Participating with Opeth.

I love this band more than any other progressive (death) metal band. Especially this song. Although I didn't really like Heritage, even if I do like a lot of prog rock.

[Treeboy 418]

It's spelled ISIS.

 

"All caps when you spell the [band's] name." -sorta MF DOOM.

Fucking incredible. I just realized I left these guys out of my top fiddy, though. God... a-dammit.

Keeping in with the post metal posts, I'll post some Cult of Luna

 

 

 

Great band, and when I first heard them, I instantly fell in love.

[Crispy 5,563]

Reposting for the new kids.

 

 

This song's gonna be on a first release by a band called Breath of Nibiru, so keep an eye out for it. It sounds like someone mixed their Joe Satriani with some extra prog.

[Treeboy 418]

Because of how much of a lazy fucker I can be, I waited till today to check out Ne Obliviscaris' "Portal of I," and I wish I had done so much sooner. I think I have a good idea of my top 5 albums of the year now, with this being at about number four or three.

Gah, this is such an awesome band. I made a mix tape for some of my friends a while back (I'm old skool yo) and I put some Ne Obliviscaris on that shiz. I believe it was this song:

 

 

 

This beginning of this song always was so interesting to me, especially as it progresses. Glad you posted these guys!

[Treeboy 418]

I too made a mix CD once. It was metal in all directions. This was one of the stranger cuts:

 

 

Drum machines and shit. I've mentioned how enamored I am with the vocals as well.

[~Asuka <3~ 867]

Posting some Be'Lakor. Has anypony heard their new album? I'm wondering if I should pick it up, and I might as well find out what the popular opinion is.

 

 

 

Progressive melodic death metal from the gods, at least with this masterpiece.

Tfw parents take away laptop. Let's have Djenty recap his day in music!

So today was full of Deku's recommendations. I listened to portions of As the Roots Undo on the bus ride this morning. When I got home, after getting my laptop taken away, I chilled out to basically half of GYBE's discography while reading Atlas Shrugged. Now I'm listening to an underrated album, Caress of Steel. Fun, right?

[Crispy 5,563]

Today has been a lot of gimmick metal for me. Covers of video games and TV shows and whatnot.

 

Nothing wrong with that. Have some.

 

[Halfblood 364]

Oooooh, how gimmicky! Technically what I'm about to post is metalcore, ah but fuck it! I love me some Mortal Kombat, so get you some:

 

[Crispy 5,563]

Technically what I'm about to post is metalcore,

 

Young man, you know that's my favorite genre.

 

 

Melodic metalcore until the end of time.

I will never not like these guys, saw them at the reunion show and we broke the stage with mosh, no joke.

[DusK 1,264]

Any Haste The Day posted in here? If not, my favorite song by them:

 

 

This one blew my mind when I first heard it too, considering Oh, Sleeper is among my faves as well:

 

[Dysphoria 13]

Here it comes, more INSTRUMENTAL BANDS:

 

http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=hB75rvrv5YA

 

I find that most solo instrumental prog metal/ djent acts are severely talented and produce real quality music (Bulb, Sean Hall, Chimp Spanner to name a few). Cloudkicker is one of these bands. His stuff is the bee's knees.

 

You are the Coolest. I thought nobody else knew about Cloudkicker. He just released a new album in august and all his stuff is available for free download on his bandcamp.

 

http://cloudkicker.bandcamp.com/album/fade

 

 

Oh! and i also wanted to put And So I Watch You From Afar on here, there a smaller Irish band that does some really cool instrumental stuff.

@, I saw Haste the Day in concert like 8 years ago. I'm not really a fan of them now though. The new Wintersun album came out today. So we ended up waiting 8 years for 5 songs with 2 of them being instrumentals? Still a great album though.

[Treeboy 418]

So after listening to half of Miles Davis' "A Tribute to Jack Johnson," I finally got around to listening to The Ocean's "Heliocentric" the whole way through. It's pretty spectacular, though apparently many thought it was all downhill after Precambrian. This was my first Ocean record, so I don't see how that opinion can exist.

 

My favorite song from this album:

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9LUw2JWLkI

[MVC NVMXD JVRXD 2,406]

 

 

/mu/ can be so awesome, sometimes. I shall become a true post-rock master! :DDD

 

 

So I have a big listening list for albums, ever since I've been seeking out recommendations to broaden listening. Here, have a look at tonight's listening.

