I haven't visited /mu/ in 4 years, i felt compelled to return, as i got this album in a sharethread about 4 or 5 years ago. I only just got around to listening to it last night and damn, was I glad i finally did.
Getting a late 90's early 2000's Opeth vibe from some of the songs, but there's definitely more to it than that. Really good shit, thanks /mu/.

Every black metal chart is shit, watch the movie: Until the Light take Us. After that go for the classics, Darkthrone, Burzum, Mayhem, Emperor, Immortal, etc. And see which one you like the most, what do you like and what you don't like in black metal, like the use of synths, or lo-fi quality, or hi-fi, etc, black metal will slowly grow up in you.
>>49884882
Try these descriptors

And a sample

bm is irrelevant apart from post-black and newer stuff.
suss out lantlos, altar of plagues, hope drone, loss of self, bosse de nage, wreck and reference
>>49884938

especially torture chain and the black twillight circle stuff
Listening to this now, very good black metal with the old school sound.

>>49884920
The only metal I really listened to is some 80's thrash like Mercyful Fate, Suicidal Tendencies and Metallica. I also listen to some crust punk like Dystopia and Driller Killer. What recently got me more interested in metal was listening to Sunbather after seeing it all around /mu/ and listening to this track (http://thecomplaintregister.bandcamp.com/track/sleep-until-it-hurts-you) because I heard it was made by Lil Ugly Mane. So I'm looking for stuff with that kind of sound.
>>49885282
I'm just expecting more of the same, which means that naturally it'll be weaker. I have a fear that they're going to become stale and a one-trick pony pretty fast
>>49885278
So you mean that the quality of music with often unintelligible singing depends on the lyrics?
>>49885282
the first 3 minutes of the promo track were really brilliant, i have hope that it'll be great
>>49884696
I wish that the transitions were a little bit smoother throughout the song, but aside from that I really liked it, anon.
>>49885246
cause owl/birdcore is best
>>49885337
For Thrash, this chart has some flaws but it's good for the most part.
>tfw this will be their only album
>tfw too many bands in metal leave us with one fantastic album, and the dreams about what they could have done
>>49885385
And yet others make the same album ten times. I'm not sure what's worse.
>>49885339
>I'm just expecting more of the same
but the first half of Curator sounded nothing like Portal of I. i think they've expanded their sound a good deal.

Wasn't impressed by the promo track tbh. Hope it works better on context.

I've always been more of a Testament and Exodus man. Would prefer the Another Lesson in Violence live album for Exodus and The New Order for Testament, but eh.
Also, I've found every Overkill album (other than The Years of Decay, though I wasn't fond of that style either) since Feel the Fire derivative, not to mention done worse.
>>49885453
>>49885518
the genre itself has matured to a ridiculous level, thats why there is a lot of experimentation happening from outside artists. its the most important thing happening in modern music outside of experimental electronic .

>realise that their only good songs are always the first track on the album

>>49885282
Really unimpressed with the track titles on this album. Portal of I had the most brilliantly pretentious titles ever and this one just has pretty normal metal ones
>>49885453
>The Weak Shall Inherit My Debt
>Hurt Merchant
/pol/core at its finest.
>>49885629
the promo track is called "Painters of the Tempest part II: Triptych Lux, movement III: ‘Curator’ Elusive Reverence"
how is that not insanely proggy and pretentious
>>49885278
this is what's going to kill black metal, not a few hipsters sniffing around it. it was already spiritual because of the circumstances and heritage that went into creating it, stupid corpsepaint or not. getting all artfag about it and having esoteric religious lyrics now isn't going to bring it back
>>49885623
Usually the best, but the first three have plenty of other good songs as well, particularly Voice of Wilderness, which is just gold throughout.
Speaking of black, I started to get into Melechesh lately. I love the way they combine middle eastern music through the riffs and the drumming style. Sphynx is a great album.

