Bump?
>>55149168Nice.
where the fuck is everyone?
>>55149897Here.
So uhh what album are you waiting to drop? I have my eyes on the new Outre, came out today so maybe by tomorrow it'll be up.
>>55149897Playing GTA 5 I'm assuming.
>>55149897Passing through.So, what does /metal/ think about Nagelfar?Not the Swedish Naglfar, the one from Germany.I know their stuff is pretty old, but I'm just finding out about them now.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3wkRkMvAi4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82yPrvqLRK8
Russian Circles is pretty aight, but damn they'd be better if they had vocals
>>55150050Genocide Shrinesno idea when it's actually coming out though but supposedly this year
>>55150050High on Fire and the new Tempel albumhyped as fuck for both, both comin out in June I believe
>>55150094After being a fan for like 4 years, I really can't imagine them having a vocalist at this point; or ever for that matter. They get the point across effectively enough without vocals. I think it would ruin it if they had Scott Kelly or someone screaming over everything.That being said, with the song 309, that part where it's kind of like a breakdown in the middle with that ominous ambient guitar wailing in and out, they should have had something extra like another instrument. It's still one of my favorite songs by them but I was waiting for something else other than dat bass part.
>>55150468I listened to Geneva (my first album of theirs) all the way through yesterday, and found that I was really missing having vocals. It could be incoherent screaming for all I care, but I feel like I need to have vocals of some sort in my music. Maybe prog stuff and instrumentals just aren't for me.
I'm listening to screamo and I like itsend help
>>55150854there is no help for you now, this is the end
>>55150854By screamo do you mean actual screamo like Orchid or do you mean scenecore shit?
So why are bands like Mercyful Fate and Venom considered black metal? Is it the aesthetics and themes?
>>55151384Yes.
>>55151384Pretty much
>>55151375I dunno the difference, but shit like Snowing, Merchant Ships, and William Bonney. You be the judge of it's "real" or not
>>55150854https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWUzc6FdhmIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zih4OZBiboUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxc-49QpQf8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bg9lFLhM8Mhelp sent>>55151429oh. yeah don't go calling that stuff screamo.
>>55151559If it's not screamo what is it? I'm just going off of the lastfm tags>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxc-49QpQf8 good lord, my sides
>>55151429yeah that's trve skramz right therenothing wrong with that, i fucking love Ampere and Combatwoundedveteran
>>55151618I could go on for days about what that stuff actually is, but let's just call it modern emo for the sake of keeping this thread metal related. William Bonney has some overlap with screamo I guess.>good lord, my sides>making fun of muh amalgamationI'll fight you
>>55151659I checked out Ampere, not a fan. What I like is the screaming vocals with the "midwestern emo" instrumentation or whatever. I don't like it to be "noisy" Best example I can think of is Merchant Ships - Dying, or Snowing - Methuselah Rookie Card.
>>55151761yeah i like that stuff because it's pretty close to grindcore/mathcorei remember liking Brave Little Abacus a bit but most midwest emo doesn't appeal to me
just found a picture of a chick making the Prowler in the Yard face
>>55151384Yeah. 1st wave created the aesthetic, 2nd wave created the sound.
Why is this so good?Also fuck the alternate cover art.
Reminder that liking both Emo and Metal means you have superior taste.
>>55150050New Leprous hopefully, also Skinless, and maybe some new Xanthochroid. High hopes for the remainder of the year.
Anyone know what dead in the dirt is up to?
any collage in
>>55151384Yes.Essentially all you needed to be "black metal" in the those days was to have similar lyrical themes to venom and mercyful fate. These bands were immensely influential to the future of extreme heavy metal music and in a way 2nd wave black metal is a return to extreme metal's roots which are primitive, underproduced and evil heavy metal music.
>>55152110I like when bands include King Diamond style falsetto in their music, even in tiny bits like Sabbat does. That high pitched scream equates evil in my mind
They're gonna get themselves killed...
>>55152345Hold up, best MF album coming through.
>>55152404you must be confused
>>55152457No friend, is this some sort of elborate ruse?
