/metal/

funiest thing is how lemmy was an out of touch with reality retard. Truly baffling.

is this on slsk yet

sure

so the edition that was made properly with an album cover, the previous edition and the faq got deleted

yeah, but the OP wasn't a janny

I've been trying to get into metal lately. I like a lot of heavier/noisy music, but it's been hard for me to find metal that interests me desu.

These are my top 10 favorite albums of all time.

I think Black Sabbath, Death, Voivod, Celtic Frost, Pentagram, Slayer, Motorhead, and Melvins are all at least okay. But I'm not really in love with any of them.

Does anyone have any recs?

For some reason I thought he had become extremely obese.

hey it actually is i thought you were joshing me

it's also on metalarea and probably most similar places

that hand

that wrist

Playing music like this requires onions precision.

BLAST

wintersun jari and the ballad of no refunds

If you like Discharge that much, try this

youtu.be/fbGSoUPf5p8?si=Vm8mqLqyDntZR-eY

don't ask the diaper fetishists difficult questions, it's mentally taxing for them

been more inte grind and hardcore lately.

Sulfuric cautery are unmathced in goregrind. Might be the only band except carcass of substance desu

recs??

carcass fucking sucks

BLASTING

but enough about Rob Halford

First album was so good. 10/10
everything since has just.. not delivered. It's had potential but mostly failed in production being too muddy cause he's trying to layer too much at once, and he tries to pad out 4 songs with a bunch of filler to make an album.

It's a real shame. He's talented it's just not panning out.

hot fucking take

I already knew trans women could make great metal, but I didn't know they could make great slam too

Wintersun's first album was already overproduced soulless robotic slop that sounded like it was AI generated a decade before AI could generate music, purely mechanical with 0 emotion

You sound like a man emulating a woman.

I emulated on your mom's face yesterday
Wintersun sucks, simple as

You can grow your hair out and cut your cock and balls off. You'll still just be a man emulating a woman.

nah you dont get it jari just needs a second sauna to really nail it down this time

OPEN...
THE STARGATE
seriously, how is this band so good? fucking epic

necroticism mogs the rest of their discography so easily and it's not even funny. fans are hilarious to me too, they're either grindcore edgelords, or melodeath heartwork faggots, nobody likes necroticism baka

Wintersun's first album was great. It was so good he just can't top it.

Thanks for reminding me of that, holy fucking kek
I was talking purely about the music but I forgot the whole wankery behind the scenes

I love Necroticism but I also love Heartwork and Symphonies of Sickness.
Like all 3 are genius albums to me.

The latest album has a song that was written for the first album, exept overproduced. Here's the original raw demo without 1000 layers of orchestration.
youtube.com/watch?v=ZzNjK_QeHTQ

Iron Maiden - Powerslave

Morbid Angel - Blessed are the sick

Decapitated - Wind of Creation

Symphony X - The Divine Wings of Tragedy

Pantera - Far Beyond Driven

Galneryus - Angel of Salvation

Adagio - Underworld

Nokturnal Mortum - Lunar Poetry

Cannibal Corpse - The Bleeding

X Japan - The art of life

Most of those are entry level classics, some are more advanced. If nothing clicks, that's a skill issue on your end

someone did the finances and for the cost he “spent” on his “super computer “ to run his MIDI instruments he couldve rented an orchestra and production company to play the parts live lmao

not surprising.
I mean the self titled was pretty professionally produced, but everything since he's tried to do too much and it comes across so muddy and shit.

less is more in some cases.

stop posting this faggot in my /metal/. he doesn't deserve it since he ripped off literally EVERYONE. from ac-dc to fucking nightwish

Wintersun's first album was so close to being great. The main riff from sleeping stars is haunting, but overproducing the track and letting it drag on from too long almost ruins it. The band Whispered has this exact same issue imo youtube.com/watch?v=cHQORyaQ2kA

Beer and Exciter. Can't get any better than that!

