Morbid Florist posted:If it wasn't for slayer, half of the last 30 years wouldn't have happened. I don't think it's fair to say one band is responsible for innovation all the time (or half the time). Look at the Gothenburg movement. In Flames, At the Gates, etc. released similar albums in the same year. The late 80's was ripe for thrash change-up. Reign in Blood is my favorite Slayer album, and speaking of In Flames, Slayer got worse in their later albums too! South of Heaven is eternally badass though.

Vintersorg posted:Holy gently caress that video makes me so angry. All I can picture is a bunch of fat shits in dragon shirts thinking "omg this is so epic dude!". gently caress that genre of metal. Ah yes, I much prefer the original fashion stylings of Varg et al. Seems like there's more hate on SA for modern symphonic than any other kind of new(ish) metal. Is it because they're more likely to look like White Wolf cosplayers or am I just missing the true cvltness of the black metal thread?

Well if we're talking about swole metal, Powerman 5000 (Rob Zombie's younger brother) started recording a new album in February.Nordick posted:Korpiklaani are boring as gently caress and can't hold a candle to Ensiferum. While Ensiferum certainly don't have a flawless track record, I still quite like them. I actually enjoy the more peaceful, melancholic overall feel of the latest album. The further back in Einsferum's discography you go, the better. Turasis pulls off the battle folk cred better. DeusExMachinima fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Apr 13, 2013 |

Coulrophobia posted:I sincerely apologize if I just gave anyone here the impression that I actually like Nightwish. I just found it notable that they put out a listenable track and it was a lounge song. This song? Their latest album was better than Dark Passion Play because there was less "OH NO POOR TOMAS"  but it's hilarious they lost another singer and now have the girl from After Forever. Once is still one of the best symphonic metal albums of all time, but now Nightwish is amazing dramatainment.

Measly Twerp posted:Yes, like Slipknot I meant in terms of origin story, not genre. Slipknot's first demo was based on/named after Werewolf the Apocalypse, so check for having unforgivable uncool dorkiness in common. "Metal something of metal" sure is a song title born on reddit and memebase. At least Slipknot dodged that idiotic bullet by getting started in the 90's.

"The Seven Seas were obviously not expansive enough for Captain Chris Bowes and his crew, as their third raid in the quest for booty takes them "Back Through Time". The Scottish buccaneers battle not only narrow-minded landlubbers and enemy privateers, but also foul-tempered Vikings! "

IRQ posted:At least recommend Nightwish from before they turned into hot garbage. Once is the point where you should pretend the band died in a plane crash. The only upside to that not having happened is that Floor Janson gets a paycheck before hopefully moving on to a band worthy of her talent. Funny, I pretend Tomas went through with his emo bullshit and threw himself off a cliff after Once. It united the different styles they'd been trying in other albums (epic/heroic in Oceanborn/Wishmaster, dark in Century Child, etc.) and made them work.

I'm following Chip & Ironicus' LP of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (it's a real word). One of the boss battles had a piece that reminds me of older Dragonforce songs, back when they were half-tolerable. Actually, most of the boss songs in the game are pretty metal so far.

This is definitely metal hell territory, but if you want more retro-cheese that you can still rock out to... Cauldron owns. I've just had them on repeat at work lately. e: quote:Okay, those female vocals are the best I've ever heard in metal. Is she on every track? Sadly nope! I've googled high and low but it looks like Leonna Aho hasn't done anything since. Maybe Battlelore will be close enough female vocals wise, it's still power metal but quite different than Imperanon.
