Metal Genre Music Discussion - Vol. 4

I'm enjoying the new Thy Catafalque album a lot and the ambivalent response to it from some of the critics is bullshit. It's more focused than previous stuff without being less experimental and spending time letting good musical ideas play out for a bit isn't boring or repetitive, it's atmospheric you mongrels.

Which took on a whole new meaning yesterday.

What happened? :unsure:

Sounds like I might actually enjoy it more than some of their past work. I often wished they would bounce around a little less and let the cool sections shine more.

I was the only loader at Lowe's all weekend because one I 100% expected to quit on us did halfway through his shift on Friday right before the weekend, and he was the only other one of 5 scheduled that day or not still in training, like one was. So I was just so physically tired by the end of the weekend.

There's a serious lack of Floating Tomb on this thread.

So, the 16th note triplet groove in Zero Tolerance is still one of my all-time favorite rhythm guitar parts. Now if only I could play it in time...

I can't even sit here and move my wrist to that rhythm, let alone strum it on a guitar... :shock:

Ok, that is just too perfect... Closing this poll NOW.

EDIT: And new one up! Good timing for this question too.

The Hungarian national selection for the Eurovision 2018 song contest might be to the liking of some here.

triplet-triplet-triplet-triplet...etc.

It's not a hard rhythm, just hard to play fast.

Well, yeah, obviously I meant at that speed.

As for the poll, it was tough for me to choose after my top two, which are "Raining Blood" and "Mandatory Suicide". Nearly every song on Reign In Blood could conceivably have taken third, but I ended up going with "Dead Skin Mask" just because it came up on shuffle earlier today and really jived me since I've been reading a lot about serial killers lately (don't ask).

Fair enough.

I ended up going with Raining Blood and War Ensemble for my first two. My third was actually South of Heaven.

Spotify came up good today with its new release recommendation.

Check out Follow The Cipher's self-titled album for some synth-heavy power metal that has enough meat in the chug and strong enough vocals to end up somewhere more interesting than the cheese vats. It's unapologetically towards the light end of the market but it's pretty good.

My top 3 favorites are Angel of Death, Hell Awaits and Raining Blood. Those are the only good ones as well. I mean what.

So, would you guys consider Powerman 5000 to be metal? Or is it just rock?

I always considered them Nu Metal.

Hrm...they don't sound like it to me, though. And I've been listening to a lot of nu metal bands lately.

EDIT: Nevermind, turns out Wiki also agrees.

...

They put 12 Stones as Nu Metal?!

Yo I need some fresh Death Metal and Doom Metal albums please, anyone has any recommendations?

Thanks so much! I would lurk for more albums.

Btw one of my favorite songs of Slayer is Criminally Insane.

Wikipedia is shit for genre labels on bands. I'd use Rateyourmusic more.

Definitely in my top five or so as well. I have yet only just begun to TAKE A FUCKING LIFE!

Also, your request is hard to meet because I don't know what you already like and "death and doom" metal is a very broad request.

by **Ameriganastan** » Sat May 12, 2018 4:55 pm

I just thought about something: The kid from that "!8 And Life" song would probably be out of jail by now.

So this isn't metal, please don't bite my head off, but does anybody like Orbs?
