there's something there and im not really sure what it is, i havent really listened to much of this stuff
but I did like at the end how they made a seemingly evil sounding space with all non evil sources, namley just the pig.
>>61070375
Do yourself a flavor and listen to the album, it is sinister. Sounds crazy modern for an album from '93, that's the poppiest song on the album.

>Sounds crazy modern for an album from '93
maybe that's just an ailment of modern metal.
there are so many upstart bands playing really hard and really loud all at the same time and not exactly writing thoughtful content that actually trys something new, but instead doing the exact same thing with a different shade of black.
Its awesome living in a time with so many bands but what does it even mean if very few of them are actually doing something unique
>>61070445
I mean, the flipside is with so many bands making music, even if a smaller percentage are making something 'good' there's still a tremendous amount of unique and objectively awesome music being released on a regular basis. Take Horrendous for example. They sound like they could be from the early 90s alongside death, but without that framework they wouldn't be creating the top tier shit they make now.
AOTY easily.

help /metal/ I've really started to like 30s-50s jazz/blues after playing New Vegas. What should I do? [/spoiler] I like guitar heavy, complicated but slow/medium tempo jazz/blues, can you rec any good artists for this? What other genres do you like to listen to, /metal/?[/spoiler]
I normally listen to borderline melodeath-y bands like Light this City, Memeway Drive and link related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJzdR6_mmfY
How shit is my taste?
>>61071162
Those ain't even melodeath, that's literally shit-tier metalcore, I doubt you'll like jazz
>>61071162
I don't know anything about Jazz but I know Ledd Zepplin has incorporated a funky style into a few of their tracks.
The heavy use of harmonica in this track is characteristics of southern blues type of jazz

thats good at least, considering the modern trend is just the opposite. Its much harder for smaller bands to get exposure in film, when in the 90s there were lots of great movies that featured small music groups.
>>61071480

Not gonna lie, this doesn't sound original at all.
BUT I would watch it, because even if it's not original, it still looks cool.
>>61071861
It's not original at all.
Its heavily inspired by kung fu movies, 80s/90s anime, godzilla movies, and shit like warhammer.

What are some good prog/power metal (and similar) albums that came out this year? I liked the new Maiden, Symphony X (sort of), and Blind Guardian but I haven't had my eye on smaller bands.

The best Cattle Decap album by far. I swear I will never understand why so many people like Monolith of Inhumanity more.
Holy shit the first 4 tracks are 11/10, then there's a weird instrumental but album stays at least 8/10 for the last tracks, overall I'd rate this a 10/10, honestly one of the best albums I've ever listened too

Some guy linked stoner power metal here a few years back but I forgot the bandcamp link or band name. It was just power metal with stoner metal fuzz and bass with lyrics about tolkien fantasy mixed with weed with motorhead vocals while still retaining the bombasticness, speed and melodramatic songwriting of power metal
Shit was funny.
>>61074074
Amboog-A-Lard was a Power/Thrash Metal and Avant-garde Progressive Metal band (one of the members went on to join Marilyn Manson) and Fatima Hill was a progressive PM band from Japan
feeling nostalgic lads
Can someone formulate an actual argument what's wrong with Kamelot? I mean yeah it's music so you don't have to like it if you don't like it but looking at it from any critically distanced perspective they have a pretty unique sound, lyrics and themes that are far from the typical PM fanfare and as far as I am concerned within their style they have been outputting decent and above albums since Epica.
>>61071385
>>61074146
>lyrics and themes that are far from the typical PM fanfare
The lyrics are boring generic pseudo-fantasy lyrics like all symphocore bands with no coherent stories or messages being told and there's no themeing going on, it's just random standard gothic themes that vary song by song. None of their albums I've heard this far has any coherent themeing.
The only thing unique about their sound is that they've got a dude with a crazy punchable face as the vocalist instead of a corset wearing "goth" girl like all other sympho bands. They've got shitty riffs and generic chord progressions.
They're not bad, they're just generic as fuck and boring. The reason they're hated is because of their fedora wearing fan base and the fact that they just don't make good music.

If you dig BM-ish vocals, check out Amenra. They're pretty close too atmosludge but still very much on the sludge side and the vocalist is a fucking beast.
>>61075598
Okay, it sounds like you just can't play it at the tempo you actually want to. I also can't imagine what the rhythm section would do underneath this except play blast beats, which I think is sort of a played out sound, but there's no accounting for taste.

