GH Metal Thread

[Waateva]

Partly in response to the GH Hip Hop Thread but also partly in honor of the great Lemmy Kilmister passing away, I wanted to start a metal thread.  Lets keep the pissing contests over what sub-genre(s) are the best to a minimum and just post anything you want related to the almighty metal genre!

Personally, I enjoy metal ranging from the more traditional bands like Black Sabbath, Metallica and Pantera to the less traditional bands like Belphegor, Kataklysm, Strapping Young Lad, and Pig Destroyer.

No love for the metals yourself?  I would think that the girlshark would be interested, especially since this year a research group accidentally discovered that sharks are attracted to vibrations of death metal music played underwater.

I used to be very into metal. My brain just isn't functioning enough to post a good reply yet.

I wanted to throw in my last.fm profile, but I realized I haven't utilized it in ages

Don't feel bad, my brain is usually like that but I just post anyways

After posting this I realized it had been too long since I had listened to any SYL, which then made me realize that 'City' is almost 20 years old!  Amazing album which seemed to be way ahead of its time.

[rainb1ood]

Metal fan since high school here, listened to a lot of metal sub genres from thrash, death, black, metalcore, power, etc. Discovered Alestorm this year and have been enjoying them.

Looking forward to see Cannibal Corpse and Cryptopsy this March at Orlando, FL!

[madhias]

Alestorm is great, that's true. I like a lot of bands, and if it is metal or not I don't care that much. I like Kyuss, Graveyard, Color Haze, in general stoner rock. And psychedelic rock!

That will a good show!  I looked at going as they are coming to Detroit in February but its smack dab in the middle of tax season

Any Electric Wizard at all?

[madhias]

Did not know about Electric Wizard! Just looked some images and read the wiki page. Doom?

[jerue]

DJENT

now that's out of the way

let's talk about Between the motha'****** Buried and Me

[trizkut]

btbam
horse the band
every time i die
scale the summit
blotted science

when i'm in the rare mood to listen to power metal, i'll turn on some hammerfall or stratovarius, but really all their songs start to sound the same after a while

[suicidal_orange]

I should post something in this thead as my favourite music is broadly classified as metal, but if I can't hear the words (not necessarily understand them if they're foreign) I'm not interested so I generally steer clear of the heaviest stuff.   Here's a varied selection of bands I listen to who've not been mentioned so far

Apocalyptica (old stuff)
Darkest Era
Diablo Swing Orchestra
Ensiferum
Isis
Neurosis
Shadow Gallery
Soil (older is better)
Swallow the Sun

[rowdy]

Nine Inch Nails

Bella Morte

[Halverson]

+1 Iron Maiden and Cradle of Filth!

AC/DC

Black Sabbath

Too many I have forgotten over the years.

Of course me and rowdy are besties!

Seeing iron maiden was my first concert. Filled my truck with friends at 16 and drove 8 hours for it. Even got served booze at several places, and we must have looked 12!

[FreeCopy]

I listen to all kinds of metal. Grew up on it really. My dad is an old metal head. Even coming up on 60 it's cool to show him stuff now and even take him to some concerts.

Some favorites off the top of my head that I didn't see listed:

Ministry
Amon Amarth
Naibomb
Sepultura
Fear Factory
Mortician
Six Feet Under
Brujeria
Slayer

[bocahgundul]

my favorite are alumunium not too expensive like titanium but enough for a board

EDIT: metal song oh **** should have read the post first my favorite is amoeba by adolescent

[Waateva]

Did not know about Electric Wizard! Just looked some images and read the wiki page. Doom?

Their brand of doom combines sludge and stoner metal together, with a sound somewhat similar to Kyuss just slower and heavier.  You might also like Sleep as they are considered by many to be the seminal stoner metal band.  Also, shout-out to Kyuss because I love Queens of the Stone Age too

Nice thread

• Protest the Hero
• Type O Negative

I used to listen to quite a few of those bands a lot back in the days of vanilla WoW.  Me and my roommate were amazed at how well In Flames, Nightwish, Children of Bodom and Nevermore seemed to go with seemingly endless hours of raiding.  I will admit to you and jerue that I haven't listened much to Between the Buried and Me for whatever reason, but it appears I should check them out.

[Skuloth]

In case any of you weren't aware:

Fleshgod apocalypse released a song from their upcoming album today

I'm pretty hyped for the full album.

[demik]

limp bizkit is my favorite rock band

[azhdar]

limp bizkit is my favorite rock band

They trully rocked this summer when I saw them live.

I'll write something down sometime here, but hardcore and industrial are my favorites genre atm

[nathanrosspowell]

I've slipped out of the 'know' a bit over the last few years. Right now I find myself only listening to bands I've know for quite a while... I should fix that.

Some of these cross over into other generes other the straight metal, but w/e:

Cult of Luna - favorite band of all time. Whole back catalog is great. 'The Beyond' changed my whole view on heavy music
Isis - RIP, amazing live band.
Wolves in the Throne Room - one of the best live performances I've seen in the last few years
Baroness - new album is killer
High on Fire - unstoppable chugging
Clutch - drinking and rocking go hand in hand
3 Inches of Blood - not sure of their newer stuff, but about 8-9 years ago they were shredding
Animals as Leaders - best tech shred in the game
Between the Buried and Me - new ablums are good, but a while back they opened for Dillinger Escape plan and played 5 songs off 'Colors' in a row, flawless
The Ocean -  these guys crashed at my place before 
Mastodon - Pretty much all great stuff
The Black Dahlia Murder - my fave from the melodic death metal style
Pig Destroyer - sick, their later stuff is a lot easier to listen to and have some awesome grooves

<3 Cult of Luna and Wolves in the Throne Room.  The Watchtower off of The Beyond was my go-to jam for awhile

[hwood34]

So for whoever has signed up for Protest the Hero's bandcamp thing, how have you been liking the new music? I've absolutely loved all three songs so far, I think Ragged Tooth is still my favorite (but Cold Water is a close second). I also really love that they're doing different art for each release (all of which has been great).

On another note, we're coming up on ten years since the last Tool album. At this point I feel like they're just going to keep trolling us til 2020...

[intelli78]

Just heard Animals as Leaders, holy **** they are good.

[Glenmael]

\m/

- Scar Symmetry
- Solution .45

Yeah, Abasi has undeniable talent!

[darkclone24]

Love me some Djent - tech/math/prog metal in general really. Periphery, Volumes, Monuments, Vildhjarta, Uneven Structure, Animals As Leaders, Dream Theatre, Dying Fetus, Necrophagist.

Still go back and listen to the stuff I listened to as a teen though; Lamb of God, Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet For My Valentine, Sylosis.

Best live band has to be Metallica though.

[TalkingTree]

I mainly listen to Doom metal (especially subgenres such as Funeral and Sludge), but also to Industrial and Death.
There are too many bands to list but I share my library on Soulseek, if anyone is interested.

[deductivemonkee]

This is my personal favourite.





^heh.

[rainb1ood]

Speaking of technical, this is one of my favorite

[Solo]

[Waateva]

[Glenmael]

Solid hair head work!

[Vittra]

Mostly listen to BM, but quite a bit of death, doom, and trad too.

My avatar is from Avichi's The Devil's Fractal.

Rather than bore people with the incredibly niche BM stuff I listen to, here's some great traditional doom that came out in 2015:

Crypt Sermon - Out of the Garden

[jaffers]

Recently I've been more and more into SDBM cause its so chilled out, nice long growls and amazing guitar solos, my current favourite two of the genre/same sound is Thy Light and Foreresse
