Henchman of Santa posted:Orphaned Land - Mabool Not quite as great, but OrWarriOr was also really great. Also Savatage's Streets: a Rock Opera, and if you're into "post-black"/"black-gaze"/"ambient black metal" or whatever the gently caress people are calling it these days, any album by WitTR or Alcest really.

Korpiklaani is fun but yeah, I'd love to see Primordial or Tyr on there. I guess Eluviete is too big now? (in stature or in number of band members?  )Or Skyclad but that'll never happen.

Houseplant posted:Elu is shedding band members left and right so we'll have to see what they actually end up doing, but as for Paganfest. I saw Primordial during one of the US Paganfests and I just wanted them to play a four hour set. gently caress every other band on that lineup, just keep Primordial on. I would pay quite a bit for a show that was just Primordial. I had tickets to that loving tour of Paganfest too, but I bought them before I knew I had a 9am exam the next day so I missed it, and I am still pissed at myself for not going. Didn't know Eluveite was dropping members, hopefully they can find someone among the 4 hurdy-gurdy players left on earth to move on.

Fingers McGee posted:Amon Amarth show was canceled tonight, son of a bitch. Its like in 87 when I had tickets to the and justice tour, was going to be my first concert. We got over a foot of snow and my ride didn't want to drive the 2 hours in it. Only today its a half inch of sorta snow/ice. We must look like ridiculous pussies to the Swedes/Norwegians. You look like ridiculous pussies to DC. No need to get into Scandinavia.

Sab669 posted:Sonata Arctica put up a song off their new album out later next month; Has anyone really not given up on them yet? Woolie Wool posted:I really don't understand why anyone ever listened to this band when Stratovarius did the same thing much better but their early stuff was never this terrible. Sratovarious is boring as poo poo, at least Sonata's early stuff was good. There's no good reason to listen to anything Unia and after though.

rxcowboy posted:In other news my son destroyed my headphones and I need a new pair. Is there anything good for under 150 that metal sounds good on ? Since I listen on my iPhone I'm looking at a Koss Portapro or Sennheiser PX100-ii. I've had a pair of Grado SR60s for like 8 years and they're still great. I'm sure they have an updated model.

Skilleddk posted: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 Amon Amarth has already been mentioned, but I think Symphony X fits the bill too.

Martout posted:As for lyrical content, if the lyrics are good? Great! If not, I basically just think of the vocals as added percussion. Metal lyrics are often enough incomprehensible within certain genres or are in another language to the point that I think it'd be hard to be really into it if you weren't able to view vocals as another instrument. That said, can I overlook really really lame lyrics? After Forever's Invisible Circles is a good album in my opinion, so yes times a thousand. That album is downright embarrassingly silly in its lyrical content.

Sylink posted:Saw Dream Theater Tuesday night in D.C. A great show and the band really looks like they are having a good time since Portnoy left. And they played Space Dye Vest live which apparently loving owns. Oh man, I wish I knew about that, wasn't poor, and wasn't dead sick on Tuesday. They have never played Space Dye Vest live that I know of. Also I should probably listen to that album they put out like a year ago.

skudmunky posted:I would see Dream Theater again if I knew they were going to play Space Dye Vest. Is this the first time they've played it live with Rudess? I know of once prior to this tour (which I know nothing about, it might be a regular thing now) that any of them have played it, and it was Rudess and LaBrie in a bootleg video at some bar years ago. Until now the official line was that it was so much Moore's song that they didn't feel right playing it. Maybe that was Portnoy's thing so it's back on the table? I dunno, I just want to hear that song live; always have loved it.

Non Serviam posted:That's not it either. He's saying (and I disagree with him) that a big chunk of metal glorifies evil and that it can be a moral disease. It isn't so much against metal, but rather against the way in which the scene has been shaped. This is like seeing that Gaahl "...Satan" video and not cracking up. Some people just take the schtick too seriously. There are some hosed up people in metal, but I really don't think the "evil" imagery is the root of that. hail satan

Fenrir posted:I must be weird, then. The only Linkin Park album I could ever listen to was Thousand Suns, and... poo poo I still like a good bit of that one. If you're talking about the ~crawling in my skiiiiin~ one (which I'm guessing you and a few of the others who have posted about it are), I guess I was just too old for that or something. I was in high school when it came out. I still say it's a very catchy cd. I don't think I listened to their follow-up as I discovered metal shortly thereafter.
