Metal Genre Music Discussion - Vol. 4

[Silver Commonwealth]

Hey, does anyone know any metal groups, which music is influenced by Native American culture? So far, I have found Nechochwen, and I quite like them, but are there any other groups like that?

(I got into metal fairly recently, and as of now, I like to listen to folk metal the most, as I am also interested about folklore, and culture.)

Testament particularly Dark Roots of Earth and Brotherhood of the Snake but they're thrash.

Well that's just lyrical influences because Chuck Billy is part Native American.

Silver this might help you.

Part? Chuck Billy is full on Pomo.

I stand corrected.

Thanks to you both. Huh, interesting. I will give a few of them a try.

1st World Problems: Can't listen to Tool on Spotify.

[The Imperial Reach]

Still one of the greatest songs ever made.

That song is incredibly boring.

[Dumb Ideologies]

That song is incredibly boring.

Ok Varg

The great man is far too busy with his charming videoblogs and definitely sincere writings about peaceably spreading the joys of Odin for him to get caught up in the sort of negativity and cynicism that typifies NationStatesposting.

I am fairly new to metal as well. Love " Steak nr 8" "Amenra", "Cult of Luna" and "Deem Index". But last one is really unknown. I only know them because the spouse of a friend is the drummer.

Never heard of any of them myself.

Cult of Luna and Amenra are both really good. No fucking clue what the other two are though. If you like those bands I mentioned then check out Neurosis, Isis, Sumac, Oathbreaker, Rosetta, and Celeste.

Cult of Luna has one of the finest examples of a literal wall of sound. Just ten minutes of absolute mayhem.

[Silver Commonwealth]

Tbh, it might be just me, but I am not too interested in Norse metal, because I like to explore more obscure metal, like already mentioned Native American metal, for an example. (Not sure, of how obscure some of those songs are, though, but still...)

I second Rosetta. They have some truly awesome stuff, I need to listen to more of them. And this is coming from someone who usually cares little for the whole drone/post-metal/atmospheric sludge type sound.

Cult of Luna has some stuff I enjoy too. "Cygnus" is actually rather epic. Makes me want more space-themed stoner metal.

No, no; I agree. Norse Metal is insanely overrated. There are some damn fine tracks about Thor, Valkyries, Valhalla, Ragnarok, Vikings, etc. - don't get me wrong. But the fact that there is just so much of it just gets tiresome after a while. The "muh Heathen pride" stuff gets real old real fast, which is a real shame because most Nordic metal bands seem to be all about that stuff (especially Swedish bands, even Sabaton has a song about Swedish Pagans and covered Twilight of the Thunder God by Amon Amarth - which is the best cover of anything ever made, btw).

I figure it's mostly a heritage thing, and as my heritage isn't Norse it just doesn't do anything special for me to hear about the exploits of the Norse Gods or Viking raiders. Like if the song's good then the song's good, but I don't get the appeal myself. IMO, Vikings are the most overrated theme in Western Media.

The veteran Stockholm death metal band Unleashed, a band known for composing songs about Vikings and Norse paganism even before it was cool as fuck, pretty much release concept albums about a post-Ragnarok future these days. Surprisingly original, yet true to form.

If not for all the fascists/white supremacists who wank off to that stuff I would disagree harder.

Khm, what do you think about the music of Skyforger, chaps? (The Latvian folk metal band, not the Amorphis album, of course)

One of those bands on my almost endless "to check later" list that doesn't really even exist past "I've heard about them, should check them later" mentality. In other words, I don't really have an opinion about them so far.

[Dumb Ideologies]

The new album by the non-fake version of Batushka is pretty good.
