Legions; care to expand on what's going on? :-/ Understandable if you don't, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Great choice of song, though.

I have no clue where Fresno is, :p , but if its anywhere in the vicinity of Ocala, Florida, then maby.....that would be weird :evil:. Good luck man! (if not)
Ehhh, I highly doubted it was you anyways. Fresno's up in kinda northern California. :lol:

Other than that, I MIGHT be able to record a sorta BM song I've been working on tonight, if I can fix my effects pedal. It kinda blew up, so I'm having to nigga-rig it now, but it might work. :lol: I can't do BM vocals for my life, but the song is mostly instrumental anyway, so it won't be that bad I hope. So tonight or tomorrow night I'll try to get it in the Audio Arena. I'll have to record digitally to Audacity, so there goes any Tro0-ness or N3cr0-ism I have, but whatever.

EDIT: And when the hell did I get stars???

What is the difference between black metal and death metal?
What is a good black metal band?

[Dancin' Man]

Production and vocals are two of the most notable differences. Black metal is more raspy while death vocals are more gutteral (usually).

Good black metal = Emperor, Borknagar, The Elysian Fields, Dissection (last two are more Melodic BM)

[RiceMonster]

Bass is usually louder in Death metal. The drumming differs as well.
More good black metal = 1349, Marduk, Darkthrone, Mayhem, Judas Iscariot, Abigor, Summoning.

[Psychotron]

Oh ok. Thanks. How about bands like inflames and killswitch engage and bleeding through?


I think I got it.
Are At The Gates a black metal band?

[Magicaltroll]

I'd appreciate it if you guys could recommend me some more metal bands :D

the ones I've been listening to lately are Opeth, Immortal, Emperor, Satryicon, Frost Like Ashes, and some Possession, and a little bit of In Flames.
i want to get into some more metal, ive heard alot of people mentioning (sp?) Cryptopsy.
are they really good?

I'd appreciate some help :thumb:

[Dancin' Man]

You should try Gothenburg sound of Melodic Death metal. I have a feeling you're talking about later In Flames. My suggestion - go to metal archives and search genre - Gothenburg

I got None So Vile by Cryptopsy when i was getting into death metal, and for some reason, I didn't like it.....I still don't really. I got a Nile CD a little bit ago, and even though it's a similar style of music, I like it MUCH MUCH better. So try Cryptopsy, and if you don't like it, then try other stuff

Cryptopsy are great. Since you seem to have broad tastes, I'll recommend Necrophagist(tech death), Lykathea Aflame (Most melodic DM band ever), Quo Vadis (thrash death prog), Behemoth (began as BM and have evolved to DM), Mithras (Great DM) and Naglfar (Melodic BM)

Naglfar will probably be the easiest of those for you to enjoy but all the rest are really worth checking out, especially for getting into Death metal.

[Moon Flavor]

Are At The Gates a black metal band?
Not in the least. They are melodic death.

[Moon Flavor]

Hey, can anyone tell me some good melodic death bands that AREN'T gothenburg? The only ones I have are Amon Amarth, opeth, newer Carcass etc, but I haven't heard about many past that.

Arghoslent
Quo Vadis

if this is the case, could i have some reasons? im not trying to start an arguement, but i've heard some emperor and mayhem(thanks to the chosen ones), among other bands of the like, but i fail to see the "ripping off" on dimmu's part. Sure there are some similiarities with emperor but from what i've heard, dimmu borgir has better production quality, catchier riffs and beats, and just as much of a dark and good sound. All im looking for is a more concise explanation of the dissent for dimmu borgir.

Same reason people dont like the new cradle of filth very much, because their old stuff was amazing compared to the new, "the Principle Of Evil Made Flesh" is one of my favorite albums, its just amazing, to where their new stuff, theres a few songs to where you are like "hey, thats pretty awesome" (ex. "An Enemy Led The Tempest") but not all of them as on older albums, well to me anyway.

by the way, does anyone know any bands that sound like old cradle of filth? because i love that stuff :thumb:

[Freezing Moon]

Off topic, but jcs497 sent me "Theory In Practice" and they rule. Everyone should definitly listen to them if they haven't already. Good stuff.

