any other death heads?

[ATM]

Yeah really, why wait? I've got to get my tickets soon, but I want to get the plane tickets out of the way first. Then buy the ticket, then book a hotel, then play the waiting game for a few months... :upset: few...months... I WILL NOT MISS THIS SHOW!

It's only 45 minutes from my house. I'm excited.

[Jondur]

What about the couple of new bands coming out playing in the old style? I personally think Bloodbath's stuff is just as good, if not better than, the old stuff. And on that note, The Emperor, also check out Bloodbath, Ribspreader, and Facebreaker.

Well I had Shadowbreed in there and they're reasonably new. I think Bloodbath are not really anything special. It smacks of old people tryng to recapture their youth or playing at death metal. There's certainly nothing there that even touches "Into the Grave" for example.

Can't believe I forgot to put Demigod on there.

[Toozey]

When are they supporting Morbid Angel?

Also, why not go to both?

They are supporting them on the european tour.

Can't wait for the london gig!

[superpeer]

Morbid Angel + Necrophagist? :eek:

I must have tickets for that.

[superpeer]

By the way, anyone like Aborted?

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

They are alright, nothing special to me. I got all 3 of their albums from a friend, listened to them once and haven't done so since.

Maybe I'll give them another try...

[superpeer]

I mainly checked them out because they're Belgian, but their solos are really good. It's like hard rock solos in Brutal Death.

[manuscriptreplica]

They're alright, I'm not the biggest brutal death fan around

[LegionsofMarduk]

I like Aborted. I love the video for Meticulous Invagination.

[superpeer]

Video? :eek:

[manuscriptreplica]

Who's here heard Cathedral - Solitude? Such an awesome song :eek:

[LordDargon]

By the way, anyone like Aborted?
They're cool.

[manuscriptreplica]

Dragon why aren't you on MSN or Soulseek anymore :( I will hurt you if you've blocked me

[superpeer]

Who's here heard Cathedral - Solitude? Such an awesome song :eek:

I have, and yes, it's really good.

[Jondur]

Who's here heard Cathedral - Solitude? Such an awesome song :eek:

eh? Is it a cover?

[fgx413sc]

www.purevolume.com/santosis

[ThrashMaster27]

Yeah, Solitude? it ain't on any of the Cathedral albums I own.

[Distorted Vision]

When are they supporting Morbid Angel?

Also, why not go to both?
They're on MA's European Tour, after they finish the UK tour with Nile. I think I'd rather see them with Morbid Angel.

And because I'm cheap.

[Distorted Vision]

I also want to see Isis, which is a week after Morbid Angel.

[CabbageStabbage]

Thanks for the Morbid Angel recommendations a couple of pages back.

and check this out

Haha, AT/ST Division Marduk. Awesome. It's also my new avatar :thumb:

What does everyone think of Vintersorg? I think he's pretty great, though I need more songs to listen to!

[CaptainWaits]

Who's here heard Cathedral - Solitude? Such an awesome song :eek:

Oh yeh tis a great song

I think it's off of the "Twilight Songs" single

Oh yeh and nice new avatar Manuscript ;)

[Jondur]

you have that single? It's pretty rare. I was under the impression that it was a Black Sabbath cover (the same one they did for the "Masters of Misery" compilation)?

Can anyone host it and put a link on here?

[LegionsofMarduk]

Video? :eek:

Yep.

http://files.midnightmetal.com/mm/aborted_-_meticulous_invagination.mpg

[Fallen Zero]

Yep.

http://files.midnightmetal.com/mm/aborted_-_meticulous_invagination.mpg

That video is on the CD. Aborted is freakin good.

[CaptainWaits]

you have that single? It's pretty rare

No, I don't have the single, I wish I did, but I don't

I don't have the song either, I've just heard numerous times

[Triven]

Here's a list of Death Metal bands that I enjoy:

Meshuggah
Kataklysm
Necrophagist
Cryptopsy
Amorphis (Older stuff)
Amon Amarth
Carcass
Anata
Morbid Angel
Immortal
Dimmu Borgir
Dissection
Dew-Scented
Borknagor
Gorgoroth
Tidfall
Burden of Greif
Darkane
Napalm Death

[Dancin' Man]

I figure this thread deserves my 6,666 post.

I will now genre nazify the person above me's list.

Meshuggah
Kataklysm

Amon Amarth
Carcass
Anata
Morbid Angel
Immortal
Dimmu Borgir
Dissection

Borknagor
Gorgoroth
Tidfall

Darkane
Napalm Death

Those bolded are death metal.

[LegionsofMarduk]

Not all death metal, but you're forgiven. It's a decent list. :thumb:

[Triven]

I understand about some of them, but why wouldn't you say Meshuggah or kataklysm are death metal :confused:

[LordDargon]

Kataklysm are major death. He must have forgotten them or something.

[Bartender]

Kataklysm
Darkane
Napalm Death

Those bolded are death metal.

Later Napalm Death is death metal, isn't it? I thought Kataklysm were death metal too, though I've only heard a couple of tracks, so I could well be wrong. Darkane always struck me more as thrash, but again, I've only a couple of tracks to go by.

