>>61760254

>>61760388
I hope it's not cavernous
>>61760254
progressive blackened death metal with manly Rammstein-style vocals
>>61760254
>sludge/harsh noise/ambient/industrial with extensive use of found item percussion and homemade effect units
>mathy, grindy black metal with bleak soundscapes
tfw literally none of my friends who are even into metal would be up for any of these
>>61760254
Funeral Noise Doom with screaming vocals and avant-garde classical piano segments.
>>61760254
Technical stoner doom. Fat fuzzy riffs played at unconventional scales and off-kilter tempo.
>>61760533
nah pretty brutal/raw. just straight up BM with thrash and DM riffs.
>>61760254
Same as>>61760629
Except not stoner
>>61760254
Black/Thrash/Heavy Metal ala Barathrum
Pitchshifted Gurgle-Slam with smooth Jazz solos and Big Band vocal leads
Blackened Rapcore/Nu Metal
Black Metal/Trance
Death/Black version of Van Canto
>>61760254
Crazy ass jazzcore like melt banana but leaning more to grind.
Am I hearing brutal death riffs in blizzard beasts, the fuck?
>>61760736
So, Naked City?
>>61760738
I wouldn't really say brutal death metal, but it does remind me of Morbid Angel sometimes.
>>61760738
Abbath is a madman
>>61760738
Well abbath did play in a death metal band at one point
Well looks like new Blindead album won't come out soon since they are looking for a new vocalist
werent we supposed to get a new Portal album last year? Is that still happening?
>>61759928
Where the fuck is the pastebin?
>>61760955
Two of their members have been ill for a while nowso a new album wasn't happening soon to begin with. Shame their vocalist left though.
>>61760961
Fuck that, where the hell is Bölzer's full-length?
Inquisition.
Dagon is a genius.
>>61760982
Immortal 2.0, still the best current bm band
>>61760982
I got this beauty the other day.
It's damn amazing
>>61760254
Sludge metal with filthy covald likr Iron Monkey and Eyehategod, and mathy riffs a la Shellac with drony drum interludes
>>61760976
They have supposedly recorded new material already except vocals
>>61760989
Somebody has to carry the torch
>>61760993
Fucking killer! I've got the three first albums on tape actually.
Have you seen them live?
>>61760989
Immortal 2.0? I can hear some Pure Holocaust influences, but apart from that, the music is pretty unique.
>>61761027
>Have you seen them live
I'd love to, but I haven't had the opportunity yet.
what about you?
>>61761069
No. They rarely play in Norway.
Would travel anywhere in the country to catch their ritual.
>>61761043
I mainly hear ATHOW and SOND, but yes they are still pretty unique in terms of black metal, maybe it's the frog vocals that are making me draw comparisons, even then he takes the "ribbit" to a whole new level when compared with abbath
I think Neoandertals got too much hate.
This album is pretty groovy. Although there are only drums and bass.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUgpSZ2XYpE
Is there any other black metal like this? It's nice to hear an epic black metal project that isn't about space or transcendental space mysticism because that generally leaves me cold, but what gets me about Griseus particularly is that it isn't just forest rock or even the 'song of my people' type Winterfylleth/Primordial black metal. It's extraordinarily ambitious, yet still clearly rooted in a worldly, natural, Romantic aesthetic. Is there any other contemporary BM artist like this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvc2bzXTRyY
>>61761099
I never seen them getting any hate
>>61761086
They're playing Gothenburg, Sweden january 30 so if you're around Oslo that would be a possibility
>>61761093
Yeah the vocals are something for themselves.
But it's also something with the riffs. Very cosmic and obscure feeling to it.
The earlier stuff gives me more of a satanic feeling though. Ancient Monumental Way Hymn for example..
>>61761126
I live on the west-coast.
Are you going? Svensk, eller?
>>61761105
I am actually listening to that right now.
An album of similar style would maybe be Aeschotologia by Bann.
other than that maybe Ifing, Empyrium, Kauan or October Falls

What's your favourite acoustic version of a metal song, guys?
I love this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB8FC22Yc8w
What is the Sunbather of death metal?
>>61761827
huh?
>>61761827
Watered down and mixed with shitty post-rock to appeal to hipster garbage?
Ulcerate.
>>61761817
Katatonia put out an excellent acoustic live DVD this year
>>61761817
In general melodeath like SOTS or Heartwork
From new ones Behemoth The Satanist
>>61761870
Second one was meant for
>>61761827
>>61761865
Yeah, pretty much the closest you can get, it's still not even near the level of faggotry and the music is atleast mildly good
>>61761879
Lmao what, hipster faggots don't like melodeath, and atleast there are some good melodeath bands unlike post black
Do you guys think we'll get Volume 2 of History of Death and Burial Rituals any time soon? Maybe not this year, because the members are busy with the new Cult of Fire album, but this was one of my favorite releases last year. I want another one.
http://ironboneheadproductions.bandcamp.com/album/death-karma-the-history-of-death-burial-rituals-part-i
Also, holy shit, new Cult of Fire this year.

