The Official Metal Thread

I'm going out for them right now, I'll tell everybody what I got, because we somehow managed to get a page of posts for this

 

Actually, now that I think about it, I've always liked Immortal's music, but their promo pics are so damn stupid.

 

Haven't listened to them, but their pictures are damn hilarious.

And for my Cds, I Black Metal'd out, because the HMV in West Edmonton Mall is the only one that carries it. I got De Mysteriis, Dark Medieval Times by Satyricon, and the Emperial Live Ceremony DVD by Emperor.

 

no kezia

 

An other question, what is the best Metal magazine? I subscribe to Revolver, but they cover too much mainstream music for my taste, so I'm thinking about getting an other one too.

 

Metal Maniacs covers a lot of black/death metal...

---

I've been listening to a LOT of Meshuggah lately, and they're quite a unique band. The 8 string riffs, Jens Kidman's demented vocals, and most importantly, the way Tomas Haake has his feet doubling the riffs and his hands playing an entirely different beat. GREAT band.

 

So, would you have a recomended Meshuggah album?

 

I'd say Nothing. Wow, I haven't listened to Meshuggah in ages but they are amazing.

 

Destroy Erase Improve, Chaosphere or Nothing.

you know you're good when 90% of your rhythms are exactly the same but you still sound awesome...

 

Has anyone here ever listened to Cephalic Carnage..?

 

^ never heard of it, ill check it out

cunnrently listening to Fear Factory - Transgression all day, what a fucking great song that is

 

I'm not realy into Grind, but they are amazing.

 

I was never really into grindcore, either but I like them. I thought they incorporated a lot of death metal into their sound, though...

I had never heard of them until the other day when I was at Hot Topic looking through the music and I saw Xeniosapien and the album art and title jumped out at me.

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

So so far the metal bands I'm into are

As I Lay Dying
The Black Dahlia Murder
Cannibal Corpse
Cephalic Carnage
Children of Bodom (obviously...)
Devildriver
Dragonforce
Morbid Angel
Napalm Death
Pantera
Slayer
Thine Eyes Bleed

And I used to have a couple of Despised Icon songs on my iPod but they seem to have disappeared.

I need to get into some black metal, any suggestions..?

 

deicide, fear factory, wednesday 13th

those good enough?

 

I'm currently in love with Sonata Arctica's song "For The Sake Of Revenge", and I'm buying Unia too. Though I heard that this album is a dissapointment for some SA fans. Is that true?.

And I'm also listening to Within Temptation's "The Howling". Amazing!

 

Best band of their genre by far

too bad 95% of that album sucks

www.myspace.com/damascus

you go to Hot Topic? tsk tsk. do they still at least sell wristbands there?

if you like Corpse and Angel, listen to Death. I'd also recommend you Damageplan, Kreator, OLD! Sepultura, At The Gates, The Haunted and Meshuggah.

For black metal, stick to Mayhem and Emperor.

old Fear Factory is fucking amazing, and listen to Morbid Angel instead of Deicide.

 

Yeah, I like Conforming To Abnormality better.

And where is a teenage girl with no job to get her stuff besides Hot Topic?

*goes to listen to recommended bands*

 

if you like Black Dahlia, listen to Damascus.

As for HT, I was in about 4 different ones in the USA about a month ago and the heaviest band merch they had there was Hellyeah, not to mention a COMPLETE lack of Dimebag Hardware

 

Well, IIRC, I saw Black Dahlia and Cephalic Carnage on hottopic.com and not at an actual store.

It's cuz all the emo and indie kids are shopping there now they're starting to change their merch.

EDIT: *realizing who you were talking to when you said 95% of that album sucked* I didn't see the people you quoted because I didn't read your whole post until I went to quote you...

 

that's how it always was but at least you used to be able to find CoB and Pantera wristbands there
