A new PinocchioP song about mortality and the impermanence of fame.

Re: What are you listening to?
Somehow it feels more appropriate to put this in the music thread than the movie thread. A few times a year, I need to rewatch "Heavy Metal Parking Lot" to get my head right. It's 17 minutes of the funniest shit I've ever seen. It's also one of the greatest 80s time capsules. For those who don't know, it's a videotape chronicle of the characters who gather in the parking lot before a Judas Priest/Dokken concert in Largo, Maryland USA in 1986. It floated around as a bootleg VHS for many years, but now has fancy DVD and Blu-ray releases.
If you've never seen it, you should watch it. If you've seen it before, you should watch it again.
CRINGE at the gross kiss between a 20-year-old man and his 13-year-old girlfriend! (the first people we meet)
GET HIGH through the pot fumes through your screen!
HEAR THE TESTIMONY of the infamous "Zebraman", who insists that metal rules and everything else sucks ("Madona can go to hell, she's a dick!")!!!
WONDER if the one guy toward the end who dismisses Rob Halford ("Robert Halford, I don't know about you, but everyone else, you're dynamite!") quietly detects that he's gay in a time when that was a secret to the general public!
MARVEL at how in this video full of teeming crowds, only about four people are fat!
It's one of the best movies ever made. 10 stars.

Re: What are you listening to?
I owe you one. That massive Metallica teardown is coming. I even listened to Justice again and...I retract my statement that it's the last good Metallica album. Not because they made anything good after it, oh no, but because it was such boring shit that it drained all motivation out of me to write about Metal altogether.
Part of my recovery, and research to compile albums made around that time, was this cult classic gem:
An absolute must listen, must know, should have on vinyl for anyone even remotely into Metal! This will uncurl your pubes and curl your toes in extacy! An album so good they split up after it. Career-ending for them and lots of posers after it

Re: What are you listening to?
This song is nearly fucking impossible to find online. I first heard it playing Rebel Galaxy Outlaw. That game has a lot of good music in it. The game is just ok. It's a freelancer clone but not as good. Anyway, the other songs you can find fairly easily but not this one. It's my favorite track that plays in the in-game radio. Most of the music in Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is blues, rebel country, rock, etc. Hillbillies with electric guitars.
The problem with finding this song is the name is too generic for search engines and the band is credited incorrectly most places. Older videos of the song have been taken down too. This is the only remaining one on youtube that I know of. The song still exists in places like itunes but it's not easy to find. I went to a lot of trouble finding the tracklist and running different kinds of searches.

Here's a couple more tracks that play in the game. These are all infinitely easier to find.

Re: What are you listening to?
So true. Skip the game and get right to the OST.
EDIT: Here's one of my faves:

Re: What are you listening to?
Not bad stuff for an in-game radio.
I've been listening to too much different stuff over the last weeks. All Metal but way over the place because besides my continued dive into Death Metal I've gone way deep back into Thrash Metal again because of the Metallica rant I wanted to write and also some Heavy Metal.
I guess a decent summation would go something like this:
Thrash
I wasn't aware that Cavalera Conspiracy, the band of Max and Igor Cavalera, two brothers and founding members of Sepultura, have re-recorded the first EP and first two albums of Sepultura. Namely Bestial Devastation and Morbid Visions and Schizophrenia respectively.
Usually, re-recordings are a bad idea at best and more often than not a catastrophe. See Pestilence for reference.
But this shit absolutely rules! Morbid Visions is an absolute Thrash classic with about as high of a standing as Slayer's Reign in Blood and Exodus' Bonded by Blood. By all accounts, a re-recording was almost bound to fail.
Well, it's not only a success, it's perhaps the coolest thing in Thrash Metal this millennium so far!
But compare yourselves.
Take the original recording of Mayhem in 1986:
That's awesome! Not that great of a sound but that's pretty normal for the era.
It's fast, brutal, the riffs are in point, it's clearly influenced by Sarcófago and it's rough.
CC:
Unbelievable production! It's just crips and clear enough to go even harder but still sounds proper old school. The whole fucking album is an absolute riot and has one song flow into the next.
Absolutely crushing and you should binge the entire album right now!
Heavy Metal
I don't often listen to Heavy Metal. But when I do, it's either Judas Priest's or Running Wild.
For the latter, I've been on an absolute binge.
To such a point where it's difficult to name a favourite album or song.
But since I want to provide something exciting to perhaps convince someone of the true gospel that Iron Maiden are lame and gay and that Running Wild fucking rule, have Masquerade from the same album, which is about as hard as you can go with Heavy Metal before you're straight up Speed Metal.
Absolutely a band I need to start getting the albums on vinyl from, though. They re-recorded and re-mixed almost everything several times and while they didn't a terrible job on most stuff, some later recordings used drum machines and trying to fund the original versions at good quality is such a pain that original LPs are a much easier route.
Death Metal
Lots of it. Lots I could name. But the band I've been listening to the most, by far, is Incantation, with Cannibal Corpse as a runner up.
It's difficult to pinpoint Incantation with a single song. Besides John McEntee, every member has changed several times. Even Kyle Severn, the drummer, has been in and out and often doesn't play live and just on studio albums.
That's significant because of this famous A*C* song:
One of the most listenable Anal Cunt songs, somewhat approaching the style of Incantation if they were a Grindcore band. Kyle still has a mustache, of course.
But Incantation is otherwise very important for several other reasons.
They are one of the big four of East Coast Death Metal. Metal has a thing with big four.
Incantation, Immolation, Suffocation and Mortician.
The singer of Mortician was the first singer of Incantation. One of the current guitarists of Immolation was in Incantation for many years up until recently. Very entangled stuff!
Mostly, Incantation is pretty much the founder of Cavernous Death Metal. They are also well-known for their doom songs and yet for fast as fuck tremolo riffs with unusual melodies.
Furthermore, they went through several phases of clear different sounds, yet they were never bad, nor did they differ too much to become something entirely different.
So picking a single song is like trying to explain all of Star Trek in a single Episode in a world where only OG, TNG and DS9 exist.
Anything would be good but none paints a complete picture.
So I'll just go with this for now:
It's the slightly tonal riffing, the brutality, McEntee as the singer and a very much Incantation feel but it's still not even remotely a gracing oversight.
Even in this one song you wouldn't expect that at 2:00 it goes into a much slower and melodic riff for a bit. The absolute hard stops of silence before that are pretty unique as well.
I'll shut up to sperg another day.
Cannibal Corpse
Yeah, much easier choice. Not to represent the band because get fucked if you don't know what CC are about.
The most well-known Death Metal band on the planet. They are what the stereotype is built on. Worst of all, they are actually fucking great. No snobbery to be had here.
So you'll just get what I'm currently celebrating the most.
That's what Scalding Hail would feel like. A relentless stomp to blow the dust off your synapses. Angry, happy, concentrated, busy, it's under 2 minutes of a fast stomper with the best drum sound ever to reset your zen to.
If you can't fuck with that you're no friend of mine.

Re: What are you listening to?
I've been looking forward to the new Demiser LP. I can already tell that it doesn't disappoint.
Basically faster and better Toxic Holocaust. Great Thrash with Black Metal vocals.
Nothing genre-breaking, just honestly well-executed stuff.
Reminds me a lot of Bonehunter as well.
