I thought the new vikings show needed less AWOLnation and more Amon Amarth, so I made this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkmOr43Qkv8

Parallels has been my introduction to Fates Warning. Why is this album so hated amongst the collective prog-metal community? I happen to think it's quite good. Any other recommendations in this vein?

I was always under the impression that Dream Theater came along at around the same time, and just did all the same stuff better. Parallels is solid enough, and well written, but it wasn't as impressive as some other efforts at the time.

So Brutal Legend coming out on the PC version has gotten me interested in plumbing deep into heavy metal music - to understand it a hell of a lot deeper than before. I was one of those kids who never got into metal music, and was kind of scared of the kids who were even though I kind of admired them. (Which was later replaced by contempt when I started to see mainstream metal as boring and overwrought.) Anyway, I love the feeling I get whenever I find a particular song that I just have to listen to over and over again. It may be a song I've heard before in classic rock before that I'm merely now much more receptive to, or it may be a new one. Today, this song kicked me into repeated listens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2wzpfPFBlw Anyway, the reason I'm asking about this is because I'm an artist, and good music is my muse. I got some great results today with that song in particular helping to drive my drawing, and so I'd like to see if I can find other metal songs that might send my cerebellum into overdrive. Here's a kid punching a dragon:

Well, I happen to like my metal overwrought (but not boring), so my usual suggestions probably won't help. So, I'm just going to recommend this. Which should inspire.... Something.

Listen to the rest of Painkiller. Then start at the beginning of Priest's discog and work your way back up to it (or just listen to Unleashed in the East a hundred times). If that isn't something that sounds enticing, then check out Virgin Steele, Manilla Road (the best band on the planet), and Pagan Altar.

The new Wormed album is fantastic. About time too considering Planisphaerium came out 10 years ago.

A little late to the Mongol bandwagon, but I'd throw Altan Urag into there as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es3H12_gY_8. A little off the wall, but still good.

All the other suggestions in the thread so far have been pretty spot on but in the vein of traditional/progressive metal I'm surprised 'Awaken the Guardian' by Fates Warning hasn't been mentioned. Almost any of the Running Wild albums (specifically 'Under Jolly Roger' through to 'The Rivalry') are some of the best heavy/speed metal ever written.

I haven't listened to the metal melodies of Soilwork (or melodic death metal for that matter) since they released Figure Number Five in 2003 or 2004? I'm gonna get in the old time machine and listen to their new album after hearing some praises. Has anyone else gave it a go?

I have fond memories of both Natural Born Chaos and Figure Number Five. I bailed after that. I made two impulse purchases from iTunes yesterday. The new Soilwork and the new Hatchet. We'll see...

That's the last time I gave them a listen, aside from realizing they'd never come back after Figure Number Five. NBC was good at the time but...meh. I'm going to wait and see what more people have to say before I risk the new one.

The new one is on Spotify if you're hesitant to plunk down cash. I haven't been able to get into any of their albums after Natural Born Chaos, but I think this one is pretty solid, if that tells anybody anything. Kind of takes the good bits of Panic Broadcast and ditches the excessively cheesy clean vocal melodies in favor of more NBC-style ones. I realize the choruses on Chaos can be bit cheeseball too, but some of the ones on Panic Broadcast made the songs sound like metal covers of Katy Perry songs. In other news, has anyone else grabbed that Howling album? I've been listening to it almost nonstop. Thrashy traditional heavy metal with death metal vocals and songs about horror movies. Really old-school but awesome sounding production, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgQzKClLW8Y Hulk Krogan fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Mar 6, 2013 |

I was really surprised at the variety of songs and how solid the songwriting was. Seems like these days it's really common to hear a cool song, then check out the album and find out the rest of the tracks sound exactly the same, but not here. Plus, the album art owns.

Actually I think the production is a large part of why. It's missing that "razorback sound" that Acid Witch, Revolting, Horrific and Hooded Menace have, but I don't know enough about production to say what those all have that this misses. The cover's loving cool though. I do love Razorback
