first
>>47771804Quality post.>>47771800Ulcerate.
Since the other thread is dying, what is some great Melodic Death Metal?
>>47771850Here's a list of some good Melodeath:
>>47771850rym.com/charts/genres/melodic-death-metal
>>47771850above the weeping world, bel'akor, intestine baalism the list could go on
>>47771850Try out:Insomnium (although their latest stuff is kinda meh)At The GatesMygrainArsisThe DuskfallCrystalic (although they do rip off Death a fair bit)In MourningOmnium GatherumKarlahanKalmah
>>47771850Entry tier is CoB, their first three albums only.
>>47771885>bel'akorI cringed.>>47771897>(although their latest stuff is kinda meh)>proceed to list shit bandsWhat the fuck are you doing?
I'm always amazed that /mu/ has never heard of this insane British thrash/heavy metal band called Sylosis. I've been a fan since their first album.Edge of the Earth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGKyh7El2UM Monolith: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEE9JsoIGRs You'll thank me for sure.
Can anybody direct me to that album with the three ghost boys on it? I have no clue what it's called.
>>47771902HCDR is also fun.
>>47771848Isn't Ulcerate Tech death? And I'll ask again, does good atmospheric death metal exist? I've only heard Mystic Places of Dawn and that was fucking awful.
>>47771937Nice copy paste.>hey listen to this melodic metalcore band, you'll love them!Where do you think you are?
>>47771961I only liked two songs off that album, namely Bodom Beach Terror and Angels Don't Kill.What's their newest album like?
>>47771990Atmospheric tech death.Yes it does.
>>47771850see>>47771937Forgot to quote you before.
>tuned to C# standard ealier>gonna write some post-metal type stuff after i listen to a couple of albums
>>47771934>implying i remembered how to spell it
>>47772010Take their second latest and add Dissection.Better but still not good.
>>47772019>self-proclaimed genius thinks he can write post-meal after only hearing a couple of post-meal albums
>>47771990portal could be discribed as atmospheric and thy're good
>>47771948this?i think someone might have asked me before but in a really confusing way
>>47771850Never see this mentioned here. High-tier melodeath with elements of power working their way in, fucking love this album.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqL34RrQVkE
>>47772019Cool blog. Subscribed.
>>47771991Then I'll ask you again, how did you arrive to that conclusion that they're melodic metalcore? Perhaps you enjoy to shitpost.
>>47772058Yes, what album is this? Artwork is haunting

>>47772075trist - hin-fort2 discsfirst is ambient spacey black metal and the second one is dark ambient
>>47772075>what album is this?RIS
>>47772040So... Like Blooddrunk or like RRF?I haven't listened to either, but still.
>>47772062Same guy. Also this. Never see this mentioned either.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdbCcDtte5M
>>47772083Your list is shit. You're shit. The way you posted is shit - make it a fucking image. Then I want you to save it as PNG. Then I want you to fucking hang yourself for having shit-tier opinions on literally every single album in that list.
>>47772083>Ambersmoke - Gloom Tapestriesdo you have a link to psychedelic violence?
who /AAL/ here?
>>47772106I don't understand why you ask this. Can you not read?

>>47772111
four twenty fucking blaze it
>>47772197
>>47772053I'm not listening to post-metal albums. Where did it say I was?
>>47772215
>>47771990best answer: >>47772055The album Seepia is like having a million spiders crawling on you or something. Fast as hell but spooky. They are the fastest band I can think of who keep a strong atmospheric edge.
>>47772215idk why that guy fails at life so hard but here good albumhttp://slomatics.bandcamp.com/album/estron
>>47772168When a band releases 3-4 albums/eps a year, it's not surprising when they can't keep their level on all of them.
>>47772253>>47772197The opening track is fucking perfect, but the rest of the album is so bland.
>>47772066I appreciate it. I didn't know these threads only adhere to talking about metal albums we like as opposed to talking about metal albums we like and other things involving metal and in this specific example: composing it.
