Good work Jondur :thumb: I guess we get 6 more months to learn from your vast knowledge :(

On The Nocturnal Silence, there are apparently 2 versions with different track 5s... I have the rarer track 5, "Shadow of the Moon" which is like of ambient. Does anyone have the regular track 5 (forget what it's called) What does it sound like?

[NJMetalMeister]

I just picked up the new album by the band Taliándörögd, and i must say this band has progressed from mediocre to excellent. Their EP that was released two years ago was pretty straight forward well produced run of the mill semi symphonic black metal, it is a decent EP, and worth the money because EPs are cheap, but the new cd is actually phenominal. This barely resembles black metal anymore. I really don't know what to describe this as anymore. The vocals are still the same black metal stuff, but the music has become much much slower. It almost sounds like they have thrown a little heavier rock sound into it.

Either way, i highly reccomend giving it a listen, because now they actually have a sound to call their own. they have some samples on their website http://taliandorogd.free.fr/ or if anyone wantsme to send you a song or two, you know how to contact me.

Sometimes france does surprise me ;)

[bassaholica2004]

Anyone heard of a band called Abazgorath? They're a BM band. They're not as extreme as some bands, but they're pretty cool. Some cool lead lines in some of the songs.

And Bobo- I ****ing hate you too! Why don't any good bands come over to where I live? I can't wait till I'm 18. I wanna see Suffocation so bad, and you're seeing Cryptopsy too! I've never heard Behemoth, so can't comment there, but damn, you're lucky.

yeah the band basically made a smart move away from black metal if you ask me. then again i am not tr00 enough to listen to nothing but black metal all day. Then again if i were, i wouldnt have even liked taliandörögd's ep, for it is too well produced.

Well they kind of have 2 different sides, one is kind of a gothic side and the other is more of a death-metal side, maybe you should download King for a Day or Stonegarden if you havn't heard their death metal stuff. :thumb:

I'll check out the deathier stuff. I have Mandylion and it's pretty boring.

I have Souls to Deny, and its one of my favorite DM albums already. The production really rocks, the vocals sound apart from the music, giving it a different feel than most albums. The bass is there though, both guitar and drums, and you can feel it, especially when he plays his double-kicks. I highly suggest it.

From what I've heard, Effigy of the Forgotten is good, if you can find it. metal-archives reviews suggest that the Despise the Sun EP is also good (97% average over seven reviews), but I haven't heard it.

After seeing Satyricon last night, my respect for Joey Jordison has increasde 100-fold. He did an absolutely INCREDIBLE job filling in for Frost. Even though his presence resulted in Slipknot kiddies being there, wondering why Satyricon weren't playing any Slipknot covers and being scared as **** when they took the stage, he did an absolutely phenomenal job. He was incredible tight and precise for the most part... sped up a bit here and there... but otherwise... great. Sound was awesome, setlist, which I managed to score a copy of, was equally awesome.

Yeah. Joey was actually awesome. He did everything properly with a really natural drum sound, and Satyricon played faster than on their albums too. I hope Joey realises that he has some talent, leaves Slipsuck and joins a metal band after this Satyricon tour.

Heh, I wouldn't for a second call it best of 2004, but it is certainly excellent.

What would you say is the best? I haven't heard many albums from this year, as I've been trying to do my homework on all the oldschool bands first. So far the best I've heard from this year (that I can remember) are Suffocation's Souls to Deny and Decapitated's The Negation. Anyone know any other heavy DM bands like Decapitated? They roxors my soxors.

[Freezing Moon]

Behemoth - Zos Kia Cultus is an amazing album.

[Terminal Spirit]

Anyone listen to the band called "Rotten Sound"? they slay

Rotten Sound are indeed a great band. I have yet to hear their very newest, but I loved Murderworks, as well as Drain and Under Pressure. Murderworks was a brutal slab of music, with fewer catchy songs than Drain or Under Pressure. While I like the newer vocal approach better, I thought that the song-writing on the earlier, more punky stuff, was better.

I just downloaded Disgorge - Consume the Forsaken. What do you think

I found Consume the Forsaken and She Lay Gutted entertaining, although somewhat generic. Cranial Impalement is my favorite effort of theirs.

What happened to the tradition of calling them Caligorge and Mexigorge? Saves any confusion.

[Cardboard Headgear]

Picked up Enslaved's Below The Lights (for $9) and Severed Savior's Brutality Is Law ($7) among other things today (Blind Guardian dvd and Vintersorg's Visions From The Spiral Generator). I'm loving the Enslaved, but Severed Savior just doesn't do it for me. Not really, I dont know, original enough? I don't really know, usually I get along with the real brutal stuff just fine, but I'm not digging this one. Oh well, it was cheap, and 3/4 aint bad at all.

