The Official Metal Topic

[pls respond]

That one doesn't count though, because deathcore is like the easiest thing ever to make fun of

gee i didn't know it was 2005 againseriously only the doom ep was deathcore, everything else is totally legit death metal.

[Rarity]

This is why we can't talk about nice things.

>Walks into BZP Metal topic>Sees talk of cruddy Metal>"Oh God not again"So, who's lookin forward to the new Job For A Cowboy, Tuesday?

You have no idea how funny this is.

wait, did you guys actually think i was serious? lolin' at your gullibilityalso rarity new Job For A Cowboy is fantastic, listening to it nonstopso is the new Disfiguring The Goddess, slammin sickness at its finestbest albums this year imo: Aborted, JFAC, Wretched, Veil Of Maya, Every Time I Die, Emmure, Everything Went Black, and Beneath The Massacre

Eh, Disfiguring The Goddess are not really "true" slam as such, and I was pretty let down by "Daughter of Depths." It lacks the intensity of their past work. And I thought that you did not like slam?Definitely seconding Aborted's new release, and adding Abominable Putridity and Cannibal Corpse. Plus the new Dying Fetus is coming out soon, which is supposed to be less technical and more brutal, which should be interesting. And the new Cattle Decapitation of course.

seriously only the doom ep was deathcore, everything else is totally legit death metal.

I have heard this before so I tried out their later works. Yes, it may be death metal, but it is still nothing interesting and with a boring vocalist. Edited April 8, 2012 by -Sykura-

Well, that's to be expected of me.

[Laughing Man]

I've got some money to spend, and I was thinking about picking up Destroy Erase Improve, Chaosphere, and Koloss (or at least the former two) by Meshuggah sometime next week. Should I?

lol @ boring vocalist. johnny davy is one of the most unique vocalists in the scene today. also demonocracy is next level stuff, go listen to the stream or at least the track "nourishment through bloodshed"also eucliwood replace koloss with catch 33 and then get those. all great album fo sho

[Laughing Man]

I would, but the local music store doesn't have it and I really don't feel like ordering online.

[pls respond]

Just started listening to Lost in the Sound of Separation again. Such a legitimately great album.Too bad nothing Underoath ever does can top it. -Teezy

[Pantera]

HAY GUYTHS! EVER HERD A LIMP BIZKIT?!?JUST KIDDING!Making fun of frat guys from 1999.

[Laughing Man]

but see, it isn't 1999 and Limp Bizkit isn't even relevant anymore, so that really wasn't funny at all.

I have never, ever understood the hype over Underoath, and I listened to their "best" albums multiple times during my metalcore obsession. Even then, nothing about them appealed to me. And tbh I see them as more post-hardcore than metalcore anyway.anyway guys, lots of new album information being released by bands lately. All I can remember off the top of my head are Gojira, Fear Factory, and Daylight Dies, but there've been others.so excited for those three though.

It's personal preference, really. Every album is really either a hit or a miss, but The Changing of Times, They're Only Chasing Safety, Define the Great Line, and Lost In the Sound of Separation are really, really good albums.Also, gonna have to check out new Fear Factory.-Teezy

[Pantera]

Touche, Eucliwood.But I wouldn't mention Justin Bieber here, now would I?Oh no.I can hear the bell toll. But For Whom The Bell Tolls? For me, of course! I guess I'll Run To The Hills.

[shadow pridak money gang]

what are you saying-Teezy

[Pantera]

Whoops! I forgot to quote Eucliwood!Continue talking about that growling stuff.Sorry, I just can't get past Deathcore or Grindcore (or ANYTHING heavier than Thrash) vocals.

[Angel Beat]

I'm going to have to listen to Epica's new album Requiem for the Indifferent soon-ish.

[Xinlo]

I listened to the new Epica, and was really digging it. At first all their stuff kinda' sounded the same, but now that I pay attention more it's really good. Not a fan of the harsh vocalist though, and not even because of his growling. As I discussed with Eucliwood a few days ago, it's like... some harsh vocals can compliment the music, others can just sound wretched, but that guy's... are just there. They don't really do anything.However, Simmons' voice is awesome enough to counteract that.

[Laughing Man]

I can't bring myself to listen to more Epica after hearing them butcher "Crystal Mountain" by Death. The boring harsh vocals just flat-out ruined it.

[Rarity]

Whoops! I forgot to quote Eucliwood!Continue talking about that growling stuff.Sorry, I just can't get past Deathcore or Grindcore (or ANYTHING heavier than Thrash) vocals.

But there's growling in some thrash, too.

Man, you sound like a 12-year-old who just discovered Metallica....And I mean that in the best possible way.But really, how can you like Pantera and say you don't like growling and screaming? Unless you listen to, like, CFH and literally no other Pantera album.

[pls respond]

i love Pantera thinks that deathcore and grindcore are like the most only genres with screamingnew Upon A Burning Body is pretty good, though it's basically the bands way of saying "LOOK AT US we're from Texas and we're mexican and we really like weed"also checked out the new Loma Prieta, it's pretty good crunchy, lo-fi as heck screamo. good stuffsrs question: is there anybody that actually legitimately enjoys Brain Drill? or Rings Of Saturn (who are the -core version of BD essentially)?

Edited April 12, 2012 by Idunnolol

[Pantera]

I know there are more genres with screaming, but I just couldn't think of 'em.I DO love Pantera (duh), but some other bands scream to the point where I can't understand them.Phil can balance screaming and regular singing out pretty well in my opinion.Actually, I like EVERY Pantera album. AND I discovered Thrash when I was about 9. (A friend told me about Metallica. Thank you, Austin!) I'm 13 now.You're arguing with a 13 year old.I dislike Metallica now, sure I like everything AJFA and back, but it's like listening to Death, then trying to listen to ZZ Top afterwards.I just got a little heavier with my Metal Tastes, that's all.

So, the unreleased Pantera track is out today. Anyone heard it?I'm not too big on it. It's not bad, but I can see why it didn't make the cut to Vulgar Display Of Power.

But it kinda made it onto FBD, cause the verse riff is basically Use My Third Arm

[pls respond]

new pantera tune was alright. never really loved pantera, but i get why they're popularyou can definitely tell it's a b side though

[Laughing Man]

[Laughing Man]

True Defiance.Demon Hunter.Can't help it, they were the band that got me into metal alongside Killswitch Engage. I have a soft spot for them no matter how painfully average their music is.Hopefully the Meshuggah albums make up for it.

Yep. Was intentional.

[pls respond]

+15 respect for youdon't feel bad though, 75% of what i listen to is awful -core music speaking of awful -core music, I Killed The Prom Queen is kind of awesome in every single way

[Laughing Man]

just finished listening to Destroy Erase Improve. I need medical help. my face is completely melted off.

see, with Meshuggah, it's not really melting of the face, it's more like your face is just completely disintegrated off of your skull

My thoughts exactly. He reminds me of one of my friends who listens to stuff like Rammstein, Lamb of God etc. along with a little melodic death metal and thinks he is "edgy," but constantly tells me that brutal death and gore/grindcore is just noise, and that it is played by and listened to by people who were bullied at school who think that making hardcore music will make them feel like real men. Oh and he cannot tell the difference between a growl and a squeal either. (Since when did Sven squeal? >>)

srs question: is there anybody that actually legitimately enjoys Brain Drill? or Rings Of Saturn (who are the -core version of BD essentially)?

Yes I like Brain Drill. As for Rings of Saturn, only heard of them now, but them being -core is probably going to make it difficult for me to enjoy them. (Just listened -- that was awful.)