He never grew out of his beer phase

Better late than never, but there's no shot for some people

yeah, at some point you gotta switch to whiskey

at some point you gotta switch to whiskey

For me it's around 9pm.

for me, i need at least 2 shots of something before i feel anything. i can't just go to work happy hours with a beer and feel something. sucksman

i'm listening to skeletonwitch, lads

Serb detected
Dissing the greatest Croatian metal musician to ever live just because he is Croatian is not a valid criticism of his music

obscure aussie WASP worship band never touched NA for years

in the past 6 months, they've played 2 shows, another one this friday

sometimes i just feel blessed

Have you heard Pharmacist?

...sigh
fyi, I am croatian (unfortunately), and even I had my thompson phase, but it was in 5th grade, when I was like, 11... which you just proved is average mental age of a thompson fan
sincerely, kill yourself in World of Warcraft
also also, I wasn't dissing him because he's croatian or "the greatest Croatian metal musician to ever live" (top fucking kek), I'm dissing him because he's an asshole profiting on emotions of baboons like you and others who get triggered just because they think there's people born on the "wrong side" of danube
idiots
hope you're happy now that you've triggered me too

when i think of true gangsta rap i think of dying fetus

Correct.

Possesed - Seven Churches
Morbid Angel - Abominations of Desolation
Gehennah - Decibel Rebel
Sarcofago - Inri
Sodom - Obsessed by Cruelty
Napalm Death- Scum
Repulsion - Horrified

Sad to see you talk like this. My family moved here to Sydney from Capljina back in the 90s, it's tragic that we keep true Croatian traditions and patriotism and culture and music alive but you're giving up on it in the Domovina. Hopefully you change your mind and I'll see you at the concert next month though

Starts off with a riff as great as what was on Let the Devil In

Promising

If you got a ticket to see this band for free, would you go ? youtu.be/JpJrnBhCmhU?si=FPpc7toxo4q_p6X1

I'd pay to see Sunn, almost did in college but chickened out because it was a bit of a drive and I don't know anyone else who likes them

Of course

The volume would probably be too much for me, but I'd check it out and likely leave early desu.

My fridge is from 1973, I get this concert every single day in the kitchen

My family moved here to Sydney

say no more. you're a bigger croat than I'll ever hope to be. congrats to you. nice parenting you must've had. 2nd gen australopithecus croatian (get it, cuz australopithecus means from down under basically? it's okay if you don't get it) knows more about my homeland than me, who was born and raised here
no wonder you listen to fucking thompson
white field comes first on our coat of armour, right? lmao
kys faggot

it's tragic that we keep true Croatian traditions and patriotism and culture and music alive but you're giving up on it in the Domovina

like you'd fucking know. refer to the rest of this post

I really can't understand how someone can like it, it makes 0 sense to me. Like, it's been over 5 years since I last held any instrument, and even I can play better than that... there is "so bad that is good", but this is "so bad it isn't music". My lawnmower has better songs...

My fridge is from 1973

Is it still running?

There are acts in music that flourish simply because no one ever did it their way before, and Sunn O))) is one of those acts. You can't say they're not original!

I mean yeah, ambient noise drone whatever really, really stretches the definition of "music" in general, I guess you gotta be tweaking off your ass on something to enjoy it
No, I tied it down after the last time it escaped

we keep true Croatian traditions and patriotism and culture and music alive

moves to Australia to be around the superior Anglo culture

LMAO

i went to see them almost 15 years ago. atilla from mayhem was doing vocals. it's less of a live performance than just assailing you with sound. you have to wear ear protection and your body is vibrating the whole time, like you can feel every note that is played. i wouldn't go again but it was an experience.

What do you think of this song youtu.be/yjrKde4LmDc?si=84aKjYQMvuknS6hX

not metal

Bro I hate Christianity so much that I display its iconography whenever I can, even tattooed on my body!

Let me guess, you're either one of those commie Istrians, Zagorye cavemen, or an urban and hip youth from Zagreb which is jumping on the self-hating bandwagon? So what do you think about bands like Wolfenhords? I'd ask about Skoro, but he doesn't play metal
Not my fault I was born here, mate. Though I see the same thing in the Balkans, Bosnian Croats are the only true Croats left in that area, seems to me.