yes it will be killed, but what will come from the ashes will be even better

My eyes.
>>49885695
I dunno, "Painters of the Tempest", "Reveries From the Stained Glass Womb", and "Devour Me, Colossus" are pretty awesome imo.
Portal of I has pretty much the best track titles ever, though, I agree. They make about zero sense but sound unbelievably awesome.
>>49885694
there's definitely something waiting to happen that'll have the 'spirit' of old black metal but it won't be more black metal with supposedly more 'deep n' serious' lyrics and some jazz or whatever. black metal as a genre now is in the same place as death metal, you can keep having fun with it and perfecting the formula forever but it's never going to throw up anything really unique again. I like a lot of this new stuff but I really don't see what's so significant and groundbreaking about it
>>49885781
I tried to ask them in their AMA if their lyrics mean anything or are random gibberish, but I got "Xen writes the lyrics, they probably mean something".
but seriously most of the lyrics are so nonsensical
Can anybody recommend some good stoner metal bands? I'm pretty new into the genre, and by far really loved Electric Wizard and Acid King.
>>49885811

because its the first music genre that has a serious dialogue about existentialism at its core. what is happening in bm atm is a huge reaction to the negative side of postmodernism. its the final ressurection of cathartic, expression based art, and the only thing we have left to deal with thematically is how we have nothing to deal with. it is important.

i think it's more meant to paint an overall aesthetic than to make any unbroken narrative sense, though it is clear that it concerns mortality and the inability of humans to understand the vast scope of the cosmos (see And Plague Flowers - the "flagellants/kings of our emptiness" depart with their mouths filled with questions, but return with their mouths filled with ashes and the questions unanswered). for the most part they're so hilariously pretentious that I don't bother making head nor tail of them, though they do elicit some cool mental images
"what waits beyond in exile's garden sings of the unknown/the renaissance of death echoes eternally, all's not lost" is a legit amazing lyrics, though, chills every time
>>49885837
I really love their lyrics. For example, those of APFTK. The part with "Kings of this carousel..." stunning imagery.
>>49885900
>>49885811
there is nothing else that artists could have taken hold of think about it -
blast beats etc create an almost trance like state in the listener, its almost spiritual. the vocals are unadultered emotion and the base gives heaps of freedom for experimentation. it was already starting to happen given the background it had in anti-religion in the 90s. once ou forsake a belief system the next logical progression is nihilistic tendencies and then what? it is a genre where everything has broken down and now its basically in a state of ego death - and people from outside the genre all over the world are starting to get involved.

>Come to /mu/ for a metal thread

Easily my favorite thrash album. The churning guitar tone blends into the relentless drumming, creating a sound like a pummeling wave of floodwater. If there were a way to blend thrash and doom, this kind of sound would be it, fast and technical riffs that blend into a massive homogenized sound. It's a shame the album doesn't have better production too, a lot of heaviness is lost in the guitar tone and it still manages to be heavy as fuck.

To the anon who commented on my chart in the old thread thusly:
>imo, you should listen:
>utumno - across the horizon
>cartilage/altar split
>detest - dorval
>crystal age - far beyond divine horizons
>wombbath - internal caustic torments
>brutality - screams of anguish
>convulse - world without god
>the cartilage side of the split is specially good. god damn
Thanks. I've got all of them except for Detest and Crystal Age. Prolly should have found a place for Brutality, and you're right about the Cartilage split.
>>49885673

>>49886710

>>49885673
I can't listen to Melechesh without wanting to listen to Absu instead :(
MYTHOLOGICAL OCCULT METAL
>>49886738
I listened to Tara and thought it was kind of boring and overly heavy, not middle-eastern sounding enough. Do I need to relisten or do they have better material or what
>>49886734
I'll hafta give them a listen later and see of I think the same thing.
>>49886801
I only said that because the drummer from Absu did drums for Melechesh for a little while. They're not really similar at all; Tara was more about Celtic mythology and shit anyway. Also...overly heavy? Wat.
>>49886814
most of the band members are the same, and it's a style of tech death with a ton of riffs flashing around, so the comparisons are natural
>>49886801
there's more middle eastern tonality in their s/t and on Abzu
This is a great fucking album, and I wish their recent stuff was as good.
Is there any symphonic black/death metal out there that's actually good? Not just an average choir or a few violins in the beginning of a couple songs? I'm thinking Epica-style orchestral additions but death and/or black metal added.

>>49887346
Modern thrash is too derivative, old thrash bands did the same thing but better.
>>49887346
Depends on how modern we're talking about. I thought this was cool. I like Sodom's recent material as well.
>>49887346
YES
>>49887368
The only thrash that does stuff better today is probably prog thrash and tech thrash
>>49887346

>>49887293
Sweet, I will. Thanks.

