norther arent repetitive..for the most part, atleast its not all synth crap (ie: angels dont kill). frozen sky and beneath kill everything cob has ever put out.

[QUOTE=high_voltage_acdc]I hate the production/tone on Something Wild otherwise it would be in the top 2.[/QUOTE]
To me, the Something Wild production was what made old Bodom special. SW had a raw, darker and more atmospheric feel. It was like incredible black/power metal. But I guess I'm the only one. Oh well, sh[SIZE=2]i[/SIZE]t happens...

Their riffs are alot more alike, power/root 3rd/root 4th cord, mute, chord stab. Almost every song has a riff based off that formula.

I know where you're coming from I just can't get the right vibe when I listen to it. :)

I agree that Norther aren't repetitive. I actually like them quite a bit. But the thing that always got me about them was that they used WAY too much synth...which is funny, because you're saying you like them for using less synth then Bodom.



Everybody go over to the top 100 metal bassists competition and vote for Henkka NOW.

I love Norther but if you know how to play all their songs on guitar you'll sart to see the similarities all of them have.

power metal is gay anyways, death to all false metal

Dismissing an entire genre? For shame...

Go listen to some Nightwish and tell me they aren't good.

And I don't like Norther as much...too much synths. Decent band, but Bodom is better.

Norther > Nightwish X 12308586905760687

:p

well yes, because i can do that ;d, hammerfall - glory to the brave = very unhetero

by the way, stefan fimmers>henkka blacksmith

[QUOTE=Kreator2112]by the way, stefan fimmer>henkka[/QUOTE]
I agree.

(Henkkas band is better than Stefans though but not by much.)

[QUOTE=Kreator2112]power metal is gay anyways, death to all false metal[/QUOTE]
I hate you. Power metal is one of the only pure metal genres left. Especially now that every other death metal band has started using breakdowns and black metal produced Satyricon - Volcano. Keep in mind that power metal was the genre that gave birth to metal.

but I agree that Stefan Fimmers > Henkka. Both are excellent bands. Necrophagist is proabably the best death metal out right now.

Wrong. %100

[QUOTE=Kreator2112]power metal is gay anyways, death to all false metal[/QUOTE]
So thrash is real metal whilst power is not?

how did power metal 'give birth' to metal? this is highly arguable mind you

[QUOTE=flamesofbodom]Wrong. %100[/QUOTE]
Nightwish is the [SIZE=2]shi[/SIZE]t of Power Metal.

/I know that must of you guys like 'em but I hate them.

[QUOTE=Kreator2112]how did power metal 'give birth' to metal? this is highly arguable mind you[/QUOTE]
I suppose it is...the first metal bands (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, excluding Sabbath) were basically early power metal. But like you said this is all arguable.

Dont matter. Power metal is just as good. Only difference is vocals. Everything else is still amazing composed music.

To the above: Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Iced Earth, etc. are pretty much the foundation for power metal and i love those bands to death. Some are also the basis for melodic metal

im gonna say black sabbath (doom) was among the very first, (1966)

Sabbath was most likely the first real metal...which makes me wonder why there isn't more Doom Metal around today.

there are few indeed, wierd how there are more death bands, while death metal came out in like 84ish, and doom came out 18 years earlier...i guess more people relate to other genres, although its all based on trends anyhow

Death metal is much easier to get into than doom metal, i think. That may be the reason why so many death metal bands are present. The set formula is easy to follow.

I have only heard 2 Nightwish songs, and the vocals I cannot get into and the music is really boring to me. It's arranged nicely and stuff but I have to have good guitar riffs and leads, and they are much more based on keyboard. I love Norther but I don't think they are as original as Bodom is, although more melodic. You can't compare Norther and Nightwish they are 2 very different bands, so I don't know why you people were bothering.

To Kreator2112, stop being such a jerk to everyone, don't go into a Bodom thread and diss them you'll just be flamed.

Guitar based Nightwish...hmmm...

You could try Romanticide...thats very guitar-centric.

I'll check it out but Nightwish type stuff just doesn't seem like my thing. I'm into melodic power metal like Stratovarius, and I think it's even better when combined with Speed Metal like Bodom, Norther, Kalmah, Skyfire, and Wintersun (The best band ever btw cause they are viking too).

Mkay. I like all the other bands you've mentioned, but I keep hearing stuff about this Skyfire. Anyone got any mp3s?

I'll upload a song. They are like CoB vocally and some of the rythyms are similar, but the overall sound is a bit more progressive.

I see. You know, I was reading this article on some website...(well known, I just can't remember the name) that Bodom was going more progressive on their new album. Forgive me, but what exactly is progressive?
