What Are You Listening To Now IV? *ARCHIVE*

[Howie]

By the way, I hear that Luca Turilli's 2nd album was much better, so check that one out while you're at it.

The 2nd album is MUCH better than the first, yup.

W.A.S.P. - Hellion

From their first album (and their best album). One of the better songs W.A.S.P. has recorded...

[Jimmy Onestroke]

Faraquet - Cut Self Not

Great mathy indieieieeiy postpunk. One of a bunch of cuntingly good bands that I started listening to ages ago and only recently realised is on Dischord, which I hadn't bothered much with before. It's nice to have a cheap distributor of good albums...

[Soeru]

Valhalla - Guardians of Metal

Power metal from Spain! Yay! ... although Dark Moor is vastly superior, this band is pretty good too. A bit cheesy, especially since the vocalist has a HUGE Spanish accent... but I still like it. I think they should just keep their lyrics in Spanish, they're not very well known outside of Spain anyway.
It would be cool if these guys sped up their riffs a bit and turned their music into speed metal, cuz this band just feels like it's missing those insanely fast riffs.

[Frozen Sky]

A Perfect Circle - The Hollow

Haven't listen to APC in ages

[Soeru]

Avulsed - Sweet Lobotomy

My favorite Spanish band. Great death metal, and Dave Gore is one hell of a vocalist.

Edit:
Necrophagist - Only Ash Remains

The sheer technical-ness will give metalheads an erection. I've never heard death metal so well organized and nicely done since Arsis. That wasn't so long ago...

Edit2:
Nightrage - Gloomy Daydreams

This is a band featuring At the Gates' vocalist(for those of you who don't know, At the Gates is a well-known melodic death metal band from the 90's that recently split up). Great stuff, not as thrashy as At the Gates, but it has a lot in common with Skyfire and In Flames... so there.

[Slim]

Green Day - Give Me Novocaine

Every song I've heard off American Idiot has been awesome and this is no exception. Definite improvement on Warning...

[Soeru]

"Nightfall" (From the Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake OST)

Damn, the music from this game is very well done. Despite being such an old computer, the MSX had an outstanding sound chip.

[Dingy]

Mew-She Spider....The guitar is so damn good.

[Hangman]

Mew-She Spider....The guitar is so damn good.

Yay, me and skinner are no longer the only Mew fans here

Pink Floyd - In The Flesh

Oh God, YES!

[Soeru]

Dark Moor - Maid of Orleans

Cheesy? Hell no! This band is quickly becoming one of my favorite power metal bands(I'm not very deep into this genre, but this band just seems superb to me. It's second only to Hammerfall in my opinion). Best of all, the band is from everyone's favorite country: Spain! This song is from back when they had a female vocalist, who didn't do the cheesy "gothic fallen angel/evanescence" type of singing.

[johnny blaze]

Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon - Day Tripper

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY TRIPPAAAA~

[Dingy]

a day in the life of-Beatles...
Fun listening to someone high talk about someone dead.

[Esememon]

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Chemical Plant Zone

No one who remixes this song will ever do it as well as it is done in the original. Dig that groove, baby!<But seriously, the remixes may have higher quality samples, but who gives a rip? Bam!>

[youthquake]

i don't know what this song is. it's on TV and from the show Radio Free Roscoe.

but it has the best synth line i have heard in a long long time.

[Soeru]

Pandemonium - Morninglight Revery

One of the best songs on the Insomnia album(kind of hard to pick tracks since there are only 7 songs on the album). Gets a bit doomish in between, but overall it's pretty melodic. The main verses with the piano and the light choruses are damned cool. I'd add a growled "morning light revery" somewhere in that part though, I just feel like it's missing that... oh well.