Dark ambient retrowave synth cross with acoustic rip offs of death riffs.
>>61761900
You mean strawman hipster faggots that you made up, or actual hipster faggots. Cause actual hipster faggots only listen to "underground" black and death metal aka shitty third rate Burzum, Darkthrone, Incantation and Autopsy clones.
Are you ready for AOTY?
>>61761956
What would you call the audience of sunbather? It's fantano/pitchfork/rym/mu/ drones, aka hipster faggots
>>61761865
listened to one song, nothing special. what I did like was the comment section gringe especially all the people talking about how evil sounding and scary the music is.
>>61761991
That's the point, it's mediocre as fuck and praised as "grown up metal"
>>61761979
Listening to popular music is the exact opposite of hipsterism. Pitchfork hasn't been a hipster site for over 5 years now.
Crayon Pop edition?
sluggy...
>>61761865
Gigan
>>61762007
It's not popular in the normie sense
Only melodic death metal band worth shit coming through.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBXQy1MAYlM
>>61762006
>it's mediocre as fuck
As opposed to what? Death metal in general has been mediocre at best for 2 decades now.
>>61762020
But gigan is actually good, what are you.on about?
>>61762020
not the newer stuff I heard
>>61762041
Epic, and what hasn't then?
>>61762046
>>61762049
Not saying it's bad
>>61762056
So you have no examples of non-mediocre death metal?
>>61762061
well I dont know I'm just saying their last two albums dont sound like that at all as I recall
>>61762041
Nah, just nah, 1996 is where it started getting really, really fucking good and it's still getting better
>>61762083
I don't know, so far I've only listened to Order Of The False Eye
>>61762077
I can name you a ton of mindblowing bands but for what purpose? I know you're some retarded black metal fan that thinks the latest atmoshit meme is radical
>>61762061
Well sunbather is one of those albums I'd give a 0/10 objectively judging the music only, so equatting gigan to that is pretty blasphemous
>>61762177
I wasn't comparing them. I was just throwing them out there because they are similar to Ulcerate.
>>61762095
>>61762126
>still can't name any non-mediocre albums
thanks for proving my point yet again
>>61762235
Prove you're not b8ting, name some bands you consider good

