Opeth is one of my favorite bands. I saw them in Montreal, gonna go see them in NYC in september

Amon Amarth, Iced Earth, In Flames, and a bunch I cant remember because it is early

In Flames is good. I love old Metallica.

Currently I'm obsessed with Devildriver and Atreyu.

08-11-2008, 10:27 AM
Atreyu is pretty soft IMO, kinda sellout in their sound- devildriver has a very good base for their work and have good pieces but they always seem to fall a little short for me.

Slayer, how could I forget them?

Lamb of God has some good stuff, the sword is a very good band worth checking out.

Megadeth, All that Remains

As I Lay Dying- a lot of good songs.


Killswitch Engage has some good stuff

KMFDM's WWIII is a sick song

Old Avenged Sevenfold- Darkness Surrounds and City of Evil albums, not their first or their most recent

A lot of people like Children of Bodom a lot- they are ok but not really on my iPod

It Dies Today, Still Remains' Blossom the Witch is a great song

I spent the 90's in all those clubs in Boston listening to my husband and all the other local metal bands. I have to say I'm a bit burnt out at this point. However I do plan to see the Wargasm reunion show at The Middle East next month. That's gonna be a must see.

Well, if we're going to talk about bands like those then yes, I'm a hard rock fan. I love Avenged Sevenfold's "City of Evil" album. Disturbed and Sevendust are cool too.

Does anyone like Adema? Their lyrics kind of annoy me because they lack substance, but I enjoy the rhythm to most of their songs. I don't really know what to make of them.

New Metallica Album Death Magnet is being released Sept 10. I'm excited for it. I'm really hoping that they bring back the pre-black album days. I dont think it will happen but I can always hope.

Also it has The Unforgiven III on it. I and II were pretty good but I dont know about a III. Its either gonna be 3 strikes your out or third times a charm

Thrash Metal. Like from the 80's, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and then I like Pantera, kinda had their own style of metal, kinda groovy metal sort of thing going on there. Also, Hair "Metal" is just awful, I mean, was there really any talent in hair metal whatsoever?

I just ran these bands by my kids. They like most of them too. My 16 yr old Brian says how about Oh Sleeper, The Devil Wears Prada, Norma Jean, Emmure...if you like those other bands you likely would like these (I guess Emmure is a local band).

I saw As I Lay Dying with August Burns Red and Evergree Terrace and Misery Signals at the Webster in Hartford...well actually took my 16 yr old and some friends there, I personally had to spend most of the show in this side bar watching the Celtics.

We also saw Chiodos with Drop Dead Gorgeous, MXPX and The Color Fred.

I grew up on the big hair bands, still love Iron Maiden, Queensryche, etc. As for these modern bands we're talking about, I don't care for the screaming...I do like the tunes when they're a bit more melodic, like AX7's Seize the Day.

One band I really like, because they're not quite as hard, is Halifax.

Anyone hear the new Metallica album Death Magnetic yet?

I actually think its pretty fucking sweet. Not as good as Vintage 80's metallica but can you really expect that from extremely rich 45 year olds?

But anyways guitar solos are back, the first 3 songs are pretty vintage and there really wasnt any songs on the album I didnt like.

I dont know if I'd use the word sucked. If you put any other name on the front of the album they would be passable but because its Metallica and in comparison to their older stuff it is pretty shitty.

I still wonder what would have happened if Cliff didnt get killed back in 86.

The new Metallica would be really good if Hetfield would shut the fuck up.

The lyrics on this album for the most part were corny, and used up from previous metal songs. Hetfield's voice is just plain awful now too.

I'm pretty good at drowning out the lyrics anyway so its not the biggest deal to me. He sounds pretty good on "All nightmare long", and "Unforgiven III" is very good and doesn't sound like the others, though there is a buildup that could have amounted to much more.


I saw Opeth at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square last Thursday. Very good show with a diverse set full of some of my personal favorites.

