I don't find Liquid Tension all that interesting.

I'm waiting for the New In Flames album, the title sounds pretty lame, but I hope they're songs won't. I have to say, I am a big fan of they're work, they are perhaps one of my favorite bands of all time.

As of lately I'l not listening to nothing new in particular. Still with Periphery, Engel, Soilwork and In Flames playing on my playlist as of lately.
 
can't wait for June...

^Hey that must be good:tup:!

Old vid but i love this solo! For the ones that appreciate "real" music:sly:!
 
^I think I have that DVD. 👍

Can't wait for the new Symphony X album either, though I hope they go back to their old style. Paradise Lost isn't bad but it's not my favorite album.

Also hoping the Russell Allen + Mike Portnoy album comes out soon. Recording is done already according to Portnoy.

Glad to see I'm not the only Overkill fan here

Another fan here 👍. The Years Of Decay is one of my all time favourites.

Any Children of Bodom fans here?

Yep big fan here, I have all of their studio albums although i'm not sure what to make of their latest offering Relentless Reckless Forever. I've listened to it four times now and it doesn't seem to grab me like some of their earlier stuff.

If you haven't already give Eterenal Tears Of Sorrow a listen, start with the album Chaotic Beauty. If you like Bodom there's a a good chance you'll like this.

Cheers Shaun.

I used to listen to CoB so much. And I still like them.. I just seem to forget about them. CoB was one of the first metal bands I was introduced too and its what got me into metal. Hatebreeder was one of my favorite albums in High school.

A bit of language, footage of a urinal in full flow, boobies and utter killer metal. Enjoy.

Dude, that was awesome. Thanks for the links. These albums are going to be so epic. He's coming near where I live in July...which means he'll be promoting the new stuff...which means..new, live, Deconstruction:drool: I think I'm going to wet myself
 
Found a very nice band today!

Obscura. Very nice Progressive-ish Tech Death Metal. And with a german Drummer! :D

Yeah just found them recently myself. Great Band.

So I don't leave you empty handed, here's one of my favorites.
Anytime I need to get amped up for something, I listen to this song.
 
So I think I'm going to see Amon Amarth on friday night. It's An Evening With Amon Amarth so I guess that means no awful satan metal opener bands. I read a review from an earlier show that said they play their new album in its entirety, take an intermission, and then come back and play a set list of all their greatest songs. That sounds freaking AWESOME, so I think I'll just go and deal with all the sweaty, ugly metalheads that I'd have to be surrounded by. (Gross!)

Would it be a bad idea to bring a DSLR to a metal concert in a really small venue?

Also, Animal, if you need a Nile song to pump you up, it's gotta be Wind of Horus.
 
Being from England, there are a lot of what I would call "Alternative Metal" (bands like Fightstar, Brigade, Young Guns to name a few), but as far as real heavy metal, there is an unsigned band which are of real quality named Senturia (check them out at myspace.com/senturia).

They won the regional final to play Bloodstock last year (unfortunatly I couldn't go, as I had already been to Sonisphere and couldn't afford both)

Another local band from my region is Bury The Archive, excellent live!

How small is really small?

If the venue is standing room (mosh pit) only don't even consider it. Not worth the risk to damage your gear.

If it's a bit larger with some seating which nobody sits in anyway then there's some other factors you'll have to consider. Lets say you have a seat that is front row, how far from the stage will you be? As it's a night show it's obviously going to be under lights, most likely only stage lighting.

Even the best speedlights (if you have one) have a limited range and become useless after that, and only light up lets say for an example the back of peoples heads that are in front of you for ten or so meters. So you will have up the ISO and slow down your shutter speed (hard to do at a metal concert) to get some good results.

I've been to a crap loads of metal concerts over the last 20 years and can only think of one that I would have been able to get some good shots at. It was outdoors during the day and I had access to an area near the stage that a 200mm lens would have given some great results.

Another thing to consider is are you allowed to take photos at the show? The last show I went to in Melbourne about 6 months ago (Bullet For My Valentine) one of the people I was with had their camera taken of them and was told to pick it up after the show.

So over all think of your gear mate, honestly being in a metal crowd probably isn't the best place that you can look after it. Ultimately it's obviously your call and if you get some some shots please post them up, I'd love to see them.

Cheers Shaun.

Yes, a million times YES! BAAAAAD idea. Not only is there the space factor to contend with but personally, I won't even trust my DSLR with half my family, I wouldn't want to have mine anywhere near a bunch of metalheads who more than likely won't give a crap about your personal space let alone your possessions. This is not a slight against metalheads, I wouldn't trust my gear around people at any concert other than the opera. Also, how well do you know the venue? Are there seats, is it all standing room, do they have a policy about cameras? I think enjoyment of the concert far outweighs having your own camera there to take pictures with. Too much to worry about. This is just my opinion on the subject.
 
It's basically a big pit that you stand in. And it looks like I'm not going anyway because I have finals on Monday and it's freaking POURING here. It's like that tornado weather that hit Alabama the other day.
 
Hey, very nice Thread!
Like Metal a lot. Especially some older (Melodic) Death Metal - Stuff.

Are any In Flames - Fans here?

Uh uh, me. In Flames is my all time favorite band and would do anything to see them live if they ever come to Portugal. I have to say, I'm pretty exited for their new album and the new single that will be released Thursday.


Also, a big fan of Melo-Death, my favorite genre of Metal, alongside with Djent.
Bands like Soilwork, Dark Tranquility, Disarmonia Mundi, etc.
 
Well, I only like the older Stuff from In Flames :)
But glad to see some fans here!

@Nicknamealguem: Like Dark Tranquilliy too! Also like Eucharist, At The Gates and Insomnium :)

Ever heard about them?