[Triven]

Kataklysm are major death. He must have forgotten them or something.

Yeh, that's exactly what I was thinking, and Meshuggah are pretty heavy too.

[Bartender]

It's not necessarily about being heavy, though, otherwise lots of doom bands would end up being called death metal. Nice list, though.

[Dancin' Man]

Kataklysm are major death. He must have forgotten them or something.

No I always mix up Kataklysm and Kovenant. No idea why. It is true, they are death too. Darkane is thrash with some death thrown in so I figured I'd give it to him. Meshuggah though, is in no way death.

Now that I listen to one of the Napalm Death albums, they do sound more death than grind.

[Dancin' Man]

So I just found Anata today, before Triven's list and they are mighty good. Today's new bands - Enslaved and Anata.

[Triven]

Meshuggah though, is in no way death.

What would you consider Meshuggah to be then??

[Triven]

So I just found Anata today, before Triven's list and they are mighty good. Today's new bands - Enslaved and Anata.

Yeh they are a wicked band eh dude

I've got Under A Stone With No Inscription, and it's death Metal at it's finest

[Dancin' Man]

What would you consider Meshuggah to be then??

Progressive Industrial Metal.

[Triven]

Progressive Industrial Metal.

hmmm...

Intersting sounding style

[ninjamonkey]

NP: Facebreaker - Cursed

This is good stuff. Thanks to cardboard headgear for recommending.

Now I recommend Deteriorot.

[Stoic]

Well, over here in Puerto Rico, nobody cares. They don't even check for ID anywhere (in the big colliseums like Miguel Agrelot or in the actual bars like El Ocho Negro, The Zone, Rumba, etc.). I'm 16 and I can get any kind of alcohol

Well no one cares here (HELLas) either :thumb:

[Vitriolic Rage]

Alcohol is 18 in England. So is pr0n, yet we can have sex at 16.
With our eyes closed:(

(joking)

Nah man, it's all about the song Human Spoil. You can never mess with a good 'sing along' death metal chorus.

[Corporal Compendia]

^^^ **** straight...Macabre are the kings of sing along death metal choruses.

[manuscriptreplica]

I would, but I don't know how. I could send it to your e-mail if you really want it?

[Bartender]

You can host it here if you want, I think.

I've been told I can, anyway. Haven't tried it yet.

EDIT: limited number of downloads of it, though.

[Cardboard Headgear]

^^^ **** straight...Macabre are the kings of sing along death metal choruses.
Ha, your post got Vampire of Dusseldorf stuck in my head.

[manuscriptreplica]

@Bartender: That'll do, thanks :thumb:

And you can't beat Carcass - Heartwork for pure catchiness sing along death metal

[manuscriptreplica]

Ok this one might work:

Cathedra - Solitude:

And has anyone heard Pavor? Some random guy on soulseek messaged me about this Atheist bio I did a while back, and recommended them. I guess they are in the same vein as Atheist, but the bassist does all this random sh it with his bass, it's pretty cool. Check out a sample at http://www.pavor.com

[br3ad_man]

I used to think over 18 gigs were stupid too (missed Nile in 2001 because of that), until I turned 18. Now I'm glad they keep all the little shits away.

I'm not a little **** though :(

[Toozey]

I might have to fake id it for nile then.

[Fenrisulfr]

I'm a metal head in general, not just Death.

[Fenrisulfr]

NP: Dimmu Borgir - In Death's Embrace

Dimmu Borgir are melodic Black Metal :confused:

[Silenius]

Dimmu Borgir are melodic Black Metal :confused:
They started out pretty much as raw Black Metal, they've moved away from that though ever since Enthrone Darkness Triumphant...

[Bartender]

Dimmu Borgir are melodic Black Metal :confused:

This thread's title is deceiving. All forms of extreme metal discussion are accepted here.

[Fenrisulfr]

oh ok...
Sorry, I guess

[RiceMonster]

Dimmu Borgir are melodic Black Metal :confused:
Yes, but people discus black metal as well as death metal in this thread.

Edit: Bartender beat me to it.

[Silenius]

oh ok...
Sorry, I guess
No, it's okay to discuss them in here. :)

[Vitriolic Rage]

I might have to fake id it for nile then.
Yeah, I'm going about getting a fake ID, just for the Nile gig.

[Bartender]

oh ok...
Sorry, I guess

It's not a problem. Welcome to the thread, by the way.

[Fenrisulfr]

No, it's okay to discuss them in here. :)
I see :)
So did they switch from melo black to symphonic extreme?
Thanx Bartender :)

[Dancin' Man]

Yeah, I'm going about getting a fake ID, just for the Nile gig.

I want to see one of those Nile + Necrophagist shows.

Mostly Necrophagist though.

If you like Arch Enemy, you'll probably love later Carcass (Heartwork esp.), One of the Amott brothers' old bands. Very kick *** melodic death metal. :cool:

[Silenius]

I see :)

Thanx Bartender :)
Many feel the sold out when they changed from Black to Symphonic. I personally agree. But yeah that's how they switched.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Jondur, i should be burning your cd tonight and sending it out sometime this week.

