Metal Thread

[NnsNightshade]

I like all kinds of metal (I like musick in general). My team produces types of metal music, etc. too when we're not dabbling in horrorcore hip-hop scene.

Stuff like this or such.

Fleshwrought - Experimental Metal

I used to be a massive metal head and it was metal or nothing, that lasted about a year then it just began to bore me, I still love some of it but only some of the, in my opinion, best stuff. The majority just does nothing at all but bore me completely, which is why I now refuse to be genre bound, I will listen to anything at least once just to try it and my musical taste has a bit of everything in it.

But as this is a metal thread, here is a band consisting of some of my best friends that are pretty fucking good.

Spoiler: Them dicking about, still decent songs

Spoiler: Bloodhound gang cover, yes somehow this works

Spoiler: Some of their actual work, teaser for an upcoming track

Oh and Ben, lead guitar, told me today, he is arranging a Men Without Hats - Safety Dance cover, so yeah, awesome.

Moonsorrow is my favorite metal band at the moment



And heres some Petrychor, a very recently started project, and they just released their debut album:



Amazing stuff, I highly recommend to check them out, they also have an EP called Dryad, you can download both their debut and their EP for free from their bandcamp http://petrychor.bandcamp.com/

Amorphis is another amazing band, they make more catchier music, heres some of my favorites by them:






Im just gonna leave it here for now.

I like killswitch engage. Is that a good thing?

Liking anything is a good thing, because it makes you happy. Metal exists to make people happy, so ignore anyone who tells you to have fun differently because they either don't understand how fun works or failed pre-school.


Everyone else seems to be just listing off bands, but I'm too impatient to go around pasting 15 different youtube videos, and no one ever listens to them anyway.

So! I will be posing a question. What are some really good, really heavy (I'm talking death metal here) bands, that don't scream. Bolded because everyone ignores that part and recommends Parkway Drive or Morbid Angel, or something screams. I can tolerate some screaming, but only on a case by case basis (Periphery, for example).

Hmm, try listening to James LaBrie's solo sophomore album, Static Impulse. It has some screaming, but it has mostly clean vocals. The musical style is Gothenburg melodic death metal, similar to that of Dark Tranquillity. Some Testament albums would also work. I haven't listened to all of them, but their older material as well as their latest, the Formation of Damnation is mostly clean. It's difficult to recommend melodic death metal in general, because it tends to feature both clean and gutteral vocals. A couple bands I can think of with a good balance would be Mercenary and Scar Symmetry.

I love James LaBrie and Testament! I'll check out those others when I get a chance, thanks.

I listen to them -- most of them, actually. And I understand your pain about too much screaming. I mostly just like that one song by the band I posted above, but it doesn't have much screaming. Hmmm... Slough Feg?

I love Annihilator, especially that song and album. I'll check out Slough Feg soon, their wikipedia page sounded promising.

Bumping with two songs of two artists who should be listened to if only to experience their style of music.

 

[Nerfherder17]

No one into real metal bands then? Black Sabbath, Judas priest.
Forget that screaming shit. Talentless fucks all of them.

For the heaviest stuff, thrash metal is as good as it gets.

Hope you get hit by a bus!

 

[Floggo]

Does Parkway Drive count?

Depends on what bands you like of course, personally I Like a lot of those "screaming talentless fuck bands"
On the other hand, anyone who doesn't like Priest or Sabbath doesn't deserve to be called a metalhead.

I see your point, as long as you can appreciate both ends of the scale I respect your opinion. I'm not saying everyone has to like the old metal bands, just as long as people can appreciate what they did and how it affects the newer bands.

I'm open to listen to pretty much every single subgenre of Metal, I won't dismiss it as being terrible without first giving it a listen, this is my rule about all music though. Perhaps not a good one as I'm biased to Metal...
