What's the hardest music that you listen to?

[TMA]

Of course this is Pop-Punk, but I know a lot of people in here listen to some HARD music. You know, the kind of stuff that mkaes you go *ss wild in the pit, and makes you want to break sh*t when your at home.
So what is it that drives you to that edge?
I say that Raised Fist is easily one of the hardest bands I listen to! :thumb:

[bottlerocket]

I listen to hardcore and emo, and grindy stuff like combatwoundedveteren and pg.99, so yeah...everything I listen to minus pop-punk is hard.

-Gav

[Brain Dead]

I don't listen to too much heavy stuff, but Pig Destroyer and The Dillinger Escape Plan are probably my heaviest.

[form]

I don't know, but I'm just gonna go with:

Through the Eyes of the Dead
The Black Dahlia Murder
Cradle of Filth>from what I've heard

Hardest music out of what I listen, is probably above.

[Bad Blood]

If I ever do, which isn't that often, I have to be in the mood.

The Locust
Anapparatus
Pink Handgrenade
Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower.

[Ross]

I do like a bit of hardcore... Sick Of It All and Refused for example. Only every now and then.

<3 Propagandhi <3

Most metal is pretty cack tbh. I like Minor Threat and Black Flag... they ain't that hard, more just "shouty shouty" or whatever.

[billiejoe84]

Hmm, I've not really been listening to much heavy stuff recently. Probably Dillinger Escape Plan are the only 'heavy' band I really listen to at the moment. And possibly Shadows Fall if I'm in the right mood.

[Oz Rembrandt]

System of a Down. Yeah Ross, I really do like them.

[Mute Print]

I listen to hardcore, emo, and some metal and grind.

[poprocks&coke]

I-a like-a Metallica.



/said in Italian accent.

:lol:



(and Slayer)

[Ross]

System of a Down. Yeah Ross, I really do like them.

No, no you don't. No-one REALLY likes them.

Although "Steal This Album" has some fun songs on.

[cobert]

I listen to hardcore and emo, and grindy stuff like combatwoundedveteren and pg.99, so yeah...everything I listen to minus pop-punk is hard.

-Gav

Pretty much.

[stinkypoptart]

soundgarden, green river, some of nirvana can be hard i guess, black flag, alice in chains once in a while.

[encmetalhead]

BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *goes back to rock and metal forum*

[poprocks&coke]

You what?

[Untitled]

Lol muse is proberly the hardest thing i listen too.

There not even hard at all.

[DFelon204409]

Crowpath is the heaviest band of all time. Period.

[cobert]

Crowpath is the heaviest band of all time. Period.

Dude, all bands from those scandinavian countries are ****ing rough.

[cbmartinez]

Well, sometimes when I'm angry, I listen to Linkin Park.

[DFelon204409]

Dude, all bands from those scandinavian countries are ****ing rough.

Crowpath is something beyond though. "20 Year Delayed Abortion" sounds like 1,000,000 nails on a chalkboard put through an effect pedal that doubles the sound and drops the copy down 10 octaves. Not to mention how brutally fast it is.

[Get Fighted]

I LOVE Alexisonfire.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

Emperor makes me go absolutely insane. I've gotten whiplash headbangin' to those guys.

[Concubine]

Napalm Death, Pig Destroyer, Converge, Cryptopsy

[cbmartinez]

I LOVE Alexisonfire.

whoa br00tal

[DFelon204409]

I know if you think that's crazy u shud try out FBTMOF!

[Fish]

vince uploaded me some Nile one time, its probably the hardest stuff i have..

[Laafe]

Well, sometimes when I'm angry, I listen to Linkin Park.

lmao.

[La Revolucion]

I really don't listen to much of that type of stuff. Hardest I have is probably any of the Mastodon albums.

[Against Miik!]

The Veronicas

[Surtr]

My Metal stuff?

I'd say Cradle Of Filth?

[yourstruly]

The only heavy bands I listen to are Blindspott, Nirvana, Incubus and The Bled. I'm starting to get into more heavier stuff aswell, so that list will grow.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

Nirvana isn't really all that heavy.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Good Charlotte is pretty heavy amrite?

I don't listen to too much heavy stuff. Mostly BTBAM.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

Oh yeah GC is toe tull ee heavee.

What exactly is everyone in here's definintion of hard/heavy?

[masada]

Either the one Pokemon Christmas Album or maybe Cryptopsy.

[Tjebby]

UnderOATH??

[DJ Ducksauce]

Oh yeah GC is toe tull ee heavee.

What exactly is everyone in here's definintion of hard/heavy?
Heavy to me is something with lots of bass and drive in the music. Lots of low stuff going on to make it non-light if you will.

