Metal!!!

[Killjoy]

Does metal get any love around these parts. I am really excited about the new Lamb Of God next month. Big Slayer fan too.

So who else listens to Morbid Angel on thier way to herf with thier buddies???

[NCRadioMan]

Dude, you didn't say it right................

SLAYER!!!!!!

[MedicCook]

I use to be big into metal but have progressed more towards the classic rocks the last few years.

[Kreth]

Been a Metallica fan since Master of Puppets, despite their last few albums. The new one is pretty good. Also was singing for a local band until we had some personnel issues (1 suicide, 1 prima donna, and 1 desertion). I'm into Metallica, Anthrax, Godsmack, Pantera, Maiden, Sabbath, Corrosion of Conformity, Dio, Exodus, Sevendust, etc.

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

I was in a hxc band in highschool. We were lined up to play with Dead to Fall in iowa but things fell through. I listened to a lot of hxc in highschool such as, Dead to Fall, Norma Jean, Underoath, From Autumn to Ashes, Alexisonfire, With Honor, Throwdown. Now its all classic rock.

[adampc22]

man i am a metal fan but metalcore and hard core deathcore stuff like that

[Cyanide]

I used to listen to metal until it progessed into hair metal and then sidestepped straight into Alanis Morrisette and on to Britney Spears....by that point I figured the metal scene had lost its path and so I converted to Classical. Chopin kicks all those bands asses!!!

Cheers

[Godofgravity]

Hell yeah metal! Big fan of all kinds of metal. Listen to a lot of Slayer, Opeth, Machine Head, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Nile, Fear Factory and just about any non-mallcore sh!t metal.

Great band. Also a big fan of Hate Eternal.

[Godofgravity]

haha, oops, wasn't trying to call anyone out on their metal tastes.

Lots of guys (and gals?) here with great tastes in a variety of metal. We should make a CA Metal Militia or something.

[Kreth]

Any Dethklok fans?

[Killjoy]

Any Dethklok fans?

I have seen them live twice. Big Gene Hoglan fan, actually big Strapping Young Lad fan. It was wierd, they played in total darkness and showed an animated film of them playing. wierd

I also really like The Haunted, At the Gates...Carcass, all the Gothenburg stuff really. I am a bit old school so I listen to alot of Venom and the Possessed, Death Angel and Testament too.

I love hardcore too, hatebreed...Sick Of It All, Dillinger Escape Plan, Coalesce. Madball...Bane...Hope Conspiracy. At work right now I am listening to Gojira...If you dont know then definately worth checking out.

[goalie204]

Dethklok is ok.

Last concert i went to was In flames, As I lay dying, trivium, cannibal corpse, gwar, and a bunch of other crappy bands. Trivium sucks live, and now i hate them. In flames and As i lay dying were amazing tho.

There is a concert coming up with bodem, and a bunch of other awesome bands, can't remember who. Don't know if i wanna go, i'm so old now :x

Gojira and hatebreed are tight, haven't heard of some of those other bands you've named

[pnoon]

In flames and As i lay dying were amazing tho.



As I Lay Dying?
:hm

I've heard a lot of people say the Dethklok live show really sucked. Gotta love the TV show though.

[goalie204]

:hm

yes

[goalie204]

got the new lamb of god, album is called wrath. Download styles. Release date is feb 24th.

[floydpink]

I have no idea what you guys are talking bout with this lamb stuff.

I'm so old I still consider Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden to be metal which probaly qualifies me to be uncool and out of touch.:cool2:

[silentjon]

One of the best concerts I've seen to date was Maiden on the Brave New World tour. It was the first US date, at MSG. Dickinson and Adrian Smith had just rejoined the band. Openers were Halford and Queensryche.

want a link to dl the album?

[Killjoy]

I would love a link lol!!!

[The Professor]

Used to listen to metal as a kid, then stopped for some reason. Started listening again for the gym b/c it really gets me amp'd up. :ze

[Killjoy]

wicked sweet!!!!

[tobii3]

:tpd:

and to think, I have albums (yes, ALBUMS) from some groups that broke up BEFORE most of these "new" bands and members were even BORN.

:tg

[croatan]

Guys, I've removed the download link. Looks like copyright infringement to me. And we can't have links to illegally download content on here.

