[Music] Metal

[Gib Lover]

Thrash is sorta my metal roots, in that my dad would always be listening to Metallica and Suicidal Tendencies when I was younger. I actually grew to hate both bands, and I got into Maiden as my "first" metal band I was actually super in to. That led to Children of Bodom and a bunch of melodeath, the first thrash band I got super into was Megadeth when my mom gave me her copy of Rust In Peace.

I'm way late to the party but I just finished Saor's new album, that was pretty good. Might crack my top 10.

What in the holy fuck is this lineup

I'm not gonna pretend like this show wouldn't be a ton of fun to be at, though

That lineup is fucked up, but there's some great bands though. And at least you get to go home early.

Melodeath is the best gateway genre. It opens you up to basically everything

[Gib Lover]

And it never gets old either.

Agreed, my driving music is almost always classic speed/heavy metal or melodeath. Can listen to melodeath all day and never get tired of it

[Cairhiin]

I really don't like melodeath bar a couple of bands. I can listen to good thrash metal and power metal all day though but don't think there's many power metal fans here.

I'm pretty big into PM, my AOTYSF is Avantasia

The Jester Race is GOAT driving music.

Well, the melo-death I listen to nowadays is basically limited to At the Gates up to Slaughter of the Soul, some Dark Tranquillity albums, In Flames up to and including Clayman and some Soilwork albums, but those don't get old for me and it's not like I really dislike the rest.

I like old Dark Tranquillity. The Gallery is an excellent album. I like old At the Gates and the Haunted, but that is probably it. There might be a few more like older Amon Amarth. It's really not for me. Similar with death metal. Again there are some bands I like (Death, Obituary, Gorefest, Nile and some more) but most I can't listen to it. My wife is into brutal death and most of it doesn't appeal to me. It's odd because I like brutal black, and she doesn't.

Yesterday while driving around for work I was jamming Subterranean and Jester Race to see which version of Dead Eternity I liked more.

Slam is a genre I can listen to for like, 1 album at a time max. I see the appeal in the genre and more power to people that can "slam" album after album, but I just can't.

I actually haven't listened to that yet. Gotta look into it.

[Gib Lover]

Anomalies Of Artificial Origin is one of the only slam albums I really like from front to back because of how fun it is.

I feel a doom kick coming on soon, gonna have to rock out to some Reverend Bizarre and Pagan Altar

Shit? Though that's probably a bit too mild a term.

Track of the day - Tank with "Shellshock"

[Duilliath]

New Bethlehem track:

[Gib Lover]

Got the latest Nails EP on vinyl for like 8 bucks, not too shabby.

Also Tank rules

[hellhamster]

Guys from Katatonia, Swallow the Sun and October Tide team up to drop a super sad doom record with heavy synths and female vocals.

I have to confess that I just now discovered the epicness that is Dream Theater. I knew them before, mainly because of Petrucci, but didn't listen into their music too much.

This is the metal of my dreams.

Listen to this, thank me later.

Good stuff.

Apologies if they have been mentioned recently.
