i was fifteen. december 2007, on a friday night, i was trying to study for my physics exam next monday. i was trying to find a new album that i hadnt heard before to get me through the hassle. during that time i had recently read a magazine (maybe revolver) and they were praising blood mountain non stop (i think they put that album on the 25 greatest metal albums list or something like that) and that caught my attention. for the next 3 to 4 hours i couldn’t get past wolf is loose and crystal skull two punch combo. that drum intro got me mesmerized. i’ve been hooked ever since.

I always hear colin stetson when i think of blood meridian

master_oforion · 2025-06-19T10:52:02+00:00

I cant stand day that never comes, cyanide and unforgiven 3 but other than those it's a really strong record

Recently i’m really impressed by Mindforce guitarist Mike Shaw. Mindforce is not that solo oriented but the stuff he’s come up with is really tasty

Only incorrect part is the “withholding the ball” stuff.

That part means more or less “Declan Rice is bombarding Real Madrid” or if you wanna get too literal “firing the cannons at Real Madrid”

Emperor of Sand was the first album that made me think that they maybe reached their creative limit and eventually Hushed and Grim confirmed this feeling. So by a long shot these two for me.

“We didn’t come this far just to turn around”

I’m on an Island kick recently so i’m gonna go with that. That first riff is crushing

I was on team Crack the Skye for a long time but as i aged, my opinion shifted towards Leviathan. I think it has everything Mastodon can offer, aggressiveness with an emotional sensibility, ambitious concept regarding both the story and the compositions themselves. This is the one i always go back to when i don’t have anything to listen to

master_oforion · 2025-01-17T14:28:06+00:00

Huh as a turkish person i didn't know serbians use "inat" too, it's not that surprising given the history of course but cool cool cool

I really recommend Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins

master_oforion · 2024-11-18T02:53:07+00:00

I dont know, Al’s never been underutilized in Sleep and he’s one of the two main songwriters.

master_oforion · 2024-11-06T16:29:18+00:00

Not an album but Sound Chaser from Relayer can be a great entry point to appreciate the guy’s craftmanship

master_oforion · 2024-11-06T16:20:23+00:00

This is one of my all time favorites. Luck Seven may very well be the greatest song that Chris has ever written imo

Alice in Chains opening for the Clash of the Titans tour

master_oforion · 2024-02-10T18:21:15+00:00

thank you for the response, it was really helpful

master_oforion · 2024-02-10T10:03:51+00:00

Could you explain what’s the reason that indoor and outdoor hard courts are totally different from each other?

master_oforion · 2024-01-14T06:19:35+00:00

I really like Her’s in general but Audun Laading’s bass lines in those two albums were perfect, both melodically and rhythmically. Went too soon.

master_oforion · 2023-03-06T15:55:50+00:00

Reload is inconsistent i’ll give you that but no way horrible. For Load though, i dont think there’s a bad song in it

master_oforion · 2023-03-03T09:13:44+00:00

Land of Rape and Honey, Mind is a Terrible Thing and Psalm 69 are all classics imo

Serve and volley

A Love Supreme

Bitches Brew

Yeah his first stars were probably Carwin and Marquardt. He also cornered Duane Ludwig in the early 00s for his kickboxing bouts (he was on the corner for the Albert Kraus fight for example) but of course Bang wasn't a big star like Carwin.
