Where the Metal Heads at?

Did you like their newest album?

Im not a fan if it. It's just lacking something that I just cant put my finger on. I often take time to warm up to new albums from artists I like but Memento Mori hasn't grown on me at all.

To be honest I haven't even bothered to listen start to finish. It's been a fucked up year hahah. I usually have them on shuffle in the background while I lift. Gonna give it a go for my Pm session today!
 
Guess I've been living under a rock the past 6 months lol

The mighty Vader have put out a new album this year. I'm glad to see they have went back to their thrash/death metal hybrid roots. They struck gold with this record and it's a heavy hitter in my opinion. Best pure old school metal album I've heard this year by a wide margin. Solid work for a band who's been at it for 37 years, a lot better than what slayer, or should I say the K.King project featuring Tom Araya, dropped on us before they hung it up.

 
Threads got me in the mood now haha. Couple more classics.

Darkest Hour, under appreciated.. Was gonna see them until the covid shutdown.

The Black Dahlia Murder



Annnd a little bit of Killswitch Engage
 
Ok. Your next workout, you have to listen to the album Beyond the Permafrost by Skeletonwitch.

It's brutal. Relentless. You will be headbanging the whole time. You'll probably get an erection. It is the best debut album of any metal band I've ever heard. Just listen to the whole thing through once. You won't skip any song, none of them are skip-able. And it's not very long. You'll knock it out in a workout easy.

Trust me on this guys. Report back.

One of my all time favorites. I was fortunate enough to see them on The Art of War tour in 06, it was amazingly brutal.

I'm a metal head of many styles from way back. Actually, playing music (mostly death metal at the moment) is how I make my living.

I love all kinds but metal was my first love. Going back to taking Black Sabbath's greatest hits to show & tell in 1st grade in my Fisher Price tape player.

Vader is criminally underrated in the annals of metal history. It rubs me the wrong way how largely ignored they are for as awesome as they have been for almost 40 years. Still heavy, still cranking out killer riffs and crushing drums and no one recognizes them cept for their diehard fans. And last but not least my hat goes off to Peter and how good he sounds after 32 years of singing death metal. He sounded fantastic on this latest album!

Absolutely, Peter is the man. Definitely criminally underrated!

I hope they come back to the States once we get through the chaos and touring resumes. Vader is one of few bands that I will put extra miles and time in to catch live.

And I'm totally with you on the Slayer comment. Especially since the death of Jeff Hanneman, personally I enjoyed his playing more than King's. He was a bit more melodical and less noodley/squeely if that makes sense.

I agree 100%. Low and behold Hanneman was the better axeman in Slayer. Funny guys used toabrgue vehemently who was the better guitarist Jeff or Kerry and who was more important and now you dont see it as much on the metal and guitar boards because all doubt was put to bed with Repentless. Not to mention Kerry is and has always been an asshat. Much respect for co-creating my favorite band but that doesn't make him any less an asswhipe haha

I compared Vader to Slayer in my original post cause Peter has come right out and said that Slayer was probably his biggest influence and anyone who says they cant hear tons of Slayer vibes in Vader clearly hasn't listened to them very much especially old Vader. A lot of people have likened Vader to just Polish Slayer with guttural vocals. Funny part is that Vader twisted their version just enough to swt it apart from Slayer and make it their own. In my opinion they sounded more like Slayer on their last album than slayer did on theirs lol

Haha yeah man I feel the same way. And yes the influence is definitely there.

Vader closed the set I saw live with "South of Heaven". It was a fun tribute.
