Brutal Assault 2024, my personal view
มุมมอง 1.5K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
Brutal Assault is a Metal festival taking place in Jaroměř, Czech Republic. The edition of 2024 took place from August 7-10th, with a warm-up party on August 6th, in the Fortress Josefov. Some bands were particularly hard to record, and therefore their clips are so short. Carcass was especially a hard one, keeping your ground in the front among the mosh and stage divers was no simple task. Triu...

    Thanks for the video, and for the gig story. I couldn't agree more, DSR makes such good sounding tapes, even though they are all ferric. I don't know if it's the tape itself or the recording machines, but I've heard modern CrO2 tapes that aren't as good. I think Nuclear Blast also makes good sounding tapes, judging by the Dismember ones I have. Somebody online was talking about how crap modern tape is and about how there simply isn't any good sounding modern CrO2 tape. Old tapes that I buy, from 70's-90's all sound fine. With new ones it's a hit or miss. I guess if you really care about a certain album, you can record it yourself on a type 4 tape on a good deck from a good source, and stick that into the cassette - now that's an expensive album!

    Que história massa, Alex! Eu simplesmente amo ouvir histórias de brasileiros fãs de metal vivendo essa época. Eu sou um adolescente vivendo no interior do Brasil, então não existe literalmente ninguém aqui que compartilhe dessa paixão minha pelo metal. Você tirou outras fotos do Jon nessa tour? Queria muito ver, especialmente se tiver alguma com ele comprando a camisa do Inter que você falou no podcast KKKKK. Amo as coisas que você tá envolvido. Thy Light é a minha banda brasileira preferida, ela simplesmente se conecta quase que espiritualmente comigo quando eu estou escutando os álbuns, é muito foda.

      I checked Maul last year, very nice indeed, 20buckspin rarely disappoints,. But I think I'm a bit overwhelmed by these current wave of growling Death Metal to be honest, since every band sounds more or less exactly the same (although I like 'em all). Hath is too modern for my taste. Didn't like 'em at all, but some friends are really into it. Thanks for watching, mate. Cheers!

    Excellent list, thank you for putting this together and sharing your thoughts on all those excellent releases. I also have Predatory Light ranked high and I felt while being a major label release, it dropped and was quickly overlooked among the other albums coming out earlier in the year. Worm is on my personal list of favorites, although I wish it was a full-length. Negative Plane have not decided but may just be my #1 of the year I'll have that decided by next yeek. I am subscribed to the black metal promotions youtube channel and it is an amazing source for discovering new bands, but was not aware of the website too, thank you. Cheers Mr, Witchfinder!