[Stoic]

about PAVOR: It's been a while since the last time I discovered a technical death metal group and I was starting to worry! Thanks a lot!

[br3ad_man]

Would it be worth checking out Arch Enemy? I wanna see how chick's vocals work in death metal.

[Toozey]

Don't bother.

[bassaholica2004]

Get some Kittie. :p



Eh, I don't feel like reading 5 or 6 pages of posts, so I have no idea whats going on right now. I've been on a BM run for a while now, but so far I haven't really found any modern BM bands that I like, besides 1349. I need some modern raw BM, old school style stuff. Can anyone help?

[bassman]

Hey Guy,

I really dont know who Im speaking to but I joined the page just so i could reply to you guys.

Well first of all i would like to thank you for the compliments you guys have written, I mostly appreciated.

As for what Im doing in my music, always keeping as busy as possible and always trying new things as for the vocal projects Ive done i still do alot of recording sessions they pay very well you know im also a percussionest no body ever new this about me because there is no percussion or mainstream vocals in death metal.

But come on anybody who knows me and my musicianship knows im always trying new things.

The metal years were the best years of my life but that time has come and gone.

Best Regards.
Tony Choy.




He contacted me on my guestbook for my page so we started talking on the mail, he is a really nice guy. He has sung for westlife and someother equally horrible band. He is still playing bass but more latin sambe stuff or whatever, A **** shame for him to waste his talent like that! Atheist might reunite but I doubt they use Tony Choy for this for Kelly Shaefer didn't ant to bring in that pop **** into atheist as he said, well I hope he starts playing some good **** and that things work out for him for he was completely open in ou conversation and very nice eventhough he never talked to me before.

[bassman]

And what do you guys out there think if i do a tech metal record tony choy style you think people would buy it or Ill just give it away just to have fun.

Tony Choy.

[bassman]

hey metal fan,

thats a great to see people still remember that record.

Tony Choy.

[br3ad_man]

Don't bother.

Ok, I won't :p

I really like high screamed vocals, but not the way the use it in black metal. Does anyone know of any death metal bands that use mainly high screams? From the stuff I've heard, Death sort of do it, but it's not really what I'm looking for. Listen to "Page 29" by Fantomas (its a quick download, only about 50 seconds long) , that's kinda what I'm looking for.

[CaptainWaits]

Would you guys say Meshuggah's Ep "I" is a worthy buy??

[jcs497]

hey metal fan,

thats a great to see people still remember that record.

Tony Choy.
Are you really Tony Choy? If you are, I must say, Elements has the best bass playing I've ever heard in a metal band. I don't have any other Athiest albums though, so I can't say much. It's awesome though if you really are Tony Choy and you posted on MX.

If you're not really him, then shame on you for doing that to me.

[Silenius]

Get some Kittie. :p

Clandestine Blaze are excellent as are Nargaroth.

[ArandomBassist]

wow... tony choy (is skeptical of trusting said identity). if you are real can you come to australia and start doing lessons?

that pavor was pretty good. i like tech death. i need more

[bassaholica2004]

Clandestine Blaze are excellent as are Nargaroth.
Cool, I'll check em out.

[PIGS(1 different one)]

That's pretty cool if that is Tony Choy, I believe him.

[jcs497]

If he is, he should stay as a normal member!!!!

[Freezing Moon]

Would you guys say Meshuggah's Ep "I" is a worthy buy??

I is awesome. I would highly recommend buying it.

My favorite part of that song is where it randomly breaks off into wierd melodic guitar, and then goes into a triplets riff, or something like that. Try doing the patterns of the riffs in your head, its really hard.

[CaptainWaits]

No problem... Thanks for the rep.

You should also check out the EP None. IMO its some of their best work.

yeh I have the EP None, in a bonus addition along with Contradictions Collapse

That and "Nothing" are currently my only Meshuggah albums, and I'm looking for more for sure

[Freezing Moon]

I thought I had it too, but I was missing one song. If you have what I think, then you're missing "Aztec Two Step". It's kind of experimental and cool. If I am right and you want it, my AIM is in my profile.

[manuscriptreplica]

I have all their albums apart from the first one, which isn't very technical at all, good band

Tony Choy.

Holy sh1t it's Tony Choy! Hey man I'd buy it in a flash! I reckon it'd do well - everyone seems to be into more and more technical bands nowadays. If you do, let us know!

[Det_Nosnip]

Would it be worth checking out Arch Enemy? I wanna see how chick's vocals work in death metal.

Get Wages of Sin. Personally, it's one of my favorite death metal albums. The album's opener, "Enemy Within," kicks all kinds of ***. That verse riff that comes in right after the melodic leads is perfect. :cool:

[Cardboard Headgear]

I'd definately buy a tech metal Tony Choy cd!

wtf?!

Well - if it's really you! - I'd certainly buy an album of yours. Most people here (death heads) seem to love technical metal and Atheist is one the most highly respected bands!


hey metal fan,

thats a great to see people still remember that record.

