any other death heads?

[HappyMarshmellow]

Thanks!

Yes, the only vocals that I am truly satisfied with on that disc is on track 3 "Kill For Jesus".

I don't know how to limit the levels so that's why the vocals are strange sometimes. I did this all by myself, remember? :lol:

[Stevie]

:) The riffs and everything are great. But the vocals do need just a bit more something to them....

[Lord Abortion]

doing the whole varg one man band thing will be difficult
ever planning to play live?
or do an annal (that sounds odd) and not ever play live :wave:

[Stevie]

Don't forget Bathory, Lord Marrkh, and others! It's what I would do if I were to create music. I much prefer working alone.

indeed just anaal were the band I was listening to when I posted
close to hand as it were :)
live would be hard to cut though
varg did it O.K
who can forget "Burzum tour '92- coming to a church near you"

[Stevie]

Burzum was never ever live :o.

[Lord Abortion]

really ???
then what was the tour poster I saw about then?
this is not me being stupid but genuinley surprised at this false information...

[Stevie]

Nah, that's just a drawing by a fan, or something. There's even a bootleg I've downloaded with Burzum "live".

[Lord Abortion]

ah right fine
mortiis played live though after he left emperor -well, he mimed and played keyboards to a background of him walking around some ruins ...
have you heard some of his stuff on black metal radio?
there's one song called something like "enscholled I krystal " or something that's wierd
just odd crystalline noises and echoes

[Stevie]

I've seen a couple of Mortiis videos. Hardly even metal at all. Not very good stuff. I did begin to enjoy one of his songs having watched the video a good 10 times or something...the opening "riff". That's it.

[Lord Abortion]

the new stuff is rubbish but the just post emperor stuff is pretty good
he really left in time not to get involved in the "inner circle"

[Lord Abortion]

stevie,

I think it's all kind of cool. Definitely different.

Anyone know where I can get a Lords of Chaos PDF? Or any other cool PDFs, at that?

I've got most of Vargsmal translated, but it's in html not pdf. I haven't seen Lord of Chaos anywhere.

[Stevie]

What do you guys thinkz of Exhumed?

[RetiredAt21]

They are alright. I don't have too much of their stuff downloaded, but what I have, I like.

I think I have the entire Gore Metal album downloaded.

[Deathcrush]

I have Platters of Splatter and Slaughtercult.

Good schtuff.

Haha, I was improvising with a very loud bass guitar with loads of delay earlier, and my mother entered my room looking very concerned, claiming that my music sounds like something from a "death chamber" and is very evil and horrible.

Awesome. :D

[RetiredAt21]

30 N3cro points for you. I'd rep you...but I can't.

Exhumed are cool... Gore Metal is still my favourite.

[whatduffhuck7]

PRO-PAIN great band. not very popular, but great band. there solo's are my favorite part of there songs, any body else a fan of pro-pain?

[Corporal Compendia]

Pro-Pain totally sucks... when I'm at the Kreator show, I'll spend my time up at the bar when Pro-Pain is on.

[project3]

SUp people...... we are a new metal/rock band in town.....vistit our site @ www.project3.us and let us know what yah think..... :evil:

Alright, well I totally THINK you should stay the hell out of this thread and forum for the rest of your life.

[devonte_da_drummer]

my favorite metal bands would have to be
As I Lay Dying, Haste the Day, Extol, Norma Jean(Ludi-Kriss), Demon Hunter, Living Sacrifice, Underoath, and (not that heavy, but still good) Dead Poetic.

[Freezing Moon]

Haha, I'm so tr00, my mother can't handle the evilness of my bass playing!

Haha, right on.

A week or so ago, I was experimenting with vocal effects in my room, and my mom comes in yelling if I'm allright. She was completely freaked out when she saw that I had been recording. :)

She's always going on about my "hate music". It's pretty funny.

[Piecewise]

Ok, i didn't read all the posts, but wtf - OPETH mofo. Not only do they play some trippy asss rock, crazy phucking death metal, sorry, but i love their classical stuff.
Some of Dimmu Borgir is awsome and some sucks. U guys r going to laugh at this - phucking King Diamond, yay, I love the guitar playing from that dude, their harmonies modulate unpredicatbaly, only thing is i hate their singer, he ruins the songs so much, that i just listen to the intro's now. If they could of just found a better singer they would have been one of the best bands. I mainly like death metal guitar + drumming, the singing thing is so...cheesy sometimes..if they can do it right then it is cool, otherwise it sounds lame.

