The Metal Thread

[Sronpop]

I like pretty much all metal, all the real metal. If it has core in its name its not metal. Except between the buried and me, they get mistakenly labeled as metalcore all the time and nothing could be further from the truth.

This is playing in my house right now. Metal \m/

Kamelot!

It's only a model.

Kamelot!

It's only a model.

And I understood that as much as people understand my writings (thumbs up).

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

I listen to anything that's awesome...

Right now that's Korn, Avenged Sevenfold, Sum 41 and throw in some classic Spineshank for good measure.

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

*blows brains out with shotgun after sliting wrists and is made into album cover* "cookie to anyone who catches that reference" not my cup of tea.

Dammit. I know the album cover. It's when Death killed himself and Euronymous took the photo of his body...and also allegedly ate some of his brain. Something about black hearts.

 

[Kaptajn Emil Alfred Conan Swagga Benzon]

Black metal, death metal, THRASH METAL!, power metal, and really just any sort of true metal. I have a strong dislike for posers.

I like you very much sir, i was just about to post something quite similar.

PS: Dead from Mayhem. Was talked into it by Euronymous.

I'm not one of those die-hard metal fans; I probably listen to both rock and metal in equal parts. I like music which mixes metal and rock together, such as some Porcupine Tree stuff. I also love Opeth, and quite like Dream Theater. Some Sludge Metal too, such as Mastodon and Baroness. They seem to mix with prog as well. Apart from that, classic old-skool metal, Sabbath, Judas Priest, anything off the Brutal Legend soundtrack is welcome. And a bit of thrash, older Metallica, Slayer, Testament, Evile.

 

[andeve3]

I do not consider myself a metalhead, i only listen to Om, Tool and Earth.

 

[The Only]

Indeed they are.

Here's a video for those who want to hear some of Oceano's stuff.

This is not "The Metal Thread"

This is one of the two "Metal Threads"

Yes that other thread was mine!
OT: Power metal.
Mainly stuff by freedom call.

Spoiler: like this

Freedom Call are awesome, I'm a Power Metal fan as well - I just can't find the harsh vocals of other genres appealing.

Some other great power metal bands that I like: Gamma Ray, Edguy, Sabaton, Hammerfall, Sonata Arctica, Avantasia and Dragonforce (yeah they're cheesy and overrated but I still like 'em, damn it!)

 

[David_G]

I listened to Nu Metal until last year, and then I just stopped listening to music. Now, I'm more into Thrash Metal, Heavy Metal, and Crossover. Also, I listen to Rammstein from Industrial.

This is one of the two "Metal Threads"

OT: I don't listen to metal, but a friend is trying to get me into Metallica.

Then you still won't listen to metal...

 

[Metal Brother]

Always:
* Manowar
* Black Sabbath
* Dio
* Iron Maiden
* Slayer

These days:
* Rammstein
* Dope
* Immortal
* Amon Amarth
* Tiamat
* Lake of Tears
* Behemoth
* More Manowar

Tomorrow:
* Who knows?

Well that shows you how much of a metal noob I am then!

And your friend too ;-)

 

[rembrandtqeinstein]

Iron Maiden is the best Metal band ever but Painkiller by Judas Priest is the best Metal album ever.

That is all.

Extreme metal vocals are definitely an acquired taste. You'd really have to start from barely guttural at all (Disturbed).

 

[A big red rooster]

Here's a local Black-ish metal band. It's just two guys, one guitarist/singer and a drummer, and they are very, very awesome.

 

[Luke5515]

Some heavy stuff like Lamb of God
Some Classic stuff like Dio
But something that I just recently started listening to is Melodic Metal.

Spoiler: Mercenary

 

[Ironboot]

I prefer the more melodic metal styles. Melodic death metal, progressive metal, folk metal, power metal, industrial/cyber metal, symphonic metal (at least with female singers) and some occasional death/doom.