I know what you mean, some brutal death can get pretty redundant.

[LegionsofMarduk]

Dude, Aborted is amazing. I'll actually be reviewing the EP pretty soon - but what do you think of Goremageddon? I've never heard Bartender talk about Aborted unfortunately...

Goremageddon is a great album. I think they really did a good job with that album. The Purity of Perversion and Engineering the Dead were both good albums, but I think they really pulled it together for Goremageddon. The production is better, the songs are structured well...just an all in all good album.

[Mekkalayakay]

I found this old Headbanger's ball video (the original Headbanger's Ball) with Pestilence playing Land of Tears. It kicks so much ***, but the guy I was downloading it from cancelled, and I can't find it again. I've only got 41 seconds of it. :upset:

Cryptopsy

There's probably heaps more I can't think of right now. Does anyone know an Australian band called Portal? They are the most frightening, extreme, raw/ organic yet technically proficient sounding band I've ever heard/ seen. I think they transcend genres, but I suppose there is a death metal hint to them.

[bassaholica2004]

Does anyone else not like gore lyrics? I mean, you can't really understand the vocals anyway, but a lot of the gore bands sound for the most part very similar, and very boring. I've noticed that bands that actually sing about real issues have better music and usually vocals. I'm just sick of people thinking that these gore bands are so brutal and x-treme when their lyrics, and music, means nothing. They seem to me like DM posers.

[Terminal Spirit]

Terminal - any other grindy recommendations? As you probably know I'm into the punkier, crusty old school stuff and really since the demise of Brutal Truth only Nasum have done it for me.

Older Rotten Sound should do well for you, as well as Razorback's own Birdflesh. Some other excellent, if somewhat hard to find bands which would fit your criteria are Sickened and Gerbe of Life. Both crusty death/grind.

As I have previously stated:

Intestine Baalism is SOOOOOOOO good.

[bassaholica2004]

As I have previously stated:

Yeah they're pretty cool. They seemed to me like death/thrash, though. Kinda wierd to heard those vox from a little Japanese guy.

[ninjamonkey]

where do you see the death/thrash? they are melodic death.

Yeah, the only improvement I could make to the band is making the guy growl lower. I've heard their songs pitch-shifted down and they sound even better. Especially, the vocals.

Well, I only got 2 songs, but on both the drums are very thrashy. Its not a bad thing, I love thrash. Especially Anatomy of the Beast, its very thrashy. And I thought he had a decent growl. Its not as gargled or gurgled as a lot of bands, which is a plus, and it reminds me of a higher Antii from Demilich.

[Toozey]

No such thing.

[Dancin' Man]

A name some retard gave to a blast beat me-thinks.

[Bartender]

I thought it was some style of drumming, which Kataklysm (amongst others) used. Not sure exactly it is, just thought I'd heard it mentioned.

[Mekkalayakay]

A hyperblast is probably a really fast single handed snare drum roll using singles. Sounds like an ultra tr00 cool version of a blastbeat.

[Arucard]

Recomend me some death, that will help me get into death!
Ive tried Cryptopsy, Death and Nile, and none appealed to me. Any ideas?

You're probably thinking of a gravity blast which is actually a technique whereas "hyper blast" is just made up.

Ah, that could well be it. What's a gravity blast, then?

Keep trying. If you can get used to Lordworm from Cryptopsy, you are good to go from there.

I always thought a gravity blast was when you hit the edge of a snare drum so it sounds like you hit it twice.

You might wanna start with some Morbid Angel, then start listening to the other ones. Cryptopsy is pretty hard to listen to if you've never heard DM before, but Death should be good. I've never really heard Nile, so I can't comment on them. But yeah, get some Morbid Angel, listen to more Death, and you'll probably come to like Cryptopsy and other DM bands.

Can anyone tell me what a hyperblast is?

Basically a two footed Suffocation blast at high speeds. Flo M. uses this a lot.

A gravity blast is a blast that utilizes the one handed roll technique, using the rim of the (snare) drum as a fulcrum. John Longstreth uses this quite a bit as well.

What I don't get is how these drummers can play so loud so fast. I mean, to get that fast, the drumstick must be pretty low to the drum, right? Thats how I do it anyway. Its hard to get it loud, though, because you're concentrating on speed.

Triggers and mics my friend. ;)

[bassaholica2004]

I'm a noob to drums, whats a trigger? I hear about them all the time. Is it something that cleans the sound or something?

