It's very good, unlike the new Ruins of Beverast which is really weak....
Listened to a couple songs and liked it so I'll have to give it a shot
Just got tickets for this and even if I know and mostly like the 10-12 headliners I don't know any of the bands below the 4th line...any recommendations?
From the headliners my favorites would be Amon Amarth first and foremost, followed by Blind Guardian, Nightwish, Manowar, Priest, Accept and the Murphys

Evil Invaders are good speed metal. Angelus Apatrida is okay thrash metal from Spain

I don't know what they would be playing at show in 2020, but Anthem is great and I'm fairly certain they'd at least break out this classic:
Outside of the ones you mentioned, I'd check out Orange Goblin, Diamond Head, Riot, and My Dying Bride, too. If it were free, anyway. I probably wouldn't pay to see those bands in 2020. I would pay to see Anthem, though.

Thanks! I'll try to check them out, specially Evil Invaders, which is on Friday and it's shaping up to be the best of the 3 days
They'll be playing their greatest hits for sure...is that kind of a Festival, he he
Also we're in 2021! I'm just excited to be able to go to any kind of concert after sooo many months. I think my last one was precisely Amon Amarth around February 2020, which was a pretty good one thank god!
I'm listening to that debut album and it seems pretty great, most of the time. Interesting that I'm listening to heavy metal in 2021 at all. Thanks, I guess, lol.
You need to check out the rest if their discography, fantastic band.
If you like Amon Amarth, i would check out Insomnium (and Belzebubs if you like Insomnium) who fall in the melodic death metal genre.
For something similar to Nightwish and Blind Guardian, Unleash the archers would definitely be worth checking out.
Edit: Interesting find looking at that poster. Insomnium playing on 1.7, Belzebubs 2.7. Meanwhile in Finland, Tuska festival has them both playing on 2.7. That is some logistical wizardry in play to make it from Barcelona to Helsinki.

Knowing who is the organizer of the Barcelona Festival I'm not surprised at all lol
I definitely veer towards the melodic so I'll check them out for sure. Also what a fantastic name Unleash the Archers is
Just discovering some Resurrection - Embalmed Existence. Pretty much a 90's death metal clone of early Malevolent Creation and Solstice (ex members of Malevolent Creation). The production is exactly the same even haha. The spoken word intros before every song is a bit much, but part of the charm.
I ALWAYS forget the band name and find myself going up to people asking, "Hey what's that death metal album with the weird British spoken word intros???"
It's a fine album but those intros are the only real stand-out thing. I even made a post in this very thread about it at some point.
Funny, I've been listening to Enforcer and Tokyo Blade as I type this. The live video & album concert Enforcer just released rules. Will listen to Spitfire now!
The whole damn Enforcer - Live By Fire II concert is up on YouTube!
That Forbidden live segment on Ultimate Revenge 2 was the highlight. First album rips and that intro riff on Through Eyes of Glass 🤤. Paul Bostaph's drumming was really underrated on that album. Somehow the 2nd album really fucking sucked.

I think Forbidden Evil is a better album than Twisted Into Form because I prefer the more raw production, but Twisted is still great.
Anyway I've been listening to this classic on repeat today:

I would not rank Fobidden Evil as a top 15 bay area thrash albums, Twisted into Form would be in my top 5. Think very few have matched it as a technical thrash masterpiece
Cryptosis released their debut album and it's a killer.
I'm not much into live albums but I may have to check it out.
New Aara album was released today. I've been looking forward to this since January.
Their last album was awesome. I listened to it a ton while reading Dune so now it's a weird unofficial soundtrack to those books. Caught a listen to the new one this morning and it seems good. Cant compare to the first just yet.
For as long as I've been into metal Dawn has been pretending to work on new material. Is it finally happening????
This new Gojira album seem to be shaping up to be pretty excellent (wich is quite normal, given it's Gojira).
Wasn't trying to be dismissive earlier, as I had bought the vinyl split with vektor and tshirt for the band, so I do like it, just not as much.
Song is fucking killer though
Oy, thank you for this! 1 song in and I'm already into this. This is 100% my style of black/thrash. Hopefully it keeps up.
That Cryptosis album is something I'd usually avoid based on the logo and album art, but it's pretty good!
Reminded me of Crypticus (in name only):

Thanks for highlighting both of this! Briefly checked out that Spitfire album, and liked what I initially heard.
I'm not much for live albums in general (unless it's old recorded material played in a new setting), but will definitely watch the live album in video form. Enforcer put on a great live show.
I'm really enjoying this techy power prog album (edit: holy shit it's really awesome)... New release from Immortal Guardian.

all Crypticus is super underrated IMO. Great Razorback death metal.
I somehow missed this on my facebook feed. Will always remember getting to watch them live a few years ago, so I am nothing but patient about any new release from them.
First impression and I'm really digging it. Will check out the rest tomorrow, thanks for sharing!
No problem!
Here are a couple of great black metal releases I found thanks to Bandcamp:

It sounds so good. You can really hear the Hatecrew/AYDY influences in there along with some Naildown touches. I've always wanted Bodom without keyboard solos. Shame this is all we'll get once the next songs have dropped.
I bought my first metal paraphernalia (physical CD, record, shirt, anything) in around 10 years (I moved to Japan and refuse to pay the prices here) due to The Crypt having a free international shipping deal going last week. I may never financially recover from this.
If anyone's interested in underappreciated death/thrash/black? (I guess they have Gehenna stuff) metal I highly recommend using The Crypt's catalogue as a starting point.
Edit: I tell a lie, I forgot I ordered the Amazon print-to-order collection of Death Vomit zine last year. Check your local Amazon for better shipping prices if not in the US.
