In the Technical Heavy Metal thread, someone posted some links to songs and videos - one labels itself as WOC in winamp - anyone able to tell me what band this is ?#

No it wasnt necro :(

I can upload this if you'd like ?

upload what? Necrophagist videos?!

I watched Extreme Unction, Muhammed really needs long hair :(

[Bartender]

Heh, that bad ey.

Well I like the subject, quite a bit; I've just no idea what I'll do with it afterwards.


Can anyone tell me why this (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000AL8VNC/qid=1125922291/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_11_1/202-2188122-5479816) (and the other Atheist albums) are apparently going to take three weeks to get here, when the dispatch time says 24 hours? :-/

[Squirrel]

True true.

He keeps reminding me of some german exchange student that came to our school.

Squirrel, finally the video worked, it's Decapitated, arent they sweet? :D

EDIT

I swear there was a post! :(

[shamed-angel]

Has anyone here heard Prostitute Disfigurement? Some intensely gruesome extreme death from Holland. They have some pretty gruesome lyrics. But that's death for you! My friend introduced me to them, and although their vocals are quite disgusting. I quite like them.

I asked about them a couple of days ago. I think they're touring with Deicide later this year.

[Dancin' Man]

Shush, that makes me feel like you can be metal without long hair. He looks like it's so easy. What a dick. His other guitarist is also really amazing.

So ****ing awesome, I could listen to them for hours and not get tired of them.
Oh my god...

Ahhh... I don't even know what to say to this.

And Prostitute Disfigurement are very good.


I found a guy on soulseek, so much metal, Death and Black mostly, but wow. And he has about a 40kbs rating :D :D :D

I was going to go to it, until my band decides to play some lame ****ing gig for our local council on the same night. Without asking me, or either of our guitarists in the process. We play it every month anyway, I don't see how one month without would hurt... :angry:

[Bartender]

In the UK? I'd love to see them...
What did you think of them?

Yeah, the UK. They're playing at least one show anyway, so I'd assume it's a tour and not just a one off in a little pub in Leeds.

I haven't heard them though, so I can't help you there.

Liverpool. Not much metal goes on here. We used to have a monthly metal night in the city called Whiplash, but it seems that won't run anymore either due to lack of interest, which is unfortunate.

[superpeer]

I'm going to that, but on Saturday, in Antwerp.

To start some more DM discusion, last time someone asked favorite guitarest this time Bassist. A DM bass player I highly respect is Jon Levasseur, his bass lines for Cyptopsy are beyond great. Also I don't know his name but Necrophagist's bass player is amazing just listen to the intro of Only Ashes Remain.

Are Nile coming to Canberra?
Jon Levasseur was the ex-guitarist for Cryptopsy. Eric Langlois is the bassist.

/late

As far as favorite bassists go, Roger Patterson, Sean Malone, the aformentioned Langlois, and Steve DiGiorgio would be my favorites.

[bassaholica2004]

I'm sure you guys have heard of Thorns, but can anyone recomend an album or give me any info on them? And also, am I untro0 for not liking Mutiilation? Maybe I haven't listened to Vampires of Dark Imperial Blood enough, but I'm just not feeling it.

I made a thread on Zyklon-B and Thorns a while ago, if you want to look through my recent threads.

I recommend the s/t but I haven't heard anything else. It's very good.

As for not liking Mütiilation, to each his own. Alot of it is a hit or miss for me. Sometimes the vocals sound pure evil and sometimes they're practically laughable.

The vocals I quite like, its just the production that gets me. I'm used to really bad production, but VoDIB is just wrong IMO. Its too bad to get any atmosphere I think. Maybe I just need to let it grow on me though. Thanks for the thread too, I'll check it out.

[Freezing Moon]

There are two versions of it, an LP and a re-release or something. One of them has decent production and the other has horrible production if my memory serves me correctly. Maybe look for the other version. I know I have both, I just don't remember which one is good and which one isn't. I think the original is better.

