What Are You Listening To Now IV? *ARCHIVE*

[Slim]

Between The Buried And Me - Shevanel Cut A Flip

Probably my favourite BTBAM song. It was the first one I heard, and it is very representative of their style. Vocals are excellent...

[Hangman]

Dream Theater - 6:00

I'm learning to play this at the moment using Mike Portnoys Anthology Vol. 1, and I'm pulling it off ok...ish. Awesome, awesome song.

[Soeru]

Norther - Darkest Time.

A very cool Children of Bodom-ish song... well, the band is CoB-ish after all.

[Cosmic]

Soundgarden - Somewhere

Cool song from 1991's 'Badmotorfinger'. Has great vocals, as we've since come to expect from Chris Cornell.

[Slim]

Liquid Tension Experiment - When The Water Breaks

One of the best songs I have ever heard. 16 mins of awesome emotional and technical soloing from 3 members of Dream Theater + Tony Levin...

[Soeru]

Metallica - Jump in the Fire.
It's hard to believe that this song is 21 years old... go Metallica! Or better said: go 80's metal! I love the riffs in this song.

[Slim]

Even older if you consider the time it was written as opposed to released.

Iron Maiden - Charlotte The Harlet

Just a great song, with awesome guitar work. Probably my favourite song from the Dianno era of Maiden. This or Killers. This song also had a sequel on the next album in the form of 22 Acacia Avenue...

[Howie]

Mortiis - F�dt til � Herske (Part 1 + 2)

Nice ambient stuff. I don't usually listen to ambient, but Mortiis is very nice.

[Edgecrusher]

Metallica - Seek and Destroy

One of their all time best songs. The opening riff is awesome.

[Cosmic]

Andrew WK - Party Hard

A complete no-brainer, and one of those songs that you simply can't listen to whilst sitting down. PARTY PARTY PARTY!

[Howie]

I just had my Metallica-marathon... my favourite album is still Ride the Lightning, and the best song is;

Metallica - Fade to Black

Cheezus, I just love that song.

[Slim]

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Come To Daddy

Cover of an Aphex Twin song. Which I like. I never said I wouldn't listen to electronica. Nothing good ever came along. Throw your Aphex Twin recommendations at me...

[Soeru]

Aphex Twin is mostly ambient, if you want some cool electronic/techno music, check out DJ Doboy(and one of his plethora of "Trancequility Volumes"). He makes single-track albums lasting around an hour, but they're very good trance/techno music. I'm sure you've already heard of Gorilaz. Also check out Fisherspooner and DJ Shadow's album "Endtroducing"(so good you'll shit your pants).

I'm listening to:
Godgory - Religious Fantasy
It's supposed to be melodic death metal, but it has a lot and I mean a lot of doom influence. I mean, the songs are generally slow but still melo death, and the acoustics they use occasionally feel a lot like Metallica's black album. This song has some thrashy riffs too. Check out this bands album "Sea of Dreams", it truly pwns.

Blondie - Maria

Because Im a sad bastard, with a penchant for crappy pop records by ageing bands. Cheesily addictive. Again.

Mos Def - Hip Hop
One of the most underrated lyricists alive. He host HBO's Def Poetry Jam. That's because he is a poet and rapper. Listen to him.
