[Toozey]

well Loozey,

You are, of course, correct. Mithras are totally unique and the guitar work is in no way similar to Morbid Angel.

There is nothing wrong with acknowledging that a band has obvious influences. My favourite bands owe huge debts to other bands but it's what they've done with it that counts. Mithras have built their sound from the spaced out moments of Formulas. You'll just have to accept it. Also the solos are Azagthoth pure and simple. But all the other MA inspired bands (and there are thousands - you'll remember Throne of Nails? Still the tightest death metal band I've seen live) have focused on the more brutal end of MAs work. So yes Mithras have found a niche and they are good at what they do. They still desperately need to go to a decent studio and get a very, very good engineer. But unique? no. Certainly not in the artwork department! :p

Surely they should be about ready to release a new album? Shame they went to Candlesh1te though.


The solos are nothing like Treys, if you actually listen and compare, Treys solos are run of the mill metal solos with some effects. I can't compare them to Leons, as his as far more spaced out and trippy. Since i talk to Leon about this sort of thing alot I can say Trey isn't one of his main infleuences, James Murphy would be more of an influence.

Throne of Nails sound more like Immolation to my ears.

The production is excellent, it's different though, who needs tinny guitar tones? It's full bodied and brutal.

Candlelight gave them a great deal since Mithras shopped around most of the underground labels and worked hard to get a good deal that they were happy with.

Album 3 is still being written, will begin recording towards the end of the year I imagine, it's going to destroy...

[Dancin' Man]

I love Mithras but I hate their tone. It is terrible to my ears. It needs to be more raw. At the moment it sounds all muffled and numb.

[PaulG]

Personally, I like the Mithras production. It creates an interesting atmosphere. I was lucky enough to find their Forever Advancing.....Legions album here in Australia and hope to be lucky again on finding Worlds Beyond The Veil and their 3rd one.

Speaking of buying, the following are on the way to me.

Agathocles - Humarrogance
Agathocles - To Serve... To Protect
Mesrine - Going To The Morgue

Napalm Death - Leaders Not Followers
Razor - Violent Restitution
Squash Bowels - No Mercy

That's all the buying I'll be doing for a while though.

I buy lots too ! :) I'm gonna slow down on the buying though, I just bought an expensive mp3 player (to play all those ripped cd's) and I have to pay for a 4 day festival. I'll try to control myself.

I'm another falling into the field of liking Mithras but disliking the production. It doesn't bother me though; I'd rather they had what production they want.

I think this is a very sensible thing to say, it's rather this is what they want to sound like rather than them being poor at engineering and producing.

And technically it's not poor production, it's excellent production but it just comes down to taste in how it all sounds.

[ninjamonkey]

you COULD technically say it is poor if you think it sounds bad.

[Toozey]

That wouldn't be technical (in an audio sense) it would be opinion on what you thought sounded good and bad. There is a difference.

[ninjamonkey]

I'm saying that in order to say whether something is produced technically well or not is relative because it depends on opinion. For example, if you don't like the sound of the guitars, you COULD say that the engineers poorly produced the guitars b/c they did not mic the amps well or did a poor EQ job. However, someone who likes the production could just as easily say it was produced technically well (b/c they like the EQ job).

[Dancin' Man]

NP: Empyrium - Weiland

Nice. :cool:

Mithras is awesome but I would still like a more traditional production. It would just make it all sound more like real guitars rather than some sort of crappy MIDI device.

Notice the usage of the word "traditional". I think that is where Mithras gets the reputation from poor production.

No, it's not opinion, its audio technology.

In a technical sense Mithras' Worlds Beyond the Veil has excellent production. The drums are loud and clear, they have punch. The guitars fill out the mid range and are clear, you can hear every note, the solos rip out over everything. The bass is not prominant but it is audible and it does its job of filling out the low ranges.

Now this is all very well and said but its down to OPINION if you like the way its done, thats the difference.

