The Metal Thread

The new Obscura is out and it absolutely rapes my ass. The new guitarist plays a fretless guitar on a few tracks too. I've heard of fretless basses but never a fretless guitar in metal.

I've had a couple of tracks show up in my YouTube subs. The technical mastery of Rafael Trujillo is astounding.

Can't stop listening to this. Gets better every single time. Absolutely amazing.

New Destroyer track. Metal as fuck.

The wife got me tickets to Iron Maiden for christmas. Berlin, May 31. Been a fan for over 30 years.

I have nothing else to contribute.

Seeing Fleshgod Apocalypse on Saturday, should be good times.

At The Gates/The Haunted on Sunday. Then Cannibal Corpse/Obituary/Cryptopsy next month.

I had no idea Obscura released a new album. Some good stuff, leads and solos are pretty wacky. A+

Yeah they released the new album and already fired that guitarist and replaced him - along with the bassist too.. and maybe the drummer. The singer is kind of a dick.

New old school.

Fleshgod apocalypse was fucking awesome, but carach angren fucking destroyed the place. Had only casually listened to them but they were awesome!

Fucking lol:

Kirk Hammett on Twitter

Kirk Hammet getting roasted by a ton of guitar tech industry.

Preview track of new Vektor album. Tech thrash with some black metal-ish elements. Sounds even more technical, more melodic, but still just as heavy as previous 2 albums ...

From the preview image (and my not knowing or listening to Ghost B.C. before) I expected the attached song to be some black metal mic-gargling crap I generally avoid. And instead, I hear some completely clean vocals over 70s psychedelic metal. Now, I've listened to all major albums completely through twice, and love them. Learn something new every day.

I like Ghost, but I don't think they're metal.
