Speaking of metal, Lars Ulrich from Metallica will get seriously pissed off if he knows you guys are downloading music illegally.:r

Re: Metal!!!
 

Nah it's cool, he's only a pissy little ***** when it's his music being stolen lol

Re: Metal!!!
 

pm me if you want the lamb of god album link

Re: Metal!!!
 

Yeah, why buy it and support the bands you like? :rolleyes:

Re: Metal!!!
 

Opeth (Blackwater park is one of my faves!!!)
In Flames (way commercial for the genre..but stellar)
Dark Tranquility (phenomenal)
Children of Bodom (why have a keyboardist playing rythym guitar parts?..overrated)
Blind Guardian (Maiden much???Jebus!!!)
Demons and Wizards (Blind Guardian much?)
Bolt Thrower (underrated, but i dont like them)
Wintersun (who?)
Nightwish (just not my thing)
Light this city (heard of them..but have not heard them)
Burn the Priest (awesome..but not New American Gospel awesome)
Bury your dead (great stuff in that Hatebreed vein)
Mortal Treason (who?)
Ensiferum (who?)
Norther (who?)
Hammerfall (might as well show up wearing manowar t-shirts to every show)
Iced earth (horrorshow is great..but only when I cant find my copy of Peice of Mind)
Kamelot (I heard they would not let you into thier shows without a pocket full of d20's)
Zao (the best band no one has heard of...period...)

I would also like to say everyone should check out God Forbid too. The Haunted are one of my favourite bands as well.

Re: Metal!!!
 

Who said i wasn't going to buy it? Guess what, i can't buy it till Feb 24th when it's released.

Re: Metal!!!
 

Some of the bands i like, and this is only a taste:

All that remains, Amon Amarth, Caliban, Bodom, Devildriver, Kalmah, Killswitch engage, Parkway drive. I have a lot at home, i'm at work atm tho.

Re: Metal!!!
 

If you have never heard of Wintersun, Ensiferum, or Norther I suggest you find them and have a listen.

Goalie: I like Mortal Treason because they are a really talented band not because they are christian. Some bands I left off the list were Behemoth, Dimmu Borgir, and At the Throne of Judgement.

Re: Metal!!!
 

So they can do the best damn cover of 'The Final Countdown' ever of course :r

Re: Metal!!!
 

These are great bands. :tu

Re: Metal!!!
 

Here are some other obscure (to most people) bands I like:
Agalloch, Asmegin, Borknagar, Ensiferum, Kalmah, Falkenbach, Into Eternity, Finntroll, Callenish Circle, Melechesh, Moonsorrow, Orphaned Land, Thyrfing, Enslaved, Neuraxis, Edge of Sanity, Omnium Gatherum

Re: Metal!!!
 

Into Eternity is friggin sweet. Finntroll...well, all I have to say is if you've never heard of them, just watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGywo81G6lk

Love it or hate it, it's a hilarious video.

Re: Metal!!!
 

I'm more doom/drudge/sludge metal: Sunn0))), Boris, Earth, Pharoah Overlord, Om, Nadja, etc. Don't mind me some proggy metal in the form of Pelican, Isis, and Red Sparowes, but that's less and less these days.

Last show was Om and it was deathly loud...amazing that a single guitar and drum kit can nearly blow your eardrums out.

Re: Metal!!!
 

Doom/sludge is the one type of metal I am not really into. I don't dislike it, it just not my thing.

Re: Metal!!!
 

I have heard and listened to wintersun, ensiferum and norther. I have some ensiferum, but am not a big fan of any of them.

I liked the mortal treason music that i downloaded, the music was great, and they are talented musicians, but as soon as i started hearing christ this and jesus that, I lost interest. I can't stand that sh1t.

Re: Metal!!!
 

Was going to ask if anyone was into stuff like this. I'm a fan of doom/drudge/drone stuff like Asunder, Ataraxie, Catacombs, Comatose Vigil, Saturnus, Until Death Overtakes Me, Colosseum, and Slumber. Isis is great too.

Re: Metal!!!
 

I absolutely LOVED Callenish Circle's last album and was super bummed when I heard they broke up. I was just starting to get into them :)

Re: Metal!!!
 

