Dan G Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 www.myspace.com/megadetha couple of new megadeth songs up there off their forthcoming album, both sound relatively promising, in particularly Sleepwalker - which at around 3:20 brilliantly rips off one of the intro riffs of 'take no prisoners'. After the pretty appalling 'risk' nearly ten years ago now, each subsequent megadeth album has got gradually better (in my opinion) with the latest stuff sounding better than their last effort, 'the system has failed'. Still not as good as anything between 'peace sells' and 'youthanasia', mind. However, it is comparitvely far, far superior to the latest offerings from Metallica.www.myspace.com/machinehead'aesthetics of hate' is up there - a new Machine head song recently and I must say it is sounding incredible. Other than the annoying obligatory-machinehead-clean-intro riff, that is. All reviews of the blackening, their new album have been very good. I wasn't particularly impressed with their last album, even though everyone else seemed to think it was a return to form (probably due to the fact that 'imperium' was a good track). Now if only metallica could get in shape, and someone could dig up dimebag and tell him to write a good pantera album then we would be sorted.

Kharn Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Had Heard gears of war Before and didn't really find it up to scratch. Good song...but nowhere near as good as what dave is capable of pulling out of his bag of tricks. Sleepwalker is very "rust in peace"...Which you've got to love!

HateEvent Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 I've heard all of the new Machine Head album - I like it. I prefer TTAOE though. And Burn My Eyes of course! Haven't really listened to the new Megadeth stuff, heard Gears Of War a while ago. I'll check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye it's pretty good like, haven't heard the album but Binky told me that it's their finest work to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayeth Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Oh Megadeth are playing in Glasgow June 12th, I was not aware of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I really like both tbh and I'm glad Machine Head got over the whole rap-metal thing as i used to love them. Why is it that i find myself less inclined to seek out new metal bands in favour of listening to more established acts? Incidentally i can't wait 'til the new Dimmu Borgir album comes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladeola Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Thing about TTAOE was that it wasn't instant at all but is a great album. Very brooding and dark. You have to work hard with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Quite like the new Machinehead song, sounding good. I heard that some of the songs from the new album have the "lets sound like Trivium because our record company have told us that we have to sound like them" bits. New Megadeth tune is boring. Get Marty Friedman, Dave Ellifson and Nick Menza back Mr Mustaine.Im looking forward to the new Dimmu album too, hope its good because there hasn't been much exciting metal out there that floats my boat. New Type O is amazing but they are not really a full on metal band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Type O is amazing but they are not really a full on metal band.That's how i feel. There wasn't that much out last year that i liked metal-wise. I've found myself not wanting to even check out new metal/metalcore bands as the last couple i've heard have been so derivative i.e Bring Me The Horizon that i've just given up hope. There are very, very few new UK metal bands actually worth listening to right now and it's making me feel like i did about UK metal in the late 90s, totally disillusioned.

You just have to look for it. Sylosis are an AWESOME metal band for a start from the UK. Cry For Silence are another one. Try our label mates Thieves, as well. They are damn good. Also, Hog, You're so wrong about the MH/Trivium comparisons because Machine head had bits like that well over ten years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit pissy in places, but overall it's fucking vicious. New Mithras album on the way too..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Im saying is that I have heard from other people that it has a more Trivium kind of sound....I don't know... I haven't even heard anything from the new MH album. From a personal outlook, I don't have a clue about its sound, need to buy the cd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Neck Man Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 That Machine Head song is pretty good! the Sleepwalker song reminds of some Rust in Peace stuff too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Caz Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 New MegadethNew Machine HeadNew Annihilator ( The song Couple Suicide is very much like if Fall Out Boy used some steady mid paced double kick ) All have decentish songs but overall very weak.New Dimmu Borgir is so far sounding devilishly good uwhahaha.

Foreskin Ninja Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Both new songs are pretty good, I'd say that Sleepwalker is still a pretty far stretch from anything on Rust in Peace, sounds more like a The System Has Failed b-side.

Hog Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 The new Dimmu Borgir stuff is awesome, wayyy better than Death Cult...The 2nd song on the new album at about 3mins 6 seconds..wtf! That can't be a real speed. It's crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