>>55152001>2nd wave created the sound.not true, btw
>>55152559I guess it would probably depend on who you would call 2nd wave or not.I've heard people categorize both Celtic Frost and Bathory as either 1st or 2nd wave so I don't even know anymore.
>>55152663I can only see it as a chronological thing.The 80s had bands like Bathory, Celtic Frost, Master's Hammer, Sarcófago, etc. releasing albums, so I think the black metal sound was already created by the first wave.
>>55152745They still sound vestigially like thrash played fast, the tremolo isn't quite there, the blast beats aren't as relentless. That's were the 2nd wave came and did their thing, they also streamlined the vocal styling.
>>55152880Hey, I'm not gonna deny that the sound evolved and 2nd wave made a clearer definition of that sound, but it's silly to deny the very roots of the black metal sound were already created in the 80s, you can't simply say first wave was just aesthetics.It's like saying Seven Churches wasn't a death metal album because it was still heavily thrash influenced and didn't have characteristics that other bands developed later.
>>55152970Yeah but if you were to classify those bands now a lot of them would be blackened thrash while the Norwegians made it's own specific brand of black metal with even less influence from other stuff. Similar to how Black Sabbath started metal but right now are classified as doom metal.
>>55153040I think this will lead to nothing because we're aiming at different things. I just think that even if you argue that 2nd wave bm was more 'pure black metal', the 1st wave already had 'musical black metal' and not just 'aesthetical black metal'Anyway, I wouldn't call this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdj4FgcjrDI a blackened thrash album, and this is a cornerstone on 1st wave black metal. Also other later black metal like Blasphemy borrows more from bands like Sarcófago, who basically created the sound that Blasphemy and their copycats followed.
>>55152079ayy
Guys, Taake finally announced a tour with a show nearby me and it sold out immediately while I was in class. Hold Me.
>>55153346At least you won't have to see a penis.
>>55153346maybe you can *boing* by yourself outside the venue :^(also what the fuck, captcha now uses image selection?
>>55153412It's used image selection for like months now, what rock do you live under.
>>55153239I like to think of it this way. During the 80s there really weren't really "black metal" regional scenes going on, although this is very debatable (see south america, esp brazil and maybe germany to some extent). Musically black metal then didn't gravitate to one sound or style of play. In the early 90s, black metal was celebrated by regional scenes like scandinavia, canada, the usa, japan, greece, poland, etc. and this was the time where these places celebrated it in their own ways.
>>55153485only moved to it in the last 2 days for me
also why is The Mars Volta so fucking awesome right now
who /bands withgeometrical shapes for names/ here?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9GtKDhKz3Q
>>55153905>tfw Omar and Cedric will never be good again
>>55154030iktfbi haven't bothered to check noctourniquet or octahedron, should i? just been relistening to De-loused and Amputechture.
>>55152079THUNDERSTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL
>>55154469I didn't like Noctourniquet, and while most people didn't, I remember some people saying it was a return to form.Never listened to Octahedron.
>>55152079
>>55154647lol I thought that said Cuntia
>>55152079Last week. Didn't get through them all though :/
>>55152079spot the metalthe answer might surprise u
>>55152079>>55154647I outweeb you. Nice on Mary's Blood (don't really care much for Aldious or Cyntia).
>>55153972 Here's a prog djent band. Not terrible, but if you don't like djent they won't ghange that. Circles-Infinitas
>>55154705>ariel grindcore fucking brilliant
>>55154711surprised to see unexpect, extol and SA on there.
>>55154894Those bands have all held up very well for me over the years especially unexpect.
>>55154735What good djent bands are there?
>>55155048Some Russian dude who's only released demo tracks makes my favourite djent.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93HU0R-0Z_Y&spfreload=10
>>55155048most djent bands with geometry names are boring except for TesseractSome other good ones are Vildhjarta, Sikth, Periphery, Veil of Maya, Within the Ruins, and Erra
>>55155048Meshuggah, and only Meshuggah.Everything else is just a blatant ripoff.