[sensitiveorgan00]

I'm a noob to drums, whats a trigger? I hear about them all the time. Is it something that cleans the sound or something?

"Triggering a kit is an extremly simple and cost efficient way to amplify. Basically all you need to do this is a module, triggers, and cables and your set to plug into a PA. For those of you that need explanation, a trigger is an sensor element (usually a Peizo crystal), that senses the vibration on a drumhead or shell caused by you striking the drum, the trigger sends what it pics up to a sound module, which converts the signal into whatever preset sound you've assigned to that channel. The biggest problem your going to run into is double triggering. Double triggering is a result of a trigger picking up vibrations of the head after you've struck it, in essence making the trigger and module think you've hit the drum more than once, you'll know what it is when it happens. There's a couple remedies for this. First you can start with the drums, there's mainly two things you can do, loosen the heads so they don't vibrate as much, or muffle them, you can muffle them slightly or go all out and stuff them full of padding. Or, on some models of triggers (ie, Trigger Perfect) there's a sensitivity adjustment directly on the trigger. Or you can go to the module, most have a few settings you can use to adjust the sensitivity, gain, etc. With any one or comination of those you should be able to eliminate any false or double triggering problems."

[bassaholica2004]

Oh, makes sense. I've heard theres something that some bands use on their bass drums that double the kick or something, so it sounds like the can double-bass really well. Is that a trigger with the double triggering thing on?

[sensitiveorgan00]

Oh, makes sense. I've heard theres something that some bands use on their bass drums that double the kick or something, so it sounds like the can double-bass really well. Is that a trigger with the double triggering thing on?

First, I'm not an expert on triggers, since I don't have/use them. However, I wouldn't find double triggering a real advantage, since the double bassage would probably sound sloppy and not tight. The big name modern death drummers practice a shi.t load to get to where they're at now, and they wouldn't need the use of 'double triggering'.

[RNR]

The guy from Nile uses triggers very effectively. He plays extremely fast yet barely moves. It's pretty funny looking.

[ninjamonkey]

They don't/can't trigger cymbals can they? they just mic those?

[RCA]

My cousin's friend is a drummer that's into death metal, I'll ask him about all of this.

[sensitiveorgan00]

They don't/can't trigger cymbals can they? they just mic those?

I have never seen real cymbals that were triggered, but I'm not saying it's not possible.

My cousin's friend is a drummer that's into death metal, I'll ask him about all of this.

Nice, that'll be helpful.

[ghoulfriend1334]

I'm pretty sure you can trigger cymbals, I think my friend has before. But then again, I could be wrong.
-ghoulfriend-

[ninjamonkey]

It seems triggerign cymbals would be hard to do. It seems like it would pick up sounds from the other drums like an overhead mic would.

Death metal:
Cannibal corpse

Morbid angel

Semi death metal:
Six feet under
Meshuggah
Lamb of god
Opeth

Alot of NON death metal is promoted as death metal these days, eg: Devildriver. They're a good band but they're not death metal.

[Foxfire]

The only death metal I listen to is Morbid Angel. Semi-death metal for me is Meshuggah.

My seven year old brother is more into death metal than I am...:upset:

Basic idea is that each person that wants to makes a list of 25 R&M posters, past and present, and "points" are assigned based on positions in lists. I thought it'd be cool to get a few of the lesser known death heads posters, or older members like superdan, Greg, coypu, Gertrude, DBoon's and so on mentioned, which is why I'm mentioning it here. You do need a full list of 25, though.

most of the music you guys have mentioned in here kinda creaps me out lol, but there is some death metal that i can listen to, one of them is Anal C*nt, i actually laugh at these guys coz of their wacky lyrics and song titles my fav song by them is "I Lit Your Baby On Fire" but my favourite death metal comes down to pretty much three bands, and in comparison to the bands you have mentioned so far i belive you may think these bands a bit softcore

Slayer (they invented death metal ;))
Slipknot (i guess these guys perfected death metal ;))
Sepultura
the last is KoRn, but im not sure what kind of genre to really place them under as they keep changing their playing and writing styles coz of other bands mimicing them =/

Slayer is thrash metal, they inlfuenced the making of death metal, but ultimately they are not a death metal band. Inventors of death metal : Death.

Slipknot is nu-metal, by far not even remotely in waters of death metal nor real metal at that. Perfected death metal aye? Try some Death, thats some perfected death metal.

Sepultura was death metal in their early days, so you are getting closer with that.

And Korn is nu-metal, and the creators of the genre at that. They have no hints of death metal in them, no real metal at that as well. They are in the same boat as Slipknot...