Not bad, but it relies too much on that droning distorted guitar. It would honestly sound better if that part were played acoustically or with a folk instrument

Husker Du

What's the metal version of Husker Du?

You can't say they're not original!

Wearing robes while ripping off Earth, does not make your music original.

husker du more like husker don't kek!

Go back in the sauna

It’s not as good as Fatherland but it’s a damn good attempt at doing something similar. Could even involve Fatherland guys since they’re Finns and this is from Werewolf Records

Listen to The Devil's Blood (not metal)

Ultra based

The volume would probably be too much for me

What do we think of this setlist? Anyone going to see them for this tour?

I'm sorry to say our beloved brother in whiteness Louis Cachet aka Varg Vikernes, aka Count Grishnacht, aged 52, has sadly passed away today from full-blown fucking AIDS.

All their best songs are there, only one missing is dance of death.

Do you have a source for this outlandish claim?

imagine having this many good fucking songs

Kino. I saw em do a similar setlist like 10 years ago and it was a blast.

Me. I'm the source. I gave him AIDS.

When Iron Maiden comes my way, I go. I don't have to think about it. I buy my ticket the moment they go on sale.

Some good songs there (all from their first album) which are sure to be utterly ruined by Bruce Dickinson

Why does Bruce keep thinking that he's an opera singer, and that opera singing would fit in that band?

QRD on Chuck Schuldiner?

Saw him last year at Wacken, dude's still a beast live

Slipknot > Cannibal Corpse

Some good songs there (all from their first album)

There's only 2 from the 1st.

which are sure to be utterly ruined by Bruce Dickinson

Bruce has sang those songs more times than Di'anno ever did. Everyone has heard it before.

Real good.
How far do you guys go in the Rotting Christ discography?

new maymay fresh off the presses

At least they're able to enjoy life

and that opera singing would fit in that band?

damn, perhaps if they'd fired him, they could've had a professional career, instead of being the obscure NWOBHM band they are

Well, cannibal corpse is a parody band like weird al Yankovic, so being better than them is no feat at all...

Really ? Than what is this ? youtu.be/QkNmeZr-XJY?si=nVzwI6lRaEx0FqhL
Saya no uta was a death metal album released as visual novel.

Not a fan of Eternal Champion, but the first song of this EP is really sick youtu.be/2znvmilMlKo any rec for stuff lhat sound similar to this?

Some punkish recs since that seems to be more in your comfort zone

Napalm Death - The Peel Sessions (1993 version for three sessions, or The Complete Radio One Sessions from 2000 for four)

Cleaner production than Scum or FETO, and you get a wider sample of ND from their grindcore days, death metal, and in between.

Cryptic Slaughter - Convicted

Where the lines between thrash metal and thrashcore blur. Influential to Napalm Death.

Some recs mostly based in metal

Dark Angel - Darkness Descends

Kreator - Pleasure to Kill

Two albums, like Reign in Blood, which pushed the limits of thrash metal's extremity before death metal had made itself known. Speaking of...

Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness

Where death metal begins shedding the thrash influences in favor of its own musical language. No clue why the other anons rec Abominations or Blessed over this.

Bolt Thrower - Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness

If you like the blasts and more punk/grind tracks, check out In Battle There Is No Law for a stenchdeath maelstrom. If you like World Eater and other slower and groovier segments, check out The IVth Crusade.

Eucharist - A Velvet Creation

Swedish death metal on a knife's edge between the old-school Entombed/Dismember style and the melodic death scene which would soon be defined by In Flames, At the Gates, and Dark Tranquillity.

