Fortunately nobody was seriously injured. Their upcoming show in Poland was cancelled but the US tour with HammerFall this October will go on as planned.

I can't stop listening to Sabaton, don't send help.

I love Sabaton. All of it.

Probably my favourite band at the moment.

It's gotten to the point where I'm like 'man, I listen to too much Sabaton', then just keep listening to them. I'm hoping to check them out when they come to LA.

Absolutely brilliant live band and a favourite of mine besides.

I loved Sabaton when I discovered them about 10 years ago when they released The Art Of War. I'm kind of over them now though. Still enjoy everything up to and including Carolus Rex. But the last 3 records have all been crap.

Oh man, I can't agree with this. Whilst it took a few spins, Heroes is actually a cracking album and The Last Stand has a few songs that sound great live (title track, Shiroyama, Sparta). The new one falls somewhere in between those for me. 

Art of War is still their best though - absolute masterpiece.

No such thing as `too much Sabaton'.....

I don't know if I should ask this here or in the punk thread.

I want Motorhead, but faster. What is the fastest, hardest hardcore? Like, the gabber of metal.

[Malenko]

@DMN Not metal, but a thing I usually recommend to fans of Motorhead that just want it a bit faster is Zeke because you can actually notice motorhead's influence n their music although it's a lot faster.

Discharge. Huge influence on the early thrash metal bands. But they're punk.

Or Inepsy maybe? Their first album definitely has a Motorhead vibe. Certainly a blend of punk and metal.

Perhaps crust punkwould be of interest? Its fast,  heavy, and pretty fucking dirty sounding.

@DMN

Shit, forgot these guys also...

So, ordered a copy of The Hu's debut album and it's pretty good stuff so far. Metal needs more throat singing.

So Ozzy Osbourne was featured on a new song by post Malone:

 

And apparently recording this song did light a fire under his ass as he recorded an entire album with Malone's producer Andrew Watt in just 4 weeks. At this point it is unknown if the 9 tracks he recorded with Watt include the material he was working on with Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens.

My favorite thing about that collab is the amount of kids on Twitter who don't know who Ozzy is.

Are those the same people that freaked out when Tool dethroned Taylor Swift as #1 on the Billboard album charts?

James Hetfield is back in rehab, forcing a cancellation of Metallica's tour in Australia & NZ.

Really hope he overcomes those demons, he's fought them a long time. I would relish the chance to see Metallica live one more time, broke my ankle at the very start of their set at Download 2012 and haven't had another chance since.

Coincidentally, I christened my new vinyl player with a playing of "Ride the Lightning this evening as well, on the anniversary of Cliff Burton's untimely death.

He was the guitarist on the first two Morbid Angel albums.

Saxon frontman Biff Byford had to undergo emergency triple bypass surgery on Monday. He has posted an update on Facebook saying that he is recovering and doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances.

 

[DMN in the House]

We had spoken about Sabaton's new album earlier, and I have to say, it's really grown on me. 'The Red Baron' is a fast, weirdly jaunty, and hard, 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom' is great, and 'Attack of the Dead Men' gets stuck in my head every time I hear it.

Stoked to see them in two weeks.

[LUKIE]

Yeah I really like it. But, once I get onto a band, I usually stick with whatever they do.

Like, Spellblast's last album was panned, but I thoroughly enjoy it.

[Hellraiser]

You guys heard about Lilac? They are a band made up of 2 sisters and 3 brothers who play classic rock and metal covers as well as their own material. They are pretty good:

I love that Dio cover. The vocalist is good and she even has his mannerisms down to a T.

What do people think of Rammstein - Rammstein?
