Mastodon released a song from their forthcoming concept album. Sounds like I'll once again be spending evenings just sitting there with my headphones on. Which will be exactly what is needed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og39iIBeOHI

Starting Sunday, streaming services will be able to offer Prince's catalog from 1977-1996.
Yay!

Ghost is indeed awesome and has been mentioned in this thread before.

I like that bit best, too. I think I've posted that very video here I also like that he wears the mask without the makeup and miter :) Here's some ear candy to make this post somewhat useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpngcB-XoGI

It's worth the blood! The au naturel version also makes an appearance in this video, as satan I think (NSFW): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkBt7yLXyDkI really really dig their schtick, a pulpy rendition of christian mythos. Thanks for the band tip, I was on a sludge/stoner roll before stumbling onto Ghost.

That's pretty cool, thanks. I don't think she's the taste of this forum but I saw BANKS live on Monday and she was pretty damn good.

Your Amazon.com order of "Emperor Of Sand" has shipped! But no Auto-rip :( I've been spoiled with buying CDs at Amazon, usually get the digital version and then the higher quality physical 'backup'. Then again, lately I've been buying FLAC through bandcamp, soo....

Amazon came through with the autorip, yay.
I'm pretty much obsessed with the Mastodon. It's sooo good. Not perfect, but really amazing and inspirational. Shifting my expectations to not expect every album to be CtS has really opened my ears to their later stuff. Only time I get bummed out is when they're too shouty/growly. I like singing, and they have several good singers, so blah.

Yes, the new Mastodon is really good, and perhaps their best since Crack the Skye. They really do well with the melodic stuff too.

Hmm, I will have to have a youtube listen before purchasing, cuz their promoted singles aren't grabbing me near as much as their older stuff. Like not even in the same ballpark. Then again, I tend to like many of the less popular tracks, such as "Chimes at Midnight" and "Oblivion" rather than say, for example "Curl of the Burl" and "High Road"

Show Yourself is the only rock track on it. Otherwise it's a nice mix of their growth as a band. My main complaint is probably that guest vocalist dude. The guys in the band just killed the vocals on this album, so good and some great harmony work. I love how they've grown as a vocal unit. Then this dude just comes and blarfs all over things. It worked a little on CtS, but felt out of place with the growth on this one. And for me, it's resonating with where I am in life. Both the shit I've gone through the last few years with losing people and near losses; and also the inspiration and strength that's given me to start growing into the person I want to be. So many great moments as I listen through (it's on repeat in the truck for a while). Today was Brent Hinds on Jaguar God. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvSPWG_mE4c

The new Father John Misty is really good, but goddamn it sounds like Don McLean sings the post-apocalypse. fairly NSFW album art used for the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKrSYgirAhcLots of Trump imagery when he gets to the clowns and goons lyrics, heh. He even makes a good stab at himself in the video.

Gotta remember to visit this thread from time to time...never heard of Ghost before, kind of digging it.
And speaking of Swedish bands, any of you heard Stone Division? Only one album released and it is a bit formulaic and samey, but I like it anyway.

And I just found out that another of my favorites, Amaranthe, is also Swedish. So apparently I like Swedish rock bands for some reason.

I'm a bit weird in that I dislike most "classic" metal, but am otherwise obsessed with some of the newer metal genres...not even sure what to call them most of the time. Metalcore? NuMetal? Alternative Metal? I wish I had a better musical vocabulary.
Speaking of I'm-not-sure-what-to-call-it, I am also really digging that Huntress album someone mentioned earlier in the thread. Tell me they're not Swedish.

Not Swedish. They're from Highland Park, CA.

for anyone into the postrock thing, these folks do it rather well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBwe8EReJ9sMost of my friends give me a "wtf" face when I suggest this type of stuff. I still blast crazy metal, but this type of music just fills a void I hadn't realized I needed filling until I heard it.