You can grab it from me on slsk if you want... DetVlagt is my username on there. PM me before you do so I can add you to my list. (If you have slsk that is).

[ninjamonkey]

Any fans of Necrony here? If so, anybody have their full length? Can't find it anywhere. I'll trade you the demo Sever Malignant Pustle for it if you have it.

[Turbonegro]

I saw Nile last night with Incantation and Kastrated supporting, the gig was amazing i recommend everyone to go and see nile if they have a chance to. I dont particually like the support bands but they put on a good show. The only bad thing about the gig was that some guy crowd surfed and tryed to get on the stage and he knocked a mic over while nile was playing, you can imagine he was pritty pi**ed off. So at the end of the song he told to crowd to 'keep of the ####ing stage'. The same man tryed to get on the stage several times so a man ended up hitting him and about 7 people had to pull him off, i found it pritty funny.

[HappyMarshmellow]

If someone knocked over my mic stand, I would pick it back up and throw it at them and keep singing.

[Lord Abortion]

So, I bought metal hammer this month (yes...I'm a tool, can we continue?)

interesting interview with Ravn of 1349, saying there will be one more album after Hellfire and then he doesn't know...

also, there is a new Enslaved DVD, New Cathederal album and some focus on Gorerotted and Scum, who look like they suck...balls.

[Magicaltroll]

I was dissapointed when I finally heard them.

Or just pull a J.R. Hayes (Pig Destroyer).
They have live videos on their site, and in the song Forgotten Child, he breaks the mic, so he just screams without it, and God he looks badass! You can hear him fine without the mic.

...And yes, I'm obssessed with the band.

How was Incantation? I've got Upon the Throne of the Apocalypse, and its pretty good. I wouldn't mind seeing them live.

[Ad Absurdum]

Today I missed school to go to an open day for university (thinking about doing physics or chemical engineering with philosphy as my outside course), I left early to buy some CDs and I got Nile - Amongst The Catacombs Of Nephren-Ka, Obituary - Frozen In Time and Entombed - Same Difference.

Does anyone know any tech death bands that sound like Origin or Cryptopsy?

I havent found a band that gives me the same feeling with Origin mainly because not too many bands do these tricks with the vocals. Psycroptic should be the closest. I believe, Origin similar riffage (to an extent and ever more technical) have Beneath the Massacre (you do know them) and Domination Through Impurity.



I was down town almost the entire day. I went to 3 cd stores to look for the Atheist re-releases. In the first they told me that they were already gone and I had to wait for the next import (!) and in the other two told me that they hadnt arrived yet :upset:

I love everythign they do. Selkies is probably my favorite song by them right now(Backwards Marathon is a close second). I wouldn't want them to cut out the breakdowns and metalcore bits, I enjoy hearing a lot of variety.

I'm not that much of a fan, sure the BTBAM breakdowns are better than some hardcore breakdowns but i still don't think they do the song much good. Bands nowadays just throw them in there because it's part of the genre, it's supposed to make people want to break legs and crack collarbones.

[HappyMarshmellow]

Metalcore is the new "nu metal" solely due to the fact that it's what rules the mainstream.

I strongly dislike most metalcore vox because it's weak and whiny, I dislike the breakdowns because most of them are the same thing over and over, and the melodies are most of the time half-assed.

This is the Death Heads thread. Not your average straightedge XhardXcoreX thread.

[Lord Abortion]

Death metal has little if anything to do with hardcore

[Dancin' Man]

I think often core music is heavier than death metal because it utilizes dissonance better and that is infinitely heavier than distortion and speed. I really like the slightly progressive technical metal/grind/hard-core mishmash bands like The End, The Dillinger Escape Plan and Glass Casket.

NP Glass Casket - In Between the Sheets

Plus those bands have better lyrics than death metal almost always.

I still think the heaviest bands are those like Khanate that rely completely on the audio equivilant of boulders but in brutal music, I think that cliched melody has no place. Being self indulgent is key.

