Just recently discovered Hypocrisy (melodic death), and damn have I been missing out. Instant favorite of mine.
Kinda glad that they haven't played in a few years, and are coming back with a new album beginning 2009 (that's what their site says.) and tour after that, so atleast I haven't missed any shows
Their lyrics are usually about aliens, example they have a song called Roswell 47. Can't believe I haven't heard of them before.

Can't be. Nu metal has more pop/grunge influences. I can't find any heavy metal with hard rock vocals besides Dio.Dechef said:Just recently discovered Hypocrisy (melodic death), and damn have I been missing out. Instant favorite of mine.

If it is serious music made with serious intent, then I take it seriously. If it's silly fun music, I don't take it seriously. Should I take Jimi Hendrix seriously because half of his songs are about drugs, or Coldplay because theirs are a bunch of pretentious half-ballads? Any music can be considered shallow, ridiculous, childish, etc. when viewed from the right perspective. Sure, death metal bands like Cannibal Corpse, it's stupid, it's "fun" pop metal, just like the "fun" violence in games like Gears of War. But take a band like Gorgoroth, which has Satanic lyrics written entirely seriously (and quite competently)... even if I don't necessarily agree with them, I still appreciate them for what they are. You have to know where the line is, and that only comes with experience.AuntyEthel said:
As for corpse paint and all that... yes, we've all seen the old Immortal videos. I don't know if it was meant to be ironic or silly back then (it certainly wasn't for some second-wave bands like Satyricon), but it certainly is treated that way by them these days. It's also awesome, in its own cheesy way. Despite whatever you think of the image and the fashion (which is usually done out of tradition more than anything), though, a good band's music will speak for itself. And I only listen to good music.
Dio has a hard rock voice?GPScorpio said:Can't be. Nu metal has more pop/grunge influences. I can't find any heavy metal with hard rock vocals besides Dio.Dechef said:Just recently discovered Hypocrisy (melodic death), and damn have I been missing out. Instant favorite of mine.

Well, yeah. I guess it depends on your prespective. Metal vocals to me are made up of growling and grunting.Dechef said:Dio has a hard rock voice?GPScorpio said:Can't be.

I'd say dio's voice fits in perfectly with heavy metal. Just like Rob halford.searanox said:Yeah, more or less. Although I'd stick them more into heavy metal, they're definitely one of those "transition bands".Dechef said:Dio has a hard rock voice?
The rest of sabbath is more "transition band".

They are a japanese metal band that formed in 1990 and began fusing punk with rave and they had all their guitars as metal as possible whilst the drummer was at a d'n'b breakbeat speed. then kyono (i think) their vocalist began rapping (whilst screaming) usually with distortion on top. it's like the ultimate blend of genres. They broke up about 3 years ago.
Oh yeah and they have like 20 albums, either more or the same as Maiden.
I like: All That Remains, Lamb Of God...shit like that. Stoked to be seeing LoG Feb 2009.
Edit-oh and i forgot to mention, their live stuff is amazing because at japanese concerts you basically cannot hear the crowd.
One band that gets me going. Is an old English Death Metal band in the 70s and stuff called Bolt Thrower. I bloomin LOVE them! :3 I do like bands like Korn, slipknot and other stuff but it all really depends. Maximum the hormone an japanese metal band got me liking it too so I have a few I like really.
Yeah I quite like Hypocrisy too. Do you have the newer version of the Catch 22 album? Its a lot better. Apparently fans did not like the new direction they took, so the rewrote the entire album haha.Dechef said:Just recently discovered Hypocrisy (melodic death), and damn have I been missing out.