I grabbed Still Going Strong and Worth The Weight out of that pile. I had the other ones already... then I went to browse movies, came back for a second glance, and what did I see for $10.99, but DISINCARNATE - DREAMS OF THE CARRION KIND! I snatched that up as quickly as possible... I've been looking for it forever!!! I pity the poor fool that sold it there for like.. $4 or whatever, when they could have got quite the amount of coinage on Ebay.

How the hell does this remind you of Cryptopsy?

The sound Pounded was good, but otherwise it's a bunch of mediocre metalcore. The screaming sucks, it's not fast, it's not technical, it's not agressive. The melodies are the same thing every other melodic death band regurgitates.

Cryptopsy have done no such thing, not even on thier more "hardcore" albums (...And Then You'll Beg, Whisper Supremacy).

On some parts I think the growling is similiar to Cryptopsys. And I agree that they are not as technical, but every once in a while they have a riff thats somewhat Cryptopsy like IMO.

You might want to work on making your solos sound a bit cleaner, and the guitar sounds like it need a bit of sustain. Are you direct-injecting into the input?

Also, the vocals sound like they need a bit more power behind them. Not more amplification, the levels are perfect; actual lung-power.

That's why I usually respect death metallers and thrashers much more than black metallers. They have a tendency to be more true.

They might not come off as too different in interviews, because they like many people will not act like a bunch of wankers fooling around, not answering questions, etc. Even Varg Vikernes comes across as a polite, well mannered mature person in interviews that I've seen. Black metal does not mean to me acting like a bunch of idiots (hearing a Slayer interview comes to mind).

All of this "it's untr00 to do X" and "it's untr00 to do Y" just suggests black metal is a bunch of followers unable to think for theirselves, and ultimately makes it out as something as bad as Christianity, with it's own set of what is or is not a "tr00" activity.

Not all black metallers will have the same lives/same outlook on life/same beliefs. An example of this is that the members of Mayhem were in fact against church burnings.

[Hammerheart]

what's immortal's best?

At The Heart Of Winter and SoND (so untr00!)

[Deathcrush]

Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism is Immortal's best! Pure Holocaust is the usual recommendation, trust me it isn't anything special.

At the Heart of Winter is good, but hardly black metal.

[Stoic]

There was a Darkthrone Interview in the A Blaze in the Northern Sky re-release but I traded it.

I went to one of the biggest CD stores in my city the other day and walked into the metal section (obsviously). God, I couldnt believe it! Everything was in front of my eyes! New Origin, Brainstorm and Candlemass, Mithras, Cruachan, Spastic Ink, Edge of Sanity, Avantasia, Domine, Doomsword...you name it! I got:

Avantasia - Metal Opera pt 2
Spastic Ink - Ink Compatible
Edge of Sanity - Unorthodox

I wish I could get them all but they're too expensive (17e each) :(

So I guess...

I buy CDs (lots of CDs, actually), because I like owning them. A collection. I don't like having things just downloaded or burned at all

I feel exactly the same. I'm fine with downloading some songs from a band, but having an entire album downloaded or burned just isnt the same as owning it.

I totally agree with both guys. But I think I act this way because I have a 56k connection. I'm not sure what I would do if a 5Mb song would take a minute to download instead of twenty. However, I strongly believe we ought to support underground metal. Four or five copies matter to a band like Slough Feg for instance but when it comes to mainstream AND sold out artists I feel free to murder their "music".

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.

Due to the impact this post had on me I sent the Edge of Sanity album I bought to a guy that will hopefully send me back a copy of Obscura.

NP: Doomsword - Let Battle Commence

It's the second time I think you mention doomsword in here. Do you like other epic acts?

wahey!!!1

i am so never gettin fukin sober

seriousy

being sover is gay

wahey

my leg is bleeding

i woke up in a field

:lol:...
Although I cannot consume any alcohol...How the heck can you drink this stuff, blah!?!(Untr00)

It's always an idiot that can't even play guitar so he just hits the strings and screams and shouts!

And why do they always wear masks!?

:lol:

Just listened to a new Nile track (on a CD, I haven't downloaded anything), and it's good, probably good enough for me to buy the new album, but it doesn't really sound like Nile.


To tell you the truth I'm not very familiar with Nile because of the vocals (once again). I liked the songs I heard off their new one though. What do you mean it doesnt sound like Nile?

