Metal Genre Music Discussion

[Former Wellboneland]

"I agree."
17 year old Wellbone

I am 17. I loved that song two years ago. I would blast it from my car. At least it was good for scaring suburban folks...

I blasted out Master of Puppets to scare people until Disturbed came out with "Down With The Sickness."

They now think my mother is beating on me :/

[Demen 2]

Should I feel band for missing this line-up?

Baroness

yes you should feel bad!!!!

Suicide Silence

.

[North Wiedna]

So many awful bands. There are only a handful of good acts..

How goes to festivals for music anyway. ;)
But point taken.

You missed Demonic Death Judge.

Seriously though Devin Townsend never disappoints.

[Blakk Metal]

Still fucking epic compared to everything else.

except good music

I've been here since '09, and that's the first time I've found a post worth sigging.

i'm flattered!!!!!!!

Really how can you guys not love them? I guess the vocals are weird but I like em.

Brilliant. The cycle has begun fuckers, music is back!! 2010-2020, FULL FORCE AHEAD!

I'll keep that song in mind when I start the Third Wave of Blakk Black Metal.

Lel isn't third wave black metal ''hipster black metal''?

Hipster Black Metal is just raped Second Wave Black Metal.

but it's more innovative and interesting than SWBM.

[Meryuma]

He does not like any genre connected to punk. Ignore him.

I like nintendocore, if that counts.

Generally not, but don't make generalizations.

Is it hypocritical of me to be off-put by their vocals but simultaneously kinda like Ghost?

[Oterro]

Yes, because Ghost is easily the worst track on ITAOTS.

But that was terrible.

It's a catchy song with a great melody that hearkens back to bands such as The Locust, and was the soundtrack to a really amusing indie game. Haters gonna hate, I guess.

[The REAL Glasers]

And ah. See, I never really hated BTBAM, though everyone else seems to. They're not, of course, the best or my favourite band, and probably not a band I'd listen to just in leisure, but I like it.


And ew Motorhead.

People hate BTBAM and me because they're popular amongst mallgoths and stuff.

I hated Colors first time I heard it and it just grew and grew on me and I have to stop myself listening to it too much.

Still not sure whether to go see Motorhead as they're pretty old so I'm not sure if they're still good, and I only really like 2 of their albums. It's also gonna be a big gig and I'm not keen on them.

BTBAM is one of the most insipid Prog Metal bands I've ever heard. There isn't a good songwriter in the band and their vocalist is among the worst in Metal.

I hope I'm not the only person that realizes that the song title is a direct reference to "Gold Soundz" by Pavement.

Das gute!
I've never really found vocals that I've thought were weird or out of place before. Is that bad? Have I been listening to too much weird shit to tell the difference?

[Jakaragua]

Well, I guess to be "innovative and interesting" in Black Metal you have to a false pretense that the only way to generate atmosphere is to use as few compelling ideas as possible (to create some kind of "otherworldly experience" or something) and stretch them over some 10+ minute songs. Come on people, why does atmospheric metal have to be boring?

i don't like the dirty vocals but i love the instrumentation and the screaming on tracks like white walls ala punk bands rather than metal ones are fucking fantastic

i don't know what you mean by poor song writing

do you think their tracks are directionless or what? i don't know man, none of their songs seem overly long or directionless to me, everything feels pretty well put together on colors.

I'm glad SOME OF US have taste!!!!

Honestly I never thought they were weird either - last time I posted them people commented on them though, so eh.

That's a little harsh.

There is literally nothing compelling about their songs. There are many sections that also feel like they're thrown in without any real reason but only exists in an effort to be "technical".

[Jakaragua]

guess it's just 2deep4u bro

Nah brah, blackish, folkish drone-like music with needless arrangements and sprinkles of blasting or riffing that make no sense has gotten old and tired too fast. It also doesn't make black metal a deep, philosophical genre because it was never that way to begin with.

[Oterro]

Err.

yes there is.

Why would I listen to them if their songs weren't compelling.

Maybe you just have shit taste.

oh okay so you just want them to be mundane?

alright then

i dunno man i mean burning down churches and railing against mainstream culture sure is a hell of a statement to make just because

who cares about first wave
