The Metal Thread

[ThemChains]

Because the metal thread seemed to disappear, here's new one, and a better one. No bullshit.

Been listening to a lot of Accused lately.

[mht]

posting this in here also if you some of you don't like hardcore:

Bolt Thrower has released this bit of news regarding their first trip to the USA in 14 years:

"Due to the fact that we are not real festival lovers or great fans of flying, the chances of us ever coming to the States for a one-off show was always very small. But after years of relentless emails from Ryan we've finally given in. It's hard to believe that it's been 14 years since we last played in the US, so we are very happy to announce that we are finally coming back. Bolt Thrower will be playing Maryland Deathfest VII, on May 22-24, 2009, at Sonar, Baltimore, MD."

I was looking for the other thread. I've been digging Nerousis and wanted some other metal recs. Sounds like Bolt Thrower is a good place to start.

[Czarsy]

Shit, that is one awesome fest. Phobia, Grief, Sayyadina, Unearthly Trance, ATHEIST, BRUTAL TRUTH. I thought Pig Destroyer was done, though?

i guess i only listen sub genres of metal and not actually "metal bands"

[x togepi x]

but dudes that ride bikes love the shit out of neurosis. that should have trickled down into myspace by now

[x togepi x]

i guess i only listen sub genres of metal and not actually "metal bands"

no. you just don't have any clue what you're talking about. it would be like me claiming i like... fuck, it is fucking idiotic that you just write those bands off because they aren't shredding. there's more to music than playing fast, and this is coming from someone who usually thinks any band should be faster.

[mht]

so you are trying to say the Faceless are more metal and have done more for metal than Cult of Luna or Neurosis?


aren't the faceless apart of that shitty stupid genre called "Deathcore" made up by teenagers like yourself + myspace?

[mht]

I actually think you were serious calling both bands "nu-metal."

I listen to some shit/generic metal, but most/all of the deathcore scene is just laughable to me.

[lfdfforever]

Cult of Luna and Neurosis bore me

[mht]

have you ever met anyone nice in a deathcore band? i haven't.


can you even name a good or talented band in the genre called "deathcore" that started in what the year 2003?

I can't.

tech-metal? what the fuck is that, you just make up your own genre? are you a metal elitist?

[lfdfforever]

i don't care for sludge metal

[x togepi x]

Cult of Luna and Neurosis bore me

sure, that's an opinion, but you have to some perspective. to compare their contribution to music to nu-metal is completely ignorant, and if you expect to be taken seriously, then you shouldn't make claims like this.

can you even name a good or talented band in the genre called "deathcore" that started in what the year 2003?

I can't.

not really. i just have noticed that the guys i've met in bands like this think they're the best musicians ever.

[mht]

Cult of Luna and Neurosis may bore you but how many bands can you find that are generic copies of them, because I can find hundreds/thousands of bands that sound just as generic as the Faceless.

[mht]

the faceless will break up and be forgotten in 5 years. Neurosis have been around since the 80s.


use your brain. trends/fads = shit.

[lfdfforever]

tech-metal? what the fuck is that, you just make up your own genre? are you a metal elitist? like beneath the massacre, it's just metal with a lot of time changes, very fast and very technical written songs

[mht]

tons of bands like this around my area. all tough guy wannabe perverts that hit on girls and think they are the shit and that open chords = good music. and being violent at a show is "cool"

[lfdfforever]

[mht]

like beneath the massacre, it's just metal with a lot of time changes, very fast and very technical written songs


and beneath the massacre and the faceless sound exactly the fuck a like. every song, every album and so forth for born of osiris, veil of maya, arsonist get all the girls, despised icon, through the eyes of the dead, elysia, war from a harlots mouth, abigail williams, between the buried and me, into the moat, after the burial, sea of treachery, with dead hands rising, winds of plague, harlots, whitechapel, i could go on and on and on with this nu jack shit myspacecore crap.

[lfdfforever]

i think the faceless is more compare to necrophagist than any of those bands

[mht]

LOL. all those bands sound the same. have the same band font. same image. tour together. are doing the same things with their guitar work. tune the same. and all have the same drum beat+fill.


what are you not getting? listen to any of their myspaces and tell me a difference between any of them.