I am sorry, but I can't help but laugh when people think Slipknot and Korn are death metal...especially when they think Slipknot perfected it.
:lol:

[Dominus Frigoris]

Erm, well.

1.) I would not think of Slayer as being the inventors of DM. I don´t actuelly know who "invented" it anyway, but it´s certainly not Slayer.

3.) Korn?! You must be kidding - Korn do NuMetal. :-P

Nah, the vast majority of death metal bands look absolutely nothing like them. The only DM band i can think of off the top of my head that wear masks is the berzerker

Some bands to check out :

Cryptopsy
Necrophagist
Decapitated
Death
Carcass
Nile


And NIN = highly overrated in my opinion. Decent music, but it gets way to much praise then it deserves.

In Flames started out as an awesome melodic death metal band with their first 3 releases. They evolved nicely into a Gothenburg melo death type of band with their next 2 releases. Then evolved into a sorta nu-metallish mixed with Gothenburg sound. They evolved nicely in my opinion since they are doing what they want, but it happened all to soon. A few more melodic death releases and maybe another Gothenburg influenced release would have been nice before they made the big step to the nu-metallish sound.

Death
Deicide
Morbid Angel
Cannibal Corpse
Obituary

If you like those and want to proceed further into the depths of death metal check out:

Decapitated
Gorgasm
Vader
Kataklysm
Opeth
Necrophagist
Severed Savior
Deeds of Flesh

That should be plenty for now, should you choose to explore the genre.

and about the berserker thing, i had some idea that they were an australian band but i wasnt sure, and ive only seen them advertised once or twice as well lol. but since in australia death metal isnt as sort after as i would like it to be, the berserker dont headline anything at all which sux coz the stuff ive heard of theirs is awesome, and they are brilliant live in my opinion.

lol i just found this on the berserker...

[Dominus Frigoris]

Oops, Sorry... *blush*

An Iron Cobra is a top-of-the-line Double Bass pedal.

[LordDargon]

So, what is your favorite 1349? I think I like them both equally... Liberation is rawer, definitely, but BtA is so well written and just sounds colder.

NP: 1349 - Internal Winter

[TheUnavoidable]

That's the guy in Dimmu? I haven't heard any of his work, but he's not the fastest in the world as they say if he can only get 800 bpm on the double bass. Flo destroys 800 bpm.


Is that so? I was listening to Death Cult earlier today and it had some fukking immense double bass work. I'm not sure I've heard Flo do anything that fast.

But then again, it gets kinda hard to tell the difference when it gets THAT fast.

Vital Remains/Decrepit Birth's drummer as well as Mithras' drummer are insanely fast on the bass. Toozey says the VR guy is sped up in the studio, but I don't know if that is a substantiated claim.

EDIT: I love 1349, I'm cool too, look at me, look at ME! :p
Nick Barker was in Dimmu Borgir. He left though, several months ago. The drummer you're referring to is Reno (don't know his last name). He was supposed to fill in for Dimmu Borgir over the summer during Ozzfest, but things couldn't work out so Tony L. (ex-Nile) filled in. I don't know who drums for Dimmu at the moment, but don't really care.

Both Nick Barker and Flo are beasts. Whether who is "better" is debatable, and pretty much pointless. They are both respected extreme metal drummers, and they both have some fvcking chops.

Iron Cobra is a pedal made by Tama, which is popular among many drummers.

The drums on the newest Vital Remains record was recorded by Dave Suzuki, who also did guitars and bass for the album. There was a lot of debate whether or not the drum tracks were sped up, and that they were uber pro-tooled. If you search for this topic on the derekroddy.com forum, you can probably find some answers about this topic.

I still can't find Liberation. I think my Soulseek is dead. :confused: And Internal Winter is probably my favorite song off BtA. That opening and mid riff is too grim. :p They are definetely one of my favorite BM bands now.

[Toozey]

Nah, he can play that fast, its just probably looped alot, you can't sustain those high speeds for so long.

[blackout]

Has anyone seen any guitar tabs for the new behemoth album, specifically the "conquer all" solo?

[LordDargon]

It sounds crap when he does it for too long anyways. IE: Unleash Hell.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Dammit, I can't get that Europe Final Countdown synth part out of my head now!

Haha, me too.

For Kreator, Pleasure to Kill is class.

For Vintersorg, the early stuff is more viking metal oriented (See Tjill Falls), the middle/transition stuff is progressive/viking metal (see Cosmic Genesis) and he's now taken a further step into progressive mode with The Focusing Blur.

Fastest Drummer = Tim Waterson, 1407 BPM on the kick drums.

[ninjamonkey]

wtf? 16 notes at 1407?

