I am laughing at how the grammys botched Megadeth winning their award.

The album Karnivool introduced itself to the world with.

Also a Canadian band that sadly doesn't exist anymore.

[Olsen1987 133]

You want something crazy? 

 

Black Sabbath. Fronted by Rob Halford. 

 

not so crazy that i haven't seen it before

it's from the Dehumanizer tour, he had to step in for Dio.

he also sang for Sabbath in the 2000's sometime, don't remember when, but i think it was in '04.

yep, i was right, good brain remembering the lesson.

he sang for Sabbath during 2004 Ozzfest.

Fleshgod Apocalypse- The Violation

 

I like this one because of the drums initially. Its energy really.

I honestly don't know the vast majority of what they say tho.

[Kawaii Besu 28,011]

So, uh,

 

 

Pumpkins...

 

I've been on a power metal roll lately. :awuh: Some of the darker songs of them though.

[WokeSmeed 124]

Here's my favorite song, Persephone by Year of No Light. It might be 20 minutes long, but it feels more like 5 when you listen to it.

 

[Midnight Scribbler 1,705]

A band I haven't listened to nearly enough of.

[WokeSmeed 124]

There aren't nearly enough long power metal songs in the world.

 

[Midnight Scribbler 1,705]

Time to raise this thread from the dead. With a little Pallbearer.

Been listening to a lot of Gojira lately. I've had this song on loop for the past 20 minutes.

 

[Kawaii Besu 28,011]

Have some NWOBHM goodies my boys. :>

 

[Cosmik Vek 764]

Latest Mastodon album is pretty great, here's one of my favorite song from this album:

Reminds me of Leviathan

[Whirlwind 1,056]

Was listening to some live music. 

Deicide was freaking killer live. The song is Sacrificial Suicide 

 

[Denim&Venöm 18,829]

Time for some intellectual metal discussion.

 

What's thrash metal and what isn't?

 

 

[Crispy 5,563]

I dig Code Orange but I had to laugh.

[Halberd 88]

I picked up last year's DOOM (2016) for a good deal and I've fallen in love with the soundtrack.

 

[GrimGrimoire 4,973]

Suffocation - "Undeserving" from Blood Oath

Just re-listened to the album the other day.

 

 

[Crispy 5,563]

Accurate depiction of working out in Milwaukee.

[Cl0udChaser 3,006]

Ghoulspoon - Alien Magnet

 

[GrimGrimoire 4,973]

Needs more Anaal Nathrakh

 

Anaal Nathrakh - "More Fire Than Blood" from The Constellation of the Black Widow

Screams sound like someone getting their skin pulled off in strips, but within it all you can still hear choruses that would not be out of place on a modern rock station... and dat drum machine.

 

[Halberd 88]

Finnish Doom Metal. Probably not well known in the United States, but I own both of their full length albums and one EP on cassette.

 

[Denim&Venöm 18,829]

Ever heard of Rob Trujillo? He only played bass in Suicidal Tendencies, Ozzy Osborne and currently in Metallica. 

 

Well his 12 year old son is now playing bass in Korn!

Haven't watched the video yet, but that is downright awesome! Just shows that age doesn't stop in many things nowadays....

Also, what's some good metal to start out with? I've always been more of an acoustic and soft rock guy, but I'm wanting to expand my music catalog - I do love grunge and 90's rock though, so base on that.

The classics, like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and early Metallica are pretty good starting points for just about everybody. If you're into grunge, I'd recommend sludge, stoner, and doom metal. Baroness and Mastodon are good starting bands for sludge. Electric Wizard, Kyuss, and Dozer are good for stoner. Black Sabbath, Type O Negative, and A Pale Horse Named Death are good starting bands, especially Black Sabbath since they're the reason metal exists.

 

Anyway, here's a song I've been listening to a lot recently.

You'd probably like the early stuff from the 70's. More hard rock & proto-metal though. Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin, Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, early Judas Priest.

Stuff from the 90's? 90's were a bit of a low point for metal, as metal was seen as 'no longer cool. It was very much a time of punk and alternative rock. But stuff labeled 'alt metal' would fit the bill.   Tool, Deftones, Living Color, Faith No More, System Of A Down, and others of such ilk would fit your niche.

 

As mentioned, stoner, sludge and doom metal fit the grungy atmosphere. Crowbar & Corrosion Of Conformity fit such bills.  If you're gonna give Sabbath a try, stick with the Ozzy years, as those are the slower, riff heavy stuff. But if you're up for a trip outside your comfort zone, do listen to the Dio years, as those are faster and more bombastic. 

If you're up for hearing what most would call 'traditional' heavy metal, then I'd seek out the true fathers of heavy metal as we know it, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden from '79-'90. Both bands use soaring vocals, fast tempos & iconic twin guitar leads that are the blue prints for metal purists. At least, these were the starting points for me. 

 

Metal is a very diverse genre spanning 45+ years, and there's probably something for everyone.