>>55154526>bolt thrower>LHMy absolute black man
So Dir En Gray came out with a new album and I just missed it. Pretty stellar stuff.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLysMT_Y_dBmogatHBApvISDwA-G-xSH5R

Anybody here Soilwork fans? What did you think of the new live album?
>>55154526>Abhorrencehell yeah. Just learned Caught in a Vortex recently.
>>55155417Saw them live with jeff loomis and it was one the worst concerts ive ever been too
>>55155449
Goodnight meal
Evenin LadsWhat you listen to ATMShare it and rate itVersailles - Jubilee8/10
>>55155658i'm going through this guys list right now
>>55155686Im impressed with that dedicationWhere are you as of now?Also replace the edguy album with their Vain glory Opera albumMuch better IMO
>>55155686I tried so hard to like power metal short of a few albums but I just couldn't do it. The albums started to blend together and I forgot who was who. I love me some entry level power metal like Twilightning and Excalion but...fuck man. You've got some balls going through that whole chart.
>>55155709checked all that i've listened to so far today. Currently listening to some burzum for diversity and gonna listen to scanner when I'm driving to school tomorrow.
>>55155749LOST HORIZONOSTHORIZON
>>55155769I'm afraid I don't understand. I wasn't trying to be rude if I offended you, anon.
>>55155800No i mean listen to them lol
>>55155800they are one of the best power metal bands.
>>55155836>>55155900I really hope you guys aren't trolling me...
>>55156007I'm super cereal right now, Lost Horizon is the coolest shit.
>>55155763Damn, I need to step my game up. I haven't even heard of half of those bands.
>>55155658early Versailles is the shit
>>55155288I've listened to almost nothing else but this album. It's almost perfect. Maybe 9.995/10.
>>55150091Nagelfar is definitely a good band. I like Hünengrab im Herbst the most though. Srontgorrth got these weird and out of place electronica interludes that kill some of the atmosphere for me. Oh, and also the drummer, Meilenwald, went on to form the mighty Ruins of Beverast.
>>55155658Currently listening to A Sound of Thunder - Time's Arrow. Love me some over the top metal with goofy lyrics.
You know /mu/ is constantly shit, but /metal/ is only shit every once and a while<3
>>55156007no. Lost Horizon have the best vocalist in the genre, a unique approach, and Highlander (The One) is the best thing ever.
http://shaidarlogoth.bandcamp.com/This is it.
>>55156417I can't tell if this post is serious or not.
>>55156599I am being 100% sincere. i have over 300 lost horizon plays on last.fm (and thats nothing compared to some people)
>>55156658Ive got like over 1000 at this point.
>>55156658>I am being 100% sincereNo shit, you are a tripfag>i have over 300 lost horizon plays on last.fm (and thats nothing compared to some people)You're actually bragging about this.
>>55156658They sound like your average power metal band to me. Also, 300 plays isn't that much. I mean, I've got over 2000 Blind Guardian plays. Still haven't listened to their new album, though.
Is there any death metal other than Tribulation,Morbus Chron, and Orbweaver that could be classified as psychedelic or that have a trippy/psychedelic vibe?
>>55156743are you me
>>55156772Nah. Your taste probably isn't as shit as mine.
>>55156743yeah i know 300 isnt much i don't listen often because i don't want to ruin the magic.
>>55156726>braggingno, he asked if i was being serious in my recommendation. and i do second whoever recommended them.
>>55157215>(and thats nothing compared to some people)That's bragging.You also missed my point. The fact that you are using last.fm to prove anything is ridiculous. Why not just explain why you like the band instead if you want to prove that you are being serious.Ditch the trip you pretentious faggot.
>>55157286>that's braggingno it isnt you mongoloid
I have 1,864 A Sound of Thunder plays on last.fm. Am I cool yet?
Holy fuck this is amazing.

>>55157577How could anyone not ask about the thing that stands out the most in your collage? Also, I haven't even thought about Deftones since I was 15.
>>55157569Damn never heard that one before.
>>55157577DUN DUN DUDALUN DUNN DUN.
recs for black metal like peste noire?
