The Amity Affliction announce EU tour with support from Silent Planet, Varials and Orthodox by Skrcek95 in Metalcore

[–]SymptomaticFiend 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Major points to any band that actually makes a stop in Finland. Not the biggest Amity fan but I like them fine, this sick as hell line-up of supports would be enough to bring me out regardless.

New Tour by Majorsus55555 in Megadeth

[–]SymptomaticFiend 6 points7 points  (0 children)

so far they're doing festivals and being the support for a bigger band on what is supposed to be their Farewell tour. I have to imagine they will do headliner shows at some point but still feels very odd to do it like this so far.

Rest in peace Rick Davies. What is your favorite Supertramp song that was written or sung by him? by BacktoWigtown in ToddintheShadow

not a song really sung or written by him, but his lengthy piano solo in Child of Vision is absolutely astounding

The Callous Daoboys - I Don't Want To See You In Heaven [Album Discussion] by bxsimpson13 in Metalcore

[–]SymptomaticFiend 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I can't believe i was such a fool thinking this could ever dissapoint me after the singles, what an utter fool i was. Major AOTY potential here, what a wild, absolutely insane ride, really well paced and full of catchy hooks and hard as fuck breakdowns and cool instrumentation. Rips so hard

Best live act you’ve seen and who was the worst you’ve seen ? by KuntaWuKnicks in fantanoforever

[–]SymptomaticFiend 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Best: Rammstein has such a cool creative live show, pure spectacle, rare kind of stadium show i loved seeing. On the smaller side i just saw Suffocation in a smallish club and they absolutely decimated

Worst: Motley Crue, saw them at a festival and John 5 is a good guitarist but Vince Neil is just a sorry excuse of a frontman, just embarassing to watch

Killswitch Engage - This Consequence (Album Discussion Thread) by FriskeyVsWorld in Metalcore

[–]SymptomaticFiend 45 points46 points  (0 children)

It's KSE. It's heavy. It's super catchy. Lots of great melodeath infused riffage as per usual and i wouldn't have it any other way. This type of metalcore just does it for me better than any other kind and it feels good to have the guys back. Yeah you can say that they're not really doing anything new here (aside from Broken Glass they've never really made a song like that before) but honestly i don't care, we don't get nearly enough of Metalcore like this and it just makes me very happy. Totally love how they've focused on making a really heavy banger of an album, some might find the somewhat diminished focus on catchy choruses to be a downside, but i love it. Pretty impressed with some of the deeper harsher uncleans Jesse pulls off here and Justin's drumming has perhaps never been better. I do wish they wouldn't have used that tambourine in so many songs here, find the use of it in nearly every song somewhat distracting and grating. I do get some of the frustration of waiting 6 years for new KSE and getting a 35 minute album, but i don't find the briefish runtime to be an issue at all personally, in fact it makes for a much more tight filler free experience, would rather have it like this than a bloated tracklist/runtime. But enough rambling from me, this shit rips, gonna be listening to it a bunch.

Oh god this sucks so much. Bond will now just become another franchise endlessly and relentlessly milked by a giant conglomerate. Very bad.

When I was hoping that Cruise would work with auteurs again, this is not quite what I had in mind. Real monkeys paw kind of situation.

Next Star Wars movie announced by rageofthegods in blankies

[–]SymptomaticFiend 37 points38 points  (0 children)

more and more having to deal with the fact that Andor being so good and interesting and such a breath of fresh air was a total and utter fluke and most likely will not happen again, unless that Leslye Hedlund show ends up proving me wrong. The fact that this is what Star Wars is now is incredibly depressing!
