>tfw NBBMN is over edition
Old thread: >>60717958
So, since /NBBMN/ is over, how is /metal/ nowadays ? Is it still a non-stop maymays flood ?
>>60732052
Apparently they talk about djent now. So... just as bad as before.
recommend some maymay-metal
>>60732057
W-well, at least Djent is Metal so that's always a good thing, right? At least it isn't JUST memes and shitposting, r-right?
>>60732052
/metal/ always goes to shit in november because the elitists keeping it from going to shit/mainstream move to NBBMN
It's been Djent, buttprog, and melodeath.
I don't mind most of /metal/'s maymays save for fear factory or devin townsend
>>60732037
there is LITERALLY nothing worthwhile in metal outside of black or prog
Not saying all black and prog is good (on the contrary a lot is terrible), but outside of it great albums are only really one or two per subgenre.
PS if you don't like black metal you're either a MASSIVE SEETHING pleb or you're listening to the wrong shit
>>60732077
Correction: /Metal/ went to shit and has been shit since summer.
>>60732090
It gets worse in November.
>>60732076
did i hear anyone say JUST?
>>60732100
>It gets worse in November
This is the truth. Pic related.
>>60732089
Nah, black is shit and has the least ammount of good bands out of any metal sub-genre save for maybe nu-metal, I know in replying to b8 though
>>60732057
It's always a relief to know that tripfags are the worst posters
posting the best meme I saw this november for the NBBMN kiddies who missed it.
>>60732111
5/5, made me kek pretty hard. Nice trips too.
>>60732090
I wonder why? I know, because all you ever talk about is black metal, and people are tired of that shit.
>>60732148
>people are tired of that shit
Considering the popularity of NBBMN that's not true.
/metal/ doesn't circlejerk just black metal senpai, we delve in prog, thrash, doom and power metal all the time.
>>60732089
without Thrash and Death Metal you wouldn't even have Black or Prog
Thrash and Death are the most influential genres as Grindcore, Gothic, Industrial, Crossover, Avantgarde, Doom, Technical, Prog, Black among other genres not only take a lot from Thrash/Death, but also because Death Metal bands pioneered some of the genres, like Paradise Lost, Carcass, Morbid Angel, Deicide, etc.
>>60732167
>power metal
Not really senpai, it seems most people here hate power metal, which is a shame because PM is really good stuff.
>>60732167
Djent is popular too, does it mean it's good?
Black Metal is popular because it's cancer, like Death Grips
>>60732179
Thats b8 you're replying though, death metal is my favourite sub-genre of all music, but being influential doesnt equal being good
>>60732119
if it's all it takes for you fags to fuck off, I would gladly start shitposting in this vein.
>>60732207
This tb.h, bring on the furyo styles
>>60732181
>it seems most people here hate power metal
You haven't lurked much, have you? power metal circlejerk happens all the time, it happens even more outside of november, ironically enough.
black metal friends have a boner for it.
also Blind Guardian, Galneryus, Lost Horizon, and Twilight Force are all power metal bands that /metal/ discuss a lot
X-Japan, early Helloween and a few other power metal bands get love here too
>>60732190
Since when did I say popularity makes something good? I was saying that you're wrong about people being sick of black metal because NBBMN is still very popular.
>>60732200
If something is influential it's mainly because it's good. Otherwise it wouldn't be influential.
>>60732211
>bring on the furyo styles
I participated in NBBMN and the first album I listened to today was Welcame. I had been missing that album so much. I'm not even ashamed to admit that ROTNS is one of my favorites.
>>60732213
So you agree that NBBMN is cancer and it's horrible then?
>>60732077
>not liking based Devy