[LordDargon]

wtf? 16 notes at 1407?
No, he's hitting 1407 strokes per minute. :p

[Dark Hero]

Dammit, I can't get that Europe Final Countdown synth part out of my head now!

Well, now I'm pretty happy with my music catalogue. However, I feel the need to expand. What are the strangest, wierdest most tripped-out bands or albums you know? Also, I still can't find Obscura! I think I'm just gonna have to order it.

Have you heard Norther's cover of that song.

Since when do you use 'the'?

I agree though, they're both great.

[Cardboard Headgear]

Ok, looks like I'm gunna have to check out 1349 since they're all the rage around here these days. Ninjamonkey, the injuries,er I mean GRIM BATTLEWOUNDS, are from a pretty gnarly fall involving a skateboard, a ledge, and a whole bunch of stairs. And Dominus, who's in your avatar? It looks like that Greg Proops guy from Who's Line Is It Anyways...

[Shadows]

I'm gonna have to look into 1349 too. So many people (mostly Dargon from what I can tell) rave about them that they must be pretty amazing.

[Cardboard Headgear]

Yeah, but Dargon raves about everything. Everything in the world is new and exciting when you're 12 years old. :P

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

Now thats a god damn burn. :lol:


NP - Norther - Chasm

[manuscriptreplica]

1349 aren't really that different from Darkthrone at all, but Frost's drumming makes them better

And what do people think of Death - The Sound of Perserverance in here? Rating out of 10?

[LegionsofMarduk]

Good lord...3 pages? In one day!? AWESOME!

So yeah...I'm not quoting everything that I was going to respond to. But for whoever said Slipknot perfected death metal...well...I think that subject was covered. :lol: But at least you admited to not knowing about death metal...yet. Get some stuff that was recommended. Along with:

Behemoth
Aborted
Immolation
Iniquity
Sinners Bleed
Vehemence
Mithras
Grave
Entombed
Unleashed
Cryptopsy

And if you like In Flames, check out (some a bit of a stretch from the whole Gothenburg sound, but all good bands):

At The Gates (far superior to In Flames)
Ebony Tears
Carcass (Heartwork album)
Kalmah
Dissection

And finally...the only thing I can remember that I was going to respond to...whoever Blood Red Throne: :chug:

They don't get mentioned as much as they deserve. 'Course I'm as much to blame for that since I forget about them sometimes. But ace band none the less.

[superpeer]

7/10 : Has it moments, but sometimes seems technical for the sake of technicality. Not bad though.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

I don't know how many of you will be bothered enough to do this - the death heads thread is always generally pretty insular - but there's a top 40 R&M posters list being constructed at the moment.

http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=278711

Basic idea is that each person that wants to makes a list of 25 R&M posters, past and present, and "points" are assigned based on positions in lists. I thought it'd be cool to get a few of the lesser known death heads posters, or older members like superdan, Greg, coypu, Gertrude, DBoon's and so on mentioned, which is why I'm mentioning it here. You do need a full list of 25, though.


This got mixed up in the mess last night, all of you read it and do it. :mad:

[LegionsofMarduk]

I'm in the process of completing my list. My memory sucks. I can never remember peoples names until I see them post.

[Mekkalayakay]

I'm quite bored and in need of something to do, so I'm going to name random death/black metal bands in my collection/that I listen to. You can comment on my taste/a band if you want, I don't care. Absolute favorites are bolded.

Drinking > you.

Drinking > you.

Lawl, repp'd.

[RNR]

Spam, nice :thumb:

What's Morbid Angel like? Brutal, melodic or umm...?

[LegionsofMarduk]

Spam, nice :thumb:

They're somewhere in between. More brutal than melodic. If you've bothered to check out Mithras from all of Toozey's ravings and liked them you'll like Morbid Angel. Get Alters of Madness. Ace album.

[Mekkalayakay]

Yeah, Morbid Angel is a bit harder to like if you can't get into brutal metal.

[superpeer]

Morbid Angel is old skool.

[RNR]

O noes :(

What's some Melodic death bands?

[superpeer]

Dark Tranquillity
At the Gates
Carcass (Heartwork)
In Flames
Soilwork
Amon Amarth
Arch Enemy

Etc...

[Riva]

In Flames (the early stuff - Whoracle era)
Arghoslent
Death
Opeth
And is At The Gates melodic death (always gets confused)

[superpeer]

12,000 !

EDIT : noooo, or is it? :confused:

[LegionsofMarduk]

I'm spending way too much time in this thread tonight. I really need to get off the PC. I've gotta leave.

[Riva]

Hehe, Reply number 12000 goes to the irregular. :p