SO FUCKING PATRICIAN IT'S CRUSHING MY LEGS.

What listening are you guys up to, other metal thread regulars?

[Treeboy 418]

Nice picks, Djenty. Exmilitary is raw. And you know how I feel about ISIS.

 

I've been up to posting in the "rate song then post another" thread. Here's something from said escapades.

 

 

Dash Is Best Pony ranked it at 9/10, but letterONE gave it a 0, which was a bit upsetting .

[MVC NVMXD JVRXD 2,406]

Obscure post-hardcore with some post-rock influences snuck in. Nice to see that /mu/ can still give some great band recommendations. Wow, I've been keeping my music mellow recently.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7rpVRnuAcQ

Some quality crossover thrash. Better, in some cases, than Suicidal Tendencies.

[Halfblood 364]

I thought nobody else knew about Cloudkicker.

 

Haha, it's a shame he doesn't get a whole of recognition; Ben Sharpe is a talented musician. Some of his early work, before Cloudkicker, is pretty spectacular. It's more atmospheric and ambient than metal, but amazing none-the-less.

 

Also, Djenty, to answer your inquiry, this is whats been cycling through my ears in the recent weeks:

 

 

 

 

And that pretty much sums it up. I also just recently found out Coheed and Cambria released their new album on the 9th, so I'm gonna grab that pretty soon and give that a thorough listen.

[Twiliscael 3,960]

Why do I always find myself listening to Wormrot after football games?

 

And have the most popular song by Gorguts so that Djenty gets off my ass about "real" death metal.

(That's not to say I didn't enjoy the song )

[Treeboy 418]

Below in the spoiler I have included one of the shittiest debates I have ever taken part in. It happened a few minutes ago and severed a friendship with somebody I shouldn't have met in the first place.

[11:59:59 AM] ToBeATree/~Cook: You so obviously looked that up that it isn't even funny.

[12:00:12 PM] Gubgub: never said i didnt

[12:00:16 PM] ToBeATree/~Cook: Plus there's no n in "oppa."

[12:00:24 PM] ToBeATree/~Cook: SCORE

[12:00:47 PM] Gubgub: i wasnt abut to go through all of the lyrics do edit out that mistake

[12:01:12 PM] Gubgub: im okay with not understanding lyrics

[12:01:27 PM] Gubgub: its when words sound like

[12:01:34 PM] Gubgub: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHHOWIADBSMLGFO*FIUJAKHOGIUOAGRDVS

[12:01:42 PM] ToBeATree/~Cook: That's the same as not understanding them.

[12:01:44 PM] ToBeATree/~Cook: Ass.

[12:01:51 PM] Gubgub: nope

[12:02:04 PM] Gubgub: they sound good in gangnam style

[12:02:31 PM] Gubgub: not like a guy taking the most painful shit of his life

[12:03:25 PM] ToBeATree/~Cook: It doesn't sound like that either. Until you hear something like early Cannibal Corpse, where no matter what you do, you will never be able to understand what is being said.

[12:04:10 PM] Gubgub: it totally sounds like that

[12:04:31 PM] ToBeATree/~Cook: It's not like the vocal delivery takes away from the meaning of the words that are actually being said.

[12:05:20 PM] Gubgub: yes it is

[12:05:52 PM] ToBeATree/~Cook: As long as you know what the words are, it doesn't matter how they're being delivered.

[12:06:19 PM] Gubgub: yes it does

[12:06:41 PM] ToBeATree/~Cook: Example?

[12:07:20 PM] Gubgub: i guess your right

[12:07:27 PM] Gubgub: 99.9% of the lyrics are shit anyway

[12:07:37 PM] Gubgub: so the delivery cant make them any worse

[12:07:38 PM] ToBeATree/~Cook: What are the lyrics?

[12:07:58 PM] Gubgub: I CUT MYSELF FOR AAAAAATTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEENNNNNNNTTTTTTTIIIIIIIIOOOOOONNNNNNNNNN

[12:08:10 PM] Gubgub: RAPE

[12:08:13 PM] Gubgub: INCEST

[12:08:14 PM] ToBeATree/~Cook: You're confusing metal with scenecore bullshit.

