Jesus, do people ever stop comparing their work to the first 4/5. They will never top it, ever, take each album on its own merit. The new album is much better than St Anger and Death Magnetic, so for me a step in the right direction.

I thought you were taking each album on its own merit?

On its own merit it would deserve as much attention as every other pension scheme album that an 80s thrash metal act has released

It's all about the magic name

Must be putting fierce money into it, normally acts do videos for like the songs that are singles. I thought the band would be careful with their cash nowadays since the Orion Festival and the Through The Never movie were financial disasters.

They'll make it all back touring anyway I suppose...

And another vid for you, I'll keep putting them up until I drop, I'm the only one still awake probably ha

There is lads online counting down the hours till Spit Out The Bone, won't be up for another 4 hours...still have Murder One, Halo On Fire and Lords of Summer to go, they even did one for that! Went all out on videos.

Regret looking at those videos. I understand why the band and their management have decided to release videos for all the tracks on youtube. I've ruined the listening experience for myself. I get it that youtube is probably how most people listen to music now. But ironic hipster videos isn't Metallica.

Final one for Lords of Summer. Straight up live footage mix. Weakest song on the album IMHO.

I think the spit out the bone video is excellent and suits the song perfectly.Same with Moth into flame.

Yeah but it was only baby steps to what they have achieved now.

And then there is the hilarity of ManUNkind featuring spurious 1990 era Mayhem :eek: Dead & Euronymous would surely turn in their graves:rolleyes:

Gave the album a few more spins and it's definitely listenable. My expectations were so low that I'm truly surprised!

Mental Mickey

The ManUNkind video is brilliant!!

grames_bond

I absolutely love the album! I just think top to bottom it is a return to serious form! some absolute belters on there that I would hope would become a mainstay ion their live sets for years to come!

Didn't expect to see a story about Metallica on the homepage of the Irish Times website but sure enough, there is one. All the videos are there too.

And an "exclusive, in depth interview" with Lars coming tomorrow.

Presumably Mayhem will sue them now for that:D

Lars will be "Who the fock is HellHawmmer dude?"

Jesus, giving out about Lars' drumming was old 20 years ago. Get over it.

Exactly, we should really be talking about Kirk and his Wha Pedal. That's only like 10 years old now?

Anyway, god Halo on Fire is an enigma of a song. Great Riffs throughout but the some of the whole isn't as good as it's parts. That's down to Metallica's writing style of stitching random riffs together. Some awkward transitions throughout. Speaking of the Devil, I read Kirk giving out about that riff writing style somewhere this week and wanting to go back to more "live" writing.

I'd have liked more Spit out the bone style songs myslef but doesn't take away from it. It's a banger of an album, way better than DM IMO but they have tried to cram all the song types in they do and some songs have awkwardness to them. I'm really enjoying the songs so far.

Would have loved to see them sneak in a little riff from Call of Cthulhu into Dream no more but that's just me

The chorus of Am I Savage annoys the sh*te outta me though. All I hear is "Am I Evil Savage, Yes I Am"

Unlikely, as it's actually by the director of the Mayhem film and features the films stars!

The clip provides the exclusive first glimpse at characters from Åkerlund's upcoming film Lords of Chaos, which is currently in production, and stars the movie's Rory Culkin, Jack Kilmer and Sky Ferreira. Lords of Chaos, based on the book of the same name, will tell the story of Mayhem, the controversial Norwegian band that brought the black-metal subgenre to international notoriety.

Yes but considering the opposition to the film by the members of second wave scene, I wouldn't be surprised if this caused some what of a ruckus.


How hilarious would the film be if they had to use modern mainstream metal instead of black metal in it :pac:
