/metal/

But does it slam

post good albums of 2016

don't like how often the vocals are 'echoed' like that

riffs are on point tho, p good

some quality grind comin thru

As always, I'll wait for you to start.

>blocked in my country
Reee

What's the metal scene like where you live?

Thanks.

i live in south mississppi
that should say enough

it goes on for the whole track
make it stop

Good, I live in new jersey, so I can easily go to metal gigs in both philly and nyc and we have some decent locals

Raw BM and Scene mostly , some literal lanky Atmofags, Rare Speed/OSDM oldfags and the Power/Thrash Metal dudes.
The two latter are the most civil while the Raw BM types being edgy assholes mostly as a "bantz" thing, some are legit assholes.
I don't want to get near the scene people, they give me the creeps and the hair product fumes make my eyes tear.

Toronto here.

Not terrible but surprisingly shitty, and full of grindcore and black metal. I make as many trips to Quebec or Montreal shows as I can.

back in the 90s there was some decent crust and black
now its all saturated by incredibly boring and generic sludge bands

Jersey here too.

I live in some random town in the middle of nowhere in latin america, people only listen to thrash, black thrash, war metal and OSDM without exception.

youtube.com/watch?v=dUm5wXdFgv0

>What's the metal scene like where you live?
djent bullshit and teenagers who have to ask if whitechapel is screamo or not

Montreal, it's lively but the black metal scene is absolutely incredible. Lots of second-wave worship with a lot of bands from Quebec city coming down to play

pic related was a festival last year

i know only lifelover

not even satanic warmaster? also bolzer and blacklodge are memed on /metal/ a decent amount

>still no leak

akitsa blows
and is that mare?

akitsa is cool

whatever

nah ondskapt

and yeah, akitsa fucked up during their set and had to start a few songs over

forteresse are the best of the OG quebec bands desu

are the Acid Bath demos any good?

Nahhhh

RACE CHOSEN AND BELOVED BY GOD

Pretty healthy scene up in RI, fair amount of good bands and a couple good local venues in Prov to play in.

Can someone explain the black metal scream to me? Whether I love or hate the album I can never understand how it fits in. Help me "get it"

>tfw the memes catch up with you

they ripped jason off so hard in this video

Remind me why we hate Gojira again?

What are you talking about? We cucks love Gojira! It's essential cuck metal.

pot what age you got into metal and the first metal album you bought

13

Pretentious Machine Head

Nah

17. Still one of my favorite albums to date.

Use the same tempo for every song we ever make: the band

give me some entry level slam

So, any recommendations of a 2016 black metal album that uses a lot (or at least some amount) of clean vocals? (pls no Alcest)

Are you new to the hacker known as Cred Forums? Anything remotely popular is picked apart in the most banal, petty ways possible and your opinion is shit

My band just released our first album. I've posted it in metal general a few times, but it always seems to be as the thread is dying.

Earthshine - Doomed to wander and never die
>Doom metal
earthshinedoom.bandcamp.com/releases

Free because my band and paypal are retarded.

Band who's been continuously dumbing down their sound with every release is now being praised for being forward thinking and new despite having just released their most bland and uninteresting album thus far because metal has recently become the new hip thing to "secretly" enjoy among normies and now anything that's deemed as "different" metal is unquestionably the greatest thing mankind has ever touched.

TL;DR They released a shitty album but everyone's hyped cause listening to them makes you cool now. I blame the hipsters.

15

really good stuff

Meant *bank* is retarded, but the original post is probably true anyway.

going to any shows any time soon in nj?

Devourment - Butcher The Weak (2006 version)
Katalepsy - Autopsychosis
The Anomalies of Artificial Origin
Abominable Putridity - The Anomalies of Artificial Origin

and if you will like those then go to Extermination Dismemberment - Serial Urbicide for maximum bulldozing slammige

15

dunno why I wrote The Anomalies of Artificial Origin twice, maybe because its that mandatory.

yo where my rawbros at
this tape fucking sucks

Did you expect them to follow terra incognito exactly? At least they didnt release a ton of the same shit over and over

leave the hall, poser

They released different kinds of shit. And got progressively shittier.

Almost like they're experimenting with sounding shitty.

16

dont know exactly, but in a very young age

and it was either this or Bloodthirst

yea no
at least lln were onto something when they released acoustic stuff
that guy just looped a handful of track titles

No I didn't expect them to follow terra incognito, what I'm saying is that they had a good thing going and either purposefully shitted it up with bland forgettable material or just completely lost their sense of writing good gojira songs. They haven't changed their sound or tried anything new so they're still on the track of releasing the same shit over and over, just that the further we go, the shittier and blander it gets.

I'd rather they release the same shit over and over again and have it be good shit over and over than try to change things up honestly. Their latest is not good, L'enfant was alright at times but their latest is just bad. That's not a direction you should be cheering for.

7

From Chicago so mostly hipstery doom. Bongripper is GOAT though.
Lots of good bands come through here though.

From Mars to Sirius and Magma have totally different tones than terra incognito to me

like 11 maybe
This is the first album I ever actually bought, but the bands that got me in to metal where much more embarrassing

ICH HABE KEINE LUST

Im retarded

...

Horrendus anerta is good shit

>DSO

delet this

Really good shit, loving the vocals, sounds like what I imagine Death would be like today if Chuck was still alive

>He fell for the DsO is shit meme

pls kys DsO is a great band and especially that EP

>especially that EP
wew lad
I bet you think Paracletus is a good album

I still unironically love them

RIP

if you don't at least like pic related unironically stop posting

just fuck off contrarian

good post

...

How's it contrarian? Only the pitchfork drones and other hipsters think Paracletus is good. Them and Phil Anselmo.

oh so you're just shitposting. carry on

First I'm contrarian, then I'm shitposting,

Seems like you'll do anything accept actually try and argue for that EPs quality.

I like Oh Joy Sextoy but what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

>TAKE...
>THESE BROKEN WINGS

The absolute madman, he destroyed my sides

anyone got a mega link for new darkthrone?

metal is dead literally everywhere

Metal died in 1993. Only 12 good albums have been released since then (most of them in 1994, being already recorded by 1993). Metal achieved its creative peak in albums like Onward to Golgotha, Pure Holocaust, and The Red in the Sky is Ours, elevating the genre into a legitimate art form. Now, thanks to Slaughter of the Soul and Gojira, all its potential was squandered and the genre has been reduced into being mere gimmick ridden noise for drunk idiots (i.e. the lowest common denominator - stop trying to turn underground metal into AC/DC).

>this pasta again

metal is dead in White counties

Like, 7.

TAKE... THESE BROKEN WINGS.

Probably 10.
My taste got better.

It's also probably their second best album anyway. Granted, it's not good. Even after all this time, I still get a little pumped when I hear the intro transition into the main song.

11

A literal graveyard.

10-11 I think, might have been Number of the Beast

I hit all the usual dad metal as a kid, only when I was 14 did I start getting deeper into all the sub-genres.

I also absolutely love this album, I can listen to the whole thing front to back any day.

What're some top tier /autumn/-core albums?

It's supposed to be chilly tomorrow and I'm looking to feel frostbitten and such.

I've never really listened to Agalloch, but I loved Giant Squid.

Ima give this a listen seems promising from first song so far

I'm eagerly waiting a release

Shit wish I found that at 16, good one user

>tfw unironically enjoy Soilwork's last album

>tfw Graveland is headlining next year

How is Graveland even allow to enter the country of cucks?

>There exists an alternate universe where White Zombie never broke up

There will be riots when some shithole like Metalinjection informs everyone Graveland is racist and evil.

I wear my Graveland shirt to shows all the damn time and no one gave me a shit. Be white and proud m8

Going to see Ghostbath on Friday, pretty psyched. Anyone in here seen them live before?

Well it's not like wearing a Burzum shirt gets you shit either. If it was like Aryan Terrorism or Kristallnacht, maybe.

>Be white and proud m8
Done and done m80

nooooo. i was really hoping it would be a good as circle the wagons

Except Graveland has actual ties to WP movement

This is the best metal album of the year by a long shot
Not even kidding

they are good boys

Speaking of Graveland, I'm checking this album out and it seems to have some influence from said band. Pretty solid pagan bm with only minimal silliness. Pity there isn't more great Hungarian metal besides Tormentor and Pokolgep.

literally no one in real gives a shit about nsbm band merch unless it has a swastika on it or a picture of a minority being curb stomped or something

no one even knows about Burzum, let alone that Varg has recently made yt videos praising the existence of some borders

Well at most people know Varg fucken killed a guy. I doubt they'd even take his racism seriously if they also perused his beliefs on nazi UFOs and LARPing or whatever else he's into these days.

What's so NS about Graveland anyway, it's not like he explicitly talk about (((them)))

13. I still think it's good

Is this the pinnacle of LLN?

Finally, I've been shilling this album since it came out.

What's your favourite track senpai

kex

1/3 shitty dad-rock
1/3 shitty metalcore
1/3 pretentious indie groups

Go to college in Baltimore, a good amount of death and grind here. From NYC though, and well I don't need to say that.

This.