[LasciviousXXX]

BIG Metal-head here as well. Been to so many Metal shows its hard to even count anymore.

Seen so many awesome metal bands and feel lucky to have seen Pantera before they split up. Saw Superjoint Ritual and DOWN too so its all good :D

Speaking of Lamb of God, their concerts are so wicked! I'm pretty sure I went deaf after their show for a week and I've been to tons of metal shows but they take the cake for loudest.

Hatebreed is the most insane pit I've ever been in though.

Anybody pick up the new Amon Amarth album? It rocks!!!

[Killjoy]

I have seen Hatebreed 6 times..first time was in 1997. Seen Lamb of God 5 times. Amon Amart is okish..but really that into them. I am really digging the new God Forbid and cant wait for the new Gojira that is on its way. I was (an am ) a huge Pantera fan, I saw them like 6 times or so lol...saw Damage Plan twice

(press credentials are a wonderful thing)

[Godofgravity]

...cant wait for the new Gojira that is on its way.

Another new Gojira? "The Way of All Flesh" just came out a couple months ago. Don't get me wrong, love them and another new album would be sweet, just seems too soon.

[Killjoy]

I have it shipped to the house lol!!!

they are going to be headlining a tour

[Godofgravity]

Damn, so far no US stops on that tour. But the European dates end in spring so maybe a summer tour.

[goalie204]

Anybody pick up the new Amon Amarth album? It rocks!!!

Yes. It's F*%#ing amazing.

[Nick]

Lamb of god put out their best album when they were called Burn the Priest. Ever since then they are just decent. Ok gonna list some bands here take a breath.

Opeth, Amon Amarth, Between the Buried and Me, In Flames, Dark Tranquility, At the Gates, Arch Enemy, Children of Bodom, Blind Guardian, Demons and Wizards, Bolt Thrower, Wintersun, NightWish (old singer, new singer sucks), Light this City, Bury Your Dead, Burn the Priest, Mortal Treason, Ensiferum, Norther, Hammerfall, Iced Earth, Kamelot, Zao.

I know there's more just can't think of them right now.

[goalie204]

imo a lot of the bands you named are just terrible, and i totally disagree with your LOG statment. Just my opinion.

[Nick]

You are entitled to your opinion. I didn't say LOG is bad but I thought they were better when they were Burn the Preist.

I was trying to add some bands to the list that hadn't been mentioned as much. I know some of them had been mentioned but if any one is curious they can go have a listen. I wasn't looking for criticism, lord knows I get enough of that from my girl friend.

[Godofgravity]

Heh, well I'm gunna take the opposite opinion and say you're list rocks. One of the best shows I've been to had Opeth and Dark Tranquility in the line up (Devil Driver was there too, but they were better as Coal Chamber). Props for Ensefirum in the list too, consider them a little known band so it's always cool to see when people have heard of them.

I also feel you pain about girlfriend criticism, mine likes country:pu

[Nick]

I grew up on country and bluegrass and still listen to it quite a bit. I only listen to old stuff though like Hank2, Merle, George Jones, Waylon and Willy, John Anderson, Chris Ledoux, etc.

If you like ensiferum you might like Norther and Wintersun.

[goalie204]

sorry i didn't mean to come off as a d-bag, like i said it was just my opinion, and we're all certainly entitled to them. I'm sure a lot of the bands i like you would hate too, no hard feelings man

[Nick]

I knew you weren't trying to insult me. What's great about things like music and tobacco is that you love what you love and don't care what anyone else thinks.

[goalie204]

Exactly, you like mortal treason, i don't because their christian metal and talk about christ

to each their own right

[floydpink]

pm me if you want the lamb of god album link

[Kreth]

pm me if you want the lamb of god album link

Yeah, why buy it and support the bands you like? :rolleyes:

[Killjoy]

I know there's more just can't think of them right now.

