death metal

[Proximate Platypus]

Much to my surprise, I recently started to like death metal (more specifically Amon Amarth (I also like Finntroll, if you could call that death metal... (them I've liked for a while now, and yes, I know it's more folk metal-ish, but they do have those death growls don't they?))). ........anywho, I was wondering how many other people out there like death metal (or for that matter, alternative types of metal such as folk, doom, or black!) Well, make yourselves heard. Also, if you have any recommendations for good death metal bands, do tell me, as I am new to the "scene".

..........

that is all.. for now.

[kelly]

folk-metal? wtf?

[Proximate Platypus]

Think Metallica meets middle earth (heavy metal folk-inspired riffs, often with folk music in the background). It's kind of weird and funny at the same time...

One of those genres that may take some getting used to, for some people.

[kelly]

Yeah, that sounds funny in an "oh my god I can't believe they wrote this" kinda way.

[phillyboy]

Metal's the ****. Can't say I ever heard folk metal.

[nikkisixxsburton]

glam metal is the shi but i like death metal too i like all kinds of rock classical music and country music are the only music groups i don't like and some rap is ****ty in my opinion too

[Proximate Platypus]

Yay... glam metal! I like Poison and Cinderella hehe.

[Bulletman]

any kind of metal is the ****, personally im way more into Slayer! i listen to Devildriver, Cradle of Filth, All That Remains, and etc. etc. etc.

[electricmisfit]

Metal!!! Metal!!! Metal!!!:evil: :evil: :evil:

[thedude]

been Slayer fan for awhiel now, but can't say i really got into the whoel death metal scene. there are some bands out there that i do liek a lot, liek PanzerChrist, Iniquity, and some other bands from Mighty Music (http://www.mightymusic.dk/satansyngel/index.html)

[LoserGuy]

"we have to drill our way to the center, to the "hippie core". If I can get on that stage, i can hook up this slayer CD. Hippies hate death metal, and it will be the only thing that could disperse the crowd."

Wow. South Park says Slayer is Death Metal so it must be true! :rolleyes:

Give me a break. Slayer is Thrash (search for it if you need validation). Next you're going to try to tell me early Metallica isn't Thrash as well. For Death/Thrash listen to Meshuggah (post Destroy/Erase/Improve).

[FoFwee]

Mehh Haven't been into old metal now.... Unfortunatly im in to Neu metal and ****... Breaking point... Slipknot... **** like that.... though still slayer rules...

[Proximate Platypus]

Maybe people think Slayer is Death Metal because of the name...?

[Bulletman]

I never said slayer was death metal, i said ALL metal is awesome, i KNOW alayer is thrash

[burnpianoxisland]

GORGASM

Methinks you'd like Bloodbath.

[TheAbomidableSnowman]

Slayer is the sickest metal band alive!!! I like all kinds of metal but mostly heavy hardcore sh*t. Bands like Chimaira, Devil Driver, It Dies Today, Dimmu Borgir, Archenemy, Machinehead, Exodus, and so on. Check out the music on my myspace page. myspace.com/3_2_1_Trigger. L8

[Grill]

Arch Enemy is the only Death Metal band unless you count Dimmu as Death/Black (I do as they aren't really Black Metal). At least you like Dark Tranquility. Mikael ****ing rules!

[PapaHerb]

How would Pantera be classified in all this?

and remember kids:
"Metel hell will drive you crazy"
"Metel hell will drive you mad"
"Bang your head"

[n1ckizg0d]

ive been a slayer fan for like 4 yrs now i think.....thats pretty much as hard as it gets lol

D*mn Bro, You've h*ll of a taste in music man. theres some pretty sick bands on your myspace. Iv'e got a question, What kind of Music is Porcupine Tree? I heard they were pretty bad a**.

Porcupine Tree is rock, kinda like Coldplay, but actually good. About the lightest music I listen to really. They helped with Opeth's Damnation and Deliverence albums. If you like Damnation you'll love Porcupine Tree. Their last album "Deadwing" is friggin awesome.

