first for GOAT obscure shit
1st for Kvelertak
why the fuck did death 'n' roll never took off?
>>65102705
keeping a backlog would be useless for me since i listen to the album after i download it and then possibly never listen to it again and download a new one again, and i'm okay with listening to whatever so i don't even have specific bands or albums i want to check out
Where is the new Katalepsy?
>>65102716
well, fuck
>>65102718
Is the new album any good?
>>65102720

It's great IMO.
>>65102752
nu metal took off
metalcore took off
deathcore took off
BABYMETAL is taking the world by storm.
death 'n' roll is basically the same formula.maybe the world isn't ready for it yet, idk.
>>65102807
it just happened at a wrong place and a wrong time desu, if nu-metal happened in the 80s it probably wouldn't have taken off either
Boring
>>65102716
That album cover almost looks like something I'd expect to see on the cover of some "deep" seinen manga in the late 80s.

why is tech death the worst fucking genre ?
>>65103256
Because it's not since melodeath still exists
>>65103256
Because plebs took all the wrong lessons from Suffocation, Cryptopsy, etc. No sense of atmosphere or songwriting. Just brickwalled production, shitty riffs, and nonstop blastbeats.
>why is [x] thing

every time
>>65103290
what about shitty filler solos ?
I swear I will never get memed into listening to tech death again. I used to like cryptopsy but it doesnt do anything to me anymore.
the drum mastering is so fucking good holy shit
this is the best.

pic related, best album so far from 2016.
even a new bon jovi record, fucking gross.
My favorite metal bands are Behemoth,Scar Symmetry,Pain salvation,neurosis,Slayer and Coroner.
How pleb am I ?
>>65103547
Coroner's the only great band you listed
the other border from terrible to decent, save for slayer who released a few nice albums
>>65103495
you lmao
>>65103547
Slayer and behemoth are really 50/50. coroner is sick though, rest of those bands eat shit.
>>65103619
>>65103581
Even Holographic Universe is bad ? The riffs are catchy,the spacey atmosphere of the album is great and the chance between the clean vocals and harsh create a perfect balance.Also it has good hooks,something most of your fav metal lacks.
>>65103662
il admit i do have scar and neurosis in my library, i havnt listened to them in a long time, but i just dont get the appeal anymore. they are both very bland bands.
x japan releasing their first album since 1996 in october
>"I want to bring back the old X sound. Too often is the modern visual kei scene focused on style over substance and too focused on the irrelevant details over the greater picture. It's time we show other bands what their roots really are. Visual Kei was hijacked by stylists who make music, no longer is it for musicians who wear style. We're bringing back the metal, the speed, the power, the passion in Visual Kei."

Doubt it, re-union albums are never good. Admirable that he sees modern VK for the pansy flower faggotry that it is though.
>>65103785
>Admirable that he sees modern VK for the pansy flower faggotry that it is though.
Don't buy into Yoshiki's bullshit, he's the sole reason visual kei turned into corporate flower faggotry in the first place by telling random indie metal/indie rock bands to split up and then forming "super groups" out of the best members from these bands, and then put them on big labels to shill them. Yoshiki, and Kamijo from Versailles literally ghost-write most of the flower metal and pussy rock you hear from the modern VK, effectively ruining the genre since the old thrash/power/speed sound effectively died, and then has the balls to pretend that he had nothing to do with it.
Yoshiki killed visual kei because he's a moneyhungry slanty-eyed jew who wants his shekels and now is just raising publicity by saying "w-we want to save visual kei".
>>65103847
>Yoshiki, and Kamijo from Versailles literally ghost-write most of the flower metal and pussy rock you hear from the modern VK