[Piecewise]

im not sure if they are death metal, i mean what defines it, screaming lyrics? anyways i really like in-flames older stuff.

[br3ad_man]

Happy Marshmellow, I'd like to hear your demo, but I don't want you to have to mail it to me, is their any chance of some mp3s?

[Stevie]

Haha, I'm so tr00, my mother can't handle the evilness of my bass playing!

:lol: Good stuff...

[ArandomBassist]

I just heard some Woods of Ypres... i must say i quite enjoyed them. My friend described them as "summer black metal" so i had to check them out.

Haha, same here. :lol:

My friend is taking back his bass before the end of the week, and I had the big recording session for my demo planned for this weekend, as I will have a free house.

I suppose I could record the bass tracks before the end of the week, but I will need a free house to do my big, long ambient tracks. :(

[Cardboard Headgear]

Well, I just got back from being murdered by none other than Cryptopsy at The Pound in SF. The first band up was a local act by the name of Light The City (I think) and they weren't bad, had an At The Gates style thing going on. They were also all young, all around 20ish I'd say. Their frontman (er woman) was a girl sporting a Death shirt and a pretty mean scream. She could also actually growl too! Not any of that Angela Gossow stuff, she was actually going low. The two hardcore bands that followed sucked so bad, I only watched one and then headed outside for the other. It was like hearing the same breakdown for an hour. Then out came Cattle Decapitation, and I have to say that singer is the craziest guy I've seen. He actually looks possesed when he's doing his crazy as **** vocals, spazzing out, eyes rolling back in his head, and drooling all over himself, etc. Then in between songs he was acting like a normal guy. Very strange. Then it was CRYPTOPSY. They played through the entier None So Vile album, then a mind blowing solo from Flo, then Cold Hate, Warm Blood, We Bleed, and then there it was. Lord Worm came out with a chalise filled with worms and began eating them. Then he started feeding them to the crowd. It was one of the coolest things I've seen at a show, and the music the band was playing was uber-demented and totally fitting. I however did not get a worm snack :upset:. Then they ended with White Worms. I'm half deaf and sore as all hell from being up at the front and headbanging the whole time, but it's totally worth it. I got Lord Worm to sign a Cryptopsy sticker which is now adorning my guitar. That guy is some kind of evil genius or something, he's nuts. Meh, there's more but I'm about to crash out and sleep till tomorrow afternoon. Maybe I'll write some more later.

EDIT: Wow, I didn't realize I wrote so much.

[br3ad_man]

The whole None So Vile album? That's great!

[Stevie]

None So Vile's hard to find here. I bought it luckily, then the CD was bent, and I had to bend it back to work again. Eventually it snapped :(. Now I keep looking around for the album.

[manuscriptreplica]

Stevie and The Emperor: please stop spamming this thread, it's at a very annoying stage now.

they took the mp3's off their website :( I only managed to get 2 of them. "shredding the deadwood" is unbelieveably good though

[LegionsofMarduk]

I still prefer Will Of The Ancients and Frozen Shadows for Candian black metal.

What happened to the last page!? It's like we got an infestation of idiots!

That cryptopsy gig sounded amazing. I'm really looking forward to seeing them when they come to the UK. I want to see cattle decapitation too.

How were cryptopsy without jon?

Ah, I only have Anatomy is Destiny from Exhumed, but still...good stuff.

[Cardboard Headgear]

The end to my story was that I got to meet Lord Worm, Daniel Mongrain (and got them to sign their respective band's stickers), and got to shake hands with everyone but Flo, who is an extremely mellow guy for someone so hyperactive on drums. Worm also grabbed my and other's heads for some reason during the show, it was like some bizarre baptism ceremony or something.

Do you have your own drums, or do you use a drum machine, and what do you use to record?

[Magicaltroll]

Ok, I've heard pretty good things about the band Katatonia. Are they really good? Or are people just stupid? And if they are good, What are some good songs to start me off?

And that Cryptopsy concert up there sounded awesome. Next time, if they come again, I might go see them.

