Sunshine Mix posted:I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but are there any more groups that sound like or similar to Deafheaven? In all candor I normally don't go in for metal at all, but I heard Sunbather yesterday and really, really liked it. From a bit back, but Entropia's Vesper is what you're looking for. I kept going back and forth about whether I liked this or Sunbather more, and finally settled on the former.

Nightshade Forests is my favorite Summoning release and one of my favorite metal releases. It makes me want to live out in the woods and kill animals with replica LOTR weapons. Habbanan Under the Stars is an emotional one for me.

I'm dragging up an old and short discussion in this thread that's old enough I can't find the drat thing, but I want to revisit it. At some point a short time ago a discussion came up over Metallica's Lords Of Summer song, someone started talking about Kalmah, and I asserted that this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs0QAwa4av4 Was very Metallica-like and arguably Metallica done right. Someone challenged that and I'll confess I couldn't quite put my thoughts behind my reasoning into words, but I was listening to this on the way home tonight and it finally cohered into something I can explain. First off, Kalmah is melodeath, and the era of Metallica I'm citing is very much 80s thrash, but Wolves On The Throne has a lot of Metallica staples in the music. Aside from the emphasis on harmonies and melodic work, which Metallica seems to eschew, a ton of the riffs scream like they came from the James Hetfield school of guitar playing. The main riff especially. The solo rings vaguely Hammet-ish to me, and the lyrics sound like Justice era James singing about politics. In my head, Wolves On The Throne is a song that might have been on the follow up to ...Justice had Bob Rock never stepped into the picture. If Metallica veered into harder thrash rather than going towards a more mainstream and hard rock approach, Wolves On The Throne or something like it with cleaner vocals could have been on there. This is all personal opinion and I can't believe I'm dragging up a discussion involving 3 people, but I was finally able to articulate my argument and I wanted to. A few reviewers for that Kalmah album also expressed some Metallica vibes, though I'm hard pressed to find them right now, so I feel validated in that. Ignoring this stupid dredging up of a stupid discussion nobody here probably remembers or cares about, this post can also serve as a reminder that Kalmah loving rocks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRJxCrTyHNA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQrr9ANlSnI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiFXF4N7czE

I had to read that twice because I thought you were saying Wolves in the Throne Room had Metallica staples in their music and assumed you were insane.

Trivium's The Crusade was a bad love letter to Metallica riffs. I'm at a loss for how anyone could think Kalmah sounds like Metallica. Kalmah, like almost all Finnish melodeath bands, throws death metal vocals and more aggressive drumming around '90s euro power metal riffs. In closing, here's a grown man from Kalmah in a Whitechapel t-shirt:

Spanish Manlove posted:Kalmah is everything I thought Children of Bodom would become, but didn't. This exactly. Children of Bodom were the first "extreme" metal band I got into as a kid (extreme compared to Metallica and Megadeth). From there, I discovered Kalmah and quickly dumped Children of Bodom from my listening entirely. I have a few friends who took the same path into metal too.

I know it's old hat by now, but I've listened to Opeth's Pale Communion a few times over the past couple days, it really feels leaps and bounds better than Heritage. I saw Opeth twice when they toured for Heritage and the songs from that album sounded a lot better live, but I can't remember the last time I sat down and listened to that album all the way through. PC just flows so smoothly. Shame that these past 2 albums couldn't have been some side project from Mikael rather than an Opeth release.

Kalmah are Really loving Good and their keyboardist steals the show whenever he pops up. I think They Will Return is my favorite of theirs, having gone through the first 4 albums in their discog. Each one is subtly different but consistently high in quality. I don't tend to like melodeath too much but Kalmah are good energetic music for running. I've really been enjoying Novembre and As Light Dies (sorry for the live vid but I couldn't find this track on YouTube) recently. I like the sort of mysterious, gothic, but still somewhat dissonant and experimental sound they have. You guys should look into them if you haven't.

I must be loving crazy, I hear so much Metallica in Wolves On The Throne, but my ears are hosed I guess. But I also agree completely with this:Spanish Manlove posted:Kalmah is everything I thought Children of Bodom would become, but didn't. I can barely listen to other kinds of melodeath because Kalmah pretty much nails that subgenre.

Am I the only one here who doesn't find Kalmah that special? I mean sure it's good, solid melodeath, but... well, that's about the extent of it really. Oh and the most Metallica-ripoff-y band is this Finnish bunch named Am I Blood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOBcedsst34

I think they're special because of everything I've heard in the melodeath scene, they're the guys who manage to keep their style fresh while keeping to their melodic roots while laying on the brutality and heaviness in a way that the others in the genre are increasingly failing to do. They're not the be-all-end-all metal band but they're worth keeping on the playlist rotation for sure.

I recognize that most melodeath is basically pop metal but that doesn't mean I don't like it. The genre might be formulaic, but being as consistent as Kalmah are at writing smart and memorable songs, especially within a poppy format, takes a good degree of skill.
