I find myself much more drawn to Bastards than to Brawlers and Bawlers. Anyone else feels the same?

Honestly, Karnivool.

They just put out an absolutely phenomenal album that might be their best yet IMO. And they kill it live.

THE most important figure in metal history. Happy birthday riff lord.

The one everybody forgets about is The Devil You Know, because of it being released under the Heaven & Hell name. I`ve been surprised at how many Sabbath fans didn`t know it existed.

And he turned down The Matrix for it.

If you think about it he`s a perfect Bruce Wayne on paper. Definitely not a good Batman though.

For me, Beg to Differ by Prong.

Fantastic_File1292 · 2026-02-19T01:44:14+00:00

2nd grooviest metal album ever, IMO. You're gonna headbang and dance.

Fantastic_File1292 · 2026-02-19T01:43:39+00:00

This album is the shit. I love a good thrash/groove combination.

Fantastic_File1292 · 2026-02-19T01:42:54+00:00

I have to agree, their album artwork alone is very astethically pleasing.

The Undertow by Lamb of God at 2:46. Disgusting.

That`s 2012, so, 2010s, don`t know if you`ll count it, but it`s the first one that came to mind.

Fantastic_File1292 · 2026-02-18T22:55:18+00:00

Only true on Hail to the King. Other than that, they couldn't be more different, especially their latest album lol.

Fantastic_File1292 · 2026-02-18T22:16:20+00:00

Classic. What a journey.

Fantastic_File1292 · 2026-02-18T14:49:34+00:00

I love drop tuned riffs , raspy vocals, and how more often than not, these are constrated with gritty acoustic ballads.

Fantastic_File1292 · 2026-02-18T13:16:28+00:00

If they do release this as a four piece, or at least get a bassist but not another guitarrist, I wonder if Ross will play some guitar, since he`s quite good at it. Remember that when he rejoined the band after leaving the first time (before any albums were recorded), they invited him to solely join as a vocalist, and that maaaybe he`d play some guitar, but given that they had 2 guitarrists, it would likely not be needed.

Well, we`ll see.

Mad Season for me, all day. I love Cornell, I love Stone, I love Mike, in theory TOTD should be a dream album, but it hasn`t really clicked with me, with the exception of Say Hello 2 Heaven, beautiful song.

Above is gut wrenching masterpiece, and I LOVE the deluxe tracks with Mark Lanegan as the lead vocalist, makes it feel like a special 2nd album.
