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

[The Ben]

On the subject of unique vocals Fleurety's first album had a really interesting vocal approach. The guy actually damaged his vocal chords to the point he couldn't continue singing after this recording. So they later took on a more jazz influenced style still with some unique vocals.

Silencer only had 1 album but the vocals on it sound something like an extreme falsetto as opposed to a full on black metal shriek. I think it sounds fairly unique though it probably takes some getting used to.

 

[Xyzz]

heh, metalcore ... the genre from which I found the least tracks which I genuinely enjoy. One; this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkE1JdxBFRg

edit: oh, and Heaven Shall Burn are great fun, live. I find no entertainment in their studio stuff, but they sure do put on a great show

 

[Geenareeno]

Don't like Parkway Drive or August Burns Red? Some of my favourite bands.

 

[Zwarm]

So Lykathea Aflame... pretty awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Dx8TP9UMX8&feature=related

 

[The Ben]

Yes!
This is my favorite song off that album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiDK8ieH0b0
Has anyone picked up the 2CD reissue with the remixes and bonus tracks?

 

[Xyzz]

Nope, but don't worry; I'm more of the wolfshirt purist sort, though infinitely more chill
Plus there's actually other music then metal I enjoy, like Ska / Reggae / prog rock / ... (:

The one death metal album which I enjoy more then Crimson (by Edge of Sanity, just in case somebody didn't come across that masterpiece yet... Listen to it!

 

[The Ben]

I love Crimson but it's far too proggy to just be tossed in with "death metal". There is something about a 40 minute lyrically sophisticated song that draws equally from doom and black metal as it does from death metal that makes it hard to call a "death metal" album.

 

[Zwarm]

I prefer Crimson II, just because I like melodeath more than just straight up death metal. But yes, I love both of those albums.

 

[Luigitoilet]

RIP Quarter the Villain . They put on such a fun show every time they came around here.

New Cannibal Corpse album coming out March 13th.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVLBF3cpOhU
Get hyped.

 

[Wretched]

New Corpse is meh
Corpsegrinder is past his prime and they're out of ideas.

 

[Luigitoilet]

holy ****, Psyopus is what has been missing from my life

http://youtu.be/S1niaUl-XyA

[Geenareeno]

That's really cool. And awesome.

I found that to be horrid xD

 

[Wretched]

Understandable. It is different and crazy.

 

[DerpDaBerp]

haha, no way that was fun as hell

 

[Luigitoilet]

Those vocals are stupid.

The rest of it is ok. It's such terrible quality that I can't really comment on it. I like some of the drumbeats I guess, lol.

 

[The Ben]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOvGV9VcDGY for whatever proggies we have here.

 

[Wretched]

The vocals are my favorite part.
They're different.

 

[Zwarm]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOvGV9VcDGY for whatever proggies we have here.

What a good song. Definitely checking out this band now.

 

[Roboturner]

Are there any other threads for stuff like progressive rock or post-rock?

I feel like this is a community of it's own so I'm sure you guys listen to other genres besides metal.

 

[Luigitoilet]

no. you're welcome to make such a thread. I doubt it will be very active unfortunately which is the main reason I haven't done it.

 

[Orboknown]

so LT refered me here to get some suggestion on good pantara songs.

 

[Cherished Doll]

Pantera?
COWBOYS FROM HELL

 

[Orboknown]

err...
alright...

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

Yo.

I just found Asking Alexandria. Even though they're not like, under ground or growlers.... it's ****ing great.

 

[the melon!!!!!]

That band has done a good job with disappointing me . Their screamer was at one point very good, now he can only really growl in concert let alone sing or do any high screams. The instruments are talented, but they continue to play the same boring riffs. I could understand playing simple riffs if they wanna be catchy, but at least play different ones every ones in a while :/.

That being said, their song Alerion is one of my favorite album intros (it's in my top 20 at least), so much hatred for a bunch of British angst-filled teens! They are also not the worst band to get into when first starting into metal (yep, I said it, they're not bad for that, at least they're heavier than bull**** Attack Attack XD), one just has to branch out afterwards or suffer the fate of enjoying only those kind of breakdown synth poppy vox bands (like Woe Is Me, Memphis May Fire, etc.)



Also, new Caliban isn't that bad!

[Luigitoilet]

oh my ggggggod

new rolo tomassi song

https://www.facebook.com/rolotomassiofficial?sk=app_178091127385

I dunno what to say, I ****ing love it. this band can do no wrong to my ears. I REALLY like the dual vocals doing the call-response thing in the verses and how insane the instruments are in other parts.

 

[Xyzz]

so LT refered me here to get some suggestion on good pantara songs.

My favourite one is "Walk". (:

 

[DUB]

Deathklok is the only metal brutal enough for me.

 

[Luigitoilet]

is that show still around?

I'm kinda bored of the ironic metal comedy thing, though Dethklok has the advantage of actually being pretty good musically as well.

 

[Wretched]

I don't like their vocals though.

 

[Geenareeno]

Yo.

I just found Asking Alexandria. Even though they're not like, under ground or growlers.... it's ****ing great.

Here's my deal with Asking Alexandria. I loved their first album to death, and still do, it's so good. But, they suck *** live, and I didn't really care for their stuff after the first.

 

[DerpDaBerp]

Fun Fact(s): The Dethklok members' appearances are based on actual metal musicians.
Nathan Explosion = George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher of Cannibal Corpse
Skwisgaar Skwigelf = Yngwie Malmsteen
Toki Wartooth = Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth
Pickles = (early) Devin Townsend of Strapping Young Lad
William Murderface isn't though. He's just ridiculous haha.

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

Detharmonic is such a good song.

 

[Orboknown]

My favourite one is "Walk". (:

ive heard that one though.
blagh.

 

[Luigitoilet]

just get some pantera albums and listen to them and find songs you like. it's really not that difficult lol.

anyways, I'm thinking about seeing Protest the Hero, Periphery, Jeff Loomis on The Safety Fire on this new tour.

Don't really care about any of them except Protest, but I really really wanna see Protest and they're headlining so I'll probably go. Should be vaguely interesting to watch Loomis do his thing though.

 

[Veetaak]

Yo.

I just found Asking Alexandria. Even though they're not like, under ground or growlers.... it's ****ing great.

I actually really like Asking Alexandria too.

Ben and Danny are the funnies people ever too, especially in this interview: (will post a few parts of funny moments)

"It's not **** if they can't say no" :D
It might just be my humor but yeah, I find them hilarious

 

[Roboturner]

I've seen Protest live twice now, they put on a good show. Periphery is also pretty good.

I want to make the 7 hour drive to Atlanta to see them, but only if they play Tandem or Tapestry, I've seen their other songs enough already.

Last time I saw them they played Nautical which made me extremely happy. Sucks that they will never play at least half of kezia though