>>49887318
Moongod is 10 times better but Aeternam is great regardless. Waiting for a third album.
>>49887398
Are you talking about this?
>>49887346
Also, this was released in 2008 and I consider it one of the best crossoverish thrash albums.
>>49887420
Haven't heard Moongod. Are they similar?
>>49887436
Partly, yeah.
>>49884766
If you're into stoner shit too, Dopesmoker by Sleep, Hate Ashbury and Heroin by Bongripper and anything by Om may interest you.
>>49887420
Disciples of the Unseen has infinitely more replay value than Moongod
>>49887346
Are there any other old thrash bands still releasing good shit?
>>49887460
I feel Moongod is even more orchestrated than DotU, but it's one of the very few albums where every track is a gem in its own way. Be it straight up death (Xibalba, Invading Jerusalem) or slower and more melodic tunes (Iram Of The Pillars, Descent Of Gods), they do their work well and it's some of the best production I've ever heard.
>>49887398
hahahahahahahahah
There are, only a few new tech/prog thrash bands even in existence today, and none of them come close to the giants of the 80s and early 90s. u jokkin m8?
>>49887550
Interesting. I'll check it out.
>>49887576
Vektor is GOAT.
>>49887576
>There are only a few new tech/prog thrash bands even in existence today
>there are a few
Have you been living under a rock? There's been a bunch of spacey tech prog thrash since 2010 to the point it's getting ridiculous now.
>>49887632
lolno. Vektor and a few similar bands trying to do similar (Teleport, Exocosm, etc) does not mean much of anything compared to the glory days of techno-thrash.
>>49887625
There are literally dozens of tech-thrash albums from 1985 to 1993 that make Vektor their bitch.
>>49887549
Sodom,Barf,kreator,tankard,anonymus,voivod
There's also annhilator but they are really hit or miss so meh
>>49887632
well, there's reek, exocosm, paranorm, hexen, and exmortus i guess?? but like, look at this list
https://rateyourmusic.com/list/terraasymmetry/technical_thrash_metal__an_exhaustive_study__1984_present_/6/
look at the insane amount of stuff released in 91-93. there's nothing even close to that happening now. there's only a few prog thrash acts i can think of right now, even including obscure ones and shit that doesn't really count (e: revocation, which is just tech death basically)
>>49887665
I was just saying there's a lot more technical/prog thrash today than there is in the past, of course 80s and 90s tech/prog thrash is better with a few exceptions.
Agreed about Vektor though, Obliveon annihilates Vektor anyways and has been doing Vektor's sound almost two decades before Vektor was even a thing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lChCYQlxOjI
>>49887729
the new exmortus is barely even thrash, hexen's newest had some interesting bits but far from full-on prog/tech thrash, paranorm is decent but nothing special.

>>49887766
i got a ban warning for referring to Coil, a band that wrote numerous songs about male on male sex, as "fucking gay"
RYM is an incredibly stupid website.
>>49887741
No, there isn't. Coroner, Watchtower, Voivod, Mekong Delta, Aspid, Obliveon, DBC, Anacrusis, Annihilator, Depressive Age, Realm, Deathrow's Deception Ignored, Disciples of Power, Nasty Savage, Despair, I COULD KEEP GOING. All of those bands had fairly distinct sounds from each other and a good number easily surpass Vektor in terms of originality.
>>49887807
I got banned for literally no reason though, when I first came to /mu/ I clicked on a RYM link and it said I was banned lel.
>>49887823
A lot of thrash bands could surpass Vektor lel, they're not a bad band though, probably the best neo-thrash.
>>49887832
Are you at a college? Likely someone using your schools IP was banned.
>>49887859
Vektor has moments of greatness, but damn are they inconsistent with bringing the riffing. Too many simple melodic thrash riffs that sound like 90s Death knock-offs, and the songs sometimes get overlong like 90s Death as well.
>>49887897
Agreed, but you can't forget that Tetrastructural Minds is one of the greatest thrash metal songs of all time speaks a lot too.
>>49884510
Look up Regnum Moment Der Erlosung on youtube, my friend is the only person who has uploaded songs from that specific demo, it's some pleasant music.
>>49887920
*****Tetrastructural Minds BEING one of the greatest thrash metal songs of all time speaks a lot too
>>49887920
Wouldn't say GOAT, but it's one of Vektor's greatest at least. I'd take probably 30 Coroner songs over it still.
>>49887797
Please point me to the existence of a modern underground technical thrash scene on par with that which existed in the 90-93 period, where there were fucking tons of tech thrash bands everywhere you looked. I can count the number of active modern tech thrash projects on my hands and feet, even if you include bands which aren't active any more like Cautiva and Children, and old bands that are active like Mekong Delta
I mean, sure, Droid, Teleport, Alitor, Surrealist and Violent Omen are also around, but that's still nothing compared to the genre's heyday

