I didn't see anyone mention it in the last few pages but the lead guitarist from Allegaeon and the bassist and drummer from Havok are in a fusion band and they slap extremely loving hard: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mljzdsULV8T-IZoqQlHQZohdXf7AEzroE Full album drops tomorrow and I'm super stoked. I can never have too much Nick Schendzielos in my life.

Snowy posted:I was looking up reviews of the Outer Heaven album and found this on Pitchfork: “a minute into album highlight “Rotting Stone/D.M.T.,” sublimely cheesy harmonized twin guitars soar like F-150s over a county fair” and I can’t tell if that’s creative writing or a typo. Looks like them Duke boys got themselves in a whole heap of trouble again...

Nazzadan posted:Ulthima's album from a couple years ago is probably my favorite Bodom-esque release of the last while though. You could have told me this was some sort of early 2000's Kalmah/Norther/CoB supergroup and I would have absolutely believed you. Massive They Will Return/Something Wild vibes.

Malaria posted:Childen of Bodom and Opeth are how I got into the more extreme metal. "Ghost of Perdition" is what got my partner into metal and now six months later it's all Allegaeon, First Fragment, and Archspire. It sure is a slippery slope. Also at the very first orchestra hit of Follow the Reaper she said "I'm in" and I knew I picked a winner.

The Voice of Labor posted:what do metal people have on their pedal boards? is there a certain knockoff of a 50 year old chinsy transistor distortion that instantly turns any input signal into metal? is it all eq and compression and distortion? I'm not hearing a ton of reverb or delay or rotary speaker simulation. I scrapped my pedalboard when I stopped gigging, I do everything with VSTs straight into my DAW. There are some really great free amp/cab sims out there with some fantastic high-gain sounds. Blue Cat and ML Soundlab's Amped are both great starting points. Comedy option: Boss MetalZone pedal.

Vargatron posted:Metal Archives is really dumb about djent and metalcore. They have been adamant for years that Protest the Hero is not in any way, shape, or form a metal band and therefore has not earned a spot on the pantheon, but here check out all these ambient pagan post-black metal folk acts that are just birdsong, a lute, and an 80's synth pad. That being said, their "Similar Artists" page is a loving godsend, I've found so many great bands there.

Snowy posted:Sure, but not since what, the 70s? I have conducted a investigation and discovered that Ragbroder is quite possibly the most Finnish band in the world. Athena is kinda neat, the Ska vibes are nicely integrated with some phrygian modes and rhythmic devices that make it feel a little bit middle-eastern. Also getting Estradasphere/Zorn vibes from some of the chord progressions/melodies. Modal Auxiliary fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Sep 16, 2023 |

Mr. Pickles posted:Yes, Dio was the best :'( I saw them back in '03. Motorhead opened, then Dio, then Maiden. It was a great time all around, but Dio absolutely stole the show. Dude's pipes were just insane. Live music talk: First Fragment just announced that they're playing a little hole-in-the wall in Philly in November, so I'm super loving stoked about that. Gonna be my first metal show in years. Currently debating whether or not to check out Ne Obliviscaris/Beyond Creation/The Omnific in a couple weeks. The Omnific fucks super hard, but BC never quite clicked for me (even back when Forest was on bass) and my experiences with NE were pretty similar.

World Cafe Live is dope if you want to sit and chill and generally be an old fart, Johnny Brenda's has the awesome two-floor setup, and there's always something happening at First Uni or Kung-fu Necktie. Plus every major arena tour stops there. I lived there for five years, the music scene was awesome. I'm actually driving up from Baltimore because we don't get any of the good East Coast tours here.

Mr. Pickles posted:I have 20€ Alpine earplugs, also this is not a bit I will go and see a ear doctor about this So I've been playing around with mine quite a bit (loud music, slapping the bass, cranking the television, even sleeping in them because they're comfy af) and the clarity has been pretty fantastic across the spectrum. If you're missing out on midrange and treble frequencies with these things in your hearing is well and truly hosed. Definitely see an audiologist, but probably don't expect good news. Sorry dude.

Definitely check out the aforementioned loving Champs, three and four part harmonies are their main aesthetic. I think you'd also like Brendan Small's Galaktikon, it's peppered with big fat Brian May-style harmonies throughout.

Nehru the Damaja posted:I've been real busy with obnoxious medical poo poo that's kept me from following releases as much as I'd like to the past six or so months. The new Stortregn is my favorite thing that's been posted here, sort of a progressive melodic blackened sometimes techy vibe that just ticks all the boxes for me. New Dying Fetus is fine if you're into Dying Fetus, but it's nothing special imo. New Afterbirth is bizarre af and didn't click for me but is absolutely worth a listen. Also everyone says the new Wormhole is great but I haven't checked it out because they've never really done it for me. Also heard good things about Nightmarer but haven't checked it out for similar reasons.

Appreciate the recs everyone, but it does indeed sound as though Sonata Arctica (not Unlike Bolt Thrower) just isn't for me. I'll stick with Bodom, Kalmah, and Wintersun for my keyboard-drenched neoclassical Finnish metal for now. Thanks again, though, y'all are the goddamn best.
