So being as I am not going to go through 56 pages, does anyone here listen to black metal at all? I kind of fell out of the whole metal thing other than black/viking. I am not elitist about it as I think all metal is cool, I just enjoy black the most.

I have been wanting to find some new stuff, the bands I really like the most so you have an idea of what I like;

Desolation Triumphalis
Wolves in the Throne Room
Windir
Taake
Make a change.. Kill yourself
Xasthur

I dig it...

Since you like Xasthur and Desolation Triumphalis, try Hypothermia's Rakbladvalsen or Gris' Il Était une Forêt...

Other bands that aren't related to your list of bands in style but I still find them to be worth looking into: Altar of Plagues, Oranssi Pazuzu, Amesoeurs, Hades Almighty, and Blut Aus Nord

 

[Palpi]

The only black metal I listen to is ambient folk black metal, like Summoning, Alatyr, and Kuldvas.

 

[❀W.E.M.P.❀]

Thanks for the recommendations everyone :B

 

[WaveLength]

So, I'm listening to Ulcerate's The Destroyers of All and I've got to say they reminded me of Deathspell Omega if they went Death Metal...and I have a vague recollection of how DsO sounds like...

Regardless, this is awesome

Try Baroness, Opeth, Cynic, Enslaved, Sonata Arctica, Nercrophagist, Arch Enemy, Epica, Gates of Winter, Mastodon, Shade Empire, Tool, The Waters Deep Here, Wolves in the Throne Room, and Darkspace.
They're not all quite the same genres as you put down, but I figure since it looks like we both go for the same stuff, you should check them out.

 

[Rubyiris]

i dislike opeth, cynic, mastodon, and tool.

also most of the music in my list is progressive or power metal lol. In fact there is only one melodeath band in that entire list; Into Eternity.

I do, however, listen to a fair share of melodic death metal.

 

[Geist]

Edited the post lol
I'd say dark tranquility is pretty Melodeth :0

 

[Rubyiris]

dark tranquility is melodic death metal. Melodeath is NOT melodic death metal.

 

[Luigitoilet]

genres are for queers

 

[Rubyiris]

Well ain't that something, since I am in fact gay.

 

[Luigitoilet]

I really wanted to use a different word, but I use "douche" way too much and all the other good insults are censored.

point is is that people (especially metal people) get so uppity about what genre what band fits into that it's pretty hilarious.

 

[Rubyiris]

You're just jelly I have a better understanding of music than you.

 

[Grandeza]

That's a fight on my block.

 

[Luigitoilet]

Naggling over genre titles melodeath vs. melodic death metal has barely anything to do with actual music.

I don't really care about "understanding" music in the way I think you mean. I listen to a lot of music. I love it, it empowers and lifts me up, inspires my imagination and makes me dream. That is the type of "understanding" that I get from it. Talking about if such and such band is viking black death metal grind or pagan black death metal grind does not inspire me too much.

My philosophy is "listen to it...does it move me? does it sound good to me? does it melt my heart/my head? Then it's good!"

That's as far as my relationship goes with it.

anyways! here's another BTBAM teaser

the best part is Bruce Willis' ****.

 

[Palpi]

Ruby. It kills me that Equilibrium is not on your list of bands. Listen to their album "sagas" straight through. It is ****ing mind-blowing.

@luigitoilet I agree, genres are dumb >

 

[Rubyiris]

I will listen to it in like 30 minutes. Mediafire's being slow.

 

[Geist]

Genres have nothing to do with actual theory lmao
¯\(-_-)/¯
I'm not all that concerned whether 'melo' is short for melodic or anything.

And ooooh new btbam :D
You know, I'm a huge huge fan of their mellow stuff, especially medicine wheel and desert of song.

 

[Rubyiris]

melodeath is basically power metal with ****ty "extreme" vocals like CoB and Into Eternity.

Melodic Death Metal is stuff like Armon Amarth, At The Gates, Dark Tranquility, Insomnium, Mors Principum Est, Eternal Tears of Sorrow to bands like Scar Symmetry, Solution .45, Miseration, and Soilwork.

 

[Palpi]

I am not a ...death ... anything fan, apart from eluveitie, which is I guess a folk/death metal band, but hmm..w/e

 

[Meleeruler]

Please provide me a source explaining how melodeath isn't simply and logically a portmanteau of melodic death metal.

oh wait...

everyone i talk to excplained that melodeath and melodic death metal were two different things. >_>

i'm still inclined to believe them though.

 

[Geist]

Question. Does anyone know any bands that make a similar sound to Dethharmonic by Dethklok? I absolutely love that song to pieces.

because that gives you the chance of being wrong...

Speakin of genres, I found this extensive and mostly accurate map of metalz

Go carzy

 

[Luigitoilet]

omg, thank you so much for posting that. LOVE that it has songclips

also LOVE that it doesn't ignore mathcore and -core in general

 

[Rubyiris]

/r/ moar recommendations.

 

[WaveLength]

Rubyiris, maybe you should try Iron Thrones (they sound like BTBAM without sounding totally derivative) and Ghost (catchy occult-themed Heavy Metal)...

Dude, that's awesome.

 

[Grey Belnades]

So I went to a Motorhead show Tuesday...and it was amazing! I'm glad I took my camera as I took pictures and videos of the show. The vocalist of Valient Thorr (Opening band) went into the crowd and punched a guy that was throwing stuff at him and I even caught Lemmy's pick! Can't wait for the Big Four in April.

Rubyiris: I recommend Running Wild and Megadeth.

 

[Rubyiris]

I absolutely despise Thrash. Megadeth is like my #1 disliked thrash band ever too.

 

[Luigitoilet]

I just found Protest's Fortress...INSTRUMENTAL

bahahaha I like it more than the actual album

 

[GreenFox]

Where was the instrumental at I NEED

 

[Luigitoilet]

well, I can't really just point it out to you because that's against the rules.

But just google "protest the hero fortress instrumental"

They released their first single, C'est La Vie, if you guys want to check it out.
I think it has much more general appeal.

This is...OK. Doesn't blow me away but doesn't really disappoint me either. It's sort of like a black hole. Just sounds like "a Protest the Hero song" to me. I hope there will be some surprises with the other new songs.

at least it's not downright boring like all the new Human Abstract stuff is shaping up to sound like

sigh...AJ, you're better than this!

 

[Wretched]

I like the drum work, but that guitar work is so silly.