It's ironic that I'm the one who's trolling, while you do literally nothing but stawmanning and avoiding a simple answer for 3 posts now.
>>61762279
The fact you had to go 18 years in the past to dig up an album that shows how death metal isn't in the toilet in the last 20 years just proves my point further.
>There are people here right now that genuinely think Sabaton are not one of the future classic Metal bands
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LKvyUtb8f8
>>61762279
Hello reddit
>>61762326
I love the fact that they are much more popular in Slav countries than the UK
>>61762326
literally fedoracore shit
>>61762347
I am Slovak and my friends constantly talk about them, fucking hate the band
>>61762358
All classic bands get trashed in their heyday by edgy contrarians.
>>61762302
Alright
First 4 decapitated albums, 1st psycroptic album, first 3 cryptopsy albums, 3,4 and 6 dying fetus albums, katalepsy - autopsychosis, 2nd, 3rd and 4th immolation albums, the last 5 cannibal corpse albums, abominable putridity 2nd album, both soreption albums, 3rd, 4th nile albums, both luciferion albums, first two arghoslent albums, 1st at the gates album, everything by bloodbath, everything by TOOH, demilich - nespithe, monstrosity 2nd album, wormed - exodromos, everything by diskord, lykathea aflame/appaling spawn, crimson massacre, spawn of possession - cabinet, everything by akercocke, ad nauseam, martyr 1st album, sarpanitum, horrendous, capharnaum, molested, gorod
All atleast an 8/10
>>61762381
Except it's those edgy contrarians that listen to Sabaton, taking every chance possible to tell you about "real music" and how intelligent and different the band is from all the other shitty music because their lyrics are "educational" and historical.
>>61762432
I just skimmed your post and seen Dying Fetus Cannibal Corpse and Bloodbath as examples of good death metal, I don't think we need to interact any more.
Also not to mention literally half the shit you mention is over 20 years old, which completely avoids my initial question.
>>61762451
None of the albums I've mentioned are over 20 years old
>dying fetus, cannibal corpse and bloodbath
>bad
Epic contrarianism I'd love to hear the modern bands you consider good
>>61760388
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e9s7zHffrI
>>61762469
Striborg, semargl and myrkur are the best modern bands
>>61762469
If there were any bands I'd consider just outright contrarian to hate it's definetly those 3
Fuck the riff at the beginning of this song is really good although it sounds too familiar
https://youtu.be/03WoO5WpckE
>>61762501
I will never get the cannibal corpse hate, especially in cases like "well their first few albums were good" considering their last 5 albums have been god-tier
>>61762358
>>61762347
>>61762326
In the early 2000's before Primo Victoria came out (and even after it came out) Sabaton were respected as one of the few modern groups that weren't symphonic fancy-lad prancy tights sissy-by Power Metal
Shame to see their legacy squandered with repetition
>>61762536
their new stuff is so fucking groovy it's just impossible not to headbang
>>61762469
I think you fell pretty hard for the b8
Underrated album
>>61762536
Most of it stems from dislike of corpsegrinder, and the rest of it stems from an awful mid-period
Most bands with an awful mid-period don't get better
>>61762627
First track is great, the rest is Meh
>>61762650
I disagree
>>61762644
Makes sense, did you hear corpsegrinder's vocals on the first 2 monstrosity albums? His highs are fucking insane and he never really did them again in cannibal, atleast not to the same extent
What the fuck are these vocals
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DtyYqTPHFg
>>61762726
What the fuck is this band is a better question
>japanese
>a bit quirky
>weird vocals
>one man project
>killed himself in 2008 by gunshot
This has everything needed to become a meme
>>61762757
nearly every japanese band is memeworthy
>>61762789
>every single japanese band is memeworthy
FTFY
>>61762789
>>61762798
Is there a single japanese metal band that just sounds normal or doesn't have some hilariously ridiculous image or backstory?
It this the best pirate metal album
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsU39voYIsY
>>61761959
They should have stopped after Portnoy. Well, with the exception of the amazing Breaking All Illusions. But they definitely should have stopped.
>>61762809
I literally cannot think of a single one, maybe a couple of power metal bands, but they're ridiculously better than any power metal from the rest of the world
>>61762809
Coffins, Church of Misery, Corrupted, Intestine Baalism, Eternal Elysium, Greenmachine, Guillotine Terror, SSORC, Terror Squad, Sex Machine Guns, Barbatos.
>>61762821
>pirate metal
>>61762834
Terror squad is pretty weird for a thrash band
>>61762809

cannibal corpse is fucking awful bro-tier simple death metal
there are no redeeming musical qualities to their work
>>61762870
>cannibal corpse is fucking awful bro-tier simple death metal
simple isn't an insult, using it as one makes it sound like you listen to overproduced prog metal and like tipping meme hats.
>>61762870

>>61762870
They're technical as fuck on their last 5 albums, also how can you critisize something for being simple when you yourself like the most generic dumbed down black metal bands that are simpler than top 40s pop
>>61762880
I do listen to overproduced prog, does that make my point any less valid?
>>61762884
first of all, technical doesn't mean it's not simple
the song structure can still be simple even if the riffs have a lot of notes in them
and this is not what most of cannibal corpse songs sound like anyway
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNhN6lT-y5U

>>61762956
Ok blut's pretty good I'll give you that
>>61762957
it's not derogatory, it's just descriptive
bro-tier is derogatory because they sound like heavier Sepultura

Death, for me all of their albums are great. Bonus: they can't fuck up it anymore.
>>61763608
I really don't know how. Having good riffs, competent musicians, and boatloads of creativity. That said, I've been falling off the Opeth train since Deliverance, when Heritage hit and fell short of Damnation's glory, I just walked away.

Torture and Skeletal Domain are fucking great, though.
>>61765457
Everything 2bh, just how pumped the music makes you overall, the catchy as fuck vocal phrasing, god-tier 11/10 choruses, very memorable songwriting and probably the most well done breakdowns I've ever heard

Evisceration plague is a pretty sick song though
