Best metal album = Carcass: Necrotism
I'm a big fan of Bill Steer. I remember watching Red Dwarf one evening when Carcass were on as some sort of bar band and so was jumping up and down pointing at the telly. Napalm Death were funny live, I think I saw them with The Stupids in 1988 at the Clarendon Ballroom in London. Now *that* was a venue. Probably the best in Europe, every time I saw a band there I thought I was going to die.
yes!
Bill's one of my guitar heroes. His stuff with Carcass was amazing and he was phenomenal live when I saw them supporting Bodycount, who were terrible.
There were only a handful of us getting into Carcass that night. Everyone else was booing them. Cunts.
I love The Stupids as well. For a UK hardcore band they had some really tasty riffs.
Currently I'm struggling. The last thing I've really liked was Poison The Well. I don't what they are classified as but musically they are really interesting and the singer has a great shouty voice. I think they have a touch of the emo about them but not offensively so.
I sort of like one song by a band called Devildriver. But past that they seem shit.
I've struggled with Doom/Black metal stuff because I need some sort of hook behind it rather than Black Sabbath style sludgery or incessant blast beats. Interesting discordant guitar is what I'm looking for.
Still can't get better than Killing Joke's 1982 'Revelations' album. It's still the heaviest most unsettling piece of work ever. But in a subtle kind of way.