To be honest I didnt listen to a thing before they came out. We took 40 minutes to drink a bottle of Basil Hayden on the train ride in and the posted up at the bar until just before they came on.

Trivium's new album, Shogun, is astoundingly good. I also had a chance to listen to all of A Sense of Purpose (In Flames new album), and that album's pretty awesome too. I heard Death Magnetic sucked so I won't bother with that. Never liked Metallica anyway, to be honest. Lost In The Sound of Seperation isn't too bad either (Underoath).



But really, Shogun's a must. Into the Mouth of Hell, Shogun, Throes of Perdition, and Like Callisto To A Star In Heaven are some of the best songs I've ever heard. I got this shit on my Fuze and I'm playing the shit out of it every day.

Ive listened to 3 inches of Blood's newest that came out on tuesday and as a huge 3InOB fan I'm not that impressed. The album is ok with a couple very good tracks (Execution Tank, All of Them Witches) and the rest is pretty pedestrian with some good guitar riffs that show up mid-songs.

Trivium's Shogun album is very very very good.

I think someone should remake Braveheart into a musical with Iron Maiden's music dubbed in over the top. Among others, you could have The Clansman, Run to the Hills, and Robert the Bruce cranking out Paschendale at the end.

They have a lot of thrash to them. Personally, I don't think they sound like anybody, but usually they get linked to old school bands like Judas Priest. They have a very unique sound though.

They did a SICK Blue Oyster Cult cover on their new album. Hahaha

Fire up the Blades, their 3rd album, was produced by Joey Jordison ( who has also filled in on drums a couple times) because he loves them so much.


The only way to get them really is to listen to them, IMHO.

Deadly Sinners
Night Marauders
Destroy The Orcs
The Goatriders Hoarde
Trial of Champions

They also have sweet lyrics too.

The best way to describe them for me, is like this: If I had 4 minutes to kill as many people as I could and needed a soundtrack for it, it would be 3 Inches of Blood.

My soundtrack would be Locust Star by Neurosis. I don't know if I've heard anything more angry sounding, just watch them play it:

Well, there are different kinds of killing songs. For instance:

If i had an entire army to help me kill the enemy with firebombing and gatling guns, I would listen to Gojira's The Art of Dying

If I had to kill the devil in an epic battle back and forth, I would probably listen to Opeth's Demon of the Fall

If I had to kill my wife (I don't have one) I would do it to Barry Manilow's Can't Smile Without You

If I had to kill the cops in a getaway chase I'd listen to Judas Priest's Breaking the law
or Scott Joplin's The Entertainer

If I had to kill everyone comic book style I would do it to A7X's Beast and the Harlot (the live version with the best death growl/shriek ever).

If I had to kill harmless villagers in a bevy of laughter I would do it to Iron Maiden's Run to the Hills

If I had to run down the streets killing random strangers with nothing but everyday objects it would be to Marilyn Manson's Astonishing Panorama of the End Times

if I had to kill my worst enemy by stabbing him 1000 times it would be to Raffi's Baby Beluga while making him listen to it with me.

Don't confuse Hot Venom's Pop That Pussy with 2 Live Crew's version. Don't get me wrong, I love them both. Hot Venom, however, is big brass, so it is a much more upbeat, New Orleans, "there's a party in the streets cuz ya poppin that pussy Jacko!" kind of sound to it.

The first record sounded slower than the tv version. I can't say I've listened to it more than a few times though.

I'm pretty big on Neurosis, Death, Sepultura, Mastodon, Bolt Thrower, At the Gates, Slayer. I've tried my darndest to like Isis, but I've always been underwhelmed by their albums.

Lately I've been listening to a lot more stoner rock and stoner metal (i.e. Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Electric Wizard)

People need to remember that music isn't about impressing people with "skillz" or toughness, it's supposed to come from the "heart" and "mind", not fists and penises (or c*nts).