>>61077473
There are some bands whose lyrics are bad enough to tip them from listenable to unlistenable for me. This is pretty common with progressive bands because a lot of them are actually stupid. A couple examples I can think of are Seventh Wonder and Meshuggah
>>61073609
But the best songs on the album are the weird instrumental and I'll Kill You.
>>61077583
What's wrong with meshiggah lyrics?
>>61077658
I'll kill you is definetly sweet, but the instrumental is really out of place for me, also the intro to the instrumental is borderline meme-tier
>>61077696
>the instrumental is really out of place for me
Oh man, listening to Blue Blood and Jealousy are going to drive you up the wall. Not because they are full of weird instrumentals, but because they are both more stylistically all over the place than the debut.
does anybody else think euronymous looks strangely similar to HHH?
>>61077744
I've already went through their discog some time ago, just relistened to vanishing visions recently, I actually like the style changes going on during those albums a nix of speed/heavy/glam/power is fun as fuck and the songwriting is top notch, my favourite after vanishing visions would weirdly enough be dahlia

Dahlia is somehow really good despite being mostly ballads, but it's not something I can listen to a lot. Blue Blood is actually probably my least favorite album. A little too long and the production is pretty bad for some reason. Still pretty good of course. Unfortunately, I'm not too optimistic about their new album next march.
>doom metal band covering Sisters of Mercy with Metallica vocals
There's no reason this should have worked so well
>>61077959
>>61077974
How does it have to be the same subgenre? Euronymous was straight up black metal and Varg was an atmoshitter, lad. Imagine the headlines, "Frontman of Deafheaven and spokesman of the LGTB community, our boy George hunts down Mastermind of Liturgy, Hunter Hunt-Huntington, spokesman of the autism community with a lamp"

It's impossible to hate a band like galneryus though, it's really just a kneejerk reaction from atmoshitters who are really closeted power metal fans
>"No this is wrong, I am definetly not having any fun, am I?"
>>61078696
>numerous power metal bands are brought up frequently for over a year
>a fucking power metal album was a contender for /metal/'s AOTY last year
>>61078750
Nah, boring, immortal is easily the best black metal band of all time
>download some random sludge record called "The Decline and Fall of the Christian Empire"
>starts off pretty lo-fi and grim, albeit somewhat uninspired
>4th track is literally a Meat Loaf song
>not figuratively, not stylistically, not sampled, they literally put a Meat Loaf song as a track and added 5 seconds of feedback at the end

Avantgarde metal masterpiece, or godawful metalcore disaster?

>>61079351
yeah i used that album as a placeholder cause topsters doesnt have it, i love the new album
>>61079397
But you can put any cover art on a topsters collage
>>61079500

Pretty much every single real genre is above power
>>61079993
>even sporkcore and "post-metal" is above power metal
top heh
>>61079993
>non scientifically conducted polls mean anything
>>61079993
someones favorite genre has nothing to do with what genres they hate though. No one said power metal is /metal/'s favorite genre.
>>61079993
You do realize the poll says nothing about disliking genres, do you? Do you think all the people who voted ____ as their favorite hate everything else? Power metal still overrides a lot of other metal discussion on certain days of the week and doesn't really get backlash. Just because it's not a favorite doesn't mean it's disliked. Power metal is definitely not /metal/'s favorite subgenre, it's still a genre /metal/ brings up constantly though.

