Saturday Song to Get Stoned To

SATURDAY SONG TO GET 2006′D TO: INTRONAUT – “FAULT LINES

 Saturday, December 19th, 2009 at 1:16pm by

intronautIf the MetalSucks Universe had been born one year earlier, we would have had many amazing albums to hype on our 2006 best-of lists, and one that would have most definitely ranked mighty high on my cannon was Intronaut’s first full-length, Void.

At the time (and to this day) Void — and its baby sister, preceding EP Null — sounded like nothing else. Merging a jazzy jamband sensibility with bone-crushing riffage, all under a progressive rock lens, Intronaut came out of nowhere and in many ways owned my ears for the better part of 2006.

Oh yeah, wait a second — Mastodon’s Blood Mountain and LoG’s Sacrament came out that year too, right?

Jeez, metal really sucks.

    Good one! But if we’re talking 2006, the album to talk about is Twin Zero’s “The Tomb To Every Hope”. Perfect album.

    2006? Good number of great albums. Intronaut’s wasn’t one of them though.

      Even though they haven’t changed styles at all? The only difference between earlier stuff and newer stuff is that the newer albums have good production. Their songwriting formula hasn’t changed at all. I could see your point if they had changed their sound at all, but they haven’t. LoG are this generation’s Slayer. You know what you are getting with a Slayer album and you know what you are getting with a LoG album.

        “LoG are this generation’s Slayer”.

        Good call.

        • iolanach

          i pity this generation

    Lamb of God blows entirely.

    And I second the props given for this, I have Intronauts entire catalog, and so should you! Great stuff for when you are smoking the sweet leaf.
