Did someone say black metal?

Here's something called the TOP 10 MOST RIDICULOUS
BLACK METAL PICS OF ALL TIME

http://ruthlessreviews.com/top10/10blackmetal.html

Mastodon's last record is pretty incredible -

In response to the earlier post about Keelhaul II, check out the new one (Subject to Change Without Notice). While II is most beautifully dirty, "Subject to Change" captures that energy with a better sounding recording. Check it.

Ved Buens Ende is really great. A supergroup of black metal folks, with the Hellhammer on drums. Very "technical", ie lots of changes/parts/spikity sploikety drumming. But really badass.

"Panzer Faust" by Dark Throne is the one for me. Just totally fucked.

Trapdoor Fucking Exit is great. Quite a splash with the kids in Norge, if I remember right.

And Slaxxmaal, from Bergen. Noise and collage shit with METAL. Image driven, but still pretty neat.

I'm not spelling Slaxxmaal right, because it has the crazy Norge letters in it. The double aa means the "a" with the little zero on top, I believe.

Ike

Try In Flames and definitely Meshuggah!!!!!!

Metal enough for my liking.

Anyone looking for some good, creative, progressive metal (rather than just straight forward brutality) ought to check out the following:

AGALLOCH-The Mantle ( a masterpiece of "folk metal." their first album; "Pale Folklore" is excellent as well)
GREEN CARNATION-Light of day, day of darkness (One 60 minute long track, members from Emperor & In The Woods)
BORKNAGAR-Empiricism (killer progressive black/viking metal)
ENSLAVED-Below The Lights (psychedelic progressive viking metal, "MARDRAUM" is another great album by this Norwegian band)
OPETH (well every OPETH album is equally good, & worth checking out)
IN THE WOODS- Omnio (excellent doomy album)

word. get obscura. its the trout mask replica of metal. ridiculously complicated, original, way ahead of its time.

I couldn't really get into Opeth. I thought it was kinda cheesy.

here's a few i havent seen in here:

death metal/grind: Abcess ex Autopsy. Heavy and fast. Check out "Seminal Vampires and Maggot Men"

doom: Boris Japanese doom. "Amplifier Worship" is worth having. "Absolute Go" is their first US release...Southern Lord put out a special 'low frequency version'.

thrash/speed: Annihilation Time The 'Bad Reputation' ep is solid. They sound like Bl'ast!...the new one should be out soon on My War.
