Title: Music: Any metal fans here?
Post by: greybrick on August 26, 2010, 01:08:53 AM
Is this a clone of Big_Pimp's Hip-hop thread? Yes, but at the same time the discussion will likely be entirely different. Hopefully we get something going and this doesn't immediately sink into obscurity...
To kick this off, here's what I have been listening to lately:
Reinkaos (Dissection)
Defiant Imagination (Quo Vadis)
Symbolic (Death)
Cabinet (Spawn of Possession)
Oracle Moon (Garden of Shadows)

Yes. I listen to metal, and that's about it. Pretty broad range of stuff from Megadeth, Anthrax, etc, to Opeth, Amon Amarth, Acrassicauda, Lamb of God, Hiroshima Will Burn, and so on. I can't say that there's a few specific bands that I'm currently listening to, because I typically just cycle through a few metal ShoutCast stations on Xiia Live on my Droid when I'm in the car or mowing the lawn or something. I do really like Baroness (I even named my son Isak, after the song) and Walls of Jericho, and the new Slayer album is actually a breath of fresh air compared to their other 2000's stuff.
I used to basically just put on Liquid Metal on my Sirius radio (which was stolen, so I just use the Android app now), but the quality is so bad that I mainly use Xiia Live (like mentioned before), or occasionally Slacker Radio, though they mainly play the same crap over and over.

Amon Amarth is one of my favorites, Thousand Years of Oppression gets me every time. Though I didn't care too much for Twilight of the Thunder God, I thought the production was a bit muddy.

I listen to NWOBHM and like really old stuff like Black Sabbath but I'm not into thrash or any sort current metal. Sometimes when I'm on my computer at home I'll load up all my Iron Maiden and all my Judas Priest and shuffle the playlist. Combining the two bands just pumps me up.
Melody is always important to me. Iron Maiden has that. Motorhead has that. It isn't just about really heavy sounds and I think that's what a lot of metal acts miss the boat on.

If you like melodic stuff, you should check out Opeth, they've got some pretty eclectic stuff and they're all incredibly talented (and they're songs typically average around 10 or 11 minutes). I also forgot to mention Between the Buried and Me, they're a current favorite of mine as well, and they also play some pretty melodic stuff...again, pretty long songs.

I like a little chunk of metal. Queensryche is my favorite band, with System of a Down, Mastodon, Sabbath and Iron Maiden coming after.

Opeth and such are great places to start, they have enough mainstream appeal that I can see them easing plenty of people into the genre.
Personally I wouldn't put Opeth all that high on my list. They have some great compositions, and sometimes I won't skip an Opeth song if it pops up in the shuffle, but the vocals and overall style don't suit me well. Too many of their songs slow to a crawl, and I feel like at times they throw in too many elements for the sake of sounding innovative.
BtBaM doesn't do that much for me either, just a matter of taste. There is a specific kind of melodic death that I don't care for. While I don't have the vocabulary to create a mental box for them, I associate bands like Soilwork, Scar Symmetry, BtBaM, Opeth, et cetera with the sound I don't like. I think a big commonality within the bands I don't like is the inclusion of sections with choruses of clean vocals that have a sort of arrogance or superiority about them- as if the singer is angry, and preaching at the same time. This is a really weird thing to pick out and not like, and I am sure I'm not describing it to a degree that creates understanding. Of course that isn't the only element of the bands that I don't like, but it is a shared trait.
One other part of it is that some bands start sounding a bit "me too" and I gravitate towards the things that I heard earlier on. Then again, I just recently started listening to Depresy and I get a kick out of that.

Ian you may find that a good place to jump into the heavier, more melodic stuff is from the early phases: In Flames (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLPXAcAsLgo&feature=related) or Dark Tranquillity (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OnAVgjNZow&feature=related). At this point, bands had yet to stray all that far from the groundwork that Maiden laid out.
Additionally, here is a bonus link for anyone still reading from a band I got wind of up in Canada: Blackguard's Scarlet to Snow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A920Ia5PdF8&feature=related)

I prefer industrial myself, though I'm not current in the scene now. Its probably not as much as a seperate genre as it was in the 90s. You just don't have the powerhouses of NIN, Ministry, KMFDM, and others anymore. They exist still, but it doesn't seem to be as accessible as it was. I went to see Lords of Acid and My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult last month, and while LoA was very entertaining, they're not really industrial and everyone else was lackluster. The big highlight beyond LoA was one of the groups doing a cover of Ministry's Burning Inside.
I'll have to listen to some of the groups listed here. I get caught in the trap of listening to what is on the radio and miss out on the gems that don't make the cut because of politics or whatever. Though I do think a majority of garage metal bands need to stay in the garage.

