I've been wanting to get into grindcore/deathcore type bands I'm already a big fan of Pig Destroyer and I've been wondering If there are any other bands that I will like

 

If you want grind then you gotta go with Nails. They have a new album coming very soon entitled "Abandon All Life," and they combine elements of grind, powerviolence, sludge, and doom into this massive wall of sound that is simply second to none (except PD of course).

 

 

Their debut, "Unsilent Death," is extremely short, but extremely satisfying.

 

And for deathcore... hmm. Try Within the Ruins if you haven't already. They also have a full-length in the works called "Elite" that I'm pumped for. They do a lot of really technical, melodic work interlaced with some really nice breakdowns that don't over-br00talize everything.

 

 

Or you could go down the road of Veil of Maya. Also a very technical group. I'm putting them in my signature for my next long-overdue album of the week.

If you want some Death Metal, Cannibal Corpse is a way to start:

All right, can someone recommend me some stuff by In Flames? I think I will try starting there. I believe I have heard a couple songs by them before and they weren't bad.

I'm doing something real quick right now, so I won't post links.  I'm sorry about that.  :/

I know a Cannibal Corpse song and I like the guitar riff in it, but I just don't really like the vocals. Plus I hate the disgusting lyrics and album covers :/

Well I listened to both of those songs and I have to say that they are awesome

I think Nails might be a new favorite band of mine

And that Within The Ruins song was pretty damn good too

 

 

 

 

 

 

...I got nothing now.

 

Well at least you tried

Cannibal Corpse would be the last band that I would suggest

To a Dream Theater and A7X fan

All right, can someone recommend me some stuff by In Flames? I think I will try starting there. I believe I have heard a couple songs by them before and they weren't bad.

Pretty much anything from their 2008 and 2011 albums, I would say. The newer stuff is pretty much alternative metal with melodeath influences, whereas the middle stuff (Clayman, RtR) is the other way around. The older stuff is full melodeath. To be more specific, I guess you should try "Cloud Connected", or "Alias". If the vocals are too harsh/soft, move down or up on their discography.

 

Also, as Chaotic Twilight said, melodeath is a pretty easy way to get into any kind of death metal. I would also recommend at starting out with melodeath/metalcore mixes, since you like A7X. Like, I got into melodeath through metalcore as well, so it sounds like a good entry point to me.

 

And ToBeATree mentioned Gojira, that's also a good point to start at.

 

 

After hearing Book Burner by Pig Destroyer I think that I'd know how short most of them are

And also a 20 minute long sludgy song at the end sounds good to me

Since my favorite kind of metal is the more Sludgier type stuff

Book Burner is nice, even for someone like me who doesn't listen to much grindcore. I really liked Nasum's "Inhale/Exhale" album. Doesn't have any long sludgy stuff though.

I've been told that I should listen to Nasum before

And I think I heard one song by them

I don't remember what it was called

And I don't remember what the song was like

Though I will look them up again

All right, I'll check some of those out when I have time, thanks.

 

Also, i just remembered that I know this one In Flames song from Guitar Hero called "Take This Life" and I kind of like that one.

GRINDCORE?
I recommend:

Nasum

Repulsion

Discordance Axis

Wormrot

Infest (powerviolence, but still)

 

INB4 Djenty

this guy

So anyway, I made this list.

[Moog the Kvlt 1,460]

GRINDCORE?

I recommend:

Nasum

Repulsion

Discordance Axis

Wormrot

Infest (powerviolence, but still)

 

Alright this is the second time I've been recommended to Nasum

So I'm doing it and I'm gonna listen to Inhale Exhale

Hopefully I'll enjoy it

 

EDIT: I'm not even 5 minutes into the album

But I think I know that I'm putting them up there

With Pig Destroyer and Nails on my list of Grindcore bands that I actually like

De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas > Deathcrush. I'm telling you it's true.

 

 

Rather than having the lyrical content of a slam death band and the production of stale crackers, DMDS has much more atmosphere, chilling lyrics, and is a bit cleaner and less muddy than Deathcrush. Oh well. Opinions.

[Halfblood 364]

 

So if I were to try to get into death metal, where would be a good place to start? I typically don't like the vocals in death metal, so if you guys could maybe recommend me something with more tolerable vocals or something?

 

 

 

Also, as Chaotic Twilight said, melodeath is a pretty easy way to get into any kind of death metal. I would also recommend at starting out with melodeath/metalcore mixes, since you like A7X. Like, I got into melodeath through metalcore as well, so it sounds like a good entry point to me.