Opeth (Blackwater park is one of my faves!!!)
In Flames (way commercial for the genre..but stellar)
Dark Tranquility (phenomenal)
Children of Bodom (why have a keyboardist playing rythym guitar parts?..overrated)
Blind Guardian (Maiden much???Jebus!!!)
Demons and Wizards (Blind Guardian much?)
Bolt Thrower (underrated, but i dont like them)
Wintersun (who?)
Nightwish (just not my thing)
Light this city (heard of them..but have not heard them)
Burn the Priest (awesome..but not New American Gospel awesome)
Bury your dead (great stuff in that Hatebreed vein)
Mortal Treason (who?)
Ensiferum (who?)
Norther (who?)
Hammerfall (might as well show up wearing manowar t-shirts to every show)
Iced earth (horrorshow is great..but only when I cant find my copy of Peice of Mind)
Kamelot (I heard they would not let you into thier shows without a pocket full of d20's)
Zao (the best band no one has heard of...period...)

I would also like to say everyone should check out God Forbid too. The Haunted are one of my favourite bands as well.

[goalie204]

Yeah, why buy it and support the bands you like? :rolleyes:

Who said i wasn't going to buy it? Guess what, i can't buy it till Feb 24th when it's released.

[goalie204]

Some of the bands i like, and this is only a taste:

All that remains, Amon Amarth, Caliban, Bodom, Devildriver, Kalmah, Killswitch engage, Parkway drive. I have a lot at home, i'm at work atm tho.

[Nick]

If you have never heard of Wintersun, Ensiferum, or Norther I suggest you find them and have a listen.

Goalie: I like Mortal Treason because they are a really talented band not because they are christian. Some bands I left off the list were Behemoth, Dimmu Borgir, and At the Throne of Judgement.

[Godofgravity]

Children of Bodom (why have a keyboardist playing rythym guitar parts?..overrated)

So they can do the best damn cover of 'The Final Countdown' ever of course :r

[silentjon]

If you have never heard of Wintersun, Ensiferum, or Norther I suggest you find them and have a listen.



These are great bands. :tu

[silentjon]

Here are some other obscure (to most people) bands I like:
Agalloch, Asmegin, Borknagar, Ensiferum, Kalmah, Falkenbach, Into Eternity, Finntroll, Callenish Circle, Melechesh, Moonsorrow, Orphaned Land, Thyrfing, Enslaved, Neuraxis, Edge of Sanity, Omnium Gatherum

[Godofgravity]

Into Eternity is friggin sweet. Finntroll...well, all I have to say is if you've never heard of them, just watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGywo81G6lk

Love it or hate it, it's a hilarious video.

[muziq]

I'm more doom/drudge/sludge metal: Sunn0))), Boris, Earth, Pharoah Overlord, Om, Nadja, etc. Don't mind me some proggy metal in the form of Pelican, Isis, and Red Sparowes, but that's less and less these days.

Last show was Om and it was deathly loud...amazing that a single guitar and drum kit can nearly blow your eardrums out.

I have heard and listened to wintersun, ensiferum and norther. I have some ensiferum, but am not a big fan of any of them.

I liked the mortal treason music that i downloaded, the music was great, and they are talented musicians, but as soon as i started hearing christ this and jesus that, I lost interest. I can't stand that sh1t.

Was going to ask if anyone was into stuff like this. I'm a fan of doom/drudge/drone stuff like Asunder, Ataraxie, Catacombs, Comatose Vigil, Saturnus, Until Death Overtakes Me, Colosseum, and Slumber. Isis is great too.

[LasciviousXXX]

, Callenish Circle,

I absolutely LOVED Callenish Circle's last album and was super bummed when I heard they broke up. I was just starting to get into them :)

[mosesbotbol]

Wow, never heard of any of these groups. Must be getting old.

[csbrewfisher]

You guts like metal? Here's (http://www.metal-observer.com/articles.php?lid=1&sid=6&id=14816) my son's band...

That's all stuff I'm not as familiar with, but I move slow. :r

[Genetic Defect]

metal is such a blanket genre and some of it opnion as to what is metal.

[Godofgravity]

That's all stuff I'm not as familiar with, but I move slow. :r

:r not surprised, the only one from your list I've heard of is Sunn0))). There seems to be a ton of bands in this sub-genre. Maybe it's because anyone with a guitar and garage band can record a power-chord being held for 5minutes over white noise.

[Nick]

I try not to let things like that affect me and what I listen to. If I think a band has talent and I enjoy listening to them that's all I care about, I don't pay attention to their politics or beliefs.

[LasciviousXXX]

Generally Christian and Metal have never really gone together. However lately there have been quite a few Christian Metal bands that I've very much enjoyed. And not being a Christian myself I must say, its all about the music.

