Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. I saw that pic of you with the band during the reunion buddy. I think you were wearing a 3X Portis jersey.

Sorry, chubs. I am fabulous and gore metal rules.
Go back to your 2 chord punk rock.

Anyhoo..I'm really liking this band EXHUMED:
These guys are sick and RELAPSE always puts out good music. GORE METAL is where its at, kids.

Stuff like Exhumed where they take the whole early Carcass gore grind thing over the top doesn't really appeal to me. I'd rather just put on Reek of Putrefaction.

Also, I heard a clip of a new Obituary song from their upcoming Relapse LP. Sounded good.

yeah, gore metal seems is pretty boring. i guess some of the music is good though. even most of those old carcass lyrics are stupid as hell though.

wow, at least you are listening to something good. obituary fell off really hard for me, i guess you can chalk that up to releasing the same kind of album many times and going through unstable line ups over the years. i passed on seeing them the last time they came through since they were playing with one guitarist. IMO, all of the florida DM bands became a bad joke-obit, Deicide, Morbid Angel, CC, etc.

Slowly we Rot is a full on rager of a record. Classic Obituary. I don't agree with Obituary becoming a bad joke. Recently,they haven't done anything as ground breaking as their early records, but they haven't put out anything that would be labelled a joke either.

well, they certainly rehashed those first two albums over and over again. going on tour with one guitarist is pretty bad. they also did the whole kickstarter thing, which is not cool in my book. and, they hired the ultimate scab of floridian death metal, ralph santolla, who got kicked out of deicide for being called a fuck up, by glen benton. i think they kicked him out later due to his well documented battles with drugs and drinking. i listened to that frozen in time album once and that was it, but i still own it. basically, when any band goes out and only plays material off of the early albums, lets fans choose the setlist or plays their "classic" album front to back, they are a joke in my book. obituary are guilty of at least two of the above and deicide and morbid angel did that too.

I guess we have different versions of a joke. They never put out a "load/re-load" or a funk record. They kind of just stayed Obituary. I have no problem with that. Works for Motorhead and Slayer.

yeah, but that is just playing it safe. i don't like the new metallica, but at least they tried something new(even though i would have been more than happy with two more albums that sounded like and justice). motorhead have stayed the course, but i gave up on them in the early 90s as far as getting their new records go. i mean, do i really need the last 6 motorhead albums?
slayer would be the perfect example of a metal band that became a joke. put out a shitty nu metal record, messed with their vocal effects, did a whole album of covers(and not cool covers like metallica did), haven't put out a good album since 94, play any fest that some monster energy drink sponsors, stabbed lombardo in the back, piss on the memory of jeff every time they play, and worst of all, backtrack on their lyrics. araya should have died, not jeff.

Man - Mark Tornillo has breathed new life into that band. Three new albums in four years - each of which is stellar. Their set was 50% Tornillo-era and 50% Udo-era. In an age when bands often travel as nostalgia acts and totally ignore their newer records, this was refreshing. The crowd mostly knew the new songs as well which is quite a tribute to their modern era.
As far as Raven, the band put out three of the all-time classic NWOBHM records, but live, I just can't get into it....too much jamming and soloing and wanking off and not enough playing actual songs. I don't think they realize that what might be fun for them to do on stage, becomes boring after awhile to the audience. It was clear - the crowd livened up when they were rocking out their songs, and calmed down to a stand-still status when they were doing the other crap.

Maybe playing it safe. Maybe they just think Obituary should be a certain way and don't want to mess with it. That could be why the Tardy Brothers have their side project. Maybe they just have a great time playing the classic Obituary style stuff. Who knows what goes on in a Tampa Bay metal dude's head anyways. All I know is that I still get stoked on each new Obituary record.
Slayer seems to have let you down in a big way. I can't believe you don't have as much piss and vinegar for Metallica.

that's funny, the last time I saw RAVEN, they kicked ass. they blew away DIAMOND HEAD (or should I say Tatler Head?) Again, can't wait my last week of October is going to look like this.

I like it a lot. I think its their best material to date. Very overpowering and it reminds of the obvious; Integrity.

No, I do know what you're talking about, but maybe when I saw 'em with DIAMOND HEAD, they were opening up and maybe the spent less time doing that. As a headliner, maybe it gives them more time to goof around. I will have to see if that applies.