>>55157707SighSilencer (maybe)
Fuck, I absolutely love AC/DC. Trent Reznor's vocals fucking rule on Back in Black
>>55157760Please apply yourself. Next time come back with a coherent theory on why Slipknot and Disturbed should count as heavy metal.
>>55157617Deftones is a fine band, they're different from most (if not all) Nu shit
>>55157760Ironic shitposting is still shitposting
>>55156174Yeah, the electronic parts in Srontgorrth caught me pretty off-guard too.I actually liked some of the intros/outros they used in their demos more, like the opening here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bznXPSEbiIversus what ended up getting used in the full album.
>>55157776>>55157791>2015>not liking AC/DCLook, you can't deny John Petrucci's shredding skills on Back in Black. Let's be real and accept Back in Black as the best metal album, yeah?
Twitch dot tv/numetaMetal radio I started!Come request some songs of your favorite bands so I can increase my metal vocabular
>>55157882If i come all im gonna request is Jap power metal
>>55157286i explained why i like lost horizon - i said they have the best vocalist in the genre, a unique songwriting style, and Highlander (The One) is among my favorite songs ever. when questioned whether i was being serious, all i could prove was my paltry number of last.fm plays. and it is paltry, that was meant as a gesture of humility.apologies if i offended you.if i need to elaborate further:LH's songwriting is very dynamic and takes an interesting approach to incorporating progressive metal influences. Their use of synth is nicely subtle and not overtly symphonic. And their lyrics deal with positivity and self-empowerment, which make them very comforting to listen to when feeling hopeless and powerless.considering the other shit you posted, i shouldn't be devoting this much effort to a post, but i felt like it, dammit. (also reddit is cool for following band news and other stuff, the "reddit sucks" meme is pretty tiresome.)

>>55155763Guessing the scribbles are bands you didn't like? Judging by that, feel free to skip right ahead to Iced Earth, Persuader and Orden Ogan. Kamelot is amazing as well though they might not be to your liking, that list just needs Black Halo instead of Epica.List has a lot of really obscure shit, but is missing a few great popular ones like Pyramaze, Demons & Wizards and Thunderstone.And how is this shit for beginners? I bet most people here haven't heard of half of those bands. I sure as fuck haven't.

>>55160449Depends on the band and on the edition.
>>55160449No, Power Metal is about glorious, epic adventures and heroism. D&D is about autistic optimization and powerleveling for its own sake.

do you guys know any metal record store with international shipping with low or at least reasonable shipping and record prices? (I live in the middle east)
>>55159806scribbles are bands that I loved. Thundersteel is hype as fuck and lost horizon needs no explanation. If I could I would do the same for twilight force because it is also hype as fuck.
>>55160619What's to judge you got>ulver>bumbum>darkscone>autopsyAlso why the "total death" album, seems kinda random.
>>55160635not at all, his range is like an octave lower
>>55160364New The Body is terribad. New Drudkh too.
>>55160822>New The Body is terribad.Business as usual then.>New Drudkh too.N-no...
>>55160795I hadnt heard the album before
>>55160833No, I meant there's a new Drudkh as well. Worded it terribly. A Furrow Cut Short is great.
>>55156417Nah, the best power metal vocalist is Mathias Blad
>>55160635>mr bungleMan, I still don't know how I feel about this album. The music on it is amazing, but the samples between every song is really annoying. The thing is that cutting out the samples leaves no transition and it just feels weird.
>>55160691perhaps you could use this map to see if you could find one?http://www.recordshops.org/
>>55160895Yeah particularly on Egg where they have 3 fucking minutes of them train hopping at the end of a 10 minute song.Though that part on Slowly Growing Deaf (?) With the video game sound effect collage was cool,
>>55160449both power and black metal are d&d metal
>>55160882how do you pronounce Drudkh? like drudk?
>>55160982Drood-ka
>>55160982Darude
>>55160982Droideka
>>55152046I wish I did, that album is one the best i've heard in quite a while
>>55161021>>55161034haha well meme'd my friends :)
>>55160982its drood-kuh apparently
>>55160982it's supposedly a sanskrit word for wood or somethinghttp://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%81closest I've found I guess
>>55152880They are different for sure, but 1st wave is in no way "less" black metal than the 2nd. 2nd wave just took another approach.
