Now playing and comment on the song above you

iamacyborg · 02-08-2010, 06:53 PM

Finally! A forum game!

This one's pretty simple, person above you posts a link to a song (or embeds the video from YT), you give the song a rating, out of 1o maybe, or just say what you like and dislike about it, and then you post a link or video of your own for the person below you to rate.

Here's mine, Fick, by Skream. The wobble doesn't kick in properly until 3:40 into the track.

Windmill · 03-17-2010, 12:23 AM

I liked that very much. Unsure of what rating to give to be honest.

Interesting. They could have a future in the biz. A step more towards dub and I would buy it.

Heres mine: Dante Bucci - Fanfare

Hang on!

Not exactly my cup of tea, but I immensely respect that man's talent. The sheer skill involved is worthy of praise regardless of whether or not it's something I'd buy a CD of. As such, it's tough to really give it a rating, but I'm going to say 8/10.

Not an industrial band I'd head of before, liked the beat, the singing wasn't my kind of thing though, 7/10.

By the way, to embed a YouTube video, you can use the [youtube] BB tag. Just put the video ID between the tags, not the full link.

Muluon · 03-27-2010, 07:51 PM

Dude... Terrorfakt is pretty damned hard to mess with. The beats are harsh, the instrumentals crushing, and when I saw them live, they used a rotary sander as an instrument. 9/10 all day every day.

For a change of pace from all the oontz:

VariousArtist · 03-27-2010, 10:44 PM

Ah, Empyrium - soon to be called "old school". Great stuff and deserves a 8/10.

On Empyrium I reply with My dying bride... no easy decision which song I should take, so I thought its worth to celebrate the return of the violin:

VariousArtist · 03-27-2010, 11:17 PM

Well, not bad but typical, overdone metal-style. The song lacks a climax and I liked those staccato riffs 15years ago but today I expect more diversity. Hence 6/10.

An example of what I mean is Hypocrisys "Adjusting the sun" (maybe too fast). Notice the diversity through tempi changes, general vocals vs. bridge/chorus and rythym guitar vs. lead guitar.

Sad-o-Lon · 03-27-2010, 11:33 PM

i agree...tho they said all the time they dont want to play more than trash metal. Through, its their story that carrys the whole thing for now (well till their first LP that is ) if you dont know check this http://www.vbs.tv/de/watch/acrassicauda--2/heavy-metal-in-baghdad-feature

iam a sucker for the old style tbh...and oldshool hardcore...and some of this :

iamacyborg · 03-29-2010, 06:48 PM

Not too sure which one to rate, so I'll rate them as a whole.
7/10 not really my kind of music, but I can't find anything wrong with it, it's just not particularly to my taste.

One day, I'm going to go skydiving, and I'll be listening to this song as I do it.

johnmatthais · 03-29-2010, 07:03 PM

8/10 Isis rules. I've been loving their new album!

This band is pretty cool. Most of their songs tell a story in Swedish during the calmer parts. Not a whole lot of singing/screaming done in any of their songs. It's mostly ambient music with someone talking in Swedish about the song's focus.

Won't load for me with Youtube tags so I left it without em. =[

iamacyborg edit: You added an extra p at the end of the URL, numpty :P

iamacyborg · 03-29-2010, 07:25 PM

That was an awesome song, really enjoyed it. I was reminded of a cross between Isis and A Silver Mt Zion. 10/10.

Scraping Foetus off the Wheel - Throne of Agony.

This is the guy that does the music for The Venture Bros. He's a genius.

Muluon · 03-31-2010, 01:26 AM

Pretty cool. I'd never heard that band before, but the song reminds me a lot of classic 1980s goth rock ala Sisters of Mercy and Fields of the Nephilim, which I have a tremendous soft spot for. I think it's the echoing, cavernous drums, downtuned guitar, and those vocals that shift between sharply intense and sort of hollow and forlorn.

johnmatthais · 03-31-2010, 03:59 AM

Pretty cool, but sort of repetitive. Also didn't like the end, where it was just silent for a while. Would make great battle music, though. ^^ 7/10

EDIT: Yet again, not loading for me. Here's the link just in case.
