That Metal Thread

[Hentai-Semitism]

Any suggestions on something like Demanufacture that isn't done by Fear Factory? Really liking what they've done with it.

Try Mnemic - Mechanical Spin Phenomena. I think I vaguely recall it being somewhat similar. It's been ages since I last heard it, though.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=KhwiNPsaPfAMatt pike is gone from Sleep now. These news dropped alongisde a new single and a tour announcement. Al Cisneros is in complete control of the band now I guess. I enjoy the new sound but it just doesn't sound like sleep without Matt Pike. Why not just make it another side project like OM? Who the fuck knows, probably money.

Sounds like a leftover from the last album.

Is there enough of us here to have a "Metal Night" for a couple hours once or twice a month like those kiwis do movie night?

This sounds really fun, the issue is just me showing up for a given length of time because of family and work.

Didn't really do it for me. I guess I will keep looking, altho that album might just be lightning in a bottle type situation.

Mnemic

I love this band, even when they changed vocalists. But someone died if I am not mistaken (might have even been the new one) and they disbanded.

Maybe Static-X? Although that's super simplistic.
By the way, did you know that Dog Day Sunrise is a Head of David cover? I think Burton Bell is a fan of Justin Broadrick who was in that band. He's best known as the main guy from Godflesh, though.

fwiw they kinda went back to the Demanufacture sound on their album Mechanized. It's not bad.

Possibly a hot take, but imo the next-best thing are Obliveon's last two albums: Cybervoid and Carnivore Mothermouth.

For context, Obliveon was a technical thrash band and going all Fear Factory was regarded as a sell out move and way too simplistic and unoriginal by their established fan base. If it was supposed to make money, it didn't work, and to this day it's more obscure than their (already pretty obscure) early albums, but it's actually very good stuff, just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Carnivore Mothermouth is like what Static-X would sound like like if they didn't totally suck ass and have like one good song maybe.

Yo momma, yo daddy yo sista a hoe.

I can't be the only one very into wigger slam in 2026 right?

Curious has anyone heard of the Canadian Band Deranged? (not to be confused with the Swedish band) they were a short lived Death Thrash band from Victoria, BC, seemingly formed in 87, and broke up in 89. They put out too really good demos. This is the first one from 1988.

This is surprisingly good, I listened to this album today. First time listening to them today, solid band with good production.

What are we thinking of this band kiwis?

Amazing what an eye catching album cover can do. You'll scroll past a million greyscale forests and dudes in corpsepaint and capes but you see one Junji Ito anime schoolgirl and you click.
Here's my weeb metal contribution.

It’s some of the most palatable slam, which probably means it’s fake and gay to actual slam fans but stuff which is supposed to be the peak of the genre like Cephalotripsy’s first album fucking sucks.

I don't think wigger slam has an elitist problem.. yet

Who the fuck recommends Cephalotripsy? Their best songs lift riffs from 90s bands, and last I checked Slamggers were placing them pretty solidly in the "lazy ripoff" category. When did Slam fans stop recommending niche Japslop like Jenovavirus and Blunt Force Trauma? I feel so out of the loop.
