Pandark Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Anyone who claims Brits cannot make death metal have never listened to Bolt Thrower. Spoiler Some excellent melodic death from Sweden. 50/50 clean/harsh vocals. First three albums are killer. Latest album is quite good. Spoiler New album by Windhand. Jolly good doom.

lonelyace Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 So is this just a place for sharing songs, or is there general discussion about metal as well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Urishir Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Its been mostly songs but try some general discussion and see how it goes, at worst it gets moved to new subject, so no harm in trying. (i dont actually have any authority on the matter just my opinion) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashmedai Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I don't see how discussion could hurt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Silk Bones Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) As a start: What are some bands you like? What about them makes them stand out to you? What are your thoughts on Power Metal? It's not a controversial topic at all, just a general question. My Answers: The Black Dahlia Murder, Oathbreaker, At the Gates, Harakiri for the Sky, Sacramentum, Skeletonwitch, Agalloch, etc. I've also started to appreciate the music of Elderwind. When I listen to music, I always look for the tone of a song. Some of the bands listed here have a sound that is melancholic and sorrowful, while others have a sound that has a drive to seek for something more than what is on the surface. What they all have in common is they each have a unique use of melody that can make one who appreciates classical music adore the "sway and flow" of their songs, so to speak . As an example - The Black Dahlia Murder - Nocturnal - Oathbreaker - 10:56 / Second Son of R. - At the Gates - At War with Reality - Harakiri for the Sky - Calling the Rain (Truly a beautiful song) - Elderwind - Last Winter's Night Perhaps the style and sound can be seen as repetitive to some who have made their way through metal, but I feel these bands and the songs they produce are more than the usual metal. I don't listen to Power Metal enough to develop a firm opinion with more detail. However, I do appreciate the energy that the genre gives. If anyone has recommendations, I'd happily welcome them.

Gizamaluke Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Every time I see this thread i think it's about the Metalheads in Jak and Daxter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piotrek Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 @Silk Bones As for my favourite bands: https://www.last.fm/user/Piotr1981 I like my metal melodic and most of the bands I listen to do pay attention to their melodies. I'm not big on power metal, but I do listen to it every now and then. As for energetic power metal, check out these songs: Spoiler Spoiler 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashmedai Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 1: https://open.spotify.com/user/hxrw78m7bjg9unxglddeqir3a/playlist/15TPgS9RMzDMOn73jhlknT?si=VP2HqNTXS2SrheyAYQm4Kw This is a Spotify playlist I made, which has got most of the stuff I listen to mostly these days. That I've managed to remember to add so far that is. 2: Most commonly, it's a combination of riffs that I find rhythmic or melodic or that is somehow really identifiable and catchy to me, as well as vocals. 3: It's not something I've really gone near. I wouldn't be against if say, I come across a band that gets my attention, that I'd love them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silk Bones Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 @Piotrek Awesome, another Dark Tranquility fan! Also, Altaria is pretty good. Listening to them reminded me of Heroes of Our Time by DragonForce. Altaria is much more calmer though haha. I'll need to look into their songs more. Thank you for the recommendation. Spoiler @Una Salus Victus I'm surprised you like iwrestledabearonce. Although I'm mainly familiar with their old music than anything recent, I really appreciated how Courtney's vocals forms harmoniously with the bands sound. Alike to how Evanescence sounds as one, it's tranquil in a way. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, some of their older stuff was ok when Krysta was singing for them, but there was something about Courtney that I liked that tiny bit more. Mm yeah I can have a bit of a weird taste sometimes. Now and again I'll come across a random band that I'll like, but usually struggle to like anything else related or similar. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't listened to iwrestledabearonce in a while. Maybe I should go listen to them now. The main thing I remember about them is just coming across a music video on youtube and being very comfused.

Guest Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Any doom metal fans in this fortress? I'm a huge fan of Celtic Frost, Conan, and Om/High on Fire/ Sleep. Its a refreshing alternative to a lot of what is going on in music these days. This is Sunn 0))) and I just found them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ashmedai Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I've managed to find a decent length melodeath playlist on youtube made by a channel called UnknownMelodeath. Hopefully there's some good ones some of you guys might like: 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Urishir Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the playlist, seems im going to end up buying something from soulglass found from that playlist, if they have anything for sale yet... Edit since this is last post here ill just edit to add something once upon a second hand store i noticed a cd, bought it for its cover and loved the music. Sadly i never found anything else by the band, i guess i just failed googling before (over 10 years ago) because today i found some information including youtube videos (band only made 1 album and there is atleast 1 other band with same name) I like the lyrics Edited January 30, 2019 by Urishir 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Piotrek Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 @Una Salus Victus I've been listening to the playlist you've posted. I may be just my luck, but many of the bands I've heard sound like they are heavily influenced by Wintesun/Ensiferum. An interesting exception: Spoiler @Ricki A new track by Valhalore: Spoiler 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
