Metal Thread (Heavy Black Death Folk Symphonic Avant-garde Industrial Thrash...)

[Down]

Following the observation in Kaguya's thread that there were several metal fans in Fuwa.

 

Discuss and share here your favorite bands and songs, latest discoveries, concerts you went to, etc...

 

As per usual, no more than one unspoilered video per post, all the rest under spoiler to not trouble people with toasters and/or terrible connections (such as myself >_>)

 

I'll start off with a band I consider as the best atmospheric black metal band ever - though I admittedly don't like black metal much usually. Kinda fitting for winter season.

You can imagine how sad I felt when I saw that they put back together the band (the singer is dead and the other guys made Vred) for the Hellfest... then realized the Hellfest was precisely during my exams --"

\m/ Well done Downs. For the first reply

Equilibrium does a nice long growl in this.

 

I'll take a look of that song too. Haven't seen it around before.

 

Also what's your main band(s) you guys listen to?

Mine is Slipknot and Rage against the machine.

[Nayleen]

I don't really like Black Metal, but Windir are amazing. My favorite song of theirs:

I'm more into Melodeath, like Kalmah for example:

This is probably as "hard" as it's going to get for me:

\o/ What a great first reply for this thread. Equilibrium is one my favorite band. The Sagas album is just orgasmically good.

 

 

 

Eh, a french band. They sing in french too at some point it seems. Feels weird >_>

I think I saw them in concert somewhere. Sounds pretty good =)

[Nayleen]

It's a German band after all, has to be good Metal.

[Lewycool]

Germany do indeed produce high class metal music.

 

Lately I've been listening to Igorrr who adds a multiple of genres, which are normally breakcore, Baroque, Death Metal and Grindcore.

 

I recommend you to check out the album Nostril.

[Flutterz]

I don't listen to metal much, but I do have a few bands I enjoy from time to time.

[Nosebleed]

Hm.. i don't know if i have a lot of black metal i actually listen to

I'm more into the melodic death metal side

 

Does this fit the bill enough?

Sorry that it's not black metal

Totally fine, except for Windir-like stuff I don't really like black metal anyway

[Imationer]

Well, I'm too mainstream for my metal sometimes. Still, I absolutely love Ayreon, every iteration of it.

 

[Hoshizora]

Does Post-Hardcore count?

I really like In Flames, it was one of my favorites during my big metal phase a few years ago.

 

Other favorites : Children of Bodom, Dimmu Borgir, Gamma Ray(one of my friends is a HUGE Gamma Ray fan, I really like them as well), Eluveitie, Iced Earth,  pre-Black Album Metallica, Iron Maiden, Helloween are those that come to mind at the moment.

I also love Bodom, Maiden and Helloween as well. Also Dream Theater and many of their side projects, such as LTE and Transatlantic.

[Forythos]

Yeah, I also like Dream Theater.  I still need to listen to their newer stuff, I haven't really been following the metal scene in a while.  (Well, I recently discovered Eluveitie through a friend.)

Download a high-quality version of this song, the opening riff is so immensely sick!

[hotsauce2000]

I like a lot of different genres within the general term of 'metal', but one of my favorites is probably hardcore.

 

Here's a great song from the American hardcore band Norma Jean.

[Kaguya]

Have some Brazillian metal. Not particularly my thing, but I thought I'd post it here anyway:

 

Also, some Brazillian joke metal using words that don't actually exist and the most ridiculous lyrics you could think of:

 

[Zakamutt]

To me, thrash metal will probably always be best metal. I started out with Metallica from what I know, but eventually Megadeth really grew on me. And damn if this song doesn't have everything I like about metal: awesome riffs, solos, and lyrics about merciless demons killing people because fuck human lives.

[Sioxz]

This is the only Rock/Metal music i can listen to it's a swedish band which is quite good

[Mevvrynne]

Most of the time I listen to Thrash Metal like Metallica, but I will often enough listen to things such as 
 

Manntis:

And I used to listen to a lot of Shadows Fall when I was younger:

Someone resurrected the Music thread, I thought I'd necro that one too.

 

I created this thread in Winter when I was listening to black metal and stuff, but lately I've been in the mood for good old epic power metal.

Songs of the stories of mighty nordic warriors, elves, dragons and dwarves fighting alongside holy angels against the unholy evil dark lord of fear and agony as foretold by the mystic prophecies of the old ancient wise guardians. (Enough keywords yet?)

 

My reference in the genre is Rhapsody of Fire of course

 

One my favorites:

Another favorite, from a rather recent album:

[Lewycool]

Makes me laugh for some reason...
