Best traditional doom metal album this year? Early moods?
Start with Jute Gyte
phenomenal album
Dude (Looks Like A Lady) is a possible GOAT song
troon music, not metal
yea probably that or Altar of Oblivion for me, but I'm partial to the trad fem vox like Castle Rat or Daeva esp with a pinch of stone-psych instead of heavy. Vendel on top if you include Epic though
all metal is inherently faggy: the long hair, the corpse makeup, the cringe larp lyrics. You can't just exclude one band for being more trooned than the other.
Metal.
Newfag here, can someone tell me who the fuck Hector is and why I keep hearing about him?
A guy who likes bands such as Deathspell Omega and Ad Nauseam (dissonant black and death metal bands) and advocates for intellectualism in metal. Pretty nice anon, at least compared to other retarded posters(there are many) he's articulate and reasonable. In fact he's one of the like 5 good posters overall in the last 10 years.
Only reason to come here is to laugh at all the imbeciles and maybe exchange a decent conversation once in a while with the few decent posters who seem to be absent nowdays.
we love this right?

taking stock of the year and kinda thinking 2024 got mogged by '23. always a handful of good stuff but man there's like 200 albums from last year I'd be happy to revisit. maybe a couple dozen? from this

There is nothing to do

Is this what you tell yourself as you dress as a women before getting topped on grindr?
Impaled did it better despite being a copy.
I think I prefer Parasignosis. The new one still needs more listens for me but it felt like it was a bit more disjoined to me, where there were more moments the drums/vocals kept rhythm and the guitars just kinda did whatever the fuck they wanted.
Correct
Am very impressed by what they did in the 80s. A lot of their material sounds like the kind of meloshit hardcore that came out a lot more in the 90s and 2000s.
I love Iron Maiden! Rock and Roll!
so much of a poser he doesn't even know Maiden fans say "Up the Irons"
grim
I'm new to the Iron Maiden rock music! It's coolio!
Meanwhile Judas Priest fans are like
up the ass!
Looks like AI art
No one cares about this diapershit old man.
still remember Anon Babble itself losing their shit when Lulu came out
Hardwired was meh but I really enjoyed the videos they did of them making the songs. Wish they'd have done the same with 72 Seasons
Imagine if James sung some of the lyrics

What is /metal/ opinion on Manowar?
I never heard it, and I refuse to because this guy said it was shit.
Is he right?
Soilediaperturk sucks.

well he did sing So What so that's not too much of a stretch for him
Coagulating Darkness is the only good album at this point.
How are there still people who don't know Blackie is right-wing? To do this in NY proves he's got balls made of steel that you wouldn't believe.

For me it's The Living Infinite, the only melodeath double album

easy listening death metal like Cannibal Corpse

This is good album :D
It has a couple good tracks but is otherwise very boring. Like pretty much every newer Metallica album.

back to /kpop/, tranny.
I'm new, so I don't really know what you mean by "boring". Can you name a track that you consider boring and explain it to me?
back to /kpop/, tranny.
I don't really know what you mean by "boring"
You surely understand the definition of the word. I mean that.
What a masterpiece of a band. I love them.
But u can't name a track? Lazy anon >.>
But yeah, I get what u mean.
Giant faggot no one likes here. Likes to steer discussion into his life story like a woman desperate for attention. Also likes to talk about himself in third person to give the impression anyone likes him
Correct.
This was Cynic at their peak
It's cool but I like these songs better on Focus
Their 1990 demo is good too

don't talk about black metal here during november

but it's the best time to talk about it as the norsetourists who just post entry-level tourism on loop are busy elsewhere
More like anus injection you old gay
you're describing trannypopper wtf
Maybe Hector and incelpopper are the same?
incelpopper posts about more than 3 bands
Fuck off, toxoplasmosis infected fag.
Her posts are all about herself
How do we make metal more diverse? I'm sick of all the creepy white men in the scene.
OUGH!
you don't make things more diverse by alienating people and calling them creepy
Yet somehow they talk about more bands than shekky
I love the title track so much.
>Also likes to talk about himself in third person to give the impression anyone likes him
what would happen if /kpop/ was spammed with photos and discussion of metal?
discussion of metal
We don't even get that in THIS general, let alone others
No one would notice since that thread is almost certainly bots. It's just pictures of kpop girls and maybe a comment on how cute they are.

