"Philosophical, Concept Album"
I'm attending a doom metal show next week. First metal show ever
Are people just going to stand there and sway or will there be retards jumping around?
What should I wear?
Please help
>>60871358
Oh, of course it was dmshareguy who voted for them
When Life Comes to End & Eros|Anteros were great. Any similar/interesting suggestions?
>>60871388
For doom metal, in my experience people stand there and move pretty minimally. Occasionally you'll get some drugged up retard embarrassing himself, but its not too common at least where I live. Wear whatever you want, just a t shirt and jeans or something
Black metal is the best metal
Hail satan
Hail varg
What do you guys think of Fozzy? Their newest album is shit, Sins and Bone is kind of a guilty pleasure of mine, and most of their stuff before that is pretty good.
>>60871604
>>60871388
I love doom but the thought of going to a doom show bores me to tears. I don't see how anyone could do it.
Hell, I always thought people went to Electric Wizard concerts and sat in circles while they all smoked pot. Make the inside look like a huge haze of drugs and death.

Damn, I was hesitant to listen at first because anons praised it for the riffs alone, and yeah they're right, it's a pile of riffs:the album, but I'll be damned if there's a riff lower than 8/10 on the album, hypnotic rhythm section the whole way through, best riffs I've heard in a while, take a listen, the first song is the only somewhat weak one on the whole album
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CLN016ZKB_E

I went to Pentagram not long ago and it was a total blast.
This fucking release is amazing.
I've been wanting to get into doom metal. Could you guys recommend me some albums that are general considered the best and most accessible?
>>60872114
Don't know about what's considered the best but I got into it through november's doom, starting with the first album, really good riffs
>>60872114
Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride discography
>>60872114
Epicus Doomicus Metallicus was my first, great entry level record
>>60872166
Especially Icon from first and Angel and Dark River from second
>>60872114
Black Sabbath - First four albums
Pentagram - All albums, but the earlier the better
Candlemass - All the early albums, some of the new ones are great too, but not quite as doomy.
Scald - WIll of the Gods is Great Power
If you were thinking more extreme doom:
Anathema - All their stuff before they went alternative rock.
Electric Wizard - start with their 2000 Dopethrone
Mh, some others have been mentioned. I'm more into the epic doom tbqh

DM has the best taste out of any other trip who frequents here.

Do you even know the taste of every trip here? Like, do you literally have lists they have made on hand?
>>60875667

So he likes the same things you like?
>>60875702
I don't have a list but I've lurked long enough to see countless trips come and go.
Out of the longterm dudes, DM is both the most helpful and the best taste. Sure he likes some metalcore and djent but his justifications for the albums he likes are done well enough I don't mind him posting them.
>>60875719
Fair enough.

What is taste but similarities you share with other people anon. In reality no one can objectively have good taste because there is no such thing as "good," in the objective sense.
Even then, we have our differences, I just respect his choices because he always has solid reasoning behind them.
>>60875734
This
The notion of something being "objectively" good is literally incomprehensible nonsense. Scientifically, music is just meaningless patterns of sounds which our brain perceives and makes sense of. At least, that's my theory
But forget what I just said, /metal/. Go back to waifu-ing and bandwagoning as usually, like your individual opinions have some absolute authority.

There are music subgenres for reasons which is to let more music listeners to discover more music. Like Metal, you got over 30 metal genres that are still in this music today.
I listen to a lot of bands from every single subgenre.
I have a lot of fun and get a lot of varied listening.
Some bands are good, and that's okay. Some bands are bad, and that's okay.
This is objectively the best way to listen to metal, and any music genre in general.
>>60875956
Neurosis was never good, what the fuck are you on about?
who is the Richard David James of metal?
>>60875987
I definitely agree with you.
Same with me, whenever I listened to alot of bands from a metal genre, I go to the next one to experience how does it sound if It's good for my ears or just plain awful for my ears.
>>60875819
Don't tell me you're serious if you think these bands are "pretending" they like metal and claiming to say that they're bad. Either a troll or just plain idiotic.