>>55153384I'd go to a Taake show exclusively for kvlt dicks on stage
>>55161095Depends on who you're talking about. Mercyful Fate is definitely way less black metal than 2nd wave.
>>55154526Love the Thundersteel album so much
>>55160901well i know the shops down where I live, but the options are very limited - I'm searching for an internet store to order from

Do you love Jute Gyte as much as I do?
>>55152001>>55152110What are you retards talking about? Just because they were influential doesn't make them black metal. Bo Diddley and Otis Rush helped create rock n roll but that doesn't mean they played fucking rock n roll.
>>55163000I don't know anything about serialism or 24 tone row or any of that shit. It's really weird and I like it but I have to be in a mindset for it.
>>55160460Steel BearinghandI think

D
>>55163013No, they were called black metal because they played evil/satanic heavy metal.
>>55164963:(
>>55165587Don't be sad, anon.
I have a questionAm I supposed to understand the lyrics of (most) metal tracks? Like at times where its really growly. I can appreciate and enjoy the sound of it and how it fits in with the music, but for example I was reading an interview with Deafheaven and a lot of the questions were about the lyrics, and I don't think I've ever understood one without having to look them up online. (Although I can normally start to hear it if I read along with the song)Is it something people can begin to hear as they listen to more metal?
>>55165779I'd be surprised if anyone understood most of the lyrics. there's usually lyrics in the album cover and stuff
>>55165779Lyrics in my opinion dont matter one bit in metal. The only times I care about lyrics is when i'm learning the song. Once you know the lyrics it's like a veil is lifted and you can actually tell he is saying something (unless you're listening to brutal death metal then lyrics really really dont matter)

>>55165779Depends on the bands but after a time you get the hang of it and you become able to make out verses in growled/screeched songs. Most of Metal writers stick to a very limited vocabulary and themes, so it's not that hard.But no, you aren't expected to understand the lyrics.

>>55165955Behold my Judgement: O pitiable foolish young man! O horrible! O dreadful state! consider the hot burning dungeon thou art preparing for thyself to all eternity, to which thou art going in such career.
>>55165999trips for truth
>>55165779Depending on the band, some harsh metal vocals are easier to comprehend than you'd think at first. Listing to Deafheaven, to use your example, I can make out about as much as I'd be able to from any band with clean vocals.On the other hand, no one's ever going to work out what the hell Demilich are talking about without a lyric sheet in front of them.That said, if I'm particularly interested in a band I'll look up their lyrics sooner or later, and if they're actually decent I'll probably be able to piece them back together when I listen to the song from then on.
>>55165955Nice taste Anon!What do you think of The Crown latest?
>>55165999People like you are the worst
>>55154469frances the mute is surely their best. What are you waiting for?
>>55165779I wouldn't say you're supposed to understand the lyrics unless lyrics are one of the main aspect in the song you're listening to, in songs such as those the lyrics are pretty okay to understand. A good example of that would be last Nachtmystium album, every song is shrieked as most black metal but even without having to look the lyrics up they're coherent enough to make them out yourself.Although I suppose as you listen to more metal you'll eventually start making out most of the lyrics yourself, but no, I don't think you're supposed to understand them.
>>55165999>>55166036aight>>55166207The Crown latest is OK, I like the simplistic writing, unfortunately it doesn't really stay with me, and don't mention the horrible production. Maybe 6/10 at most
>>55165955+Frosthelm+Leviathan+Sepultura+Aborted~PeripheryPretty good taste anon. You should listen to VOLA - Inmazes, it's one of the better djent releases of the previous years, and certainly the best of this year so far:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8StWtCQ_Uo
>>55164115i really like one half of your chart and really hate the other.that means 5/10 i guessit makes me sad to see a beautiful OtWatM record surrounded by that hiphop and liturgy shite
>>55167040>all that atmoblackmah niggaalso Falls of Rauros are fuckin awesome, glad they're popular on here. They're one of the few bands from my state, plan on seeing them live in the next month or two
>>55166902To be honest I don't really listen to djent much, it's just that I used to listen to it back when I first listened to heavier music, so once in a blue moon I'd pop that record up again. Embedded track sounds pretty cool though
>>55167040ok since one of the albums surrounding it is acutal shit i will give you thatbut yea that otWatM album is fucking awesomealso i've only heard code once in my buddy's car but they were tight
>>55167119they really deserve the attention they get.i could not name a better forest rock song than banished
>>55167264yeah code does deliver some really emotionally tense tracks.and the vocal performance is always fucking amazing
the new Sickening Horror album is fucking FANTASTIC holy shitwasnt too into their previous stuff, but this is excellent, diverse weirdo death. great bass work, feels atheist-y
NEW TORTURE CHAIN WHEN???
