Isiliel - Moonbow Genesis

This is a side project spinning out of the currently inactive underground idol band Necronomidol. I had high expectations coming from the few tracks they released early and was absolutely not disappointed.

The combination of black metal with indigenous culture only seems too loving natural, really.

It's always struck me as a little odd that there isn't more metal drawing influences from traditional American music and cultures, particularly as that's been a thing in Europe since Bathory. Or is it out there and I've just missed it somehow?

I wish other genres were as liberal with weird genres as metal is. Where's viking funk

We have that, but we also have an entire genre that consists of aping the sound of Black Sabbath. I can't think of anything comparable outside of metal.

There's also Theatre of Living Arts on South Street. They don't do a lot of metal shows but it's a good place to see up and coming acts and occasionally you can catch a name band there.

And honestly, if you're into any sort of counterculture, that part of South Street is worth a visit at least once.

Does anybody else feel like they outgrew Opeth? I used to listen to everything from Watershed back through their discography religiously, but I just have trouble enjoying the music as much as I used to. I think there are some really good tracks in there, but I just can't really do a 15 minute track the way that I used to.

Mostly, but Blackwater Park is still pretty fantastic.

No, powerwolf and sabaton are absolutely in the same subgenre. There's a clear lineage of european neoclassical stuff, trad-style uspm, german speed metal influence, prog, and modern fest-friendly anthem power metal. These are the bands that spotify thinks are similar to powerwolf:


WoodrowSkillson posted:

i like most of these bands and will never apologize, but Eluveitie is not really the same lol

"similar" here means that people who listen to Powerwolf are also likely to listen to these bands, regardless of similar musically they are. For something with a lot of listeners, you'll generally find that the similar artists actually do sound similar, but it's not a guarantee.
