Metal Genre Music Discussion

[Demen 2]

That's right. Finally a place where you can just talk about metal. But I have a few ground rules:

1. I will NOT tolerate trolls here. You don't like metal? Cool. But stay out.
2. NO flaming about other's opinions. Live and let live.
3. Spam isn't cool. Get me?


Alright. Now that we have that out of the way, I figure I'll name just a few Metal bands I listen to. And by a few, I mean 30.

Grayceon, Coffinworm, Om, Sleep, Acid Bath, Acid Witch, Death, Gorod, Anata, Beyond Creation, Fleshgod Apocolypse, Suma, Khanate, Sunn O))), Bongripper, Bongzilla, Sardonis, Maudlin of the Well, Iniquity, Agalloch, Altar of Plagues, Alcest, Woods of Ypres, Omega Massif, Nile, Baroness, Conan, 40 Watt Sun, Egypt and Ahab.

Now that you have a rough idea of what my taste in Metal is, what about you? Favorite bands, sub-genres, artists, drummers, guitarists, etc. All is welcome in the general Metal thread.

Metal!

Hello from 2015

[Dumb Ideologies]

I'm absolutely crazy about Thy Catafalque at the moment. Incredible creativity and ability to dip into different styles from their black metal-ish base without it ever seeming forced or gimmicky.

My favorite subgenres are black metal, death metal, and doom metal (and grindcore if that counts) although I am open to pretty much anything

[Demen 2]

Finally! We've had threads for folk metal, power metal, death metal, grindcore, thrash metal, and even specific bands. But now finally, we have a thread where it can all be discussed together! Well done, Demen.

I'll copy the OP and list some of my favorite bands..

Thank you.



And Cradle of Filth? Korn? Avenged Sevenfold? Disturbed? Trivium? Why?

I will make whatever music threads I damn well please and comments from the Peanut gallery don't mean a fucking thing.

What are you talking about? I wasn't being sarcastic. I'm glad you made this thread.

Snip.

And Cradle of Filth? Korn? Avenged Sevenfold? Disturbed? Trivium? Why?

I know you don't like Nu Metal or Metalcore. But I do enjoy some nu metal and metalcore bands.
I understand you don't like those, but what's wrong with Cradle of Filth?

And instead of picking out the few bands/genres in my list that you hate and talking about those, why don't we discuss the bands/genres we both like? I'd much rather have a good conversation about metal than argue endlessly over why I like some of the bands I do.

Shit.


CTS is acting up, so I'm touchy as fuck right now. Sorry. And okay, sure.

Why doesn't anyone but me listen to Boris?

I like most Metalcore, believe it or not.


I've never saw anything inherently wrong with bands like A Day To Remember or Miss May I or I Killed the Prom Queen. Of course, I prefer Converge type Metalcore, but I don't really mind Pop Punk vocals.

[Imperium Nova Roma]

I like Rap Metal.

Problem?

[Demen 2]

I like Rap Metal.

Problem?

Rage Against the Machine is great.

[Imperium Nova Roma]

I like Rap Metal.

Problem?

Rage Against the Machine is great.

Indeed, how about Stuck Mojo or Body Count?

Stuck Mojo is okay, and Body Count?


You mean Ice T's band? That's Thrash Metal/Crossover.

[Cosumar]

I like Rap Metal.

Problem?

Rage Against the Machine is great.

Their debut album is among my favorite albums of all time. Their later work was less impressive to me, but they're still one of my favorite bands. I didn't expect you to like them, Demen.

When I feel like beating the shit out of random people, it calms me down, oddly.

[Trollgaard]

I like black metal and black influenced viking/folk metal.

Some of my favorite bands are:

Falkenbach, Darkthrone, Marduk, Taake, Immortal, Horna, Satanic Warmaster, Behexen, Beastcraft, Tsjuder, old Satyricon (Nemesis Divina era), Iuvenes, Bathory, Carpathian Forest, Archgoat, Graveland, and Vulture Lord to name a few. Black metal fucking rules.

On the topic of metalcore...

- I don't think there's anything wrong with them persay, but I've never been a fan of bands like ADTR. Just not my style.

- A7X put out some very good metalcore in their early days that I don't think gets enough credit. People automatically count them among the list of "shitty metalcore" just because people dislike their later work.

- And, of course, Converge always will be among the best metalcore bands. Dark Horse is one of my favorite metalcore songs.

Do you like Amorphis or Kylesa? I've been getting into both bands a lot recently

[Octabrinaland]

My favourite metal genres: progressive metal, grindcore, death metal (including melodic death metal), groove metal

Favourite metal bands: Dream Theatre, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Pig Destroyer, In Flames, The Haunted, Lamb of God, Soulfly
I would say Enter Shikari, but I hardly classify them as metal.

I like Rap Metal.

Problem?

Rage Against the Machine is great.

EDIT: Evil Empire is my favourite album. Then their debut one.

Lack of sludge and drone metal makes me a sad boy. There's some prog being represented, though, so I guess I can't complain.

I guess I should post a list. I'll do that later.

[Oterro]

I like some stuff by The Sword, Bathory, Motorhead and Black Sabbath. I know some people think of Zeppelin as metal, and they're one of my favourite bands - as are AC/DC but I don't class either of them as metal. I'm not big into it as you can see, heheh.

[North Wiedna]

Okay, as far as metal goes, here are some of the bands I have albums from.

Akphaezya, Alcest, Animals as Leaders, Atheist, Ayreon, Black Sabbath, Boris, Cult of Luna, Deafheaven, Diablo Swing Orchestra, Dream Theater, Dysrhythmia, Faith No More, Fantômas, Fen, Kayo Dot, Les Discrets, Mastodon, maudlin of the Well, Melvins, Mr. Bungle, Nadja, Om, Opeth, Pain of Salvation, Pelican, Pin-Up Went Down, Rammstein, Riverside, Rosetta, Sunn O))), Sunn O))) & Boris, Tomahawk, Tool, Ulcerate

You were like the only one. You and Demen.

I was hoping to get some recommendations.

[Idaho Conservatives]

No one has mentioned Metallica?

Yeah, I know: You can walk in to any junior high and find some dumbass 13 year old going "HURR DURR! MEHTAHLUCKA!" Indeed, they've almost become a caricature of metal. But until they sold out, there were fucking good. They lose one of the greatest bassists in metal and it doesn't slow them down. Their castoffs became gods.