I'm not so sure. See, I like music with coherence and people who actually know how to play their instruments. Thrash is just too much... noise.

Just stop talking. Please. You're making yourself look bad. Go try to learn a thrash song. Try it. Those are all musicians who practiced for a long time, many of whom studied classically. It's all composed of scales, chords, arpeggios, all of which are used in every other form of music.

Listen to something like Musical Death by Testament. Here's a video for you.

That's not noise. It sounds like they know how to play their instruments, and it sounds coherent.

Or how about Orion by Metallica, composed by a bassist who was orignially classically trained on Piano.

This is news to me.

Well, not to any standard I'm used to. :( I'll admit, they are very good at... doing what they do...

That being said, I'm sure there are some thrash "musicians" (:blink:) that know what they are doing and can play other genres, but I'd be surprised if it's more than maybe 1&#37; of the genre.

A good thing to note, music to me is more than just something to listen to. I rarely can go a day without listening to music/playing. My ipod goes absolutely everywhere with me and I almost always have music rattling around in my head while I'm walking around.

I think you are over reacting. I just don't like that sound. You probably don't like what I listen to either. Big deal. And I did not mean to insult you. You like what you like. That is your right.

I was hoping that you would express why you find this form of music so enjoyable so i could have a better understanding. That's all. I meant no condensation.

Alright fine. I might have taken that the wrong way. My bad. I guess I will explain why I find that certain form of music enjoyable. I like the musicianship. Someone looking at it from the outside would probably listen to it and not think much of it, but there is plenty of complex guitar work, drum work and bass work that I find interesting in things like this. I like listening to stuff like this because I like to play instruments on my own and like things I can challenge myself with. Also it's just fun music to listen to. Going to see things live like this is a spectacle. The intensity, the loudness, their ability to play well even live, the energy are all things I love.

Your talking to somebody who spent his youth Idolizing Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, John Petrucci, etc etc. I spent years learning shred and then I did what most do... I moved on. As someone who spent a couple years at Berklee, it's a very common progression. Just about every "shred" head I knew moved on to modern rock, fusion, jazz, etc.

Now, I did watch those clips and I'm completely not saying Metallica is terrible or can't play. Metallica (Iron Maiden, etc) was a pioneer of the metal genre. It's certainly better than A LOT of music out there. I'm far more likely to listen to this type of metal over any pop or rap. But as music, it's just... stale?

Call me a jazz snob, but sweep arpeggios and phrygian major runs don't impress me very much, nor do they sound all that pleasant (especially with heavy distortion and terrible tone). Yngwie's first album was great, it was original (aside from Ritchie Blackmore), had some good ideas and his tone isn't too bad. The problem is he never went anywhere and it got old, fast. I know it can be said about every genre, there are plenty of "jazz" musicians who suck, but I find there is a lot less over all talent (interesting ideas/passion) in the metal/grunge/trash/pop genres.

I don't really enjoy that genre, some of the very top material is "fun" to listen to on a blue moon, but any more and it gets old and you end up with a head ache. I'm not saying that it's not music worthy to listen to, I just don't like it.

:lol: I have a friend who does the same. As for sleep, I actually can't fall asleep without music. I tend to listen to more calming music, though. Some of my personal favorite "sleep" music is U2 - The Unforgettable Fire (middle of the CD is very relaxing), Jim Hall and Pat Metheny duo, Pat Metheny "One Quiet Night" (solo acoustic), Mike Stern "Voices", Dave Brubeck Quartet, and if I'm really in the mood Grateful Dead or Bruce Hornsby.

I literally drive myself insane when I don't have music. I can't spend 5 minutes in my car without music (I HATE cell phones in my car) and get easily agitated if someone is talking while I'm trying to enjoy the music. I've become dependent on listening to music to fall asleep. Just last week my headphones finally gave way and I had to sleep without music. Needless to say, I barely got any sleep.

