I also just had a friend recommend me Fantômas and I'm checking out their Director's Cut album, it's a fuckin trip man. Mike Patton is one hell of a talented individual and I'm finding a lot of his stuff is hit or miss for me, but I see the vision, these trippy visions lmao. I'm noticing Mr. Patton roped Lombardo into quite a few projects, and it's rather interesting to discover this years after the fact.
So, turns out the guitarist (Rhea Thompson) left the band after having been replaced for upcoming tour shows without notification on top of some serious SA allegations against the bassist (Thomas Hewson). Not exactly sure what to make of that but it's disappointing to say the least.

Looking forward to see where Rhea Thompson puts her talents next as I think she was a real highlight for me on this record.
They've been phoning it in these past few years i think. Only really liked the instrumental from the previous album lol. Their revival album was amazing though, like 15+ years ago.
Love that Bandcamp gives them the best cut at the price the band sets. I'll usually try as best I can to link it or something else that also closely supports the band.

Ah nice it's finally out! Been lookin forward to this one since hearing Death by Fire.
Also, what's up with the A.D. thing? If I had a nickel.. 🤣
The same exact thing happened to me - "Wtf these dudes are just ripping off Amon Amarth! ...Actually this is damn nice."
I recommend the newest single that came out, When The Sun Comes Out At Night. Really good stuff.
It was close! Didn't wanna just post the first actual track - I have actually added both to my playlist lol.
I kinda enjoy Arch Enemy's Aces High, voiced by their first vocalist.
Completely agree! Can't beat No Sone Unturned, Silent Nothingness, or even Dying Season. Even though some of it was rerecorded older material hehe.

Saw this in the feed last night, was thinking about how bland it is as I was listening lol. At least the solo is half decent!
Solid fucking recc dude. Thanks! I wasn't quite sold on this album alone, but the previous album is actually really good lol.
Gonna take em to Shrimp Town.
Holy shit ikr. Was just jammin to this on the way home from work and figured heavy metal could use some love lmao.
Fuck yea man, this one was a little after I got out of school but I found it early enough to hold on to it forever \m/
I'll never not upvote these posts. Also love to see how others post their playthroughs and such.
Yep! I posted a Slower song in !doommetal@lemmy.world, War Ensemble. Great name - the pun cracks me up every time xD.
Fantastic to hear they're still making great thrash. Still got the Bay Area sound despite being Teutonic lol.
Haha yea, I didn't realize this cover existed either till I found Century Media records did a digital remaster with additional tracks back in 2013.

Funnily enough I had been sitting on this one since before I took my months-long break lol. Had a feelin it would be rather well received.