.... unless they are a Swedish garage band, those are usually great. Of course, without decent production value or creativity in songwriting they aren't worth your time, but that can be said about any band.

There are a lot of shitty "metal" bands out there too - Killswitch Engage, Five Finger Death Punch, Bullet for my Valentine, Avenged Sevenfold (they used to be good, but success completely ruined them), pretty much every "metal" band that's played on the radio. I do (irrationally) take a little offense at the comments about Opeth, I think they're amazing. The singer can sing a clean (dare I say beautiful) chorus, and then turn around and spew out the most brutal growls you'll ever hear. It's like Satan is in your stereo.

I just don't like the way their vocals sound, but that doesn't mean the guy isn't talented. My clean vocals are embarrassing, so I respect anyone that can do both styles well.

I will be picking up Distubed: Asylum and Korn 3 soon.
If the wii 2 is going to include any kind of multimedia functions such as a music player, I have a good idea of how to use it and make it unique. Basically have a music player where I create the miis of my favorite band, assign certain songs to them and then play the music and have some kind of rock concert going on inside my wii 2.
For example, I like the band Godsmack, so I would create the miis of the band such as Sully Erna, the lead singer, and then assign a song like "I Stand Alone" to the band and then play the song. The same would go for any other bands such as Korn or Disturbed.
There would also be sound amplifiers and what ever applications needed to alter the sound of the songs in a similar fashion to what the DSi music player does with soundtracks

I laughed out loud, Brandogg. I would prompt Brandogg to apologize, but I am also guilty of being rude about others' music tastes. Why don't we just make an effort to not crap on other people's tastes.
Kytim, it appears that both Brandogg and I are both mildly rude metal snobs. I know I listened to Disturbed while my tastes were still developing, and I don't want to sound like I think it isn't cool to exclusively listen to that if it is what you like.
Honestly, Kytim, if you enjoy bands like Disturbed there is a chance that you will like some of the more musically focused bands. Not that Disturbed isn't music- they write catchy songs, but it is always cool to hear bands messing with counterpoint, timing shifts, or even just more complex melodies.
Why don't you take a listen to Insomnium (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1OXcH1bg20)? They are still very poppy, so they aren't that big of a leap from what you are already listening to. If you like it, I always have tons of recommendations up my sleeve.
@ Stratos
If you like Nightwish there is a chance you will like Unleash the Archers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3ukrpAi7Jo&feature=related) don't let the horrible growls at the start of this song turn you off, their lead singer is one of the better female fronts in metal.
This one is more of a stretch, but if you have interest in bands with heavy symphonic elements try out Eternal Tears of Sorrow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeZ9FOCV_M8)
Title: Re: Music: Any metal fans here?
Post by: Stratos on September 01, 2010, 05:43:13 AM
Thanks, I'm digging both of them so far. My musical tastes are pretty broad so it's not hard to make stretches to new bands I'll enjoy.
Something rather humorous I came across was a metal cover band called Northern Kings composed of artists from Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Terasbetoni and Charon. They do covers of classic songs like "We Don't Need Another Hero" by Tina Turner, "Hello" by Lionel Richie, and "My Way" by Frank Sinatra among others. Also songs by Cutting Crew, Seal, David Bowie, Duran Duran and Bon Jovi. They're actually really good and I would put some of the covers over the original songs.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on September 01, 2010, 10:11:25 AM
Well I'm not gonna lie - I liked Disturbed when I was in high school, but that was a long time ago. I do find it enjoyable to play "Stricken" on Guitar Hero 3 though, and if their cover of "Land of Confusion" comes on, I'll listen to it. I can see where people get into stuff like that, but I'm not really into the whole "put your fists in the air" type of stuff. I was watching some concert on Palladia (I think) a while back, and it was funny because Disturbed was playing and David Draiman was like, "Get the **** up!" over and over, and the crowd just kept ignoring him and basically sat there impatiently until they got off the stage.
I used to like Godsmack when I was like 16 too, but then their second CD came out and I realized it was just the same song over and over. They say Alice in Chains is their biggest influence, but I can't see it in their music.

Bustin, I sat around listening to Death (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbp60IX_jFQ) for a couple of hours yesterday. Death metal is only a couple of years older than metallica (we're talking 1981 vs. 1983) does that really make it new fangled? ;)

Which cover of Careless Whisper? I enjoy the Seether cover but I still think the original is best for that song.
It feels like there are too many 'cover songs' dominating the airwaves. While a few are nice and some I really like, it's starting to get annoying at the apparent lack of creativity in the music industry that requires every artist make a cover song to guarantee they get airplay.