>>55167040>KveldssangerGive Musk Ox - Woodfall a listen:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoWL22G8vKk
>>55167760already know about this, great stuffthe whole dark folk genre in it's entirety is amazingI will soon reach point where i own all relevant releases thoanybody have some super underground stuff i might not know about?
Can someone tell me the difference between European and American death metal in the 90s. There's a difference but I just can't pinpoint it or put it into words
>>55168024American metal is shit. European metal is great.
>>55168024swedeath had a lot more hardcore punk/d-beat influence. Florida death (which came first) was more rooted in extreme thrash. Also, with a few exceptions (Afflicted, Seance), Swedeath didn't go in the more experimental prog/tech direction like lots of Florida bands did.
will there ever be another guitar riffing genius in extreme metal as great as him?
>>55149097Whats the best Krallice album?
>>55167760That doesn't sound like metal at all to me.
>>55168187sounds about right. What about the Dutch scene? I always thought when it comes to those guys, they were pretty much the most accurate descriptors for what 'classic' 90s death metal should be. A lot of Death and Autopsy influence but updated contemporarily (for the time)... except for Sinister who were definitely very Florida like.
>>55168293It's not, it's dark folk, which why I mentioned Kveldssanger in my post. Nathanaël Larochette, the main dude from Musk Ox, has worked with some metal bands like Woods Of Ypres though
Can I get some charts about sludge and folk please?
>>55168439here's some atmosludge for you
>>55168439
>>55168292sm1 pls
>>55168502>>55168540So I don't have to ask this in other threads, is there a compiled gallery of all the charts?Also, can I get more Acid Bath type of sludge? Is that stoner? Or just too early to categorize?
>>55168566acid bath were pretty experimental as far as sludge goes and helped forming the general sound of it, try dax riggs and agents of oblivion
>>55168558My personal favourite is Diotima>>55168566You might want to check the wiki that's in the stickied thread. I haven't been there in a while, but I seem to remember there being some charts.
>>55168365i find it hard to generalize about the dutch scene. you have phlebotomized and creepmime who were just weird as fuck, pestilence decided to clone Death and release a couple prog albums, asphyx and sempiternal deathreign basically laid the groundwork for death/doom...
any good Sludge / Stoner albums been released so far this year ?
I don't like metal. Is there anything else I need for my folder?
>>55167621You got a link to that fam?
>>55168712maudlin of the Well
>>55168712YOBBlindeadOld Man GloomBongripper
>>55168712i sorta looked at it and don't see one theme, is there anything specific you need to round out the folder or do you just want some sort of reccomendations?
>>55168704Cowards - Rise To Infamy is currently my AOTY, but the vocals aren't for everyoneShepherd - Stereolithic RiffalocalypseElder - LoreSumac - The DealSaturnalia Temple - To The OtherHeiress - Of Great SorrowStoned Jesus - The Harvest>>55168712Russian Circles

>>55168743in class right now but i can give a youtube linkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak-O-CZNbVw
Anybody else hear the new Sulphur Aeon? One of my favorite albums of the year so far.
>>55168712Obscure Sphinx
>>55168875>classhow old are you
>>55168918i'm in an organic chemistry lab right now, i'm waiting for my chromatography process to finish
>>55168918You must lead a pretty sad life when you don't understand what higher education is.
