Have you listened to Black One by Sunn O)))? Seriously one of the coolest albums I've ever heard.

>Metal itself is the worst kind of plebian music. Far from the vaulted halls of greats like Beethoven, Miles Davis, The Beach Boys, and Led Zeppelin (who did not spawn this most ugly and warted of "music" styles), Heavy Metal music is designed not to elevate one to the higher plane of consciousness, nor to guide one into quiet meditation of the aesthetic and the philosophical, nor to allow one and one's peers to engage in rousing hullabaloo and youthful exuberance, but is rather designed first and foremost to confirm the beliefs of societal failures that they are strong, or powerful, or that their dark, angry thoughts are both perfectly normal and perfectly acceptable in modern society.

>Unfortunately, for them, Heavy Metal's true place is in the rubbish bin. Riotous "music" about conquering women, or beating up people who look at you queerly, or dragons and fairies, or Adolph Hitler, or snowy forests and cold winters, is not a music for the educated or the sophisticated. The first two subjects are too in common with another of the type of "music" youths today listen to--Hip Hop, with it's loud atonal beats, slurring vocalists, and subject matter that would make any mum squeamish. The third subject puts today's Heavy Metal listeners in the same category as dropout fantasy freaks who cannot hold a simple job and will never find a woman with little enough self respect to undress in front of them. The fourth category is arguably the most demented of all, as no sane individual would hold a monster of that calibre in high regards. The fifth category, songs about nature, would be perfectly fine, if the musical tonality and physically dangerous vocal "performance" didn't ruin it straight away. A song about a forest must invite feelings of awe and beauty, and thus a true musician like Stravinsky can properly cover this subject matter with the respect and denigration it deserves. Off colour "musical" styles like Heavy Metal cannot bring one this feeling.

Heavy metal is the default genre.
All other SUB (see why it's called sub you fucking ignorant cocksucker) genres derive from it.
>>
>>63559139
Heavy metal is the term generally used for the classic sound of heavy metal. Bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Saxon, Accept, Manilla Road, etc.
The default genre is just "Metal".
I agree that "Heavy Metal" was the default genre until about September 1996 but then "Metal" took that position.

Musically it's pretty damned fine. Vocally I'm not a fan. It's like he can't decide if he wants to be clean or "harsh" and isn't spectacular at either. Not that it's bad, by any means. It just (for me, at least) lets the album down.

Electric Wizard and Kyuss are both pretty good stoner metal. Since you like drone, I'd suggest Naked City's Leng Tch'e. It's weird as fuck but easily one of my favorite drone metal albums. If you're looking to branch out into other subgenres of metal, try some Darkthrone, Mastodon, or Agalloch.

Cannibal Corpse is actually worse than Agalloch, IMO

i kinda feel like they're trying to go for a deftones/"adult contemporary metal" vibe without sacrificing their own identity completely

>>63560742
how does it feel fulfilling everything stereotypical attribute of a metalhead

>>63560740
to be honest once you remove yourself from the underground elitist mentality and figure out why things are popular - there's usually many good reasons for it (in the world of marketing at least)
>>
>>63560728
bland and derivative songwriting made for the sake of appealing to a wider audience + whiny lyrics, no wonder it's so popular
>>
>>63560748
Nah, cc has way better musicianship and songwriting, your opinion on metal is completely worthless either way when you think immortal is shit though
>>
>>63560794
you wouldn't think it was popular though, but lo and behold - it is

i'd say "bland and derivative" is a negative way of saying "pop influenced songwriting" which i don't see as a bad thing (when you're in the mood for something easy to digest)
>>
>>63560796
more notes is not "better songwriting"

CC is the antithesis of "good songwriting" - it's just trying to be heavy and fast

Agalloch has a lot of variety which means that a lot of their shit is really really meh. But they have a lot of very memorable stuff. I can hear the riff from "Falling Snow" clearly in my head. I can't remember any CC songs, even though I could name some - "Hammer Smashed Face", for example. But too bad the name is more memorable than the song, even though I've heard it I don't remember how it sounds like. Probably just chugga chugga death metal.

