Nazi's have the right to make music, labels have the right to publish it or not, people have the right to not give money to labels that give money to nazis. Seems fine to me. Though the amount of racism in metal does make me want to vomit as well, sometimes.

Things are getting more and more ridiculous and out of hand. I try to stay away from commenting all this idiocy and just concentrate on SATAN and BLASPHEMY but GIVE ME A loving BREAK HERE! Attacking Hells Headbangers is an attack to all self respecting (Black) Metal people out there and a stand has to be made! I won't copy the link here to prevent those cunts getting more clicks but you have probably read the news already. BLACK METAL is about HATE, DESECRATION and VIOLENCE! If you can't deal with it go listen to loving Nickelfuck! I want to see Black Metal dangerous again and if not dangerous per se at least not publicly accepted because the themes it carries within it should be anything but acceptable for a normal society. And that has been the very essence of Black Metal from the beginning. The "grown up" Norwegian BM legends and other fucks who have turned it into a plain musical genre don't know poo poo. Hail the underground, HAIL TRUE BLACK METAL, HAIL SATAN!

Is Arch Enemy actually some kind of ongoing experiment to make the most boring metal possible? In a way they were a stepping stone for me to get into heavier metal, Burning Angel was on a free CD I got and it was the first song I liked with no clean vocals, but even with that in their favour I just can't enjoy anything else they've done.

Even at their peak they were a pretty unremarkable band. If you're a Michael Amott freak for some reason he's been in at least three better bands.

Eagle Pose? More like Camel Toe :eyepop:

I remember a time when I liked old Arch Enemy ( pre-sex pot lead singers ) but it feels to me like every single song is the same. I mean EVERY SINGLE song, sounds identical to the last. I can't imagine suffering through a whole album, I couldn't even make it through this whole song. The weird thing is it's not really BAD, it has elements that should make it good, but since the riffs sound the same as they did 20 years ago it's just painful, and the obvious pandering to people who wouldn't give a gently caress about them if their lead singer wasn't hot leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It doesn't help that Alyssa's vocals are so monotone, I think she has a good range in general so loving use it. Just like with Loomis, what a waste.

I get this impression that Amott is weird and controlling as gently caress too, I remember when Alyssa was first brought on, and they did like the first interview with her and Michael talking about the change, and everything she said was super scripted and they would pan to him and you could see him boring his eyes into her making sure she didn't gently caress up and say something wrong.

He was not a good singer and they pretty egregiously ripped off other bands' riffs (Blue Öyster Cult, Ozzy Osbourne) during that period, but it's the only time they didn't suck

There is going to be a new The Chasm album this year and there are some samples of it here: https://luxinframundisproductions.bandcamp.com/album/a-conscious-creation-from-the-isolated-domain-sampler

it's not really grabbing me immediately like a lot of the older stuff does but it's not bad either.

What are some good new releases in prog (aside from King Goat and Persefone), thrash (aside from Running Death, Prayers of Sanity, and Lethal Shock), and experimental metal? Specifically I'm looking for bands that don't use death growl vocals. Both albums and EPs are fine.

Some of these are more prog-rock than prog-metal, but Soen (they only mostly sound like Tool now!), Voyager, or Disperse.

If you can stand something a bit lighter, Leprous' new album just dropped.

And yeah, Arch Enemy are so ridiculously repetitive its insane. That song was incredibly hard to get through.

The new Manilla Road album, To Kill a King, is pretty windy and ong-winded and proggy, if you're into old-school heavy metal riffs as well. And in the same vein (as in same guitarist/vocalist), the new Hellwell, Behind the Demon's Eyes.

For thrash, Urn and Antichrist.

One thing the article omits is the huge amount of hard left-wing bands HHR distributes, too. When Rotten UK played HHB3 the vocalist even made a mention that even though they're playing with a lot of bands with openly fascist ideals, RUK does not stand for that nonsense.

For instance, I even just got an e-mail from them today saying they restocked a ton of Agathocles titles, too.

Cringey lyrics in metal, oh my.

I miss Angela, the new singer don't have the same width of expression as she did. Arch Enemy have made some legit good records, which I guess doesn't jive with this thread where half the point is hating everything successful in metal, discuss extremely unknown death/black metal bands in an effort to gather nerd points and finishing every discussion with Bolt Thrower.

In other news, been listening to Decapitateds latest Anti-Cult and it is like listening to The Haunted under Marco Aro i.e. pretty loving great.
How are their earlier records?

I like plenty of successful/popular stuff, Arch Enemy are just very boring in my opinion. A lot of this thread's posters' tastes do run towards the more extreme end of metal, which is obviously going to be less mainstream, but there are plenty of fans of more popular bands - Mastadon, Devin Townsend and Deathklok all have their fans in here for example. Not to mention successful classic bands - sure, people might hate Metallica now but Death, Napalm Death and Darkthrone for example are all held in high regard, and they are hardly "extremely unkown". Hating things just because they are successful is stupid but so is assuming that people are only pretending not to like them.

A lot of the most commercially successful metal bands are very bad, and plenty of the black/death bands discussed in here are well known to people who like that kind of metal. If a really obscure band gets posted, then that's usually because someone thinks it's good and wants to share it.

When I read that I immediately got the inference that Loomis would write stuff that both might not fit with the Arch Enemy sound, and Amott definitely wouldn't be able to play it because his only claim to fame should be "Heartwork" (which lets be honest, is pretty god drat boring).

Heartwork is great and more importantly he was part of Necroticism.
