Metal thread

[Rusty Bucket]

We've been playing together in this specific constellation since 2005, and some members have been around (inconsistently) since 2001, so yeah, we're pretty much used to playing together ^^

As for the "getting hold" part: It depends on where you live and how much you're willing to shell out for postage/packaging.
We don't have a distributor, so we basically send each CD out on order for 10? plus whatever the postage is. For the US and Australia we might have a solution to this, which will decrease price but sadly increase shipping time. We plan on running this on preorders and volunteers, so if let's say 50 people have preordered, we send a big package to one volunteer who then redistributes the album in his country and gets some bucks for his effort. With this we think we can cut shipping costs to the US and Down Under to about 50% of what the individual shipping would cost.

So basically if you're able to go to our website [http://www.frozeninfinity.de] somewhen after next week (as soon as I get my lazy ass around to finishing our new codebase and sho, that is... heh) and manage to fill out an order form as well as pay the neccessary amount of dosh, it'll be not that hard to come by.

Good to hear, i'll look into more. Honestly, i was half expecting the usual generic crap. I've been pleasantly surprised. Well done, you're helping to restore my faith in melo death.

Edit: Hmmmmm. This may require Google translator.

Well, there are the two medleys on our myspace/youtube, too, and maybe we'll put up another song sometime next week, depending on the rest of the guys allowing it ^^
And you're dam right. A lot of contemporary melodeath is pretty bad. Not generic, but outright bad.

But look to the new emerging "underground" for some real nuggets. I recommend listening to Night In Gales, Nightrage, Fragments Of Unbecoming and maybe some Kalmah, if you don't already know them.

As for the language of the website: No, it won't. Just wait another few days until I get the english version up and running ^^

My top 5 metal bands at the moment would have to be:
Destruction
Dimmu Borgir
Slipknot
Children of Bodom
Cradle of Filth

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Party Metal like Andrew W.K. is awesome. I listen to Children of Bodom, Strapping Young Lad, System of a Down... just about anything really, not even kidding. Except nu-metal.

 

[Silvertongue]

Right now I'm really into comedy metal...like Psychostick. I absolutely LOVE psychostick. The Dumb Song, Beer, Two-ton Paperweight...all pure genius.

As I've stated before, I'm really into melodic metal...I know that's a big umbrella, but I like a lot of it.

I just discovered Charon, btw. Thoughts on them?

Quite good, but for my tastes the vocalist tries just a bit too hard to sound like Ville Valo... which is a shame, considering that his voice has good recognition value when he does his own thing.

 

[stinkypitz]

I like alot of metal, mostly August Burns Red, Amon Amarth, and Gojira.

 

[Nanoko]

I stopped reading the posts at the beginning of around the third page, but I must say that Log Dropper MD, you are awesome. I love doom, drone, and black metal the most, but I'm more of a fan of simply drone/ambient/noise music.

Few of my favorite metal bands at the moment are Sunn, Boris, Mayhem, Earth, Om, Burning Witch, A Forest of Stars, Electric Wizard, Reverend Bizarre, Black Sabbath, Black Boned Angel, Khanate, Peste Noir, etc etc!

Nice to meet you all!

I love Kalmah. Prefer their older stuff, but i still enjoy their latest two efforts. Nightrage i'm not so keen on. They're decent, just lacking a certain something. Never heard of the other two though, i'll look into them.

I'll check back on your site sometime next week then. Thanks for the info, hope the album sells well when it comes out.

Oh, and have a listen to The Absence if you haven't already. Great melodeath, how it should be done.

 

[WittyName]

I mainly listen to Iron Maiden, Trivium, Dragonforce, Nightwish, Disturbed, Slipknot, Bullet For My Valentine and Pantera.


Not much

 

[rowan-thats-me]

I mainly like the older metal, mainly NWOBHM, as that was the best metal era, the irons, priest, saxon, you know, but I just got my copy of the new architects album, hollow crown today, and to be honest, it blew me away, if you havent heard it , go out to a shop and buy it, if you like brutal metal you will love it.

 

[Shugaazer]

Late 70's- early 90's metal is my tip for the top. Bands like Van Halen, Dokken, Whitesnake, RATT, Crue, Warrant, and what have you.

 

[Kodlak]

I love most rock and metal, such as QOTSA, SOAD, Marilyn Manson, Guns 'n' Roses, Megadeth (saw them live ), Metallica and many more..

 

[MagnetoHydroDynamics]

I like Priestess.

That is all, thank you.

Whoever told me before that death growls will grow on you.. That is the truth.

Hurray! Another convert.

I was kinda the opposite I took to death metal vocals then adjusted to the fact that clean vocals in metal can be just as effective

To add to the discussion about Death Metal vocals, I am such a huge fan of Mikael Åkerfeldt vocals. His Death Metal band Bloodbath are incredible. His vocals are very accessible for anyone who doesn't usually listen to Death Metal. A great starting point in my opinion for future converts. I suggest tracks: So you Die, Like Fire.

Have to love Akerfeldt. Also, special mention goes to Tomi Joutsen from Amorphis, who i think rivals Akerfeldt, especially when it comes to clean vox. My all time favourite vocalist though would be Jamie Stewart from The Absence.

I'm just going to see what I think to Amorphis, on your recommendation dude. I wholeheartedly agree though about the vocalist from The Absence. He is wicked good. Melodeath without the generic feel to it.
