Prove it.
Lads, I think As the Stars might actually be better than Torn Beyond Reason.
Just putting it out there.

Why are you asking me? I haven't listened to them.
>>65317280
Why are you replying to me? I didn't ask that.
>>65317212
It's an obscure and blackened thrash album from the late 80's tape trading days that became decently known as an ironic joke due to the intentionally grating vocal style and overly vulgar lyrics, liking it makes you look like you know more about metal than you really do and thusly allows you to seem even more obnoxious with oretentious opinions. If unfounded elitism over purposefully obscure inside jokes isn't metal then I don't know what is.
>>65317012
I liked this album, and really all of HWIII's stuff way more than I expected to.
>>65317327
See now why couldn't you just do that last thread instead of devolving into nonsense arguments?
I fucking hate looking at this album cover so much. It's just gross. And not even the cool kind of gross, like Pervertor. I'm talking like, the goregrind kind of gross. I can literally smell this album cover and it smells awful. Like poop or, you know, throw up or something.

Anyone here seen Skeletonwitch with the new vocalist yet? Im not liking what I'm seeing so far...
Saw them a few years back when Chance left and they played without vocals which was pretty neat actually, and theyre coming around again somewhat soon.
>>65319080
And? How is this bad? Literally just a thrash vocal thing.
>>65319080
Says the guy who likes vektor
>>65319087
>Anyone here seen Skeletonwitch with the new vocalist yet?
yeah and I fucking loved it but it was my introduction to them
>>65319139
The song opens up with its main riff which temporarily stops at about 0:05. This silence is sustained until 0:06 where vocalist Tomas Lindberg yells "GO" to disrupt the pause. The riff resumes shortly after.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URhmC865SGI

So? He didn't deny it, he just asked why it was bad.
>>65319302
>Stop and pause
At around 0:05 the riff does just that so, in the brief silence, Tomas Lindberg can scream "Go" before the guitarists resume playing the same riff. At 1:34 Tomas Lindberg yells "Do it" right before a guitar solo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URhmC865SGI
>>65319334
good call and I agree but I thought it fit
although I admit I was drunk and desperate
oogo boogo me tiod booga
>>65319345
The way it is arranged is meant to imply that Tomas' vocal command is what forced the riff to resume playing.