>>47772083Listen to:paramnesia - s/t paramnesia / unru - splitodraza - esperalem tkaneskaphe - s/tTsathogguath - Gates into Pristine Abyss
4chan X tells me a post has just been made but I can't see itdon't tell me crazyaga just posted
>>47772233am I the only one that thought vexovoid was as good as the rest of their discography? not the best certanly but from what I've eard most people didn't like it.
>>47772342nope, just that gene faggot
>>47772342it's probably me lol

>>47772305If you have anything to contribute then contribute. Blogging is no contribution.>>47772342>hey i filtered some people and now there are posts but i cant see them what is going on?!Are you really this stupid?
>>47772360ohwell on balance that's a good thing then
>>47772346I prefer the new Impetuous Ritual:http://profoundlorerecords.bandcamp.com/album/unholy-congregation-of-hypocritical-ambivalence
>>47772370Very good tape.
>>47772346I haven't heard anything that recent... I just looked and there was four years between releases? Probably explains why I forgot about them.
>>47772379he's trying to make sure people know that he's got them filtered
>>47772470What an attention whore.
>>47772379>>47772470no I am just literally that scared of crazyaga ruining another thread
>>47772379If anyone cares enough to talk about composing music with me then they would have, but the only people that responded are self-righteous idiots like yourself who think talking about a personal involvement in metal is anything close to blogging. If you want I can list you what I ate today and what my plans for the week are? Get over it.
>>47772066>>47772379Shitposting is worse than "blogging". Fuck off
>>47772486
>>47772514Nice meme
>>47772492mentioning his name will sure help amirite
>>47772529I guess I should probably stop
>>47772523>( ´_ゝ`)Not as good as yours
How do you learn to growl, and sing in particular?Do I travel to Scandinavia and take classes from Varg? Or can I learn singing, at least clean, online?
>>47772496No, that was definitely blogging.>>47772492crazyaga is fine lately. If you want to know when he posts then don't fucking filter him.
>>47772565I don't know if Zen of Screaming will help since you aren't really in the same room as a teacher. My best advice would be to use bandhappy and pay for a lesson from a screamer who can help. I can't help you with the Varg stuff though. He'd probably just kill you.
>>47772596That was a great rebuttal.
>>47772596Are you a troll? I swear all you do is complain and shitpost while contributing nothing to the thread.
Fuck him,move on!King Diamond is going on tour!
>>47772758FUCKYES
>>47772635What about for clean metal vocals? I'm guessing it's just like regular vocals.Where's the best place to start?
What's some good blackened speed metal along the lines of Bulldozer and Schizo?
>>47772785Same thing with bandhappy. There are a lot of artists on there by now who could probably help. It sucks having to dish out money but I can't really think of any thing more convenient then getting a lesson from the people who actually know what they're doing as opposed to hurting yourself through trial and error using video tutorials or what have you.
>>47772809my dick bith lamo
>>47772734You're right, I'm just pointing out others not contributing either.
>>47772785At the King Diamond concert!
>>47772809HellhammerToxic Holocaustearly Death SS
>>47772809NecrodeathAura Noir
>>47772785Try singing.
>>47772827Also if you're serious about clean vocals, I'd focus on finding a teacher that you can actively take lessons from.
>>47772957>>47772785Nice captcha.
>>47772962>>47772980So local singing schools would then be my best bet, seconded by online classes/teachers?Also, I mean clean metal vocals, not core.Core stuff sounds like the singer is crying, idk what's up with that.
>>47772914>>47772954Thanks guys, I appreciate it.
>>47773023You can do it as suggested above without lessons but it couldn't hurt to take them. It won't make your voice any better but your technique will improve and you'll have guidelines (hopefully) that your teacher will provide to keep you from hurting yourself.
>tfw checking moonlightgate everyday and its mostly crap and no bolzer

Are there any bands that play post-rock with DSBM vocals? Something sort of like later Hypothermia without the metal-sounding bits
>>47774173Lifelover are quite post-rocky from time to time
>>47774251Yeah I know about them already, great band
Writing a review for Dodsengel's Imperator is like writing a huge University paper. Ugh.
>>47774306You could try Sun Devoured Earth - Sounds of Desolation and the last 2 albums of Fatal Nostalgia. A bit more shoegaze than post-rock however
>>47774578Cool blog.
