Wiccus Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I will show up in the next few days with my review of your posts and some of my own holy words of metal glory. I have been in quiet meditation, channeling much metal glory into my blackened heart. Soon I will unleash upon you the gift of soul obliterating metal destruction.

Wiccus Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Okay I begin the aural obliteration I promised you. Here are the bands I have been listening to lately. Also I really like both of the bands you posted Nathan. The seem like they are worth a look. New Aborted is pretty standard fare as far as grindy gore death metal goes and isn't too terribly different from their previous albums but that doesn't mean I don't love it just as much as their previous releases. Lots of relentless horror riddled brutality on this album. The same goes for the new Vader. Nothing new really though they have a few more epic songs but they are still just as legendarily badass as ever. Allegaeon always destroys your brain with awesome technicality and metal about space and physics. If you ever need a song that has keyboards that are so overdriven they make you feel confident enough to build a time machine, go back in time and punch a T Rex in the face on top of a mountain in a lighting storm while you have a lightning rod strapped to your back, then this song is for you. (also this album has guest vocals from Hansi Kursch of Blind Guardian and Britney Slayes of Unleash the Archers who happens to be one of my future wives. And it is a sweet concept album about an android) This one goes out to my homeboy Satan. This band is freaking great! Classic raw black metal sound with their own stylistic approach that makes it much easier to digest for those that don't typically like black metal Legendary album by one of the most important bands in metal. I finally got around to picking this album up after years of knowing I really needed to give it a listen. Super sweet chuggy doomy mostly instrumental stoner metal. Super good questing music! The new Mastodon album is great all the way through with some really catchy tunes and some heavy stuff too. Plus this video should appeal to everyone on these forums. I already posted a song by Ne Obliviscaris once before but I will again. There is a possibility of these guys being my new favorite band. Long progy black metaly violin songs that really just take you on an epic journey. Alestorm never get old. This is probably their best song about booze which they have a lot of. This is another one of my future wives. The next several songs will be by bands that are doing their best to make sure that old school heavy metal, hard rock and psychedelic rock from the 60s and 70s stay alive. Also they are really badass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hgWxb1bXkE One of the better band names I have ever heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSpsffboOAc Awesome album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5von-_FI0U And now for something not metal at all just to throw you through a loop and make you question if you are even still in your own universe because Joey is recommending a non metal band. Here is an electronic artist called Ink Midget. The flow and atmosphere of his songs are awesome. This will definitely be some great video game music. https://soundcloud.com/exitab/ink-midget-night-float 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathonicus Posted August 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Holy.... way to bring the thundah, Joey! I am going to have a lot of music to accompany my projects this weekend. Glad you like Spectre - I really dig them. I think they are a relatively small-time band, but wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Warwick Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Thought I'd take advantage of the necromancy to get in on this thread. I've got a Viking riding mammoths: Stumbled on this a while back, it has an orchestral version as well if you're not a fan of the voice: http://youtu.be/y_ts8cPScXM My old favorites Ensiferum, saw them along with Tyr at Paganfest a while back, much merriment was had: Now to look through this ancient thread for some glorious hard-hitting metal to paint by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarbicus Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I love Karnivool and the bass tone during this live concert makes me moist. Plus, there is not such thing as enough Gojira! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxfbzdoueVg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intrizic Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I need your knowledge and wisdom oh sages of 'The Metal': What properties of a song make it "Death Metal"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathonicus Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Joey, I really dig that "At The Gates" album. Intrizic, as I understand it, Death Metal focuses largely on technical skill - fast guitar riffs and complicated rhythms, usually with growly or screamy vocals and often covering darker themes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiccus Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Death metal is generally very low growly metal. Death growls as they are called are very low guttural yells. Screaming does happen but it is generally dominated by very guttural vocals. As far as the music goes then blast beats are a mainstay of death. Blast beats are fairly common throughout metal but death metal uses them very frequently. Guitars are typically tuned very low and played very fast. Hackneyed is a pretty good example of typical death metal. There are of course little tweaks here and there that different artists put in that make it their own unique distinct thing. This is just a rough idea of your average death band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiccus Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Also the lyrics of death metal are typically very violent. Whether they are about serial killers or horrible necrotic abominations eating peoples flesh, there is generally a lot of blood and gore in death metal. In fact there are some death metal bands that are often referred to as "gore metal". Cannibal Corpse and Aborted are both big gore bands. Not all death metal is violent but in general you will usually find some sort of killing or maiming in a death metal song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