>/metal/ dislikes power metal
When did this meme fucking start? /metal/ has a boner for power metal, especially jap power/visual kei
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOaNwi_2M8o
>>60732077
God forbid there's actual variety and not the same albums circlejerked over and over
Is there any monster girl-themed metal out there?
>>60732254
God Forbid is a decent band.
>>60732243
No, NBBMN isn't cancer. Ironically enough while /metal/ was memeing and shitposting and circlejerking pop djent/pop melodeath albums, NBBMN was exploring newer black metal and discussing new releases and exploring things they haven't heard before.
Black metalfags on /mu/ are the most productive /metal/fags on /mu/. you guys had an entire thread spamming devin townsend lyrics
>>60732254
That's actually what happened the entire november in /metal/, not /nbbmn/.
>>60732119
My Paradise Lost post seems kinda out of place there
>>60732265
That some nice delusions. But bmfags are known to be schizophrenic
Btw, do you fags still consider moshpits / pogo cancer? You folks are literally the definition of no-fun, stick-in-the-ass elitist douches.

What's funny is that some of the most discussed black metal bands are fun as hell and most of the fun /metal/ culture is built around black metal jokes and memes, senpai
Black metalfags aren't leaving, we've been in /metal/ since its inception.
>>60732309
>as long as it's black metal
Who implied this? when NBBMN is over, black metalfags discuss variety in death, thrash, and power.
All you fags have been doing was circlejerking devin townsend or posting critically acclaimed albums everybodys' heard. That's not really variety.

instead some fags actually tried to wind up the atmoriffs meme in /nbbmn/ threads
not only november was nothing but shitposting for /metal/ but you were shitposting so hard it couldn't even be contained in a single thread
>>60732368
>listening to BM post-2000

also thanks for posting the biggest idiot of metal
Darkthrone is the epitome of everything that was wrong with BM
>>60732362
Now it's djent kiddies who feel at home because they've been here for a month vs black metal fags who've been here for years.
Get this fucking boogeyman out of your head you retarded fuck, I doubt anybody here listens exclusively to black metal.
There was a dip in a lot of the other non-black metal bands/genres /metal/ enjoys because most of /metal/ moved to NBBMN, which is proof enough we don't listen exclusively to black metal
>>60732392
>>60732343
>All you fags have been doing was circlejerking or posting critically acclaimed albums everybodys' heard.
Yeah and during other months this general is filled with Burzum, Mayhem, Sigh, DsO, Gorguts, VBE and Vektor circlejerking
Whos /back to /meal// here?

I bet your favorite BM band is Ved Buens Ende you fucking faggot

So now that /nbbmn/ is over can discuss power metal again instead of buttprog, djent and melodeath? There was less power metal posting in November because all of the power metalfags were doing NBBMN
>>60732343
There was actually one pretty good thread where some people and dmshareguy tried to share deathcore and make a chart
Yeah it was deathcore, but it was interesting