I don't know if I listened to them too much and just got tired of them or I've just discovered better and more intense stuff (like Nile), but Slayer's really lost their shine with me. Reign in Blood just sounds bland in comparison to things like Shovel Headed Kill Machine, Annihilation of the Wicked, Those Whom the Gods Detest, Schizophrenia, etc..., SOH and Seasons bore me... Haunting the Chapel, Hell Awaits, and WPB are the only ones I still give a shit about.

I think Overkill's replaced them as my top thrash band, with Exodus and Destruction being close seconds.

Still, only listening to 90 second clips on shitty computer speakers, and I'll get a copy this weekend.

The new Alice Cooper, though, sounds VERY promising. The thing with Alice though is he's not about metal for me, more a personality I enjoy who plays great songs in several different genres. He's an artist I completely get, I have all his albums.

Yeah, the mix is a shame. I've kind of heard those fills over the years, but never realized they were bass! I always wish Cliff would've been mixed like Steve Harris, but then again, with Metallica, it's always about Hetfield's guitar.

The bass solo in Orion (towards the end of the middle section), was actually written by Kirk and was supposed to be his guitar solo. That was one of the last things recorded for MOP, but since Kirk wasn't around, Cliff recorded the solo on bass. I read that in Joel McIver's book on Cliff.

Scar Symmetry

As you can see, I went through a metalcore phase. Still headbang to some of that stuff but I'm moving past it. I just bought the collector's edition of Machine Head's Unto the Locust and I'd recommend it to any metalhead out there. It's worth the money.

Not a huge fan of rap-metal, especially Tool, Rage Against the Machine etc generally, Disturbed may be the exception. They're on the border somewhere; they get heavy sometimes but I think they consider themselves hard rock or possibly nu-metal.

Please don't ruin a good metal thread with Ugly Kid Joe and Night Ranger.

iOrtiz, I got a recommendation for you. Since you like prog and you mentioned Sabbath up there, I'm sure you'd like Ancestors. They're a newer metal band, in the Sabbath style, but they put out long prog songs. I happened to be listening to them now when I entered this thread.

Well, they are considered metal bands as well. Sure, they do not play death or thrash metal at all, but still they are metal bands. I like those bands.

In fact Ugly Kid Joe play different styles

Genres
Pop/Rock
Styles
Hard Rock
Hair Metal
Pop-Metal
Funk Metal
Heavy Metal

And Night Ranger

Genres
Pop/Rock
Styles
Hard Rock
Contemporary Pop/Rock
Arena Rock
Hair Metal
Pop-Metal
Heavy Metal

On the other hand, if this is a doom/death/thrash/speed Metal thread, I agree, I should erase some bands. ;)

Ohhh... Thanks man, I will try. It's hard to find new bands with the Sabbath style. Or maybe I just stuck in the past :lol:

There are a lot of bands with a sabbath style, they just tend to be lumped in the stoner/doom metal category.

Theres Black Pyramid, Electric Wizard, Church Of Misery, Eyehategod, Graveyard, Sleep(their Holy Mountain album has been referred to "as the best album sabbath never wrote", and a few others.

Yeah!!!! they sound awesome. From what I read, in this album 'Of sound Mind', They tend to go for a doomy, psychedelic sound reminiscent of Deep Purple, Meddle-era Pink Floyd and Uriah Heep rather than the amped-up stomp of Grand Funk Railroad or Hawkwind's spacy explorations.

I just put this album in my must-buy-wait-list. :lol:

True. I just listened Sleep's Holy Mountain album and it's great but just as you said they tend to play into the doom/stoner style. I was listening it and my girlfriend told me, are you trying to invok some kind of evil? :lol:

Favorite metal show I've been to:

Napalm Death and Sheer Terror 1996 at Twisters in Richmond.

Show started late as shit and I was there way too early. Ended up chatting with the Napalm Death blokes. Great guys. Sheer Terror (final tour back then) ripped it up. Napalm Death was awesome and played Nazi Punks Fuck Off.

