The Metal Discussion (Come in here for the chugga chuzz of the br00tal metal)

[Luigitoilet]

You got me there. I suppose the connotation I meant was "aggressive".

I love Blind Guardian, so we have that!

 

[Palpi]

The most aggressive stuff I listen Yo is like...equilibrium, ensiferum, eluvietie, finntroll, that's probably it.

But I mean, kamelot, elvenking, serenity, epica, blind guardian, ensiferum, equilibrium, finntroll, avantasia, moonsorrow, wintersun, eluivietie, korplilaani, mutiny within...

Just because I have recently been posting amient black metal, doesn't mean I only like slow songs

This is the stuff Ive been listening to lately I kind outgrew most thrash and core related bands

On the topic of power metal I really dont like much power metal Blind guardian is ok but wintersun is insanely good.

[Geist]

Opeth and gojira are amazing lol
I usually dont listen to much powermetal, but im fond of some of kamelot.

 

[Palpi]

<3 kamelot

 

[Meleeruler]

I really like Kamelot too. Though I was very surprised by how much I didn't like their new album.

 

[Palpi]

Yeah, their new album is a huge let down.

 

[finalark]

I really like Kamelot too. Though I was very surprised by how much I didn't like their new album.

I third this.

A friend of mine got me the Iron Maiden album Killers as a late birthday gift. It's freaking awesome.

 

[GreenFox]

Does anybody like Scar Symmetry? I'm going to see them soon in concert.

 

[Meleeruler]

YES. They are way too good. Although most like their first two albums, I am madly in love with their third album Holographic Universe. Every song was good, and the title track is probably my favorite song of the genre. Their new album with the new vocalists was a bit disappointing though.

 

[Geist]

Listening to scar symmetry right now actually. I love Swedish metal sooooo much lol
I wasn't bothered as much with their newest album, but they definitely lost that 'oomph' that made me get into them.

I'm jealous Green Fox :[

Anyone into Dark Tranquility?
I only discovered them a few weeks ago and now I feel stupid for not finding them earlier.

 

[Luigitoilet]

The Human Abstract is back with a fury

the best part? THEY FINALLY GOT A NEW VOCALIST.

oh and AJ Minette came back.

Dark Tranquility is top notch melodeath
The Human Abstracts last album wasnt nearly as good as the first one, Im anticipated to see how this one turns out

 

[Palpi]

I have been getting into wintersun.

I am going to give Scar Symmetry a listen after this ****ing quiz online

I agree 100%. This is mostly because AJ, the founding member who wrote most of the music on the first album, left to pursue non-metal music. They got a replacement guitarist who can shred but the songwriting was a lot worse.

Now that AJ is back and they have a vocalist that doesn't suck, I'm really excited about this new album.

OH YEAH

and BTBAM is recording a new EP:

i would just like to take this moment to thank baby jesus, allah, the prophet muhammad, krishna, and any other deities for making BTBAM not only an amazing band, but for making them consistent with the album drops. btbam doesnt stop, and i ****ing love every second of it.


*dies of excitement*

YES!!!​

side note: Been listening to Liquid Tension Experiment constantly these past few days, and these past few days have been AWESOME

 

[Wretched]

BTBAM was all like

oh hay guys

 

[Luigitoilet]

BTBAM was all like

oh hay guys

holy crap, what a gnarly beard

good thing Protest doesn't take themselves super seriously like I always imagined they would.

 

[Wretched]

They have always been the most nonserious band ever.
They have admitted in lesser seen interviews that they put on a party face because meaningful metal doesn't have giant appeal.

 

[Palpi]

I just saw scar symmetry and was disappointed...meh, they were decent. I also saw blackguard and a band that started with an A...i forgot...good night =]'

this was at the epica show..

 

[GreenFox]

What made you disappointed about Scar Symmetry?

 

[Palpi]

I dunno many specifics, I just didn't enjoy it. I didn't like their singer, (very nasally...atleast live...i've never listened recorded) and their harsh vocalist bothered me for whatever reason. They had very good harmonies though. Their intro was pretty epic, but the music didn't rub off on me the right way I guess.

 

[Geist]

On a lighter note, Epica is sweeeettt

 

[Palpi]

yeah. They were good. Wed,thurs,fri,sat i saw 4 concerts.

Wednesday was, Scar Symmetry, Blackguard and Epica....Thursday was The Flatliners, John Brown's Body, and The Expendables, Thursday was, Sevenkingdoms, Holygrail, and Blind Guardian, Saturday was Koo Koo Kangaroo, Suburban Legends, The Aquabats and Reel Big Fish.

I met and got autographs and pictures from Blind Guardian, Expendables, Suburban Legends, koo koo kangaroo...needless to say...best 4 days of my life

 

[GreenFox]

I wish Scar had their old singer back, I have to admit - he was better.

 

[Geist]

He was amazing
I don't know how much he had to do with the song writing, but it feels to me that they tried to compensate a bit of song quality for technicality.

Is Epica making a new album yet?

 

[Palpi]

They just released Design your universe in 2009...so i doubt it.

 

[Geist]

Well the Classical Conspiracy came out in '09 too
I wouldn't be surprised if they have something scheduled for early '11 release, that's all. They had that one single too. *shrug*

 

[Palpi]

I am more excited for a potential sonata arctica CD ... i havn't heard any news on anything though.

 

[Wretched]

Soo...
Favorite vocalists
Go
Least favorite vocalists/style?
I don't like behemoth vocals.
I like Melodeath vocals.
Like Wretched.
No connection.

 

[Palpi]

I like Roy khan, tony kakko Hansi kersch

 

[Geist]

My favorite vocalist atm is Mikael Akerfeldt. Dude can cure cancer.

James LaBrie is good when he's not being overly cheesy.

 

[Viroxor]

Roy Khan, Russell Allen, Tommy Rogers, no doubt about it.

Unless you're counting older 'classic' metal as well, in which case it would be the works, Bruce ****inson, Dio, Dave Mustaine, etc.

Wow, it censored Bruce's name? That's just not cool.

 

[Grey Belnades]

I'm not too good when it comes to naming top favorite things but at the top of my head, its Dio, Dave Mustaine and José Andrëa.

 

[Meleeruler]

Andy Kuntz from Vanden Plas. He uses just the right amount of vibrato, mannn.

 

[GreenFox]

My favorite vocalist atm is Mikael Akerfeldt. Dude can cure cancer.

James LaBrie is good when he's not being overly cheesy.

At first I was like THIS GUY IS AWESOME

Then I read the second vocalist and i was like

Mikeal doesnt cure cancer, he gives you cancer of the soul

 

[Geist]

Lawl
I just learned a little while ago that opeth is recording a new album in january.
Made my day

 

[[oni]LoKo]

Devin Townsend love?
Wouldn't say the best, but his voice makes his stuff that much more fun

 

[Palpi]

This is my song of the week =]
