Bene, farò un po' di spesa per provare.
Gli Eyehategod li avevo nominati, mi ci sono avvicinato da poco e il primo mi piace, gli altri due ancora devo assorbirli.
Gli Iron Monkey li avevo da qualche parte.

Bellissimo articolo dell'NME

http://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog= ... &tb=1&pb=1

Pitchfork's 500 tracks of the decade countdown is all very well – but at no point while compiling their list did they have the opportunity to reference a band whose singer once had his face singed by a malfunctioning flaming codpiece.
Yet - despite the best efforts of W.A.S.P.'s Blackie Lawless - metal isn't all superficial, cock-obsessed clowning. It's also a genre that encompasses a record as weighty and epic as Mastodon's 'Moby Dick'-inspired 'Leviathan', perhaps the most effective concept album ever, a masterpiece whose oceanic sense of scale ably captures the colossal heft and rolling, Shakespearean cadences of Melville's novel. And that's not a sentence you could write about, say, Jens Lekman.
Indeed, it's noticeable, going through this list – which is not our own work, by the way, it's taken from this book by Jaclyn Bond - just how literary some of these albums are.
Hard rock has always been associated with fantasy, from Robert Plant bellowing about the darkest depths of Mordor in 'Ramble On' to Anthrax's 'Among The Living', inspired by Stephen King's 'The Stand'.

But there's more going on than mere adolescent swords-and-sorcery: look at Iron Maiden's Coleridgean 'Rime Of The Ancient Mariner' (what is it with metal bands and 19th century allegorical seafaring epics?), or Metallica, whose desolate lyrical mode was shaped by the howlingly bleak cosmic horror of 'HP Lovecraft'. Meanwhile, Whitesnake's 'Slide It In' is a coy tribute to Virginia Woolf.

Ok, that last one isn't true. But the points remains: metal is brilliant at synthesizing elements of the wider culture – whether it's Carcass employing HR Giger to design their album sleeves, or Cradle Of Filth penning a concept album based on Milton's 'Paradise Lost'.

Metal thrives on establishing vivid fictive worlds: it's therefore a more visual medium than, say, indie-rock, which is why logos and T-shirts have always been key to the experience of being a metal fan. It's difficult to think of Iron Maiden without also thinking of Eddie.

For that reason, I wonder if metal is fundamentally ill-suited to the iTunes age: these are albums you want to own, as physical artefacts, rather than atomise into individual, invisible, colourless MP3s.

But enough chin-stroking. Take a look at the 100 greatest metal albums list and let us know what you think. Any glaring omissions? Too much Kiss? Not enough Faith No More? Staggered by the omission of anything by Alien Ant Farm?

Pare non si siano mossi di un millimetro, così ad un primo ascolto. Meglio Pilgrimage allora

Eh, ascoltali insieme e valuta. A me pare che le idee siano identiche, anzi, in Pilgrimage almeno riprendevano anche un po' i Pink Floyd di Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, adesso credono di passarla liscia inserendo lo strumentino esotico qua e là.

Insomma, in due anni non hanno aggiunto niente, puro compitino.

che io ho deciso che non l'ascolterò a meno che non esca fuori che è meglio di Jane Doe.Sennò mi basta quello.
non ho più bisogno di chiudermi in camera a gridare la mia rabbia verso il mondo,e nonostante apprezzi loro in tutto e per tutto,non ci riesco proprio a mettermi nelle orecchie quel genere.
sono diventato un fighetto indie,lo so.

fighetto indie e tamarro aggiungerei! :D

devo ancora ascoltarlo ma fra poco ci sono, non mi aspetto che sia migliore di Jane Doe (forse impossibile) anche perchè leggevo dalle loro interviste che hanno fatto un pò come gli veniva, senza pensarci molto. Già che sia meglio di No Heroes sarebbe gran cosa, che resti o meno nel tempo dipende dall'attitude! (non sapevo dirlo in altre parole..aggiungerei un "yeah" alla Hetfield e poi corro a nascondermi)
Ci aveva pensato..

Appena mi rigano la macchina lo metto su.
A parte gli scherzi sarà sicuramente ascoltato, ma senza fretta.

Yeah! :D
The better the singer's voice is, the harder it is to believe what they're saying.

Non so se questa virata stilistica mi convince del tutto.
But how can you sleep with my heart so loud?
