What Are You listening To V.III Metal!

Found a black/death/thrash/weird prog hybrid you might like Batty. They are from Chicago and sound like absolutely nobody else.

If that was directed at me for posting Meshuggah, know that I despise groove metal, I despise Meshuggah, and I despise Djent. That song has a chromatic, angular riff and those don't grow on trees.

I don't want the production to be clean, or even traditional for raw, ugly thrash, as that would kill at least some of its hideous evilness, but when they're going full blast I can't even fully make out the guitar riffs and it hurts my ability to really appreciate what's going on.

And yet I keep coming back for more, sure that one day all will fall into place and the album will have its proper effect on me. But the title track is totally as evil sounding as any Slayer song.

The guitars sound super compressed and thin, and when Hoglan is playing full-speed everything blurs together; but DD is less about the riffs and more about the incredibly speedy, up and down rhythms of that album. It's not a perfect album but the approach to rhythm on that album is highly unique.

Making my way through Oathbreaker's discography and this album is just as punk as it as black metal and omg it rulez.

wtf man, the weirdest part is i actively search out projects produced by kurt because he's the best person to have behind the boards when it comes to metal.

How does a Christian band create the most evil breakdown ever?
