Damn.   Good version of one of my all-time favorite albums. Better singer than the original too. |

I'm digging it so hard. They have some massive covers. Their original stuff is pretty decent, but the newest album...is not my kind of jam at all. Feels like the keyboard player took over for that one, and not in that nice B3 way.

This one is pretty awesome. Definitely strong Tool influence...but I'm having a hard time finding that a bad thing. Samavayo - Vatan |

Ok, I just stumbled on this last night due to an NPR article that popped up as a suggested article. May have been posted before but whatever. It is something I think some of you weirdos who listen to cookie-monster music might like Hu - Wolf Totem |
'Reality' is the only word in the language that should always be used in quotes.

That first link goes to some nightmarish video from The Darkness, rather than Daikaiju, fyi  |

Don't know what to tell you, it's working correctly for me.

Seems like those costumes would get in the way. They do rock the Zeppelin though. For your requisite Cthulhu-themed death metal, Sulphur Aeon has a new album out, The Scythe of Cosmic Chaos. Lungs to Gills |

LOL, that was awesome. I like how they have Soundwave there in the back dancing like a bitch. |

CTHULHU DEMANDS COOKIE
I tried so hard to be serious but 2 minutes in I just lost it and everything he said sounded like cookie monster. |

Death Metal and Cookie Monster are just linked at the hip. If you like death metal, Sulphur Aeon is a good example of it, IMO.

I've been listening to death metal for over 20 years. Cookie monster is a vocal taste I was never able to accept in many bands cases and most of the bands I like don't really go for that vocal style. It seems to be more prominent now though, but I'm old and damn kids and whatnot...

I haven’t listened to enough of that Sulphuric Aeon track to use it as an example, but in my opinion, the Cookie Monster stuff can work if it is also accompanied and mixed in with competent, normal vocals and great music in the same track. All CM all the time is rarely something I enjoy.
Asking Alexandria and Of Mice and Men both come to mind, and they are probably both within my top 5 favorite bands. Great music, great singers, and a sprinkle of Cookie Monster to change the mode where it makes sense. Beartooth maybe as well, although that dude is less talented as an actual singer.

Yea, I tend to agree with that. Pure cookie can make the song feel trve kvlt and evil*, but after a line or two I just tune it out as background grunting. OTOH I really dig cookie monster vocals acting as a contrast to the rest of the song. Ayreon - Cosmic Fusion and Thy Catafalque - Vashegyek are the best examples I can think of right now... * I'm currently playing in a Shadowrun campaign with heavy eldritch horror themes, and one of the players asked for an 'appropriate metal soundtrack' two days ago. When I checked this thread, Sulphuric Aeon was right there -- and it is pretty much 100% what the doctor ordered. Uh, Haemish, your middle name isn't Nyarlathotep or Hastur, right?  |

I channel only the best dark gods. Not all of Sulphur Aeon is cookie monster - the latest album has a bit more non-Cookie than previous albums but yeah if cookie monster bothers you, it will be way too much for you. |

I can barely listen to earlier Mastodon, before they decided actually singing was a good idea. One reason they're my favorite modern metal band by a long shot.
The new live King Diamond is pretty sweet. I caught a YT upload of the entire show before it got pulled.

You might dig Mars Red Sky, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADPdperafBAThat Wo Fat link is pretty dope. I lean towards doom/stoner metal over rock, but would be really interested to see what your playlist ends up being. |

Just a heads-up: for the 10th anniversary of Crack the Skye, Mastodon is going to play it live as the centerpiece of their tour this year :)

I was too busy having my face melted to parse and be offended by any political undertones in the video. I forget where you are from, mate, so having trouble figuring out if you are serious. |