 

 

100% agree.  Melodeath is that sweet gateway into the wild brutal yonder.  Definitely give those bands that Chaotic Twilight mentioned, and like ToBeATree said, Gojira is a good start.  @, Some of my melodeath suggestions would be Solution .45, as they tend to have more clean vocals (good clean vocals, mind you) than they do growls.  I'll admit, I'm kinda of a Christian Alvestam fanboy:

 

 

Deadlock is also pretty good; they got dual female/male vocals going on, with their male vocals growlin' and their female vocals doin' the cleans.  It goes for a good combination.  Here's one of my favorites from them (don't mind that intro):

 

 

 

Also, if you haven't listened to them already (because I know they've been mentioned at least 100 times here) give Opeth's Damnation album a listen.  That one features all clean vocals and slower prog rocky tempos.  It's not death at all, but it may lean you into the band's more eclectic form of heavier stuff, which mostly falls under death.  Even if it doesn't quell your death metal curiosity , it's a good mo'fn album to chill to.

Heh, I was listening to the whole album just earlier today. And yeah, Solution .45's a really good, pretty soft band. They're even heavier on the synthesizers than SS was. Speaking of which, they're totally not at all like some sort of "Scar Symmetry v2", like some people would say. Might sound a bit like it on first listen, but they're way different. Of course, I prefer Solution .45 to SS.

 

Man, everyone loves Alvestam. Even Alvestam probably loves Alvestam.

This right here made me laugh so hard

I'm adding this to my list of favorite quotes from this site

But anyways yeah I've only heard a few tracks from SS and S45

But I do as well prefer Solution 45 over Scar Symmetry

The Illusionist was an epic song, but not compared to the stuff

That Solution 45 have put out

[MVC NVMXD JVRXD 2,406]

I've always seen this album but never listened to it. And now I am, and it's pretty great.

Drone metal band, but this is far from drone. More 70s rock. Japanese. Descriptions.

And I bet it's incredibly, incredibly gay.

 

More Necrophagist because...

because they're good and I want more from them. Seriously, where the fuck have they been? I definitely wasn't around when their stuff was new, but it's still disappointing to see them not release a thing for 8 or 9 years.

Pic related. It's you.

tfw this s00per obscure black metal band I have on my hard drive has the name like that of a minecraft skin

[Up From The Ashes 56]

As much as I love Heavy Metal and such, I say I point into another direction of Metal. To a name we all recognize, Black Sabbath.

 

Now to some who I may call upon, I mean no offense but, those who say Sabbath died after Ozzy left are simple minded. Believe it or not, I actually prefer Black Sabbath after Ozzy. Dio (Rest in Peace)himself really brought new life to the band on their first album of only two albums with him, Heaven and Hell (1980).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUjUIP2ugG4

Even Ian Gillian, former Deep Purple vocalist, didn't stop from releasing what was regarded at the time as worst metal album, Born Again (1983) But,I find it a bit nostalgic now and holds some value over this crap we see in today's Deathcore and... *shudders* Black Veil Brides... A good song from this album would be Zero the Hero (with The Dark, a creepy ambiance intro.)

In response to the episode that just premiered:

IT'S NOT GONNA BE ALRIGHT, AND IT'S NOT GONNA BE OK.

 

Welp, now I'm in a semi-angry mood. We'll just wait and see what happens.

Yeah I think that we'd all know how you feel Twily

Since your new name change really obvious

Towards your feelings of the new episode

 

But anyways have another song that you could listen to

While you're in that mood:

[Treeboy 418]

Watched some demonstrations for "Telos" off the newest BTBAM album, and I like Dan's bass video the most. He fits right into their sound, even though when you get down to it, he's much more of a jazz and fusion player.

 

[Yourmomsponies 444]

This band is definitely one of the better ones I've found as of late.

Along with this band.

Its a shame that Sleep Serapis Sleep broke up last year they made some kick ass music

I also just read revolvers interview with the wife of the late Suicide Silence frontman Mitch Lucker who died in november.

"He was a father to an adorable 2 year old daughter a devoted husband."

So incase you aren't familiar with the band heres one of their better tracks.

I think that you're a little bit late to this news

It's not too new of a story, but yeah

Even though I've never liked a single Suicide Silence song

It is a sad shame that he ended up dying

I know its late I was one of a few of my friends who knew he was in the accident on Halloween before he left us. But the interview with his wife was just published and put into revolver magazine in last months issue.

I haven't read it yet, and I never knew that he had a wife

Or a child, or really anything about him

Since like what I said, I'm not a fan of Suicide Silence

I'd imagine that it would be a heartbreaking thing to read

I doubt that she'd ever get over it, but I may wish the best for her

And I hope that she will get into a better time in her life
