zeppelinUSA
01.27.10 | This was good timing, I'm not a huge metal guy and I was looking for some new stuff so thanks |
Yazz_Flute
01.27.10 | haha any time man. If you can get into the harsh vocals you should enjoy most of these as they're pretty melodious (with the exception of Meshuggah which I just put in because they're fucking crazy and polyrhythmic and whatnot) |
Deathcar
01.27.10 | Maybe some CoB?
Needled 24/7 or something reasonably catchy like that?
And maybe Machine Head - Davidian |
Yazz_Flute
01.27.10 | I was considering bodom but decided against it for whatever reason. |
TheSpirit
01.27.10 | Needled 24/7 would've been a bad choice. If it was anything off HTDR (which it shouldn't have been anyway) It should be Bodom Beach Terror. But for best Bodom it has to be either Bodom After Midnight, Hate Me!, Warheart (actually anything off Hatebreeder or Something Wild) |
Deathcar
01.27.10 | Agreed, FTR, Hatebreeder and Something Wild are much better albums, but HCDR is more mainstream/arguably easier to get into for the non-metal listener. |
Progmaster85
01.27.10 | Every song on here is good except 9 |
Yazz_Flute
01.28.10 | Yeah I should've put a SikTh song on there, one of my other friends actually got me into them. I think Gorod would be a bit much, at least for now.
And Opeth is on there dude...The Lotus Eater. |
TheSpirit
01.28.10 | 9 is awesome, better than a lot else that could be put there. |
Poet
01.28.10 | Amon Amarth? |
Yazz_Flute
01.28.10 | AA would've been a good addition too. I tried to stick it with bands that have melodious clean sections/choruses or a more thrash/punk influenced sound. In Mourning and Meshuggah being exceptions but he was interested in Meshuggah and In Mourning is about as accessible as death metal can be. |
Emim
01.28.10 | I concur with Machine Head, good intro metal. |
Yazz_Flute
01.28.10 | I put the Lotus Eater over say...Bleak because it's an excellent example of what they are now. Best song on Watershed, and it's pretty diverse as well. I figured it'd be one of their easier "death metal" songs to get in to. |
Dystopic
01.28.10 | Definitely Amon Amarth becuase they're fairly linear in terms of their sound, should ease your friend into it. |
Nocturnal
01.29.10 | Lamb of God - Ruin |
Yazz_Flute
01.29.10 | I was never a huge LoG fan, they're alright. |
ChildOfHate
01.29.10 | Amorphis - A servant, I of Crimson Blood or any other track from SILENT WATERS should do (i got one of my friends into metal with this album)
Pain of Salvation - Winning a War (i gave another friend Entropia to get him interested into progressive)
|
Yazz_Flute
01.29.10 | Haha I was going to put A Servant or House of Sleep on this originally but took it off at the end, they seemed slightly out of place to me.
And this cd was more for bands that include harsh/growled vocals. I might make a cheesy prog/power metal later. Pain of Salvation is fucking great though. |
DXMdizzy
02.01.10 | Personally i think you should replace DEP's setting fire to sleeping giants with DEP's the perfect machine. To me it's a better example as to what their all about, in terms of technicality and all that jazz. Also you should definetely put something from one mastodon's two most recent albums, to me that music proves the maturity and syphostication of the metal genre. |
DXMdizzy
02.01.10 | oops i'm such a loser, i meant "the perfect design"
|
Yazz_Flute
02.01.10 | I was just trying to get him into metal in general, and I picked 10 becomes it's very much accessible. I wasn't trying to get him in DeP, and i'm pretty sure he wouldn't be big on their "normal" stuff, yet at least. |
Hawks
02.01.10 | So did he like this mixtape? |
Yazz_Flute
02.01.10 | He hasn't listened to it all yet but he liked 1 haha. I burned him Aim & Ignite by Fun. at the same time and he listened to that a bunch of times because it was more up his alley. |
Hawks
02.01.10 | Just tell him to listen to Buried in Oblivion. I'm sure that will get him into metal lol. |
Yazz_Flute
02.01.10 | great album |
Hawks
02.01.10 | Hell yeah. One of my favorites. |
lucazade22
02.09.10 | 36 crazyfists
Agents of Man (Death of Me)
Killswitch Engage (Rose of Sharyn)
Trivium (pull me harder...)
DT...Lethe would probs have been a better choice
Sequoia Throne for Protest, surely?!
In Flames, I reckon the 3rd track from Come Clarity or Alias