[ninjamonkey]

Ok, I need a bit of help. I dude I know (knows his metal fairly well) told me about this band who are death metal, have a guitarist/singer, drummer and a sax player. He said he found them on amazon, looking for the cray stuff or something. Anyone know what this might be?
Ephel Duath?

Check this new forum out

There's only 26 people registered right now, all from this site (admins, mods and all). So check it our and register if you want.
WHat is the purpose? Especially if they are all from here?

[br3ad_man]

No. Not Ephel Duath, they were the first to come to mind for me, but he said they weren't familar.

Turns out it was Painkiller, with John Zorn on sax and the dude from Napalm Death on drums. They're a good band, from what I can remember of them.

[Toozey]

'When Fire Rains Down from the sky, mankind will reap as it has sown' is a lot more brutal than 'The Codex Necro'.

No.

[Ve Das]

I know Ve Das' band have a sax player. Other than that I don't know who it could be.

Yeah,but we don´t play death metal.The heaviest we get is classic metal.Maybe he´s thinkin´of Pestilence?

edit: Thanks for the free promotion,though :D

[Dancin' Man]

If I were to make a metal mix of only the best songs in modern metal, what should go on it?

I'm thinking some Arsis, Mithras, Dissection and others. Give me a list people.

[Bartender]

Well what do you mean? Bands that have a particularly 'modern' sound, or just bands that are around today?

Mastodon fit either way, I think.

[Dancin' Man]

I'm thinking more extreme metal, otherwise I would have posted this in it's own thread or the community thread. I basically want the best of the best of extreme metal on this CD.

[Corporal Compendia]

You're welcome. Pestilence had a sax player?

Uh, no.

Suffocation, Behemoth and Misery Index in 3 days... ohh yeah.

[superpeer]

That sounds like an awesome gig. :)

Was gonna say Painkiller yesterday but didn't think they were death metal. That band is so messed up.

No.

hmmm..

[Ve Das]

On Spheres,I think.

[Dancin' Man]

I liked that song but the drums seemed like they kept getting off. They were definitely the worst part of the song, but overall it was good.

That riff almost sounds like Darkthrones Transilvanian Hunger's main riff.

Good song, but I have to agree with FF, the drums are the worst part.

[Freezing Moon]

Good song, but I have to agree with FF, the drums are the worst part.

Wow, yeah, it sounds extremely similiar to Transylvanian Hunger.

Good song though.

[Deathcrush]

True, the drums are horrible. I am not a big fan on those style of vocals, but they sound good for typical black metal vocals.

Nice one.

[MadSeasonAbove]

I would like to expand my horizon in the Death Metal category. Could someone list some bands I could get into. I am really into Opeth, especially their Deliverance cd. any help will be appreciated. Thanks
~MSA~

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

Go check out Lykathea Aflame, Cryptopsy, Death, Mithras and Behemoth, right now.

[Dancin' Man]

Go check out Lykathea Aflame, Cryptopsy, Death, Mithras and Behemoth, right now.

I love how those bands, especially Lykathea Aflame and Cryptopsy (or Krisy Kreme as some call it) are automatics for anyone asking about death metal.


Awesome bands. He's right check them out. Also it's interesting that someone who isn't already into death metal likes Deliverance best.

I personally those bands have the most to offer out of the death metal genre. Granted there are tons of other good or great bands, but these give the best stuff.

[MadSeasonAbove]

Thanks Bobo, I will check them out!

well to reply to FF's post, It took me a while to get used to Deliverance, the music was cool to me, but Mikael's growls were killer to my virgin ears! I threw the cd in the bottom of the pile and didnt listen for atleast 4 months, one day i was snooping and popped Deliverance in the player, and it was all of a sudden a spiritual thing man, like "why the heck did I not like this before??"
I seen them live in Tampa Bay *last year*, and was blown away! I havent been able to really find any other death metal to my liking like Opeth did for me. But Opeth popped my cherry, now I listen to all sorts of heavy vocals.