[lfdfforever]

well you know every genre of music will have similar patterns and tuning and similar keys because that's what makes a genre of music but their is more shitty deathcore bands than they are good ones, i will give you that

[mht]

there are no good ones. i will give you that.


the good bands in a genre are the ones that sound different. it's called having originality, something the faceless and all those bands lack. the only thing they have going for them is their cool font shirts keep Hot Topic in business for gullible deaf kids like yourself.

[lfdfforever]

do you at least like converge?

[mht]

what does converge have to do with metal? are they "tech-metal" too?

[lfdfforever]

what does converge have to do with metal? are they "tech-metal" too? converge is metal right? if i said i only like tech-metal i was mistaken

[summer skin]

converge is metal right? if i said i only like tech-metal i was mistaken
Converge is metal?

[Troggy]

LOL tech-metal

Good stuff guys. Going back to the earlier discussion, I have found Cult of Luna and Neurosis a little less accessible than other bands like Isis, Baroness, Opeth, etc...but I have listened to a little of each of them and with time it is definitely something that most metal fans can appreciate. I know some of you guys don't like Opeth, but I think they do a lot of cool things and are as important to this generation of metal as Neurosis and Cult of Luna. I will have to go listen to Neurosis and Cult of Luna a few more times, though.

[wesgemm08]

LOL. all those bands sound the same. have the same band font. same image. tour together. are doing the same things with their guitar work. tune the same. and all have the same drum beat+fill.

Into the Moat isn't the same as the other bands you listed. Not same image, not same drum beat, not same sound.

[Czarsy]

Yo, fuck this. Neurosis is the best band ever.

[Apoc]

First of all, to say every album and every song by Between the Buried and Me sounds alike, or that it sounds like anything else on this list, means you haven't listened to them.

I'll give you that there are more pretenders and poor examples of this style of metal than there are good ones, but that's no reason to write it all off - that just indicates laziness, elitism, and general willful ignorance. After all, the fact that there's more bad examples of music than good is true in just about every genre.

[lfdfforever]

Converge is metal?well metalcore

[mht]

the Silent Circus --> Alaska ---> Colors or whatever it's called do sound a like. The only difference is the newest album has pirate shit parts in it.

[Rodeo]

lfdfforever-un-informed dipshit who should write a fucking book on genres.

You could have possibly just made the worst string of posts I have ever seen. Neurosis and Cult Of Luna as nu-metal? Tech-metal? Deathcore? I'll be sure to file you under: retarded.

[Troggy]

First of all, to say every album and every song by Between the Buried and Me sounds alike, or that it sounds like anything else on this list, means you haven't listened to them.

BTBAM does sound like most things on that list, and their new albums are off the same blueprint as Silent Circus, except now the songs run on for 5 more minutes than they should. They have as little of a concept of songwriting as any other band in their genre and use the same techinques.

It is a common opinion on here to think BTBAM is some transcendently good metalcore band, but I'm not even sure where that comes from outside of comparing them to the bottom of the barrel bands or something.

They just can't write songs that will hold your attention for the 10+ minutes they are playing them now. I enjoy the Silent Circus, it's a pretty good metalcore album, but they keep sounding alike even when the lengths of the songs change.

[mht]

At least I'm glad some users can provide some insight other than "The Faceless and Arsis" are changing metal because they are "techy."

I still think presently Cult of Luna is by far ahead of everyone else in any sort of metal anything category. But Neurosis is all time for me, but in terms of right now, it's hard to say any album topping Eternal Kingdom in the 2007, 2008 or even 2009. Buried Inside I'm sure will give them a run for their money, and I'm sure the Ocean might also.

Neurosis is incredible. I enjoy their "side projects" as well.

Salvation and Through Silver in Blood

[ThemChains]

Mike, have you heard GRACE and Times of Grace played simulatenously?

[mht]

no?

[Troggy]

Salvation and Through Silver in Blood

Okay cool. Salvation is the Cult of Luna album I have listened to, but I haven't heard Through Silver in Blood. Will give them both a listen, though.