Already heard it. You posted a bulletin about it. I liked it but it needed another riff. The whole thing was a breakdown which was kind of cool. I really like the sound of your vocals. Do you use distortion for that or just are so loud the mic can't handle the signal?

And I use distortion through my PODxt. I wish I didn't go so low on some parts, because you can't really hear the vocals towards the end.

Hey dudes... :smoke:

I'm blazing right now and listening to some Damnable. This band is pretty awesome, it gets a little monotonous, but it's totally over the top.

Pretty catchy with some vocals that are just plain ridiculous. I love it!

I like it Marshmallow.
I like the part towards the end, the little melodic part.

[Sephyr]

Hey Marshmellow, I listened to The Oath and some of your other stuff on there.

The oath was pretty sweet, but the vocals (if they were vocals) seemed almost too faded into the background. I couldn't discern much of anything out of what was being sung - but it could be because I didn't have it up loud enough, hehe.

Either way, awesome.

Check out "Taking a Beating" too, even if you don't like electronica. Tell me how you like it.
I really like both songs. How do you program your drums? Like what program and stuff?

[HappyMarshmellow]

Hey Marshmellow, I listened to The Oath and some of your other stuff on there.

The oath was pretty sweet, but the vocals (if they were vocals) seemed almost too faded into the background. I couldn't discern much of anything out of what was being sung - but it could be because I didn't have it up loud enough, hehe.

Either way, awesome.

Yeah, I sung the vocals while high at 4:00am in the morning with mononucleiosis. They're a bit ****ed, but I dig it because it sounds sick. Turn up the volume if you want to hear it better, read the lyrics. I did my best.

I really like both songs. How do you program your drums? Like what program and stuff?

Fruity Loops with samples stolen from PC Drummer Pro. I put a ton of effects on them and I'm really meticulous.

I like it Marshmallow.
I like the part towards the end, the little melodic part.

That part took a ton of effort because I wanted two channels per panning of the guitar. I think I ended up only taking two channels total, one per each side... whatever.

I wanted to do a sweep picking solo but the one I had in mind I eventually edited it out and used it as a fill only because it didn't really fit the song, even with the melodic passage at the end. I needed another scale or something.

[Crad1eoffi1th666]

Scotland? Thats not near Kentucky haha.

I live near Washington D.C. (USA)

That is ridiculous :angry:


Sup. check your hotmail. school stuff.

[Turbonegro]

How was Incantation? I've got Upon the Throne of the Apocalypse, and its pretty good. I wouldn't mind seeing them live.


I didnt particualy like them but they was good live,worth seeing if your a big fan, the singer sung the end of 'black seeds of vengence' sounded very good

[br3ad_man]

I think often core music is heavier than death metal because it utilizes dissonance better and that is infinitely heavier than distortion and speed. I really like the slightly progressive technical metal/grind/hard-core mishmash bands like The End, The Dillinger Escape Plan and Glass Casket.

NP Glass Casket - In Between the Sheets

Plus those bands have better lyrics than death metal almost always.

Such a great song, their best.

I'm about to listen to HappyMarshmellow and magicaltroll's songs.

[Slapping Penguin]

Guys when I write Death songs I use full Jazz chords and stuff. Does anyone think this is werid?

[br3ad_man]

I only use jazz chords in jazz. What do you mean by "full jazz chords"?

[Crad1eoffi1th666]

I made a new song today, it's kinda core-ish sounding, but whatever. I think it's pretty heavy.

http://www.myspace.com/citbgow

It's the Mormons And Ramen one.

/couldn't think of decent name

pretty good. I'd recommend either turning up your guitar while playing, or turning down your mic while playing.

It isn't weird, I don't think. I use a lot of strange chords when I play death metal as well. But I play melodic stuff, so I tend to you use quite a few 7th chords. What exact chords are you using?

[Lord Abortion]

It's strange...as Grindcore is as much of an offshoot of punk as it is of DM...

I may have mentioned this on occasion here before.