>tfw there was an early 90s tech-thrash Surrealist better than the current one
>>49887967
Is there any tech thrash out there like Anacrusis' Screams and Whispers? I've heard Coroner, Voivod, Watchtower and Mekong Delta but I'm not a fan of any of them.
>>49887967
Quebec, Canada has a shitload of garage-tier progressive/technical thrash bands.
There's more prog/tech thrash bands today but it's a given fact that 80s-90s tech/prog thrash is the best in terms of quality.
>>49888026
Depends on what aspects of Screams & Whispers appeal to you. Depressive Age's first album doesn't really sound like it, per se, but it's a dark and emotional prog/thrash album that could appeal to the same mood.

Works for me, I'll check it out, thanks.
>>49888045
Did you even see the list of bands I posted? You are wrong. Admit it. The QUANTITY, as well as quality, of current tech/prog-thrash bands is lower than those of the 80s/90s.
Name some of this garage-tier bands, btw, I'm always on the lookout for promising up-and-comers.

>Quebec, Canada has a shitload of garage-tier progressive/technical thrash bands.
I know this, but a lot of them haven't put out a demo or EP.
>>49888026
try Depressive Age's first album, as well as Wolf Spider, Psychotic Waltz and Thought Industry
Anacrusis are among the more methodical and prog-oriented of the tech thrash bands, so look in that direction. Most of that stuff is more similar to Manic Impressions than it is to S&W admittedly, but it's worth a look.
>>49888136
Wrote them all down.
Is Inner Control one of the demo Quebecois bands you're talking about? This shit actually sounds kind of neat, very old-school but still wild, kinda Spectral Incursion-style.

>>49888176
It's honestly been a while since I listened to S&W so I can't be of too much help. What did you dislike about the other tech thrash you tried though? Too dissonant?
>>49888103
lel I live in Quebec man, almost everywhere there's bands who are living in the empty shell of Quebec's 80s-90s prog-thrash scene. They';re mostly shit but we're talking about quantity over quality here anyways.
Here's the only notable ones but they're mostly just voivod clones. Saw them live but can't find them anywhere on the internet
>Arachnophile
>Corpsemachine
>>49888251
I honestly can't recall as I haven't listened to it in a while either, but I think that was it. In general I prefer the melodious, atmospheric and/or emotional approach. I like the harsh aspects mostly for the contrast and increased potential for dynamics.
>>49888260
Quebec has a pretty good black metal scene though yea?
Forteresse
Monarque
Csejthe
Malefices
>>49888343
absolutely

