I played the shit of their Tyranny album!
I'm still listening to this and i have mixed feelings because i couldn't give a proper listen in good conditions yet. But is it me or they sound less like Mgla this time around and more like Dissection (Somberlain era)?
I really need to give it a proper listen, my kid just wants to play with his dad, no time for games or music :D :D :D
Every time they put out a new album i go "no I have enough of their music I don't need more" then buy the new album.
history gonna repeat in 2018!
this just popped up in Youtube recommendations
killer slam, nice production on the drum machine

Full disclosure, these guys saved me from euro dance. From Captain Jack to Triumph of Steel.
Fuller disclosure, I still listen to euro dance and techno sometimes...

Was going to post this, progressive elements make it a real highlight. Don't sleep on that space chaser either, it is great
Yeah I listened to it yesterday and really enjoyed it, thanks for pointing out that they returned!

For me, Uada and Mgla don't really sound the same at all. Exercises in Futility and Devoid of Light may cross paths, but older Mgla is slower paced and I feel like Exercises flows in and out of mid and fast tempo where Devoid is more of an onslaught. When I put Mgla in, it's more relaxing where when I hit play on Uada I'm banging my head and ready to thrash. Uada just feels angrier.
To me, this new Uada feels like an evolution from their debut. When I heard the first single, I was a bit disappointed because it did sound like Devoid of Light leftovers at first, but as a whole, this new album feels more refined with nods back to Devoid but still feeling fresh. I'd almost go as far as saying this and Devoid would work well as a double lp.
I'm new to Dissection so it's not engrained in my head yet, but Somberlain is a killer album. I need to give that a spin again to compare.

I just went to the Illinois stop last night and all the bands were terrific. Top show.
Forces or Mania?
Wait a minute.....
SHIT!
I haven't listened to the new BTBAM album yet!
I didn't even realize Urfaust released a new album.
The LP Christcrusher rex put out of Geist ist Teuful is still my most prized metal LP.

I fell off Iced Earth pretty hard after they fired the ripper. Always thought he brought something new and interesting to their sound (although Barlow is great as always). I really enjoyed the Glorious Burden and their Gettysburg trilogy of songs
Still want to see them live sometime, but they never come anywhere close to me.
Building on that....
What is everyone's favorite metal songs about war? Metallica makes the best songs about war, IMO.
A two piece grindcore/math metal instrumental band:

just played with Sulfuric Cautery last night. hyperblasting gore annihilation
I'd post their 2016 tape but it's got a bloody pic of a dead guy on it so here's a recent live vid

Practically the entire Bolt Thrower catalog. Songs like Lest We Forget and Those Once Loyal have really tragic and thoughtful lyrics.
I also like that they have a song called War and also a song called This Time It's War. You know, just in case you weren't sure.
Iced Earth is the Ted Nugent/Donald Trump wing of power metal. There's way better artists out there that aren't fascists.
Checked out this band called Parkway Drive. They sound kinda neat. But a weird mix of symphonic stuff with choirs in between other more panteraesque groovy stuff.
I put Uada in the same vein as Watain. As in, the are both offspring of the Dissection style of thrashier satanic black
This set rules
Need that new album with the Regurgitate guitarist asap, new songs sound killer

I always thought Slayer was overrated but always considered this song one of the best metal songs of all time. Now that I have seen them live for the first time the other day, I'm reconsidering my overrated feelings towards them.

Watain is another one I need to get more into. Just ordered the Wild Hunt cuz it was cheap but that thrashy side is what I love now that you mention it.

Speaking of Slayers best album...there was a day I'd have said Reign in Blood but as I've gotten to appreciate their discography, Seasons has become what I feel is their most accomplished work. Right off the bat is War Ensemble just blazing balls and then it ends on Seasons with a nice, mellow outro. Everything in between flows nicely. Its just perfect imo.
fully agree but Seasons has always been my fav Slayer album.
was thinking other day about what would be the best intro for songs i listen to and by far ive gotta say its
I think Hell Awaits is my favorite Slayer album. It's raw as hell, and simply contains my favorite Slayer songwriting style.
On the discussion of Slayer, did the band lose something by slowing down their tempos with Seasons and South of Heaven? Both albums are good but I felt something was lost with the slower tempos.
You just described many bands of the era, they all lost a bit of edge doing that