>>47774622I know right? But in all seriousness, Dodsengel is some of the best black metal out right now.
God damn how is this album so good?That title track breaks hearts.
>>47772019Grind is best in C#.
>>47774822love his work I dont know why people dont like aura as much as roots, both are top tier for me

This may be of interest to some of you nerds.Young and in the way managed to close a venue/restaurant down here in my city at their show over the weekend.http://www.ashvegas.com/bloody-sunday-at-the-lab-metal-band-sprays-pigs-blood-during-asheville-show-venue-closed-for-cleaninghttp://www.metalsucks.net/2014/06/24/north-carolina-forced-temporarily-close-young-way-spray-audience-blood/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Metalsucks+%28MetalSucks%29http://clclt.com/vibes/archives/2014/06/24/young-and-in-the-way-leaves-a-bloody-mess
Thoughts on the new Mastodon album?
>>47775173>not being ChristianBest religion m8
>>47775344Nah, I'm a Hinduist m8
>>47775320I actually like a lot
Does anyone here play in a band/make their own music?
>>47775320Most of it sounds like Mastodon doing songs Mastodon would never do, which I actually appreciate and enjoy because they can pull it off.Best songs are The Motherload, Once More Round the Sun, Asleep in the Deep, Emerald City and Diamond in the Witch House
for something a bit different - how about we post some good live performance videos?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otrzYM9ldRARecording is great, puts the strength of the composition and how tight they were on display
Anyone into TGOO?New record may even be AOTY potential.
>>47775524I do. I've posted it before but unfortunately have nothing new.https://soundcloud.com/alasunder/anakariim
Anyone got a mega or zippy for Once More Round the Sun? I checked the archive but found nothing.
>>47775524http://picosong.com/CdLy/
>>47775662https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU-nwrJKTqkRegardless of your thoughts on corpse-paint and this kind of imagery I think they really succeeded in creating an atmosphere here, and I just really like the more melodic side of old Gorgoroth
>>47775820see>>47771792

>>47775247Looks like the band fits the album cover amirite :^)
>>47775785Al Azif was better
Anyone listened to this new Inanimate Existence album?Is bretty gud in my opinion.
>>47776521I like them about equally.>>47776537Listening to it right now, digging it. It's kind of like a techier version of 2000s Suffocation.
>>47774173I mean, Hypomanie is technically DSBM post-rock on A City in Mono, but the vocals are absent.Only the opening song on their last album is any good though, and it's the only remotely DSBM-influenced track on it. A City in Mono is pretty chill album.They did a pure DSBM album for their first effort but I remember it being kind of lame because it's DSBM.
>>47776537what is this
>listening to Once More 'Round the Sun>enjoying it not understanding why people have been saying such horrible things>last minute of Aunt Lisa>mfwfucking fuck why did they do that
>>47776743Inanimate Existence - Never Ending Cycle of AtonementTech death
>>47776898ok judging by the album cover it looked like something id ignore on moonlight gate
>>47776821CAUSE IT'S TIME TO ROCK&ROLL
I'm not into a ton of these bands but, i might go. Still might be fun.
>>47776821IT'S TIME TO ROCK AND ROLL
>>47777036> Phobia is still around 0_owow. I get back into them about once every five or six years, pick up their latest and then forget they exist again. I saw them in 2008... oh shit look it's time again!
>>47777255>0_oTime to stop.
>>47777477This isn't /b/. Relax.
>>47777585That isn't ok anywhere
>>47777621You are really upset about this.Ha ha. Yeah, /b/tard for sure.
>>47776821drugs
>>47776537bands like this just seem like a huge waste of talent and potential. why not try to compose something that conveys ANYTHING besides how much you've been practicing?
>>47777649I'm not that other guy idiot, I was just pointing out that posting emoticons anywhere on the internet will make you look like a 12 year old
>>47777585Exactly.
>>47777734and repeatedly rage posting about makes you look how old? That's at least twice, if you're telling the truth.