>"most of these bands can't write songs"
>"they script your between-song banter so you don't sound like an idiot"
>"A typical visual kei performer is an ex-bosozoku or ex-chinpira, a high-school drop out"
>"In the beginning, one of the things I found the most ironic, was these band members: these very tough-talking street guys, playing these very femme-y, androgynous roles which were straight out of a shojo manga"
>"the label owner sets his sights on the best members from 3 or 4 small, go-nowhere bands, and tries to persuade them to leave their bands and form a super-band"
>"I can give you an example l:DIR EN GREY is made up of members from a few bands"
>""'Roadie chains' are another interesting phenomenon of Visual Kei! Here's one example: KOROYUME was a band, their roadies went on to form dir en grey, which had the same image! And Dir en Grey's roadies formed a band called THE GAZETTE. Another example. . .MALICE MIZER's roadie was named Kamijo(the vocalist for versailles) - a year later, he was in his own band called LAREIME, which looked and sounded like MALICE MIZER. In fact, he started a label called ARTIST'S SOCIETY, and all the bands on that label sound like MALICE MIZER (because he's the producer - he wrote all the music!)"
>""SATOH-SAN: There's lots of stories about musicians prostituting themselves. TDR:"You mean prostitute as in host club? Or as in, they got an ad in the back of gay pornos in the OUTCALL MASSAGE section? SATOH-SAN: Well, six of one, half a dozen the other"
>Yoshiki from x-japan started all of this
You'll also notice that most random j-power bands just spring up randomly out of no where and within the first year of forming they somehow have the money and funds for expensive music videos, and are signed by the labels most often accused guilty of ghost-writing.
The modern Visual Kei scene is a fraud.
What's some /metal/ approved blues music?
What are the best black metal + ambient albums?
>>65104048
>>65103906
Nearly all VK post 00 is fake, save for the few modern VK bands that sound like bands from the 80s and 90s.
The only j-power bands around right now that aren't fake are the ones who actually ghost-write the music in the first place, or j-power bands who aren't associated with visual kei at all, like galneryus.

Dir en Grey recently broke away from those labels, which is why they've been a lot more progressive lately. They don't rely on their labels to write their music anymore.

More specific? Most DSBM has a strong emphasis on ambiance. Stuff like Darkspace, mid-era SieghetnaR and the obvious Burzum/Burzum clones (the good ones) are your best choices, I think.

none, and it will stay that way, 20% of /Metal/ are normal metaheads who listen to what they want, and dont get up in arms when someone likes band x, the other 80% consists of those who get severly pissed off when someone gives a bad review on an atmosphere band, sunbather, or vektors new album.

Black metal, like all european metal, is aesthetically stagnant. It's what happens when Power Metal turns 14 and becomes edgy.
Compare the aesthetics of US metal genres like sludge, stoner, grunge, death, etc to european genres like melodic death, power and black metal and it becomes apparent that europe is infantile, sissified and immature.
>>65105308

Ain't talking about the music itself, but the aesthetics surrounding the genre.
Power and black are similar in that both have artists and fans alike dressing up in retarded costumes, wielding LARP weapons and indulging in escapism. Lyrical content is also very similar same old infantile autistic escapism, but now 666 times more edgy.

>when you realize BT recycles riffs
You can tell that black metal is infantile also by the fact that the movement was not politically or socially motivated, it was just a bunch of autists getting together and being edgy.
You only started getting politically driven black metal bands later on, and Varg only came up with his neo-pagan beliefs while in prison, growing more and more autistic from lack of human contact.
He was simply an edgy teenager that got locked up and then came up with his nazi ideology because being edgy wasn't cool anymore. Black metal in a nutshell

>>65105557
Black metal is for autistic manchildren and european metal sucks.
>>65105602
What's your favorite Judas Priest album?
>>65105583
socially, because it's usually about expressing the fact that you're an outcast in society
there's also some political bm but 99% of it is NSBM
there's also bands like mgla with vaguely political lyrics but again that's overwhelmingly in the minority
>>65105583
>>65105630
ok nvm I thought you said black metal
metal in general has a lot more political content, mostly in thrash

You guys should listen to more good metal with good catchy choruses as well as manly riffs like this hit by five finger death punch.
The reason why theyr'e more popular than your favorite metal band is because they're good and not amateurs like your shitty hipster metal bands.

