[Music] Metal thread \m/

[Skullush]

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 )

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!

I love Protest The Hero.
Also I listen to Between The Buried And Me, Opeth, The Human Abstract, Abigail Williams, Deadlock, and Suffocation to name a few.

And of course. Behold... The Arctopus

If you live in Australia, the ABC (our national TV and radio broadcaster) does have a radio station called Triple J. Every Tuesday night at 10PM (EDST), they have a program that runs for three hours playing all kinds of heavy metal music called "The Racket".

Triple J can be streamed on the internet from the ABC website (www.abc.net.au) if you live outside Australia. Go to the Triple J section and then to "The Racket" page.

I like August Burns Red and Texas in July, haven't heard the other bands.

Does anyone listen to This or The Apocalypse, As Blood Runs Black, Periphery, Deez Nuts or Alexisonfire?

I'm not crazy about metal. The main emotion it's supposed to provoke is aggression or to "get ya pumped", and I'm a very calm person. I prefer folk or alternative rock.

 

[a small kitten]

Who are you to dictate what the music is "supposed" to "provoke"?

 

[asportking]

Metal definitely doesn't "provoke aggression" for me. I fall asleep listening to metal; it's quite calming.

Lol, whatta noob. JKJk. As I do really like metal, my first and third favorite genres are Alternative Rock and Indie Rock, second being metal. I personally fall asleep to metal many nights, and it calms me down.

 

[Escher]

'sall about Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, **** the haters.

 

[Owen]

Who are you to dictate what the music is "supposed" to "provoke"?

What emotion does it conjure in you?

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against it, I don't think it's bad at all, but I can't see any other way of listening to it.

I was not trying to make some controversial statement, but rather share what I see in music.

Protest the hero would be better if they didn't play in the same key for _everything_. Idk. Found it a tad bland.

I don't want to get into a genre debate, but here's this
Metal Carl Likes:
Dir en Grey
Periphery
All That Remains
Animals as Leaders (is ok...CAFO is EPIC though)
Deluhi
The Faceless
Fall of Troy
Nile
Rammstein
Septic Flesh
Marilyn Manson
Versailles
X Japan

I don't want to start a flame war, and I respect your guys' opinions, but I have strong feelings of dislike to the whole hardcore scene. the new stuff. Tried out a crapton of new bands. Don't like.

August burns red. Asking alexandria. Job for a cowboy. Suicide Silence. Bring me the horizon.
It's either a crappy blend of electronic/metal that sounds really bad with cliche'd breakdowns or weak screaming vocals with no emotion behind them//crappy production quality.
The main deal breaker for me is the vocalist.

 

[Divineskulls]

Hell yeah, Led Zeppelin for life! Honestly, if that band didn't exist, I might not have been born. xD

 

[a small kitten]

Alestorm is pirate themed. And Scottish.

 

[Rpotts]

Finntroll's lyrics are in Swedish, one of Finland's two national languages, because they say "Swedish just sounds damn trollish"

I remember that quote being hilarious when I first heard them years ago. I don't listen to them much anymore.