I'd amend this and say that looking for general meta-principles which can apply to any, or all, genre's is the best way to go about listening to music. Get your own reasons to like music.

Well Salvation is a pretty relentless album, so unless you're into black metal like that it's understandable why it may be difficult to get into.
SMRC though? Each song is packed with memorable and catchy moments of triumph. It's like saying Taake is difficult to get into.
I can understand if the length of the album makes it difficult, but on an individual song basis it's like everything there is accessible in black metal.

No.
>>60876711
They are good albums.
>>60876668
I'm actually curious about your opinion: What do you think about the lyrics of Deathspell's Trilogy?
A lot of people really grind on it for being "pretentious", and for a long time I might of agreed, but recently I've actually been able to extrapolate some meanings and concepts from the lyrics, and I'd have to say, Deathspell growl about some pretty cool shit.
I think the whole "pretentious" aspect comes from them trying to mimic the prose of the actual christian bible, which is incredibly dense and full of purplish nonsense.
>>60876818
I haven't listened to all of them, but the ones I have were at least moderately enjoyable.
>>60876860
I like them of course. I think there are some absolutely critical pieces within their lyrics, and I find the concept fascinating.
As for the pretentiousness it's two way, because you are dealing with the surrealism of Bataille (their primary influence), on top of the biblical prose. Both of which contribute to their lyrics and their "pretentiousness". Personally I find "pretentiousness" to be as vapid of a criticism as "hipster" though.
>>60875568
the blackfags came back
>>60876668
Yeah it's probably the length that made it so difficult for me.
But Taake is a completely different thing, it's a lot more melodic and rawer and has no chaotic moments, while SMRC is filled with chaotic moments that you can't even make out very well that's happening (I might be exaggerating here a bit), and this gets intensified on Fas.
So I wouldn't really compare DsO to Taake in terms of how difficult it is to get into, it's not the same and you know that, but I do agree with you on how SMRC is structured. It shouldn't be a difficult listen in theory. The tone and the riff on this are so comfortably catchy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPeJi68LpX0

What's power metal /mu/'s opinion of this album?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWvZIKpj9qQ&list=PLVcEJl-KOCOS77kbObafDy8wCAIBP6NVu
It's not perfect but I think it showed outrageous potential. They remind me of later Dragonforce without all the goofy shit, and I think they could have been essential given another album or two, and it's really too bad they fell apart. They still exist but have basically been relegated back to local band status.
>>60876566
>They're good but way overhyped.
Honestly, this is what I feel now that I've listened through Groza and With Hearts Toward None and I'm halfway through Exercises in Futility. I've seen and heard so many people praise Mgla to high heavens that I expected something really groundbreaking and mindblowing but I was in for a disappointment. Groza is just your average mediocre BM album, there's absolutely nothing worth mentioning about it. With Hearts Toward None is good but nothing special, definitely not worth the hype and attention it gets. Exercises in Futility is by far the best of the three and actually has some great riffs, but it's not AOTY material like so many people claim here. Overall, I'm a bit disappointed but at least each album is better than the last so the direction is right. I'm eagerly waiting for the next Mgla album to be better than Exercises. Terribly, terribly overrated nonetheless.
HAVE
So what does /mu/ thinks about WITTR? I bet this band got destroyed because of the latest album.
I liked Celestial Lineage and Black Cascade
>>60877268
For me Exercises in Futility lived up to the hype, I honestly believe that the only BM albums that come close this year are Thier, from Amestigon, the new Drudkh album and maybe The Dreaming I from Akhlys. These are my top four.

