Laughing Man Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) the FYE in my local mall, where I get probably the majority of my music, is "downgrading" and combining into some kind of Frankenstein's Monster three-in-one store with Hot Topic and Spencer's, and as a result they have a ton of stuff on clearance for half off in order to make room. saw a lot I wanted to get but due to budget constraints I could only afford a couple things, so I picked up the deluxe edition of Circle by Amorphis and the deluxe edition of Sonic Syndicate's self-titled. the latter was kind of a whim purchase, I'm generally not a fan of the band but it was cheap and has Björn Strid, so whatever. edit: went back to FYE and picked up Runes by Bury Tomorrow from the clearance section for 60% off edit 2: ordered Only Inhuman by Sonic Syndicate, because if I'm going to own anything of theirs I may as well get the album I liked back in the day Edited May 13, 2015 by Ryuujin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evergrey: Toa of Music Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 edit 2: ordered Only Inhuman by Sonic Syndicate, because if I'm going to own anything of theirs I may as well get the album I liked back in the dayWhat are your thoughts of that album? I only have a few tracks that I highly enjoy about 5 of the songs and I currently don't remember half of the album. The recents (recent as in April til now). Through Our Darkest Days- Mercenary (2013), Amaranthe, Special Edition- Amaranthe (2011), The Dream- In This Moment (2008), The Nemesis Construct- Emergency Gate (2010), Disciple- Disciple (2005), and Haven- Kamelot (2015).

I only have a few tracks that I highly enjoy about 5 of the songs and I currently don't remember half of the album. it's kind of a guilty pleasure for me personally. it's inoffensive, catchy pop-metal(core) with some watered-down melodeath elements and I'm a bit of a sucker for that kind of thing. plus there's a bit of a nostalgia factor behind it, since it was one of the albums I checked out when I first started getting into metal nearly six years ago. their debut Eden Fire is probably objectively their best (at least, that seems to be the general consensus), but it's the sheer catchiness of Only Inhuman that pushes it ahead for me. either way, it's miles better than the even-more-watered-down Love and Other Disasters or the ear-bleedingly god-awful abomination of so-called "music" that was We Rule the Night. their self-titled new one, surprisingly, is probably my second favorite thing they've released, if a term like "favorite" could be applied to a band like this. I've been meaning to check out The Unguided. I know it's got most of the dudes from Sonic Syndicate's early lineup, I know everything I've heard has sounded nearly identical to early Sonic Syndicate, and I keep seeing people say that they sound like a better version of Sonic Syndicate so it's probably something I'd enjoy.

The Unguided fix everything that was wrong with Sonic Syndicate. The music has more metal and less core in it by having little to no breakdowns and having not only guitar solos, but ridiculously GOOD solos (just check out the song Blodbad). They're also far more metal in terms of pushing the sound rather than "staying safe" or "watering down." There are far more growled vocals and the cleans sound more aggressive and less clean. I'm anticipating purchasing their upcoming album needless to say. As far as Sonic Syndicate goes, I'm glad you like the new album. I like it, but it sounds like most of the metalcore I listen to from other groups while Only Inhuman and even Love and Other Disasters had a slightly different flavor of the genre, especially when compared to Killswitch Engage, Trivium, and others like them. But if you want some Unguided songs to look up, definitely check out Blodbad, Betrayer of the Code*, Inherit the Earth, Pathfinder, and Eye of the Thylacine* The * denotes that they have music videos. Essentially, The Unguided still have a similar sound to Sonic Syndicate, but their differences push them to being grouped with the likes of Amaranthe and Bloodstain Child (mainly the Epsilon album). I'm probably just bad at describing what I hear, but they just have a tighter, heavier, more metal sound than Sonic Syndicate has had since Eden Fire.

Laughing Man Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 saw that "Sweet Demise", the deluxe edition bonus track for The Panic Broadcast by Soilwork, was finally made available on AmazonMP3. I've been wanting to get ahold of that for a couple years now, ever since I (stupidly) passed on the opportunity to get the deluxe version of the album and bought the standard version instead. I've periodically checked Amazon for it ever since, but they never had it until now. needless to say, I bought it. glad to finally have it, it's an excellent track.

Evergrey: Toa of Music Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 bought Heck Frost by The Unguided and ordered In Requiem by Paradise LostThe Unguided's H. Frost is quite good. Hope you enjoy it! bought Fragile Immortality by The UnguidedFragile Immortality isn't bad, but aside from a couple songs, I find H.F. more enjoyable. I didn't buy any music, but I did buy a new speaker system. I'm sharing this information because it's a fairly priced system and the sound quality is indescribable. The speakers are so crystal clear that it sounds like the band/artist is in the room performing the song just for me. It sounds natural and just gives life and great acoustics to whatever song I have on. The system you ask? Arion Legacy's Deep Sonar 750 (a.k.a. The Bone Crushing Bass Speaker System). If you have the money to spend on it, you will not be sorry.

Singularity, Blodbad & Eye of the Thylacine are my favorites. On another note, is 11 Dreams by Mercenary worth getting?

Xinlo Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) So I think I already posted about this when I ordered it, but it finally arrived today (I ordered it first in January, and after many order cancellations, amazon's inability to acquire it, and the thing taking six weeks to ship only to be told it was returned to the store for no reason it finally showed up.) However it is a thing of beauty so I think it was worth it. Here's the limited-to-100 vinyl pressing of Canadian doom metal band Woods Of Ypres' 5th and last album Woods 5: Grey Skies & Electric Light! probably the best non-Rush album to come out of my country ever.

I ordered My Dying Bride's A Line Of Deathless Kings on vinyl, so there's another favourite album down. 1 Quote The Toa's Hideout is once again open for business!
