I've been meaning to check them out for a long time. What's their best album?

It's Mabool - The Story of the Three Sons of Seven if you want more death metal style vocals or The Never Ending Way of ORwarriOR if you want clean vocals.

The uploads from the youtube promoters I listen to have been great so far this year.

Jesus I'm making way too many types of music lists. I imagine this will be a work in progress forever.

What are the lists right now?

So... what's your favorite rhythm?

They're all barely done, anyway.

Is this not the General Music Discussion? I mean, I think it's fair to ask what people's favorite rhythm is. If this is a music discussion, then can we not talk about music rhythms and theory and structure?

"what's your favourite rhythm" is a really vague question

do you mean in context of a song? chord progression? tempo? melody?

I couldn't care less of rhythms or theory or structures. If it sounds good it's good, period.

I just didn't know what you meant by that.

Anyway, I don't really pay attention to that kind of thing so I don't have a favorite.

The First Republic of the Seventh Bay wrote:So... what's your favorite rhythm?

Lol, that's like asking someone their favorite note.

It depends on the context of the genre, artists, song, etc. A certain rhythm can sound good in one song and bad in another. I doubt anyone here has a "favorite rhythm" in mind.

I don't have a single favorite. I write a lot of riffs and stuff that have 8th notes and/or patterns of 3 I guess.

I could mean stuff like that, but I would also ask that as a musician. Does anyone here play music? Or are all of you guys only avid listeners?

I'm merely doing some dark ambient every now and then.
Yes, I made that, I need to make more sometime soon >.>

Not me. I can't play anything worth a crap. Just an avid listener

I'm trying to go to drumming lessons, but it's hard, with me moving from country to country and all.....

I play my guitar(s) obsessively almost everyday, but the lack of an able teacher has left me without much knowledge of theory or correct technique T_T

Such are the consequences of living in the middle of nowhere

I've been playing saxophone and taking private lessons for it for four or five years now, and I know A FEW things on piano and guitar. I'd have to say I'm pretty good at saxophone, but I don't like to brag.

Since I was talking about lists I was making and someone asked about them, here's an example of one of many lists I have as a work in progress:

Thinking of making playlists with the same general concept on Spotify, as well.
