Already do, and I love 'em. Menos El Oso is still my favorite album of theirs, but they're all good.

[Jester]

That's the only one I have. When I went on my Indie rampage a couple of months ago, I got that album. I actually own it.

Its a great album...I'm listening to it right now. =P

I know this isn't probably the kind of Indie that you're looking for, but have you heard As Cities Burn?

[Tallant]

I've had "Son, I Loved You At Your Darkest" for a good two years, but haven't listened to it more than twice. I just seem to keep overlooking it for some reason. The times I did hear it I liked it though, I'll give it a more honest listen real soon. I have their newest album too, haven't gotten around to that either.

[Jester]

haha....I loved "Son, blah blah", and the new one is great. I haven't listened to it as much though

I need to. Their newer one is more Indie than the "Son, blah blah" one.

To everyone, I found an amazing Classical/Post-Rock composer from Iceland: Ólafur Arnalds. Some of the most gorgeous compositions I've heard, and he's only TWENTY GODDAMN YEARS OLD. He also plays drums for a Chaotic Hardcore band named Fighting Shit, and he's amazing at drums.

Seriously, just listen to the last two songs on the page, especially "3055", which is the only song of his that uses drums. I listened to that album 3 times since last night, it's absolutely gorgeous.

EDIT:
Here's his Hardcore band's myspace, for those interested. They're very good, I want to get the cd soon. He's a sick drummer, listen to the first song on the page.

EDIT AGAIN:
I have links to both of his solo albums, just ask.

[Jester]

=O

Yes, pelase, kind sah!

[Everlost]

Nice, he's coming to Eurosonic, and I am going there as well. Might catch him live then. It sounds pretty cool. I wouldn't mind the links either.

[Jester]

I'll forward them to you. =]

[Everlost]

Thank you. Getting it.

Anyone checked out Vampire Moose? I came across it and find it interesting...

Last.fm:

"Unorthodox, unrelenting and utterly unpredictable, St. Louis quartet Vampire Mooose may well be the meanest musical beast you ever encounter. It certainly will be one of the most unique.

Fusing death metal brutality and raw hardcore intensity with abstract, progressive arrangements and jazz-like instrumental dexterity, Mooose sounds something like the progeny of an insane cross-breeding of Meshuggah, Dillinger Escape Plan and Obituary - only weirder and more vicious."



I am currently 3 tracks in and diggin' it.

Hmm... I might check 'em out.

[metalmaniac37]

Vampire Mooose is pretty good dl'd it some time ago. I really dug it.

[Tallant]

Yeah, I've had "Serenade The Samurai" for a while. I posted it on the last forum too, very good album.

And Vampire Mooose (yes, there are three o's) is an awesome name.

Was bored the last while, and found myself on Metal Archives, randomly clicking bands, that members of some other bands were in...got myself to Savage Circus..and seen that Thomen Stauch has himself another band, Coldseed. I've been looking but haven't found anything from them..and their myspace wont load for me to see if they have any songs there Anybody given them a listen...are they any good?

[evil scientist]

Actually, i wouldnt mind some decent grind for virgin of grind. I've been really digging death/grind bands like !T.O.O.H.! and Asesino of late. So i might as well check out some grind.

Recommend away!

Might have been recommended already (I'm way too lazy to read three pages): Bathtub Shitter. Grind something from Japan. Bob Saget recommended it to me and it's great.