>>65319391
So? Voivod did it too. Are they shit now?
https://youtu.be/kFEB6Mn0rw4?t=2m38s
>>65319452
And your point is...?
>>65319456
It pauses briefly for a little over a second. Within that respite Tomas Lindberg yells the word "Go" and the riff resumes immediately.
>>65319495
So you're saying he says go while the riff is playing and it continues, then stops briefly before beginning again
>>65311319
you wot?
>>65319495
not that guy but what does the riff do? what does he shout?
>>65319495
what do you mean though?
>>65319495
does it feature Bjorn sprudka man?
>>65319546
I have no idea. It's not even a noisy piece.
>>65319481
The first seven seconds on the title track of At The Gates' critically acclaimed fourth album 'Slaughter of the Soul' consists of a riff (the main melody to which the song is structured around) being played for roughly five seconds. There is a brief pause afterwards which provides enough time for Tomas Lindberg to interject the phrase "Go" right before the same riff resumes. The first seven seconds of the song were structured in a way to present At The Gates frontman Tomas Lindberg as having control over the flow of the music.
>>65319630
Prove it.
>>65319630
I don't think that was the intention, can you post a better video?
______ - _____
>>65319720
Bjorn - Feel the speed
>>65319529
Quite the contrary, he says "Go" when the riff stops playing and it resumes after he utters the phrase.
>>65319571
The riff plays for about five seconds and briefly stops. Tomas Lindberg then uses the second for which the riff has paused to yell "Go" which is followed by the riff resuming.
>>65319589
For the first five seconds of the song the main riff is played. It stops. Tomas Lindberg then yells "Go" and it resumes.
>>65319591
It features Tomas Lindberg on vocals, Anders Björler and Martin Larsson on guitars, Jonas Björler on bass, and Adrian Erlandsson on drums.
Guys
Guys
Guys
Holy shit
Guys
>>65319761
not true
>>65319761
And you're saying this Thomas Lintbern character is being controlled by these riffs, as some kind of mouthpiece?
>>65319761
What band is this? What album? Where exactly on that album?
>>65319789
what nigga
>>65319761
When does this "riff" stop? What kind of riff is it?
>>65319761
But how can you be sure that it isn't the guitarist that is telling him to yell?
>>65319761
What key is the riff in?
>>65319831
Imagine if Vektor and Gojira teamed up to make a split.
>>65319655
The main riff can be heard from 0:00 to the end of 0:05. From the end of 0:05 to the end of 0:06 tge riff stops playing and Tomas Lindberg yells "Go" within that time period. At the beginning of 0:07 the riff resumes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URhmC865SGI
>>65319688
In this video you can clearly hear a riff being played for the first five seconds only to stop for about 1 second pause. In that moment of silence for the guitars Tomas Lindberg yells the phrase "Go" and immediately afterwards you hear the riff start up again. The fact that Tomas yelled "Go" after the riff paused and before it resumed in the narrative implies that his utterance of the phrase was the logical step in resuming the riff after it paused.
>>65319798
Quite the opposite, the fact that he yells "Go" before the riff starts again places him with dominion over how the guitars play.
>>65319817
At The Gates on their album Slaughter of the Soul, the song is the second track.
>>65319854
It stops roughly 5 seconds in. It is a melodic riff that features consonant notes placed after open string chugs in the manner of thrash metal but at a far slower tempo.
>>65319942
this general would officially be dead
>>65319952
Now why is this bad?
>>65319890
Tomas' voice is the only one heard
>>65319917
If I am correct At The Gates tune down to B
>>65319981
no it wouldn't vektor and gojira are shitty forced newfag memes, only way /metal/ would be dead if deathspell and ROTN made a split
>>65319996
It's not bad, if you're a fan of Disturbed or something.
>>65319996
Slaughter of the Soul is a melodic death metal album, a subgenre of death metal. Despite this the title track features a guitar riff being played for five seconds only to pause for a moment that allows Tomas Lindberg to yell "Go" before it resumes.
>>65320002
But he could be acting one of the other bandmembers directions.
You're doing it again, making all these assumptions based on nothing. It's very faulty logic.
what song has the most riffs
>>65320011
No those shitty forced memes are bad, only my shitty forced memes are good
>>65320067
whoops, fixed
>>65320054
I must go off of what I can hear within the song, even if a band member ordered him to perform as such the song is still arranged to imply that Tomas is in control. Whether he is or isn't matters not to how it is presented.
>>65320040
But why is that bad?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RFmCENIFSs
:20
>>65320107
>Whether he is or isn't matters not to how it is presented.
what? Are you trying to pull some old english bullshit on us?
>>65320107
>arranged to imply that Tomas is in control
Not necessarily. A riff precedes him speaking, and pauses to let him to speak. It is the one in control; he only speaks because it allows it. You don't hear him telling it to stop do you?
>>65320119
that's probably the best jumpdafuck performance i've seen, sorry
>>65320113
Despite At The Gates being a band within the death metal genre, the song Slaughter of the Soul features a riff that is interrupted and followed by Tomas Lindberg screaming "Go" before it resumes.
>>65320180
See this is what I was talking about.
>>65320200
