[Music] Metal thread

[masteranders1]

Me gusta Mastodon. I've been listening to The Black Dahlia Murder a ton recently. I'm also a fan of Slipknot, Korn, Killswitch Engage, and Slayer as well. Probably a ton of other ones I don't remember off the top of my head.

I've only listened to Mastadon's "Crack the Skye" album. I really liked it though.

Pretty much all I listen to is "metal" (the reason I put metal in paratheses is because I hate genre nazi's and I include all the sub genres of metal/hardcore under the metal category.) My favorite bands are Despised Icon, Chelsea Grin and I Declare War.

I really like to listen to Tool while cubing cause the songs don't have too much for words and are good tunes to listen to. The only reason i don't want the words is because i start to say them and get messed up solving

So I'm absolutely loving this band, and I was just wondering what all you guys think of them.

Also metal music appreciation thread, share your favourite bands, etc, but try and keep it specifically metal

Read title and started clapping. then thought about suggesting Strapping Young Lad/Devin Townsend when suddenly

Haven't tried Mastodon.

These days, I listen almost exclusively to Devin Townsend, former lead singer/songwriter for Strapping Young Lad. He is up there with Prince and Danny Elfman, IMO, but with metal DNA.


Devin Townsend rules all galaxies!

Some other bands I find interesting, Cavalera conspiracy, Gojira,(tis old but, Megadeth), and Scars on Broadway.

Metallica, iron maiden, Alestorm, Equilibrium and Finntroll. Can't think of more right now.

...Equilibrium and Finntroll. Can't think of more right now.

I listened to those bands a lot 6-7 years ago. You like Moonsorrow, Symphony X, Borknagar, Dark Tranquility, Opeth, Blind Guardian, etc?

[Bapao]

Mainly metalcore. With Life in Mind, It Prevails, We Came as Romans and Saints never Surrender come to mind. Shai Hulud and HSB are also good. I usually listen to chiptune stuff when I need a break from metal though.

EDIT

Nearly forgot Parkway Drive. Best band ever IMO. Australia's finest!

Spoiler:

Kalmah, Insomnium, Be'lakor, Children of Bodom, Meshuggah, Behemoth, Wintersun

Actually, I don't know any of the ones you just named, but I'll check some of them out when I'm back from school.

Awesome band. Their earlier stuff was better, but thats not to say the new stuff is bad! I think that CoB get more hype than they deserve personally. Still good though.