>>49888392
Uggh, I know, fucking love that album.
>>49888297
Well, maybe hold off on it. Tech thrash is not a genre of music that is renowned for emotional impact. I do like the weird freaky atmospheres the bands conjure sometimes (Skeptic Sense's demo is particularly disorienting), though it might just be my love of sci-fi speaking there.
>>49888343
Quebec has a pretty decent metal scene except for those shitty melo death band
Here's some Quebecker bm that I saw live not so long ago
http://www.reverbnation.com/Nalzer
>>49888513
Eh, I felt that S&W was pretty emotionally laden, and Anacrusis, especially for the genre. I'd be happy to give the bands a shot at least, I can always turn it off if it's clearly not my thing.
>>49888549
Psychotic Waltz have really awesome atmosphere IMO, you should look into em first.
>>49888549
Check out Fear of God's Within the Veil if you haven't. It isn't remotely technical, but it's very dark and personal thrash metal stuff and a completely unique thrash record.
So Quebec's the only place where progressive thrash is still a thing?
>>49885899
Bongripper
Uncle Acide and the Deadbeats
>>49888687
>implying regional scenes are still a thing
>>49888687
Yeah, it's still alive but it's just living in the shadow of what it used to be, there's not really any "big" prog/thrash band from that area anymore, just a bunch of scattered garage bands.
>>49888580
>>49888591
Thanks dudes.
all this tech thrash talk makes me wonder why tech power metal isn't a thing
>>49887346
Yes. My personal favorite still playing band is Gama Bomb.
>>49888869
Well still playing thrash band
>>49888869
Gama Bomb is fucking awesome live. Saw them a few years back, one of the best shows I've been at and I didn't even like them that much on album.
I like this more than Nile
>>49888869
Link?
>>49888846
But it is.
>>49884379
okay i'm listening to this and trying to find something enjoyable out of it but this is fucking terrible.
do they have a better album?
>>49889139
point me to some bands
>>49889191
They've got very distinct styles. Check out Blood Fire Death for a good mix of both. If you like the black metal side more (e.g. tracks not A Fine Day to Die or the title tracks), go backwards. If you like the aforementioned tracks more, check out Hammerheart.
>>49889119
Here's a link to a stream of their newest album that came out just last year: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x104kan_gama-bomb-the-terror-tapes-full-album_music
>>49889194
Anything that's called "progressive power metal" or "neoclassical power metal".
>>49889348
I like how everyone's always more civilized when we're talking about genres that don't see as much in here. Wish it'd be like this all the time.
>>49888869
I've only heard Tales From The Grave In Space since it was free at some point years back and still really liked it, although the songs all kind of blended together since they have the same fast paced thrash feel. Any other albums of theirs worth checking out?
>>49889359
well i know that exists but i mean like a crossover between tech thrash technicality in riffs and song construction with the happiness and catchiness of power metal
most prog power metal doesn't have much in the way of actual riffs, just chugs over keyboard noodling, and the songwriting isn't too complex
Anybody into Carnifex? They're one of my tops right now.
>>49889511
14yo girl listen to that stuff.I just can't wait until that deathcore trend die just like metalcore did
>>49889579
>14yo girls
I don't think so. If you want to talk 14 year old girls, Sleeping With Sirens is more popular amongst that crowd.
>>49889511
I like how they tried to incorporate some bm into their latest one. Didn't work too well, but it was their best one I guess. Lyrics are sooo bad though. Too bad because Scott is a cool person and kills it live. Potential, but I doubt theyll use it.
>>49889470
I'm not entirely that well versed in them but it's always good to check out a band's newer stuff if they're still playing to see the direction they are going in. Posted a link to it here:
>>49889278
>>49889511
Carnifex is awesome, but it is true that little girls like them.
>>49887155
The only track that I really liked from Babylon was Cthulhu
>>49889511
>Carnifex
Are the Tyranids invading? Well, we'll see about that.
>>49889657
No I actually knew some girl that listened to them around 14-15 that's why I was saying that
>>49889749
Did you show her true good death metal and then bang her?
>>49889749
Oh shit. But still.
>>49889786
She was my gf for 1 week or something when I was 14 but I was too shy and it failed hard but I was a poser at that age so no I didn't show her the true power of metal
Sadly carnifex is one of the better core bands. I can stand it. I guess. Eh. Not as shitty as like attila or chelsea grin. At slaughter fest this year thy art is murder actually tore it up. So idk. Some core bands have potential but limit themselves with boring breakdowns and such.
>>49889786
>yfw countless teenage girls are listening to Suicide Silence and burning out on heavy music and will never acquire a taste for post folk doom sludge
>>49890112
>tfw known this for at least 8 years
I mean a lot of people my age that listen to metal go through a year longish "core phase" god knows i did.but after a while breakdowns get boring and real music takes,hold and turns you into a real, diverse, open minded metalhead. Btw im 18 core phase when i was 15 lol
A lesser known band from California, seen them a bit on /mu/ Technical death/thrash
hemotoxin70.bandcamp.com
So I'm listening to the new Goatwhore... eh, sounds pretty average to me. Nice cover art lied to me.
>>49890404
Yeah I might hate metal/deahcore more than anything else but I had a nu metal phase when I was younger which is pretty much the same.It just piss me off when those corefag say that they listen to metal cause I don't want to get labaled with them
>>49889511
Suicide Silence is better
>>49889786
I did this one time. Invited a girl over to listen to some records I bought, we ended up fucking and it turns out she was a virgin, stained my floor red but it was the most brutally metal thing I've ever done. \m/
orthodox bm a shit
sky got this for me, i remember last thread someone was saying all their stuff is low qual everywhere so i thought id post it here too

new album wasnt there, say thanks to him anyways next time you see him
>>49887346
I do. I get sick of the hipsters who cry about things not being original. I don't give a fuck. Originality is great but if something sounds good it sounds good.
Check out Battalion (Switzerland) for some awesome new thrash. Nothing original about it but it fuckin smokes.
>>49887725
The latest Annihilator rules, I will fight you
>>49890491
I agree. I mean core and nu metal is garbage but if its a gateway drug for real goid metal music then fuck it. I wont listen but ill coerse corefags into loving actual metal.
>>49885385
Dude they reformed under another name i saw them last year they kicked arse
>>49887380
disappointing album but still good
hope their next one sounds more like time is up

This is overrated.