You have it backwards with Terminal Redux
Everything that ruined metal is documented in this one album. This album paints a picture of Animal Collective shirt wearing "professional" photographers heading to Starbucks after smoking too much K2 incense while watching a marathon of Oprah and The Big Bang Theory. It's this single piece of hippy bafoonery that sapped all the creativity out of metal by showing people that they too can make money by playing groove based indie rock with pseudo-intellectual lyrics and throwing naturalist bullshit on t-shirts. It is the prototype for The Sword.
Lyrically, everything that's wrong about metal now is found here. Joe Duplantier in all his LSD induced wisdom thought that, instead of coming up with something interesting to talk about, the mundane themes about the "dying whales" would resonate more with the hipster culture of mainstream America and, unfortunately, he was right. This was one of the key elements that were needed to allow smug suburban youth and pot smoking drum circle dwellers to relate with the stupidity of Gojira. All of these things are best exemplified in the after school special-isms of Ocean Planet and the cheap emotional appeals of Flying Whales and Global Warming. The half-assed poetry attempts suggests not a lot of time was spent on them, and feels more like something Nirvana would have come up with. The change to a more "eco-friendly" appearance in promo pics suggest about as much. These lyrics would make bands in the future reduce themselves to writing about mundane topics (environmentalism, mother nature) and shouting a bunch of faux-poetic words that mean nothing. It's just vague prose to "get people in touch with their earthen roots", like the indie or folk punk songs of the day.
>>65105678
Ivan Moody is such a doucherocket.
This is barely metal aside from some guitar playing techniques. Gojira is really just groove based indie rock in how the focus is placed on sparse 2 note rhythm riffs being played for a "mellowing" grunge derived feel that will allow suburban kids to "get zen to it". It is an urbanized version of drinking bongwater in your semi-homeless neighbor's hammock. By removing all the intellectual aspects out of metal and dumbing it all down to a series of chugga chugga noises and pick scrapes, Gojira remove any heaviness that could be found in Bolt Thrower's groove riffs, further lowering the role of the guitar into being background noise to allow for Duplantier's bird squawking noises ("vocals") to take the forefront. Contrary to Duplantier's "I Hate Alternative Music" shirt he would often sport at this time, the indie-isms in the verse of lead single "Flying Whales" suggest an attempt to also appeal to the whine rock scene of the day since it was the most marketable guitar oriented music they could dress up as metal at that time.
When the home videos are more memorable for the political message than the music, you know this band wasn't good. Unfortunately, liberal pandering and some whale design t-shirts were all it took to sell this "cool" album about "environmentally conscious topics" to the impressionable morons of the day. The birthplace for Mastodon rests in this album.

You know this "one 40 minute death metal song" is going to be bad just from the very beginning. Immediately, you are slammed with a down tuned Korn riff reminiscent of later day Roadrunner Records angst rock, followed by a clean break that is made "heavy" by turning the distortion pedal on again in a manner eerily reminiscent of 2000s angst-y soft-heavy whine rock. It then goes back to that one Korn riff. This is not going to be a good album, but you throw in the Dan Swanö namesake and "progressive/forward thinking" marketing banter and you could fool the masses into believing this is the best thing since sliced bread.
As with most concept albums, the concept to this album is pretty stupid. It feels like what would happen if Children of Men were turned into a Marvel comic: some dystopian future that seems almost entirely ripped off from the novel. Same themes, same story, except with what I assume are "religious" allusions with the child at the center of this story being a Jesus equivalent. Of course, none of this matters since the music relays none of this imagery and comes off like a 40 minute medley that acts as a garbage plate of ideas that were too terrible to even be featured on an album as bad as the Purgatory Afterglow LP than an actual "song".
>>65106419
For starters, none of the music here is organized or structured in any meaningful way, and it's through sheer randomness that this album has falsely attained the "progressive" tag. From the already mentioned Korn-y beginning, we go to "part 2" of this 10 part song, with no real discernible differences between any of the parts. Dan Swanö belts out his clumsily pieced together tale with the faux-growls that would later influence metalcore, whiny clean vocals, and off putting Sisters of Mercy parodying goth crooning (made worse than it already was on previous goth crowd pandering tune Sacrificed). The music is nothing more than a melange of groove metal crap, cheerful mellow-deaf like the "heavy" parts from Amorphis' Elegy, clean whiny indie rock, and worst of all - the "pretending to be extreme" parts. During these parts fast drums play over what sounds like The Somberlain era Dissection playing their favorite parts from old Capcom video games. The music is stylistically fragmented as already mentioned, but it's also emotionally schizophrenic, randomly going from cheerful and cute little pleasant sounds to a roaring ruckus of faux-aggression going into a Rush derivative section and everything in between. That's not progressive, it's random and nonsensical. This album fails on every level, not really knowing what it wants to accomplish and jumping between parts at random that suggests a group of guys sat in a room and pasted together random parts with no rhyme or reason. If you want progressive music that actually has lasting value, conviction, and doesn't pretend by hiding uneventful crap in a 40 minute display of randomness, pick up the second Atheist album. If you were looking for good Swedish death metal instead, skip Edge of Sanity (and pretty much anything on Black Mark that's not Bathory) altogether and pick up the first Dismember and Entombed albums.
>>65106419
This is just an over glorified drink coaster that's more focus group "how will we make people think Edge of Sanity is forward thinking, etc." derived product than the byproduct of artistic intent. Avoid.
What even is this general anymore

Nah fuck the image part I didn't even listen to it because of svanö I wanted good slightly melodic death metal and the riffs are perfect for this type of music.Not sure if baiting but theres nothing similar with this band and korn and your arguments aren't really convincing.