>>47777797Just because I'm using the word "idiot" (appropriatelyu so) and not laughing in every post doesn't mean I'm mad
>>47777999>i will never be this assblasted in my entire life over nothingfeels bad
>>47777999But you are mad. Admit it :)
>>47777714If you're asking for emotion in tech death, you're out of luck.
i've seen lycus live a lot over the past couple years what do yall think of them
>>47778025>This isn't /b/>lol u mad :)You see why you're an idiot now?
>>47778024I bet it does.>>47778025But why would I be mad over you using an emoticon?
>>47778072Tempest is p cool. 7.5.
>>47778099Not as much of an idiot as you for falling for his routine and fagging up this thread.
>>47778120inorite>>47778099rofl umad xD
>>47778144>falling for his routineAh, you're the kind of idiot that thinks every retarded post is 'a troll' or 'bait'. I see.
>>47777036I might go just for MW, Nails, Noisem, and Cephalic.Not too big on a lot of the other bands but its kinda cool to see this kind of thing happening in Denver.
>>47778183It doesn't matter what it is, you're still encouraging him. Just stop.
Long shot but, is anyone going to Graspop Metal Meeting this weekend?
Whoever recommended Winter Bestowed a few days ago, many thanks. That EP is really good and it's a real shame they didn't record much other material.
>>47778222Clearly people pointing out others' stupidity are the ones who need to stop.
Remission > Leviathan = Blood Mountain = Crack the Skye > Call of the Mastodon = Once More 'Round the Sun > The HunterAre we in agreement?
can't stop listening to this Castle song. the album is ok, but Pyramid Lake one of my favorites this year.
>>47778254lmfao roflcopter u buttfrustrated
>>47778256I can get behind this. OMRTS is only so very slightly better than The Hunter though.
>>47778305Your attempt at trolling is pretty weak m8. Not even sighing.
Pic related is a fucking masterpiece
>>47778229If you ignore the main stages except for Mastodon and Gojira, that Saturday line-up hot damn.
>>47778380>Saturday lineupHoly fuck.
>>47778254...and I'm pointing out your stupidity...and taking my own advice. Have a nice day..
>>47778445>Have a nice day..Damn I fucking hate when people do this shit.You're not polite or anything, you're just a pretentious twat.
>>47778256Put Call of the Mastodon first and maybe we can agree
>>47772083Do you mind uploading sun worship or ambersmoke?
>>47778959http://sunworship.bandcamp.com/album/elder-giants
>>47778380The only bands I would really want to see live as far as that festival goes is Triptykon, Candlemass, Orange Goblin, Neurosis, and In Solitude. Though to be fair I'd probably watch all the bands at Marquee Stage on Friday and Saturday anyhow.
RECOMMEND ME THE FILTHIEST ALBUM OF RECENT YEARS
How come I haven't seen Allegaeon mentioned her - new album came out, as good as the first two.
>>47779109There is no band out there that puts me to sleep like Allegaeon, every fucking thing about that band is so generic and boring
>>47779109I like some of their songs (Accelerated Evolution, Biomech and Iconic Images) but they're pretty bland.
>>47778380Dude, go see Behemoth. They're amazing live.
>>47778060http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ6Dm42zSec
does anyone here know Dillinger Escape Plan? I think they can be considered metal in general. their technical skill is just insane, and its the most disturbing music i've found so far, i love ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDf4nWVLQ34
>>47779925Does anyone here know *insert super popular metal band here*?Naaaaahh I don't think so.
>>47779954couldnt find someone on /mu/ to give a fuck about them in a year, meh.anyways. like them? saw them live sunday and i am quite impressed
>>47779995Like 'em so and so. I like some of their songs but I could never get into their albums. I've heard they have some of the craziest live shows ever though. Saw a couple of videos on YouTube, looked crazy as all hell.
>>47779995they were my favorite band for a good while a couple of years ago. Still love them.
>>47779925why the fuck is that "42% burnt"jackass can't read track names
>>47772010Its fucking horrible. But hey, Scandinavians choose alcohol above all else so what can you do.
>>47779719I've seen them twice. I'm only going Saturday.
>>47774602Fatal Nostalgia is the kind of instruments Im looking for. Something like that but with black metal vocals would be great.