And this has negative connotations to you? How?
>>65320180
That is an interesting view but allow me to play devil's advocate. What if the riff stopped of its own volition but Tomas Lindberg's yelling of the phrase "Go" commanded the riff to continue even if against its own will? This presents Tomas Lindberg as not only as the one in power, but as a tyrant who forces riffs to play regardless of consent.
>le im the new autistic trip with a funny gimmick and autism guy
fuck off, seriously
>mfw newfags think shitposting is hilarious
>>65320269
>>65320260
we're actually having a serious music discussion please stop interrupting
>>65320226
Because it is framed in a way that presents Tomas Lindberg as the one with power over the riffs.
>>65320251
Not at all, if anything the dual representations of power (the riff allowing Tomas to speak, and Tomas in turn urging the riff to continue) imply a sort of harmony and team effort, as if to reinforce that they are not individual musicians, but something more. They are together a musical force to be reckoned with.
>>65320280
No you're not, you're not discussing anything of value.
>>65320296
And what perspective lends you to believe this is bad?
>>65320305
you cant tell me whats of value and what isnt. you're not my real dad.
>>65320296
kill yourself
>>65320298
Another way of viewing it, I can feel the exhaustion in the riff after five seconds and see Tomas' command as an affront against allowing the riff to rest, you do not.
>>65320318
My own perspective
>>65320200
tomas lindberg screams loads of things over the course of the album. in fact, mere seconds after shouting "GO" he begins screaming again, and continues to do so through out the duration of the song.
>>65320180
But the vocalist is expressly issuing the command for the riff to resume when he tells it to "GO". What else meaning could you possibly derive from such an utterance? Who is to "GO"?
>>65320367
You imagine things, and you make assumptions, as you always have. This is an intellectual failing of yours.
So anyways how is that bad? What's the logic of your perspective?
>people are just throwing the same sentence at each other for the entire thread
>""""serious discussion"""""
this new trip is worse than proge
>>65320400
What if he isn't talking to the riff?
What if
he's talking to us?
>>65320400
>expressly issuing the command
Prove it, and you're ignoring the will of the riff.
>>65320420
So report him
>>65320367
kill yourself
>>65320380
Tomas' screaming throughout the album is moreso descriptive, he describes emotions he feels and views he has. The utterance of the single word "Go" however is a command, unlike most of the lyrics on the album.
>>65320411
That the style of presenting Tomas Lindberg as in control of the riffs by sequentially placing his command "Go" in between the riff starting and stopping is not a good example of songwriting especially in a death metal format.
>>65320520
But what makes it a bad example of songwriting?
And again, the riff precedes him, beginning without his say. In fact, Tomas is the middle man. The riff tells him to get the rest of the band together, to set the timing and pacing of the song by shouting go, which he does, obediently.
>>65320520
kill yourself
>>65320576
The commanding nature of Tomas' vocal line makes the whole song feel forced, as if it's a creation made at shotgun point over a naturally flowing song
>The riff tells him to get the rest of the band together, to set the timing and pacing of the song by shouting go, which he does, obediently.
This will need elaboration however
>>65320609
What needs elaboration is how you can see Tomas as ringleader if he does not begin the song. The riff, by beginning the song clearly establishes dominance and directs Tomas.
>The commanding nature of Tomas' vocal li... yadda yadda yadda
so what?
>>65320609
Kill yourself
>>65320630
Tomas might not begin the song but he steals the attention.
>so what?
So what to that
>>65320670
kill yourself
>someone gets a trip
>acts like a faggot for no reason
>ruin the board
Why do people do this? It's not the act of tripping, I tripped for like a month to see if that's the case and nothing happened. I don't get why people think this is a good idea.

>>65321009
You're all talk anon.
>>65320670
So what as in so what if he "steals the attention" or if "Tomas' vocal line makes the whole song feel forced"?
He's clearly not the one in control. The riff enters first like a classic alpha male and directs it's second in command, Tomas, to rally the band and set the pacing.
>>65320609
have you considered that his shout is only meant to punctuate the beginning of the riff, the pause creating a brief yet satisfying moment of tension before the resumption of the music, with the shout serving as a personal expression of his own energy being released, i.e., to let "go", rather than a command to the rest of the band?
>>65321074
I'd do it in a second if I were a mod.
>>65321178
He hasn't considered shit. He's focused on his own interpretation with with a sniper's rifle and refuses to see he may be wrong, and there are things his version does not account for.
>>65321211

It's a wave of post new-irony after somebody implied a power metal song was doom metal because it was written by a doom metal band. Next hip meme is to pretend power metal is doom metal.

4chan in general.
One guy memes and the people around him start forcing the meme and then the memes get out of control. It turns into a choir of random white noise, but if you listen closely you can deduce that the white noise is made up of memes.
What is your favourite melodoom album?