Tony Choy.

"Still" remember?! It's 5 star masterpiece! Besides, most of us were too young at the time and it's a record we discovered many years after its release

[Distorted Vision]

What the hell, Tony Choy is here? Awesome.

[Corporal Compendia]

And what do you guys out there think if i do a tech metal record tony choy style you think people would buy it or Ill just give it away just to have fun.

Tony Choy.

That would rock the world. Most people think you fell off the face of the earth... I'd buy it the day of, no, I'd pre-order it! Just... do it!

The ones already mentioned, plus, do you listen to Behexen? If not, do so :thumb:

Breadman, try Psycroptic and newer Kataklysm, they use quite a bit of higher-pitched raspy vocals.

Tony Choy: you're way too modest man, that album is rated a classic! Although it isn't particularly my style I cna more than appreciate the effort that went into it.

[Bartender]

I would also trip over my own feet buying a Tony Choy album.

[Toozey]

Wow, how could I miss those post by Tony Choy!? Great to see you here.

[Stoic]

Somewhere Cardboard Headgear mentioned DEPRESY. I was just checking the samples on their site...These guys are pretty good!

[Fenrisulfr]

Meh, anyone know "Ablaze My Sorrow" ?
I thought that they are a really good melo-death metal band after listening to "Where The Strong Live Forever"...but after listening to the rest of the songs....meh

[ninjamonkey]

I wanna see how chick's vocals work in death metal.
Then check out Shadow and Estuary.
Get some Kittie. :p

Have you heard Xasthur or Leviathan?

I agree for the most part...but it works out sometimes... Here's a song with a tough female vocalist. There's 2 vocalists here. One guy and one girl.

So today I went to that big metalstore. I bought :

Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale

We talk about black metal in this thread too? How's La Masquerade? I think I'm gonna get that

[superpeer]

Yeah, we talk about all sorts of extreme metal.

La Masquerade is not black metal though, it's really weird music, with lots of keyboards and strange melodies, but it's good.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
Darkthrone - Soulside Journey

It's about time Jelle.

jcs497, you must get La Masuerade. It's amazing.

If Tony Choy were to come out with a tech death album, i'd be all over it.

[Iron Man]

Yeah, we talk about all sorts of extreme metal.

La Masquerade is not black metal though, it's really weird music, with lots of keyboards and strange melodies, but it's good.

It's "Avant-Garde"...and I have The Chaos Path. I love that song.

[Fenrisulfr]

La Masquerade is Progressive metal...not quite sure though

[jcs497]

It's "Avant-Garde"...and I have The Chaos Path. I love that song.
Yea, I also heard that in the Arcturus thread......I love the evil carney sounding keyboard thing

[superpeer]

Yeah, I know that it's Avant garde, I just tried to describe it. :p

And yesh Rob, it was time, but I could never find it before.

I doubt it's really him.

what happened to copyu, the guy from here who was talking with him?

[superpeer]

He started a pop band with Tony Choy and Elvis.

[Iron Man]

Yeah, I know that it's Avant garde, I just tried to describe it. :p

And yesh Rob, it was time, but I could never find it before.

Banned, then unbanned and decided he was sufficiently annoyed by being banned without good reason to never come back anyway.

Dude, avant-garde is a legitiment form of music that has been going on for centuries. It's not some made up genre by some mall goth alright. And avant-garde metal is usually coupled with black metal or some form of extreme metal influence in their music, so I think its safe to have them in a thread about extreme metal.

No, it's fine that they're in the thread, I just don't like them being called avant-garde. I've been checking these forums for a couple years now, and I just heard about this maybe a month ago, which makes me think it's a made up label

Avant-garde is not a made up label for Arcturus or any other bands in the genre.

Do you even know what avant-garde means? If you do, Arcturus fits the bill of that label and deserve that label. And Hellhammer that is in the band, is also in a few other avant-garde bands as well.

Avant-garde loosely means "before its time" right?

[superpeer]

Let's just call it Progressive.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

Let's just call it Progressive.


They aren't progressive though. :angry:

[superpeer]

Yes.

[superpeer]

Yes, they are, Avant garde is progressive, just to a greater extent.

[Silenius]

I always thought of avant garde as a sub genre of progressive.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

Yes, they are, Avant garde is progressive, just to a greater extent.


I don't really see it that way. Avant-garde uses new techniques and ideas to incorporate into the music/art. Progressive just means change over time, and Arcturus aren't really all that progressive in their music.

[jcs497]

Please don't hurt me then....I made a mistake.

So, to change the topic, what do you think of Mayhem's "De Mysteriis..."? I just got about half of the CD last night, an even though I'm not really into the tr00er parts of black metal, I think it's really good.

Dead is on vocals still right, or is he already dead by that album?

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

I also personally think Pagan Fear's is the best song off of it, has a cool intro riff.


Attila is on vocals for the album.

[Iron Man]

I am listening to the title track off of that now, just got done listening to the whole album. Took me awhile to get use to the guys weird vocals heh...

He sounds like a drunken growling frenchman to me...

"FFUUUUUUUUNNIIEEERALLL....FOG!"

