Hey, looking for recommendations of songs my band can learn and perhaps perform. We play various metal types, but focus on death, black, progressive, and traditional/doom metal.
List so far:
Black Sabbath - Hand of Doom
Black Sabbath - Supernaut
Black Sabbath - NIB
Celtic Frost - Circle of The Tyrants
Bathory - Call From The Grave
Bathory - A Fine Day To Die
Death - Pull The Plug
Mastodon - (few songs partially learnt)

I would add some "mainstream" (hate that word!) metal. some of the popular Rob/White Zombie, Disturbed, Marlyn Manson, drowning pool,and that sorta thing. It's still metal, but most people recognize it -so you'll widen you fan base to more than just the hardcore doom fans.

We're not allowed in any of the mainstream venues anymore... :whistle:
Regardless, I'd rather play what I love and appeal to the extreme and true metalheads rather than just some Top 40 weekend headbangers.

Hhahaaa! I getcha! In that case I'd throw in some testament, Exodus, Black Trip (a new vintage flavored death metal band) Texas Hippie Coalition, and Crowbar. Type O if anyone can sing it

Drop all the screamy, girly metal and add some Maiden, Dio, and Megadeth.

You insult those 3 bands by using them in your 0/10 troll post. Troll harder bro.

@HeavyAxe
Why not throw in a guaranteed crowd pleaser like some old school Slayer? Maybe something like The Antichrist, Praise of Death, or Chemical Warfare? Or maybe even just something like Black Metal by Venom. Just an idea.

Sounds like a badass show though, I'd go!

Told my drummer to start working on his double bass work for Where The Slime Live! We'll probably do an Entombed cover, not sure which song though yet.
