First of all, **** you. Modern Celtic Frost/Triptykon is awesome. But I'd kind of agree that the production is more suited to industrial metal.

Wpnfire's Lair of Extremity I have recently developed a love with a form of music so tenacious, so vile, it makes Suffocation sound easy to listen to. It is not death metal this time though! Nope, it's... Free jazz! (In avant-garde form.) "Machine Gun Sessions" - Peter Brötzmann Octet Genre: Free Jazz, Experimental After Frownland posted the "machine gun sessions" by the Peter Brötzmann Octet, in http://www.musicbanter.com/general-m...ml#post1528676 several months ago, it was like love at first listen. My dad loves the Zap man, and growing up when I skimmed through his CD collection, I stumbled across Apostrophe and other such albums that I would be lying if I said I did not think they sound like total ****. Now that I am older, I have more of a respect for avant-garde music, but the machine gun sessions were still nonetheless shocking to hear...at first. One of the most shocking things about this is that this is an octet performing...whatever this is. 8 guys are playing on this! Two saxophonists, someone playing a woodwind instrument, two bass players (two!), two drum players (wtf??), and a pianist, and you can hear them all play. Now, I am sure you all know my thoughts about noodling from my recent thread about it, so if you are going to dismiss this as sheer noise, away with you! In all fairness, there are a few fleeting moments of melody, like the tail end of the title piece, but the majority of this sounds like an elephant sneezing. Saxophonist Peter Brötzmann sounds like he is blowing his guts out on that saxophone, but once you get past just how vile he sounds, you can heard the hidden melody and flow. /5
I am just in awe with this. One simply has not lived until "Music for Han Bennink" plays, and cacophonous music that sounds like a swarm of angry bees penetrates your eardrums. Last edited by Wpnfire; 02-24-2015 at 11:16 AM. |

Defo one of my top five albums. It's violent and chaotic; it's basically sonic warfare.

By far my favorite aspect of this album is the way it begins with the fantastic double bass drumming on "Flattening of Emotions" and the high-speed chugging of the guitars. One of the best album openers ever in my book. As for the rest of the album, it is very tight on most tracks. Good balance of riffs and melody, although some of the melodic sections of a few tracks simply go nowhere. Schuldiner's emphatic shouting style of singing is also ****ing awesome. I wish every metal vocalist sounded like him.Genre: Technical death metal, progressive death metal /5
Seriously though, that first track is one of the most kickass metal songs ever. Last edited by Wpnfire; 04-15-2015 at 11:49 PM. |

You've been repping that album like a mother****er in the Metal Album Survivor thread, and you don't even really like it? Dumbass.