They're just so flamboyant, and in a way that seems like a pop version of black metal from music to aesthetics.
That said, Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia is impressively progressive, but it's just not something I personally enjoy listening to.
Listen and decide for yourself, earlier albums may also be worth a listen.

Mikael can write good acoustic parts, but his attempts at death metal suck, the riffs lack any power or ferocity feeling closer to 70's hard rock than Swedish death metal.I know he's trying to go for a dynamic sound in which the harder death metal parts feel even more sinister when contrasted to the acoustic and blues moments, but that's just a lazy attempt at cashing in on the death metal scene. All in all it's pretty boring but is their best attempt, their first two albums were focused more on making lengthy songs than interesting ones, Still Life was this album with a lot more uninteresting filler (Benighted was the best song on there and the main riff to it is lifted from Never Let Go by Camel) and their 2000's albums grew even more dull probably due to Mikael's aging and Steve Wilson's gift at making everything he touches sound as flat and sterile as possible.

autism speaks,everyone listen.¨
what metal do you like,m8 ?
>>65106419
Yeah this is pretty good, I'm not a fan of death metal in general
>>65106945
not exactly helping the EoS side of the argument
>>65106827
I agree with everything in this post. I hate how Opeth's music is so centered around Mikael's acoustic guitar, but it's apparent that it's what his best at doing. But as you pointed out, even his acoustic parts are stolen so fuck him.
It's was also clear from the start that he always leaned more towards prog than metal, but he can do no better than worship his favorite acts, so when he finally decided to go full prog it ended up sounding dull and uncreative.
>>65106846
A lot
death metal is my favorite but that's mainly the OSDM/revival stuff (I love war metal too but it gets old after listening to it too long)
80's heavy metal whether British or not
Traditional doom and epic doom
Black metal (1st and 2nd wave)
Power metal (The riffier 80's stuff and modern bands in that vein like Blacksword)
Thrash of course but I barely listen to non-80's thrash that isn't mixed with death or black metal
And there's prog I like but it has to be rooted in metal and not feel like derivative prog rock that apes metal for the sake of it
>>65106992
You sound like you have taste generic to this general. Everything you like is mirrored in the vague tastes of /metal/ as a collective.
>5 months in
>still not a single good album
fuck this shit
>>65106982
If Mikael made Damnation in the 90's it would've been a really good album but he waited until he exhausted his most memorable and emotional acoustic melodies from his repertoire to release an extremely boring and forgettable acoustic blues album that only did well because Opeth became more of a brand name than band name at that point.
>>65107054
Have you listened to Vektor, Cuck Noise?
>>65107029
this general exists solely to create people like him now
weak-willed morons who have no identity of their own and instead look to a sort of opt-in peer pressure scheme to form their taste
hopefully by the end of the year there will only be 5 artists left you can actally talk about without getting memed the fuck out
>>65107029
I know
I shitpost enough to the point where impressionable people on this general slowly succumb to my taste in metal, it's pretty fun.
>>65106419
By far the best prog metal album out there and one of the very very few ones that I even like.
>>65106992
ok interesting.
>>65106964
>>65106498
edge of sanity is better than majority of death metal.it being bipolar makes it better because listening to blast beats straight in for an hour is painful and boring.
that being said I will try and get into some other melodeath bands so but of the numerous ones I've heard over the years,only few can really stand against edge of sanity for me so far
>>65107070
>that only did well because Opeth became more of a brand name than band name at that point
the fuck r u talking about m8
lay off the benzos innit
I grew out of metal because i wanted to enjoy my life instead of being angry all the time. Now i listen to Dream Pop, Ambient Pop, Psybient , Chill out, Dream Hop abd Future Garage. Laughing my ass off at your pathetic and miserable lives. There will come the day you regret being a manchild all your life.
>>65107171
He's absolutely right though. By that point Opeth had already established their name and people would eat up anything they'd release.
>>65107213
Okay, good for you I guess.
>>65107171
Blackwater Park by Opeth was the Terminal Redux by Vektor of its day, hell it was much bigger considering it came out at a time when metal was starved for something different whereas Terminal Redux is FOTM crap lost in a sea of redundant and boring FOTM garbage that metal zines make bank off of hyping up.
>>65107213
you think you're superior because you listen to a songless wall of noise ? You sound like an image concerned individual and close minded at that.
>>65107054
AXIOMATIC FACT:
The last good Metal album was A Bustle in Your Hedgerow by Down, 2002.
>>65107243
That doesn't necessarily mean that it was bad.
D&D were pretty great.
>>65106743
is this boogie?
>>65107252
you talk too much 2bh