Wow, never heard of any of these groups. Must be getting old.

Re: Metal!!!
 

You guts like metal? Here's my son's band...

Re: Metal!!!
 

That's all stuff I'm not as familiar with, but I move slow. :r

Re: Metal!!!
 

metal is such a blanket genre and some of it opnion as to what is metal.

Re: Metal!!!
 

:r not surprised, the only one from your list I've heard of is Sunn0))). There seems to be a ton of bands in this sub-genre. Maybe it's because anyone with a guitar and garage band can record a power-chord being held for 5minutes over white noise.

Re: Metal!!!
 

I try not to let things like that affect me and what I listen to. If I think a band has talent and I enjoy listening to them that's all I care about, I don't pay attention to their politics or beliefs.

Re: Metal!!!
 

Generally Christian and Metal have never really gone together. However lately there have been quite a few Christian Metal bands that I've very much enjoyed. And not being a Christian myself I must say, its all about the music.

If you get a chance, check 'em out:

Norma Jean (my favorite Christian Metal band)
UnderOath
Haste the Day

Re: Metal!!!
 

I know of all of those, a little more HXC than metal. Norma Jean is fun to listen to but Underoath is a little annoying to me.

Re: Metal!!!
 

Yeah, there's definintely a lot of crap in this subgenre out there, but every now and then you come across something like Sunn0))) & Boris' Altar from last year, and you have a revelatory experience. I've been digging deep into Nadja/Aidan Baker this last year for just that reason...dude is ridiculously prolific (like 10-15 albums per year under various monikers) and each one is full of epic melodies that rip dark and dank-like. The recent split release he did with Atavist and Satori is a great example.

Re: Metal!!!
 

A lot of the bands i listen to, i can't hear the lyrics. As a musician by blood and formerly of practice, my big thing is the music. I don't often care about lyrics. But because of my views on religion, I don't like to hear about "jesus" or "christ" in the way they scream about it, and i can hear it. Their music is great like i said, but hearing this jesus crap ruins it for me sometimes. In this case it did. I still have the albums, so i'm going to give them another shot, but if in every song i hear that crap, nothx.

Re: Metal!!!
 

The best thing about this thread is that I'm always looking for new metal to listen to. I have listened to a lot of the bands mentioned here, but a lot i have never heard of and look forward to checking out their stuff in hopes that I love some of them.

Re: Metal!!!
 

I would also like to suggest checking out Ghoultown and Maltoro, on a completely different vein

Re: Metal!!!

Re: Metal!!!
 

I listen to a spread of different types of metal, Nevermore, Beneath the massacre, necrophagist, suffocation, megadeth, iced earth, those are just some of the cd's that I have been listening to lately

Re: Metal!!!
 

Wow I am suprised I did not see this topic before. Outside of drone and electronic this is probably my most listened to genre of music. I am in love with sludge, black metal, death/doom and funeral doom.

I figure though most of you enjoy thrash and [ower so I would recommend Morbid Saint - Spectrum of Death for thrash and Jag Panzer - Ample Destruction for power.

In case anyone on here has one.

Re: Metal!!!
 

i just like music that owns, i don't do the whole categorizing, cuz frankly, i'm not familiar with whats what. I listen to a lot of bands and i dont know if they fall under heavy metal, or water bottle metal (i made that up) i just like what i like :D

Re: Metal!!!
 

or sissy metal :rolleyes:

Re: Metal!!!
 

or canadian pufftercore metal

Re: Metal!!!
 

retards :) :p

Re: Metal!!!
 

I'm a pretty rabid Dream Theater and Megadeth fan. Loved Metallica until the "Black" album, then kind of drifted away because they started to suck, until this new album. Also a pretty big Opeth fan. Have seen them all multiple times.

Love all the usual suspects as well, Slayer, Maiden, Dio, Rainbow w/Dio, Sabbath w/Dio, Pantera and on and on. I don't get into too much of the guteral death metal except for Opeth.

Symphony X is fairly fantastic as well.

I've started to move more to Progressive, going to see Porcupine Tree next month and can't wait.
