Metal Genre Music Discussion - Vol. 4

[Impaled Nazarene]

Recently got back into Mastodon. I forgot how good Crack the Skye is.

like I said on the video
This makes the new In Flames album sound like an all time classic.

Yikes, that's bad. I don't recall In Flames ever being, y'know, remotaly enjoyable.

Cosumar just got triggered.

As did I. Mr. Novus, which In Flames albums have you heard?

I always feel bad that the extent of my Mastodon knowledge is that song from the Aqua Teen movie.

My knowledge of Mastodon is limited to this song. I don't like that song hence I haven't felt the need to check their other stuff.

[Kolmya]

I'll check out Vikingligr Veldi and Frost.

You don't like their magnum opus?

He spelled The Last Baron wrong.

So fucking good.

My drumming instructor likes progressive metal! Huzzah!

[Cosumar]

I didn't know you were a drummer! Huh. Or I just forgot.

What kind of stuff is he into? My tuba instructor in high school was into some old-school speed metal

Well he's multi-instrumental and worships Flea from RHCP but also Deftones, A Perfect Circle, Tool, Black Sabbath, Nirvana, The Beatles, Ministry, NIN, and a variety of jazz musicians but out of conversation today I learned he also loves Animals as Leaders and BTBAM and occasionally enjoys Dream Theater.

He's not REALLY an "instructor" in a curriculum style as his stepfather was my community college professor for a few years and sort of a mentor to me so I've known him for almost as long. I've only been playing for around a year so he offered to teach me.

I keep forgetting to mention this but when I flew back up for classes I wore my brand new Insect Warfare shirt under my battle jacket with a brand new Insect Warfare patch while listening to my brand new Insect Warfare CD whilst complaining that we will never get a brand new Insect Warfare album.

You're that in love with Insect Warfare?

My 7th favorite Album and it's not like they have another major release which could make me love them less. I love great grindcore that doesn't waste my time.

I swear I responded to this.

Their stuff does kinda vary a lot. Try this, or maybe even their newer stuff (I think you'd like it more than me)

Negative. For both.

Oh well

[Galborea]

I'm officially going to see Katatonia in March.

[Corrian]

Does anyone here try to sing along to metal even though they don't sound anything but crap when trying to?

I'm officially going to see Katatonia in March.

I really need to get a car, because after you said that, I looked it up and t hey're playing here in April, and I'd probably go. But I hate dragging my dad to Seattle.

[Cadonica]

I sing along 24/7 with all music I listen to, when I'm in a car or some place like that where there's little to no chance to be heard by others

[Ameriganastan]

I usually just badly air drum and air guitar. Though I do always mouth this one part in "Starchaser".

[Calimama]

I always sing along to any music I know the lyrics to, and I like to think I do a decent job when doing so, except if it's like, you know, death growls or something.

Congrats, I bet you're psyched!
I would love to see Jonas & Company in concert. I actually bought one of their live DVDs a few years ago. After searching the tour dates, it looks like they're coming to my city too! Will definitely make it a priority to go.

I'm also really excited about Amorphis finally embarking on a US tour this spring. They're not coming to Austin, but I would totally drive to Dallas or Houston for them. Swallow The Sun supporting makes it even more worth it. Another upcoming show I might consider driving the 4 hours for is Kreator/Obituary.

Me everyday

I'm sure my half-screaming along with black metal sounds particularly WTF to any randoms who happen to overhear...

I MIGHT get to see Amorphis and StS when they both play before Nile and Overkill.

Amorphis said in an interview than since they haven't toured North America in so long, they're going to make it a wide-ranging setlist that hits all the classics in addition to the newer material. So I'm pretty stoked. Seeing them with Nike and Overkill too would make for an amazing line-up if you have the chance (I've been wanting to hear Nile live for a long time), though it will probably be less comprehensive than their headlining setlist.

As for Katatonia, I hope they play some Viva Emptiness and Great Cold Distance songs. A surprise or two from December Souls would put me over the fucking moon, but I don't really expect them to.
