hope Is Gone" releases today. It is, in fact, the single most amazing album I have EVER heard. Period.

Finally. Its a band that combines Arnies best catch phrases into brutal metal.

You sure it's a clipping issue? Last time they put out an album, they told us the low production quality was "artistic exploration". Maybe they're just making a statement.

BTW, the statement is "you suckers will buy our shit and make us richer no matter how crappy it is!"

Apparently the clipping is due to some "dynamic compression" BS that makes the album louder because to most people's ears, louder=better sound. At least that's what the were saying on a Nasioc thread.

I'm fairly sure that is is a clipping problem... check this out. http://blog.wired.com/music/2008/09/...etallicas.html



The top is the Guitar Hero sample, the bottom is what comes on the CD.

Odds are somebody screwed up in the recording studio when the tracks were layed down and they were too something (pick your own adjective) to rerecord them.

Oops, I retract that... It looks like they screwed up the CD mix and were too something to fix it probably because the masters and likely the CD run itself had already been done.