Give me a few, I'll recommend some.

Behemoth - Conquer All
Cryptopsy - Phobophile
Decapitated - Spheres Of Madness
Necrophagist - Seven

Also if you want a fast as hell song, check out Anaal Nathrakh - Pandemonic Hyperblast. Black metal, but it might fit ya.

[dimmuborgir54]

Unearthly Trance - The Aftermath was Morbid

If you want anymore just tell me, I know some good doom. :thumb:

[ninjamonkey]

Yes, I know the drums are off. It's difficult to do with my setup. If I had enough mics, I would be better off recording me playing real drums.

And yeah, the main riff is kind of similar to Transylvanian Hunger, but it's not the exact same, not to mention I add melody and harmonize. Plus, the copying wasn't intentional. ;)
I didn't even realize until SensitiveOrgan told me.

Candlemass

Sorry...doom ain't exactly my specialty. Wait til Jon gets here. He'll have a ton of doom for you.

[manuscriptreplica]

Death metal isn't slow!

[SSSnake...]

Yeah Dimmu, you said slow heavy songs :confused:

I feel as though my list was all but a waste of time :upset:

Darkthrone

Do you? Why don't you name some then instead of drone, stoner and slow death metal bands.

Doom is slow but just cos its slow doesn't mean it's neccessarily doom.

You want slow and heavy? You need Thee Plague of Gentlemen!

to be honest it's not compulsory to dislike newer cradle just because it's not tr00 people that are that narrow in their tastes I love mayhem, darkthrone and emperor plus marduk, zyklon and immortal but I also love cradle of filth
I can't be the only one that thinks this surely?

[Jondur]

Could you send a CD-R to me? It would be a good opportunity to discover some doom metal as I know very little about it and really liked what I've heard so far (besides funeral doom :p ).

send your address to jonathon[don'tspammeyoubuggers - delete this bit]_gibbs@hotmail.com and I'll see what I can do. Don't hold your breath though - I'm not exactly quick!

[NJMetalMeister]

Has nothing to do with metal at all, but im sure quite a few of you will want to hear this too.

Apparently hunter s. thompson committed suicide :(

All new thrash, death/thrash, and blackened thrash bands :D

Although any good one sounds like it came straight out of the 80's... no modern sound there.

[Ve Das]

No, it's all "synth guitars".

Really?Dömn,and there´s me thinkin´that´s an actual sax...
Rita will probably kill me...

[Dancin' Man]

Yeah Dimmu, you said slow heavy songs :confused:

I feel as though my list was all but a waste of time :upset:

Your list was killer as far as slow and heavy go, but you forgot Khanate, the heaviest of heavy.

[Dancin' Man]

So what I really want for this mix is something that will get people who are generally not fans of metal into metal without giving them stuff like Black Sabbath, Metallica and Slipknot. I want to get people in using Opeth as the lightest but not excluding bands like Arcturus. I want songs that really show off what you can find in metal, despite having harsh vocals. Lykathea Aflame is a good example of this overall.

[Iron Man]

I'm not a big expert on this, but I can give a few suggestions

Dissection - Night's Blood
Arsis - The Face of my Innocence
Lykathea Aflame - To Give
Death - Crystal Mountain
Opeth - The Leper Affinity
Arcturus - Radical Cut
Cryptopsy - Crown of Horns
Behemoth - Demigod
Quo Vadis - On the Shores of Ithaka

About half of those bands you suggested yourself, but ohwell :cool:

[Dancin' Man]

Iron Man, if you still want that Arsis album, get it from me on IM. My info explains how

[Dancin' Man]

Quo Vadis - On the Shores of Ithaka


I love this song because my town's name is Ithaca.

In my opinion, i would say "where dead angels lie" is a better dissection song to introduce people who are not into metal to than nights blood, althoug nights blood is the better song in my opinion.. The only other change i would make would be the Arcturus song, because that is totally unrepresentative to how they sound like and what the band brings to the table. Perhaps something like Nightmare Heaven, or The Chaos Path is a better example.