>while SMRC is filled with chaotic moments that you can't even make out very well that's happening
It's called Sound-Mass composition. When you layer cacophonous riffing to the point where it surpasses some uncanny-valley threshold and the guitar-works sounds more like billions of people screaming, or demonic entities, then chords and melodies.
Fas has more in common with Krzysztof Penderecki and avant-garde 20th/21st composition than black metal, imo.
>>60877797
But SMRC Is so easy to understand, you can hear every chord clearly, the only challenging album of theirs is fas
>>60877859
Okay, what I was actually referencing is Fas, Chaining the Katechon, and some choice moments in Drought and Paracletus
>>60877888
Nice trips. Also checking the get: >>60877777
So a synthpop band plays anime melodies and a -core band play a different song with an identical chord progression over it with no effort made to make them gel and Amy Lee or someone sings over it

So, why do I never see /metal/ talk about pic related when they talk about this year's releases? This is some pretty good stuff.
>>60878057
Triggered, what, you listened to black metal or something?
>>60878057
thrash metal ? more like TRASH metal lmaooo
>>60878112
>>60878085
I listened mostly to Slayer, which I've found a lot better than what made me interested in metal in the first place - KF2 soundtrack (Zynthetic, Demon hunter, Living Sacrifice - The vocals there seem like they're not supposed to be there, not lyrics wise but the way they're implemented into the songs)
I guess I just need to listen to a bit more before I can form my opinion, I quite like Raining Blood. I have to say that I like when the songs contain a lot of vocals, but I don't know any good power metal albums and the few random power metal "hits" I've listened to seem to have very weak guitar and drummers, focusing on the singer it makes sense, but it's just the way it felt to me.
>>60877859
While that is true, there are some bits of cacophonous moments on SMRC that resemble a bit (although not with the same tone, complexity and cacophony) what would later appear on Fas. But I take out what I said about SMRC being "filled" with chaotic moments, I'm just stupid, the chords are very discernible, it's more the drums that make some moments sound chaotic.
>>60878090
I thought it was good for the first listen but after that first listen it becomes too samey, like all war metal actually.
>>60878297
What's the appeal of war metal aside from the war thing and aesthetics?
>>60878319
it's like a mix of first wave black metal, grindcore and death metal. It's just raw aggressive metal that gives no fucks and just dont understand it.
>>60878244
>power metal
You have to listen to lost horizon, galneryus, versailes, angra, virgin steele, x-japan
>thrash
Check out artillery, exhorder, coroner, voivod, expulsion, testament, metallica, megadeth, obliveon, xentrix, watchtower, vektor, black fast, terror squad, the very first nile demo
even though I like thrash very much, slayer is probably one of my least favourite bands
>>60878297
War Metal is a bit too samey, sure, and that's why Archgoat is pretty much the only War Metal band I listen to.
>>60878319
Some occasional cool riffs and the raw dirty aggression.
>>60878364
I'll check all of those out and then decide if I want to keep trying to get into metal or drop it, thank you anon.
>>60878297
It's good for listening after going through stuff like the new Sufjan Stevens
>>60875369
Go to bed PMRants
>>60877491
Black Cascade is their best.
>>60878484
Alright, though if you want something more focused on instruments I suggest checking out tech-death, which is my favourite genre, though you might not like it since the vocals are always harsh
>>60878526
Two Hunters is objectively their best, followed by Diadem
>>60875558
This is prretty good list actually, but black metal faggots will disagree
>>60878537
>harsh
yeah, that's exactly what I'm not interested in, right now I'm listening to Artillery - Back, Cybermind and the way the vocals sound there is alright, but any harsher and I would not be enjoying it
I'll still try to remember the genre name and maybe check it out if my tastes change later. Thank you once again.
>>60878570
Not a blackfag but it's a terrible list, so many black metal bands and not even a single good one
>>60878090
I actually talked about it in /nbbmn/
>>60878442
it's hard to find similar things to Archgoat desu but I think the new Ill Omened album had some similar vibes, russian war metal
>tfw you have listened to tons of less known and acclaimed artists and your all time favourite metal band is still Dark Tranquillity
What should I do
>>60878636
listen to dark tranquility probably
>>60878620
link a better bm band than Weakling or Deathspell
>>60878582
Artillery's best is "by inheritance" has some of my favourite riffs of all time, kinda found the first one boring, the second is solid though
>>60878646
only better BM band than DsO is VBE
>>60878646
Really not into modern dissonant black, I think it's trash tb.h, Inquisition is better imo
>>60878646
inquisition
>>60878661
one that's also kinda recent you dummy
>>60878661
Nice meme
>>60878691
oh ok
no one then
>>60878695
right back at you
>>60878624
You did? How come I don't remember that. I only remember you talking about Industrial BM. That being said:
>~Diapsiquir
>>60878630
Thanks for the rec, I guess I could check them out.
>>60878636
Listen to what you like the best. I also dig through a bunch of underground Black Metal that I see on /metal/ threads but eventually I always go back to Graveland, Nokturnal Mortum and Mayhem because those are my favorites.
>>60878636
That reminds me that no matter how hard I explore I always return to that one pleb band that introduced him to the genre
Which one was it for you? For me Dream Theater
>>60878749
>him
I meant me obviously
>>60878714
Hi Preacher how are you today? Are you done fucking the local Shota?
>>60878749
i used to listen to the bleeding every time I come home from school but I eventually got bored of it after the 100 time probably. I still remember every lyric except for the last song because that song sucks and feels unnecessary
>>60878749
amon amarth
twilight of the thundergod is just flawless 2bh
>>60870710
Who is she? :3
>>60878661
ah, yes, VBE, the band that only made a prog-rock album is the best BM band, of course
>>60878738
>>~Diapsiquir
i can't believe this still triggers me to this extent holy shit
>>60878776
i'm p good thanks

