Death metal without meaning is to me just.... fun, enjoyable noise I guess! In fact I never really listen to the lyrics in death metal unless they're particularly good (or audible, lol)ultimateownage said:

METAAAALLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \m/
My favorite metal type is thrash (Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, early Metallica etc.), and I'm not too fond of black/death metal. I think it's just because I can't stand music where I can't understand what the fuck the singer is saying. I've got nothing against it, it's just a preference.
Although, I still love the starters of Metal, like Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath etc., and let's not forget Rush. I'm sort of weird about Rush. Some ass once said to me that Rush sucks... and he ended up in several different trash bags.

Definitely.Pararaptor said:
Doesn't matter how you got into them, the fact that you like them makes me happy! I LOVE Type O Negative and have done for going on 15 years now. October Rust was literally the soundtrack to my teenage years. What a masterpiece...Unabletothinkofname said:[
SHIT, didn't know you were a Type O fan at all.I got into them for all the wrong reasons (I only initially heard of them when Pete died) but I've become a really big fan recently.
I suppose I understand the idea behind extreme metal but I don't like it myself. If you like that kinda thing then good for you, but I just find it uncomfortable to listen to, so I don't really go much heavier than Devildriver or Arch Enemy.
I'm a fan of a lot of metal (expecially Anthrax, if you can tell by the avatar), but there are certain genres I won't touch, like death or black metal. What I really love about Anthrax is they always do it with a smile, but they've still written songs [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyABEv2rvbw&feature=fvst] that [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDWhUHybp7g&feature=related] knock [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_yKpBPHJug&feature=related] the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8miZRD5jW6M&feature=related] crap [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us_IxW5LcvY&feature=related] out [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7_pytkPrlY&feature=related] of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCN3uGx--Yg&feature=related] most [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wm9hBvjCMFY&feature=related] metal [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGHsxMqpL0c&feature=related] bands [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jAeZCUBVyA&feature=related].

But the more extreme stuff I can't really handle for more than about five minutes without it grating a lot.

Best album they've made since Demanufacture. It was a very pleasant surprise to hear that last year!Wardnath said:Edit: Some Fear Factory as well.

Is...Is that Scott Ian in your avatar?TheRightToArmBears said:
Also, Parkway Drive. Respec'.
I still haven't properly listened to October Rust, TBH. Dead Again and Bloody Kisses have been occupying most of my time.MiracleOfSound said:
Excellent, two new bands for me to try. =] Already listen to In Flames and Children of Bodom.Arkhangelsk said:
I love metal, it comprises most of what I listen to. From Metallica and Megadeth, to Opeth and Katatonia, In Flames and Demon Hunter, Disturbed, SOAD, Dream Theater (Though many don't like DT)... It's beautiful. Although to be honest, I'm not a big fan of harsh vocals, I don't mind them most of the time, since the music is brilliant.
Yeah I get it, I guess =P
I'm a fan, as exemplified above.
Partly it's kind of an outlet for me, I think. I'm a very quiet, shy person, not terribly expressive of emotions. I think it's a way for me to make up for it. But mainly it just sounds awesome.
Agreed. Ahhh, the excitement upon hearing Powershifter for the first time.MiracleOfSound said:Best album they've made since Demanufacture. It was a very pleasant surprise to hear that last year!Wardnath said:Edit: Some Fear Factory as well.

Also, while I'm here, some more black metal.
Perhaps I could find some soulful metal.Pararaptor said:
The funny thing about melo-death is that the emotional part usually doesn't appear until the choruses. But when that happens, my mind is in heaven.
Nice to see 'Only' in there. I love the John Bush-era Anthrax stuff, especially Sound Of White Noise. I know most fans prefer Joey but John's voice always felt more manly and metal to me!TheRightToArmBears said:
Fave Anthrax song ever? Room For One More!
Oh, and I Am The Law too. Metal song about Judge Dredd - how awesome can one thing be?
Buy it! Right now! lol. Really though... it's a magical album. Dead Again is cool too (September Sun oh my god gorgeous), Life Is Killing Me is all kinds of awesome for the most part.Unabletothinkofname said:
I started on Belly Of The Beast and then just followed the links down the side, I'm too lazy too keep typing things in, that's why I've missed some awesome stuff (I Am The Law being my second favourite Anthrax song, adter Caught In A Mosh). And I agree on John over Joey, but Joey is still a great vocalist (much looking forward to Sonishphere 2011 and the Big Four!).MiracleOfSound said:
If you like melo-death, you might like Engel. They are sort of a mix between melo-death and industrial.Katoran said:
My favorite of those three is Six Feet Deep. I'm in love with those vocals.
And since you seem to have a fondness for metalcore, I recommend this fine nugget, Parkway Drive:
Early Maiden might float your boat too. It's not like Psychobilly musically but it does have the same raw punky stompy feel:Pararaptor said:
I like the instrumental side of metal, it's when they start to growl and scream that irks me. Don't mind angry lyrics or anything like that, but the screaming... Blah
Do you 'get' extreme metal?
No, not really. Probably because I'm unable to understand anything they're trying to say with all the loudness.
Are you a fan? Are you indifferent? or does it make want to scream 'ARGH TURN IT OFF!'?
I'm indifferent, but any loud music (of any genre) that is on too loud will make me scream "ARGH, TURN IT OFF!". My hearing is busted up enough as it is from shellshocks, explosions and similar thanks to my younger dumb self thinking loud volume + war games = simulator... I can't stand loud noises anymore =/
If you are a fan, tell us why and how it makes you feel to throw on some good old blast beats and death growls I'm not a fan really. The 'death growls' as you called 'em just sound horrendous to me.
In my opinion, everyone is free to enjoy what music they want to, as long as they do NOT put it on their cellphone and have the speakers on max. Use a goddamn headset or something with proper sound isolation.

First of all epic link, i also love Carcass
Now OT: I love metal, i have loved it since i was a 10 year old jumping on my bed to Rammstein and listening to Metallica in school when the other ones were stuck in Alicia keys and Britney. It has always had a special place in my heart and i have gone throught literally all metal genres that are, i especially love brutal death metal and folk metal. But i'm not just a metal fan, put me up for some grieg og mussorgsky and i'm good.
All in all, i can say i'm a fan. And the feeling of metal shall never escape my heart \m/
