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

[Geenareeno]

Haha I don't know if you guys like power metal but Nightwish is my favourite band with a female singer. She sings opera over 80's metal riffs, pretty much. Actaully the way I found them was through a BBrawl trailer.

 

[Palpi]

Tarja is pretty good, their new singer is awful. Nightwish is whipped by their record deal. Markko should be the lead singer.

 

[Xianglian]

Nightwish sorta reminds me of Soundwitch and Lightbringer, more so Lightbringer, but all are power metal. In the lead singer aspect I mean. Although the lead singer in Nightwish has a much softer tone than the lead singer in Lightbringer.

Lightbringer - Diamond

Soundwitch - Without

She sounds weird because she's trying to sing in English.

I agree she isn't very good but I still like it because the guitar got better.

Right at the beginning of the Lightbringer one I thought of Deathnote because of the bass. Kinda funny how I relate two Japanese bass tones.

 

[Palpi]

Markko is one of the 4 singers in the band, "The Northern Kings"

Epic metal cover of "Take on me" by Northern Kings

Markko from night wish, Tony Kakko from sonata arctica (my favorite vocalist) and 2 other vocalists do it.

 

[Luigitoilet]

Man, I dunno how I ignored Number 12's early work for so long. It is so good. love the passion

(yeah, I know it's basically the exact opposite of what everyone is talking about right now but screw it!)

Grrr, I hate when people say "Deathnote" and don't care to know the actual BAND behind the anime.

The band that made the second Season beginning and ending was Maximum the Hormone (My favorite band BTW)

The first season was some garbage Visual Kei band called Nightmare.

KNOW THE MUSIC BEHIND THE ANIME. Thank you

Oh thanks so much. I was wondering wtf that music was, it sounds a lot like System of a Down but I knew it wasn't. Gonna go listen to them now.

Who here likes Devin Townsend?

Who here likes Frank Sinatra?

[Luigitoilet]

Devin Townsend is really really awesome.

anyone like Born of Osiris? Their newest album leaked a couple days ago. It's pretty good! There are so many keyboard/synth interludes even compared to their older stuff.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyWRRLXUXMU

 

[Geist]

Born of Osiris is pretty sweet.
But right now I'm super hyped for Tesseract's first album that's coming out. They're probably my favorite new band right now. I've really been digging djent.

Wow with pth, boo, and Amon Amarth that's three leaks. Good thing/too bad Sumerian took it down.

I friggin HATE that term. "djent". I also don't understand how it is any different from progressive metal/metalcore. just because you use slightly different amp settings doesn't warrant an entirely new genre

 

[Geist]

*slow shrug*
Doesn't matter to me either way.
Maybe they'll start calling Doom Metal DUUNN metal lol.

 

[Luigitoilet]

Tesseract is a really good band though. I brought this band up a little while ago but Ever Forthright is my favorite djent group

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdRTkRzO-vs&feature=related

 

[Geist]

Yes. I love them, but I can't find their stuff anywhere.

 

[Xianglian]

Okay what the hell does djent mean. Never heard of it.

 

[Luigitoilet]

Okay what the hell does djent mean. Never heard of it.

"djent" literally refers to the type of tone that a lot of metal/core groups use. It is this very high-gain, scooped mids type of distortion.

Basically, it is a verbalization of the sound of a breakdown. The type of guitar tone makes it very sharp and scrapey and makes a "djent" sound.

it is literally used to describe the tone of the guitars. outside of that, it basically means "progressive metalcore". The most popular "djent" band seems to be Periphery

[Geist]

Pretty much progressive metalcore with a distinct sound to it. The word Djent itself is kinda onomatopoeic I guess.
I've hear that sound combined with everything from electronic to prog rock though, so I don't think it's 100% correct to call it straight up progressive metalcore, but I don't really it matters either way.

dammit ninja'd
10ninja's

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

Damn. I can't believe that i didn't see this. This is brutal.
Epic.

When i think metalcore i think trivium personally.
Because deathcore would be more suicide silence correct?