[funk_metalguitarist]

I've heard quite a lot of Katatonia's stuff but personally I find most of them fairly boring. But still, you should check out like teargas, ghost of the sun etc.

[Deathcrush]

I wish I had a bass.

Do you have your own drums, or do you use a drum machine, and what do you use to record?

I use Fruity Loops for drums ( :( ) and a Tascam MKII (can't remember the number, I'm at school right now) which is an 8-track to record.

Cassettes ++

Anyone a fan of Unleashed? \m/

[NJMetalMeister]

hey man fruity loops isnt that bad, you can really get some neat sounding stuff out of it, maybe not the most useful thing for black metal, but if youre just fooling around trying to come up with interesting and weird beats its great.

Download ANY song.


While it may not be death metal (it could be, but its more like Meshuggah than anything), you have to have respect for this guy.



He is using a sequencer which is similar to Fruity Loops.

[Deathcrush]

Nah, I know it isn't bad, it works well for me, it gets the job done. :)

It just kinda sounds embarrassing telling someone that you use a program originally designed for techno etc. to get the drums for your black metal.

I am actually pretty good at it, when I made a pretty technical gore death metal track ages ago just for something to do, I programmed the drums pretty well.

However, for my black metal project (Gorlosk) the drums don't need to be complicated at all.

Quite alot of bands have used programs similar to it, and you would never have noticed.

[Stoic]

I havent mentioned Luen Ta in here, have I? They play catchy progressive death in the vein of late death and I'm starting liking them: http://www.luen-ta.org/mp3.php

Excellent man. Deathcrush and Freezing Moon are awesome./
yeah freezing moon may be the greatest BM song of all time...

I dunno wether the drummer will be able to handle funeral fog and learning stuff by ear
I have tried to tab freezing moon for him but it seems impossible...
:amaze: so many different fills

[ThrashMaster27]

Not sure if they've been mentioned at all, but I'm quite interested to know. I listened to samples of Deadborn, a band with two ex-member of Necrophagist in. Kinda sound familiar with their previous band aswell.

Anyway, I was wondering if they were recommended, as they seem pretty good.

[ICB]

Anyone a fan of Unleashed? \m/

Got Hell's Unleashed in my stereo at home right now. Good band.

[Deathcrush]

I only have "Where No Life Dwells" and I love it. It is one of the many death metal CDs that my old guitar teacher gave to me for a while that got me into death metal.

Across The Open Sea is a really good album. To Asgaard We Fly!

[Dancin' Man]

Cold Hate, Warm Blood + Lord Worm = orgasm

How do you say Anaal Nathrakh?

I bought total ****ing necro from my local record shop. (The funny thing is, Matt Davies from funeral for a friend actually sold it to me.

And I must say it is a brilliant album, not totally unlike anything I've ever heard, but some of the best death metal ever to pour out of my speakers.

Uh... it says right at the start of TFN. "Anaal Nathrakh." Just like it looks. :-/

And it's BLACK METAL. Get this down or you will be dismembered within 3 seconds. Do a search if you want to know the difference, it's been typed out thousands of times on this site.

[shamed-angel]

Sorry. I thought that seeing as the first album was called 'The Codex Necro' that it was Death metal. Necro=Death. My mistake. They do sound alot slower than cannibal corpse and the like.

[Deathcrush]

:lol: Bah ha ha ha ha!

At least you like the stuff, that's what matters most.

[kol dave]

does anyone know wht album pandomonic hyperblast by anaal nathrakh is on, cos i heard it, then shortly after got an album, but none of the songs were up to the standard of that (although on the first track of the album, i wish i could vomit blood on you people, someone hurls down the microphone)

[Cardboard Headgear]

Oh yeah, one last thing about the Cryptopsy show. The scream in Open Face Surgery? Worm did it all the way to the very end of the song. Absolutely rediculous.

[i am the robots]

Yeah, Lord Wyrm's scream in Open Face Surgery is like 38 seconds long, the closest I have heard to that is probably 17 seconds in Touch Of Red by In Flames (not really brutal death metal, but just mentioning in comparison).

[Berner]

It's 27 seconds actually. Anyone here like Unexpect?

I'll check it out later.

EDIT : Okay, I checked it out. wtf.

What genre is that?

[Berner]

I'll check it out later.

EDIT : Okay, I checked it out. wtf.