[ThemChains]

Neurosis' "side project" Tribes Of Neurot, it's the exact same band, released an album called GRACE, which is to be played at the same time as Times Of Grace by Neurosis. I'll upload it.

[mht]

Okay cool. Salvation is the Cult of Luna album I have listened to, but I haven't heard Through Silver in Blood. Will give them both a listen, though.



instrumentally Eternal Kingdom is much better than Salvation I think.

[ThemChains]

I assume you already have Times Of Grace, but just in case:

Neurosis-Times Of Grace (http://www.mediafire.com/?dc9qtyxxdnx)

Tribes Of Neurot-Grace (http://www.mediafire.com/?gwcw5tnwhnw)

It is ideal if you could listen to them playing simultaneously on two different stereos, this way it sort of fills the room you are listening in, however if this isn't possible, I laid the two on top of each other.

Neurosis & Tribes of Neurot-GRACE/Times Of Grace (http://www.mediafire.com/?tabwmtpmovr)

It's all about A Sun That Never Sets.

[mht]

that's my least favorite. I know I am probably in the minority on that.

[Czarsy]

I didn't know it was possible to have a least favorite Neurosis album. I seriously don't think they have made one album that I don't like, even their early punk shit.

I understand what that one dude was saying about liking metal with technicality, but I don't agree with him dismissing other bands in a broad genre in the process.

Not everyone looks for the same thing in music. Some listen to it for entertainment, others for pleasure, others for influence for their own music. I really wish people would just fucking respect that.

At least I'm glad some users can provide some insight other than "The Faceless and Arsis" are changing metal because they are "techy." To say Neurosis and Cult of Luna is boring, but those two bands who sound exactly the fuck alike in every song are not, is quite the stretch/bold statement if you ask me.

Dude, last i checked the faceless and arsis really dont sound all that much alike other than the fact that they both incorporate some technicality. I can't remember the last Arsis song I heard with a breakdown, while the Faceless prolly have one in every song. You've prolly listened to like a few songs from each and then just dismissed them because you hold on to your opinions very highly. Not saying you have to enjoy it, and i'm not saying that either of these bands are monumental for metal, but they both are good for what they are trying to do. And i certainly don't think they are trying to be genre changing bands.

But anyways...my metal list of late includes:
- (Old) In Flames
- Decapitated
- Psycroptic
- Sleep Terror
- Mercury Switch
- The Faceless

[Angylion Gefell]

White Zombie, Ministry (after Twitch), and Rammstein....although on the less electronic end, Motorhead, Metallica, Pantera....also gotta toss in Cirith Ungol, Sabbath, and Slayer...also Mayhem, for some obligatory black metal, and i'm gonna call Cradle of Filth (say what you will, i like how they sound) and Cattle Decapitation in as well.

My name is Lora and I'm a little crazy. I am always in trouble and I kind of like it. I use to have a great life but I lost a friend and I still don't know how and I miss him very much. Lately all I think about is him and I'm trying to still get in back. I have wrote him notes be any way... I have been to six schools so far, not including a school I went to last summer for history. I have a great boy friend and many great friends. I'm pretty lucky and I'm glad that I'm alive. :)

Metalocalypse if freakin hilarious. I like a lot of newer metal. Not really a fan of sludge metal or grindcore

[EndSerenading]

Lets see, "metal" bands that I still listen to on a regular basis:

Opeth
Between the Buried and Me
Dillinger Escape Plan
Warbringer
isis
Cult of Luna
Neurosis
rosetta
giant/braveyoung
Mastodon
Burst
At the Gates
Faceless
Black Dahlia Murder
old In Flames
Emperor
Protest the Hero (i know i know...guilty pleasure)
old Darkest Hour



and beneath the massacre and the faceless sound exactly the fuck a like. every song, every album and so forth for born of osiris, veil of maya, arsonist get all the girls, despised icon, through the eyes of the dead, elysia, war from a harlots mouth, abigail williams, between the buried and me, into the moat, after the burial, sea of treachery, with dead hands rising, winds of plague, harlots, whitechapel, i could go on and on and on with this nu jack myspacecore crap.

...