>>60732482
>tfw been on /mu/ almost 8 years now
>>60732468
just another elitist term, like blackgaze
>>60732468
Buttprog is anything qualified as "prog" that came after the 70's that is not slightly avant-garde or experimental.
>>60732481
>not knowing what butt___ means
It's a retarded meme and basically means "bands from a certain genrethat I don't like "
>>60732482
I know the history of /mu/. The early years was mostly power and prog. Cancerous indiefags came and scared most of them off, the few remaining metalfags were thrash, death, and black metalfags with some prog and power left.
/metal/ general as its own thing is only 2 years old. Prior to 2013 we didn't have /metal/ general, we just had multiple "METAL THREAD"/"BEST ___METAL ALBUM?". /metal/ general's always had black metalfags with a bunch of prog, death, thrash, and powerfags thrown in.
>>60732501
Blackgaze isn't elitist, it's just a subgenre of black metal.
>>60732519
An imaginary genre for indiefags who want to be kvlt by listening to BM.
Name a single good or relevant "melodic heavy metal" band.
>>60732501
blackgaze is actually a thing tho
"post-black" would be the elitist term
>>60732468
Buttprog is mostly referred to shitty "prog" metal bands that aren't progressive.
There's a large irony in prog metal that the majority of progressive metal isn't progressive, and that the majority are copying bands before.
The majority of djent for this reason is buttprog because they're not progressive or trying something new, plenty of them just copy meshuggah or tesseract.
Buttprog isn't synonymous with bad. It's just what you call phony "progressive" bands.
Prog metal better describes avant-garde metal bands. Avant-garde metal is a shit term since if you can classify it as metal, it's not avant-garde.
>>60732527
>post-black
I dunno, the more "post-black" releases the more they do seem to actually fit the label. Look at Teethed Glory and Injury. I can think of little else to describe that but "post-black".
>>60732527
Post-Black also was a thing. 10 years ago, but it was
>>60732524
Burzum isn't blackgaze.
>>60732526
Iron maiden
>>60732541
>Avant-garde metal is a shit term since if you can classify it as metal, it's not avant-garde
What about the band... Hybernoid?
The fit the Avant-garde metal tag perfectly.
>>60732527
Post-black is a very loose term. in the 90s, post-black referred to stuff like master's hammer, ved buens ende, sigh and arcturus.
>>60732568
Do you know what avant-garde even means? If it can already be grouped with an existing genre, it isn't avant-garde. Avantgarde metal was coined by retards who want to be special.
Hybernoid is proper prog metal.
>>60732559
True, it's meme metal instead
It depresses me that I used to listen to Burzum when I was younger, before the internet era. If I knew that it was a band associated with edgy teenagers, I would never listened to it.
>>60732556
it's still more or less of an umbrella term for unidentifiable atmoshit or avant-black though
>>60732580
Then there is no Avant-garde Jazz, Rock either?
>>60732543
i should really check that album out
>>60732596
Avant-garde jazz isn't proper avant-garde. You could call it progressive jazz
It's the accepted term but by actual definition it isn't avantgarde. Using avant-garde jazz is easier since it's the accepted term, though.
Avant-rock is generally just art rock or prog rock.
>>60732614
It's an interesting opinion, you know?
Feel free to shill it in various threads, because I like this idea.
Mirai put it perfectly.
"We are not avant-garde by any means. Using different instruments or playing music seen to most as strange isn't avantgarde.. AC/DC used a bagpipe, are they avant-garde?"
post Masterpiece
>>60732502
>>60732541
You guys clearly don't know what the term progressive means, but that's normal, no one here knows the difference between progressive, experimental and Avant-garde
You are that kind of idiots who shit on Steven Wilson for not being "weird and progressive " enough even though he didn't choose the label for himself
Is it possible for an avant-garde band to have one dominating genre in their sound?
>>60732614
>prog rock
no, "prog rock" doesn't mean just unconventional rock, it's an actual style with some guidelines.
1- No blues as structural basis for rock songs.
2 - Classical music or jazz take its place instead, but also folk comes up every now and then.
3 - Long songs yes, but with an indentifiable structure, not just long because we feel like jammin a little longer
4 - Lucidity and a clear sense of melody.
It goes without saying that by this definition neither Pink Floyd nor the krautrock movement (which isn't even a genre per se) are prog rock, they just happened to be 70s unconventional rock bands
>>60732692
Pink Floyd isn't prog based primarily on the first condition you listed, but why does blues not qualify as a progressive style?
>>60732652
>shill it
The opinion's been floating around on /metal/ for years.
People still say avantgarde metal because it's easier to understand instead of having to explain to newfags that avantgarde metal isn't truly avantgarde.
>>60732656
Literally what are you trying to imply?
To be progressive means you have to push boundaries in your specific genre. The vast majority of bands in prog metal aren't progressive because they're copying styles of older, truly progressive metal bands.
To be avantgarde means you have to push boundaries in music in general. If you can be easily lumped in with another genre, you're not avantgarde. you're progressive.
>>60732676
No, because if they have a dominant genre, they're not avantgarde, they're progressive in that dominant genre.
>>60732692
Prog just means to be truly progressive/innovative in your genre at the time.
There's not really a specific guideline or sound to be prog. That's why prog rock bands at one side of the spectrum are completely different from prog rock bands at the other side.
>>60732541
I love prog and I definitely have above average knowledge in the genre (I made modern prog chart with dmshareguy), and I would love to talk about it here, but most people only talk about Vektor, MotW/KD, Sigh, Opeth and sometimes Leprous or they mock Dream Theater and their clones
>>60732581
>If I knew that it was a band associated with edgy teenagers, I would never listened to it.
Excuse me but isn't that supposed to be the epitome of "being a poser"?
>>60732541
>There's a large irony in prog metal that the majority of progressive metal isn't progressive
That's like complaining black metal bands aren't dressed in black anymore
Anyone else listened to pic related? I'm currently halfway through it and I'm liking what I'm hearing. It's actually better than I thought. The first two songs have so far been the weakest and were a little bit disappointing but everything else has been great. I especially like Let Yourself Go and NIB. Wasn't expecting an Elvis cover to be that good.
>>60732730
No. It's the epitome of "not wanting to be lumped with posers"
>>60732728
To be fair, it's to be expected. Communities discuss what they like, and things that more people like get discussed more. It's unfortunate that Vektor, Voivod, Fates Warning MoTW/KD, Sigh, Opeth and Leprous get discussed more than other bands but that's the way music communities work.
people like to discuss things they all know and can discuss with other people immediately, and then explore things on their own most of the time. It's hard to discuss niche prog metal bands that barely anybody knows about.

