Up The Irons
 

Well, it's been a while since I've done one of these, but I suppose that's more than enough reason for me to go ahead with it.

Alright, puke-stacks, this is your fucking wake-up call! Here is a comprehensive list of all of the badass metal and hard rock that you guys should be killing babies to but probably aren't.

Looking for something to bludgeon your grandmother to death by? Try a few of these.

Arch Enemy - "We Will Rise", "Leader Of The Rats" or "Dead Eyes See No Future"
DevilDriver - "I Could Care Less", "I Dreamed I Died" or "Cry For Me Sky"
The Haunted - "Bury Your Dead" or "Trespass"
Bleeding Through - "Love Lost In A Hail Of Gunfire" or "Revenge I Seek"


Maybe something with a more liberal mix of harmony and violence? Here ya go.

Killswitch Engage - "When Darkness Falls", "Rose Of Sharyn" or "The End Of Heartache"
Demon Hunter - "Infected", "Through The Black" or "A Broken Upper Hand"
Into Eternity - "Splintered Visions", "Spiraling Into Depression" or "Buried In Oblivion"
Opeth - "The Leper Affinity" or "The Drapery Falls"


Want more melody in your metal? How about a few of these?

Devin Townsend - "Earth Day", "Stagnant", "Storm" or "Slow Me Down"
Primal Fear - "Mind Machine", "Black Sun" or "Armageddon"
Ocean Machine - "Seventh Wave", "Life" (< HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) or "Hide Nowhere"


And finally, this one is for all of you who are feeling uber adventurous today. The following recommendation is a single, 70-minute track of sheer horror.

Fantomas - Delirium Cordia

That single track is the hands-down most terrifying thing I've ever heard. The scariest, most unsettling musical arrangement ever concieved. Listen to it at night, alone, better yet, in your car and try not to piss yourself. If you're truly up for it, I would highly recommend giving it a shot.

And that about does it for this most recent installment of metal madness. If I happen to remember any new additions that I accidentally left out, I'll be sure to add them. Be reminded, this is only a list of the most recent stuff I've picked up. If you're interested in further recommendations, I've got an entire vault of vicious metal for you to take a bite out of. Just say the word.

As always, this is your good friend Raziel, saying "Horns Up, Motherfuckers!"

Fantomas - Delirium Cordia

Can this be found in the kazaa network?

I'm not sure. Fantomas is actually a fairly well-known band, considering it's the brainchild of Mike Patton, former frontman for Faith No More. Considering that, I would assume that you could find it on Kazaa, but I would expect the file size to be pretty damned big.

Come to Minnesota, I'll buy your CD.

Um, I'm not actually promoting my band's CD, HoH. I'm giving you guys the heads up on a ton of other bands that you guys should check out.

I'm checking out Fantomas, I'll let you know what I think about it as soon as the downlaod finishes and I can fire this sucker up.

Isn't your band named WhiteCastle or some shit?

Ocean Machine "Life"

I believe you're looking for "Wintermask".

Damn, D3V, that was one of the lamest attempts at humor I've seen you dry-heave onto this forum in quite some time. Try again when your wit grows in, poozer.

Ah geez, I forgot your Sig was an advertisement for your CDs and Band. Goofy me.

Enough said.

Delirium Cordia isn't on the kazaa network. Could someone transfer it to me via Aim or some other way?

I could do it if I catch you online sometime, I still haven't had time to listen to it all the way through yet.

cool I'll message ya when I have free time and your online.

Raziel, you're awesome for recommending Opeth. Sweet band.

Opeth fucking rocks. I still need to pick up their last two. The newest one I own is Blackwater Park, and that's a few years old.

I just found a new way to fuck myself out of sleep.

I was listening to Delirium Cordia while trying to sleep and right at the part were the children start screaming For some reason I said in my head "Bloodymary" 9 times..... I can't sleep now damnit. o_O

You were listening to Delirium Cordia and trying to sleep? I think you were setting out to deprive yourself of rest right from the get-go.

I felll asleep while listening to it about 10 minutes after I posted the above post.

I've heard plenty of those on Midnight Metal. All great, except a couple.