A lot of genres are like that, I.E. metalcore.

[epihasi]

Hey, I just wanted to ask, if there are any more bands out there, that play death metal with slow drumming and vocals like mikael akerfeldt ( Just about Opeth's sound, doesn't have to be exact though. I just love the speed of their music. It's perfect)

Thanks for any help!

[RCA]

A lot of genres are like that, I.E. metalcore.

In my humble opinion, metalcore has very little punk in it. I just don't hear the aggression or simplistic catchiness that punk has in it.

Try Katatonia and Eternity Void.

[Ad Absurdum]

Beneath The Massacre and Psycroptic maybe. I'm guessing you know them though.
I havent found a band that gives me the same feeling with Origin mainly because not too many bands do these tricks with the vocals. Psycroptic should be the closest. I believe, Origin similar riffage (to an extent and ever more technical) have Beneath the Massacre (you do know them) and Domination Through Impurity.
Yeah, I've already heard Beneath The Massacre, they were good but not my favourite. I'll check out the other bands mentioned; thanks for replying.

[Squirrel]

I'm seeing Decapitated on the 22nd :D

I'll hopefuly get some pics posted in here when i get back.

It really depends on who you listen to. A lot of metalcore today I would say is just straight metal. Also, hardcore and punk are very different. Hardcore is a lot heavier and more complicated than basic punk, and adding elements of metal wasn't much of a surprise. Most of the popular 'metalcore' bands out now have very little in common in with hardcore, I.E. As I Lay Dying, Killswitch Engage, Lamb of God. LoG actually was metalcore at one point though. If you listen to The Agony Scene and Bridge to Solace, you will see what metalcore really is.

The closest band I've found is Novembre. Katatonia is similar, as is some Agalloch but no other bands really come close. Some say My Dying Bride does, but I disagree. There really is no band like Opeth, your best bet is Novembre.

Maybe you'll dig some Nevermore...
They are nothing like Opeth. Nothing at all. till great though :thumb:

I know what hardcore is. :p

I'll just keep away from all that metalcore stuff, like I've been doing for some time now. Mind you, I have heard a lot from that movement, so I'm not choosing to not listen because of random here-say.

NWOAHM is just a label given to modern bands so they can be connected to each other and boost each other sales. Many of the bands have nothing in common besides being American, and the fact that they play crappy music. I actually like some of God Forbid's riffs, but they have some of the worst vocals and lyrics I've ever heard.

[Arucard]

Damien, i was under the impression that Bridge To Solace was just Melodic Hardcore with alot of Gothenburg mixed in....?

Didn't i introduce you to them with that upload i made a while ago?

Gothenburg is a form metal as far as I know.

Hardcore + metal = metalcore :)

Also, teh rhythms in many of their songs are more metal than hardcore. Hardcore is usually a faster genre with less muted picking.

Yeah, you're the one that introduced me to them. I've talked about them a bit in Hardcore/emo and stuff I've been reading and hearing about them. I love 'em.

Such a great song, their best.

I'm about to listen to HappyMarshmellow and magicaltroll's songs.
Thoughts?
I should be making another song by the end of tonight, or atleast writing one. This one will be awesome, I have a few ideas.

[Dancin' Man]

Try doing one that uses some really atonal riffing that is super heavy but highlighted by super melodic fills that are really light. Like, one measure fills that are in major keys.

To that guy wanting Opeth paced songs - try Agalloch. Novembre was already mentioned which is the other band but those three all go together on playlists really well.

Also - who here knows the band Rwake?

[Lord Abortion]

Anyone heard any Necrocest?

I was told they sounded a little like Diecide and MA...

[One Step Beyond]

I hate Deicide...

I already made and posted another song called "Halcion (Triazolam)". Have a listen, and embrace the soothing ambience.

By the way, I love Deicide.

That is, I love Feasting The Beast, S/T, Legion, Incineratehymn, and Scars of the Crucifix.