[NJMetalMeister]

I get what you mean, I think I put Radical Cut up there because he specified "Harsh vocals", but you know more about Arcturus than I do ;)

yeah, harsh vocal bands, is not what arcturus is good for really, although the radical cut is an excellent song, and is actually the song that got me interested in the band in the first place, after picking up the sham mirrors, i reailzed there is quite a bit more to that band. Arcturus is a hard listen though for people who arent into anything even remotely different (even within the metal scene), which is why i fear they do not get the recognition they diserve.

[whatduffhuck7]

is it just me or does anybody else think quo vadis is top notch band. i got day into night a little while ago and thats all ive been listening to. check out my review for quo vadis- day into night on the mx official review site sputnik

Same with the Emperor album Prometheus. I think it's amazing but because it's not strict black metal it's not recognized the way it should be. I'll go with of Nails and Sinners for Arcturus I think.

Apparently they sound like Hatebreed, Pantera, and Soulfly... so they must be crap.

Doom is slow but just cos its slow doesn't mean it's neccessarily doom.

You want slow and heavy? You need Thee Plague of Gentlemen!

Lets have a look see shall we.

Electric Wizard = Doom (despite what most think)
Sunn O))) = Drone Doom (Remember drone is practically extreme doom)
Burning Witch = of course they are ****ing doom!
Tyranny = Funeral Doom
Teeth of Lions.. = Drone Doom
Unearthly Trance (I'll give you that one)

In other words

......

I'm right.

[SSSnake...]

Your list was killer as far as slow and heavy go, but you forgot Khanate, the heaviest of heavy.

Dude, you are right. Doomers, get Khanate. That guy is so depressing to listen to it's scary.

Although all those genres are closely linked I'll disagree. I still class drone as a form of doom. And I don't know which of them you say are stoner. EW? I know some people say that, but they're doom to me.

Rwake are awesome. You heard Warhorse?

Well they're better than those bands... but they're still boring.
Pantera doesn't really relate to those 2.

hey bobotheraginghobo, i like your homepage. very good

[bassaholica2004]

On the subject of Doom, Skepticism's Sign of a Storm is still the single most depressing song I have ever heard. Overall the whole Stormcrowfleet album is a tad bit boring, but I think this song makes up for it.

Evoken's still my favorite Funeral Doom band though. :thumb:

I'm on Soulseek right now if you've got that. My soulseek name is the same as here. LegionsofMarduk. I've got Lykathea Aflame, Cryptopsy, Behemoth, Mithras and Death. Among other stuff you'd probably be into.

Rwake are awesome. You heard Warhorse?

(PS. I really wish there was a decent Doom Thread)

To be honest with you, I wouldn't even class drone as metal full stop. Burning Witch are the only one from that list that would fit in with doom. Great band btw.

Electric Wizard's first album is good but then they went a bit "happy bouncey" for me.

Funeral doom is just slow death metal with keyboards.

But I don't care cos I've just been with the missus for a scan and everythings looking fine. And even better - it's going to be a boy! Wicked! That means football, beer and metal not dolls, bacardi breezers and boys.

NP The Gates of Slumber - now THIS is doom!

ps I bumped the doom thread about a million times but it just doesn't keep going.

That's awesome man, congratulations.


You know band rules, even though they aren't extreme? Faith No More.

:wave:

Hey Jondur, can you reccomend me some crazy slow doom metal? I've heard of stuff thats like 15bpm, I'd definitely like to hear that.

[Jondur]

I don't know you. You implied in another page that you dislike me.

But, what?

Eh? What do you mean? Find me the page....


Br3ad - I think you'd be best off asking that sssnakey chap - he likes the funeral doom stuff and that is really slow. Stuff like Until Death Overtakes me is probably what you're after.

[lilpete86]

Congrats on the boy jondur.

[Lord Abortion]

hey cool... congratulations man!

don't press metal on him too much though or he'll rebel and listen to rap....

that would be bad...

