Slipknot is great! Since they are from around here, they were always on the radio. They have softened a bit, but they still come out with quality music compared to other nu metal bands of the time.

Yeah, I may have a problem! I've been listening to a ton of them!!

Album of the Week: Pantera - The Great Southern Trendkill (1996)

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlKYtLBla0A

 

Pantera!!! Who doesn't know them?!? Well, if you're a metalhead, you should know of them! This is their 8th album, and was released during a period of great turmoil, as Phil Anselmo became addicted to drugs. The tensions were so high that Phil didn't even record with the rest of the band: while they recorded their parts in Texas, he did his in Louisiana. However, the album still turned out impressive. It continued the trend of each Pantera album being heavier than the one before. I recommend the title track, Suicide Note (both parts), 10's, Drag the Waters, Living Through Me, and of course Floods!!! Which contains what many consider to be Dimebag's best solo of his career.

I really struggle with Pantera. I find them incredibly boring. Never been big on groove metal in general though to be honest.

Album of the Week: Dir en grey - Withering to Death (2005)

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSuKptMQWtA

 

This is one of my all-time favourite Japanese albums, along with Sigh's Ghastly Funeral Theatre. This is some great listening to alternative metal fans, and it has many classics in my opinion. My personal favourite tracks on the album are Merciless Cult, C, Kodokuni Shisu Yueni Kodoku and Itoshisa Ha Fuhai Ni Tsuki. I just love this album so much!!

Album of the Week: Suffocation - Pierced from Within (1995)

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRYwwPvwpQo

 

Time for some BRUTAL DEATH METAL!!!! I was always more familiar with Suffocation's debut album Effigy of the Forgotten, but this album is also considered a classic. While I happen to prefer the debut myself, I do think that this is definitely a worthwhile album. Nice, down-tuned guitars, technical drums, and harsh, gutteral vocals!!