Glen Benton says it himself that some of the albums were mediocre on purpose because they were pissed off at Roadrunner.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I only have the self-titled by Deicide. Good stuff, but not my favourite DM.

And do you still write songs? I haven't been to your page in awhile, because I haven't heard you talking about new songs.

What do you guys call an inverted power chord? You know like if the power chord is 3rd and 5th fret and you play 5th and 3rd instead

[One Step Beyond]

What do you guys call an inverted power chord? You know like if the power chord is 3rd and 5th fret and you play 5th and 3rd instead
I'm not sure what you mean. I don't know the real term for it, but it's just a root note with a harmonizing third. It's the same note you hear for many guitar harmonies, but when played together on on guitar, it sounds a lot different.

[HappyMarshmellow]

What do you guys call an inverted power chord? You know like if the power chord is 3rd and 5th fret and you play 5th and 3rd instead

That's not a power chord anymore because it's not a typical root-and-fifth.

That's not even an inversion. I forgot the name for it though.

[Stoic]

Dunno if its been announced here yet, but Demilich have been confirmed for 2006's Maryland Death Fest. That's absolutely, ****ing amazing.

They played in their country a while back but they said the reunion is only for live shows and the release of some material so as to give a decent funeral to the band. Have they changed their mind?

/goes to the official site of Demilich

What do they sound like?

mid paced technical and insanely tied technical death metal with disgusting vocals :evil: You can download Nespithe from their site for free. Something happened back then and their label never gave them any money this is why they give it for free.

[Jondur]

That's not a power chord anymore because it's not a typical root-and-fifth.

That's not even an inversion. I forgot the name for it though.

Thanks guys. I only call it an inverted power chord because it's a power chord shape with your fingers but inverted! But from now on I shall refer to it as a root and fifth. I use them all the time, usually with another chord that I don't know the name of! which is, for example, 7 on one string and 6 on the next.

Yes I know I suck at this.

[Jondur]

oh bugger. What the hell is it then? And they're ace. I love em - perfect for doom! I also muchly enjoy layered power chords (note the continuing excellence of my nomenclature) where you add the fifth above the fifth from the original powerchord so you get two power chords in one.

They are root and thirds. The othe rchord you mentioned is just a major third, and the 'inverted' one is minor.

XMin(No 5th) is what I'd probably call it, where X is the note being played on the lower (in pitch) string. It's basically a minor chord without the fifth.

Thought i should pass on the news, Behemoth's new video for "Slaves Shall Serve" is now available to download from there site. It was released on the 2nd on september. http://www.behemoth.pl/main_en_ie.html#

To download the video just click on the link downloads, then videos and it should come up :)

[Vortigon]

Behemoth were definitely the band of the night yesterday, they destroyed! Nile were poor, not helped by atrocious sound. Unleashed were cool but not enough old stuff was play. However they saved themselves with "To Asgaard We FLY!".

But yeah, Behemoth, streets ahead of everyone, Slaves Shall Serve slew.

[Stoic]

Behemoth video?! Sweet! There was also a new naglfar video a while back

Btw, am I the only one who thinks that Behemoth middle era (Thelema 6, Satanica)>>>Behemoth late era (Zos Kia Cultus, Demigod)?

[superpeer]

I just bought Tickets for The Nile/Behemoth/etc concert.

Hey, you were there too? Where were you? I left after 5 songs of Nile. They sucked, and sounded no different to the studio material. Furthermore, the crowd did not get into Nile the way they did with BEHEMOTH. I'm aching from being in the pit.

[Turbonegro]

everytime someone talks about nile live in this thread its always bad i dont understand, its like the support bands are much better. When i saw nile i thought they were amazing

[Stevie]

everytime someone talks about nile live in this thread its always bad i dont understand, its like the support bands are much better. When i saw nile i thought they were amazing

They lacked energy, and basically did what they do in the studio. They didn't engage with the crowd like Unleashed or Behemoth.

Naglfar video?! Sweet! Where was that at? I must have missed it.