[Jondur]

I have worried about that! After all I grew up listening to classical music (both my parents are professional classical musicians) and look how I turned out!

Unfortunately the downside of this is that I have decided to leave The River. It was a hard decision to make as I love that band and we're really doing well but family must come first and I simply can't afford to live in this part of the country (south england) anymore. Also my parents are in the north and we'll need their support. So as of May I'll be moving up to Macclesfield (near Manchester - Pete maybe I'll catch you in Manchester some time).

We're in the process of buying a house which'll be nice as some stability will be well needed (it has a cellar - can anyone say home studio?).

The River will of course continue (the guitarist plays drums anyway) maybe as a studio band though. We're recording a new demo theweek after next then there's two gigs in London (26th March at the Underworld with Reverend Bizarre, Brocas Helm, Ironsword and one other, and 5th April all-dayer at the Kingston Peel with Orange Goblin, Alabama Thunderpussy and a load of others) and then it's Doom Shall Rise in Germany on April 15/16th. And that'll be a fitting last gig for me.

[Lord Abortion]

well good luck man anyone seen a live cannibalism region 2 DVD?
amazon haven't got one

I always wondered about that. But if they grow up listening to the best kind of music from when they're babies, they're bound to realize that (mostly) everything else is laughable. So you should be set Jondur :thumb: Actually, kids probably would like power metal. Feed him lots of that. (ps. disregard everything I say, I'm 16 so my advice on parenting is useless.)

You could rival the famed Necrodeath Studios! :eek: :chug:

[Deathcrush]

Congratulations, Jondur, (I didn't know what the hell you were talking about earlier).

Does anyone here who records music at home have the same problem as me? - Doing vocals in a house that isn't detatched. :lol:

Whenever I get a free house, I notice I still don't put all the energy and power into my vocals, because next door and anyone outside will still hear me. It sucks. :(

[LordDargon]

I made up some old-school 50x50 Horde avatars for you guys.

mmm... necrodeath

[Jondur]

I don't want him to grow up gay. And thinking he's a medieval warrior while wearing spandex. :p

No I reckon there'll be lots of Maiden, Sabbath and St Vitus as those are the only bands that me and the missus agree on! Then soon he'll be starting a mosh at nursery!

You could rival the famed Necrodeath Studios! :eek: :chug:

I could rival necrodeath with a dictaphone.

I've got a digital 8 track workstation, I'm getting a electronic kit so I can play at any time, I've guitars and keys so I reckon I can keep myself amused!

[HappyMarshmellow]

I'm getting more into the filthy oldskool grind stuff now. Anyone ever heard of Sepsism or Haemorrhage?

Oh, yeah, the demo!

I SENT IT! YEAH!!!

Finally.

It was sent on Saturday. Depending on wether the mailmail feels like it or not, you should get it sometime this century.

Just kidding. But I did send it! Finally.

I only made 20 copies. Already 7 of them are gone...

Sucks to here about the River,but way to go on the kid stuff :) Wish ye a bigtime well on that :thumb:
Where exactly is this doom shall rise thingy in Germany?Might be cool to drop by if it ain´t exactly on the other side of the country :)

Well, if anyone deserves to be the baphomet king...

*takes off hat*

[Deathcrush]

KVLT!

I am all over the place with my stuff - I want to make goregrind/sludge and I also want to make black metal.

I am not up for mixing the two though, so I guess I have two projects.

[Shred Danson]

(not really, just sayin'...)

[Ve Das]

I´ve just had an idea:

How about we call ourselves after medieval charachters.I mean,we already have a "king"(and an executioner) so what about "the baphomet knight" or "the baphomet jester"etc.
The Baphomet Robin Hood sounds a bit gäy though

[HappyMarshmellow]

Is that the demo of your band or just a mix of death metal?

My solo-project demo. I showed it to some musicians and they agreed to join my "project", and hopefully this friday my project will turn into a real band.

I also quit the stupid metal-core band I was in (Genocide Apocalypse). That was retarded, they told me they wanted to play death metal but they lied.