Why are you replying to yourself, lass?
Awful chudnazi misogynist garbage!!!
I have been thinking about the metal scene of the past 5 years or so, although the decline has really been since about 2011. I think what happened is that Europeans got into electronic and other modern genres of music and the people left doing metal were Ameritards and boomers who just kept making watered down versions of their pre-2007 hits. There was some good new stuff from non-traditional metal countries as they got into it late, particularly in Eastern Europe, but in the West the scene no longer attracted young people. There is still a lot of great metal out there, but it doesn't get much attention since only metalheads listen to metal now, and it's not usually very innovative. We had constant innovation in the '90s but there's barely been a new subgenre of metal invented in the past decade, and basically no bands getting big that were founded after 2011. I don't see any way to fix it without getting young people into it and for that we probably need to be more accepting of gateway bands/genres like post-hardcore, metalcore, and deathcore. Thank you for reading.
didnt ask
lads I need more DSBM recs
Metal is past low hanging fruit innovation and is now in the process of refinement and dedication toward art instead of novelty. Your thoughts are of poor quality.
This triggers the zoomer
This is just wishful thinking. Even the best metal of the last 5 years pales in comparison to the greats of the '90s and thereabouts. Rarely in music does your theory hold true. Is modern jazz the refinement of classic '20s jazz? Is modern classical better than Beethoven and Mozart? Has anyone in the past quarter-century made Elvis but better? Music has been heavily innovation-driven since the end of the Romantic period at least (approx 1910), and arguably since the end of the Renaissance period (approx 1600). Certainly since the 1950s this has ramped up incredibly.
Even the best metal of the last 5 years pales in comparison to the greats of the '90s
Thank you baldcuck.
gateway bands/genres like post-hardcore, metalcore, and deathcore
I never understood how these are "gateway", they still have screaming and growling which generally filters normalfags. For me it was power/symphonic/folk metal.
Even the best metal of the last 5 years pales in comparison to the greats of the '90s
Thank you hirsutechad
Post-hardcore is basically radio rock with screaming which is how I got into harsh vocals. Power/symphonic/folk are also good gateways, but they are generally accepted by the metal community unlike the hardcore-based genres.
His palette looks the same as his painting
I don't like death metal. Can't stand the guttural vocals and themes of the songs.
Is that alright?
Has anyone in the past quarter-century made Elvis but better?
No.
No. Wimps and posers leave the hall!
Nah, they are definitely looked down at by most "hardcore" metalheads.
I think instead of getting coreshitters into metal, we metalheads should listen to other genres more and use them as influences. Especially non-European music.
Even the best metal of the last 5 years pales in comparison to the greats of the '90s and thereabouts
fucking lmao what a shit take
OPEN MIND FOR A DIFFERENT VIEW
they still have screaming and growling which generally filters normalfags
That's the fucking point you absolute retard.
They're accessible in other ways, and often have screaming that is less offensive to normies. The way you get someone past a filter is to make them listen to something where they like everything except the filter, which means they listen to it more and normalise the filter.
That is quite literally how I got into harsh vocals when I was originally one of those people who thought harsh vocals were "talentless shit".
Can't stand the guttural vocals
Cringe
and themes of the songs.
Based, gore and Satanism are old news.
Wimps and posers leave the hall!
Wimp and poser
Wouldn't that be the case if I said I "liked" it?

