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 :)

Mastodon sounds quite nice yes :tu :D

I'm a huge fan of Killswitch Engage, and I also listen to Five Finger Death Punch and Lost Eden a lot as well. At worlds Henrik got me started on Volbeat now too :)

Metal is quite nice for BLD cubing in my opinion, and sometimes also for speedcubing.

I guess I'm more of a "hard rock" (not sure if that would be the correct term) fan than a true heavy metal fan. I mean, I like the usual: Avenged Sevenfold, the Big 4 (as in Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax), Testament, and that sort of stuff. Although, I'm not a huge fan of the screamo bands, like Lamb of God. I don't really find it appealing to have the lyrics screamed unintelligibly into my ears.

I love jazz, classic opera and rock. I saw Metallica in 1984.


A band that made history is ELP

First experimentation moog
First drum synthesizer experience

super virtuoso band and my inspiration with the cube

Look this video in 1973 on the band ELP .....

The sound isn't good OLD VIDEO but....

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!

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

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!

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.

NECROPHAGIST

Amen to that! Necrophagist's riffs are among the most creative I've heard. Fermented Offal Discharge is a favourite. (Yeah, I know, tha song title is pretty silly :p)

I'm generally a fan of progressive/creative/weird metal, such as Meshuggah, Dillinger Escape Plan, Opeth and Blotted Science.

Also, you guys have to look up Protest The Hero! :)