@PapaHerb - Pantera is Thrash

[playinthagame]

i like danzig...

[thedude]

Maybe people think Slayer is Death Metal because of the name...?

it throws peopel off, but liek i said, one or two songs they got seem to cross boundaries.

i played hockey wiht a kid who was realy in to Meshuggah. he woudl swap out the rap CD's that other gusy brought in and he'd pay that **** and go sit in the corner taping hsi stick. me and some hockey buddies quote him allt he tme for tellign my caoch to "die in a fire" and to "tounge jack my **** box." he was a funny mother ****er

hahaha I can spell tattoo correctly and you can't hahaha

Death Metal is worth listening to, hence the listening to it as opposed to beating the crap out of each other. If you think about it core mosh pits are a classic sign of self-loathing. Core kids know they listen to crap music, but they don't have the mental capacity to listen to Death and they know it so they punish themselves by going Bruce Lee on everyone they see. I'd prefer if they just stuck to cutting like the Emo kids but whatever.

[jetcash]

i like to listen to monowar to get pumped. those guys really believe they're pillaging vikings.

I agree with him, remember down the road, not across.

[cavlax1]

what ev i just thought it was funny when the lead singer of castaside (eastcoast hardcore) punched the lead singer of Lamb of God (Metal) in the face and the guy went unconcious and lost control of his bowels and literally **** him self he got hit so hard. But i will admit that wes is one big ass mother****er.

oh and i find it very weird that i've been on this sight for over a yr and ur the first person to notice that typo...... huh

i look at pocupine tree the same as Dream Theater (same lead singer) its more of prog. metal, one good band that gets a lot of insparation from both tree and theater is paradox, a bunch of teenagers jomming there nuts out.

personaly i enjoy dream theater verry much, and i also enjoy the kinda music one would see at OZZFEST (which was sick this year.) i love the mass rock, killswitch engage rocks!

Uh Porcupine Tree is fronted by Steve Wilson and Dream Theater by James LaBrie. Plus Porcupine Tree is most certainly not metal, they're progressive rock.

There were only a few bands worth seeing at Ozzfest this year. Arch Enemy, Soilwork, The Haunted, Mastodon and In Flames (for their old stuff). I didn't go because I've seen them all several times (except for Arch Enemy who was replaced by Aborted at Graspop) and couldn't be assed to stand in the sun for 20 minute sets. The Euro festival route is so much better than crap here.

@jetcash - Dream Evil is much better than Manowar in the gay cheesy power metal genre. Also were you aware that there's an actual gay Manowar cover band? :shock:

lol, that is way to damn funny

[Proximate Platypus]

Nothing like Manowar for a good laugh.
So do they actually take themselves seriously, or is it all just a joke?

[Grill]

You know, that's a good question. I've never seen them as I generally shy away from power metal but most power metal band tale themselves fairly seriously. Dream Evil is the one theatrical power metal band that I know doesn't take themselves seriously because they were manufactured for the purpose of playing cheesy power metal. Although the fact that Manowar have a "death to false metal" chant and the fact that they label every other band as "posers" leads me to believe that not only do they take themselves too seriously, but they're also jerks.

[IRideASnowboard154]

I like HARDCORE (real 'tough guy' hardcore)

but then again, I also like 'metal core' or whatever they call it in the 'scene' these days.

[TheAbomidableSnowman]

Damn, Thats funny, I never actually thought that people really liked ManOWar. What kind of Music would you guys consider God Forbid or Darkest Hour, Heaven Shall Burn, Bury your Dead and so on?

[IRideASnowboard154]

bury your dead <3
alot of people consider them 'tuff guy hxc'
i consider it music.