LOL. all those bands sound the same. have the same band font. same image. tour together. are doing the same things with their guitar work. tune the same. and all have the same drum beat+fill.


what are you not getting? listen to any of their myspaces and tell me a difference between any of them.

Between the Buried and Me doesnt sound like any of those bands, doesnt have the same font, and certainly not the same image as any of those bands, and Blake is probably a more creative drummer than every other band in that list. besides that I agree with you...and maybe Into the Moat too, they are definitely better than the other bands (thought not awesome, but def above most that list)

[SwiftSilentDead]

I've been really into Kyuss lately. Great shit.

I would say Until your Heart stops was my favorite heavy album of 99, beating out The Poacher Diaries from Converge and Opposite of December from Poison the Well.

[bombsquadjunky]

A lot of Darkest Hour recently, spanning from The Mark of the Judas through their new album.
I gave the new Trivium album a chance and was so glad to hear that it wasn't anything like The Crusade
As I Lay Dying
August Burns Red
All That Remain's The Fall of Ideals
That and Converge's You Fail Me are the bands/albums I've been listening to a lot recently

I will probably go, but I haven't looked into tickets or anything of the sort yet.

[JunBringer]

old Cave In. yes.

While I love the old stuff, I think their last two albums are very underrated. Antennae and Perfect Pitch Black are great albums.


Sorry for the thread resurrection but there was a huge lack of heavy music on the first few pages.

[EndSerenading]

oh, all of their albums are absolutely great. I just specified old since it was a "metal" thread. But yes, all Cave In is awesome.

I hope so, they're one of my favorite bands, and their side projects just aren't the same. Though I do love me some Zozobra.

Neurosis
Tenebrae in Perpetuum

Yeah i can't get into Clouds at all, but I like all of the Steve Brodsky stuff, just not as much as Cave-In.

[Jumpoff]

Check out the others man. Especially Grief, you are bound to like them.

Beatrik and Tenebrae are black metal, lots of atmosphere and extremely awesome.

It takes a lot for me to like a black metal band, but I'll check out Grief.

have you ever met anyone nice in a deathcore band? i haven't.

not really. i just have noticed that the guys i've met in bands like this think they're the best musicians ever.

I know I'm quoting old posts, but this is the truth and deserves to be brought up again.

I already listen to Agalloch once in a while. The Mantle is a decent CD. For some reason, whenever I'm in a mood that calls for Agalloch I end up listening to A Sun that Never Sets by Neurosis instead haha

That and most of those bands don't sound alike anyways. Of course if you're not into metal you wouldn't know the difference anyways, just like country music all sounds the same to me.

[ThemChains]

The new Magrudergrind just leaked. I'd try that.

This record is insane. They just played here and only played stuff off of the new and Rehashed, and Circle Pit Casserole. It was so fucking good.

[EndSerenading]

^^meh, some people just get super picky about certain types of metal. While I agree that a lot of those bands ARE just rehashing similar sounds (that werent that creative to begin with) without bringing much new to the table, there certainly are "standout" bands that unfortunately get lumped into groups like that.

For example, I for one think BTBAM isnt really that comparable to any of those other bands in the list. For starters, they really don't share that similar of a sound or songwriting approach and their knack for melody is definitely stronger. On top of that, you're comparing a band that has been around for 9 years under the btbam monicker, with 3 of the original members in a band that laid the groundwork for BTBAM, dating back another 4 years to 1996 with the other bands in that list average an inception time of about ~4-5 years ago. So considering myspace was started 6 years ago, i could see the silly/stupid "myspacecore" jab being associated with some of the later bands, but not with a band with half their catalog out before myspace was even created.

I'm sure I'll get flamed by some elitists here too, but I also think the faceless are head and shoulders better songwriters than some of the other bands in that list. Nothing "omg i've never heard anything like this before" and they are certainly not my favorite metal band but its good. Call it myspacecore or whatever you want, but its a very enjoyable modern derivative of technical death metal so I couldn't care less what genre someone thinks it is.

^ yea its a solid album. I love them, though I can't listen to them on a non-stop basis, but its definitely a must listen.

[SwiftSilentDead]