The holy trinity of metal labels
>>60878846
Wow, I just don't know what to say.
>Twilight of the thundergod
>Amon Amarth in general
They have some really nice colors and melodic aesthetics, but the main grip I have about their music in general is that their phrasing is literally limited to either triplet feel chugs and 32-th note tremelo picking. There is almost nothing interesting about the structures and shapes evoked in the riffs.
>>60878858
Just say you're a faggot
>>60878865
i don't understand music at all so i'm completely alright with that
>>60878813
It sure was fun triggering the shit out of you every time you posted your collage. I bet you miss that too :^)
>-Dragged into Sunlight
>>60878865
Probably because it's not supposed to wow you with ground breaking song structure and is there to make catchy songs.
>>60878889
>>-Dragged into Sunlight
>>60878889
yee i still remember that
>>60878927
also this
>>60878898
He wasn't complaining about the song structure, but rather their musical phrases which I would agree with.
>implying you can't be catchy and have interesting phrasing
>>60878887
>Being this willfully ignorant
I mean, it's you don't have to know all your music theory terms, but this level of superficial complacency is just shameful.
>>60872114
Cough - "Ritual Abuse"
Slomatics - "Estron"
Yob - "Clearing the path to Ascend"
Paradise Lost - "Draconian Times"
Type O Negative - "World Coming Down"
My Dying Bride - "The Angel and the Dark River"
>>60878948
uh, okay?
>>60878898
Their song structure is perfectly fine. I know it's ABA form catchy stuff for the most part. I'm talking about >>60878938
Also
>implying you can't be catchy and have interesting phrasing
This.
Amon actuall stops being catchy to me after a while due to the monotony of the phrasing. If they had an equivalent amount of "Shape" to their melodies as they did color and aesthetic, I'd fucking own everything they made... but they don't. By a huge margin.
I'm not saying they are shit by any means, but I personally don't really like them enough to keep any of their albums. Maybe a spin on the youtube every once and a while...
>>60875558
>list the most acclaimed metal bands of the last 20 years
>/metal/fags get butthurt
ayy
>>60878980
You literally are indifferent to the notion of your own ears missing crucial aspects of the music. That's literally retarded.
I'm not saying you need to take music theory courses or anything pretentious like that, but come one, at least get a real understanding of shit you are talking about.