[jcs497]

I'm pretty sure he's on it, all of the tr00 people reccomended this to me, so he must have been alive

[craggyisland]

I'm pretty sure he's on it, all of the tr00 people reccomended this to me, so he must have been alive
Nope, he killed himself in '91 I think, DMDS wasn't until '93.

[superpeer]

Avant-garde uses new techniques and ideas to incorporate into the music/art. = Progressive.


change over time = Progress, mostly just change. Most bands change, you can't call everything progressive.

Let's just drop this, This doesn't even belong in this thread. :p

[jcs497]

Nope, he killed himself in '91 I think, DMDS wasn't until '93.
Well I'll be ****ed....So here's where I'm at for extreme stuff, I have some:

Immortal (very good)
Emperor (just now starting to be able to stand it)
Cryptopsy (too **** repetitive, don't like it much)
Arcturus (good stuff)
Mayhem (....yup)
Atheist (my favorite death metal so far)
Carcass (also very good)

And that's about it. What should I go for next?

Yes, I just have a different idea of what both of those are then you. No sense in arguing, especially in this thread.

[superpeer]

Attila's clean vocals on the title track are really cool actually.

[The Depressed]

Well I'll be ****ed....So here's where I'm at for extreme stuff, I have some:

Repetitive? Have you heard Cold Hate, Warm Blood? Or even anything off Whisper Supremacy or ...And The You'll Beg?

[jcs497]

Nope, and that's why I think they're repetitive. I have None So Vile, and it's supposedly really good :rolleyes: . It just sounds like Lord Worm growling and slamming heavy guitar riffs. The chord progressions don't even seem to change much from song to song.

You must be a bright fellow to pick this one up. :rolleyes:

[Cardboard Headgear]

Somewhere Cardboard Headgear mentioned DEPRESY. I was just checking the samples on their site...These guys are pretty good!
:confused:
I've never heard the band, but if they're good then I guess I'll take credit.

[NJMetalMeister]

it was I that mentioned Deprsey, and yes, they do rule, but i wont let cardboard headgear take the credit for my find ****it!

[bassaholica2004]

On the subject of Attila's vocals, I don't really like em. They're good, but they just don't do it for me, except on Funeral Fog and Pagan Fears. Also, isn't Varg on bass? If so, he's a pretty creative and good bassist for the BM genre.

[superpeer]

Well, opinions differ on that matter. Some say that Hellhammer recorded his own basslines over Varg's, as requested by Euronymous' parents. Some say that it's still Varg.

I'm not sure though. :) But I'll agree with you that the bass is quite prominent and good, especially for Black Metal.

Yes, Varg was on bass on that album.

At least I believe it is Varg...

[bassaholica2004]

Well, I've read that Mayhem told Euronymus' parents that Hellhammer recorded the bass, but he actually didn't, and they left Varg's on there. Whoever did it though, its good, and is one of the main reasons why I like it so much.

[Vitriolic Rage]

Apparently there's Varg and Hellhammer's basslines playing together at the same time on there.
Varg's have a bit of distortion, while Hellhammer's are clean.
or that's what I heard anyway, it might not be true.

[manuscriptreplica]

Cryptopsy (too **** repetitive, don't like it much)

Oh dear

I like De Mysteriis, just not some of the vocals that Atilla does. Funeral Fog and Pagan Fears he owns on. The others he kind of ruins them...

That said PF is my favourite song, such a great intro

[Deathcrush]

I don't understand the big wankery over the bass on that album. I am not saying there is anything wrong, and I am not really a bass player, but tonight I was recording the bass to Funeral Fog for my cover, and the bass just seems to be a simplified version of the guitar part for most of it. :confused:

Someone please fill me in here.

You're right.

[manuscriptreplica]

The bass always follows the rhythm part, the only genres that fall out of this is death metal, pop and funk, really. The bass does get quite busy in Pagan Fears, though

[Deathcrush]

I'll give Pagan Fears another listen. I don't usually pay too much attention to bass in black metal.

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

the only genres that fall out of this is death metal, pop and funk, really

Ahem, progressive music.

[manuscriptreplica]

Oh yes, and progressive music :p

Well I'm sure there's a lot more genres that the bass does its own thing, but the role of the bass is to give the rhythm a nice low end sound

[jcs497]

It can do it's own thing in whatever genre it feels like, thank you very much. :angry:

edit:that wasn't directed specifically at you

[manuscriptreplica]

Undoubtably, and I prefer when the bass does it's own thing (hence, technical death metal being my favourite genre of music) but to put it frankly the role of the bass is to make the guitar sound good, and in most cases this happens

Eh.....I hate when it's described that way, even though it's halfway true :upset:

[manuscriptreplica]

Well you look at what's popular in today's music, pop/rock and pop/punk bands. The bass rarely plays it's own line, instead taking the soft, unimaginative way out and playing along with the rhythm the entire time. Most bands' bassists do not even add their own fills at the end of a section, which pratically defines how talented a bassist is for me. And this is how it has always been, you look back to bands like the Beatles, who towards their end of their career became more experimental, but at the start of their career, and arguably their most popular, McCartney (or whoever their bassist was) followed the rhythm guitar

:upset: wow, I feel like crying now.

