Vintersorg posted:What kind of metal do you listen to? The poo poo makes you want to go crazy, no need for drugs or pent up energy. It sounds gay but most of the stuff I listen too just unleashes something inside that no other genre can create. Tears. I wish Iced Earth still put out material to this caliber. Night of the Stormrider and Burnt Offerings are two of my all time favorite metal albums.

My dad played nothing but blues and the Nuge when I was growing up, so it's no surprise that I'm into metal. I think I listened to thrash metal exclusively in middle school and prog metal in high school.

I've been going through some of the older albums in my collection and I happened to give Origin by Borknagar another spin. Though not strictly a "metal" release, it's a pretty amazing showcase of the versatility of the band. Here's a pretty cool reworking of Oceans Rise from their 1998 album, The Archaic Course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXLGZAHHUvc

I feel the need to post a track of Hall of the Mountain King by Savatage because it is such a good loving album and I have had it on loop for the past week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4g_nosgrTI I can only imagine if Cris Oliva was still alive and Jon Oliva wasn't morbidly obese.

I recently got Pleasure to Kill by Kreator because I've heard that it was one of the foundational albums for death metal, but I just cannot find myself able to like the drumming. I mean the riffs are pretty killer but I mean drat the hi hat work is so loving off time on the blast beats (were there even blast beats back in the mid 80s?). Is there any other album I should check out other than Pleasure to Kill that would give me a better taste of the group as a whole?

All this talk about Varg is very confusing to me. I didn't know I was planning a Brevik style massacre! Anybody heard anything about a new Necrophagist album? I've been listening to them lately and I realized it's been nearly ten years since Epitaph was released.

I know I'm probably in the minority, but I think that Ghost Reveries was Opeth's best album (even over Blackwater Park). I felt like it was the perfect fusion of Mikael's death metal and prog rock tendencies and it also had the best production values of any album, especially in the drum department. I wish they would do another death metal album, but if they're not writing the songs to be in a death metal vein, then I'd rather they stick with prog rock instead of trying to write something forced. I don't think that Opeth is a spent entity or anything, but we're starting to feel the impact of losing Lopez and Lindgren. Mikael may have been the principal songwriter, but Martin and Peter definitely left their marks on the albums that they were on.

Henchman of Santa posted:All this Opeth talk raises a question: are there any bands who got noticeably heavier or more aggressive over the course of their careers? I guess Opeth's most purely death metal album came six albums in, but then they went in the opposite direction. Otherwise the only example I can think of is, uh...Dream Theater. The only other band I can think of is Pantera.

Misogynist posted:I dunno. Iced Earth is such a weird band because they have an awful lot of good material spanning their 25 years or whatever, but since Stormrider they can't seem to figure out how to release an album with more than three or four songs that anybody would deliberately listen to. For every "The Coming Curse" or "Dracula" you get three "Consequences" and "Ghost of Freedom." Honestly Burnt Offerings was the last album from Iced Earth that was solid all the way through. It doesn't help that the band can't keep a stable lineup for more than one album.

Images and Words, Awake and Scenes from a Memory are basically the holy trinity when it comes to Dream Theater (I actually really liked Octavarium, but some folks will disagree with me). Also, do yourself a favor and listen to Holographic Universe by Scar Symmetry. It's probably one of the best proggy melodeath records I've heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVxkNFIxnl4
