Most bands who become extremely popular tour a lot. They see what music crowds respond to live and write more music like that. This generally means catchier, pop-like stuff, sing-along choruses, and bouncy grooves. They get feedback that this is good in the form of a good response from a growing audience. This still doesn't fully explain how In Flames went from having 3-4 guitar parts as the centerpiece of the music to trying to make a vocal-driven hard rock album with Anders Friden fronting the band.  For posterity, here's some generic American melodeath from 2002. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rIo0Y22myA

I saw Gojira last night and they were loving awesome. Heaviest band I've ever seen. Flying Whales was just devastating. Tonight I have Amon Amarth\Gwar. Tomorrow I'm seeing Clutch and then Friday I'm going to the Soundwave festival. This is a freaking awesome week, but gently caress it's going to hurt.

Gojira in August 2012 was the sweatiest show I've ever been to. Got tossed around like a ragdoll during Backbone.

I saw Gojira on the recent tour with Slayer and they were amazing. Really looking forward to seeing them with Mastodon (!) in May.

This poster loves police brutality, but only when its against minorities!

Besides Colony and Clayman, R2R and Soundtrack had maybe 2 or 3 good songs but Come Clarity really sucked rear end, it's just best not to bother with their recent work.

Came out of lurking to see if anyone had mentioned the new Woods of Desolation album and I can't find anything. I can't recommend it enough. For lovers of atmospheric black metal with amazing melodies and post-rock influences. The cover art says it all. STREAMING HERE: https://woodsofdesolation.bandcamp.com/

There's been some chat about the album in the Black Metal thread, it's pretty good, but I don't like it as much as Torn Beyond Reason. I saw Exhumed last night and it was a hell of a lot of fun. Ended up at the bar during Toxic Holocaust though.

It was awesome to see a band live that I used to listen to ages ago. I don't think I heard any of their stuff after Slaughtercult, but hearing Limb from Limb live made my night.

Holy crap Malevolent Creation have released 11 albums. I honestly can't think of another death metal act that have maintained such a level of utter mediocrity for such a long period of time other than maybe Cannibal Corpse and Rogga

het posted:I dunno, I don't exactly dislike this sort of thing but the aesthetic often seems kinda confused to me. Like melodically I wouldn't really call it black metal, and I think some of the aspects they retain from black metal (specifically the vocals) don't fit very well. While Alcest's recent stuff isn't necessarily my favorite, I like that it at least sounds aesthetically coherent, they're okay just making tremolo-picked post rock and not having these out-of-place black metal vocals. It's no coincidence that the most interesting song on that Woods of Desolation album is instrumental. Haha the weird combination of aesthetic is appealing to me. I don't know how it would work with clean vocals, I think it would be too cheesy? I do like the instrumentals but I prefer the songs with vocals. I guess this is a love it or hate it album for some. Can you recommend me any good Alcest to start with? I've never actually heard any of it!

I mean, yeah, it's a "weird" combination, in the sense that it strikes me as too on-the-nose about it. Like "gosh, you made pretty music and then screamed unpleasantly about it, what an inspired artistic decision", you know? I mean, that's overly reductive but I think it's really easy for this kind of thing to sound kinda lazy and uninspired. quote:Can you recommend me any good Alcest to start with?

To find it I go, I saw Exhumed almost ten years ago, they were pretty good back then also from memory. It's good to see a band play a live show and live up to expectation!

There's some weird post-rock and hardcore vibes to this that work way better than they usually do in this kind of stuff. Cool stuff.

This should be pretty easy, I need some new gym music and all kinds of metal fit well with me. Favorites right now are Soilwork, In Flames, Atreyu, Cradle of Filth, Children of Bodom... I know there's more similar bands out there, can anyone help out? I guess the pattern is heavy riffs between melodic choruses

I guess the pattern is heavy riffs between melodic choruses Candiria is a horrible nu metal lifting guilty pleasure of mine. I know it's lame, I don't care, it picks stuff up and puts it down. Slaughter of the soul by At the Gates. Listen to the latest Mors Principium Est if you want to be able to look in the mirror when you're done, its melodeath but good. Also get swamplord by Kalmah. Pretty much required for a fan of melodeath like yourself. Pig Destroyer if you're in the gym after a particularly nasty break up.

Was just typing this before I scrolled back and saw you beat me to it  Kumbamontu's list is also good, but if I was gonna recommend an All That Remains album for lifting it would be Overcome. Also, it's not melodeath but for heavy riffs and melodic choruses, get yourself some Fear Factory man. Start with like, Demanufacture or The Industrialist. They've been my favorite workout band since the 90s. Fenrir fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Feb 28, 2014 |