What genre is that?I put it as progressive black metal. It is all over the place, but I hear BM traits in it the most.

[Deathcrush]

I hear some black metal influences, but there is far too much "gothic" sounding stuff in it.

I don't really listen to gothic music, so I may be wrong there. But bleh.

I didn't like it at all.

Is that the sort of responce you were looking for?

EDIT : No, really, that was just gay. The singing bit just cracks me up.

[Berner]

I hear some black metal influences, but there is far too much "gothic" sounding stuff in it.

EDIT : No, really, that was just gay. The singing bit just cracks me up.I know lots of tr00 people that liked it so I was wondering what you guys thought of it.

[i am the robots]

Nah, it's not really Gothic music, Goth is more like The Cure.

[Deathcrush]

Yeah, I know it isn't Gothic music, but it certainly has alot of gothic sounding parts.

When I say gothic there, I mean in the same sense as Cradle of Filth.

[Deathcrush]

I know lots of tr00 people that liked it so I was wondering what you guys thought of it.

Nah, I mean I like music other than black metal and dark ambient, but that sort of stuff just really does nothing to me.

I like it to feel totally from the heart.

[i am the robots]

I don't really think you could classify the feel of something, or whether or not it "comes from the heart" but I kinda know what you meen. And never, EVER call CoF Gothic. They are fake Black Metal, and half decent.... if you feel like listening to something over the top and cheesey.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

Nah, it's not really Gothic music, Goth is more like The Cure.


Thats gothic rock...

There is such a thing as gothic metal you do know...

Graveworm
After Forever
Within Temptation (earlier stuff)
Moonspell
Cradle Of Filth
etc etc

And no, Cradle Of Filth is gothic metal with black metal influences and have never claimed to be black metal nor want to be called it. Like it or not, that is what they are.

[Deathcrush]

Yeah, I know they aren't actually gothic, but they are often labelled as that, and I was meaning "gothic" in the same sense as what Cradle of Filth are labelled for.

If my sentences aren't making sense, I apologise, I need sleep.

:lol: I was just thinking if I was into the whole traditional Scotish culture more, imagine me in corpse paint and a kilt, making black metal with bagpipes playing in the background and "True Scotish Black Metal" pasted accross the album sleeve.

That would be awesome.

I am cosidering learning the old Scotish Gaelic, I can't remember how it is spelled.

There are still parts of Scotland that speak it, perhaps I could find someone from there to help me learn it.

yeah freezing moon may be the greatest BM song of all time...

I dunno wether the drummer will be able to handle funeral fog and learning stuff by ear
I have tried to tab freezing moon for him but it seems impossible...
:amaze: so many different fills
Alot of early Mayhem is just fast, not really very complex(Now, its alot crazier). Freezing moon is quite simple, just really fast at points. He shoudln't have too much of a problem.

[bassaholica2004]

Anybody heard of the German band Fleshcrawl? I've heard one song, and its pretty good melodic-Death Metal (not Gothenburg style).

[Dancin' Man]

Like Arsis sort of Melodic death?

That is, in code, how do they compare to Arsis, current kings of Melodic Death.

[bassaholica2004]

has anyone heard eqarial and what are some good songs by them and where can i find some Mp3's

oh and im dumb so ill ask what is AIM...do you have to pay

It's a free messenger service by AOL. Very useful for online addicts like myself.

And like I said back in your thread, yes I have heard of esqarial and have all their full lengths on my computer. Great band.

the female backing vocallist on cradle of filth's the principle of evil made flesh was the wife of emperor dude samoth

[LegionsofMarduk]

I don't really like that Unexpect song. I think if the vox were different it would be better. It was getting on my nerves so I only listened to about 2 minutes of it so it may have gotten better, but I didn't like what I heard.

[LordDargon]

Oh yeah, one last thing about the Cryptopsy show. The scream in Open Face Surgery? Worm did it all the way to the very end of the song. Absolutely rediculous.
:eek: x 666

Was it good though? The screams on that preview track were really bad.

Shut up, you don't know what you're talking about. I thought you'd left anyways.

Naw, that'd be Intestine Baalism. Dissection would take it but the new stuff is anus. Arghoslent come close too.



Oh yeah, True Scottish Black Metal sounds ****ing BRILLIANT! :lol:

I would make a joke Scottish Black Metal Tape if I wasn't so serious about my black metal. :mad:

people have to have their own cultural heritage for black metal

except white america which has no history...

