The Metal Thread

[Bored Tomatoe]

Death and thrash are my favourite genres, though my favourite bands are Fear Factory and Mastodon. I'll be seeing Iron Maiden in a few days...

As for what I DON'T like, metalcore. Ugh. Five Finger Death Punch and Bullet For My Valentine really are loathsomely bad. And the FANS.

As a great man once said *to the cores* FUCK.THAT.SHIT. had to go to mayhem last year just for slayer *met them hell yeah* cannibal corpse *got a pick from alex and pic with corpse grinder* and behemoth *nergal=badass* but there was whitechpael job for a shitboy bullet for my suckintine black suckass myrder and then a bunch of NU metal to... *shudders* tomorrow going to summer slaughter 2 or 3 grindcore bands there

Summer Slaughter looks to be awesome this year. And you wouldn't happen to live in the Atlanta area, would you...?

OT: I listen to a lot of Stoner and Sludge Metal, as well as some Death Metal and some Djentish stuff.

No i live in SC but im driving with some buddies and nothing wrong with stoner and sludge ive seen crowbar and down. got a long list of bands ive seen live lol seen over 50 shows

Oh Crowbar is awesome, and it appears that we'll be at the same show tomorrow, so horns up. \m/

Eh, not many metal acts strike my fancy, but I do like Dethklok's music. And Mudvayne's L.D. 50.
And, also, TOOL.

Other than that, it's pretty "meh" overall to me.

ed- I did strike a fancy with a couple of the old Nu-metal and industrial metal acts a while back. Namely, Korn and Stabbing Westward, but those were rather short-lived flights of fancy.

ed2- on the subject of Dethklok- they put on a free "concert" at my uni campus with And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, which ended up with Trail of Dead whinging about how everyone loved Dethklok more, and they weren't real metal, and everyone was stupid for that. Kinda funny, when you think about it.

Have you by any chance heard of the band Eyehategod?

Avenged Sevenfold

The metal equivalent to a boy band.

Really?

I'd give that to Escape the Fates new album... Avenged Sevenfold are almost heavy by comparison.

Wow. That's pretty bad. Ever since A7X decided their main fanbase was 14 year old girls they've been pretty shitty. I'm gonna Youtube this though.

I quite liked A7X new album

Just listen to Escape the Fate - You Are So Beautiful and you'll see how bad it's gone...

Of course! They're almost required sludge listening!

Double Post! sorry people.

Metals not my thing. It's too... emo for me. Not saying it is emo...

What.

OT: Any and all subgenres of it, though I prefer death metal, black metal and doom metal.

 

[Reaper195]

Melodic Death Metal. The Duskfall, Bleeding Through, Killswitch Engage, etc.

Cookie to anyone who's heard of Spineshank before now.

Synthetic was their first song for me. Granted, I discovered the band in 05, after their third album, but I was only sixteen at the time...not that that really matters much.

Its the Self Destructive Pattern album for me... best song Consumed (Obsessive Compulsive).

 

[superbatranger]

I like stuff like thrash metal, groove metal, heavy metal, death metal, melodic death metal, progressive metal, hell..I like metal in general. Some of my favorite bands right now are Tool, Pantera, Lamb of God, The Black Dahlia Murder, Between the Buried and Me, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Disturbed.

 

[SenseOfTumour]

I think it's one of the greatest US dramas to hit TV in years... What?

Oh I saw 'metal thread' and thought we were talking about 'The Wire'

*hides*

 

[Silent Eagle]

Melodic Death Metal and Metal core here,In Flames,BFMV,etc..

 

[SextusMaximus]

Death, Nu metal, Industrial, Progressive, Deathcore, Power are the ones that come to mind.

I stand by what I said. This Escape the Fate band seems more like a bad (really bad) ripoff of A7X then a band to compete for the title of "Metal Boyband."

Death and thrash are my favourite genres, though my favourite bands are Fear Factory and Mastodon. I'll be seeing Iron Maiden in a few days...

As for what I DON'T like, metalcore. Ugh. Five Finger Death Punch and Bullet For My Valentine really are loathsomely bad. And the FANS.

As a great man once said *to the cores* FUCK.THAT.SHIT. had to go to mayhem last year just for slayer *met them hell yeah* cannibal corpse *got a pick from alex and pic with corpse grinder* and behemoth *nergal=badass* but there was whitechpael job for a shitboy bullet for my suckintine black suckass myrder and then a bunch of NU metal to... *shudders* tomorrow going to summer slaughter 2 or 3 grindcore bands there

Summer Slaughter looks to be awesome this year. And you wouldn't happen to live in the Atlanta area, would you...?

OT: I listen to a lot of Stoner and Sludge Metal, as well as some Death Metal and some Djentish stuff.

[capin Rob]

*Sigh* I was hopig this would be a thread about MGS, as I do not listen to Meatal that much

 

[scnj]

Technical death metal, for the most part. Otherwise, I listen to thrash and Nu-metal if I'm listening to metal, at the time.

Oh, yeah, I also listen to a few black metal bands(Absu).

Any bands in particular that you enjoy?

Also, try listening to Severed Savior. They are excellent.

Death, Opeth, Necrophagist, Pestilence(Mind spheres is a great album), Autopsy and Morbid Angel, to name a few.

I've heard of them, I think. I'll give them a shot. Also, if you haven't heard anything by Fleshgod Apocalypse, they're pretty good.

I LOVE Fleshgod Apocalypse.

Whoa. I just jumped in here to say that I literally discovered them an hour ago. The Mafia EP is fucking fantastic, and I'm not even a fan of death metal.

 

[cocoadog]

Metal is the only kind of metal there are no stupid sub-genres.

Ha, I'm apparently less Metal than you, I'm just some skinny teenager in a High on Fire shirt.

I started out with the gateway bands. Metallica, Ozzy, Sabbath, little bits of Slayer and Motorhead thrown in. Then I got into Pantera, which gradually got me into screaming, and through miraculous circumstances, I came into the possession of 22 free death metal cds, and that got me into death metal. Now I'm into everything from proto-metal (Sabbath, Zeppelin, Deep Purple), to death metal (Opeth, Carcass, Death, the Big Three Gothenburg bands, among others). Top 5 Bands are as follows:

1.Metallica/Pantera
3. Opeth
4. In Flames
5. Slayer

Seeing Slayer in August..first Slayer show. I am pumped. Testament is OPENING (would pay to see them headlining), followed by Megadeth playing Rust in Peace in its entirety, and Slayer playing Seasons in the Abyss in its entirety. Seasons is my absolute favorite Slayer album, so I am double psyched.

EDIT: I am also into Southern metal quite a bit. I prefer a good riff over a shreddy solo any day. Crowbar, Down, Kingdom of Sorrow, etc.
