^ Rad! Helmet is coming here to SF next month. Looking forward to that. Saw Shellac and just blown away by them. Steve and bass player had custom made amps built by this woman in the midwest in her kitchen. nothing but a big red on/off button on them. Were you guys able to get that scratchy metallic guitar sound he had?
Saw GvsB as well, who just tore the place up.
I was also heavily into Karp as well as the early 'emo' bands like Unwound and Jawbreaker, but I always opted for the heavier sounds of Karp, Helmet, Melvins and Neurosis. Ahh, the 90s. Little did I know it was setting me up for trance haha. Never would have thought.

I heard that they were custom built by some dude in Russia that never made the same ones for anyone else!

I started going to parties and buying Psy-trance records in 1994...and although I did play in "rock" bands, loved every Page Hamilton riff...etc, I also went to psy-trance parties. The major out door parties in Athens were in the northern suburbs/mountains that was were I grew up, 20 mints drive from my house.
So the "rave" experience came early in my life. Funny thing is I still play riffs from In The Meantime and Betty, and still go to trance parties ... I have not matured that much in the last...17 years

I'm a big, big fan of Rosetta. Before I discovered their music, I didn't like grunting (or metal in general) all that much; too poppy and/or too theatrical, etc.
Me too. Waiting for the album to arrive in the mail. My favorite by them is 'Damnation'.

Not new, but good nevertheless:
Spent a lot of winter nights with this album.

Haven't read the whole thread but did anyone mention Overkill, my favourite one, i kinda left heavy metal cos of the lyrics, mainly they had nothing to say, apart from some bands, Overkill atleast said something a bit deeper and from the inside, or else you're Slayer and you describe having sex with a dead person with a perfection that makes you feel sick
To ilustrate the lyrics

There are new albums by Fear Factory, Meshugga and Napalm Death on the way this year. Also for technical death metal I suggest checking out the new album by Aussie band Psycroptic. For standard death metal Cannibal Corpse have a new album coming out as well. For the extreme black style Swedish band Marduk should have something out this year to.
Looks to be better than 2011!!

Having had time to listen properly:
Meshuggah - "Koloss" is a masterpiece. Heavy as all hell, they manage to take their absolute extreme style of math metal to a level of power & thundering destruction. More organic & less machine like than previous album Obzen.
Cannibal Corpse - "Torture" actually surprised me in that the band have dropped a lot of the technical wankery that plagued their last albums & have made a really musically solid brutal death metal album. The bass guitar is mixed really well for metal, adds to the music & is heard clearly.
Both are must haves for sure Cuntus Maximus.