God Forbid- First album was death, now they're more thrash/metalcore oriented
Darkest Hour is death/thrash
Heaven Shall Burn and Bury Your dead are metalcore

ALL THAT REMAINS, shadows fall, and bleeding through are my 3 faves

Shadows Fall are thrash
All That Remains and Bleeding Through are metalcore (and suck)

Not a bad list, however there's almost no death metal on it (only big death band on there is COB). It's mostly power metal sprinkled with thrash, hardcore, black etc. Just trying to stay on topic.
Props for the Isis mention.

i don't like deathmetal. I really don't like any genres where the vocalists do anything but sing.

well grill, i took the first definition of the word sing. I am not aware that a death metal band's vocalist sings musical notes, if so, not that often. now, coming to think of it, i guess it might be musical notes, but the sound is much too coarse for me to enjoy. that, and i can't hear the lyrics to many death metal songs.

You really are showing your age. Understanding and tolerance comes with maturity, so for now I'll forgive your niavety. Technical or brutal death metal is what you're most likely referring to, which is difficult for a metal virgin to digest. I suggest you start expanding your musical knowledge with melodic death. Opeth or Dark Suns would be a good starting point and then you could move on to more aggressive melodic death bands such as Soilwork, In Flames, Children of Bodom and Arch Enemy.

I'm fairly sure I've listened to whatever kind of music you and enjoy and given it a fair shake, now it's time for you to do the same for me so next time we can at least have an intelligent discussion on the subject.

[IRideASnowboard154]

Say, seeing as you guys like Children of Bodom, anyone know what the name of the song that they play on headbangers ball of theirs is or in their commercial for their cd?

[Grill]

I don't watch MTV, but the first single for their latest album Are You Dead Yet? was "In Your Face" so I assume that's the song you're looking for.

[snowboardnguy90]

we can have an intelligent conversation. did i ever say "death metal sucks" or ne thing like that? i dont' think so, i just said i dont' like death metal. if you do, that's fine. i don't really think less/more of you.

[djstealth]

yeah I'll be rockin' everything from freestyle to death metal, but my specialty is trance

:rockon:

[snowboardnguy90]

i haven't listened to much. why would i listen to a lot of something that i dont' really like. however, my friend likes death metal and i decided to listen to a little. i've heard like 1/2 of the newest meshugah (sp?) cd, which i thought wasn't horrible, but definitely not one of the greatest things i've heard. he also got me tolisten to a few other cd's from miscellaneous bands.

[Grill]

Meshuggah owns all, but is tough to stomach. The drums are played 4/4 with the guitars played at 5/5/6 (still 16 beats per measure). Their newest album Catch 33 is actually only one song and can't truely be appreciated unless listened to in such a manner. Nevertheless, Meshuggah is a tough band to digest and certainly not for the death metal virgin (unless said virgin happend to be a huge Rush fan and is into composition and musicianship). I've always found that all good music needs to be digested. When I get a new album I'll listen to it 5-10 times before I try to form an opinion on it. Then again I understand that this won't work for everyone.

Give 'Blackwater Park' by Opeth a listen. If you can't find it then get at me on aim or msn and I'll be more than happy to give you a copy.

[snowboardnguy90]

sure. i still kinda don't know how the drums and guitars could be using two different time signatures... but then again musicians these days do a ****load of stuff outside the norm. i guess i'll give them a second listen... i need something to thrash to when i'm really pissed off.

[Grill]

Rush did it quite a bit.

The way Meshuggah does it is that a 5/5/6 is simply a syncopated 4/4, so technically it's still in time, it just has the side effect of unsettling the stomach.

[snowboardnguy90]

hmm i've don't know much about a 5/5/6 time signature, i've only seen/played to a time signature with 2 numbers. what's the third one mean?

[IRideASnowboard154]

hmm i've don't know much about a 5/5/6 time signature, i've only seen/played to a time signature with 2 numbers. what's the third one mean?
well while the drummer plays 4/4, for 4 bars, aka 16 beats
the guitar will play 5 beats, then 5 then 6
and they will both end at the same time
its not actually written 5/5/6 its just the divison of the beats, if that makes sence
