They're also touring at the end of the week - a band worth checking out called Hope Drone is supporting them in Brisbane.

Dammit, double post & new page fail.
 
Haha! I think you're right Liam.....actually one more band that I like thats maybe a bit more true to the genre.....kings of technical time signatures.
Watch "The Dillinger Escape Plan - "Farewell, Mona Lisa" Season of Mist / Party Smasher Inc" on YouTube

Ah didn't even know they were coming. ..probably not a band I would see live anyways.
 
Awesome! I saw em when they played at the forum in sydney a few years ago, like you said, great. live act. I need to backtrack to the album Mike Patton sang on....haven't heard it yet.
 
bubba, I never really got into skeleton witch. I don't know why, I like thrash and I like those kind of vocals in other bands but the two just don't go together for me. Kind of why I could never really get into Kreator either, but why I love Vader :)

bottlo, I remember not being allowed to wear my home-made nailbomb shirt to school free dress day back in the late 90's. Point Blank was my preferred album.. I particularly dig 24 hour bullshit and sum of your achievements. In regards to soulfly I loved the first album but kinda fell away after that. That reminds me I've got a massive sep ep, rare album and singles collection i've been meaning to put on ebay.

barls, that's pretty groovy bro. I'm gonna check out more of this brainoil gear.

Ok when we're talking about Dillinger.. how can you go past setting fire to sleeping giants?

Matty, sorry that deafheaven band is a bit two ethereal/atmospheric (if that makes sense?) for me bro. I don't listen to a lot of black metal but when I want atmosphere you can't beat aussie boys Nazxul

But then I generally feel the need to listen to this to re-balance my inner blackmetal-head

Horns up,

Oh and the mike patton ep with dillinger 'irony is a dead scene' is pretty cool, not my favourite but still cool none the less. I really like plagiarism too. When people would come around to my house or complain to me that metal was talentless I would play them a couple of tracks. They absolutely NAIL the covers of Jesus Christ Pose (Soundgarden), Hurt (Nine Inch Nails) and the Justin Timberlake cover I gather is pretty fuckin close too.

Now I would like to see one of the favourite bands of some of these criticisers cover those 3 songs, let alone play a metal song.. talentless my ass.

My favourite song about metal and being metal, by one of my favourite bands

+1 for the Skeletonwitch tour......can't wait.

I hesitate to just say 'metal' and throw the horns...but I sacrifice ales on the altar of the riff and enjoy it in many forms. I like it local, DIY, visceral, honest, whatever - regardless of genre. Also I preference bands that kick arse live. I also think these threads are kind of like the high school bag with band names scrawled all over it - not many of us bother listening to what the other people put up, but we take some notice and form opinions haha.

I know what you mean Al about deafheaven...I am a sucker for ethereal guitars drenched in reverb and delay. Nazxul sounds pretty good, I'll have to listen to it on a good system opposed to phone speakers. My true love of heavy music lies in hardcore. The classics like black flag, minor threat, descendents and also modern stuff like have heart and comeback kid. By the sounds of it there's a strong aussie metal scene? I'm under the radar.
 
Currently sharing some 8 foot sativa with my neighbour since he decided to play his country music at 6am this morning while he weeded his garden:angry:
 
As a guy slowly getting into bits and pieces Lecter, I listen to most links. Don't like them all but only know that by checking them out.
 
Anyone know ignivomous? Melbourne death act that have a few releases and international tours under their belt. Generally I don't get into the supernatural influenced metal (another reason I like sludge over black) but very good at what they do to an untrained ear.

Deafheaven... I go for Wolves In The Throne Room. Avoids both necro kvlt and hipster silliness (although Naxzul are pretty cool, just not as much fun as Sad Ex were)...of course WITTR comes with a heap of quasi-hippy deep-ecology silliness. Sigh. Still, WITTR are my go-to for that stuff.

My HC will usually be NYHC. Ag Front live at the Corner many years ago and Madball at the Punters club. Gold. Musically I am equally enamoured by the no-nonsense approach AND the widdlly-wankery of long hair guitar shredding metalz. Ian MacKaye remains a personal hero and inspiration, regardless of how much I enjoy Iron Maiden.

Manticle, my comment was not aimed so much at the likes of you as the 'seasoned' metal heads who generally already approach things with a certain perspective. I LOVE (but always feel a bit self-conscious in) these threads - like there is a certain amount of 'measuring' going on among those who listen to the most brutal and extreme hee hee. Like Jello Biafra said: 'heavy metal - no high school gym teacher could get so many kids to dress alike'.
 
Abolutely.

My mate in the band mentioned above is a quiet nerdy guy who lives with his mum and brother and is studying a masters in librarianship. He paints warhammer figurines and is into military industrial and ambient industrial (also makes and performs the same).

Went to a local metal night at the Bendigo castle with some other mates and ran into him there and the metal uniform was on - denim jacket with patches of unreadable bands etc. Was rife through the crowd although every hardcore punk gig I've been to is identical. We individuate through conformity.
 
I struggle with live hardcore gigs for that reason Manticle. The "scene" can be so close minded and judgemental. It has become a counter culture based really on fashion and cool life choices (veganism, straight edge) I live in the illawarra and the street punk shows are a lot more fun and diverse culturally.
 
I'll check out WITTR. I got a soft spot for the nyhc bands as well.

**** it. You turn up, do your thing and enjoy what is good. You don't have to be a mindless robot. My mate mentioned above is a very intelligent bloke and very analytically critical. If the uniform helps him fit (or maybe he just likes it and doesn't mind that eveeryone else does too) then so be it.

It's funny that hardcore can be that way but we don't have to buy into it. Even warehouse parties with local grind acts and $2 beers still have an unseemly number of guys in black with dreads, caps, black jeans and military boots and jackets with all the right patches. They like it they wear it. I'll wear my orange chiffon blouse and paisley pantaloons and we can all drink beer and rock out to lyrics no-one can understand. I like to make my own in such situations.

I like biscuits
do you like biscuits,
yes I like biscuits
FUUUUUCK Yooooouwa

No more pork fat
No more pork fat
no more pork fat
no more FUUUUCK YOOOOOUUUUWA!!

And my favourite:
