Has the new Gojira leaked?

>>65519431
No, it will never leak.
What are /metal/'s thoughts on Metal Injection? I'm curious to hear
>>65519477
They never have anything interesting to say and their reviews are bought whenever they review stuff by Nuclear Blast, Roadrunner or other similar labels of size
>>65519431
Yes in 296kb/s
It's shit, don't bother. I'm 8 songs through and it's generic as fuck with bad modern groove thrown in, just go and listen to FMTS and forget Magma exists.

Been listening to a lot of music on Spotify the last month, is there a way to make collages similar to the last.fm ones with that?
>>65519617
Krallice could also be lumped in with them, but they're at least interesting to listen to.

I need to check them out. I've heard good things
>>65519817
To me, at least, scrobbling represent an active active part of music searching, the process of finding out about a band, checking out a sample of them on youtube/spotify(no scrobbling), and finally cataloging them after downloading the album. it's not just simple "pick a random playlist" and continue shitposting type of ordeal.

Any fans of this album here?
Every time this band gets brought up on /mu/ it's usually within the context of "generic atmoshit" but the combined disc version (shit gimmick I know, but they did it better than neurosis imo) is a genuinely intense and layered album.
They have a strong grasp on tension and release & I've always found their music to resonate with me far more than anything by Cult of Luna, Isis, Pelican or whatever other bands were doing something similar around that time.
Their newer albums are shitty, though
>>65520348

>>65521586
You're the kinda guy who goes to a car dealership and tells people to buy a horse, right?
>>65521624
Fyi there's kinda two eras to Cannibal Corpse. One era is their first three albums, and the other is the rest of their stuff (with The Bleeding and Vile being in between). Some people really like one era but not the other, so you may want to check out both (probably Tomb of the Mutilated for the first era and Kill for the second)
whenever i listen to black metal i think my headphones are broken because it sounds like low quality static

Case in point.
Are the tracks in Gorgoroth's first three albums supposed to blend together? (The end of one track is in the first 5 seconds of the next one and so on) or did I just get a bad torrent?

He asked for death metal specifically, dumbtard. You could at least rec good death/doom instead of whatever you posted.
>>65521715
The old stuff has more blunt and harsher production, contains less complexity, and is catchier. I also personally think the later stuff does a much better job of creating a dark atmosphere.
>someone asked for death metal i'll rec him doom and act like a bitch when someone calls me out on it

Yes.
Cannibal Corpse has just as much atmosphere as any other OSDM band. People just overlook it.
To quote from Noktorn regarding "Frantic Disembowlment": "The magnificently textured bridge riff at 1:42 which does exactly the same thing that others laud Ulcerate for but is ignored because it comes from Cannibal Corpse."

I wasn't reacting to the grammar
>>65522079
His grammar matches his opinion.
>>65522069
Realms of Chaos, Symphonies of Sickness, Horrified, Slowly We Rot, Beneath The Remains, World Downfall,
And even if it was, so what? Doesn't make it essential.
>>65522079
Then make a point already.
>>65522122
Clever boi

>>65522122
Actually, there's nothing wrong with his grammar at all...
Unless you're saying his opinion is right.
>>65521955
>does nothing innovative or particularly creative
death metal had never seen drumming as fast as on altars of madness
also the tremolo riffing wasn't entirely original, as death had done similar previously, but nowhere near as fast or as intricate as on altars of madness
>Blessed Are the Sick might be essential
this is a little too obvious for me to justify a serious response
>>65521955
It's you again, you fucking retard.
How many times do I have to tell you that an albums influence is not necessarily measured by its quality you dumbfuck?
>>65522157
Fast but not creative or innovative.
>>65522174
Oh, it's not me again, no one was talking about influence, how many times will I have to tell you that?
>>65522135
Well you have a weird definition of essential then.
>>65522155
He wrote "does" twice in one sentence for the same subject.
>>65522229
That isn't grammar, that's a typo.

Idk why people think he was serious. Phil's obviously not even white himself.
>>65523075
Because people are looking for reasons to be offended
YO YO YO

this guy is probably the biggest trendhopper in music, he even jumped on the SJW bandwagon. I bet machine heads next album will be djent

As the 1990s progressed, death metal emerged as the clear next big thing. This came after nearly a decade of the music industry denying its existence, mocking it, and doing their best to conceal it. A number of them made overtures: if you could just drop the scary alienation, anger and post-human view of the world, maybe The Industry would work for you like it did for the Crue, AC/DC, etc. At this point, Chuck Schuldiner of Death was putting a lot of effort into making himself the founding father of death metal, and he fired his previous band for a mostly new group who came up with a heavy metal/death metal hybrid. That alone would have been bad, but what was worse was that he changed the music artistically as well as stylistically. The rage at a numb, callous and selfish world was replaced with personal drama, overplayed public compassion, and the kind of hollow rage that people sitting in air-conditioned homes direct at a world that “just doesn’t understand me.” Even worse, the music itself became saccharine. The wild lion of death metal became a neutered animal dependent on daily feedings of peer group approval. Not surprisingly, people loved it then and hardly mention it now.
Who else is stoked?