1 groove metal band
thats it
The biggest metal shows weve had in the last 2 years are red fang, their show was last year and I didn't hear about it until this year, and prong who I saw and got shit faced at

Hipster as fuck I know, but fuck it I love it.

Any particularly quality releases this year from particularly sludge/grind bands?

I thought subrosa and cult of luna's new albums were both ok.

whoops

Winterbane is cool as fuck

Tell me about Winterbane

Why does he wear the facepaint?

Sheboygan, WI here. Home of pic related. And that's about it.

so are we not supposed to talk about the Opeth leak?

There's a deathcore band I haven't bothered listening to, one menial melodeath band called Enslave the Masses, and another one called Besegra which was pretty good, albeit i'm pretty sure they're split up now.

Well...we got

GWAR
Lamb Of God
Municipal Waste (not anymore)
Cannabis Corpse
Iron Reagan

in terms of bands you guys do know, and then a string of boring metal bands that don't really do anything too well. There's probably some high school scene kid shit somewhere in here, too since that's EVERYWHERE, but I am not really in high school anymore so I haven't seen it around.

Oh great, that's exactly what the metal scene needed. And old ass band releasing an album that's consisting of music that's even older than the band. Yup lets keep up this derivative train of crap that metal has become! This time around another edition of a formerly groundbreaking band making the most derivative thing possible by them.

Melbourne Aus. Decent doom and grind

what do you think of the new allegaeon?

link?

epitaphs by obscure sphinx

This fucking video

youtube.com/watch?v=8MXAyVpOI_Y

I don't even like Marduk, but...

Just finished Arctic thunder, was pretty good.

Some parts remind me of hell hammer with the drum style and tempo, one track has some really good high pitch riff, reminds me of destroyer. the vocals are pretty interesting.

also the weakest track in the album is the album named track lol...

if you read the description of the album on the label's page it describes it as An eclectic mix of free-spirited 80’s fuelled blackened heavy metal

the overall tone of the music seems a bit too upbeat, or maybe its just a more neutral tone.

I give it 4 sets of horns and 1 middle finger out of 10.

\m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ nln

k-keep me posted

kek

nice trips

I do everything except the drums, my brother plays them.

Shitty dadmetal
Our ''metalheads'' only listen to Metallica, Manowar, Iron Maiden, Megadeth and unironically AC/DC. You won't see anything other than these 5 bands being played at metal bars

praise kek

nsbm, thrash metal, grind
all pretty shitty except for a couple of avant grade bm bands

Dark Millenium apparently releasing an album on October 14th.
Why has no one mentioned this?

Also they look like utter faggots now.

This is an underrated death metal album.

say something nice about it.

15. This was the first full album. Very slowly got into the sub genres, they're many and they're diverse so its taken years to train my ear to appreciate all of them.

what a strange intro to metal, tell me are you a pretentious individual with a narrow appreciation of the genre?

IT'S HERE LADS

at least that's what worked for me

I was 16 when I first bought Vargavinter - Frostfodd. That was in 1996.
I had listened to a lot of punk and hardcore before that so was a natural step for me getting in to black metal.

Pic related. Awesome record.

oh fugg

Is marylin manson's antichrist superstar considered metal?

sheeeeeeeeeeeit

I got into metal only 3 years ago when I was 18
I don't think I own any metal albums

Where goes the line between Stoner Rock (bands like Nebula, Kyuss and Fu Manchu) and Metal?
At what point can one be considered former and when the latter.

Kyuss is metal though
QOTSA are not

At Melvins.

But Melvins has done so many genres.

If it's metallier than Melvins it's metal. If it's not it's Stoner Rock.

I like how Metallum lists Melvins' genre just as 'various'

There's a bunch of bands on metallum that are literally just labelled various, like boris too.

what was groundbreaking about darkthrone ever? not that i dont like them, but still

Keke just found this in recommended videos
youtube.com/watch?v=JuxKCwd41VU

come on man
they pioneered the cold feel that black metal has
Not to mention the stripped down playing in Transylvanian Hunger inspired many bands that aimed for the more "lo-fi" style of black metal.
I can understand not liking them, but they were pretty groundbreaking when they began making music.
>soulside journey dont exits

If you can trust Wikipedia with genres, there's Sludge, Doom, Stoner Rock, Drone Metal, Noise Rock, Experimental Rock, Alt-Metal and HC Punk listed for Melvins.

Buzzos hair is odd as hell though.

Ignorant american pig, eastern europe only has nsbm

It's nice desu

both the cold style AND the riffs were from other bands. their black metal stuff was either 80s worship or inspired by mayhem and burzum. you could make the argument that they helped popularize the sound but they never did anything first

i still like darkthrone though

Portland?

the production (or lack thereof) of transylvanian hunger was something that hadn't been done before though.You can at least admit that.
Or maybe you can point me out to bands that did the sound we can hear on that album, so I can learn them.

