The Metal Thread

They have a the original 6 track EP, than a 9 track full-length, than they disbanded. Regrouped 2 years later and made an EP consisting of 5 tracks.

"Birthplace and Burial Site" is the 6 track EP you claim to own.
"Legions Bow to a Faceless God" is the 9 track.
and "As Hold Dies [self-titled]" is their final 5 track.

Enjoy, they're all gorgeous works of melodic deathcore.

Awesome, thanks, yeah birthplace and burial site is the one I have, it's amazing

and I was just kidding about dragon force, didn't know if anyone caught the sarcasm. I'll add more exclamation points next time

A nice [/sarcasm] works too. Especially since some people really do like Dragonforce. like me

Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, In Flames and Amon Amarth are all pretty good.

[Quisten]

If you want to go the Cannibal Corpse route:
Devourment
Deranged

Both awesome bands, Devourment is some of the more brutal stuff I've heard.

I went to this tour last night. Make sure you show up in time to see Gojira. Excellent Progressive Death Metal from France. Sadly they only played a short set in Minneapolis =(

I haven't been listening to a ton of metal lately, but some all-time favorites include:

Opeth
Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad, but I prefer his solo material)
Warmen (Side-project of Janne Wirman, the keyboard player from Children of Bodom)
Meshuggah (surprised they haven't been mentioned yet, they are amazing)
Mastodon
Isis
Between the Buried and Me (their new album, "Colors", is by far their best)
Kamelot (best album: The Black Halo)
Pelican

There are also some great bands which mix progressive rock and metal seamlessly, such as Porcupine Tree and Oceansize, which metal-heads should really give a try.

[Khamsin]

Don't be knocking Dragonforce. That's some pretty hard metal, there. Among the hardest metal known to man.

One of the worst tours ever put together. Beneath the Massacre is the only band worth seeing on that tour. I couldn't even think about go to a tour with JFAC playing on the tour. The only reason they got so popular was because they're a myspace band. Every song on their new album sounds exactly like the one played before it.

In other words, I don't like JFAC.

[Amarok]

When I lived in Arizona I had to see JFAC as an opener for the majority of good bands that came to town. Agalloch, Akercocke, Vehemence, Virgin Black and Vital Remains all had JFAC open. Their fans are even worse than they are, they show up and crowd the place with hair gel and faggotry and then leave as soon as JFAC steps offstage.

I almost forgot Lamb Of God.. Ashes of the Wake is so awesome..
