New Circle II Circle song - "Victim of the Night"

Great song, but the production sounds a little underwhelming. I'm sure the cd will sound better. Possibly the heaviest riffing we've heard from CIIC.

C2C is one of the most consistent metal bands you will ever see.

They really are. I'm really liking the darker tones of this new song too, looking forward to the album.

I'm with you Wolf, compared to their recent stuff the production is... really bad. I'm digging the heavier mood of it though.

I actually thought the last album was produced really well, but the couple before that were quite poor. We'll see once the cd comes out. The quality of songwriting usually makes up for it when it comes to CIIC though.

Youtube quotes suggest the real cd sounds much better. YT does kill the sound.

Well I was going to see The Who in october but I guess it will have to wait until spring.

I was surprised how much it killed the new Maiden.

Sweet... I was looking for it this morning, since it was announced the iTunes pre-buyers now had it for download. Not so exclusive to pre-buyers!

Digging it. Jorn + Magnus always puts a smile in my pants.

Yeah it's ok. Not the first time he's played the big riff then everything stops for the quiet verse. A bit Magnus by numbers but it's fine.

Yeah, you could definitey hear a few reprises from Allen/Lande material.

Song sounds good to me.

wolfking · « **Reply #2604 on:** September 21, 2015, 03:31:08 PM »

Fucking love it. Sounds so much like Battle style Allen/Lande in the chours.

bl5150 · « **Reply #2605 on:** September 22, 2015, 04:54:36 AM »

Liking it - plenty of cliches and Allen/Lande vibes but I think I like it better than anything off Freefall. It certainly rocks

More melodic rock than hard rock but another Find Me album out December too.

Meant to post that (Find Me) yesterday. Might check it out... Bolsters gave me that in my first roulette, but I never went looking/listening for it.

And for my tastes, it's nowhere near FF 1, but I'm cool with it. Given the cast of vocalists, I can see it being a tad 'softer' this time around - not that there's anything wrong with that.

Bolsters · « **Reply #2608 on:** September 22, 2015, 05:20:49 AM »

Good news regarding Find Me, I enjoyed the first album quite a bit.

bl5150 · « **Reply #2609 on:** September 22, 2015, 06:35:23 AM »

Metal Allegiance's version of We Rock could've been damn good but for a couple of fucking awful cameos by Chuck Billy and Steve Souza - ditch the last couple of guitar solos too. Shame.......most of it I like.

Note to self, don't send Brent any Exodus or Testament. I agree they sucked on this. Ripper probably should have sung the whole thing. Geez, he got fat too.

I'm not really digging what I've heard from this project too much. Man Skolnick is a beast though.

Never was much into Exodus but I really like some of Testament's more melodic stuff - I also dislike plenty too. But he just sounds shit there and Souza WTF!.........if that's the current state of his voice I can't even imagine him singing metal of any kind.

wolfking · « **Reply #2612 on:** September 22, 2015, 07:08:55 AM »

Only have a couple of Exodus albums, but haven't followed them so I couldn't tell you. It was pretty comical though, almost a joke.

Testament have some real gems in there but some filler also. Their newer stuff has been really good. I didn't think you'd like any Testament Brent cause of Chuck's vocals, but I guess their music is so good, some is hard to ignore.

bl5150 · « **Reply #2613 on:** September 22, 2015, 07:10:46 AM »

Yeah Chuck has been a bit up and down over the years (partly due to health) but he was never the strongest vocalist - on some of their better material they sort of mask it with reverb. I am more a fan of stuff like (songs) Practice What You Preach, Electric Crown

etc.......and yeah if it wasn't for Skolnick I may not have bothered,.

wolfking · « **Reply #2614 on:** September 22, 2015, 07:15:51 AM »

I'm the same re Testament cause of Skolnick, he's just incredible.

I also love Over the Wall, New World Order, they were two of my favs along with those two you mentioned.

I never fully explored the stuff they did with James Murphy, he's great too, although a bit heavier probably not up your alley.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #2615 on:** September 22, 2015, 07:25:42 AM »

Yeah, Chuck Billy and the dude afterwards were an absolute joke. I skipped the solo section, but otherwise it was not bad. I'm not a fan of the alternating vocals approach; at least stick to one vocalist per song. It felt like We're Stars, except on the wrong side of 1990.
It was nice to hear Jericho sing something cool for the first time in a decade, and this is the first time I've heard the new Arch Enemy vocalist sing, since she hasn't had that chance in Arch Enemy. There was nothing wrong with the rest of the vocalists, but it doesn't feel serious to me with so many different vocals.

bl5150 · « **Reply #2616 on:** September 22, 2015, 09:10:38 PM »

I stopped with the shirts etc.....as I could've gone on forever and there wasn't a great deal of discussion ,but I reckon you will like something I stumbled onto today Kade and jj.

I'm all Sava'd out. I have my original Gutter Ballet shirt on which has the album cover on the front and the trash can/guitar/rat on the back. And keeping me warm is a hoodie from the debut album tour for Circle II Circle. You won't see many of those around. The back has tour dates etc.....

gazinwales · « **Reply #2619 on:** September 22, 2015, 10:11:14 PM »

The MA album holds zero interest for me.
The core of DA/MP/AS are pretty good, and for me AS is an absolute monster player.
But the vocalists aren't anything great.
We Rock sounds good, but nothing extraordinary.

bl5150 · « **Reply #2620 on:** September 22, 2015, 10:22:58 PM »

I always dreamed of Hammett leaving Metallica and being replaced by Skolnick but no dice.

Yeah I won't bother buying it. One album like this that I really enjoyed was the Roadrunner united quite a few years back, that was awesome.

I thought it was ok but as gaz says, the vocalists aren't of interest to me on the whole. I'd have taken chuck on the whole thing but then I guess it would be a testament album.
