Oct 30 - Nov 5 Weekly Metal Recommendations
If you need even more metal in your life, I get all my info from https://www.metal-archives.com/ from which you can find upcoming releases, and from http://metalstorm.net/home/, from which you can find both upcoming and past releases although it is not as complete of a list compared to metal-archives.)
(I’m still using the rating system from our “New Releases” list although I will likely no longer be listing anything below a +2 unless it comes from a very well known band)
-1 - not for me or just bad
+0 - not particularly interesting or not that good
+1 - worth checking out if you like the style, but maybe for everyone
+2 - worth checking out or interesting
+3 going on my buy list
+4 already bought or pre-ordered

Band: Diablo Swing Orchestra
Release: Swagger & Stroll Down the Rabbit Hole
Style: let’s just call it experimental
-1
(I can’t say I would ever listen to this, it’s as jumpy and weird as System of a Down, however I’m putting it on the list because it is certainly one of the most unique bands I’ve heard in a long time.)
Band: The Three Tremors
Release: Guardian of the Void
Style: Heavy, Traditional
+0
(cool concept, but it kinds sucks. 1. the production sucks and it sounds like things aren’t even in time including guitar leads and some vocal parts. 2. Ripper is by far the better singer here to the point that the other guys doing offer anything other than less good similar vocals. Something like this would be better with vocal styles that are more different from each other.)
Band: Bullet For My Valentine
Release: Bullet For My Valentine
Style: Metalcore
+2
(This surprised me, they used to by the whiniest of whiny metalcore bands, but now they are 80% less whiney. I’m still not going to listen to this, but if you are a fan of metalcore, I think they’ve come a long way toward being less angsty bitches.)
