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.

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.

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

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.
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.

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.

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 :)

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

: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.

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.

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

Nick 02-03-2009 03:16 PM
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.

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.

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.

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