 

[Wretched]

Yes, SS a perfect example of deathcore (which I <3, but not SS).
You have a pony avatar.
Also, I've been listening to brutal death. <3 cannibal corpse

 

[Geenareeno]

SS isn't really a prime example of deathcore imo. They don't have that many "metalcore" breakdowns and a lot of their riffs sound like graindcore. Also this progressive metalcore stuff is good. I would consider Deathcore to be bands like All Shall Perish and Carnifex.

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

I indeed do have a pony av.
I love suicide. All shall perish is good too.
You guys going to Mayhem this year?
I'm so pumped. In flames, man so down.

I saw JFAC a couple years back on tour with CC and it was sick.

 

[SangueMoon]

I am a metal head but some say I am an elitist. I don't think I am an elitist at all because I don't argue on what is metal and what is not, I just give my opinion on the subject. Either way, I listen to what I listen to. Here is some of my favorite bands that I am currently listening too. Though I do have a diverse taste in metal, I sometimes only list what I am currently listening too on rotation. It does change every month or so.

1. Blind Guardian
2. Epica
3. Symphony X
4. Type O Negative
5. Rhapsody of Fire
6. Nile
7. Epiclore
8. Kamelot
9. Nightwish
10. Dark Princess
11. Behemoth
12. Immortal
13. Iron Maiden
14. Helloween
15. Demons and Wizards
16. Dream Evil
17. Opeth
18. Hammerfall
19. Amon Amarth
20. Sonata Artica
21. X Japan
22. Tristinia
23. Dio
24. Judas Priest
25. Fairyland
26. Manowar

 

[Luigitoilet]

I'm glad to see the Blind Guardian love.

 

[SangueMoon]

Yep, I like Blind Guardian. Saw them live a few years ago and they were good. I really enjoy their new stuff too.

 

[Geist]

Epicaaaaa \m/

Oh I just checked out Born of Osiris's newsest album, and it's sooo good. Much better than their previous stuff.

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

The new straight line stitch album came out on the 22nd. They're pretty good. They're gonna be at Mayhem Fest so i was giving them a listen.

In Flames, Suicide, Straight Line, Nightwish, Powerglove have all been on my top lately.

you guys ever heard of powerglove? Oh man. Look up like, X-men. or ... inspector gadget. So ****ing metal.

That's some good stuff, very diverse indeed. What puzzles me is that you joined smashboards and the first and only two posts you made were in this thread lol.

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

Maybe...
He only joined cause this thread is awesome.
Or he only rights in social threads.....

Haha.

All of those bands were great, but have asdgjkflsgjkhoah singers. I see where that term comes from. But I feel it is unnecessary to create a term that is not needed.

9. Nightwish

21. X Japan

I was surprised to see Nightwish there. X japan is the founder of Visual kei, super surprised to see that there. But that is classic 80's Heavy Metal from Japan.

Thanks...

Yeah, I was about to post in the other boards but my internet failed lol... I usually tend to post in the social sections and lurk on the others until I read most of the threads.

[Death Arcana]

A Day To Remember came out with a new album in november
a single you probably heard

all I want

imo jeremy mckinnon has amazing screams

 

[Luigitoilet]

*vomits*

I mean I guess it's fine to post ADTR in here but I can 't think of many more bands who are less metal.

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

Uh.
I can name a few.

Infact, i got dragged to an Anberlin/We The Kings concert last week, it was on campus.
Holy.
Shxt.
It was awful. People we're doing that "Skanking" thing... i was raging so hard.

 

[Luigitoilet]

well yeah, I can too. point is, is why the hell are they being talked about in here?

Who else hopes Fallout Boy gets back together!?

MIA's last album was dope

Andrew WK is awesome

etc.

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

Haha.
Well, Trivium's new album is coming out soon.
:D
That's always good. Somethin' to look forward to. I think In Flames is coming out with one too.
Not sure though.

 

[Geenareeno]

Man I want to see Hester Prynne live that would be so amazing. But I am going to an amazing show soon; August Burns Red and Born of Osiris. And my pth preorder came in today so i'm wearing the shirt and going to listen to it too.