Danzig released another album? Hm, he doesn't get tired isn't he? I didn't listen to it, but I guess that it's the collection of some rehashes from previous albums. I think that I'll stick with the classics.
How hard did you failed at NBBMN? I failed so hard that I can't even
>>60732757
>caring what others think
Look at this poser faggot.
>>60732710
Because rock music before prog-rock came along was inherently a blues-based music. just take a look a the chord structures in most songs in the sixties. That was the "progression" that prog rock brought.
>>60732726
>Prog just means to be truly progressive/innovative in your genre at the time
nah, that's the Progarchives definition and it reduces the term nothing but an umbrella term, virtually indistinguishable from avant- or art-
>>60732454
Best thread in ages, sulphur sun, gaijin, winter bestowed, descend into nothingness, vomiting corpses, excoriation, eye of minerva are so good
>>60732769
Masterpiece of Bitterness is AOTY 2005, and it's not like he was absent for it
their recent stuff like Otta/Black Sand was weak and I feel that their material will only begin to suffer more as a result of its chart success
I tend not to believe everything I read regardless
>>60732726
>To be progressive means you have to push boundaries in your specific genre
No it means using non standard song structures or time signatures
>>60732783
I didn't even try, t b h
>>60732782

>How hard did you failed at NBBMN?

>>60732801
Maybe it's better that way. At least he is ripping off others rather than himself. I like Danzig, but somewhere after 8th album I realized that I only liked their first four albums.
>>60732728
>and I would love to talk about it here
go ahead i'll be lurking
>>60732792
A bunch of bands use non-standard song structures or time signatures, therefore newer bands doing it aren't really progressive. Bands that were the originators of non-standard song structures and time signatures are progressive.
To be truly progressive, you have to do things in your genre that haven't been done before.
To be truly avantgarde, you have to do things in music that haven't been done before.
That's why avant-garde metal, avant-garde jazz, avant-garde rock aren't truly avant-garde. If it can be lumped with a genre, it isn't avant-garde. You could call all of those genres proper prog.
>>60732821
>I realized that I only liked their first four albums
I know I'm alone with my opinion, but I think Danzig 6-8 are the best albums. I very rarely listen to the classic albums, but that's because I'm not a huge fan of classic rock/metal. Satan's Child is definitely my favorite from Danzig.
>>60732762
Well I certainly prefer it to r/progmetal which constantly circlejerks Mastodon, Periphery, BTBAM or Gojira and anything less popular gets no discussion , that community is just awful
>>60732783
Made it through with ease. Prolly because the only metal I keep up with anymore is BM.
>>60732844
/r/progmetal is horrendous.
At least the prog /metal/ circlejerks is good. It gets annoying to see it circlejerked constantly, though.
>>60732842
6-8 have their own merits. They are not bad.
Actually Deth Red Sabaoth was the first meh album from Danzig to me.
>>60732850
and you're one of these fags, that we make fun of.
>>60732872
>Deth Red Sabaoth was the first meh album from Danzig to me
Yeah, that's probably his worst album, I agree.
>>60732844
most of the metal subleddits are awful. /r/blackmetal is the least shit but tends to value obscurity over quality
>>60732899
True, even if it wasn't really a bad album.
>>60732581
>>60732893
Why? I didn't say BM is all I listen to, just the only one I keep an eye out for new releases. I've dug into every subgenre of metal except power and prog and they just don't keep me interested for long. It's mainly because that there's a pretty big gap between releases I enjoy. Listening to new albums keeps a subgenre from getting stale. If a new non-BM album comes out that's good, I'll know about it from being posted in here anyways.
>>60732827
Well what were your favourites from this year?
There was Leprous which was great, but I overplayed it so much I can't listen to it anymore
Enslaved who played it pretty safe and released poor man's RIITIIR
