[QUOTE=masterchaos;15282790]Really? I didnt think you were that much of a moron, I guess so.[/QUOTE]

I guess it's because I took a more 'traditional' route to death metal. I started off with Maiden then Metallica, Slayer, German Thrash, Death metal.

So by the time 'Metal' went a bit wierd, ie Sepultura released Chaos AD, Machine Head did Burn My Eyes, Fear Factory did Demanufacture and then Korn released their debut, I was already well into extreme metal and nu-metal just didn't seem to fit. There was no traceable lineage back to the godfathers (Sabbath, Discharge etc). I still don't view Korn etc as metal.

Everything from Priest to even dare I say it, Pantera shared common characteristics but I just don't see that in Limp Bizkit or whoever. There just aren't what metal is about to me. Hell there's bands I despise (90% of power metal for example) but I can see they're metal.

I guess I see the attractions of death metal and nu-metal as being diammetrically opposite. whether that makes me a moron is debatable. If so I blame the :chug:

[QUOTE]And its hard to believe you got into metal in 1988, when most of the posters here were [I]born[/I] in 88...So are you lying? Or were you only like 5?[/QUOTE]

I was 10 possibly 11. I can't remember the exact month.

People being idiots on the internet ITT (IRONY ITP!)

What made it moronic was the fact that you thought liking a band like Korn made it unable for the listener to like death/black metal...

What about Burn My Eyes and Chaos AD was not metal?

To the second bolded: No I completely agree with you...but that doesnt mean you cant enjoy a band from each.

Jondur and Marduk represent teh mx oldschool metalheadz niggaaaa

No, they hate you because you are the type of poster that is going to end up with 5 billion posts, all of which are retarded crap.

[QUOTE=masscows;15272146]It's definitely worth getting into. The first time I heard Lord Worm's vocals I was kinda put off, too, but after a while they grow on you and you realize that his chaotic vocals fit the music perfectly.[/QUOTE]

Not only do they fit the music, they are as brutal as this video

NP Storm of Revelation by the Chasm. Pure ownage, no?

Jondur is old school. I respect his opinion. :)

Stoic: I like the spell of retribution album idk =)

I see :) The song I'm talking about is off Procession to the Infraworld and it happens to be the one which got me into the band. I think being so god-ish has something to do with their mexican herιtage ^_^

[QUOTE=Jondur;15282685][pedantry] Actually I believe it is a reference to the song by the popular beat combo Death[/pedantry][/QUOTE]

oh yeah

Bad pieces of metal for sure.

He said metal went weird, not that they weren't metal.

What's everybodies view on mixing up vocals? like, doing highs, lows, mids, and brees all in one song and changing constantly?

If you're referring to something like Psycroptic - The Colour of Sleep, as an example, then I'd say my view is favorable. It's just one more small thing that adds to the variety and complexity of a song. Makes it more interesting to listen to. Bitch slap me if you're talking about something totally different.

Considering Psycroptic's singer doesn't do it right at all, sort of.

He does vary ****, but he isn't good at it.

Check out All Shall Perish, their singer knows his limits.

Doesn't "do it right". What is that supposed to mean?

It can be nice, as long as they all sound good. It sucks when you hear like a singer who is good at highs but goes low and then just sounds terrible. But it can add a nice variety so you dont get bored with the same style.

@Robots

I was listening to Trauma while driving today..great death metal \m/

I was listening to Bolt Thrower while driving today..also great death metal.

Yeah, 99.9% of their albums are solid.

I only got Those Once Loyal and Mercenary. What should I get next?

BT pwns. "Entrenched" hit on my playlist yesterday.

@Stevo - Get War Master dude.

Txus speaks truth.

Aight, downloading right now. :)

ditto

War Master = Awesome

[I]The IVth Crusade[/I] dammit.