I hate it tbqh
deathcore appeals to my metal interests better than power does
>>61069767
But this is better. This is the genius. The GZA. But they have a good discography overall.
I'VE COME HERE TO KILL YOU
WON'T LEAVE UNTIL YOU'VE DIED
what do you think /metal/? gonna have to give it a few more listens before forming an opinion, personally
>>61080338
is it as horribly mixed as the last one?
>>61080300
MURDER BORN OF VENGEANCE
I CLOSE MY BROTHER'S EYES TONIIIIIIIIIIIGGHHHHTTTTT
I honestly still enjoy their first 3 albums, might just be nostalgia though
>>61080182
>>61080199
And still most dislike Groove, Alt, Glam, Nu, Djent, Core and Symphonic
>>61080358
Nah, it's a little better
Was this better when the singer couldn't sing and the punk influence was bigger?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdoKs3cDMaA&feature=youtu.be
>>61080381
he had such great vocal chops, more or less wasted on that band
I'll agree I really dug Waking The Fallen and Sounding the Seventh
City of Evil is just hilarious overkill though, they wanted to be GnR so bad
>>61080400
Those genres are vocally shat on here, though. Power metal doesn't really get shot down at all when it gets brought up.
>>61080437
But city of evil is where his vocals really shine, such a great buttmetal album, so fucking catchy
>>61077583
meshuggah's lyricism is one of the things i most like about them
seventh wonder are pure soap opera-core though, the plot of Mercy Falls is so hilarious
>muh bone marrow transplant
>muh car crash
>muh coma
Did you guys like it ?
>>61074407
Elder God tier album.
>>61080504
nah he becomes far too nasely and obnoxious, it's the exact point they become a parody of themselves
even back then I was questioning what I was doing the first time I heard sidewinder and the Seize The Day video really just cements it
but you're right, it's still a totally catchy buttmetal album
at least there was still levels of creativity going on in how many solos they could stuff into one track
from then on that 'Almost Easy' shit and beyond is just cashing cheques
>>61080504
nah m8, it's so nasally b/c it was after he wrecked his voice from poor technique and hadn't quite gotten it back. that album is still one of my favorite drum albums though, to be honest.
>>61080641
>wrecked his voice from poor technique
just like dani filth
>>61080546
No. The worst Mayhem album.
>>61080641
Did someone say "wrecked his voice"?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmvPnOKL-Ok
>>61080936
that was painful to listen to.
he doesn't even sound human
>>61080909
>The worst Mayhem album.
>>61081055
Well, the singer permanently ruined his vocal cords because of that one short EP. That's the price you have to pay if you want to make the most inhuman and kvlt vocals on this planet.
>>61081085
Picture unrelated I guess? Grand Declaration of War is a kickass album.
>>61081085
''no''

Fucking kek, he lost his voice for that?
He's not even a quarter of what this guy pulls off
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lPT-ttHx9ic
>>61081208
>He's not even a quarter of what this guy pulls off
Are you joking? Did you even listen to the Fleurety songs?
>>61081256
Yeah, I've listened to the whole album, it's great, I never knew he lost his voice, but he doesn't even come close to the stuff the guy does at
1:32
2:04
2:42-2:58
3:10
3:35-3:58
4:28
>>61081208
lol nah dude
Anyone really dig Pissgrave's vocals?
>>61081326
pissgrave's vocals use really heavy effects iirc, they're really reliant on their production gimmick to compensate for boring riffs
Anyone ever listen to this album?
I'm pretty sure the other 7 tracks that were "missing from the original EP" were just made up for this album.
There's no mention of these tracks anywhere in early Sodom setlists or anything.
Hell they sound completely different to everything from In The Sign Of Evil - obviously written recently
>tfw the new SikTh
>Mikee the Godman is back
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8C0-8FACWo
I love this.
>>61080936
I feel trapped in a squash court
>>61081358
Didn't know about the vocal effects. I've seen them a bunch and the vocals sound spot on.
>>61081208
damn, and I thought fleurety was insane, doesn't help that fleurety's vocals are drowning in effects too, now this is actually insane
>>61080546
It's decent. I like the Morbid Angel worship and the riffs are cool in general, but the songwriting is poor compared to their old stuff and Ordo Ad Chao
>>61081454
that is literally tech nu-metal
>>61081313
what the fuck, I didn't know that was possible
>tfw Thrash or Die - Poser Holocaust no longer has a 0% average rating on MA
Some dude gave it 75% so the average is now at 9%. What a sad day this is.
>>61081555
>literally
And it's glorious.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HKNA8nvwOg
>>61081454
>>61081555
its pretty good
it overcomes some problems nu-metal had like being cheesy, boring, and generic
>>61069767
15 hours late, but yeah that album is pretty damn good.
>>61081555
yeah sikth go fucking hard though
>>61081620
It's prog metal though.
>>61081602
>those vocals
I can't remember the last time I have been this disgusted by "metal" music. Their early stuff was passable, but this is just a parody of itself
>>61081725
never understood why do people think this. he sounded like shit on their first album
>>61081725
>clean vocals are disgusting
Ok, man. 2bad this is the new glorious face of metal.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf2rIaRftYg
What is some really trebley DM along the lines of Seven Churches or Soulside Journey?
>>61081777
I only liked the harsh vox on periphery 1
they did those pretty well. the cleans were still faggy
>>61081813
sounds like gospel or maybe RnB for some parts
what the everloving fuck
clean vocals can be pretty based but that doesn't mean they are always tasteful
>>61081964
>>61081813
Nah, I would say it sounds more like some babyfaced 18-year-old who won American Idol. That's pretty much the opposite of metal aesthetics.