[12:08:32 PM] Gubgub: NICHOLAS CAGE

[12:08:39 PM] Gubgub:

BLOOD

[12:08:42 PM] Gubgub: GORE

[12:08:44 PM] ToBeATree/~Cook: SCENE BULLSHIT

[12:09:19 PM] Gubgub: doubt it

[12:09:48 PM] Gubgub: IM DEPRESSED SO IM GOING TO FLY A SPACESHIP TO THE SSSSSSSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[12:09:57 PM] ToBeATree/~Cook: Here we are, you finally made it

Into this world, custom tailored to fit

The dies have been matched

 

The molds have been cast

Now sit your ass down, here’s how it is,

I’ve taken control of “The Biz”

We dictate every which way you go

What life holds you for today

No where, what or how

You were born with a silver macbook pro in your mouth

Whilst you’re on the top of the world

Mommy and daddy still have their doubts

 

We hate you kids!

For what you did

Or tried to do

You should be killed

And your blood spilled

 

Your cookie cutting

Your imagery means nothing

Behind your 9-string, musically bluffing

Here comes your breakdown

King with a fake crown

Governing shit town

And making shit sounds

On a shit label

With shit intentions

 

We must demolish

this fucking turd you polished

Born to suck

Born to regurgitate other idiots mistakes

Bred to be the same

Bred to be the same

Bred to be the same

Bred for lame

Bred for lame

Bred for lame

 

You finally did it!

From the garage to the stage in 20 minutes

Your ṗersistence paid off

Pointing and clicking makes life so enriching

The future, the way

What’s that they say?

An idiot is born every minute of everyday

The future, the way

What’s that they say?

An idiot is born every minute of everyday

[12:10:04 PM] Gubgub: BUT IT TURNS OUT MY LIFE ISNT BAAAAAAAAAAAAD

[12:10:48 PM] ToBeATree/~Cook: COULD YOU READ THE ABOVE PLEASE?

[12:11:10 PM] Gubgub: i did

[12:11:17 PM] ToBeATree/~Cook: In two seconds?

[12:11:24 PM] Gubgub: yes

[12:11:39 PM] ToBeATree/~Cook: It's a song about people who write stuff with the lyrics you think all metal is.

[12:12:31 PM] Gubgub: but the funniest thing is most of the shit i listen to has no words

[12:12:45 PM] Gubgub: for example ive been listening to this the whole time

[12:13:09 PM] Gubgub: i dont see how its funny now that i said it

[12:13:19 PM] ToBeATree/~Cook: Exactly.

[12:13:36 PM] ToBeATree/~Cook: This is why you're the butt of all my metal hater jokes on MLP Forums.

[12:14:24 PM] Gubgub: what the fuck does metal have to do with mlp?

He provided me with no reasonable argument and just kept being an asshole. It's okay to not like my music, but don't try to convince me that I shouldn't like it. That would be taking away a large majority of my listening.

 

Such as this:

 

[MVC NVMXD JVRXD 2,406]

Alright guys, I have a bone to pick with metal drumming.

Why is it so boring half the time? I love it when it's jazz-influenced, but it's usually just following the guitar the whole time. It's nice when bands like Deftones and ISIS utilize jazz-ier stuff. And Meshuggah. They're AMAZING at stuff like that. But then when I listen to Born of Osiris, it's just the drums acting like another guitar.

I know how you feel man, a lot of metal bands use really bland drumming. I guess that's how they feel that the drums should move into the song. However, jazz based drumming is amazing. Atheist does it so well, and (I'm sure you know them), but give them a listen for their drums. If you've already listened to them, give them another listen. Cynic too.

 

I'm sure you've listened to both, but I'd advise really listening for the jazz based parts of their songs.

 

 

 

Just posting some band I've been listening to lately.

[MVC NVMXD JVRXD 2,406]

Before I go into metal posting, lemme just say that Andrew Jackson Jihad's "People That Can Eat People Are the Luckiest People In the World" is a great album. Folk punk, if I'm correct.

It's funny how Death was one of the forerunners of death metal, and no other death metal band has really had much of an impact on me as much as they have. They just have such a solid instrumentation in their songs, plus Chuck pushed the boundaries of what death metal lyrics could be, with Death's works after "Spiritual Healing".

 

 

TO PROVE THIS, I WILL REPOST THEM TO NO END.