>yfw you realize doom is the worst metal genre
>>65523598
epic fucking meme dude
Im pretty sure you heard this a million times and will keep hearing it until the end of time, but I can never get into black/death metal simply because I cant understand shit.
even introductory level shit annoys me to death with those vocals, do you guys have any albums that would ease me into it? something like cross-genre stuff or a transition album, or maybe just something that draws certain elements?
>>65523505
Heroes of Might and Magic 3 was great
>>65523340
This is true. ITP hardly feels like a DM album upon closer listen. At least Andy did some sweet solos on it.
The two albums that follow are most definitely not death metal either.
>>65523765
Doesn't help that the chart you posted is fucking shite.
>>65523765
Wow, that chart is actual garbage, I don' blame you
>>65523598
>yfw you realize stoner doom is objectively the best subgenre the american metal scene has to offer.
>American metal scene

>>65523780
>>65523790
I guess I just got memed, I tried to listen to the first song of the first three albums and I instantly called it quits
where should I actually start?
>>65523765
Into Eternity. Buried in Oblivion is their best album.
>>65523848
This is probably a good pick. Tommy's screams are pretty dry, but the album is so goddamn musical that you ignore it until you tolerate it until you love it until you want more.
>>65523765
Try these.
Ruins of Beverast - Blood Vaults
Leviathan - Howl Mockery at the Cross
Weakling - Dead As Dreams
Spectral Lore - III
>>65523869
It depends on what you want really m9, what kind of stuff do you like that's got you interested to begin with? Try and narrow it down a bit.
>>65523869
Start by listening to Venom
>>65523869
Sworn to the Dark is a good album all the way through, despite what NWN! people will tell you. But My Soul For His Glory? What the fucking fuck.
>>65523945
This, we can't really help you if we know nothing, metal has quite the expanse of sounds as it is.
>>65523505
I hope those shitty parody bands would die
>>65524006
I hated Gloryhammer's latest at first and thought it was dumb parody shit, but it grew on me actually.
>>65523765
seeing bands with harsh vocals live will make them make more sense. I got into harsh vocals through CoB's first albums because the music took the center stage.
>>65523945
>>65523988
Im a man of simple taste, I like the classics (priest, sabbath, maiden that stuff), power (heloween, blind guardian is an all time favourite), heavier works I actually tolerated where Terminal Redux by Vektor and Shin-ken by Persefone.
>>65524068
Maybe try some melodeath or lighter techdeath bands like Anata, Vehemence, Intestine Baalism. You might like Arghoslent, they're basically ebin heavy metal riffs dirtied up and laid over with harsher vocals.
>>65523765
I think one problem is that death/black vocals are often mixed way too fucking high, mostly due to conventional pop/rock production practices. The trick may be to find an album which has harsh vocals that are quiet enough as not to be grating. I remember getting into Emperor's first full length and finding the vocals too low. The production on that one is a bit harsh, but the keyboards make it pretty easy to discern certain melodies/moods.
>>65523869
Yes, it's a meme chart that some fag made a long time ago to shill his shit taste and people still fall for it because it says "Entry Level."
>>65524068
Immortal - At the Heart of Winter is a great place to start. Great, memorable riffs with an intuitive sense of melody, and relatively un-intrusive vocals. Give it a whirl.

Is there even a single war metal album on this chart?
>>65524134
IB's vocals are absolutely not going to win him over. I love them, but the vocals are very loud and almost completely incomprehensible.

thanks anons, these will keep me occupied for a while
>>65524163
All great choices here. They helped me get into black metal a while ago.
>>65524171
Why would there be?
>>65524189
fair enough desu, been a long while since I listened to them

>>65523848
Why do people here hate this album?
>>65524292
Well it's not very good.
>>65524292
because it's liked by a lot of non-metalheads, that's all it takes
>>65524248
Because it's an important part of black metal, and even if some people don't end up liking regular black metal they may like war metal? And there are indeed war metal albums like Heavenly Vulva and Gesundrian that have accessible production.
>>65524292
BTBAM has a lot of super annoying lolrandomxD parts, but Colors and Parallax part 2 still have some great songs.
>>65524329
But why would it be on the chart? It's a black metal chart, not a war metal chart. It's not even a black metal subgenre chart
>>65524384
From a cursory glance, I see:
epic black metal(Nocternity)
melodic black metal (Dissection)
atmospheric black metal (Vemod)
orthodox/dissonant black metal (Svartidaudi)
DSBM (Silencer)
>>65524487
all styles of black metal, but war metal is a black/death and black/grind hybrid.
>>65524533
>being this autistic
>>65524559
You're the one who's trying to force war metal. It's not even a significant subgenre.
>>65524559
That wasn't me by the way. But war metal isn't really a straight hybrid, more like first wave black metal taking a different path.
why do you guys hate black metal so much?
alternatively, why do you guys love shitposting so much?
>>65524569
Fenriz's black metal comp starts with two war metal tracks. Ultimately, it's a matter of opinion whether it's "significant" in its own right.
>>65524559
>lol I'm fucking retarded
New thread: >>>65524684
>>65524634
Sarcofago and Blasphemy both had influence on black metal and war metal, but neither were really black metal themselves (and some say sarcofago isn't war metal). If anything, it implies that war metal existed before black metal solidified as a genre
>>65524700
If you pull up an Archgoat tab, the riffing is no different from that of Darkthrone, except power chords are used more frequently.
I will concede that Sarcofago are proto-black metal.
>>65523765
ignore everybody else's reccommendations and listen to pic related. the vocals are still harsh but it's almost like he's trying to sing. sounds really good imo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A6wAMeZWIQ
>>65524755
Still not seeing how war metal is necessary on a chart of black metal that doesn't delve into genre hybrids.
Does anyone have recs for something that sounds similar to carcass - heartwork/swansong ?
Much thanks.