We don't like that shit here

I made this for a friend who said that he didn't like black metal (except for Grima, And Oceans, and Fathomage for some fucking reason) because of the shitty production. So, I handpicked several albums, some of my favorites and some not, to get him and other people with difficulties listening to BM into BM. What are your thoughts?
Criteria I used:

No Industrial/Symphonic/Avant-Garde/etc

Limited Folk bands

Didn't make it too exteme (which is why there's no stuff like Anaal Nathrakh) but also didn't make it too mild (which is why there's no stuff like 2000s era Satyricon or the Black n Roll eras of Vreid and Khold)

Decent amount of meloshit

Decent amount of clean vokills

Decent to good production

Judas Priest was the first diaper band, wearing diapers before metal was even old enough as a genre for there to be senior citizens. Because Rob Halford is gay

I only ever really liked this one, Triarchy of the Lost Lovers, and the one where everything is in Greek from like 2016 or thenabouts.

Blasting this disgusting cavernous dm band's only two releases right now.

Gorgoroth's Quantos

Mayhem - Daemon

Watain - The Wild Hunt

Immortal - SoND

Darkthrone - Hate Them

Etc
What the FUCK is wrong with you, what kind of faggotry is this? Why rec him material that isn't a classic but newer stuff that sounds anything BUT a classic?
Here's your (You).

2/2

If I was a real friend I'd tell them to start with Mayhem, Burzum, Dartkthrone, Immortal, Emperor and Dissection. You need to know those at the bare minimum.

wheres bathory?

Gimp post

youtu.be/mQFL-NLh0O8

Didn't open the image award.
I put all of those bands on there except for Burzum because of the shitty production (and honestly they're not worth listening to outside of Filosofem) and Emperor because I'm putting them on a separate chart for essential symphoblack.
Didn't read my post award.
I think that almost every "classic" BM album is overrated and a good amount of them are just total tremolosloppa. I think that as these bands aged they evolved their styles and made their music more unique. None of this mentions the fact that the dude is also a high functioning autist and wouldn't listen to "classic" albums anyway because of the shitty production. Also, Quantos is the third most reviewed Gorg album on MA and SOND is the third most reviewed Immortal album so I'm not really sure what to tell you.

You're also autistic as fuck and a loser at that

everything you said about carcass is true, i like both heartwork and symphonies but necroticism is one of those dm albums which feels impossible to recreate, i dont think i have ever come across an album which has even a remotely similar sound

sinister-diabolical summoning and sinister-hate

Hat

Jute Gyte

Unchain the Wolves

Sleep Token goes hard

They unironically made the AOTY but /metal/ is just too cool and afraid to admit it.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Wow, this cover is brutal as hell!

Lock Up The Wolves

Yeah sorry forgot about em. Also might as well throw in Hellhammer and Celtic Frost too, and maybe Mercyful Fate and Venom too for good measure. Oh and Slayer's first two LPs.

Sleep Token goes soft

Just ordered my Shoax shirt for the Saturday at Metal Threat Fest

Holy shit your right.

Thanks sis

I think dissection is alright and all but idk i just don't listen to their albums more than two times a year

look mom! i posted it again!

For me, it's Reek of Putrefaction.

I probably listen to this song more than anyone else on this planet

Yeah you're also probably an autistic loser

that's everyone posting here

100%. That's why people flip out when you miscategorize a band's subgenre.

Diaper metal for millennials. Mikael rips dude. I don't give a FUCK

np sir o7

Not me thoughbeit

Thank you, for introducing me to the worst song ever recorded. I thought something like Gucci gang or "Baby" were bad, but this, makes Lil pump look like Beethoven, the Beatles, Queen, Bowie, Metallica, and Led Zeppelin all put together.

noice

Why do so many metal musicians cite Mr. Bungle as an influence? They're not even metal...

Celtic Frost

burrito, beer, and doom metal (again)

Why am I so severely overweight, bros

Why am I so severely overweight, bros

Mostly genetics. Don't be so hard on yourself.

weed, munchies, and Dopesmoke (again)

why am I so based bros?

eat less. move more.

I think it's mostly my 5000 calorie diet and unwillingness to get out of my chair but okay

How come Kerry King and Satanic Warmaster are allowed to be fat as hell but I'm not