Thurisaz was definitely better prog black metal album
Riverside, which was not even metal, but good despite some dullness
Wilderun, which is probably my AOTY, it's like more folk Opeth
Amorphis was pretty fun, but I got bit tired of it since it has little replay value
Arcturus made a really solid comeback album and proved they don't need Garm
Dreadnought and Solefald were criminally underrated semi avant garde metal albums
I didn't even bother with Gentle Storm
Next to None was hilariously awful
BTBAM was dull as hell instead of irritating, I never got the appeal of this band
Symphony X was cheesy shite as usual, but not the fun kind like Voyager, Amorphis or Haken
VOLA was pretty fun but not great
TesseracT was forgettable
Sumerianshit like Periphery, BoO and VoM just sucked
My friend Australian friend constantly hyped two bands, Chaos Divine and Arcane, the first one was alright proggy melodeath and the second one made great and ambitious double album with Fates Warning worship on one side and Anathema like ballads on the other
The singer of Arcane also released album with Caligula's Horse recently which I liked, but was not amazed, I should give it more listens
>>60732246
That album is so fucking good.
>>60732246
reminds me i should listen to twilight force
So, should I go to a BM festival that's on a local club next February? These are the bands that are playing there:
>Mgla
>Clandestine Blaze
>Arkona (Pol)
>Archgoat
>Ondskapt
>Hypothermia
>Kall
>Angelscourge
>Paara

God, is this album meant to be an endurance test?
The third disc is supposedly the best so it better be worth it
>>60733123
That's a good lineup, I'd go.
Recommend me some progressive slam
Or deathcore that is not Sumerian bullshit with space keyboards
>>60733150
>>60733186
Yeah, I'm also leaning towards going, especially since the tickets don't cost that much (55€). I just don't really have any friends who are into Black Metal, is it dumb to go to a place like that alone?
>>60733238
I go to shows by myself all the time. I prefer it over going with a friend, actually.

>There was Leprous which was great, but I overplayed it so much I can't listen to it anymore
Yes, I still prefer bilateral though but i can't tell if it's because if discovered them with it
Also just watched again the video of The price and noticed that the drummer use only one feet for the whole song and i feel like shit
>Enslaved who played it pretty safe and released poor man's RIITIIR
Totally agree
I listened it twice and forgot it
>Wilderun, which is probably my AOTY, it's like more folk Opeth
I'm interested
>Arcturus made a really solid comeback album and proved they don't need Garm
But muh garm though
I like this man so much i'm afraid of listening to post-garm arcturus
>I didn't even bother with Gentle Storm
Me neither
I use a lot a french website of music reviews where that album was given a 5 by the guy whose list of favorites is nothing but beatles albums and i knew it would probably be shit

>>60733447
Damn I totally forgot about new Thy Catafalque, how does it compare to that one?
>>60733488
it is good, not as good as rengeteg but still worth listening to. IMO it really needs to have more vocal parts because those are definitely lacking.
power metal chart?
>>60732783
I technically lost because a guy wanted me to cover a Death song for him so I had to listen to that song twice but otherwise I did it.
>tfw I didn't listen to a single black metal album during November
>>60733570
Which song?
Reminder: many people give prog metal shit for being too pretentious, but most prog musicians I've seen are pretty cool people who do it for fun, the problem is with fans
On the other hand, black metal has both some of the most pretentious artists and fanbases I've ever seen
>>60733597
vacant planets which sucked because human was the only death album I havnt heard
hit me with some NWN!-like stuff possibly form the third world and relentless as possible.
>>60732783
i lost the first week by listening to hammerheart without realizing it's not actually black metal
so when is death metal getting a month?
Next year I'm going to do nothing but butt metal November
>>60733617
Just listen to the band all those NWN bands copy.