Nothing to add to the thread really. There is a new girl working here as an intern. All I can say is...:naughty::naughty::naughty::naughty::naughty: !!!

Seriously...I'm sitting at my desk until my stiffy is gone.

Dont you have a kid man?!

When it comes to music I am completely selfish, I don't care how i get it, as long as I hear it. Of course, I buy CDs but not as much as I should and I do download to much stuff but most of that is mediocre anyway. Just my point of view on downloading and such.

[ninjamonkey]

It's the second time I think you mention doomsword in here. Do you like other epic acts?
Hmm, I think that was the first tiem actually. Sure, epic is great.

NP: Mercenary

[Corporal Compendia]

So my conclusion of the day is that... Depression are a pretty cool band. I've only heard the split that I received today(With Mesrine), but they aren't half bad... aren't haaaalf bad. Catchy riffage.

[Berner]

Any ideas where? I heard in an interview with Mayhem (I think) that Euro's parents wanted the bass rerecorded, but they did not, and it's remained a mystery since.http://observer.guardian.co.uk/omm/story/0,13887,1415240,00.html

Hellhammer says in here that he left the tracks on because he thought it was appropriate to have the murderer and victim on the same album.

Because Vikernes played bass on it, Øystein's parents didn't want it to come out.' says Hellhammer. 'I thought it was appropriate that the murderer and victim were on the same record. I put word out that I was re-recording the bass parts. But I never did.

[Bartender]

At the Heart of Winter is good, but hardly black metal.

He just asked for Immortal though.


To tell you the truth I'm not very familiar with Nile because of the vocals (once again). I liked the songs I heard off their new one though. What do you mean it doesnt sound like Nile?

I'm not sure. It was a good track, so it shares at least that much in common with earlier Nile, but it sounds different. More melody, maybe simpler riffage. The comparison that kept coming to mind for me listening to it was that the guitar seemed to be playing a more speed metal style, than death metal/older Nile.

[br3ad_man]

http://observer.guardian.co.uk/omm/story/0,13887,1415240,00.html

One time he made some personal comments about myself and Hellhammer,' says the guitarist, 'so after the show, we drove to a slaughterhouse, picked up a pig's head and dropped it off at his house with a dagger stuck between its eyes. 'We never heard from him again,' he says, pursing his lips with pleasure.

Yeah, I got "Pure Holocaust" because everyone was recommending it. And I was dissapointed. Because before that I had "Sons Of Northern Darkness" and "Damned In Black" and those were really good I thought. So I thought it would be better, but it really wasn't. I haven't really gave it a full listen though.

But I wanna check out Diabolical now.

Best video ever. The best part is at 2:43

[Dancin' Man]

I have yet to really listen to any Immortal but if I follow the conversation correctly, I will like late Immortal because it strays from the genre.

[Toozey]

Battles of the North is a good mix between the old and new Immortal sounds.

[HappyMarshmellow]

OMG AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAA!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

That's HILARIOUS! What the hell!?!?

I love the part where they synchronize their action figure poses!!!

There's one part where one of them is just walking through the forest, then the dude with the witch hat comes running up behind him... "I'm gonna getcha!"

"Oh no!" *starts running* "Don't get me! No! Aaah! Help!"

*other guy comes in* "Hey, don't you dare get him!" *starts running after both of them*

Then they all just kind of run off and you see one guy really far off in the distance

WTF!?!?! :lol:

SOLEFALD drummer Lars Nedland (a.k.a. Lazare) has issued the following update on the recording/mixing process for the group's fifth album:

"We're well into the process of mixing the album, and the result sounds killer. We've never had a more dynamic and heavy production, and I can't wait to let you guys hear it. But there's more: This time around we have a really nice treat for you as our friend (and former BORKNAGAR singer) Kristoffer 'Garm' Rygg aka Trickster G. [ULVER, ARCTURUS] has graced us with his great voice and put down guest vocals on a song. Let me tell you right away: the result is nothing short of amazing."