If you get a chance, check 'em out:

Norma Jean (my favorite Christian Metal band)
UnderOath
Haste the Day

[Nick]

I know of all of those, a little more HXC than metal. Norma Jean is fun to listen to but Underoath is a little annoying to me.

[muziq]

:r not surprised, the only one from your list I've heard of is Sunn0))). There seems to be a ton of bands in this sub-genre. Maybe it's because anyone with a guitar and garage band can record a power-chord being held for 5minutes over white noise.

Yeah, there's definintely a lot of crap in this subgenre out there, but every now and then you come across something like Sunn0))) & Boris' Altar from last year, and you have a revelatory experience. I've been digging deep into Nadja/Aidan Baker this last year for just that reason...dude is ridiculously prolific (like 10-15 albums per year under various monikers) and each one is full of epic melodies that rip dark and dank-like. The recent split release he did with Atavist and Satori is a great example.

[goalie204]

I try not to let things like that affect me and what I listen to. If I think a band has talent and I enjoy listening to them that's all I care about, I don't pay attention to their politics or beliefs.

A lot of the bands i listen to, i can't hear the lyrics. As a musician by blood and formerly of practice, my big thing is the music. I don't often care about lyrics. But because of my views on religion, I don't like to hear about "jesus" or "christ" in the way they scream about it, and i can hear it. Their music is great like i said, but hearing this jesus crap ruins it for me sometimes. In this case it did. I still have the albums, so i'm going to give them another shot, but if in every song i hear that crap, nothx.

[goalie204]

The best thing about this thread is that I'm always looking for new metal to listen to. I have listened to a lot of the bands mentioned here, but a lot i have never heard of and look forward to checking out their stuff in hopes that I love some of them.

[Killjoy]

I would also like to suggest checking out Ghoultown and Maltoro, on a completely different vein

[goalie204]

I listen to a spread of different types of metal, Nevermore, Beneath the massacre, necrophagist, suffocation, megadeth, iced earth, those are just some of the cd's that I have been listening to lately

[Aldebaran]

Wow I am suprised I did not see this topic before. Outside of drone and electronic this is probably my most listened to genre of music. I am in love with sludge, black metal, death/doom and funeral doom.

I figure though most of you enjoy thrash and [ower so I would recommend Morbid Saint - Spectrum of Death for thrash and Jag Panzer - Ample Destruction for power.

In case anyone on here has one.

[goalie204]

i just like music that owns, i don't do the whole categorizing, cuz frankly, i'm not familiar with whats what. I listen to a lot of bands and i dont know if they fall under heavy metal, or water bottle metal (i made that up) i just like what i like :D

retards :) :p

[Toasted Coastie]

I'm a pretty rabid Dream Theater and Megadeth fan. Loved Metallica until the "Black" album, then kind of drifted away because they started to suck, until this new album. Also a pretty big Opeth fan. Have seen them all multiple times.

Love all the usual suspects as well, Slayer, Maiden, Dio, Rainbow w/Dio, Sabbath w/Dio, Pantera and on and on. I don't get into too much of the guteral death metal except for Opeth.

Symphony X is fairly fantastic as well.

I've started to move more to Progressive, going to see Porcupine Tree next month and can't wait.

I'm not familiar. Tho I wish I was. I have a recording studio in Jersey. We could probably talk music just as much as cigars! Scary, right?

Wow. Interesting thread.

OK, I checked out quite a few of the bands in this thread and I realized something: I just can't get into most of this newer stuff.

It seems like these bands are just going out of their way to sound "epic" or whatever. Classic giants of metal like Maiden, Dio, etc. didn't have to try. They just ARE epic (or were in the case of Dio -- RIP).

A lot of these bands today just try as hard as they can to jam as many sub-genres of metal into ONE song. And I just can't get into it.

That being said, some of the metal bands I like are: Slayer, W.A.S.P., Maiden, Testament, Trouble, Death Angel, Bolt Thrower, System of a Down, High On Fire...

Mark, the genres of Metal are so vast now it's like listening to 10 completely different styles. I hear what your saying and for some bands it's absolutely true but for others, it's a new style and way of writing.

One thing you'll usually find in common, all those bands you can't really get into, they just about all give props to the fathers of metal, such as the ones you mentioned.
