Through a weird rabbit hole conversation I just discovered African metal. and I like it!

[devo22]

those guitars, man. So beautiful.

[dammage79]

Very few get me going like Insomium does. They're masters of their craft.

[PaperBagger'14]

Anthrax, Black Label Society and Exodus are in Calgary at the Grey Eagle. Jan 22nd (Sunday...bleh) is the date for the show. I haven't check on ticket prices yet but I think they are still in pre sale.

I'm liking the new Babymetal tracks, less J-pop influence and more like feel-good metal

[DownInFlames]

New Metallica single.

Metallica playing 2 shows at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, not next year but Aug 2024. Pantera opening the first show, kinda tempted.

That's a long way out. We will have to see how this whole Pantera thing with Zakk Wylde goes.

[Engine09]

I have absolute faith in Benante, the guy is insanely talented and such a pro. Zakk on the other hand is a buffoon, his pinch harmonics and fake lumberjack biker persona is tiring.

I wish tickets didn't go on sale so soon for a show almost two years from now. At first I wasn't planning on it because I don't know where I'll be two years from now and Edmonton isn't a place I'd prefer to go to for a concert. But now I'm having second thoughts and wondering if I should.

I could always sell them if something comes up in a city that's more convenient.

great song...cool they are playing two shows in every place with totally different set lists (although not good on the wallet)
2024 is a long way off though

New album in April

I'm biased here, as an admitted fanboy, but these guys are one of THE top live bands out there right now...Avatar!

Avatar is amazing. I really hope the next time they come through it is an all ages venue so I can take my kids.

Yup same for me, the last two were 18+.

I would pay quite a bit for a full album of this

Yeah, I've watched a few of Andre's videos over the last couple of years and although most of them are funny or interesting I too agree these are the first ones that I have listened to repeatedly because I think they are just plain awesome and rock.

[devo22]

two bands I really like have released new singles and announced new albums today. Rejoice!

[devo22]

I like this young prog band from Australia. Their latest EP is a fun ride

[Erick Estrada]

I didn't really know much about this band but I kept seeing the album on "best of 2022" lists so downloaded it and it's a lot of fun. Kind of an 80's Slayer meets wild west theme.