>>47779925they are definitely on a different level than typical metalcore, especially the album you posted. they take the spastic flurry of notes style far enough that it almost begins to resemble something artful. genres are for faggots but everything about their approach is that of the more extreme side of punk/hardcore. the only thing that makes people think of them as metal is the technicality.
>>47780123the live shows are insane. saw them on sunday, they broke like 5 strings, dived into a crows of 25 people guitar-first, threw the microphones around to let whatever dude sing that caught it, cut themselves onstage and played perfectly while having seizures.the set lasted 20 minutes.their recent album is more easy to get into, as they smoothened their sound a bit, added more melody and a consistent theme, its still pretty unique tho>>47780141favourite song? for me its 1. pig latin 2. mona lisa 3. understanding decay
>>47771897>Kalmah
>>47780184Oh, okay. Then go see Eluveitie
>>47780163sorry not my vid>>47780253yeah i wouldnt really connect them to any genrei always wonder how they manage to play their songs live while being extremely active on stage, extremely those that have no consistent timing structure.
>>47775320On my first listen I was kind of "meh" towards it, but as I listen to it more and have more time to reflect upon it, I actually enjoy it a good amount. My favorite songs are Diamond in the Witch House and Tread Lightly. I really do enjoy the intro/outro theme of Chimes at Midnight, it's a shame they didn't develop on that sound more within the actual song though.
I completely forgot I had their album and stumbled upon it, hot damn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W2BXH5j-k4Can anyone recommend bands similar to them?
>>47771850intestine baalism
>>47771990Abyssal.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpD60frWLZQ
Does La Dispute fit in here?
>>47780579No.
>>47772565All metal growlers must partake on an epic journey through the frozen tundras and atmospheric landscapes of Norway to Varg's cabin on the hill, where they will undertake in long yoga sessions for the next two months until they master their throat and voice.That's how you learn to growl.
>>47780614okeydokes. why?
>>47780272Sugar Coated Sour43% BurntVin Diesel (that drum part still blows my mind)
>>47774173Heretoir kind of summarizes what you want, but it's moreso shoegazey post-rock with DSBM vocals. Not blackgaze though.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RflYdnu1DVQ
>>47780644Because they are not metal. They are post-hardcore.
>>47780644do you consider them metal?
>>47780620Varg is best vocalhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNQe_Kw4xH8
>>47780644Because Post-Hardcore isn't metal? They are p good though
>>47780677>>47780681i consider them having aspects from metal, its not like its one of those genres who are defined super clearly. but im fine with not talking about la dispute, was just asking
>>47780745I'm not mad or anything, I just want you to know that they have next to no aspects from metal.
>>47780507I'm not that familiar with UneXpect but as for simila bandsr? I think their schtick is that nothing sounds like them.
>>47780745i actually love that band, but yeah they're very much post-hardcore influenced. Cheers.
>>47778380>tfw Neurosis will only tour Europe
>>47780897I saw them in 1999 in Calgary and it was half stuff from Times of Grace and the rest was a mix of Through Silver in Blood and Enemy of the Sun. Probably the best live show I've ever seen.Saw them again in 2006 and it was a more even mix of songs, nothing from the punk albums nor Souls at Zero though. Also really good, totally different feel. The '99 show was this random mix of people who would never be at the same show together, from across the punk, HC and metal scenes. The crowd in '06 was half hipsters because it was Portland. Which is fine, just the energy was a lot different.
Did skagos ever release the rest of that EP
>>47781035I'd kill to see that '99 show. Watching some old vids on youtube gets me pumped.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJE4vCHoAWU
>>47781090http://skagos.bandcamp.com/
>>47781102oh, I found tons of old vids in the past. Even going back to when they were still playing punk squats in Europe and just starting to do songs from Souls at Zero, though the record wasn't out. They even presented themselves differently then, like they spoke about the meanings of the songs the way a hardcore band does.They stopped speaking at all when they went fully experimental. They take the stage, play for two solid hours and leave. There is no gaps at all because the visuals, soundscapes and voice samples continue even when the music pauses. They don't even introduce themselves at the start or say "thank you, good night" later.Shit man I haven't heard any new stuff of theirs in about 6 years now that I think about it. I should look it up.
