There's a new TesseracT album out today. It's quite a bit different from their previous outing. The instrumentation is still top notch but the vocals are... uhh.. new?
Indeed I've been listening to it pretty constantly throughout the week. They'll be playing near my apartment in a couple weeks. I'm thinking I will go see them.
So I've been listening to a lot of Iron Maiden again. Can somebody explain to me why "Murders in the Rue Morgue" did not become one of their greatest hits? The song is never counted among their more known songs and it hasn't appeared on any of their compilation albums either, and they have like six of those damn things.
I usually give metal I find boring another shot a week later. I mean, bad metal, trashy metal, or metal that takes itself too seriously for me to enjoy, I can filter that stuff out immediately. But if I'm not engaging with an album, half the time it's because I'm in the wrong headspace, not because it's not engaging, and it sucks me in on the second try. The other half of the time, I see why I didn't like it and drop it before the first song is done.
They are. Mad respect and all, but pretty much everything written prior to 1988 has been outclassed.
To be fair, that's 25 years ago. I'd hope the state of the art has advanced in that much time.
Indeed! This is a thing to celebrate! Metallica (and the other 3 to a lesser extent) did their job - innovated in the day, and inspired a generation of artists to surpass them.
They said a couple of years ago that the new album would be a continuation of the Sex Tapes sound, and that this is. But damn is it a good track, self consistent and spaced out enough to not be at 11 all of the time, which was my only complain with Scurrilous. I'm glad I backed this one up on their indiegogo campaign.

Just fucking listen to it. Then get the whole album.
I feel lost.
I just finished Deceiver of the Gods...and it was boring. Exceeding in its mediocrity.
Am I broken? Am I just in the wrong mood?
help plz
Wait a few days and try again.

Lyric writing isn't the best but GOD DAMN Rody can sing.