And no, you're not the only one that thinks middle era Behemoth is better. Demigod is a good album, but not as great as everyone makes it sound. I really want to go see them this fall. I don't know if I'll have the money though. And it's in Detroit (as usual) which is a good 2.5 hours away.

Yep, they are, are they good?

I've seen Behemoth twice. They were good the first time, ****ty and boring the second time. Generally, I'm not a big Behemoth fan though. I'll be seeing them again in November though. They're coming to my home city, so it'll be easy and cheap to get there and back. Good opening bands too.(Blood of Christ and Necronomicon)

Pits are one of the best things about a show, besides the band. A crappy band with a good pit can make a bad show pretty decent. :p

but bad bands do not get pits!

[Stoic]

thx :)

I was effectively drunk when I said that, really. I live it but that does not mean that I cannot visit these forums.

haha, I think most of us took it seriously and after you left we started a discussion on what you would eat in the woods and stuff :p

I'm glad you're here dude :) What do you exactly mean by saying you live a black metal life though?

[One Step Beyond]

Sometimes they do :(

Even non death bands have some decent pits. Lamb of God have great pits, if you can ignore the idiots trying to hardcore dance. And as a band, the are pretty effective at sucking.

Well I am separate from most of humanity - I have no friends, I am alone from the real world alone in myself! I feel that black metal is one of the greatest things on this planet, and so I feel it is important....etc.. My ultimate aim in life is still to be a hermit.

Yeah, if there's a pit I'll venture into it, no matter what the music is. I'd like to go into a nu-metal pit and knock some fukcers out. That's the greatest thing - flooring (not through a punch!) some meathead. I must have taken down 20 yesterday.

You might see of it as battle, but I don't plan on getting wounded at a music show. :p

I just don't see the point of fighting when I can watch a band play. And Yes, I am. But at least my girlfriend will be like the only girl at a Nile show. I may be a pussy, but at least I get metal pussy. :p

[Ihsahn]

I've never actually listened to them but I've heard very good comments about Pungent Stench.

Now who's familiar with Adramelech (feat. ex Demigod members at some point)? Are they worth checking?

Adramelech are alright... nowhere near as atmospheric or as good as Demigod, but they still have a good sound as far as I remember. Haven't listened to the album I have in a while though, so I don't quite remember...

That's a bit like saying "why listen to miserable black metal when I can listen to happy pop?"

I have their album Psychostasia. It's decent, definitely, I always thought it had a slightly Demilich-esque sound, but nowhere near as weird. The song below is from Psychostasia.

[LegionsofMarduk]

Ah, thanks for the uploads, Jim.


EDIT: Oops,

No Blood Red Throne then, I guess. :(


Oh well, at least I have some songs by them now. ;) And I hear great things of Belphegor.

Yep. :thumb:

That sucks they cancelled. Belphegor is quite good as well. I'll upload. I'm in a giving mood I guess.

Haha, I've been beaten.

[Ad Absurdum]

I don't go into Pits. :)
Same here, I just try to get up the front and watch the band.

Welcome back Stevie.

[superpeer]

That's a bit like saying "why listen to miserable black metal when I can listen to happy pop?"

Just because I listen to miserable Black metal doesn't mean I have to get out of a show miserably. :p


Legions: Thanks again. :D

[Stevie]

meh, whatever suits you.the only thing I don't like is non - pitters being annoyed by pitters...

[superpeer]

I'm only annoyed by them if they constantly bump into me.

Shove them back into the pit :p

If someone hits or anything, hit 'em back. It's the way the pit works :p

[Stevie]

Best advice I can give is to simply not be by the pit. It cannot be constantly controlled where the pit is, sometimes a large shove can knock you into the crowd.

Yeah, I usally just move away a bit at metal shows, I don't really mind. What pisses me off is 40 year old drunks who start pits at a Green Day gig. The epitome of posers.

EDIT: Green day as an example of non heavy music, where pits are absolutely retarded.

