I have bought in to pretty much everything Haunt has released. They put out albums relatively frequently, 2024’s is called “Dreamers.”

I’ve been away from the Forum for a while but figured I’d log in to read people’s remembrances. It’s no exaggeration to say that he touched many lives, including my own. I will never forget spinning those first two albums, as well as Maiden Japan, over and over on the crappy turntable in my room...

Well I mean there's this: Prince shows up @3:25

Several of these have been mentioned by me and others in this thread already, but my favorite releases in 2023 were, in no particular order: Baroness - Stone Kvelertak - Endling Enforced - War Remains Blood Star - First Sighting Shadows - Out For Blood Haunt - Golden Arm Blood Ceremony - The...

Industry darlings—sometimes called “industry plants” inaccurately—The Last Dinner Party give off a Queen vibe IMO. Already signed to a major label and managed by Q Prime, these ladies could potentially be huge, and soon. Debut album drops this coming February, four singles already out there...

Whatever you may think of REO Speedwagon as a band, there is no denying that Gary Richrath was a complete badass guitar player. Also, the Midnight Special YouTube channel is rapidly becoming the MVP of the Internet. Speaking of badass:

There is a plausible argument that, with this new remix, "Tim" is the best album of all time, by anyone, ever. Not fucking around. I'm serious.

Quite a month for new releases. Love the new Kvelertak, and now the new Baroness album, which is the first in a while that isn’t a sonic mess. Arguably their best since the “Blue Album,“ with lots of great riffs and guitar harmonies by John and Gina: And, though it’s not “new” music...

New Kvelertak! I don’t speak Norwegian so I have no idea what any song is about, but these guys kick ass.

The new releases from Haunt and Blood Ceremony are worth a listen...

Link: Spotify ejects thousands of AI-made songs in purge of fake streams (Financial Times article)

It is very f*ed up. Precisely because it's...well...fun? People will do this. I'm sure many of you have tried something like this already, but here is a ChatGPT query/response I literally just ran a moment ago. Me: Generate lyrics in the style of Iron Maiden for a song about the Haitian...

A thread about AI-generated music. More for discussion/debate/commentary, rather than a "post-your-own-AI-music" thread (if you could manage that). At least that's the intent. Thought about posting this in the "Fictional albums or bands" thread, but this is more specific. First video is an...

More info: Debut album is slated for release on April 21. A second single can be streamed on Bandcamp now. Blood Star was founded by Visigoth's guitarist. Supposedly this is the singer's first band, and she's great.