Back to death metal....ummm....does anyone knoe of some good death metal that's not real brutal, but not melodic? Atheist is the only one that comes to mind, I need more stuff like that though.

[manuscriptreplica]

Atheist not real melodic? :eek:

Cynic - Focus is in the same vein as Atheist, kind of... and it has just been re-released for your aural pleasure

Darkthrone - Soulside Journey is another excellent non-brutal CD. If you want DM that is not dominated by drums, this is it!

And of course Opeth aren't terribly brutal, not too many people like them in this thread, but they are pretty popular across the forums, and are a great gateway to get into heavier growls. Just make sure you don't pick up Dam nation!!

[jcs497]

Atheist not real melodic? :eek:

No, I meant, it doesn't fall under the genre of Melodic Death Metal

But thanks :thumb:


edit: opeth is awesome

[CaptainWaits]

Darkthrone - Soulside Journey is another excellent non-brutal CD. If you want DM that is not dominated by drums, this is it!


now I shall be checking out some Darkthrone next time I have a chance

[manuscriptreplica]

Excellent choice. I shall now recommend songs for you from their first four albums (they go downhill after that)

Soulside Journey - Cromlech, Accumulation of Generalization (instrumental), Iconoclasm Sweeps Cappadocia
A Blaze in the Northern Sky - Kathaarian Life Code, Paragon Belial
Under a Funeral Moon - Natassja in Eternal Sleep, The Dance of Eternal Shadows, Inn I De Dype Skogers Favn
Transilvanian Hunger - Transilvanian Hunger, As Flittermice As Satans Spys, Skald Av Satans Sol

Have fun

Thanks a ton dude :thumb:

That has now been copied down into my own going list of "CD's to buy"

And I would rep you, but I gotta spread it around first

[manuscriptreplica]

No worries

Which album is best? And will I be able to find it in a store?

Well, it depends. Soulside Journey is death metal. A Blaze... is kind of a hybrid of death and black metal. Both ...Funeral Moon and Trans. Hunger are real repetitive, droning black metal. I listen to Soulside Journey the most, but would probably recommend Under a Funeral Moon. And you should be able to find them in music stores, they are a quite popular band (even though Fenriz hates it)

[jcs497]

wait....Funeral Moon is repetitive and droning, yet you reccomend it?




okay....

[manuscriptreplica]

Yes, in a good way!

[jcs497]

I guess I'll never understand black metal.

Just wondering, I've heard Dissection described as "melodic black metal".....how are they melodic?!

Oh well, I'm goin to sleep

[bassaholica2004]

Well, for not-brutal-yet-not-melodic, try some Demilich. I might be wrong though, because I don't really know what melodic mean. :confused:

I just got the latest Deathspell Omega (I really don't feel like typing the name out), and its pretty cool. Not your average BM, but its not all keyboard-dominated like most **** is today. You guys should check it out if you haven't already.

[Freezing Moon]

Well, for not-brutal-yet-not-melodic, try some Demilich. I might be wrong though, because I don't really know what melodic mean. :confused:


Demilich is pretty sweet, but the singing seemed a little wierd to me when I first listened to it. I don't mind it now though. It's pretty sweet that he can make his voice sound like that.

[jcs497]

[Freezing Moon]

*avoids mentioning this in our AIM chat*

Their singer has really low gutteral vocals, the instruments are just how bassaholica described Demilich. Not melodic, yet not too brutal. You would probably like it if you didn't mind the vocals.

Can't remember how, but they somehow got screwed over, and all of their stuff is up for download on their site.

[bassaholica2004]

I wish so much that they made more albums. They had potential to be my favorite band, because the music is just so technical and weird, but then they stopped.

Eh, I don't remember exactly, but I think the label took all the money. So, in retaliation, the band put up all the music for free. Sounds like a good idea to me.

[jcs497]

Yea, that is very weird

[Freezing Moon]

Eh, I don't remember exactly, but I think the label took all the money. So, in retaliation, the band put up all the music for free. Sounds like a good idea to me.

I can't say I mind having it for free, without the thought of ripping off the band.

[jcs497]

I can't say I mind having it for free, without the thought of ripping off the band.
If they split up though, they should at least keep making money

[Freezing Moon]

If they split up though, they should at least keep making money

Yeah, but if the record company already ripped them off, and their retaliation was to put it up for free, its not really ripping them off. They should have made money though, its good music.

This thread is about discussing extreme metal in general, not just death metal any more...

You must be a bright fellow to pick this one up. :rolleyes:

Take a look at the thread subject name. That's what I was talking about. Death. I'm sure the topic sort of swayed here and there throughout all the pages of this thread. But you see, I just started reading this thread today, and I'm not going to read every single page, I hope you understand. I have been in MANY forums where people often name off non-death/grind bands claiming they are. Since I did not read thoroughly, since I do have other things to do believe it or not, I did not know this was discussing "extreme metal in general" (note: please define extreme metal for me, so I can participate). Please don't bring on intelligence either, I think it's the lowest common denominator of insulting on a forum/chat (excluding blurting out things like "cunt rag" "meat****" and "raped nympho-nun"), in my opinion, for certain reasons.

