Wiccus Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 And Nathan is right about the technicality. If you are in a metal band to hone your musical skills then the best musicians tend to join progressive or "prog" metal bands or they join technical death metal or "tech death" bands. Some such as Necrophagist are a good example of tech death whereas the band i posted previously is more traditional death. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathonicus Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Though if the ultraviolent thing isn't your cuppa, two of my favorite Death Metal bands are The Faceless: Kinda SicFi Death Metal Gojira: Environmentalist-philosopher Death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are a few of my favorites: METAL Isn't it amazing that we live in an age where we can find this type of music? I mean, not just that Death Metal exists, but that there are multiple subgenres of Death Metal with multiple artists turning out music in them - it's incredible. I've been seeing an article go around on Facebook about how this is the first year in something like 4 decades that an album has not gone Platinum, and while the mass-appeal market struggles, I think the niche-markets flourish. At least I hope that all these bands turning out excellent stuff can make it. Edit: Joey, thanks for turning me on to Allgaeon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarbicus Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Nathonica, you are a true metal scholar and metal gentleman! Yeah, benchmarks like Platinum sales are irrelevant and that has left a ton of room good "non mainstream" music. Language warning: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yarbicus Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Metal is mostly male all around but there are some great female players, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherbert Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 just found these guys, the lead singer suffers from super bad "im an angry metal head and am scary" face, but the music isn't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathonicus Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 not trolling: is a male lead vocal the only way to do good metal? Not in my opinion. One of my very favorite bands is this Russian Folk Metal band: I think she nails the death-vocals and also has a beautiful, clear singing voice. But then again, I'm partial to Russian blondes. Also, this beautiful Austrian vocalist doesn't do death vocals, but the band certainly has Metal Tendencies, though it really defies classification. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathonicus Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Monsters and Metal is a podcast I listen to from time to time, and they did a fan poll about the top Mistress of Metal. Attached are their brackets, with scads of female-led metal bands. While I don't agree with their fans (seriously, who let Huntress get that far? They're TERRIBLE!), it is at least a starting point for lots of research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiccus Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Yeah King of Asgard is sweet. I have listened to them for a few years now. Awesome viking death metal. Also HOLY BALLS!

Ser Warwick Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Now I wouldn't call myself an expert, but it does make me wonder where metal begins and ends as a genre. It seems as if it has evolved into something hard to define as more subgenres crop up, which in my opinion can only be a good thing. To me it encompasses most of the hard hitting, fast-paced music I enjoy subjecting my ears to, lyrics optional. Your mileage may vary, but does anyone know of further bands they enjoy that would commonly include guitar like this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathonicus Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Scipiano, I don't really know about that.... maybe look at some of the industrial metal bands out there? Joey, I just got the new DTP/Ziltoid album - you wanna borrow the cds on Tuesday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
