Their melodeath bands are just very power metal influenced like almost all other forms of music in gookland since x-japan was the biggest band there for some time
>>65780997

>>65781033
no I'm not talking about melodeath. they obviously have their melodeath bands like intestine baalism, shadow, BSC and vortex but then they have bands that are straight up power metal with gutturals and shrieking that aren't really death metal at all.
>>65780997
They are alright

Watain is to black metal as Dethklok is to death metal
>>65781241
Gyze is straight up Melodeath.
Phantom Excaliver is Extreme Power Metal. No death metal influence but they have a metalcore influence at times.
Serenity in Murder is melodeath.
You can tell the difference mostly in the style of the leads, riffing, and playing.
Does it sound like power metal with harsh vocals? It's extreme power metal.
Does it sound like death metal with an emphasis on harmonic leads? Then it's melodic death metal
>>65781303

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8q1dDuHxuw

Yeah but that's only one bit of the song, but even then, the riffs behind the leads are not power metal riffs. They're melodeath riffing and the drum patterns are not traditionally power metal. The part proceeding it at 1:50 doesn't hold any semblance to power metal either.

Are they out of their fucking minds?
friendly reminder that if your favorite band doesn't do clean vocals it's because they are talentless hacks that can't sing for shit.
>>65783742
what if my band does no vocals whatsoever
>>65783759
talentless hacks that can't sing for shit
sry
>>65783742
I'm going with "can't sing for shit" here.
>>65783779
Whoops, for whatever reason I read that the orignal post said "they are talentless hacks or can't sing for shit".
>>65783775
What if my band only does clean vocals but they are shit
>>65783814
I'm not a fan of Skyharbor either but they are hardly shit
What's the point of Dying Fetus?
They're essentially just a shitty, generic band. Sorta like Barnes's previous band.
>>65783938
>shitty, generic band
the thing is, Dying Fetus probably inspired all of the bands similar to them
Post god-tier Swedeath, but not the usual Sunlight Studios HM-2 shit that gets circlejerked.

Oh Russia. Well nothing of value there.
I've listened to a bunch of songs and deduced it's just a shittier Cannibal Corpse with tough guy vocals (CC sucks too).
I value my time, so didn't feel inclined to listen to a full length.
>>65784315
i don't really see how they can be compared to CC outside that they're both BDM but whatever, you do you, man

>>65784345
I'm listening to Destroy the Opposition right now.
Not enjoying it but I'll march on through the entire album.
Gonna see Ne Obliviscaris next month with Black Crown Initiate, what should I expect from them ?
>>65782411
Nah, the core subgenres that /metal/ generally enjoys are still enjoyed here. OSDM, thrash, grind and power have been circlejerked here for almost 3 years at this point and hasn't really let up.
Black metal in general hasn't been king since 2014, but it's not really shat on either unless it's atmoblack
>>65784465
I know its probably just an act, but Ive talked with him multiple times after shows and hes super nice.
I wish he could pull his shit together and make another Planetary Duality minus the atheist memes
>>65784486
i don't see why would that matter but i hope you enjoy it at least in some extent, so you don't feel like you lost your time
>>65784492
proggy melodic death metal music
>>65784459
That's not Noctambulant faggot
>>65783742
brief reminder that in order to do harsh vocals well you need to have a strong grasp on clean singing in the first place
>>65784543
that's not true
>>65784486
Praise The Lord (Opium Of The Masses) has like one of the most savage opening riffs, how are you not losing your shit?
>>65784519
The groove riffs are ok, but the songs as a whole do nothing for me right now.
I guess the band is good for moshing, so they're not entirely useless.
Anybody know the name of this album?
Anyone see Psycroptic live ?
>>65784543
>>65784564
yes it is anon. in order to do harsh vocals really well you need to have a strong grasp on singing. most harsh vocalists actually practice and warm up by reciting the lyrics with clean singing.
>>65784601
Lead towards Daytime
>>65784459
but Elvenefris though
>>65784588
i agree with >>65784567 i always found the riffs on the first song massive, and that's one of the best songs on the album so if you value your time a lot i'd guess it's better for you not to bother with the rest
>>65784601
Use Da Image Search Funktion '97
>>65784625
there are plenty of harsh vocalists that sound like absolute shit when trying to do cleans
>>65784601
dunno if memeing, but its Hatred For Mankind
>>65780997
Entry level mediocrity.
what do you guys think about this album? I posted about this on the last thread but I never checked if anyone replied before it got deleted
>>65784672
Thanks man
>>65784689
Oh yeah, that actually happened / 10
>>65784663
>in order to do harsh vocals really well
>really well
anybody can pick up a mic and start screaming or growling sloppily without knowing jackshit about singing in the first place, but trained harsh vocalists need to have a grasp on how to control their voice and range so they have to practice with clean singing first before they moved onto pitching harsh singing.
learn your shit fampai
I've been getting into a lot of cybergrind lately. Anyone got any good obscure recs? I've pretty much looked into all of the well-known stuff.

Can't get through it lol.
The first song was alright, but it gets unbearable very quickly.
>>65784689
I can't remember if he was from Orphaned Land or Myrath but some dude got that cover tattooed on the back of his neck before the thing even came out.
So I don't usually listen to alot of metal but I like me some Intronauts and Baroness. What else are like them?
>>65784855
I like the part where you gleamed over 'very well'.
>>65784900
Mastodon, Boris, Eyehategod, Neurosis.
Unfortunately what you like is considered "poser sludge" so don't expect many serious replies.
>>65784857
That sounds like a stellar track, what are you talking about.
>>65784883
Nope. I liked Obscura but what the fuck is so great about Pleiades' Dust?

>>65784883
It's not even good though.
>>65784963
Considering that everything ever posted here is a meme, they're considered "diet sludge." Which pretty much means they copy the chunky sound of sludge but lack the raw anger and proper songwriting, which I personally consider to be total bullshit.
>>65784990
I don't like it either but the retards here think they're the same.
Both of you anons check pic related.
>>65784963

I almost said Sleep but I felt they were more stoner than sludge.
>>65785037
This is the first time I've seen Boris grouped with butt sludge, though. I've seen them grouped with entry-level sludge like Melvins and Acid Bath and the like, but never with cancerous meme sludge.
Boris fucking outleagues garbage like mastodon and baroness, it's a fucking sin to pretend they're on the same level.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbNAm4uxUOk
>>65785118
>butt sludge
>meme sludge
nice buzzwords, quit being autistic boris is entry-level sludge
>>65785118
You're preaching to the wrong anon. I agree completely and Heavy Rocks is fucking massive compared to Baroness and Kylesa.
>>65785057
w e w lad
>>65785185
I'm just wondering how the hell they're grouped with mastodon, baroness and kylesa, though. Every time Boris gets brought up in /metal/ they're generally brought up with good regards, even if they're brought up infrequently.
They've always seemed to be lumped with the entry-level sludge Acid Bath, Melvins and Crowbar crowd, not the diet butt sludge mastodon and baroness crowd.
>>65785171
In the same vein that Iron Maiden is entry level; doesn't make them bad
>>65784988
Hey thanks, this pretty good actually
>>65785268
never said they were bad, but i don't see why you're acting like they're some inaccessible patrician band they're commonly listed by pleb /mu/core drones in "I don't really like metal except for..." posts
