I'll possibly check that out eventually. I'm in no rush to listen to more Slayer lol. Are we talking Gojira-levels of groove here?
You won't have an easy time finding bands that have Gojira-level of groove.
For me the best Slayer album is God Hates Us All, but I still wouldn't call myself a big fan. To me definitely sounds like the Slayer album with the biggest focus on groovy rhythm guitar riffs though. The vocals can get kind of grating I must admit, but instrumentally I think it's a perfectly fine mix of thrash and groove metal. Check the track Cast Down to see what I mean
Today I had my first completely free day in a long while, so lots of listening time
:
Le Grand Muignol: Maybe too weird, maybe not, but definitely interesting enough to return to more. Extreme circus metal
The Minerva Conduct: Would put this in the category of "good enough instrumental prog metal" which is fine but not something I will ever fall in love with. Replay value is there though.
Animals As Leaders: Now this is more interesting than past AAL releases, more subtle, less straight up dj0nt, and against all expectations pretty fine relaxing background music. Yeah, relaxing.
The Tony Danza Tapdanze Extravaganza: This is right up there with Frontierer as typical Traincore: traincore is usually very heavy, chaotic, and kinda weird. Not something you would want to be caught listening to in public, but damn this album hits hard, I love it.
Also tried the new Ghost album but it was pretty boring and I couldn't get past the first few tracks, hope it'll grow on me as I'm seeing them at a festival in one and a half months.
