Metal you've been enjoying lately

[Deluge Of Sound]

I've been digging Conifer's latest, Crown Fire, pretty hard. They're hard to pin down, so I suggest that anyone who likes "post-metal" check 'em out.

I'm listening to alot of Opeth and Isis atm. And waiting impatiently for the new Mastodon, and Lamb of God.

you, sir, are my new best friend.

I just saw Opeth about 2 weeks ago in NYC, sooooo good.

I've never understood whats so appealing about metal, could somebody tell me why they like metal?

just out of curiosity, how did you wander into this thread if you're not a metal fan?

In my opinion, the attraction of metal is different for everyone - some people like the anger/rage/intensity, some people like the speed/technical aspects, others like the rhythms and riffs... it all depends. I like all of the above. Metal does something in my brain that other genres just don't do. It's not that it's better than other genres... it's just that there is nothing else like it!

Curiosity and boredom

Nightwish. I've also gotten out Pantera's Great Southern Trendkill for some reason. I listened to it most of the day yesterday. Vintersorg, too.

Opeth, Nevermore

 

[Mr_Sore_Fingerz]

Demon Hunter!!!!!



Seriously, check them out...they're so brutally awesome =)

I busted out Sepultura "Roots Bloody Roots" this week for some reason, such a great album

Bleh, if there's one kind of metal I REALLY dont like its black metal. I dont see ANY appeal at ALL.

I mean, sure, I listen to Burzum. But thats just because I find it hilarious, and its more ambient than anything else. But I think black metal just sounds like a chopper with a repetitive monotonous riff and screaming on top... Horrible.

hahahaha it's true, Varg and his fellows aren't exactly the pinnacle of metal music.

Maybe try Sweden? Lots of great bands!

I agree with that, but I love the black-metal scene and how much conviction they all have.

And I especially like "War" by Burzum, its painfully ironic.

I've been listening to DevilDriver, All shall Perish. And again listening to System of a Down, the greatest band ever, I got really sad when I found out, they most likly wont be gettting back together

I just ordered the newest CD of a band called Saviours from Oakland, California which also looks amazing along with two Melvins CDs

YEAH! My old band played with Saviours when they came to Pittsburgh, twas a great show. Glad to see them get props, they kind of have an "old school" sound about them I really dig.


I'm trying to make up my mind about what metal I like lately. I've been getting back into things, I was on a prog kick for a long time, I'm just now getting back into metal, even though I've always listened to it. It's been a lot of black metal recently.

I also just got Iced Earth's "Horror Show" as my first Iced Earth CD and the band sounds amazing, but I hate the vocals. It reminds me of Nickelback almost.

You take that back.

Seriously? Conifer? That is the worst name for a metal band ever.

 

[Nyarlathotep]

Ive been looking up really bad black metal on YouTube.... that's pretty much it for metal recently.

Oh and some Dimmu Vids:



Enjoy the torture of laughing your @$$ off

I just saw Bison the other night, and man can they crush it live. Fans of Mastodon would probably like them.

Isis has been the persevering band on iTunes for me.