[The_Red_Death]

Protest The Hero, as well as random other hardcore/metalcore/emo songs when I'm in the mood.

[Cravinov13]

Bloodbath, Nile, Behemoth, and Kataklysm are my heaviest.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

I also musn't forget Entombed.

[Reaganista]

probably city of catterpillar.

I dunno.

[Tyler]

Crowbar. Probably the hardest band ever.

[bottlerocket]

Norma Jean really brings the mosh. I always bring my dancing shoes everytime I'm going to listen to them.

-Gav

[TMA]

Ok, so I said earlier that Raised Fist was a big one for me. I just now realized that they are the heaviest, not exactly the hardest. That one would have to go to The Blood Brothers.
And cbmartinez... I really hope you were joking about Linkin Park.

[Mitch2oo6]

You can tell from the way he typed it, I swear I heard Napoleon Dynamite.
Heaviest I've got might be...Hm, no idea...I really dont dig Nile though, ewy.
Mortification, August Burns Red or possibly Norma Jean.
^ one aaaaaaand that ^ are both Christian :p

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

I don't listen to much 'Harder' music at all.
The heaviest stuff I get into is probably something like UnderOath, or Silverstein... which isn't particually heavy.

[Ross]

rofl Gav.

How could I forget?!

****IN' SLAYEROROR!!!1

[Concubine]

Norma Jean really brings the mosh. I always bring my dancing shoes everytime I'm going to listen to them.

JUN JUN JUN

[bottlerocket]

WEEEEEEEEEEEE!

EVERYBODY PUT YOUR MOTHER ****ING DANCING SHOES ON! MOSH CALL, YOU PUSSIES!

-Gav

[...someone®]

I don't listen to much hard music and I don't really know where these bands come in the grand scheme of things so... AlexisOnFire? Poison The Well? Possibly a few more I don't remember.

[Liquid Force]

Killswitch, BTBAM

[bottlerocket]

I am in love with your avatar and user title.

GavSavesTheDay

[Trevo]

The hardest I listen to is probably Metallica and pantera. Only because that's all my guitarists play.

[spoon_of_grimbo]

well i like quite a lot of pop punk. at the moment, im particularly liking the new The Loved Ones record ("Keep You Heart"), but i also like stuff like carcass and napalm death. just a wide ranging musical taste really. cant be bad lol!

[frmautumTOashes]

BTBAM
Fear Before
dillinger escape plan
every time i die
poison the well
converge
probably the heavyest band i listen to regularly is the number 12 looks like you.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

I've seen DEP be mentioned multiple times in here, I need to check em out.

:thumb:

[Permanent Solution]

Probably Nile. Or Death.

Some Death Metal or Black Metal band...

[BridgeToSolace]

Tower Of Rome.

The heavier and less melodic music is, the more boring it gets, so pure death and the like is pretty monotonous.

[Permanent Solution]

just because you can't take the br00tality doesn't make it monotonous <_<

But go listen to Death.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

I don't see how something heavy can be defined as boring. I find that adds to the excitement and drive of the music, it makes it anything but boring.

[BridgeToSolace]

I don't see how something heavy can be defined as boring. I find that adds to the excitement and drive of the music, it makes it anything but boring.

Don't get me wrong, I love heavy music. I'm all about breakdowns and t3h mad riffz. I listened to Misery Signals all day today. I'm listening to Folly right now.

When you get to the point of Nile and other Death metal bands or whatever, when bands are just trying to tune as low as possible and then tremelo notes as fast as they can with maybe a keyboard following the root note, it's just very boring. Other extremely heavy bands like Devour lose all sense of individuality in their songs since all you every hear is sub-sonic notes (with a pinch harmonic hear and there) with the deepest, most lifeless and boring scream ever.

Things that make a song memorable: Breakdowns or melodies (this doesn't mean poppy singing, this can mean memorable lead riffs, etc.). The heavier music gets, the less breakdowns you have (death metal doesn't have any at all! LAME!!!) and the lest melody you have, substituted for very low, inaudible dribble. Thus, songs are less memorable and boring.

And I base these claims on absolutely nothing. I'm just putting off studying for my math final.

[Concubine]

Ugh, i find that breakdowns are overused nowadays, that it's getting boring. It's hardly memorable. And i assumed you listen to a lot of hardcore, not metal?

[nobodyblossomsforever]

I think that the death metal stuff that uses very low frequency and production is boring, but when they put a little bit of shred and even keyboards, I think that adds to the energy.

[Permanent Solution]

Don't get me wrong, I love heavy music. I'm all about breakdowns and t3h mad riffz. I listened to Misery Signals all day today. I'm listening to Folly right now.

