Whats some good metal?

[QUOTE="TwighlightBlade"]Aw, blow off man. If you don't like his favorite genre then don't listen, but don't hate on him for like somethin you don't.LordQuorthon

Metalcore is not metal and I don't hate it. I didn't hate the glam rock fad, I didn't hate the mallcore fad, I don't hate the metalcore fad. None of them were/are metal, though.

Not if it impails you. :0

I also forget to tell TC to listen to, Mudvayne. Very good band. :Dcodymcclain14

Please, stop posting here. You give other metalcore fans a bad name.

If you want some more technical stuff I recommend Dream theater- progressive Sonata Arctica - Power Nightwish- symphonic Opeth- progressive deathYoshiYogurt

And if you want some stuff that kicks ass, stay away from all those bands.

[QUOTE="Hatiko"]Nude_Dude

Uh, what?!

I forgot a couple and it is a LAME LIST?!

1. I thought SHGM just had some of the people from RX not all of 'em.

2. I chose songs that were the easiest to get into, so obviously they are going to be predictable. I wanted to choose "Mirror of Souls" or "I Am" for Theocracy but doubt people would want to sit through a 10 minute, let alone 22 minute song no matter how good they are.

3. I have no clue what "(sucks)" referes to and sweet how Pathfinder comin' out with a new album. Sonata Arctica is coming out with one too!

Hey, at least I didn't post any DrgaonForce, so lay off me man!

Clearly I speak for forgotten bands:

If you're looking for some new metal albums, Overkill (thrash) and Ministry (industrial metal) each just put one out, they're both quite good. Actually, the new Overkill is very good

most people seem to like gold.

Enjoy. :)

almasdeathchild

Maybe. But that doesn't change the fact that progressive stuff and kicking ass rarely go hand in hand, unless it's some atonal and crazy stuff like Demilich. It's ok to like progressive stuff like Opeth, but that won't make them kick ass.

thats opinions sir.

almasdeathchild

No. That's a fact. Being progressive prevents you from kicking ass because it drives your sound away from the ass-kicking benchmark that are Motorhead and Venom. You can strafe from said benchmark a little bit and still kick ass, but once you do what bands like Opeth and Dream Theater do, you may as well be Yes or Camel or something like that, which is fine, but does not kick any ass.

I recommend the bands Lord and Dungeon. Australian Power Metal at it's best.

I now officially love you.

Among all this discussion of metalcore how has no one mentioned Killswitch Engage?:o

Also, At The Gates greatly influenced the modern metalcore scene vocals-wise, so nice of you to mention them.

As much as I love them, Motorhead is as inconsistent as Annihilator, and Venom invented a fairly niche genre. I personally don't favour black metal due to the vocals that sound like gargling some sort of thick, viscous liquid, although I don't mind Dragon Lord; I thin kI only checked them out because Peterson from Testament plays with them.

That said, I agree with some of the angst raised about Dream Theater and Nightwish, not so much Sonata Arctica and other power metal bands. Dream Theater is hackneyed; they've been living off of their riffs from Scenes From a Memory by recycling the content into their new releases. And it's obvious! They don't even change the tempo. At least bands like ZZ Top try to do something different with their recycled riffs; what Dream Theater has done is lazy and inexcusable.

Nightwish is not metal anymore. Anyone who I have demoed their post-Tarja stuff too says it sounds like Abba or Ace of Base. And my friends aren't metal-heads.

And don't disrespect the genuine power metal bands; they keep the classical side alive. The cornerstone of what metal has become today is not so much the blues that Sabbath started off with, but the classical that Judas Priest introduced - or the punk that Anthrax pushed - so to say that that doesn't kick ass is pure fallacy. But yes, post-Scenes From A Memory Dream Theater sucks and Nightwish is now just a pop-rock band. A symphonic one, but they don't qualify as metal. Sadly, while Tarja is still doing metal, it's this pretensious douchey baroque-classical-style sh*t. That doesn't fly; metal is a lot of the things, pretensious isn't one of them.

Oh, and that, DO give Annihilator a try. Their last album, which was self-titled, is actually pretty good. Didn't like it on first listen, but second and third time around, it gets better and better. Not quite an instant hit as Carnival Diablos should have been. And the fact that I have yet to see Testament in anyone's list is kind of sad. Testament is what Metallica forgot to aspire to.
