Any one like heavy and death metal?

Post Reply New Topic

I love heavy and death metal and I was wondering if any one out there with the some metal heads.

Yes I like it quite a lot, it is the main thing I listen to.

Yes I am a huge metal fan, although only in the past couple years I've gotten into death metal.

I found Death (esp. Human) to be awesome, and Necrophagist as well. Listening to Demilich as well. But the one thing I've noticed is that I really like the guitar riffs and drumming, but am rather indifferent to the vocals. So I found I live recordings where the vocals are mixed to sound more in the background and the guitar is in the foreground.

Yeah

Gotta love me some metal. Only thing I really listen to from 13 to me now at 20.

Yeah... Metal Head here as well. Like about 90% of the styles out there. Some of the newer stuff that has hit American mainstream was done 15+years ago in Europe (Insert any At The Gates clone you can think of) If it gets up to 180BPM and has some good power chord chunk, I'm in.

Metaaaaaaaal! Yes to metal. In the twenty-five years since I first got into it a hell of a lot of mind-blowing bands and albums have blossomed in the garden of headbangers. Unfortunately, here in Tasmania (down the bottom of Australia, international folks) you have to fork out for a plane trip to the mainland any time a band graces our country with their presence.

So would anyone like to volunteer three albums that stand out as landmarks for them in the history of their personal metal-tastic fandom? For example:

1. Carcass, 'Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious' -- because no other album has actually given me a genuine panic attack on first play.
2. Type O Negative, 'Bloody Kisses' -- so many metal albums are really not much more than a collection of predictable riffs. It's like going to a restaurant for a ten-course degustation where every course is a piece of meat. Where are the sauces, the garnish, the unconventional presentation? This album has the lot.
3. Mayhem, 'Ordo ad Chao' -- you know how some people say they like babies, but only other people's babies, because they get to give the baby back when they've had enough? This album is like that, except it's not babies, it's paranoid schizophrenia.

^^Landmark albums? Sure

1. Metallica: Master of Puppets.
This was my first record purchase as a kid. I wanted to find out what all the Metallica fuss was about, and I was not disappointed.
2. Morbid Angel: Covenant
Super heavy, all-around great album
3. Immortal: Pure Holocaust
My introduction to Norwegian Metal. Drums fast enough to evoke helicopters.

I sort of like metal. When I say I like metal many people are quick to correct me as I don't get involved too much with subgenre distinctions.

I like some straight forward 90s metal like Pantera, Slipknot, Sepultura, Machine Head and the like... groove stuff mostly.

I like alot of 90-00s 'nu-metal' including Deftones, Korn, Mudvayne, Nothingface and Ultraspank

I like some industrial metal like Fear Factory and old Nine Inch Nails.

Love alot of deathcore like Rings of Saturn, Whitechapel, Fit For an Autopsy, Arsonists Get All the Girls, and The Red Chord, etc.

Djent as well but it can get boring- Meshuggah, Born of Osiris, Glass Cloud

And most of my favorite bands are the really eclectic ones that play heavy music but with all sorts of different non-metal influences heavily throughout the music, most are mathcore/math metal- Candiria (all time favorite band), Dillinger Escape Plan, Iwrestledabearonce (thus my avatar), The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza (not really too eclectic, but it's own monster), Circuit of Suns, Car Bomb (more mathy noisy), and less metal but still amazing bands in the one and only Faith No More and a band who takes heavily from their book without at all copying- Twelve Foot Ninja.

Never really been able to get into death metal (aside from Bolt Thrower), but I do like some extreme metal bands. Here are a few highlights:

Absolutely, I love the heavy sound in a lot of music as well as flat out death metal, metal, and other sub genres. I like my music to be hard hitting and have substance.

If I can list bands I enjoy, The Black Dahlia Murder, Divine Heresy (First Album), Between The Buried And Me, Dream Theater, Rammstein, Baby Metal, As I Lay Dying, Meshuggah, Cattle Decapitation, Carnifex, Cannibal Corpse, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Whitechapel, Oceano, The Faceless, In This Moment, Killswitch Engage, Lamb of God, Slipknot, Nile, Otep, Veil of Maya, Mushroomhead, Every Time I Die, Unearth, Limp Bizkit, Rob Zombie, Korn, The Ghost Inside, Arsonists Get All The Girls, The Acacia Strain, Emmure, Job For A Cowboy, Suicide Silence, Gift Giver, Behemoth.


I'm looking to listen to more of the older generation metal too. Should get more into Napalm Death, Carcasss, and many more bands.

Svartsot if you like growly death metal sounding vocals and folk metal it does go well together I think.
