Sup metal thread, been lurking or passing through here for years and years, never bothered posting much as I was not into finding new music as much then. Lately I've been on a revival of sorts after going to a bunch of shows again for the first time in years. Over the past few years I ahve gotten really into folk metal, and with the thread seeming to be on the topic for the last few weeks, figured now was a good time to get some recommendations. I really like Eluvietie, Ensiferum, Wintersun, and got into Arkona afer seeing them live with Turisas, amazing loving show. Korpiklanni is cool but never really got me hooked. Tyr also is pretty badass. I think I saw Elvenking mentioned in here a few pages back and am going to check them out. Are there any other quality bands similar to Ensiferum/Wintersun out there? Bonus points for good female lead singers, since I always enjoy that kind of voice in metal. On the Mayhemfest topic, I just saw Maiden on the 18th and Mayhem on the 22nd, so it was a good week. Slayer, Anthrax, and Motorhead are still awesome live, and I embarassed myself by still remembering all of the words to stuff by Slipknot made before 2004. Also I thought it would be a great idea to join in the Slayer pit on the lawn on a hill, almost hosed my knee up bad, alcohol is a hell of a drug. I blame booze for singing along to Slipknot as well.

Weaponized Cum posted:I was gonna go to the Ft.Lauderdale show today, but it starts at 2pm. What kind of loving rear end in a top hat organized that? 2pm? People don't have jobs? Not ever metal fan works at Jamba Juice. Employed people are not exactly the largest segment of the concert going metal fanbase.

Not Very Metal posted:Also people don't want to get stabbed if they go to Harpo's which isn't helping the turnout either. Now bands are booking places the Magic Stick/Majestic/St. Andrews, which hold even less. It's like a big poo poo whirlpool that we can't escape.

KozmoNaut posted:Agreed on all counts. Chrigel from Eluvietie is the same way. He seems to run the band as a tyrant, however he also does a giant amount of the actual composition and has let the other vocalists shine constantly so hes not just like greedily hoarding the creative work. It's his baby and hes not going to change. Whenever I've met him at a show he's always been a super nice dude. Hell Bob Ross was called a tyrant, not cause he was mean, but because he knew what he wanted and was not interested in changing it.

Eluvietie may be up there now after replacing half the band again in 2015 or whenever the 3 that make up Cellar Darling left.

Negrostrike posted:AFAIK it was Phil who was willing to reunite and Vincent was all like "no loving way". Phil tried to make amends, even after being banned from Dimebags funeral. afaik vinne never denied it or called him a liar about that. Vinne was extremely bitter and never let it go and Phil is a loving rear end in a top hat so I'm certain he was not helping. A tiny part of me had still hoped we would someday ysee Pantera songs played again with other guitarists like some other memorial shows have done.

The Kins posted:Probably didn't help, to be fair. Eh, they way they said goodbye after the show I was at was way different than any other slayer show I've seen. Tom wandered around the stage for like 5 full minutes just soaking it in and waving at people and poo poo. Definitely made it feel genuine.

Kilometers Davis posted:I can’t hate on Slipknot at all, it just feels wrong considering how important they were to me when that self titled album got into my hands when I was 9 or 10. yep, i still remember the day Iowa released, i went and bought it from best buy, put it in my car, and the into played and i was like "oh god no" and literally as i pulled out of the lot the riff to people = poo poo started and i had this giant smile on my face the rest of the day.

Pantera was my first true favorite metal band and they are loving great. I 100% get them not being your thing, but people who say they are terrible just come off as a fart huffing snobs.

Today on the Jason Ellis show on sirius they played a game where they had to guess if lines were from a five finger death punch song or a pro wrestling promo. It was pretty goddamn hard and also funny cause goddamn they suck rear end.
