What Are You Listening To Now?

[Soeru]

Its defintately a metal song, ill just send it to you.

Just heard it. Not bad, but it's not really metal. Hard rock at most. Don't get me wrong, it's good, I'm just not into rock anymore... I do respect the roots though. The guy has a prominent British accent, are they from the UK?

Dark Tranquillity - The New Build

Woo! I got my hands on DT's new album about 2 or months before its release. This is the first track on the album, sounds great. I almost thought it was BM-ish cuz of the blastbeat at the beggining. Mikael sounds great, bit by bit he's starting to sound more like he used to back in 1994(In Flames), higher pitched and more raspy. Great melody in this song, sad like most DT songs, with great riffage and nice drumming. Nice piano in the background, but its not too loud, so I'm happy they still don't overuse keyboards.

Glad to see DT is still the good old DT. Why can't all modern metal be like this?

Edit:

Dark Tranquillity - Out of Nothing

Yes! Damn, they sure haven't let me down yet. Their songs are still full of beutiful progression and complexity. The lyrics are as metaphoric as always, but relatively easy to see through if you sit down and read them/listen to them a few times. Not exactly Opeth, but it's along those lines(for those of you who like Opeth). Who said Gothenburg metal was dead? It's still fucking kicking.
