>>61939017
Not initially, but in highschool I took a bunch of art classes and most were taught by the same dude, and I slowly turned him into a metal head. I would play music for the class to work to after a lecture, and in between ambient and smooth jazz trash I would sneak in some metal songs, and when people would complain he would say, "well, you need to accept music of other cultures, expand your mind maaaaaan," and he eventually was just asking me for recs like every week.

What? Corrupted's much darker than Boris reflecting more sludge like atmosphere, and how's Indian pretentious? Their approach to using the noisy stuff is a different way of doing the feedback noise shit Eyehategod did.
>/mu/core

>>61939871
Because if it isn't actually heavy post-rock, it's actually ambient post-hardcore and in nether case it's really metal so it has no place in these threads. Why do they even call it atmosludge anyway, there hasn't been sludge in "atmosludge" since Times of Grace.

>>61939816
Nope!
>>61939837
I fucking wish I was in Darkspace.
p fuckin good
>>61940088
Both go hand in hand but extreme metal is best when it's either heavy, aggressive, sinister, or raw. Why listen to extreme music if you just want a watered down and accessible version of it?
>>61940332
Not the same guy, but a lot of 90s tech/prog stuff doesn't come off as particularly heavy or anything to me, but it's still good.
>>61940332
Because some want more things from metal music, I hate how some people judge metal only on how heavy XTREME and BROOTAL it is, ignoring other things like atmospere and musicianship
>>61940332
It's not watered down it's just been mixed with another ingredient equally important to it's composition. Being accessible isn't a bad thing when the focus of the music isn't on "extremeness".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QySZZm0jf34
A song that is sad and not whiny at the same time.
>>61940332
>hurr metal has to be heavy to be good
the best metal albums ever are not all heavy
>>61940088
But they do care about actual songwriting. There's a reason an album like Altars Of Madness by Morbid Angel is considered among the if the best metal albums. There's a reason places like DMU make albums like Kaeck's Stormkult from last year their AOTY. Gimmicks are in fact not very much loved in metal at all, even muh heavy or muh br00tal
>>61940088
In the previous thread, tripfriend iopq was complaining that most djent is just technical with no songwriting
>>61940434
Which albums are you thinking of
>>61940423
Why do people say their post ATWW albums are shit? They got some great songs
And considering the competition is pretty weak, I would say they are the best currrent melodeath band
>>61940472
Nightfall in Middle Earth
>>61940466
The problem with djent is that it all sounds almost the same
>>61940474
Bloodshot dawn, sarpanitum, gyze are much better
>>61940282
also p fuckin good
>>61940500
Those are techdeath
>>61940466
iopq doesnt like immortal so that instantly makes him the worst trip
>>61940522
Not at all
Now that shilling has stopped can we agree this is mediocre?
>>61940474
>Why do people say their post ATWW albums are shit? They got some great songs
Well you're not wrong, stuff like Down With The Sun proves they can still crank out amazing stuff.
The issue is they're usually nowhere near as consistent or cohesive as ATWW when it comes to the whole album.
That and shit like their latest really does just feel like melodeath for the masses, with very very few tracks shining as the Insomnium that blew everyone's minds in 2006.
>>61940383
You can be techy/proggy while still retaining the feel of being raw and heavy (see: Atheist, Demilich, Korpse, Gorguts)
>>61940389
You need proper atmosphere and musicianship to make music that compliments the dirty feel extreme metal should have, if you want less gritty stuff then listen to power metal or some genre that isn't metal
>>61940392
I prefer the term diluted as opposed to mixed. Piece Of Time by Atheist is truly a great blend of thrashy death metal and jazz, guitarpro wank bands like Obscura on the other hand dilute the genre with overly flashy tech worship
>>61940537
>>61940547
Seriously, what's with all the Abbath and Immortal circlejerk recently
>>61940547
it's alright
>>61940572
>>61940578
I don't see a problem considering immortal was the best black metal band of all time until inquisition came along
>>61940578
>one of the biggest black metal artists releases an album
I wonder why
>>61940474
Well, I really dont think they have a shit quality album, but maybe we can say they didnt catch their old songs quality. But again, they were still pretty good.
To me insomniums only big problem is its song masterings. I can clearly hear the hissing sound in background in most of their songs. Kinda ruins the experience for me.
>>61940578
They released a new album and immortal has some of the best black meal album in their discography
>>61940552
I would say that while ATWW was 9/10, the other 2 were 7 and last one was 6/10, the biggest problem with Insomnium though is that they simply ran out of ideas, I don't expect them to change dratically, but they should try something else before teir music turns too stale like Amon Amarth
>>61940547
I liked it
>>61940547
I think it's a solid 8/10, mostly because i really like his side project I so obviously I liked the new album
>>61940572
>You can be techy/proggy while still retaining the feel of being raw and heavy
Sure, but Focus doesn't sound "raw and heavy" to me outside of a few songs (neither does Atheist's Elements) and I think those are both awesome albums.
>>61940606
Another good example
Mystic Places at Dawn by Septicflesh is also an amazing album, especially when it comes to doing death metal that has more prog than death.
What did you think of this album? Who do you think are the anonymous members?
Anyone knows who designed the artcover?
I personally liked it a lot, very original in a subgenre that sometimes struggles to release actual good shit.
>Hell Awaits is better than Reign In Blood
>>61940655
If only that was the problem
They sound pretty shit live now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6x9Vx12tOI
>>61940666
>>61940655
I can agree with pretty much all of that, except I'm the kinda fag who thinks ATWW is a 10/10.
>>61940673
Focus actually can retain that raw sound of death metal, too bad Cynic had to use the worst vocals they could for it.
>>61940606
Did this shitty Scarufficore officially become a meme here?
>>61940547
It's great, best bm so far this year
>>61940673