>>60733639
OSDM October used to be a thing.
>>60733639
Never. People have tried all kinds of spinoff shit but nothing has worked. Besides, what's the point? Soon all month would have some sort of special theme. What would be the point of that?
Anyone got any good pdfs on scales and arpeggios?
>>60733639
What about doom metal december
>>60733660
>Blasphemy
obv I have already listened to it
I have listened to nothing but whole Paradise Lost, Meshuggah and Blind Guardian discographies for a whole month, how bad is that?
>>60733705
Well yeah, but why listen to copycats when you can listen to the real thing?
what's best metal of '10s
>>60733726
Not saying it's the best, but it's definitely up there.
>>60733639
only good metal gets a month
>>60732783
I didn't
>>60733611
Both have pretentious artists or fanbases
Why shouls you care though, look at Immortal, abbath is the definition of chill and tongue-in-cheek

same thing that could be said about Darkthrone clones or Suffocation-clones
I like that sound, and I actually like the copycats more than the originator, there I said it.

>>60733763
>>60733768
O snp, thought it came out in 2010.
Well, here's another. That Fanisk is dope too.
>>60733617
Have you listened to the new Revenge? It's disgustingly sick.
Also listen to Nuclearhammer and Bestial Warlust
>>60733726
More Constant Than the Gods
Torn Beyond Reason
All We Love We Leave Behind

Guy earlier didnt comply so heres a challenge, post a black metal band thats good and formed after the 2000s, only one I can think of is peste noire, everything else I heard you guys circlejerk is beyond shit
>>60733816
I'll check it out
>black metal fags come back to /metal/ and all they do is bitch about how shitty it is
why don't you guys do us all a favor and just stay in your own thread year round?
>>60733831
ascension
ruins of beverast
would say panopticon as well but i guess that one's a part of the so called circlejerk
>>60733831
What BM do you like?
>>60733831
Is that supposed to be a challenge?
>Seeds of Iblis
>Elderwind
>Angelscourge
>Askival
>Cosmic Church
>Eldrig
>Plaga
>The Ruins of Beverast
>Zgard
>M8Л8TХ
>Wisdom of Shadows
>Mesarthim
>le list could go on
And that's just a quick list of some of my favorites from my own library. If you honestly think that Peste Noire is the only good BM band formed after the year 2000 then you're beyond all hope.
>>60733917
Immortal, darkthrone, dissection, molested, thy darkened shade, sorhin, master's hammer, dawn, inquisition, bed buens ende, fleurety, bathory, later mayhem
>>60733831
Peste Noire is the best of these bands but most of these >>60733882, >>60733964 are good
>>60733831
Slaegt
>>60733976
I think anyone who appreciates and enjoys 2nd wave can get behind Kaevum.

Anything similar to Burzum's ambient stuff minus vocals?
No one is talking about the album of the year that came out yesterday...

>>60734059
>"Never heard the name, better check out some more info"
>Melodic death metal
Yeah, that's not even the album of the day, let alone album of the year. I don't even have to listen to that shit.
>>60733726

>>60733726
>>60734104
These
>>60733726
All maymays and circlejerks aside, In Somniphobia is my avant-metal album of the decade so far
>>60734102
This anti-MDM circlejerk is getting really boring