:D no offence to americans but your history is pretty rubbish

Anyone here know the Meads of Asphodel? They do some experimental sorta stuff with middle eastern influences. If anyone can tell me how I can do it, I'll post one of their songs...

[NJMetalMeister]

except white america which has no history...

:D no offence to americans but your history is pretty rubbish

no way man, american history is pretty sweet, it wouldnt work for black metal, that is for sure, but to say that we have no history or it is rubbish is just wrong.

It's funny, now living in europe i hear all the time that "americans have no culture" or "no history" or any of that stuff, but then when you start to tell the europeans the huge differences between the two landmasses they are almost astounded. :)

EDIT:

Oh and stevie, just go to www.yousendit.com and put your own email address in for the recipient address, then when you have the link, just post the link here, and all can listen.

but my opinion of history in the U.S has improved since buying the last Iced earth album

Unleashed is awesome, I have Shadows In The Deep and Across The Open Sea, both great. Excellent band. Along the same lines, Grave and old Entombed anyone?

Oh, hell yeah, man. I ****in' love Grave.

I can't tell you how many times a goth has came up to me with a CoF CD saying "do you like this band? I saw them on Ozzfest, they're black metal".

[Stevie]

Sorta black metal (but I won't safely call it that) with a mix of middle eastern influences, and stuff. Strange stuff, only good for if you "have an open mind"...(on the contrary, I hate that statement, it makes it out that people who hate it don't have an open mind, but you know what I mean, right?)

http://www.themeadsofasphodel.com/

The site has 4 sample songs, not their best, but it'll give you an idea. They wear chainmail and such, it looks quite funny really, like the album cover:

http://www.metal-observer.com/covers/cov4075.jpg

with this on the inside:

http://www.supernalmusic.com/images/TMOA%20-%20group%20photo.jpg

THey seem quite a local band, their last 2 albums at least were recored in a shoddy studio a 2 minute drive from here. I discovered them through a split with MayheM.

[NJMetalMeister]

It's a fair point but ... I still stand by that they don't have a depth of stuff like over here ...

but my opinion of history in the U.S has improved since buying the last Iced earth album

Well there is a reason there isnt as much depth, the country has only been around like 200 years man, and everything before that had the same culture as a european counterpart. I mean im in germany now, and although it was blown the hell up in WW2 (although not all of it, i have been to a few cities that remained totally unscathed, like Heidelberg), there is quite a bit of history from here because there have been people living here for thousands of years, which unlike in the US, they werent driven off their land completely and almost completely whiped out due to a bunch of presidents wanting more land in the 1800s haha.

Just my two cents, as an american living in Europe, i understand your point, but i also realize how very wrong it is :cool:

[Dancin' Man]

Does anyone like An Albatross. I don't think they're metal, but I think they'd appeal a lot to grind fans.

I do. I think they are most similar to HORSE the Band except better and heavier. I met an ex band mate of the singer. The singer used to be the drummer for the guy I met.

Anyone here know the Meads of Asphodel? They do some experimental sorta stuff with middle eastern influences. If anyone can tell me how I can do it, I'll post one of their songs...

I've heard like 2 songs and loved them but I can't find anymore. Bartender recommened them to me and I never found any. Very, very disappointing.

www.yousendit.com easy to use.

argument about my culture the whole point of American culture is that it combines a bunch of stuff to make something new. Imagine today's music without America. No jazz, no blues, no soul, no rock and quite possibly, no metal.

[ICB]

The site has 4 sample songs, not their best, but it'll give you an idea. They wear chainmail and such, it looks quite funny really, like the album cover:

:lol: Wow.

"We are medieval knights for the dark lord!"

[Jondur]

To buy Meads of Asphodel go to Supernal. They wear all the chainmail and stuff to hide their identities. The people were fairly well known in the UK underground so they tried to keep it a secret. They failed.

[ICB]

I remember watching that "Battle for Ozzfest" show and seeing the band wearing the chainmail. That was great, man. The rest of the show pretty much sucked, but that one little part made the **** show :lol: .

[Stevie]

OK, I'm uploading one of their songs at Yousendit, as long as I can get it to work, I'll post the link here.