Wow that sounds like a great show.

My favorite metal show would have to be when I saw Isis on their farewell tour when they broke up last summer. They played with the Melvins who are also great. Since they were from Boston originally they played 2 concerts there in June and I went to both. It was incredible. On the last night the crowd went so insane that the opening bands came out to the back of the stage and just watched us all freak out haha

The only time I saw Isis was at a hardcore show with Assuck, back when they only had the tape demo. Aaron Turner is a fantastic artist and Jeff Caxide was a cool dude. Don't know why the music never did much for me.

Yes, it should be awesome. I liked the new song they released today, and the videos I've seen of live new material was promising.

I'm a big Sabbath fan and I just picked up a couple of Tony Iommi's solo albums on ITunes. Pretty good stuff. Glenn Hughes is the vocalist. There's also two songs that Iommi did with Ian Gillan to raise money for a charity.

You are my favorite relatively new poster. Iommis debut solo album with all the guest musicians was my favorite.

Also, Sabbath is recording, I heard a song off of it like a week ago on Sirius, it sounded pretty good.

Overkill's got a new album lined up for late March.

Has it really been two years since Ironbound? Seems like these dudes just pop em out.

I'm an old metal fan...most of the stuff I love falls into the classic metal/hard rock categories. Grew up in the Seventies with Purple, Zeppelin, BOC and Sabbath...worshipped all those bands and still do. The resurgence in the Eighties with Scorpions, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Def Leppard was fun. I think Scorpions Lovedrive is one of the great heavy guitar albums, Michael Schenker was on some of the tracks.

Anybody checked out Slash's 2010 album with all the guest vocalists-Ozzy, Lemmy, Chris Cornell, Ian Astbury, the guy from Wolfmother etc. Pretty good stuff.

Glad I wasn't around when this thread was happening...it's ugly!

IMO there are only 2 metal bands that matter(ed).

Sepultura (obviously with Max only, and excluding anything with a different front man)
Pantera

I am ashamed at 95%of the bands mentioned in this thread! :harhar:

Atreyu? and all of the other eye-liner post-hardcore bands listed = offensive. ;)

Arise and Chaos AD were Sepultura's peak. Roots was horrible which continued on with Max's Soulfly and Cavelera Conspiracy albums.

I like Vulgar Display of Power, but everything afterwards never really stuck with me. Superjoint Ritual was better than anything post Vulgar Display.

Beneath The Remains >
Vulgar >

ALL Pantera albums are from cowboys to reinventing are untouchable
ALL Sepultura albums w/ Max are incredible

Different eras, but all awesome in their own right/respect. Example...Far Beyond Driven/Roots are Pantera's/Sep's albums that are known in terms of popularity and selling units...But they still aren't bad or watered down.

Soulfly is jokes, but they shouldn't even be brought up - Superjoint most likely appeals to you given it's more of a hardcore feel (which is admittedly what they went for), but it certainly can't touch Pantera in a metal contest by any stretch (opinions aside, that's fact lol)

Slayer is one I will admit should be on the same level as Pantera/Sepultura, but I tend to like them less...I will say that most bands I like are/were influenced by Slayer though.

I like Beneath the Remains as well.

I try to pick up Roots every few years, but it's terrible. Later era Pantera doesn't hold up to Vulgar's high standards.

Two great bands, but you're missing out on a bunch of other stuff. How do you feel about At the Gates or the Haunted?

Pantera is one of the most overrated metal acts of all time I think. Damn

The Haunted Made Me Do It, bro.

They are incredible.

I am so incredibly picky with metal. There are a number of metal bands that I could name that are good...but not on the same level as Pantera/Sepultura/Slayer. Most any good metal band after them, are just spin-offs which where never as good. Most any good metal band prior to them, just didn't do it as well lol.
