Kvlt! posted:I like how King Ov Hell went from being in one of the most "evil"-looking wall of sound-pure-distilled-misanthropy-and-Satanism bands to being in a band with the goofiest, silliest dude in the black metal scene, if not the whole metal scene. It's a really thin line to be fair.

Did anyone like BTBAM's latest? I don't mind the lack of heaviness at all but it just seemed kind of boring and poorly written.

P2 is my favourite, but I like them all since Alaska except coma eclipse which I've listened through 6 times without anything sticking. Good to see other people like it though, hopefully I'll like the next one more.

From Petrucci's AMA: "On the album the story is focused more on the human characters and their struggles, however the NOMAC story will be explored further in future novelization." Who's excited for a Dream Theater novel?!

I thought Vertikal was great, in part because it was doing something different from straight up Isis worship, but then nothing between that and Salvation really grabbed me because it sounded too much like a not as good Isis to me. Excited for the new album anyway Edit: I also always had an inexplicable fondness for Sleep off their first album, it could use editing down but the climax gets me every time. il_cornuto fucked around with this message at 13:25 on Feb 17, 2016 |

Thanks to whoever mentioned Dead Congregation, their latest album is incredible. It's also probably the heaviest album I've enjoyed this much (barring different types of heaviness like doom or whatever). Any recommendations for similar stuff?

Vargatron posted:Then again, I don't think any band would be like "we've just released our best album that we're going to make, we should get out while we're on top". Gotta ride that wave as long as it lasts. Whether Isis' last album was their best is debatable (I prefer Panopticon) but they quit while they were still making amazing music, specifically because they'd agreed when they formed the band to split before they ran out of ideas.

Speaking of bands that should have quit, I just listened to Cryptopsy's None So Vile for the first time and it blew me away, but I hear their later stuff sucked?

Once I've started to digest None So Vile I'll give their live album and Whispers a try at least.

I drive a BBW posted:Anyone have a recommendation for Prog DM? Looking for something similar to Opeth and Anciients. I tried Edge of Sanity's Crimson album and it didn't do anything for me. Katatonia's The Fall of Hearts seemed decent. As well as Haken, Ne Obliviscaris and Ihsahn's latest might be worth a try. Edit: if you haven't tried Between the Buried and Me or maudlin of the Well they're a bit proggier but good too. il_cornuto fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Oct 4, 2016 |

Hulk Krogan posted:This is the best Alcest album by quite a bit, IMO. I just got round to checking out various best of 2016 lists and I don't think I've seen Inquisition's Bloodshed... on any of them, which proves they're all trash because that was my #1 metal album last year. I barely saw my #2, Wormrot's Voices, either. I guess I could be the one with bad taste but that seems wrong. Edit: They did introduce me to a few things I hadn't heard though, like Zhrine's Unortheta which sounds great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1AKVqQ0dvg il_cornuto fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Jan 20, 2017 |

I thought Cult of Luna's Vertikal was where they really came into their own, with Mariner also being very good. Their debut was actually pretty interesting as well, it was the second album on that really sounded like not quite as good Isis to me.

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.

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.

Cardiac posted: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. 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.

Van Dis posted:Babymetal loving owns actually, partly for the music and partly for how insecure they make a lot of metalheads. It is categorically hilarious how many burly dudes get so angry and start to adjudicate genre boundaries in a desperate attempt to close off their pet genre to Japanese teen girls. Agreed, they're not a band I listen to for the same reasons as most metal, but their live stuff is really good and fun when I want something upbeat. Their belief in metal as a unifying force and willingness to experiment makes them far more worthy of respect than any NSBM band too. Are there any good left wing or anti-nazi metal bands apart from Napalm Death and Bolt Thrower?

I love bass when it's well used in metal, especially if it's a little melodic. Here's a few I really like: Isis have some great bass, check out 4:46 in In Fiction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sopiG1Qhlh8 or 3:52 in Backlit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDi5L56cx9Y Ne Obliviscaris have their bass mixed a little low considering how good it is, like at 2:55 in Xenoflux https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wa4zqBwPVE Cryptopsy obviously have insane bass, see the entirety of None so Vile https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3JeaBoBU-c Aosoth is a little simpler but the bass sound in Arrow In Heart is great, and there's cool moments like from 5:10 in the title track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDi5L56cx9Y and Opeth might get a mixed reaction, but the bass plays a huge part in making The Drapery Falls great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wa4zqBwPVE That's just off the top of my head, I'm sure I'm missing some great stuff. Edit: Wait, can't talk about bass without mentioning Bolt Thrower https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv9OeZmFuZw and their spiritual successors Korn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emNahB_96JY il_cornuto fucked around with this message at 12:35 on Sep 6, 2017 |

I'd like to make it clear to the serious metal fans that I haven't intentionally listened to Korn in over a decade. I didn't even listen to the link I posted! I also wasn't that into them even when I was a nu metal liking teenager, I thought their albums were really inconsistent. Seriously though I don't care if people still like Korn but I was hoping for someone to post more metal with good bass in the style of the other bands.