[Dancin' Man]

Thanks a lot. I just realized, I misspelled Asphodel as Aphosdel on my slsk wishlist. This explains some things.

I hopes that workz.

[Bartender]

I never really understood why the Meads get given the name of black metal. There's a little bit in there, and a lot in terms of their lyrics and themes, but not really anything overwhelming to mark them as black metal in sound.

[TTTSNB]

yeah it's nteresting how hellhmmer's drum style has evolved...
that doesn't stop european legions from being balls though :angry:

No problem man. Yeah I doubt any drummer here can play Hellhammer's new stuff.

[LordDargon]

I can't tell you how many times a goth has came up to me with a CoF CD saying "do you like this band? I saw them on Ozzfest, they're black metal".
Punch them in their fat, pasty faces and grab the CD in one smooth motion. Then, throw it on the ground and jump up and down on it. :cool:

Imagine today's music without America. No jazz, no blues, no soul, no rock and quite possibly, no metal.
Metal would be around, although it would certainly sound different. No bay area :( As for the other stuff - WHO GIVES A ****? :lol:



I knew of Meads of Asphodel becuase I was looking for really long song titles so I could start this thread. I have never heard them though. The armour stuff is funny.

[Bartender]

Metal would be around, although it would certainly sound different. No bay area :( As for the other stuff - WHO GIVES A ****? :lol:


Without native African music brought to America by the slaves, there would have been no blues, and so no jazz, and so no rock'n'roll, and so no rock in general, and so no metal.

Oh crap. I was just thinking of all the early metal bands being British... but yeah, I see your point.

He understands just fine. He's just a purposely close minded, tr00 metalhead. Once you get to know him, you stop caring.

I remember reading a line about them in metal hammer, it said something like: superdumber medieval clowns who suck ^%$^% :P...

Yup. I have Made of Flesh and Descend Into the Absurd. I wouldn't call it melodic death. Just death. The newer stuff is much more melodic though so I guess you could call the new stuff melodic death.

Well, why do we have to listen to all day long, to be death metal fans?

Anyway, the vocals aren't always (in fact, often aren't) a big part of death metal music. At least not in the same way as other vocal styles. They're often more like another instrument.

Pop in Gorguts' Obscura album and it should help you understand how complex it all is. Then you'll have to realize that although you cannot understand that album at all, you can appreciate the songwriting and attention to detail that is paid to make it sound so chaotic and bizarre. It makes Led Zepplin look like amateurs in terms of interesting-ness (yeah, even the really awesome Black Dog timing in the intro). It's also a good band to use to try to show someone how the vocals are not the most important thing to listen to.

When I listen to death metal, instead of hearing someone inaudibly screaming "kill kill kill stereotypical death stuff etc", It sounds like just an extra drum or something. Like a drum that makes notes. It's very nice, and I prefer a lot of it to other styles of singing

Lykathea Aflame = "Life, afterlife, meaning of life!"

[Bartender]

Yeah, I know what you mean. It depends which band, though. Cryptopsy (cliche example, but it works) for example..even if you try, you'd be hard pressed to decipher much of Lord Worm's lyrics, so his voice works really well as an extra rhythmic instrument.

But then you do get vocalists like Chuck Schuldiner, or the guy from Arghoslent (I don't know either his real name or his band name) who it's actually possible to "sing" along to, which is great for entirely different reasons.

I had a really strong urge to mention Ross Dolan somewhere whilst typing that, but I couldn't think of any way to work him in.

Yea, I can understand most of my death metal, every word of it. But people who haven't listened to a lot of it wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Lord Worm or Atilla or Mikael Akerfeldt if you put a gun to their head.

Equilibrium is a great band.

[i am the robots]

Yeah, I know what you mean. It depends which band, though. Cryptopsy (cliche example, but it works) for example..even if you try, you'd be hard pressed to decipher much of Lord Worm's lyrics, so his voice works really well as an extra rhythmic instrument.

But then you do get vocalists like Chuck Schuldiner, or the guy from Arghoslent (I don't know either his real name or his band name) who it's actually possible to "sing" along to, which is great for entirely different reasons.

I had a really strong urge to mention Ross Dolan somewhere whilst typing that, but I couldn't think of any way to work him in.

I cannot understand a single thing that Wyrm says, and to tell you the truth, I don't like his vocals, I just like the music.