And out of nowhere, a power metal album joins the race for Metal AOTY.
>>47781626I am not sure if I like this, it is decent though if you look past the cheese. It kind of reminds me of Hibria with more going on.
>>47781285makes me wonder what happened. I actually laughed whenever I first heard Pain of Mind after getting familiar with TSIB, ToG, etc. Honor Found in Decay was pretty decent. Felt like a continue from Given to the Rising/Eye of Every Storm. Gonna have to listen to their whole discography now, thx.
What does /mu/ think of Dio? Good or overrated?
>>47782088KILL THE KIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGTEAR HIM DOWWWWWNNNNNNseriously though Rising and Long Live Rock and Roll are top tier Heavy Metal albumsSo is Holy Diver
>>47782008Given to the Rising, I couldn't remember the name actually, is probably the last I heard. I will look up Honor Found in Decay.As for what happened, they were all about 16 when they formed the band. That album was made maybe two years later (I'm estimating). They saw punk as this creative, challenging thing at the time and they just wanted to keep challenging themselves so they explored a new sound with every album. Pain of Mind is actually considered an 80's classic in those circles to this day. The Word as Law is more polished, more contemplative, and with no fast songs but it's not "Neurosis" yet. Its funny but they come from the same local music scene as Green Day, Op IV (who evolved into Rancid), and Jawbreaker. You should read the old thank you lists on their albums, they are priceless.
>>47782088Last in Line is GOAT
oh my fucking god. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zAvyXESXTA
Metal is for faggots who play dungeons and dragons in their basements all dayALL OF METAL
>>47782088Good, can be overrated depending on who you ask, as some people can't take their mouths off his cock long enough to actually think about anything else.
>>47783327It takes friends to play D&D so that'd still mean we're doing better than you lol
>>47783327Me:>Gather five friends >Get a few packs of beer>Blast some music in our mancaves, drunk and having funYou:>Alone>LonelyAt least you have your music reviewers to guide you ;^)
Finally gave this a listen, and wow, it's like a watered down For Victory.Disappointed.
>>47781626Judging by that album cover, it's probably garbage.
I did not realize but Nokturnal Mortum has an album scheduled for release this year. Well that is another album to add to my own hype list.
>>47784292can it be better than voice of steel tho
>>47784164I'm with you but I will never get used to the word "mancave". The rest is cool.
>>47784307I don't care if it is better as long as it is as good. But if it is better then that is a plus.
>>47784382voice of steel would be nearly impossible to top though
>>47784411Definitely not disagreeing that it wouldn't be hard to top, but like I said something just as good is fine with me.
>>47771850go for the old stuff firstCarcass - HeartworkIn Flames - WhoracleArch Enemy - Burning BridgesAt the Gates - Slaughter of the SoulEdge of Sanity - Purgatory Afterglow (GOAT)newer bands that are good areBe'LakorInsomniumParasite, Inc.
>>47772083new Mastodon
>>47775320very, very good. i love the riffs on The Motherload, High Road, Halloween and Feast Your Eyes.
>>47776821the singing on the album is the weakest part.the riff behind that part is very Blood and Thunder-esque
>>47783266potential AOTY for me. amazing album
>>47779055Nails - Unsilent Death
>>47784183you are wrong.
>>47771850>>47784548>HeartworkGOAT melodeath album. Runner up for me is probably The Gallery by Dark Tranquillity. >WhoracleI don't remember anything from it but The Jester Race is awesome.>Burning BridgesNot my cup of tea.>Slaighter Of The SoulVictim of its own success. It's the sound many bands tried, and still try to emulate. As result, it ends up sounding as stale as everything that came after it, despite its riffs being above average, although rather simplistic. Not really saying it's bad because it's popular, but because after listening to so many things that sound like it you end up ruining the whole experience, but that's just me. I prefer The Red In The Sky Is Ours myself.>Purgatory AfterglowGreat album, however I think both Unorthodox and Crimson are better.>Be'lakorAbsolutely love them.>InsomniumCan see the appeal but never really got into them. Favorite is probably Since The Day It All Came Down.Just my 2 cents. I'd also recommend Arsis' first EP and Dismember's Like An Everflowing Stream.
