Anyone ever listened to Profanum? And is there anything else like them?

They weren't core enough to stay alive in that scene, but also not enough... whatever else to branch out like some other bands.
>>65867628
I just remembered them right now after hearing some new Skeletonwitch, which I used to play along with 3IoB in the car on my way to High School, good stuff, also one of the guitarist had a great Judas Priest tattoo.

I don't like the drums. The rest is pretty standard and ok.
Drums are really bad imo, they don't sound old school if that was the intention, nor well mixed... it's a bit quiet, especially what needs to really hit, like the snare.
>>65870409
yeah, we lack the recording gear for the drums. the drums were recorded with one room mic and one kick mic
>>65870218
I like it, same for me the productions on drums is a bit strange, I would have put less reverb (especially on cymbals) and would prefer a more punchy and clear snare.
Same for the voice, less reverb and more straight in face would have be nicer. (I really like the passage with the backing growl).
But it's really good mate keep it on
>>65866492
As much as I fucking love groove metal, Anomalies is an absolute masterpiece of songcraft. The way all the riffs are arranged to be as jarring and violent as possible... it FEELS 10x heavy than any other slam album I've heard except 7H Target, Jenovavirus and parts of the Short Bus Pile up full-length
Who's the Coldplay of metal?

Is this the rawest you can get?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSKGOWt94s8
>>65870492
There's a trick for when you lack mics for drums.
You have two, so what I would do is...
Mic the kick properly, it has to be tight af.
Now, put the mic facing the snare side... like above the kick to the snare, but not above the snare, also not completely next to it.
Play with the placement a bit (depends on mic after all) you can get the snare and hi hat and ride and so on all around with good dynamics that way.
Good luck, use a metronome and track drums independent from the rest, and the rest from the drums.

what else would i like?
>>65871159
THEY ARE FRENCH
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>65871380
try tesseract, leprous and protest the hero
>>65871380
Haken and Leprous are some good modern prog bands
>>65871344
Its when you know something is shit but you still like it
>>65871410
>>65871404
haken and protest the hero are proge trash but leprous is GOAT and tesseract are decent.
>>65871277
I think My Arms, Your Hearse is one of the best Metal albums.
The only other album I like by Opeth is Blackwater Park, but I wouldn't rate it as high.
I dislike everything else, so I find it difficult to find common ground with the fans and go to their shows.
I also like Origin, all their records.
>>65871461
How is Haken thrash???

>>65871543
>wanky
>meme-tier
>>65871522
Bad wording.
I like the first albums, like many, but MAYH is like top 10 for me, BP would be like top 50 or less, and the rest maybe top 100-200, everything past BP just lost appeal to me, and the fanbase never helped. So I guess I could like everything but I just feel put off by the context, hence why it's a guilty pleasure... not because I think they are shit, but because it's not something I can listen with others and chill or discuss nicely.
i found old guitar pros i wrote as a kid, apparently i made a lot of slams.

At this point you just go to a Sunn O))) or Spawn of Possession (or whatever cool revered band in a niche) show with whatever black shirt you took, maybe Kiss, maybe Judas, maybe Blind Guardian, enjoy the show and that's it.

This super dorky Enya/Disney movie tier shit?
I mean, I'm just baiting with how I word it, but I do dislike it to death and is one of some reasons I can't like the album.
Dunno, I think it's not that great, it's just like a last hurrah to the last thrash wave but it's more hyped than I think it's worth.
Maybe when I listen to it again later in half a year or a year or more I'll come to like it.

How can people still like Converge after the last two turds they put out
>>65872754
Well since you like Converge, start from bands that have played with them?
As I Lay Dying, Unearth, Metalcore basically, then you get into whatever other entry level bands of other genres, you'll probably like the fast paced death metal, groove stuff, or crossover thrash stuff.
>>65872792
Converge is better than 90% of metal

Prog, it's hard to not get bored of what you thought were super complicated shit, then you learn theory and see that's it's just riff over a key and soloing over a mode of the key.
I still like some bands, but a lot I come back to and think for fucks sake.
Necrophagist for example, that one I can't listen to it anymore.
Sludge is still comfy, especially because I love driving while listening to it.
Thrash too, basically after highschool, I still go to shows and so on, but I don't identify with the scene nor like 99% of the bands. Only like basic bitch stuff like old school bands, and the main common new ones except havok.

>>65873794
Hey. That was my honest opinion, not a meme. It's melodic black metal that puts melody as the compositional focus instead of any other factor like ambiance or aggressiveness. It does what bands that play symphonic black metal try but can't mange to do (not to say that it's a bad style because I like it).

I'm sure in the 90s bands like Burzum or Darkthrone seemed novel or even edgy but if you're gonna bother making music, your songwriting needs to be good.
Burzum at least writes good songs, and other black metal bands at the time were trying, but most of that shit is a waste of time.
I'm not even complaining about the production quality and/or choices. I swear to shit it sounded like one of the Darkthrone songs I listened to today was basically about the guys getting the boys together to rough up some bullies at high school, but it was either a phyrric victory or however you spell it or they got beat up themselves. They just used black metal words like "sword", "darkness", "blast", "crimson", "horizon", "baphomet", "ice", "frost". As much as I like Dissection's music, their lyric writing is directionless.
I gave the shit an honest listen, but most of it is juvenile, babby's first attempt at making music.
Maybe in the future I'll work backward on a band's discog and stop when they start getting puerile.
I'm glad the scene existed though. BM is the Silent Hill of music.
>>65875853
>BM is the Silent Hill of music
What did he mean by this?
>>65875925
