i went to see Six Feet Under at the Key Club maybe in 02 or 03 and Behemoth was opening. It was when Zos Kia Cultus came out. I had no clue who they were and they came out in the make up and i chuckled to myself and then after a minute i was blown away. Nergal has the best stage presence of any front man I've seen, especially with a guitar in his hands. they are truly epic live... oh yeah, six feet under, fucking bored the shit out of me.
Saw the Whore last night with Muni Waste, cauldron, and phobia. Muni Waste is a bad version of D.R.I. (maybe a good version depending on your age)... but more of the been there, done that..The goatwhore killed it. Singer wore his massive New Orleans S&M leather bondage gloves but with rivets instead of the spikes. Super cool, accessible, humble, and ballz out blitzkrieg Metal! Picked up WPB and "snuff" worries me. Tom keeps chanting over and over and over, "Go murder....Go kill.....Go murder....go kill..." It is like the serial killer "voices in my head" commercialized. You'd think a band that witnessed the Dimebag slaying would be a lil' more responsible. Do I sound like Tipper Gore?!
You're right, Slayer should have lyrics like "let's chill....high five....it's cool brah....we can work it out"

Nice list Brooks55 ! You migth want to check out Malfeitor's Incubus, I think you'll dig it. I got Katatonia's Night Is The New Day, yesterday. They are good as ever ! rockert, I felt a little like you on those Snuff lyrics. First time in 30 years of metal for me that I felt uneasy like that. Weird.
Nesfath, maybe we are just getting old... (or Slayer has kissed the ring of the illuminatus) thanks for the list! I like Ahab too
You might of missed the Hatebreed release "For the Lions" Complete cover album with Black Flag, Misfits, Cro-Mags, Bad Brains, Metallica, Slayer...Sepultura good shite! any upcoming metal releases to look out for?
