Watch the youtube in my post here.

Currently listening to Gojira and Cavalera Conspiracy.

Aside from Gojira, Gorguts and the mighty Meshuggah, can anyone here recommend some good math metal?

You should check few pages back...
And I already placed an order on their new album. W00t!

I love industrial. Not NIN or MM type of industrial.
But more towards Godflesh, Misery Loves Co., Fear Factory circa Soul Of A New Machine and early Pitch Shifter.

Is the band 'Vendetta' is the same Vendetta from Indonesia?
If it is... Hell yeah!!!

You guys probably remember the 2 KLHC factions back in 94-95 and the sXe way of life that were all the rage back then...

I remembered guys who hang out around CM will never get along with guys who hang out at KLCC.
I can't seem to remember what was the main issue that caused this whole fiasco...

Philosophically, sXe is for a betterment of oneself. Avoiding drugs, alcohol, ciggies and promiscuous sex and all is good for your health and the community. To an extent, I practice that too until now. But once the elements of 'holier that thou' sets in, that is where the 'different ideology' start to rear its ugly head... I enjoyed very much bands during that era like Disaster Funhouse, Projekt A.K., Another Side, N.E.T. and of course Chronic Mass.

Wonder what happened to Mai (Out Of Step zine). Last time I heard he started a blog named something like 'Sehari Di Neraka' or something...

It's not like that. Nowadays, to have an album (or entire discography) of your favourite band is just a few computer clicks away and the waiting time is probably less than 2 hours. If you're not sure, you could always check the Youtube for a glimpse of what would the band sounds like and googled up details with regards to that particular band. If you like what you're listening, just proceed with the preceding step I mentioned just now.

Back in the days, or at least in 88 (when I start listening to metal by purchasing Maiden's Killers album), you don't have the facilities enjoyed by new generation of metal fans nowadays. You need to really put an effort to get the tape of your favourite band by going to the nearest music store. Depending on where you live, time taken to get your favourite band's album would take from an hour to few hours. In my case, the towkey will allow you to take an extra tape for you to 'test' a.k.a. the Youtube thingie we now enjoyed . Other than that, it's tape trading and fanzine's recommendation/review or by words of mouth. If you really like the band, you'll support them by attending their gigs. Being a metal fans (especially black metal) will cost you loads of time and moolah.

That is what the 'veterans' issue against the new generation. They think that the new generation haven't put enough effort in supporting the music that we all love. For a successful mainstream band, downloading and streaming is OK. But what happened to the underground/independent bands? They practically bled and sweat for the community but what are they getting? One would argue that the illegal downloading and unauthorized streaming over the net will expand the band's fanbase but without monetary support, the band would eventually becomes discouraged. It will eventually destroy the community. Slowly but surely.

I had a long discussion on this matter with Campbell Music towkey a.k.a. Auntie. The business is experiencing a meltdown as we speak and she and all music store owners are seeing a bleak future up ahead. People are downloading music indiscriminately and if this thing continue, there'll be no recording artist except for rich fools who share their masterpiece for free...

The name is Campbell Music. The owner is an Auntie and an Uncle. The uncle knows nothing or limited knowledge about metal. But the auntie is well verse with almost any bands you can think of. She can even suggest you metal bands similar to the one you listen/love. Her favourite band is In Flames.

P/s - Their daughter is hot!!!

Tough luck. Kedai Auntie will only be open at 3.00pm onwards or whatever time that is convenient to the owners.

And if you're lucky, their daughter will come together with them but only on a certain day of the week. I'm not going to disclose which day

p/s - Everybody want to go to Kedai Auntie all of a sudden at a mere mention of hot chick aye?

It has been a while since you started the 1st metal thread...

Currently hooked to Gojira.
And yups, Fear Factory new album is a real let down...

Try this for a start to a wonderful world of Doom Metal



Those were their materials back in 90.
Now...

Got all their CD (studio albums) except Reek of Putrefaction. Downloading their stuff is a blasphemy!

Just go to the Musicians under Special Interest section.

You will definitely won't be doing any moshing or diving when they play this:

Somebody say SMOOTH?


Did you guys know that Behemoth has this 'radio disney' version of Demigod?


His whole repertoire.

I think that was taken from 'Cliff 'em all' tape. A lot of early stuff inside and one of them is Cliff playing Aneasthesia with a Rick bass. That's pure orgasm!


Speaking of band from Terengganu, whatever happened to Modar? They are one of my favourite local ol' skool metal beside Infectious Maggots.

Try also Austrian Death Machine

THIS!

Just to share my recent findings:

Grind Minded


The Browning


Penumbra


Silentium


P/S - Gojira's The Way of All Flesh is good. But I think From Mars to Sirius is better IMO.

Thanks for the recommendation. Now I'm hooked!

Previously I was listening to this band on daily basis...