There exist none of those chicks.
>>
>>63560825
>which i don't see as a bad thing (when you're in the mood for something easy to digest)
I agree with that but there's much better pop music, or "easily digestible metal" per say, you could listen to than later In Flames.
>>
>>63560844
they're both good bands that do their own things well

if cannibal corpse were some sort of third-tier death metal band like, i dunno, broken hope - i'd see where you're coming from, but cannibal corpse have been consistently good for the people that want in your face death metal. it works for them.

same with agalloch (or fi you want a third-rate version: falloch) doing their folky black metal thing but it's more for atmosphere rather than riffs, so you can't really compare the two?

i definitely have to disagree with you on immortal though. they are quite literally the KISS of black metal (in the best possible way)
>>
>>63560793
don't get me wrong, I like pop music, could even say I love some of the pop tunes actually, I just don't see the appeal of Siren Charms, SoaPF was at least catchy and had some great choruses
>>
>>63560844
It's not more notes you jackass, cc wrote some of the best riffs of all time, if you can't get into brutal death metal don't spread your horribly misenterpreted cancerous opinion on this board

>>
>>63560852
give me some reccs because i love that shit ahah. my favourite pop metal bands used to be mid/late-era soilwork and sonic syndicate (guilty pleasures) but i'm sure there's some underrated gems out there.

saying that i guess power metal can sometimes fall into "pop metal" with it's blatant verse/chorus/guitar solo shit. literally just 80s hard rock anthems pumped up with eurometal steroids (never a bad thing)

i'm not gonna lie i really enjoy the verse/chorus pop structure being injected into metal.

Hypocrisy is a band that has done it for ages and never really got any flack for it (except on Catch-22 cause muh nu-metal tainting)
>>

>My sister loves peste noire

Immortal has its moments, but it just pales in comparison to Windir.

>>63560889
this is better brutal death metal than anything cannibal corpse released:

>>
>>63560888
yeah i have to agree siren charms takes a while to sink in strangely enough, which isnt good for a pop album

SOAPF and albums before were way catchier.

once siren charms does sink in it's a genuinely decent album but still probably one of their worst compared to their back catalogue

i think a new audience not familiar with in flames would enjoy it a lot more
>>
>>63560900
Dark Tranquillity and Amorphis are the obvious ones
>>
More like this?
>>
>>63560912
heh Windir is a completely different kettle of fish altogether

Immortal is just pure ridiculous in your face black metal epic cheese but Windir paints a more introverted atmospheric image for sure

i'd probably have to say I prefer Windir myself.
Journey To The End was a big favourite of mine back in the day
>>
>>63560728
Literally the biggest JUST in metal history since Matallica and Annihilator

But then when I discovered Windir I had to downgrade it because of how much more I enjoyed Windir. It's like I discovered the scale doesn't go to 10, but 20

most symphonic metal falls under the pop metal category as well, lots of modern prog metal has the "verse/chorus" structure too
I wouldn't dare to say my favorite "pop metal" bands but some of the stuff I enjoy the most is Ghost's Meliora was pretty great poppy trad doom/metal, latest Mechina album could be a great contender for this too, some Amon Amarth doesn't hurt either
and of course my modern favorites from this category are Skyharbor, Vola and Twilight Force

mechina, skyharbor and vola are very very good shouts. might have to re-listen to that vola album as i remember really enjoying it last time.

as for twilight force i see them being hyped a lot as "the most power" power metal band so i need to check that shit out too.

as we're in the false metal thread i feel obliged to post my favourite pop metal song on the core side of things... be warned though, i'd probably hold your nose before you step in to the arena...

as i said before power metal is already fairly pop influenced most of the time, but yeah this is great 10/10 cheese, love it. next time im in a power metal mood ill have to listen to this start to finish

oh god even though this is insanely catchy and well done i'm not weeby enough for this hahah

just makes me think that when did metal start breaking free from it's catchy music sensibilities?

i mean yeah sure death metal with it's riff frenzy is definitely there, and black metal with it's atmosphere. but thrash did tend to experiment with its song structures quite a bit as well. i guess anything injected with punk you lose that verse/chorus effect? (id hardly call dead kennedys or discharge pop)

music's split into three categories, pop music, art music and traditional music.

pop music is just music meant to be taken at face value or to entertain, art music is music meant to be analyzed, and traditional music is just music passed down culturally.

metal is pop music.
