Metal with female vocals

[Night Prowler]

No way, it's a blasphemy to even put Amaranthe in the same sentence with Nightwish and Epica. Amaranthe is basically pop disguised with heavy guitars and drums. One of the worst bands ever.

Yea I would have to agree, I didn't get into them much last night.. but WT were just as great as usual

Floor Jansen growling @ 03:07

Spoiler: whole show

 

[Forostar]

One of the most powerful singers in the field.

 

[Brigantium]

Impressive!

 

[Maturin]

Crucified Barbara has apparently released a new album. Watched some live-recording of a festival show on the youtube a while ago and wasn't impressed by the band, but I guess an all female metal band is quite unique anyway. Sounds like a punk-version of Mötley Crüe.

 

[Night Prowler]

Cool song.

 

[Cosmiceddie]

Not exactly a Metal band but still amazing:

Former Nevermore Guitarist Jeff Loomis Joins Arch Enemy

Another very unexpected change. Curious about next album's sound now, although it'll be a while before they make it.

 

[Forostar]

Wow!

Lol look at this pic. The head on the left really looks photoshopped. Badly photoshopped:

Ridiculous. As if they really took the body of his predecessor and pasted the new guy's head on top of it. Muhahahah this is idiotic and so amateuristic!

 

[Perun]

That's a picture done by the guys from Metalsucks.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Totally bad Photoshop job right there by the band's management. Why would they color that poor girl's hair like a tennis shoe and give her a lip ring?!

Hehe OK. Well, then these qualifications go that site, unless they tried to be funny.

 

[Perun]

That site is always trying to be funny. Just read the way the article is written: http://www.metalsucks.net/2014/11/17/former-nevermore-guitarist-jeff-loomis-joins-arch-enemy/

"Arsis will be opening up?"

edit:

Erm, you're probably referring to:
"Maybe the band will even convince him to stick around after 2015 and help write their next album."

 

[Night Prowler]

Arsis changes members a lot, that's the joke

It's not clear if Loomis is a full-time member now, they didn't specify it. I really hope he stays and records an album with them.

Has anyone here seen Arch Enemy play? They're playing in December and I'm wondering whether to check them out. I don't have any of their stuff, and don't get a chance to get out much, so I'd be interested to hear what they're like live.

 

[Brigantium]

Embarrassed to say I only heard them for the first time the other day (on the normally pop punk-dominated Scuzz TV of all places). If there's a date in my neck of the woods I might go see them.

Edit: Manchester December 19. That's doable, even if it means I now have no weekends left for Christmas shopping, thanks to Slash and Sabaton.

 

[Forostar]

I haven't seen them but I can assure you that they are a very solid live band (from the DVDs I've seen). If you like the music, big chance that a gig will be way cooler.

They sell T-shirts at these gigs, don't they?!