That is why you listen to the stuff that isn't on the radio!
So, how are Unleash the Archers and Eternal Tears of Sorrow working out for you? I saw you said that they were okay, but if you really like them I've got tons more where that came from.
I feel like we should start up a Metal club where we go through a new album every so often and discuss- it seems like we have enough variety in musical tastes here that we could all end up discovering some cool things. For instance, I am less familiar with older metal that isn't death style and I know very little about most popular metal here in the states.

I loved Disturbed's first album and I really liked Godsmack's thid album, Faceless. I remember buying Godsmack's fourth album right after I graduated from high school and only listening to two songs and leaving the rest of the album alone. Thier fifth album, the Oracle, was slightly better, but not much.
Disturbed has been one of my favorit bands, but they have not really been able capture the creative sound of their first two albums. But none the less, they are still a good band in my eyes.
Korn, on the other hand, has been in steady decline since their sixth album, Take a Look in the Mirror. Korn is my favorite band, but it seems as if it is on its last leg. I mean they have already had two of their original band members quit the team and they have still not been able to recapture what made them stand out. Their latest album, Remember Who You Are, was a great title, but it was supposed to get back to their roots and it was kind of off. Some of the nand's early titles featured collaborations with other musicians like Fred Durst, Ice Cube, Nas, etc. They should have done more of this in the newest album and included more bag pipe playing from the lead singer.
Alice in Chians had remerged and is pretty awesome for being gone so long. Although it is not quite the same with out Layne Staley.

Any Corrosion of Conformity fans here? I never really got into them but I recently looked them up after originally getting interested in them in the early 90s and they seem to have come a long way. What originally attracted me was their album art was done by Bill Sienkiewicz, an amazing comic book artist. Funny how tastes in one medium can lead to discoveries in other mediums.
I saw Alice in Chains live in Cleveland in 93. They were awesome. Its difficult to still call them Alice In Chains for me. Layne was so much of the group's personality.

Nickleback has also stated Alice in Chains as a big influence and, like with Godsmack, I have absolutely NO IDEA what the hell part of Alice in Chains' sound they were listening to. Was it just like the fact that they play guitars and have distortion? Did these idiots have the equalization on their stereos all screwed up so they just heard a big wall of sludge?
Alice in Chains are amazing. I can't stand Godsmack and I would rather have the flu then listen to a Nickleback song. No band invokes an instant switch of the radio station out of me more than Nickleback. I wonder what Alice in Chains thinks of these bands they influenced. Being in a band myself I wonder what it would be like to make it big and be influencial. If the bands I influenced were terrible it would royally piss me off - not just in that they utterly missed the whole point but also that by saying I influenced them there would be an association between the two acts that I would not have consented to. Alice in Chains is associated with Godsmack and Nickleback. Do they want to be? Are they cool with that? I sure wouldn't.

Boy, it gets pretty snooty in here :p
Just kidding. It funny to say mainstream metal when metal is nowhere near mainstream. Especially compared to the EMO crap spilling out of 'Alternative' radio stations.
I think Korn is fun to listen to. At least their earlier stuff. I totally agree with A.D.L.I.D.A.S. :D. And their cover of Word Up! is awesome, though I don't like Another Brick in the Wall. Shoots and Ladders breaks me out in a chant.
Mainstream metal can be pretty disappointing. If anyone is old enough to remember when the group Helmet hit with Meantime, it was supposed to be this new sound for metal, but I found it very difficult to listen to, and they pretty much faded into the background, though I think I have heard something by them recently. On the other hand, Tool's Undertow was very original and I think deserves the attention they received.

KoRn and metal don't belong in the same sentence. Slipknot...I guess you could kind of say they're metal (though I still would consider them more like hard rock, especially their newer stuff), but still, they're horrible.

I honestly think that any group of random slobs with no music training whatsoever could be given electric guitars and drums and could make music on par with either band. Sorry, but I really hate both bands and neither of them have demonstrated to me to have any talent of playing, singing or songwriting. Some of Korn's hits don't even sound like they're in key.

Northern Darkness is pretty great. But really all albums are awesome. I have to catch up with their discography too, I've listened all but I did it in a hurry.
I actually really liked the first allbum of Korn, but the rest was unbearable for my ears. I have not heard of Slipknot to form an opinion to be honest, I only know it's not popular among the snooty heh.

Which is strange, because people don't usually equate death metal with snootiness- more like tattoos, long hair, and low IQs. Yet I manage to be snooty about it.

It was actually my first Immortal album, and I was thinking of getting Sons of Northern Darkness next- do you think that's a good choice?
Northern Darkness is pretty great. But really all albums are awesome. I have to catch up with their discography too, I've listened all but I did it in a hurry.
I'm not going to lie, At the Heart of Winter's vocals made me chuckle at first. Especially when you imagine them and their makeup.