The song was pretty good though, I just wish you could hear the guitar a little better.
But then again I've heard tons of black metal is like that, so0 I guess I better get used to it.

I agree, everything is done so perfectly. People say the production is bad, but I find recording it like that makes it sound perfect for that style. I actually love how Nocturna Culta's vocals are soaked in reverb.

For Malevolent Creation, I've only heard The Fine Art of Murder. It's alright, though.

what do people think of the book lords of chaos?

Iv'e heard mixed opinions about the rreliability of the information, and would like to get it but is it reliable? and who does it take information from from the bands around at the time?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I remember reading something Varg wrote about that book. He seemed to think it was wrong on many counts. I however, am interested in reading it some time. Even if some of the info isn't 100% reliable.

[Lord Abortion]

have a look at my post defending black and death metal lyrics in that stupid thread, see what you think...

[sickgoregrind]

Lords of Chaos is only really for new people to black metal. Those who have a fair knowledge of the events and ideology will not find much new things, but seeing as you have just bought 'A Blaze In the Northern Sky' you may want to check it out.

Anyone else going to see Napalm Death next month?
the Support is not to my taste but Napalm's new stuff is actually quite good considering their previous run of albums in the 90's/00's.

I suppose I have a reasonable Idea from a book that was quite handy called "the ultimate headbanging history of heavy metal"
which is quite useful- mortiis giving alot of information of emperor's acivities at the time...
it's also handy for the florida/mirrorsound death scene too
is a blaze... better than transylvanian hunger or panzerfaust? i like alot of the varg written lyrics on PF and transylvanian hunger is the best darkthrone album I have IMO

[Bartender]

Who's in support?

[sickgoregrind]

Ok, well i have not heard panzerfaust but it has a lot cleaner sound, with a more distinct maybe slower and focused sound whereas i find Transylvanian to be supremely necro with a almost Burzum-like(cliche?) hypnotizing groove and straightforward melodic riffs. 'A Blaze...' is my favourite Darkthrone LP though.

As for the 'headbanging history' book, it was either that or what i opted for 'Top 500 Heavy Metal albums of all time'. The author, Martin Popoff is extremely knowledgable, only a small amount of BM though but still excellent.

[sickgoregrind]

Support for the Napalm Death gig is 'Most Precious Blood' and 'Diecast'.

There was me expecting 'Exmortem' or at least death metal.

[HappyMarshmellow]

Ugh, Most Precious Blood and Diecast... what a piece of crap support for the awesome Napalm Death!

Alright you deathheads.

I listened to Cradle of Filth a few weeks ago for the first time, and I wasn't able to listen to it because it was so god **** scary. I enjoyed the intro track, but when the vocals kicked in in "Cthulu Dawn" it just put me off because it was so **** freaky. Not because it was heavy, the guitar sounds pretty pansy.

But lately I've been listening to Fantomas, and enjoying it a lot. Do you think getting a Cradle of Filth or some other Death CD is reccomended?

Cradle of Filth sucks. It's not death metal, it's not black metal... it's gothic metal.

If you want death metal, I can recommend some thing depending on what you're looking for. You want technical death, death-grind, oldskool death metal, New York death metal, etc.

uh... much as I love them, cradle WERE black metal, not death metal, cradle have not been black metal since the principle of evil made flesh in '94 for actual black metal listen to emperor or mayhem, darkthrone, immortal marduk , anaal nathrakh, and countless other fantastic bands you can find searching this and the other BM thread
for death metal try death, cryptoposy, cannibal corse, morbid angel, dieicide, carcass, nile, gorguts and countless others ITT

Cradle of Filth used to be death metal a long time ago. Their demo Total ****ing was death metal. And their first couple label releases were black metal. Principle Of Evil Made Flesh was and still is black metal. Dusk And Her Embrace and Cruelty And The Beast are decent albums. After that though they went sharply downhill. Cthulu Dawn is from Midian which wasn't that great of an album. For some more black metal get some Bathory, Darkthrone, Mayhem, Burzum, Thus Defiled, Emperor, Immortal, Moonblood and others mentioned in this thread. For death metal check out Cryptopsy, Lykathea Aflame, Behemoth (their old stuff was black metal), Necrophagist, Immolation, Vital Remains, Carcass, Iniquity and countless others mentioned here.

