5 fists for the new Autopsy and aotm!!!

We'll see what Sol has to say about that.

How the hell does Palms get classified as metal?!

Nope.
Palms sounds metal to me

You must be listening to a different song. The song I found on youtube sounded like standard pop drivel with a singer straight out of 90's college.

If you know of a song that sounds metal then reveal.

Terrorizer covered stuff like Palms ten years ago; no reason why they shouldn't now.

Plus the 'parent' bands of the project are both heavy, if not metal.

Plus it's not like the entire rest of the issue is ful of groups that sound like them.

Plus, while not having heard the album yet, I bet you anything it's sonically denser and heavier than bleeding Huntress (Tygertailz with tits) or whoever.

There were a couple of songs at the start that had some more "traditional" metal elements, but there's no hard and fast rule saying all metal has to be all chug-chug-GHRWAARRGH!!!.

It's ok if you don't like it, for me it falls in between "average" and "might be a grower". The Third And The Mortal were about as atmospheric as this lot and nobody's doubting their metal credentials.

Just because it's atmospheric and ethereal, doesn't stop it being metal in my book.

Deftones and Isis? Both clearly metal.

Post wank.

Clean up first, surely.

You know Deftones are big party band, drinking and drugging their way around the world, yet they make mopey earnest OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH metal.
cheer up and write some songs about cocaine and tits.
Palms are one of those bands you never need to hear. you just know exactly what it's going to sound like.

I certainly wouldn't rape Chino Moreno. He does enough fucking whinging as it is.

Woah - look at bas dealing those facts.

Half of Deftones' songs are about sex, though. Just not in a 'Girls Girls Girls'/'Sweet Little Pleaser' way.

(I don't think there is a song by a glam band called 'Sweet Little Pleaser' but you know what I mean.)