I guess it's different strokes for different folks, since I never liked coreshit, or rather wasn't interested in it in the first place, I was always a fantasy/history nerd so I was drawn to bands that sang about that, and got into harsh vocals by Amon Amarth. Besides, harsh vocals aren't the only filter, for example for me falsettos or muddy old school production were a bigger hurdle.
metalfags are born not created. for me the aggression and screaming/growling and heaviness was essential. in fact i didn't start listening to more "classic" heavy metal or anything with clean vocals until i was in my 20s.
Yeah but its the same logic. With lo-fi production in particular I got into it more by listening to bands where they did so much stuff I liked that the production stopped putting me off and I eventually learned to see the positives in it and then enjoy it.
/metal/ returns to "old good, new bad" the second hector leaves
god this place sucks
I love Nazhgor and Macabre Omen but comparing them to Darkthrone, Burzum, Enslaved, etc, is retarded.
Utterly and completely mentally dominated
Tomorrow it will be nsbm vs anti nsbm with a side of chudbait and troonbait. Welcome to nuchan "culture".
Darkthrone, Burzum, Enslaved
All shit
Yes everyone knows modern metal is a fucking joke and the genre peaked in the 90s. And frankly, I don't give a shit about innovation. All the "innovators" are responsible for turning metal into a fucking circus. And look at the bands that ushered in the sounds of the post-90s. Melodeath? Gay. Necrophagist? Gay. Dissoshit? Gay. Metal doesn't need to be refined anymore than Baroque. It's completed, it reached it's pinnacle and that's it. That's metal. We got the best of the best and now you have at best a solid imitation of the greats, at worst hipster nonsense that isn't even metal (Jute Gyte), or just the increasingly more overproduced, more formulaic, more gimmick ridden technical exercises like First Fragment or Archspire.
old good new bad is true for everything tho not just music , video games , film, music , art, and even millenials > zoomers

The Prozakian School of Thought Vs. The Hectorian School of Thought
This is amazing.
genius who has been studying and writing about metal for 30+ years Vs. some autistic RYM tourist who got into metal 2 years ago
It's fine. What metal vocals do you like?
Thank you Prozak, how is your hair, or rather lack of?
I love (shit bands)
That explains it.
At least Prozak attempts to meet halfway
Deathspell Omega:Their newest seems like a really good idea, aesthetically, and hopefully someone with an understanding of melody will take that concept and frame from it a newer type of music. Thinking along the ideas of aesthetics allows some highly creative people to make something brilliant from what was once garbage; examples are all the bands inspired by Venom, which was garbage, who nonetheless made great music by trying to sound like Venom. Darkthrone, in cloning Bathory, came up with something new and better; Burzum was in part inspired by Von, which is trivial blather, but from the concept of simple undulating riffs dropped to the lee side of the initiatory beat of a cadence, in part made something great. I think Deathspell Omega will be the same way with their newest, which is aesthetically one of the most ambitious things to come out of black metal since 1997, but still lacks some of the compositional and intellectual depth and clarity that made, for example, Emperor's "In the Nightside Eclipse," Enslaved's "Vikinglgr Veldi" and Immortal's "Pure Holocaust" so distinctive and enduring.
Looks like stolen MTG art.
Uhh... Not guttural ones? Everything else is fine.
I like roots by sepultura. And a bit of arch enemy. You guys like those?
You should listen to the earlier Sepultura albums. Just work your way back from Chaos A.D. which was right before and most similar to roots.
Thats what he said of SMCR though, which is basically just a norsecore album. His articles on the real albums afterwards are all 100% negative. Write him an email asking his thoughts on Synarchy, I guarantee the word "halfway" will never appear in your thoughts once.
Kek, makes sense ig
pozzak's lastfm proved hes a classical poser
SMCR
basically just a norsecore album
yeah. it also has that cringeass trad doom track at the end hector loves to mock
You didnt even get the acronym right, let alone the objectively false claim, so I wouldn't take anything you say other than as completely laughable

Agreed, it's my second favourite Blind Guardian album after Nightfall in Middle-Earth.

I hate my wife metal
Prozak calls anything he dislikes pop, jazz, numetal, or metalcore. Pretty sure he uses all four in that same review.

Jute Gyte – Perdurance (2016)
Schizophrenic musical ideas and noises thrown at a fucking wall and pretending to be metal music. This is not metal music. This is attempted atonal technical noise rock that fails miserably at being rock. Jute Gyte is meant to appeal only to art fats who finger their assholes to modern art and taste it afterwards as they’re developmentally disabled and nobody ever told them that their fingerpainting sucked as they didn’t want Jute Gyte to throw a fit and fling the paint all over the room. Bring the straight jackets.