What are you listening to, r/metal?
>>60734222
i know it is gay, but i just love this band, maybe my favorite power band of all time
>>60734185
I know it's a cool defense mechanism to call different opinions "circlejerk" and "memes" and whatever, but anyone who acts like melodeath isn't the cancer that's killing metal is just delusional. The music is godawful borderline pop and the fans are the worst kind of "METAL LMAO XD" dudebros to ever walk this planet.
>Melodeath shitters will defend this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WdkezMEWcQ
>>60734274
Thats actually pretty good minus that clean chorus
>>60734274
I don't think anybody listens to melodeath anymore, at least not as 10 years ago.
>>60734222
some german grind/hc i found on a blogspot
pretty neat
>>60734193
>All atmospheric black metal is le atmoshit
>The Ruins of Beverast is a terrible meme band
I wish you were tripfagging so I could ignore your opinions from now on.
>>60734274
what are some good power/melodeath bands?
>>60734274
Blackgaze is worst modern cancer, and at least melodic death was good once
>>60734355
>Melodeath
Literally none
>Power
Depends on how much cheese you want with your metal.
I just saw this for the first time and I've been losing my shit for like 5 minutes straight help
How the fuck did someone give this the green light
>>60734333
i still have a soft spot for it but modern melodeath is indeed pretty shit with some exceptions
>>60734379
>not a single goodelodesth band
not sure if tryhard or abysmal taste
>>60734355
>melodeath
Arghoslent.
>>60734383
>How the fuck did someone give this the green light
The funny thing is, it was the guys from Iron Maiden who gave the green light. The album cover is supposed to be a very, VERY rough version of the final album cover, but when the artist showed it to the band, they were like "Yeah, that's cool, let's use that". The artist was so shocked and embarassed that he didn't want his name to appear in the album's credits.
All That Remains back before they sold out hardcore had some pretty solid melodic death stuff
>>60734383
I've heard that the artist was still working on it but the band was all "nuh uh this looks good enough, publish it"
>>60734379
How can you really not like a single melodeath band? Early in flames was god-tier, am i being memed?
>>60734346
Atmospheric metal is just trash, you can like tour ruins of memerast for all I care though
>>60734416
man made god was my gateway into metal
>>60734416
>Someone doesn't like mediocre pop metal
>"Am I being memed"
wew lad
>>60734437
>Atmospheric metal is just trash
I bet you're a thrash fag
>>60734437
>>60734463
and here we go again
fuck this man i'm just gonna listen to pop punk again
>>60734355
>melodeath
Carcass, DT, IF, ATG, early children of bodom, a canorous quintet, intestine baalism, arghoslent, edge of sanity, uncanny, cthonic, horrendous, bal-sagoth, deluhi
>>60734383
>literally has that baby from this gif
Top kek.
>>60734447
Damn bro, I love your memes XD
>>60734379
>>60734410
>>60734483
i was asking for melodeath + power bands like the one guy posted, i know bands from each genre
>>60734274
Proving my point
>>60734503
children of bodom, but you already know that one
kalmah's debut is maybe kind of power-ish, i guess?
>>60734503
Children of bodom, bal-sagoth, deluhi, arghoslent are pretty power too sometimes
>>60734520
>>60734523
i don't like cob
ill will a go to other ones
>>60734416
If melodeath wasn't you're entry point for metal it's hard to get interested later
>>60734503
Basically all melodeath thats from japan, off the top of my head - gyze
>>60734463
I like black metal, but yeah I love thrash too, not my fav genre though
>buckethead will never do metal again
hold me
>>60734273
Never got into stratovarius desu
>>60734274
Okay that's not really good but i've seen far worse desu
I expected the clean chorus to be worse
>>60734632
now that you mentioned him, I haven't listened to a single album of his 2015 ones, which are good?
>>60734659
I haven't either
I fell behind a couple years ago now I have like 73 albums to listen to to catch up
>>60734447
pop metal has good albums though
>>60734649
>Never got into stratovarius desu
I got into them after listening to new one countless times, check this song from Infinite

>>60734447
Typical atmoshitter
At least melodeath has actual riffs and songwriting unlike your ambient with shrieking
>>60734537
I got into it like 3 years after I got into metal, my Entry genres were doom and prog
Hey guys what do you think of my recent pick ups?
>>60734861
nice collage famala- wait