Nile is awesome, your music is not. :p

But really, in one sense you could see a lot of Death Metal songs as one continuous breakdown. Basically though...you suck. :-*

PS once I get ahold of our demos I'll send you a link, I think you'd like my project up here. I do lead guitar.

[BridgeToSolace]

Ugh, i find that breakdowns are overused nowadays, that it's getting boring. It's hardly memorable. And i assumed you listen to a lot of hardcore, not metal?

I think choruses are pretty overused these days. Verses too.

If you don't think breakdowns are memorable, then you aren't listening to the right breakdowns :p

Or you're listening to the music wrong or something.

I listen to a fair bit of hardcore. More often I listen to metal-with-breakdowns or metalcore or something. Or hardcore influenced music. Pure hardcore (old school like minor threat) is very boring.

[BridgeToSolace]

But really, in one sense you could see a lot of Death Metal songs as one continuous breakdown. Basically though...you suck. :-*


You don't seem to understand what breakdowns are.

There's a difference between chugging (heavy, palm muted riffs) and a breakdown.

It's kinda like the difference between a lead riff and a solo.

[Permanent Solution]

meh meh meh

you know what i meant.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

Aren't breakdowns usually the part where the tempo slows down temporarily?

[BridgeToSolace]

Eh, that's the real definition of breakdown when used in literal music terms.

http://www.purevolume.com/miserysignals

Five Years. Go to 1:50 about.

Now THAT'S a breakdown.

Cool a new band to check out.

:thumb:

EDIT: Yeah, that has breakdown written all over it. Not one of the best ones I've heard though.

[BridgeToSolace]

I listened to them all day, so I had them in mind.

Through The eyes Of the Dead, Folly, Protest The Hero, Bridge To Solace (new stuff), The Acacia Strain, The Warriors, all have great breakdowns.

[FungusAmngus870]

Converge
Poison The Well
Between The Buried and Me
Job For A Cowboy
Saetia, not that heavy, just really chaotic at times
Underminded
I use to listen to a lot of heavy stuff, but it started to get boring.

[Kithkin]

The Weakerthans...

[ZaaR]

[Firecracker]

MAIDEN!!!

necrophagist
dying fetus

[Firecracker]

Burzum are rubbish, for future reference.

[ninjaXcore]

The Blood Brothers
Circle Takes the Square
UnoDosTres.

And The Fall Of Troy.

[711]

I love Refused. They rock.

[deathscreamingsheep]

A bit of Mastodon is about as heavy as I get metalwise, and I listen to some emo and hardcore stuff too.

[DannySmith]

I listen to a bit of melodic/speed metal.
Soilwork (my fav metal band)
Children of Bodom
Norther

I can't put up with death for long though, just gets annoying.

[DFelon204409]

Crowbar. Probably the hardest band ever.


I think you mean Crowpath

[RetiredAt21]

I listen to alot of heavy music. Alot of grind, death metal, etc...

[adarkform]

haha wtf

[16 Nipples]

Anyone herd of Berzerker? They are ****ing crazy

[Get Fighted]

Johnny Truant.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

I listen to alot of heavy music. Alot of grind, death metal, etc...

I bet you don't listen to bands as heavy as Alexisonfire or Blood Brothers ???!!!??

[DannySmith]

I think every ones perception of *hard* music is different, for instance Good Charlotte was mentioned earlier on. When you consider their riffs, I suppose they could be considered hard rock, but say that to the average metal head and they'll try raping you.

Download,

Soilwork - Distance (Melodic Metal)

Children if Bodom - In Your Face (Speed Metal)

Behemoth - Slaves Shall Sever (Death Metal)

Enslaved - The Dead Stare (Black Metal)


Should give you a rough idea of what hard music is considered to be in the *hardcore* world.

(Cos it's sooo hardcore like... you have to have had so much crap go on in your life to listen to it, otherwise you're just a poser...)

[Surtr]

I personally reccomend not downloading ANY of those :p

I can't stand any of those 4 bands lol.

I've got some heavy stuff I listen to, but let's face it folks..Power Metal is still where it's at :)

lol well each to his own. I personally can't stand black/death metal, just bores me after the first 2 minutes. i.e. I can't stand Behemoth or Enslaved either.

But now soilwork... and COB...

[Surtr]

Children Of Bodom are..not my cup of tea..I like Cradle Of Filth to an extent.

[Firecracker]

Wrong thread my son.

[Surtr]

Wrong thread my son.
Err..What?

I accidentally posted what I was listening to in this thread, mistaking it for the "What are you listening to now?" thread. I deleted my post after I found out.
