The Metal Thread

fiiiiinally, new MTS. Need an album soon.

[Hemi-Cuda]

Alestorm + hurdy gurdy is a no-brainer combo

[devo22]

I love how the metal scene has just adopted Poppy and she knocks it out of the park every time.



bonus points for the reggaeton breakdown lol.

[devo22]

the new Unleash the Archers album is pretty cool.

[Harry Lime]

Got some change, and ended up with a coin that looked like a loonie. 1 million Avataros, which I guess is a marketing thing for the Swedish glam metal band Avatar. It actually looks like its been circulating a while.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Still one of the best riffs in metal history.

[Hemi-Cuda]

Hell Yes



The comment section is gold too

Yeah this is much better than the last time Germany and Japan got together.

[Hemi-Cuda]

This is the most Canadian thing I've ever seen from a non-Canadian band

[Puppet Guy]

^^^^^^^^





Between that and their cover of Barrett's Privateers, I move that Alestorm is granted honorary Canadian citizenship immediately.

[Hemi-Cuda]

Damn they sound good live

I don't care about the Olympics one bit, but Gojira performing a song from the French Revolution on freaking a castle next to a beheaded Marie Antoinette during the opening ceremony is ####ing awesome. Too bad there's no versions on Youtube yet where commentators actually shut up.

[DownInFlames]

I found an Australian video of the opening ceremony in 4K that seems to have a version without commentary. The thing is I don't know how to share it without it getting taken down right away too.

Not YT, but here's a clean version:

While looking for the Gojira performance on YT, the algorithm fed me this and I'm not complaining

Growls are back, really promising first song for their new album.

[Erick Estrada]

Wow! I thought he was done with the growls as Watershed was the last album with growls. This is awesome.

[devo22]

love me some decent live recordings. Two of my favourite bands for a while ... saw both of them live in recent months as well and thought they were excellent. Still have Spiritbox on my "to watch live" list, but that'll change next February. Can't wait!

[DownInFlames]

I like these guys.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Threw this one on today for the first time in a bit, still as good as ever. Maybe the best Canadian metal album ever, and maybe the best metal album of the last 15 years.