[Dancin' Man]

Behemoth wins for death metal. Thelema.6 and Demigod are both great albums.

I'm not a big fan of really tr00 black metal but I can recommend lots of symphonic/avant-garde stuff.

then get Zos Kia Cultus, that is their release right before demigod, and quite death metal

EDIT: forget that, for some reason I read his post as "I'm going to see Behemoth on Saturday".


But lately I've been listening to Fantomas, and enjoying it a lot.

I've also been listening to a fair bit of Fantomas (and other Patton-related stuff) recently.

aaah a good old Baphomet Horde noob bashing going on in the Audio Arena in my band thread! Anyone got Dargon on MSN? get him back for another flame fest!

Apparently my band aren't metal and are closer to emo. Oh, and I should take a listen to some proper metal like Megadeth or Metallica.

That's what's been missing recently a good old gang up on an idiot and kill them.

Hahah, just been to read it, and it was some funny stuff. I'm glad stupid people exist.

I'm probably going to buy another behemoth album on saturday when I get the dvd, so I was thinking satanica maybe?

Any advice?

All of their death metal albums are excellent. I prefer Satanica and Thelema.6 over Demigod.

[Dancin' Man]

Thelema. 6 ++

I love that album. I should do a review for it. I reviewed Demigod before I really like death metal.

[Squirrel]

I've been listening to LOADS of Entombed lately - dug out my Wolverine Blues and Left Hand Path albums; Rotten Soil is fitting nicely inot one of my all time favorite metal songs.

Allrigth, one n00b-question for you guys. What exactly is the difference between melodic death and power with harsh vocals. For example, Wintersun/Enifiserum, Children of Bodom..some peeps call them melodic death, other power with harsh vocals, but me gets confused..so, I ask your help...

EDIT: if you guys know some more bands like them above, don't mind to tell me.. :rolleyes:

[ICB]

What does power metal have to do with it? Children of Bodom is more of a power metal bands because...well just listen to their songs. You can relate CoB with bands like Iced Earth, etc...than you can with bands like Hypocrisy and Darkane.

[HappyMarshmellow]

Listen to some Carcass songs from their album Heartwork, then listen to some songs by Rhasphody.

Carcass would be melodic death, Rhasphody would be power metal.

CoB is more like power metal.

Another band that sounds like Children of Bodom is Kalmah.

Good comparisons.

I was listening to swan song by Carcass...some of the riffs sounded more like they belonged on a Corrosion of Conformity record...

[Berner]

Another band that sounds like Children of Bodom is Kalmah.The more I listen to Kalmah, the less I hear that comparison.

[Hui_LP]

I do know the difference between death and power, that ain't the problem, yet the borderline between melodic death and power metal with harsh vocals is unclear to me.

[ninjamonkey]

You mean melo-death like In Flames?

It's basically power metal with death influence (in both the riffs and vocals). It's not straight death metal, but it's much deathier than power.

CoB: the music is just power metal. You can clearly hear it especially with the keyboard riffs. So it's power metal with harsh vocals.

NP: Mourning Beloveth - The Words That Crawled

[Hui_LP]

Allrigth...thanks a lot. Just one thing, that means Wintersun is melo-death huh?

[ninjamonkey]

No. Where'd you get that from? Wintersun sound nothing like In Flames. Wintersun is folk/viking/power metal.
The music itself is extremely power/viking. Listen to the melodies/solos and keyboard riffs. So very very power/folk. The riffs - I can't hear much of any death influence. I suppose the drumming is more blasting than typical power, but this is folkish/vikingish power. Wintersun is much closer to CoB than In Flames (although basing all your genre stuff on those two bands is not the best idea).

[Hammerheart]

Allrigth...thanks a lot. Just one thing, that means Wintersun is melo-death huh?

I'd say wintersun is melodeath/power/folk.

They rule.

[troops_of_doom]

Anyone here like Mithras? In my opinion there **** hot!

[Bartender]

I think Toozey likes them.