I started a pit at a New Found Glory gig during 2004's Warped Tour. Showed all those little girls who was boss :smoke:

Probably. I don't like NFG but no other bands were playing at the same time that were any good, and me and my friend were trying to hit on the little 14 y/o girls. They rejected us, so we decided to get as many people as we could to start a pit. 'Twas much fun.

Hit on little girls, eh, now that's something we can agree on. :D

[Stevie]

I don't like people who go in pits and simply hide theirselves whilst moving around with random punches and kicks. I just wanna kick em squaah in the nuts. Girls in the pit piss me off - they're feeble.

I agree. If you are going to be in the pit, get into it!

Everybody loves the little ones :p

[Stevie]

the only thing that'd kill me in a pit is dehydration.

[i am the robots]

The only thing that'd kill me in a pit is retarded 14 year old scenesters who think "hXc Dancing" is acceptable, whome accidentally kick you in the back of the head when they do their spin kicks.

If they do it in the pit, usually they just get run over.

[i am the robots]

Yeah, but I am always the one who gets hit from behind by a spin kick.... it ****ing blows.

[LegionsofMarduk]

I broke a rib a few years ago. And instead of going to sit down, I went back in the pit. And I still go in the pit if I do manage to make it to a show.

[Lord Abortion]

There's a reason BM bands are signed to the "anti-mosh" label, Stevie :p

Happens every week at the rock/metal club i go to on Friday. They never learn. They hxc dance, the music gets turned of and we beat them up, then they get thrown out because the DJ likes the metalheads more than the Emo retards.

Yep :).

[Arucard]

Happened during Unholy Confessions. I request that song everytime before i leave at about 3/4am and me and this guy Jamie mosh out to it, but the scenesters always get in and ruin it, especially during the breakdown.

I like hardcore dancing at the right shows, meaning at hardcore shows. There is no place for it at metal gigs though, it's a completely different culture.

[Stoic]

what's this hardcore dancing dammit?

/person who's never been to a live show

Ihsahn and craggyisland thank you for your help. As soon as YSI stops hating me I'll download this track :)

It is hard to explain. Basically you just go crazy and start swinging your fists and feet in a fury trying to hurt as many people as possible. It's fun sometimes, but it is kind of meant to represent the freedom and uncontrolled rage expressed in hardcore punk music. It is not a metal thing, and hardcore dancers get the **** beat out of them at metal gigs. :lol:

[i am the robots]

No, that description sucks, Hardcore Dancing is basically fighting invisible ninjas to show your distaste for authority.

[One Step Beyond]

:lol:

I've never thought about it like that.

[One Step Beyond]

Well, I posted this in the black metal thread but since that thread isn't visited nearly as often as this one, I will post it here too. I don't think many people have cared too much over there, and I don't want these uploads to go to waste. Me and the2stranger were trying to get some punk kid into avant-garde black metal, so I did this for him originally, as well as for anyone else who is wanting to check out these bands.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arcturus (http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=292): This is the band that defines everything that avant-garde is. They draw influences from black metal, classical, and 'circus' music primaily. Many people consider them extreme symphonic metal, and not black metal at all, even though you can clearly hear the black touch in their older work.

Peccatum (http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=1023): This is a very odd band created by former Emperor vocalist, Ihsahn. His wife, Ihriel, provides beautiful and haunting operatic vocals mixed in with Ihsahn's classic vocals. They are the only two constant members in the band. Very symphonic and strange. There isn't really a way to describe this band.

Borknagar (http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=629): They are well known for having the three most talented folk/black metal vocalists that are around today. The original vocalist was Krystoffer Garm Rygg, who is the vocalist for Ulver as well. Then came Simen "ICS Vortex" Hestnæs who is now providing clean vocals for the band, Dimmu Borgir. They have finally gotten a permanent vocalist with the incredibly talented folk singer, Vintersorg. Who has his band named after himself which is very popular among folk/black metal fans. They are a combination of black metal with nowegian folk