Yes, yes they are.

That is if you are talking about the new band from Germany that plays viking/folk metal...

[Dancin' Man]

Equilibrium is a great band.

Yes. Super great

[i am the robots]

viking metal is bizarre imo.

Worm. Not Wyrm. Don't start thinking you're clever.

[Dancin' Man]

EDIT: I'm not even going to start.

[ninjamonkey]

Yes, yes they are.

Yes, I was.

The drums to the song I'm doing right now. The possible guitar parts are feeling a bit black metal. We'll see where it goes.

god **** it your an ***. I just realized I was mispelling it, but, I'm gonna keep it up too show how cool i am. and to piss you off jackass

The Y is 4 keys away from the O. It was not an accident. The only reason you aren't on my ignore list is because it makes the window ugly and I'm one for aesthetics.

Must I ****ing explain? I realized I was spelling it wrong today, bobo corrected me, all is fine. But you my friend seem to think talking about how dumb I am proves how smart you are. Just be quiet.

[i am the robots]

Well now that I have heard me some Viking Metal, I must say, it is bizarre to me, but is good.

and guess what: Lord Wyrm!

[Dancin' Man]

I suppose it has to be ugly then. My song is coming really well. I think I can have it done tonight for you folks.

[YourPoisonWords]

well I dont think the whole mentioning your favorite Death Metal bands is still going on, but I will still do it.

Death
Morbid Angel
Glass Casket
Between The Buried And Me
Napalm Death
Cattle Decapitaion
The Red Chord
Anal Cunt(more grind influences but still good, besides, thats where Death Metal came from)
and I kinda Black Dahlia Murder

Death to Power Metal!

[YourPoisonWords]

oh and Carcass is cool

[i am the robots]

Why death to power metal

I am sickened.

[ninjamonkey]

Anal Cunt(more grind influences but still good, besides, thats where Death Metal came from)

Um, no.

[i am the robots]

Anal Cunt are so childish, I cannot stand them at all.

Vomitorial Corpulance are good grind.

[YourPoisonWords]

and I know The Chariot isnt Death Metal, but they are very very good, if you havent heard I recommend you do soon

[YourPoisonWords]

Actually, Death Metal did come from Grindcore, Napalm Death was the first Grindcore band and Death (drawing the majority of their influnces from Napalm Death) was the first Death Metal band, therefore Death Metal would not be without Grind

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

Um, no.

123

I have to say, you are an idiot if you think Anal Cunt started death metal.

[Bartender]

I think he means that grind led to death metal, not that AC themselves started it.

[YourPoisonWords]

yes exactly

Death were an early Death Metal band, and also partially Grindcore, but they are not the first Death Metal band.

Then he should have worded his sentence better then that.

[YourPoisonWords]

Really? I've always heard Death was the first. In that case can you tell me who was the first?

[Bartender]

Then he should have worded his sentence better then that.

Yeah, he should have, since AC are neither early nor serious.

[i am the robots]

Featured Genre #1: Technical Death Metal

go to the thread silly

[Bartender]

There's a case to be made for Possessed. Though Seven Churches is really a thrash record, it could be said to have influenced death metal in the same way Venom influenced black metal.

Apparently there was a band called Morbid who released a demo in '83, but I'm basing that purely on the word of one man. Reliable though he is, I can't find anything else about them.

[YourPoisonWords]

Aw, I see. Thats a very informing thread. I had no idea drum blasts had a name

[ForiegnPenguin]

Just got Character by Dark Tranquility and I like it alot. More than Damage Done anyway.

[i am the robots]

Yeah, Poison Words, some advice, just sit around and suck in everything people say like a spunge, and get in with the groove.

[ninjamonkey]

I think he means that grind led to death metal, not that AC themselves started it.
I know this. Either way he is wrong.

Yeah, DT are really good, but I say Skydancer is their best album, but I'd take this to the Melodic Death Metal thread, a lot of people who post here don't like mentioning the "fake" death metal bands.

[YourPoisonWords]

Yeah I am pretty new to Death Metal, and no one I know likes Death Metal, so, you guys are pretty much my only source besides myself

[Bartender]

I know this. Either way he is wrong.

Why?

[ForiegnPenguin]

Do you have any Cryptopsy albums?


How is None So Live?