>>55168907first album was better imo but gateway to the antisphere is by far my aoty
>>55155763This list is good if you want the most generic power metal possible. Lots of the artists on there have albums that are much more mature and diverse while still being power metal. I'm just going to recommend some other albums for some of the bands on the list to show a more diverse portfolio of the genre.Angra - Temple of ShadowsDream Evil - In the NightDark Moor - Autmnal or TarotSonata Arctica - Winterheart's Guild or Reckoning NightHelloween - The Time of the Oath or 7 Sinners (Keepers I and II are required power metal albums though)Falconer - Northwind or Among Beggars and ThievesIced Earth - Horror Show or Something Wicked This Way ComesSymphony X - Paradise Lost
>>55168502Here's an actually proper version of the chart for you.
>>55168970>not dropping out of high school to live in a war metal cult
>>55168970that's why i asked, i just wanted to know if he pursues a higher education.sorry to confuse you>>55168946sounds nice
>>55152079last monthi.. i swear im not a poser
>>55169082It's okay dude, we can be posers together.Also, Car Bomb is the tits.
>>55168979I've listened to about 5 of the albums on the list and so far I didnt like only 1 and that was by only a slight margin. It's always nice to have more metal though so thanks for the reccs because i'm very new to the genre.
>>55169110agree, car bomb needs more hype. only album i see mentioned is centralia, but w^w^^w^w is awesome.
This song is coolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-3CZu9jCrQ
>>55169110DillingeeeeeeerAlso this
I really like this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9Q3aQc2lD8How do I stop being a pleb?
>>55168875Danke
>>55160691Records only? I know a lot of tape distros with reasonable shipping.
>>55168979>>55169118I'd definitely agree with that. The list is more of an intro to the defining albums of the genre. I'll do the same thing:Sonata Arctica - EclipticaBlind Guardian - All of their discography, specifically Nightfall in Middle-Earth and A Night at the OperaHammerFall - Glory to the BraveKeldian - OutboundKamelot - The Black HaloLost Horizon - Awakening the WorldSabaton - The Art of WarTriosphere - The Heart of the MatterAs for stuff I like or other essential bands also try:Alestorm - Sunset on the Golden Age/Back through TimeDragonForce - Inhuman Rampage/Maximum OverloadNightwish - It's not strictly power metal, but their discog is also solid, esp. OnceNoble Beast - s/tDemons & Wizards - s/tManOwaR - Kings of MetalGloryhammer - Tales From the Kingdom of FifeAgain, that chart is comprehensive for the earlier stuff but there have been a lot of great bands since then. Sorry if it seems like a lot, I just sort of dumped my list of essentials on you. Enjoy!
>>55169454People still use tapes? What era are you from? I wasn't even aware they still sold records, either.
>>55169524tapes are still pretty big in underground bmfor all those "muh evil lo-fi demo tape" collectors
>>55169595Seems like they're being needlessly anachronistic. Do they even sell walkmans anymore? How do you play tapes nowadays? It's no wonder they're still underground when they needlessly cut off such a large portion of their fanbase. Why can't they just upload shitty home videos to Youtube or something?
>>55169680because youtube isn't trve kvlt
>>55169680Because it's a really cheap way to get memorabilia of music you like and support a band you like. I don't think people actually listen to the tapes or at least not primarily.
>>55169680You can go to any garage sale or pawn shop and basically get them for free, they are $10 on amazon.
>>55169680if only i knew...tape trading was very common in the early 90s thocould be nostalgia
>>55169524You my friend don't listen to very much black metal then. That is the main format for underground black metal and always has been. Some releases never even make it out of the tape realm regardless of popularity. Others are demos that end up as vinyl down the road.
>>55169680Are you serious? Walk into any thrift store and there are stacks of used decks. Are you not in the US? Only asking because it seems like this mindset is reserved for other countries where tapes may not be as plentiful.
>>55169524You are kidding?The black metal / death metal releases people are constantly creaming themselves on here for were first released as cassettes. Most recently / notably Bolzer, Misþyrming, Wulkanaz, Vorde, Caveman Cult.
Are there any charts for grindcore and related sub genres? I need guidance.
