[Thrashy 2,800]

 

 

In other news, I learned how to play a Slayer riff. I feel so proud of myself.

 

Tell me which one. Then I'll tell you how proud of yourself you should be.

 

...J/K. But seriously, which one? The one I have the most fun playing is Angel of Death, but my picking arm outright drops dead when I'm finally through with the song. Fucking tremolo picking.

 

Speaking of shit that kills your picking arm:

 

[Twiliscael 3,960]

Moog, this metalcore enough for you?

Aside from shit production, these guys have been growing on me. They're going in the right direction, at least.

 

And I see all of this thrash getting so much praise, but never enough Lich, Three Inches of Blood, or Sodom god damnit.

[Woohoo 34,015]

Now I'm gonna post some live performances.

Why am I posting live performances? Because posting studio songs is too mainstream

 

[Jinx 2,292]

Something new to discuss, how about Ayreon. So many guest musicians, your head will seriously explode. From Devin Townsend, to James LaBrie, to Hansi Kursch.

They're alright, not too bad, heard better, heard worse.

 

 

And since we've now shifted over to Thrash, I might as well leave the only Thrash band that I have a huge liking for

Postmortem. I fucking suck at tremolo, though I've been getting better at it.

 

 

holy shit guys why is the metal thread endless reposts now It's never "here's a new band to discuss" it's <stupid bickering="" about="" a7x="" or="" some="" other="" band="" rd92="" likes="" followed="" by="" moog="" posting="" how="" much="" he="" loves="" converge="" metalcore="" and="" then="" dawn="" flavor="" of="" the="" month="" that="" everyone's="" already="" heard=""> with occasional input from other people. I swear, "I'll just leave this here" is just an excuse to make a bad post music related.

I literally showed you bongzilla a couple days ago this is the exact kind of stuff I'm talking about :V

I dunno features always seem weird in metal. I like them in hip-hop, but I feel like in bands each member has something unique to the band and bringing a guy for one song just disrupts everything.

It tends to go by album, Ayreon is a so-called rock opera. Each album is different, and the same singer will appear on multiple songs on the same album.

Yea so I was on Pandora and I found this shit lol.

I'm gonna go look for the full album and download it. I was looking for doomy stuff.

[Champion RD92 8,658]

Ugh I keep trying to get more into Wrath by Lamb of God but I just really like Ashes of the Wake a lot better. I find Wrath to be a bit boring actually :/

 

This is probably my favorite song though:

Hnng I just love everything about this song it's just so well made hnnngggw f,sadhg

 

The piano at the start, the glitchy percussions that are like in some Periphery and ASL songs and those vocals hnnng

[Reuel(Crystal Slave) 287]

Here's a collab I did with Br0racle... it's definitely metal, and I think a lot of you will probably enjoy it! Let me know if you like it! We both put a lot of work into it. It's pretty heavy!

holy shit guys why is the metal thread endless reposts now

It's never "here's a new band to discuss"

it's <STUPID BICKERING ABOUT A7X OR SOME OTHER BAND RD92 LIKES FOLLOWED BY MOOG POSTING ABOUT HOW MUCH HE LOVES CONVERGE OR SOME OTHER METALCORE BAND AND THEN DAWN POSTING ABOUT SOME FLAVOR OF THE MONTH BAND THAT EVERYONE'S ALREADY HEARD ALREADY> with occasional input from other people. I swear, "I'll just leave this here" is just an excuse to make a bad post music related.

interesting folk black metal from one of the guys of Darkthrone. P gud if you ask me.

 

Amen brutha, preach.

 

Fenriz also has a 3 song trad/doom E.P. he put out as a split with Nattefrost (for some strange reason). It's pretty chillin.

Somebody other than me posting Ayreon?!

And thanks for notifying me, Scael. I'd hate to miss any Ayreon posting

 

 

Anyway, I'm sure all who care have seen this:

(I may have posted it in here before, actually )

I love that room. All the keyboards and guitars and amps everywhere and random candelabras and shit. And I love how he changes his clothes depending on what instrument/style he's playing. It never really hit me until I saw that room, how awesome it is that he does all the music himself (except drums), and then just gets guest singers. And the music he was playing sounded pretty awesome, so I think we can expect another fantastic Ayreon album.

 

Can not fucking wait. SO excited

 

Also, wooooooot

I got pulled into Ayreon in 2008 when Hansi made guest appearances on 01011001. I started listening to them for that, and I really liked the rest of the music. Into the Electric Castle is probably my 2nd favorite album by Ayreon.

[Unpredictable Ranger 696]

Trying to fix my moods at the time being, so I made a sudden switch from listening to gospel and relaxing instrumental songs to this one from Pantera.

 

[Champion RD92 8,658]

All of a sudden I got addicted to the song Take This Life by In Flames

 

 

Take this life

I'm right here

Stay a while and breathe me in

[Le Kvlt Dawn 2,364]

Here's a modern band that's very old skool sounding. These guys sound like Possessed mixed with Bathory mixed with Celtic Frost mixed with early Slayer.

And an Australian band. Because I don't listen to Aussie metal very much.

Speaking of shit that kills your picking arm:

Gotta git dat endurance mang. But yeah, that sounds like it'd be pretty painful.

 

I mean, I'm an ultra-shitty excuse for a guitarist and I get tired just by playing Gojira - Backbone.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi-w6mGn7U0

It's got triplets too, which are honestly the worse than the tremolo riffs themselves, since you're starting and stopping again. Also, the triplets are played across two strings. Only one break in the whole song, and it just has to be near the end.

 

But you're a bassist right? So I'd guess it's much harder with them thicker strings.

[Soundgarden 2,758]

I'm going to post some Solace here. I freaking love them, and I love Misery Signals as well of course

Oh yea, and perhaps some Skramz?

I play guitar as well, it's just that I've chosen to make bass my main role in my band. But it's actually kind of alarming how often I'll pick up my guitar as opposed to my bass. It's like I'm becoming a fairly competent rhythm guitarist, but my bass chops are slipping away as a result. Totally not cool...but dammit if guitar isn't more fun to play.

 

There used to be a time when I could play through (most of) this song on bass without much problem:

 

 

Tried it recently, though, and...my God, are my skills slipping.   Need to spend MOAR time on the 6-string and less on the 7-string...

[sxp 404]

How about some good ol' Vader? I love that intro:

 

And some good (not so ol') Machine Head:

 

I play guitar too. I'm not much of a shredder, to be honest I can't play any decent solo (perhaps because I'm too lazy to sit down and learn something properly, lol). At the moment I'm trying to learn this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwTQBYFwwO0 It's not too difficult, I'm probably gonna nail it in a couple of days.

I can't shred either. Speed picking is some hard shit to learn. And I've tried doing "Kerry King style" solos and they sound really dumb lol.

 

French black metal.

Don't tell me what to do.

 

 

Joking aside, there has been a lot of similar content lately.  It happens, but we all seem to have pretty preset grooves we all fall back on.

 

Either way.  Have some more of that Deafheaven I posted a few days ago.  Preorders are still up if anyone's interested.
