When talking about melodic vocals/80's metal, I immediately think of King's X.

Metal is definitely not a label I would associate with King's X.

'Reality' is the only word in the language that should always be used in quotes.

What this thread obviously needs is Hungarian metal youtube links. Thankfully I am here to deliver the goods (or is that 'bads'?  awesome, for real)

Sear Bliss (growly black metal with trumpets and ridiculous accents... not that it matters due to the aforementioned growling)
Mindflowers (instrumental prog... hey, this one is in my playlist!)
Thy Catafalque (mostly instrumental... they really like that distortion pedal)
Dalriada (folk metal with obligatory singer chick... yeah I know. Don't look at me!)
Depresszió (random pop metal thing)
Ossian (attack of the 80s)
Superbutt (high-budget CGI alert  why so serious?)

IMO, a big reason for their lack of commercial success was that they didn't fit neatly into any genre/sub-genre.

And partly because they were wrongly labeled as "christian" music, and everyone knows that metal is for The Devil!  why so serious?

They were signed to a metal record company (at least I think it was nothing but metal acts back then), toured with metal acts, etc...

I realize they don't exactly define the term "metal", though.

Ron Jarzombek has another band which I haven't heard of.  Holy shit this is good.  Always loved Spastic Ink.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p9zVIR-gwg&feature=related

Just in case you were wondering what the 7 least anticipated albums of 2012 are, Cracked.com has put together a belly laugher of a list that is certainly worth reading.

I vaguely heard them in the distance at the last woodstock. Worked with a guy in the warehouse who LOVED them. I guess he was a Juggalo. Used to let the guys bring in music as long as it was up-tempo (good working music). One spin and that was the last of ICP.

Every time I see mention of ICP I think of when I started playing Quake in college I was running around with some GWAR related name and some kid said to me "hey man if you like GWAR you should check out Insane Clown Posse".

Told him that I was not interested in listening to a bunch of no talent hacks, then promptly asked the server admin (who lived across the hall in the dorm) to boot him.

I agree with his list.  Which amuses me.  The Scorpions re-recording their hits and some 60's covers as a final send-off album?  I'd feel ripped off too.  Shame to see a band with a quite impressive catalog go out so pathetically.

And Juggalos\ICP are a bunch of fucking idiots.

Cover albums can be totally awesome. But, probably not cover albums by the Scorpions.

Mastodon is touring with Ghost and Opeth right now, if you live somewhere in the civilized world.

I don't.  Heartbreak

edit Since I have Mastodon in the truck, I was listening to Ghost on the tube this morning. That led to what I'm listening to now:

Mournful Congregation - The Book of Kings. A bit cookie, but for the most part it's used well. Epic slab of sludge.

edit moar - Some days I just like to hammer through the links on the youtube sidebar and see what turns up. How did I not know about Suma (other than their older stuff isn't on amazon)?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdSH2MtII9U
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8K6LsDLek-8

moar - Temple of the Smoke - Deadly Skies
Buffalo Killers - Huma Bird
Dead Meadow - Me & the Devil Blues
http://soundcloud.com/temple-of-the-smoke/sets/against-human-race

That Temple of the Smoke is pretty interesting. Part Floyd Echoes, part Melvins, part Celtic Frost, part Slackers or King Django.

I like a lot of things, but some rock opera / instrumental is nice from time to time. Right now I'm on an alternative kick (Bush, Dead Confederate, Broken Bells, the XX) and New Orleans rock (??) like the Heavy and the Black Keys. Throw in some dance-ish electronica (Bassnectar, Glitch Mob). Trying to get back into more mainstream rock, but nothing is that appealing - foo fighters? eh.

I don't listen to much metal though, so yeah GWAR and Mastodon doesn't do it for me. How about some Van Halen?  awesome, for real

The new Van Halen album I've heard. It's the one with David Lee Roth back as singer, but with Wolfgang Van Halen on bass instead of Michael Anthony (because Eddie apparently got pissy when Anthony played with Sammy Hagar - Eddie is a vindictive dickbag). The CD is DAMN GOOD. It's very much in the mold of pre-Diver Down VH, almost no synth to be heard, very guitar heavy. Roth is in prime form. There isn't a bad track on the thing.

the first single Tattoo was... well fuck it was this bad:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvAvMTyIvJ4&feature=related

that said, I have heard that was the worst track on the album.  I just haven't sacked up enough to actually check the whole album out.  Every fiber in my body says that this has to be horrible.

I browsed through some of the samples on the tubes, Tattoo is definitely the worst of the lot. Saying there isn't a single bad track is a bit much.

That said, I'm leaning towards buying this. There's enough good stuff, even if they threw a few unnecessary wrenches in (what the hell is that feedback sound in The Trouble With Never?! Ruins a good track).

You know what album it really made me want? The demos.

then this:

Bottom line on the new VH: no Michael Anthony vox is a huge loss.

Rumor has it that Chickenfoot's new album is better. With that you get MA's backing vocals.

I actually liked Tattoo and thought it was one of the catchier tunes on the album. Different strokes.