KVLT!

Instead of mixing things up or complicating the issue with two projects, why don't you just make one released focused on one subject matter (say for example, an ambiental black metal album in the vein of the stuff from Moribun Cult records; then a pure filthy oldskool grind release in the vein of Scum?)

[superpeer]

That's what the Power Metal clan did, did they not?

EDIT : Ve Das

[Ve Das]

They did?Sh1t!
I think I´ll have to think up something new.
King...executioner...

WWF theme?

Yeah, I completely know where your coming from here. I'm not to keen on the idea of my neighbours thinking i'm murdering someone in my own home when I wanna do some harsh vocals :lol: but it's gotta be done I guess.

Don't you dudes have basements or something? Just tell them you're recording a death metal demo.

[SSSnake...]

Haven't got a basement. Just the attic room where the computer is. That's how I record. Guess it isn't too bad here tbh. Just this old guy next door. This neighbourhood where I live is full of rap and hip hop knob-jockeys walking about 'dissing' my preferences (on several occasions). I guess thats my problem with shouting as loud as possible. But you're right. **** em. They can rot.

[bassaholica2004]

Heh, this weekend my band is recording our demo, and the house I live in is very small, and the walls are thin, and my room is right next to the family room, so my parents are probably gonna freak out when we do the vocals. My guitarist/vocalist's vocals are ****ing insane, and way loud too. Its gonna be an interesting night. :lol:

And about the demo, I don't know how much we'll be able to record. We're recording directly to my computer with Audacity, so we'll have to do each instrument alone. We won't have drums either because the drummer is staying up in Fresno, and we have no way to record him either. But we're looking at a 45 minute - 1 hour long demo, and its mostly death with a large thrash influence. It probably won't sound as good without drums, but it will give us a look on how its gonna be.

I'll be uploading them onto Soundclick this weekend most likely if anyone's interested.

[Griffin_Page]

, so we'll have to do each instrument alone.

That's the way they had ought to be recorded. It will come out better that way. Sorry about the drummer situation. At least you have a drummer :P

Once my computer goes in my room, I'll be recording the Mithryl demos, and it looks to just be me and my bassist friend doing the recording... I guess I'll use a drum machine and do the vocals myself for now. Oh well.

[Deathcrush]

**** the neighbors.

Don't you dudes have basements or something? Just tell them you're recording a death metal demo.

Heh, no basement. Everything is recorded in my bedroom, where the 8-track is.

My house and my neighbour's are enemies. The girl living there is the same age as me, and her boyfriend, brother, mom, mom's boyfriend can usually be found there.

We are enemies mainly because of the noise that comes from her house. They are constantly blasting totally gay hip-hop etc.

That is why it is kinda awkward, us always complaining about noise, then me screaming my head off. :lol:

Do you guys do vocals when there are other people in the house? I sure as hell don't. My family are going down to relative's this weekend, so I plan on writing/recording heaps this week, 'cause they are going on friday and coming back on saturday, so I don't have alot of time. :(

We practice (or used to) every Friday. We did this with the windows open because we don't like the heat. The vocalist would scream his head off, I would rip the strungs out of my guitar and the amplifier would blast out noise accordingly, and the drummer would slam with all his force onto the skins/

My friend, who lives about two or three blocks away, says he can hear the noise and wonders where the hell it comes from.

[Erida]

I'm listening to Opeth, Systemm of a down, Therion... Are they "death"? :P I'm not good in music genres... :P

[NJMetalMeister]

Opeth is death influenced, but not a straight deateh metal band. SOAD and Therion are not death at all (excluding old therion)

[Erida]

I'll learn something on this forum :P
What about Moonspell? I like them to, but not so much like Opeth, and the other stuff :D

Can you give some kind of definiction of death metal?

I am going to record a black metal song I wrote today, it is very Darkthrone - Transylvanian Hunger era sounding. I am not too sure about the stucture though, it doesn't really "go".

[NJMetalMeister]

I can give you a great definition of death metal in one song:

"Pull the Plug" by Death
