odyssey, preview, scale the summit, The Migration

The instrumental prog metallers have released a preview of one of the new tracks off their upcoming record, The Migration, which is due out on June 11th. It’s a short three minute preview of a song entitled “Odyssey” and it sounds solid. Lots of a heavy yet melodic rhythmically complex riffing is going on here, not to mention soulful clean sweeps that progressive musicians love. I am excited to hear what the rest of this song and the album will sound like. Check out the preview below.

holy grail, Last Chance To Reason, prosthetic records, scale the summit, Scion AV, The Greenery

Scion AV has been doing monthly record label showcases and they have hosted shows for the labels Relapse Records, Nuclear Blast Records and Prosthetic Records. Well, a free live sampler from the Prosthetic Showcase is now available here and it’s pretty fucking cool. The main thing that got me about this is the inclusion of two of my favorite Holy Grail tracks (“Call Of Valhalla” and “Crisis In Utopia”).

The only other band that I was immediately familiar with on this sampler was Last Chance To Reason, although I was vaguely familiar with what Scale The Summit were, music-wise. The Greenery are a pretty odd band but you guys know me, I like weird shit. Might take some time and check this band out some time. Any way, check out the sampler and download dat bisch.

This is my Best Albums of 2011 list. Some of these albums are not “metal” per se, but still amazing releases. As you may notice, I’m a fan of prog and grind and instrumental things.

I was fortunate enough to see/will be seeing all of these bands live this year (excluding 2, 6, 7, 14, 15 & 20), and all of these live performances blew my mind.

3, Carbon-based anatomy, Cynic, scale the summit, Season of Mist

Cynic has made the title track off of Carbon-Based Anatomy available for download here. I highly suggest checking this out even if you weren’t a fan of Cynic’s prior material. The song is on the lighter side and doesn’t feature Cynic’s signature vocorder vocals. I am really digging this new track, especially Reinhart”s drum work. Carbon-Based Anatomy will hit stores on November 15th via Season Of Mist records.

The band will also be embarking on a tour with Scale The Summit and 3 in November. Continue reading for the dates.

What Happens When You Don’t Make The Cut For SUMMER SLAUGHTER?

conducting from the grave, Rings of Saturn, scale the summit, Structures, Summer Slaughter, Summer Survivors, The Contortionist, Volumes, Within The Ruins

You say to hell with ‘em and do your own tour. A while back fans were given a chance to vote on who the opener would be for Summer Slaughter this year. The winning band was the (god awful) Within The Ruins. A deathcore band being picked to open up for Summer Slaughter. I gotta say I am not surprised. Anyway, I will not be attending Summer Slaughter and I highly doubt we will be covering it whatsoever, but I figured some of you might find it interesting that the bands that didn’t win the opener spot on the tour but were nominated decided to go it alone.

Conducting From The Grave, The Contortionist, Scale The Summit, Rings of Saturn, Volumes and Structures are the bands that will be hitting the road as the Summer Survivors tour. Some of these bands I am familiar with, some I am not. Few I have actually listened to. I know Conducting From The Grave. Typical deathcore turned metalcore band. Scale The Summit are a pretty interesting progressive metal band that I actually enjoy. The Contortionist, as I understand are a technical deathcore band. I didn’t even know that was a specific genre. I think I’ve listened to them before. Apparently they didn’t interest me enough to remember who they are. Rings of Saturn are not terrible. I can actually get into their sound. Volumes and Structures I have no idea about and I am honestly too lazy to look them up.

If this interests you, you can check these bands out on the Slaughter Survivors Tour. Dates after the jump. [Continue Reading]