>>47784883I don't think Slaughter Of The Soul is their best either... of that style they were aiming for finally, the ones they made trying to get there are better, With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness & Terminal Spirit Disease.Red in the Sky is Ours is fantastic too but by the time you go back that far they sound like an entirely different band.
>>47784883>GOAT melodeath album. Runner up for me is probably The Gallery by Dark Tranquillity.I also love The Gallery. Impressively, Dark Tranquillity managed to put out strong material up to, and including Fiction with maybe one hiccup (Projector).Soilwork's debut album is good melodeath, and I think Gwynbleidd and Callenish Circle deserve mentions as well.
>>47784748Wow, sure convinced me.
>>47784883definitely agree with everything. most of those albums are the ones i discovered them with, so thats why i recommended them.what do you think of new In Flames? personally i like everything they put out
>>47784183>>47784748>>47785286Even though I thoroughly enjoy all of BT's albums, I find them to be kind of indistinguishable from one another, save for their first album.
>>47785374>what do you think of new In Flames? personally i like everything they put outoh shit...
>>47772084Do you know where I can get this from? I can't fucken find it
>>47785267Fiction is my favourite album by them. one of few bands who actually use synths/keyboard wells
>>47785403what? i like old and new. old is consistently better but Sounds of a Playground Fading has some good songs on it.
I'm listening to this, pretty depressive stuff. It combines funeral doom with DSBM perfectly.
>>47785448Yeah good stuff. I think they were one of the first to combine the sounds that way.
>>47785448Been awhile since I have seen anyone mention Nortt, kind of feel like he has faded into obscurity. Gudsforladt is a great album though.
>>47771850As melodeath goes, pic related is pretty kick-ass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fTO3efYgQw&list=PLBB16350027BCDECFIlldisposed cranked out a lot of hit and miss, but they are also worth looking into if you're into that sound.
>>47785434I just thought the hate train would leave the station. Guess I was wrong.
>>47785557yeah, i was ready for that. but this thread is not active enough, there have only been a couple shitposts
>>47785420True, but they abused the effect on WATV. And I'm not sure what to think about Construct. But really, DT has enough great stuff out there that they can afford to fuck around a bit now.
>>47779841Any particular order? And can someone tag each of the album names on the side with the genre it falls under? Or asking too much?
>>47785557For the record I've always hated them but you know what? I'm not a retard about forcing-feeding people my opinions.Beer's in the fridge anon, help yourself.
>>47785597come on dude no ones going to spoonfeed you that hard
>>47785590I can tolerate their RtR through CC output, but after that...vomit.
>>47785618Normally charts are divided by genre anyway. It just seems more concise to keep them together but at least clarify what genre they are. And knowing what particular order was just a question of bias.
>>47785605way ahead of you bruh, and my comment wasn't meant to be all srsbsns
>>47785669Neither was mine, now have a beer you fag.
>>47785640no they arentits his 2014 chart, his taste not some magazine issue or somethingi personally dont even list the album names when i make them but he did, how entitled are you
>>47785597I can probably do this, it was just a quick reference list.
>>47785706Thank you so much. Metal variety is so vast that something that was just considered good this year would be really hard to get into if you don't have an appreciation for the genre to begin with.
>>47785374Sorry for the late response. To be honest I haven't really listened to any of the newer In Flames. I recall listening some songs from their post 2000 material on youtube and I enjoyed them, but not enough to convince me to try the full albums.>>47785267I happen to enjoy Projector and dislike Fiction. Did you like Construct? It's not the best they have done but they really captured a certain mood that does it for me, but I can't really put it into words.
>>47785889>Did you like Construct? It's not the best they have done but they really captured a certain mood that does it for me, but I can't really put it into words.I really want to like it, but that's the best thing I can say about Construct, and probably only because I'm a long-time fan with a pro-DT bias. It's not horrible.
I could find reasons to bitch about this album, but I'm too damned glad Incantation is still out there.