[Jondur]

Acceptable styles to discuss:

Death, Black, Doom, Grind, even some thrash.

Unacceptable:

Metalcore, Nu-metal, most thrash (there is a thrash thread), NWOBHM, Six Feet Under (in any way apart from to slag them to hell and back)

[ThrashMaster27]

You know what band I can't listen to based solely on Vocals? Mortician. The vocalist seems to have such a low voice that you can't even hear him half the time. At least that's what I've found from listening to them anyway.

[br3ad_man]

I still haven't heard those guys. They're grind right?

[Cardboard Headgear]

In my humble opinion, Mortician are unmitigated crap. Me and my friends have a running joke of calling them Distortion, as that's basically all you get when you tune your instruments down a whole friggin octave.

[Jondur]

Mortician are terrible.

this, however, is ace! http://www.metallicademos.tk/

[br3ad_man]

I thought Jondur liked Mortician!!! :eek:


Anyway, help me with something here, I have english questions about different groups in society. One of the ones we could choose was death metal fans. We had to answer these questions:

a) What different things make up the culture (eg race, gender, apperances etc)
b) What type of people are included in the group
c) What type of people aren't included

I've already done it, but if anyone has anything to add, that would be cool.

[Jondur]

No. I've always hated them. Absolute sh1te. Two minutes of horror film samples and then 30 seconds of indescernible rumbling. Crap.

1. Male, white, under 25 usually.
2. Usually made up of an uncomfortable mix of meatheads and nerds.

[LegionsofMarduk]

I'd just like to affirm what Jon said about Mortician. Utter crap.

a) What different things make up the culture (eg race, gender, apperances etc): white males, 16-30

b) What type of people are included in the group: white males age 16-30, pretty much people from most walks of life

c) What type of people aren't included: ghetto homies, princess pop teenie bopper types

[Stoic]

it was I that mentioned Deprsey, and yes, they do rule, but i wont let cardboard headgear take the credit for my find ****it!

Oops, I'm terribly sorry :(!

Like he's belching.

Dam.n these vocals, they ruin the music!

wait....Funeral Moon is repetitive and droning, yet you reccomend it?

It's the atmosphere that matters I guess. It's a very hypnotizing listening, the music totally absorbs you (the black metal fan at least)

Just wondering, I've heard Dissection described as "melodic black metal".....how are they melodic?!

What do you mean how? The riffage is just more complex and melodic, this is why I find melodic black far more interesting than normal black. Check Dissection's "Where Dead Angels Lie" and Satyricon's Mother North (although not complex) to get an idea.

Back to death metal....ummm....does anyone knoe of some good death metal that's not real brutal, but not melodic? Atheist is the only one that comes to mind, I need more stuff like that though.

I think you've misunderstood the term melodic probably because of the gothenborg sound. There is good melodic death out there NOT played in the gothenborg way. Anyway, have you checked DEATH yet? I think it's exactly what you're looking for. If not download Lack of Comprehension off Human.

I still haven't heard those guys

Me neither

[HappyMarshmellow]

Ok, for those awaiting me to send them my demo, here's a progress report:

I've decided to make the final amount of demos 20. I made 20 copies in thick paper of the cover and the back, and I'm almost done putting the finishing production touches on the album.

I'll probably put all your copies in the mail by saturday.

Sorry, I'm a bit late to this thread, and so I don't know what's going on. Tell me about your band, and what style do they play? I run an underground label called EraTasm Music, so if you do like extreme metal or dark ambient/ classical music, you may be interested in it. So far, I have four BM bands on it, including my solo project Inward Escape.

Is it possible to swap demos or something? If you have any questions or whatever, here is my email address: eratasm@hotmail.com

Sure, I guess I can send a copy out to you.

My band is a one-man project (at least right now) called "Gorcrow". On the demo, I have mostly death metal, but one gothic-symphonic black metal parody song aimed at a local group that pisses me off.

I've attempted playing black metal, but it's difficult for me to get in the mood and I've messed up all my attempts to write any black metal songs. I've got a wide array of influences, though: Deicide, Macabre, Mayhem, Cryptopsy (I do a Cryptopsy cover on the demo), Venom, My Dying Bride, Vond, Carcass, Leviathan, Burzum, Craft, Suffocation, Immolation, Morbid Angel, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Cephalic Carnage, Dying Fetus, etc.

email me at scanner_1002@yahoo.com and I'll snail-mail a copy to you

[Stoic]

^
I'm interested in it too. I'll send you an e-mail...

[atremore]

Cool, I thought I was the only one here who likes bands such as Leviathan and Craft! Here is the webpage for my band (which is also a solo project):

http://www.inwardescape.cjb.net/

Please not that it's only a fairly new page, and needs some work still. Do you have a homepage?

Did anyone catch the bit of news that Morgion have broken up? On a related note (in my mind, anyway), when's the new Primordial album due out?

