Metal Thread 2: In Metal There Is No Law

[Kiaculta]

Still Life was pretty weak with only one really good song on it. Blackwater Park on the other had is pure gold.

For some reason I could never get into Blackwater Park. I respect it and Harvest in particular is a great song, but I just never bothered to listen to the album as a whole enough for it to sink in. My Arms, Your Hearse, on the other hand, I absolutely love.

Still Life is definitely easier to listen to from front to back but Blackwater Park has better songs, Harvest, Bleak, and the title track to be specific.

My Arms, Your Hearse is the only Opeth album I truly love. April Ethereal is one of the best metal songs ever. But the whole thing is just beautiful and crushing.

Orchid, Morningrise, Blackwater Park and Watershed all have some great songs too, but aren't as consistently amazing as MA,YH.

Compared to the rest of Opeth's discography, Orchid is underrated.

Speaking of Opeth, I'll be buying Deliverance pretty soon.

I don't personally like that album, but putting aside my bias point of view I would have to agree with you on that.

I have listened to all the pre "Heritage" albums and I found them all to be great, with the exception of "Orchid" and "Ghost Reveries". I am not sure as to why I can't seem to enjoy "Orchid" (it might grow on me with more listens), but I found "Ghost Reveries" to be boring as fuck throughout.

Anyway my favourite Opeth album would be "My Arms, Your Hearse", but a couple of their other albums give it a good run for its money.

Greetings: It is a pleasure to see you alive, Revan.

Just listened to the first song from the album. Reeeally solid stuff. Kinda reminds me of Dead Congregation.

[Demen 2]

ITT: thinking mallcore is only metalcore

good metalcore is cash

also worth listening: botch, shai hulud, zao, earth crisis

You must not have heard of Integrity. Not "Mallcore"

is this a slipknot cover band?

Yeah, Grave Miasma is unholy bliss. Saw them live on stage during the Roadburn festival years ago, my copy of the Realm Of Evoked Doom EP tends to be played regularly.

Integrity has existed for a while longer than Slipknot, actually.

that was not an actual question.

it's very okay, i just don't like integrity that much. they fall into the category of bad 90s metalcore


which is pretty much over half of the 90s hardcore movement

Personally I like to think that Integrity is actually a pretty good band, especially in comparison to acts such as Madball and Biohazard. Not that it really matters, since I'm more into stuff such as Rorschach, His Hero Is Gone, From Ashes Rise, Tragedy and Bloody Phoenix.

good tastes.

i hate integrity's vocalist. the reason i call it a slipknot cover band is because he sounds like corey taylor

[Corrian]

Opeth is one of those bands I like decently but would probably never care to actually own an album of because they're not interesting enough to me for that.

they're just not interesting honestly

it's an achievement in itself for a fucking death metal band to bore someone, and wow does opeth bore me

[Corrian]

Actually, death metal boring me seems to be very easy. Partly why it took me so freaking long to get into death metal.

It would be more accurate to say that Corey Taylor sounds like him. He was recorded first.

okay, Corey Taylor sounds like the guy from integrity

who has a shitty voice

Agreed.

Death metal is a genre of metal different from any other. It has a large variety of styles which sound very different from one another, yet, ironically, within these styles, it is difficult to find bands that stick out from one another. This is why I think death metal gets boring. There is only so much variety within a subgenre, and death metal artists have been scrapping the barrel of new ideas trying to make unique music for a while now.

It's not that any of the music is bad, it just, at times, seems like once you've listened to the discography of a few big names within a particular style of death metal, you've heard pretty much that entire style's potential for new material, with rare exceptions. When I do find death metal that sounds unique:

That's pretty much the entirety of punk vocalists. Terrible voices.

Exactly. There are only few death metal bands that I really like, when in thrash, black and doom metal there are dozens of bands I love.