What does Cred Forums think of slightly core progressive metal? Like this for instance:

youtube.com/playlist?list=PLx00r_dIOFRiJ-of8_X5h7HoRvO_69O28

I can tell from the cover it's shit

Sounds like a shittier periphery

The cover looks like Born of Osiris rip off

oh you mean like literally almost everyone? just face it, you're being contrarian fag

>that cover
not clicking that link nigga, i can already feel the shuggah.

I dont think theres a genre that produces worse cover art. At least something like powe metal art has a sort of cheesy charm to it. Whereas that crap is just offensively bland and unevocative of anything. Although I guess that fits the music.

that specific sound, on that one album? sure they may have been the first to do that. but super raw production was nothing new as im sure you know

who knwos though, they listened to tons of music and may have got that sound from someone that ive never heard

was burzum the first band to have long ambient tracks on a black metal album?

will this be the next big meme on /metal/?

just listened to an interview and it's definitely not the band's decision to split it into parts (on the CD it probably isn't even split)

Why can prog get away with these covers?

>implying we will care about another chugcore wankery

"djent" is not prog

Did they delete the links on dark world? Where do you download your metal from?

...

Oh, sorry, I'm retarded. Thanks.

So you're saying you're 16?

14

>forward thinking metal

7

And if you don't count this (and other main-stream or not really metal albums), then at 14 I bought the latest Burzum (at the time)

what is the best Insomnium album lads?

Can somebody recommend me some god tier old school European death metal albums like pic related?

I don't really like American death metal, I believe European is far superior

CT its soso. Golden era was 04-06 when Arby's was booking all the big bands to play VFW halls. Best shows ever

13. got this shit at FYE

It might have been 8. I'm 20.

if it ain't The Link it's shit

This album is so much better and groovier if you listen to it at 1,5 of its speed
youtube.com/watch?v=pd8J3q4C87g

What are some other albums where this happens ?

They want to appeal to different masses now with their embraced ways of american/western thinking. The european touch they had is now gone, and while the that change alone might be enough to temporarily appear as "forward thinking", its just shit.

onward to part 4:

>its a Shitty guitarist still thinks he can clean sing episode

>>>/blogspot/

it's not even dumbing down their sound
the writing on Magma is pure shit, there's tension leading to nowhere, releases out of nowhere, there's no sense of consistency between each song, even if you approach the album with an "oh it's not that bad if it's not very metal" attitude, it's shit.

>clean vocals
>slower than the other releases
>drumming is more simple
>"atmospheric" moments
they just casualised their music, it's not even about "american/western thinking", they've been doing ecologic shit from the beginning

lol, you're right
I never got the praise for this album

It's definitely simplified and casualized but I am talking about the reasoning behind it.

This leaked not too long ago, anyone who is into Opeth Pre-Heritage is going to be very butt hurt.

me neither until I listened to it at this way, it's fucking great

the first half sounds like opeth wanted to be ghost

anyone who is into opeth pre-heritage is already butthurt m8

check out pic related

i also like this a lot, maybe not that old school though youtube.com/watch?v=bTaOi1JtQvY

I miss the old guitar player. I know he didnt write all that much but he apparently kept the others in check. Because oh boy did they turn to shit.

Both are equally good, but the good european bands are far more obscure than the good american ones

Note for note, riff for riff, album for album..still better than 85% of the metal albums out there.

2 tracks in and I'm really liking it.

I'll talk about it. It's worse than Pale Communion and might even be worse than Heritage.

they have fallen so incredibly far it's depressing. probably one of the worst bands out right now

are DsO's drums programmed? I've been making some songs using Drumkit From Hell and tweaking around some settings it's becoming more and more apparent that either DsO's layout is identical to the one Toontrack used for the plugin or they are using artificial drums

They apparently have a drummer, but it's hard to believe desu

This new Opeth album is legitimately boring.

How/why/what compelled them to make boring 70's prog rock cover songs?

How can something turn to shit so easily?? Is this what happens when you grow old?

3-4 BM bands with alot of overlapping members since it's a small town. A few indie rock bands too. There used to be a really good hardcore scene 7-8 years ago, but it's dead now. Most of the hardcore guys now play in the indie bands.

very fast blast beat at incredibel hihg speed

I'm assuming you're from Richmond then.

I think the metal scene here is pretty healthy, I just avoid the shitty pop punk/screamo which is big here, but besides that there's some pretty nasty death metal concerts that are fun to go to.

Also GWAR is worshipped like actual gods here.

Taake, Wolves In The Throne Room, Enslaved.