[atremore]

Thanks for the compliment MetalFan!

Bartender, I realise you qouted my stupid post... that's all it is, stupid! *sulks in corner and tries to think of something slightly more intellectual to say*

[atremore]

Does anyone know if Opeth are releasing a new album this year? And if so, do you reckon it will be metal?

[NJMetalMeister]

according to what mike in between a few songs when i saw them earlier last year, the answer is yes to both.

[Lord Abortion]

Cool, I thought I was the only one here who likes bands such as Leviathan and Craft! Here is the webpage for my band (which is also a solo project):

http://www.inwardescape.cjb.net/

Please not that it's only a fairly new page, and needs some work still. Do you have a homepage?
Yeah you guys look a pretty professional outfit
I want to hear some stuff

when I get my broadband sorted Ill have a listen

I can't dowload anything because I'm on a school server, but I'd like to hear some stuff

[LordDargon]

So, I read through the last 4 pages. All I have to say is MORTICIAN ARE GARBAGE


...and CRYPTOPSY ARE NOT IN THE LEAST BIT REPETITIVE :angry: x 10000

NP Insision - Imminent Vision

Oh yeah, and I am definitely of the nerd variety of metalhead.

[Ve Das]

I thought Jondur liked Mortician!!! :eek:


Anyway, help me with something here, I have english questions about different groups in society. One of the ones we could choose was death metal fans. We had to answer these questions:

a) What different things make up the culture (eg race, gender, apperances etc)
b) What type of people are included in the group
c) What type of people aren't included

I've already done it, but if anyone has anything to add, that would be cool.

a)GENERALLY:white between 15-30,althought everybody is allowed in.
b)you meet all types,but usually beer drinkers/hellraisers,nerds and normal folks
c)people who don´t like death metal/think Slipknot and the like is death metal.

[Jondur]

?

Yep - not that surprising really. I'd been hearing stuff for ages.

On a related note (in my mind, anyway), when's the new Primordial album due out?

Think it should be out any time now. And by all accounts, it's blinding!

[Cardboard Headgear]

Blinding in a good way or bad way? And is the singer still trying to to that semi singing stuff? I effin hate that, either sing, or screech, but none of that 'harsh spoken word' please.

[Jondur]

Blinding=good.

I've no idea - I haven't heard it. Apparently its somewhere between the harsher "Storm before the Calm" stuff and the more melancholic "Spirit the Earth Aflame" material.

[superpeer]

Six Feet Under (in any way apart from to slag them to hell and back)

:lol:


I think we should compile a list of most hated bands in this thread.

Mortician, Six Feet under are definitely on it.

[RetiredAt21]

Six Feet Under is so unbelievably bad.

[LegionsofMarduk]

Blinding=good.

mmm....Storm Before Calm is such a good album.

[ICB]

Is it just me, or is the new Amon Amarth CD gonna kick ***?

[Harve]

Death mental pwns.
i listen to
Cradle of filth
Dimmu borgir
but also to other metal groups like
Iron maiden
Manowar
....

Uh...sorry, you're thinking of Black Metal.

[superpeer]

Not really that either.

[Jondur]

mmm....Storm Before Calm is such a good album.

i actuall prefer "Spirit the Earth Aflame" and would put it in my top ten of all time without any hesitation.

Six feet Under hold the dubious honour of not only being the worst death metal band ever,but also the worst cover band ever. Whether they beat Probot in the "biggest waste of talent" competition is still open to debate.

Waste of talent? Am I missing something. or did they never have any talent to waste? :confused: :lol:

[Deathcrush]

I think he means that the members individually are talented, and show it in other projects, but waste it in this one.

I might be wrong though.

[jcs497]

Oh, I didn't know they were in other bands

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Jondur, i'm having some problems with your cd. I'm gonna try and burn it again tonight.

NP: Stormlord

NP : Sodom - Sepulchural Voice

What is with these CD trade dealys you guys have going on?

[jcs497]

Hey, does anybody know a website where I could order somewhat rare CDs for under 30$? Half.com is usually pretty good about it, but I really wanted to own copies of La Masquerade and stuff like that. I live in the U.S. btw

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

La Masquerade isn't rare at all, even the first printing isn't hard to find.

If all else fails, www.ebay.com

www.redstream.org
usually has some pretty good stuff for cheap as well.

Yea, half is a little sub-thinger of ebay, and the cheapest price for La Masquerade was like 15 plus shipping from Britain :angry: .

You changed your avatar.

The trades are where you burn a compilation cd and send it to someone and they do the same for you. It's just a way to get into stuff you may not have heard.

What, you like the old one better?

Ah, sounds good. Perhaps when I am not a n00b people will want to trade with me.

I have an extensive collection of LLN material.

NP : Bathory - A Fine Day to Die

I am going kinda old-school today.

[LordDargon]

I found a user I can download some actual (not fake) LLN stuff off. I'll post what I think.

My Soulseek doesn't work. It hasn't since Christmas. I actually uninstalled it and reinstalled it today, and it still doesn't work.

That sucks.