>>47786159I don't follow metal regularly anymore, I just get the urge sometimes and inevitably end up here looking for new things. I see things like this and I am baffled. These guys have been around since 1989 and two of them were in Profanatica before that. The members are older than the parents of some people reading this post right now and they are still making death metal.I mean you have admire this.
>>47786347Stop making my life feel meaningless.
>>47786347As someone who falls squarely into the age between the members of Incantation and the parents of most of the anons here, this is precisely why I can enjoy DoE despite its flaws, which aren't all that glaring anyway.
>>47776439Man, I love this stuff. Prog-metal at its finest.
I love Wolves In The Throne Room and Agalloch. What do I listen to next?I have these discographies on my iPod, what should I listen to first out of them?>Drudkh>Falls of Rauros>Fen>Les Discrets>Mutiilation (I love their EP "Hail Satanas We Are The Black Legions."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKuRKfnCsdU:^)
>>47787815I'm only familiar with Les Discrets / Alcest. Also, check out Blut Aus Nord.
Hi guys I just saw Agalloch but I don't really listen to metal much. Show was p good though
>>47772328Can't find a link for Odraza, but i will listen to the rest.
>>47787815Autumn Aurora is my favorite from Drudkh.Also check out Der Weg einer Freiheit for more WITTR love
>>47788089why happy
>>47787815Drudkh and Falls of Rauros are your best bets at this point.Les Discrets is great, albeit not really "metal," and Fen is pretty inconsistent throughout their discography.As for Mutiilation... Well... I can't recommend much from them, but they're a pretty different breed altogether when compared to the others. Still love everything I've heard of theirs, though.
>>47780851Nah, Akphaezya sound a lot like em
>>47781733>Hibria with more going onOk my dick is hard nowIf they have an awesome bassist, gonna listen ASAP
> Looking through nuclearblast for albums to buy> MFW they have a genre called "True Metal"Anway, Some good Metal[Death] Inferi - Path Of The Apotheosis[Death] Beyond Creation - The Aura[Black] Taake - Doedskvad[Black] Plebeian Grandstand[Symphonic] Haggard
>>47780447Not gonna happen. I need that front row spot for Cult of Luna.
>>47789867>Beyond Creation - The AuraThis.>that bass every time
>>47789867>>>reddit>>>9gag
>>47771792what did you guys think of this? (i haven't seen any in depth discussion about this album since the day of its release, it often just gets shot down with the 'meal is for kids' meme whenever anybody posts it.)
>>47790179Good album. Have to listen their other albums.
>>47790179It has moments where it seems to be trying really hard to be something it's not. On my first listen I hated album. I hated the grating guitar tone, the lack of any real pacing or flow, and the fact that the electronic fills to bridge the tracks always seemed unnecessary and didn't really add anything. That and it it seemed to actually ditch some of the things AoP used to do best in favour of things that just didn't work.It grew on me a lot though, and I love it's ambition and how it executes its ideas.>I WATCHED MY SON>DIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEIt still has it's flaws, and I'll always prefer Mammal or White Tomb over it. Mammal especially was a lot more bleak than this and didn't need to try and be progressive.Considering he always knew it was his last album and went all out with an attitude that even if everyone hated it he had nothing to really lose, I'd say it turned out to be really interesting.
guys im hella tired and i want some new music to listen to while i stay awake for a few more hours recommend me something
>>47790145>Beyond Creation - The Aura>that bass every timeMany yesI have the vinyl for that band :D>>47790282Beyond Creation

>>47782745troof

>>47790478what do you even mean?
>>47784198Name one power metal album with a non-shitty cover
People here helped me finding links in the past so I'll try my luck once again.Arcturus - Shipwrecked in Oslo, that DVD was reissued recently in album form and it was remastered. Any chance for a link to that new remaster?
>>47785448FUCK YES! I love Nortt. Nortt makes me swell with national pride. Also, his music is just amazing. The split he did with Xasthur is pretty good aswell.>>47789867Taake are amazing. Went to this festival, and Taake were probably the best concert out of them all.
>>47790811Not so much ambient, but similar style BM.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7ocRBxsntY
Blind Guardian are objectively the best power metal band