Vektor - Terminal Redux
Give me good BM from this year. I haven't paid much attention to new releases. Last year was really good actually with multiple top tier albums, but from this year I pretty much just have pic related and nothing else.
My favorite kind of BM is all kinds of folk/pagan shit but I will happily listen to anything that has good riffs/melodies and some sort of point to it (see for example Mgla and Batushka from last year). Generic lo-fi blast beat BM is not something that I'm interested in.

>using an album's reception and critical acclaim to justify why you do or don't like it
always a sign that you're on the wrong side of whatever argument you're having. if you start a sentence with words to the effect of "people only like this because..." you've already lost
give up dude
>>65107377
so what's your opinion on mastodon and baroness
>>65107377
He never did any of that. You sound like a butthurt Opeth fan that misunderstood his posts.
>>65107319
Is...is anyone kind of intrigued by the fact that posting "Vektor - Terminal Redux" was a thread-killing meme? You know, because of the meaning of the words "redux" and "terminal"?
Just me?
>>65107409
Me, my wife, her son, her last husband. and her bull all love Baroness and Mastodon. Prep The Skye is my favorite album of all time.
>>65107440
Just you.

Something something this general is terminal
Something something this general needs a redux

Bittermanposting is the highest level of metal shitposting
>>65107531
Pasta in general is a weaker form of shitposting. Too easy to recognize and dismiss.
>>65107510

>>65107561
bitterman pastas are top quality though.
what's a bitterman pasta
>>65107597
bitterman was the greatest reviewer in M-A.

fuck no i am not going through that much effort

It's the kind of pasta that'll get you three Michelin stars if you serve it in a restaurant

this site is filled with weebs so they set lower standards when the topic is japanese bands.
>>65107700
At least they own their gayness, unlike Black Metal.
>>65107772
How does Gorgoroth not totally own being gay?
>>65107708
>Women and niggers are a plague to the earth
Nah. Just most of them.
>when every single detail is perfect
There is nothing worse than Japanese metalcore.
>>65107845
Hemorrhoids.
>>65107845
Nippon metal of any kind is superior to it's western equivalent.
So I'm not really into metal that much but I listened to pic related and thought it was great. Is there any industrial metal that leans more heavily into pure industrial/noise music?
>>65107885
why would I go there, baka desu?
This still remains to be the best album to come out of progressive deathcore.

>>65107646
oh thanks. I thought he was serious when responding to my post about edge of sanity. I thought /metal/ was this hugely autistic about shit like this.
I guess im still new...
>>65107955
I am not shitposting, and you are a grammar nazi.
>>65107962
It was pasta but it's still fact that EoS is shit.

Breddy gut, desu. I really do enjoy eleven and the second half of carving the world.
>>65107213
It's upsetting to like Future Garage and see a post like this
>>65107962
Bitterman is very accurate though, the albums he hates are absolute garbage (Slaughter of the Soul, The Satanist, Vulgar Display of Power, anything Gojira, pretty much anything on Unique Leader, Portal, Fear Factory)
>>65108045
>Vulgar Display of Power
Don't cut yourself on the edge of your own meme.
Someone shared this with me so I'm here to share it with you. It just dropped yesterday and it sounds tight, I love the bass.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOy0cjoDAvg
>>65107996
Ok that's your opinion and I can see why you wouldn't like it.
It being perfectly dumb melodeath with slower and "proggier" moments creating balance makes it enjoyable to me so far.
>>65108045
To be fair he made retarded points that dont really stand against the album at all. Naming things it's like isnt an insulting at all.
The Satanist is not a bad album at all imo but what do I know :^).
