Can't beat that shit

 

[Aggressor and Usurper]

Death and thrash are my favourite genres, though my favourite bands are Fear Factory and Mastodon. I'll be seeing Iron Maiden in a few days...

As for what I DON'T like, metalcore. Ugh. Five Finger Death Punch and Bullet For My Valentine really are loathsomely bad. And the FANS.

But let's not forget deathcore and how br00tal the stupid fanboys think they are. Most of them are even worse than a typical metalcore band.

True. Not all deathcore is bad though...BMTH is death metal for You Me At Six fans, but whatever.

Complete stab in the dark.. but "Iron Maiden in a few days" Sonisphere by any chance?

Also Five Finger Death Punch isn't that bad... though BFMV annoys me right now.

Sadly not, Dublin 02 Arena. Still psyched though.
I really hate Death Punch. The singer and bassist are complete morons. Music is crap generic metalcore, and the lyrics are either whiny or skull numbingly macho. So yeah. X_X

As a great man once said *to the cores* FUCK.THAT.SHIT. had to go to mayhem last year just for slayer *met them hell yeah* cannibal corpse *got a pick from alex and pic with corpse grinder* and behemoth *nergal=badass* but there was whitechpael job for a shitboy bullet for my suckintine black suckass myrder and then a bunch of NU metal to... *shudders* tomorrow going to summer slaughter 2 or 3 grindcore bands there

Don't like most cores. Mathcore and grindcore are good, but other than that...Corpsegrinder scares me (HIS NECK IS THICKER THAN HIS HEAD. WHAT. THE. FUCK) and I don't really like Cannibal Corpse. Prefer Carcass or Morbid Angel. I made the point about deathcore earlier.

 

[Macheteswordgun]

I listen to anything that's awesome...

Right now that's Korn, Avenged Sevenfold, Sum 41 and throw in some classic Spineshank for good measure.

Cookie to anyone who's heard of Spineshank before now.

*blows brains out with shotgun after sliting wrists and is made into album cover* "cookie to anyone who catches that reference" not my cup of tea.

Mayhem? Whose band also made skull fragment necklaces from the leftovers?

You sir get a internet cookie and high five

I just realized that your avatar is the cover art for Vital Remains' "Dechristianize". Infidel is a great track.

Haha someone got it xD and yea the mayham story is badass i saw them with dead and without. dead was a good singer

Ah, that's unfortunate, then. It sucks to lose a vocalist in that genre, considering the derision you get from other vocalists. Interestingly enough, after a small display of the vocal style to a conventional singer, he thought it was great.

As to the cores, I've given them a fair chance and like a few songs by a couple of them. Though, as you say, it's best to avoid thme, if you can.

All about the same one one of the first of the new wave *some reason napalam death is considered but swear there more dm* but anyway its like whitechapel jfoc like that then other people found hey stupid teenagers who wouldnt know good music if any of the metal musicans whacked them in the face with their dicks ran up to them so lets make the same music have "breakdowns" and pretty neon colored shirts with shit on it =D

 

[Krafty_Krocodile]

I like aluminium, its light, tough and chemicly durable

but in all seriousness BFMV! WOOOOO

 

[dashiz94]

Cookie for you good sir.

Jesus, that looks like a BN made from shit.

That cookie is demonic like all hell

 

[derdeutschmachine]

Love the metal, been into it since the nineties. yes by comparison to most of you ... I'm old.

@ Games b2: Spineshank is the shit, their new project, Silent Civilian, is also quite good.

@ Furburt: Your classifacation of industrial is a bit off. Industrial is metal and electronic music smashed together in a 25 to 75 ratio respectively. see bands such as Agonoize or Feindflug for epitome examples.

Glad to see the metal spirit is still alive in you youngins, I thought that genre may die with my generation.

As an aside there is a great metal station based out of seaton hall NJ called WSOU you can stream it on their page WSOU.net during the day they have a pretty solid lineup.

For those curious as to what "deathcore" sounds like, here are a couple of videos from The Acacia Strain (back when they were good) and also Suicide Silence (who have always been terrible).

Spoiler: Deathcore

Mayhem -Dawn Of The Black Hearts, now where is my cookie.

*hands over macadamian nut cookie* lol

I've already answered in a similar thread, so I'll do what I usually do, put everything in cataegories.

Death Metal: Bloodbath, Death, Morbid Angel, Suffocation, Atheist, Behemoth, Coldworker, Decapitated, Deicide, Decrepit Birth, Dying Fetus, The Faceless

Black Metal: Mayhem, Marduk, Burzum, Gorgoroth, Anaal Nathrakh, Wolves in the Throne Room

Melodic Death Metal: In Mourning, Insomnium, Gorod

Deathcore: The Contortionist, Permillisecond, the Plasmarifle, The Acacia Strain (guilty pleasure of mine), After the Burial, From the Shallows

Progressive: Between the Buried and Me, Opeth, Gojira, Garden of Shadows, Meshuggah, Kylesa, Iron Thrones, Neuraxis, The Ocean, Portal, Strapping Young Lad, Soreption, Trap Them, Volumes, Welkin, From A Second Story Window, Dillinger Escape Plan, Cynic

Post-Metal: Neurosis, Isis, Intronaut, Rosetta, Callisto

Metalcore: Converge, Botch, August Burns Red, The Binary Code

Instrumental: Blotted Science, Scale the Summit, Dysrhythmia

Old School: Iron Maiden, Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth

I'd say Gorod is more technical death metal than it is melodic. Also, BTBAM is an amazing band.

I noticed that too. If you listen to their newer album you can hear a lot of melodic riffage. And I saw BTBAM tour with Cynic, Devin Townsend Project, and Scale the Summit. BEST. CONCERT. EVER.

Ah I love them just because of the heavy beat. Bulletproof pumps me up straight away.

And shame I'm going to see Iron Maiden at Sonisphere in about 4 days \m/ twill hopefully be epic.

Wait, what? Napalm Death is grindcore, in fact, they invented the genre.

If memory serves, "Scum"-Napalm Death holds the record for the shortest song in history(Sitting at the brief time of three seconds).

That's the thing, yes. It almost feels like some of the bands nearly came to grips with Death Metal and stripped it of all the complexity. There are no signature tweaks, no overly complicated riffs. Like you said, the early generations were good but it didn't age very well.

 

[the_pleasure_is_mine]

Sweeet ;D Also Rammestien, Fear Factory, Skindred... the list goes on and is epic.

Up the irons, my good man, up the irons.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

Anyone else in Montreal this past weekend for Heavy MTL? In any case it was a great show headlined by Slayer, Megadeth and Testament. There were tons of other bands there(It was a two day festival) and apparently there were fireworks during Megadeth. I didn't notice because I couldn't hear them nor did I have space in the gigantic mosh -pit of a crowd to turn around and look for them.

 

[tomtom94]

Thought this'd be a decent place to get some recommendations. I'm not a big metal fan, it has to be said, but I like a bit of System of a Down and a couple of Metallica songs. If Lostprophets' early stuff counts then them to Generally my tastes tend to stick around pop-punk to melodic hardcore.

Just wondering if there are any other bands you could recommend really. Probably not - I've got quite specific tastes - but worth a shot eh?

 

[child of lileth]

Bloodbath is awesome. Probably one of my favorite bands.

You have no become even more awesome then you were.And you were pretty fucking awesome.

I was awesome before? I wish I would have known.