>>61940692
>Not having Show No Mercy among your favorite Slayer album.
>>61940572
Most prog metal has high quality production
>>61940684
Overall it's pretty boring, it has a couple of great moments later in the album though, 6/10
>>61940716
No, but hating on it is the best new meme.
>>61940684
I liked it but I'd have to be in a certain mood to appreciate it more
What rating do you think you will give this album?
>>61940762
Lots of well-regarded 80s albums also have good production. I've always found the whole "metal needs to be raw and dirty" attitude a little silly.
>>61940832
10/10
>>61940832
0.5
>>61940763
A friend of mine thought at it was a shame the songs didn't last longer. I guessed what he was trying to say is that the band didn't fully developped the atmosphere and texture.
I kind of agree with him, but I thought it was great despite that. For example, the voice samples are thoughtfully put, in a way that you don't hear often (or that I've haven't heard much at least). It's a small thing, but it struck me as pretty inventive on their part.
>>61940832
5/10 If I feel generous
>>61940832
I won't listen to it because I don't have time for music anymore.
>>61940832
The trailer showed potential for a "so bad it's good" album, probably my favourite genre, but listening to the tracks it's just ordinary mediocre prog

Since the only thing about Dream Theater that's progressive is the decline in quality of their albums, I estimate it'll be the worst thing since, well, their last album.
Some anon recommended me a song by Vehemence a few days ago and I ended up listening to the whole album God Was Created, I like pretty much all the songs on it.

Guys, I'm pretty jaded when it comes to music these days, all kinds of music. Pretty much the only thing I listen to is Dissection's "Storm of the Light's Bane" over and over and that's just when I am driving.
Is there anything better than that album or anything that is on par that I might have missed over the years?

DUDE RIFFS
>>61943645
fuck man i've been looking to get into that album for so long but i can't get into the czech lyrics
>>61943696
you mean like you can't get into the lyrics because you can't into czech or it's just that you don't like the way czech lyrics sound?
>>61943825
nah it's because i can't into czech, czech language is awesome, up there with french and italian for me
>>61943880
yeah, being able into czech is definitely something you need to fully enjoy the album
i mean you can always just look the translated lyrics up in case they're laying around somewhere but you'll never get "Lexikon", which is my favorite song off the album, unless you have basic czech vocabulary and know some of the rules making the language what it is
czech language is incredibly flexible but very little to no music artists use it to its full potential
>>61943994
it's pretty much that way for all of hip-hop, if i don't know the language i can pretty much fuck off and that leaves me frustrated
