    Thumbs up The SRP Heavy Metal thread

    Meeme's introduction thread has shown that several of us are Heavy Metal enthusiasts

    I have felt that a specific thread would be nice. So here we can discuss everything related to the finest Heavy Metal music: new releases, neglected gems, old and obscure acts -or not, recommendation inquiries, etc. Feel free to share anything you have lately liked. YouTube or MySpace links are obviously welcome. I know that YMMV but please try to keep a high standard -i.e. no mallcore.

    Postscript:
    Understand "Heavy Metal" as a generic term for the whole genre. You can talk about any subgenre, for instance Doom Metal, Thrash Metal, Avant-garde stuff...

    Eagerly awaiting Manowar's new album, and praying to the Gods that they visit Belgium again.
    Imo Manowar is what all metal bands should aspire to.

    Lightbulb PAGAN ALTAR

    I would like to talk about my current personal favourite act, PAGAN ALTAR.

    This is an old British band formed in 1978. Their first LP, Volume 1, recorded in 1982, was only released in 1998! They have recorded since then 2 other albums. IMHO their latest one, Mythical & Magical (2006), is their best. Vocalist Terry Jones (not the Monty Python member!) has a strange and occult voice. As soon as you get used to it, you will really like it.
    You can listen to PAGAN ALTAR tracks at their MySpace page or download tracks from their official site.

    What do you think of PAGAN ALTAR?

    I really don't like heavy metal that much, except for Iron Maiden. And Thin Lizzy if that qualifies...
    I'm more into the heavier stuff like Meshuggah, The Dillinger Escape Plan...

    I love H.I.M. Saw them a few months back in Sydney and they were great. Not into a whole lotta other metal, though I am gaining an appreciation for the 80s glam bands (Whitesnake and the Scorpions at the moment).

    +1 on Porcupine Tree. I've seen them twice here in San Francisco. Although not metal (more prog rock) they really tear it up live.

    I myself enjoy metal nearly exclusively. Most recently, I have been enjoying the new album "obzen" by Meshuggah, it's fantastic. I tend to go for the crazier math metal (eg Converge) although depending on my mood I may go for something a bit more symphonic like In Flames or Dimmu Borgir. I also enjoy the work of Nile. sorry, no youtube links, I'm at work right now.
