I have a class-mate of mine in my ensemble group who only listen to metalcore and screamo and honestly, every band sounds the same. Same style of riffs, same song structure, same type of vocal, same dark, saddening lyrics, all over.Originally Posted by Vonstroodle
Metal used to be something new and inspring, something that always pushed the edges and drew new lines. Pantera pushed the lines, Alice Cooper pushed the lines, Iron Maiden pushed the lines, while most of these new bands just sit comfortly in the mainstream money-rolling business.
Music is too much about image and "coolness" instead of being music, too many people look away from the soul of music to look at the face of music. It saddens me a great deal.

Saying he's "elitist" is wrong, since he's not. He also didn't correct you, he merely said that it's not like you think it is.

Anaal Nathrakh, Gorgoroth, Urfaust, Dimmu Borgir(Mostly the old stuff), Aborted, 1349, Behemoth and so on. The more noise, the better.
Wow how could I forget about Aborted, I haven't heard that name since 9th grade.Originally Posted by Abomination

You have to know the line between being elitist and being heavily interested in a subject. Most of the new music is poorly made and represented by listeners that don't listen to music, they just hear it without really paying full attention to it. At that point it's just like collecting trading cards, the bands you listen to are your cards and then you compare them to others to see who has the "coolest" cards.Originally Posted by Jairbreaux
It's very rarely about the actual music anymore. This is a fact as our music-industry is highly dominated by money-making. Taking 3 years to write an album to make it really perfect isn't money-making, throwing together 3 albums in 3 years is. The guitar riffs are repetetive, the lyrics are boring, the drum fills sound alike, the titles are unimaginative and the list goes on.
In Sweden we have a term called "fjortis". It's one of those 14-year old girls listening to the newest Pop idol, wearing too much make-up, are dumb as hell and everyone wear the same expensive clothes. This "phenomena" is the other end of the spectrum of "emo". They all listen to mainstream crap music, wear the same clothes and travel in groups.
It's an identity crisis most of the time, you wan't to break free from yourself, your parents and society, but you're not a metalhead for listening to a few metal-bands you heard on the radio.
This is also not being elitist, it's simply the truth. If you would however classify this as elitist, then your view on the whole subject is shrewd.

Hmm.

I've been quite disappointed by Battle Metal :/Originally Posted by Raptorg
/sign, I'm also listening to Stronghold all day atm.Summoning: Tolkien Metal/Symphonic Black Metal. Summoning's music just takes you to another dimension, their lyrics are from The Lord of the Rings and Silmarillion. Their first album, Lugburz, was raw black metal but their later work is something unique and wonderful.
Seriously, this is a band calling themselves True Metal.... I had to laugh so hard the first time I've heard them, later I encountered that wallpaper and facepalmed.Five Finger Death Punch
Thrash/Death metal sucks, they are an affront to the metal genre itself and deserve to be erased. The don't make music at all, they're facerolling their instruments into oblivion -.-On another note, whatever happened to old-school metal? Iron Maiden, Judas Priest (just mentioning the obvious ones). They all seem to be suspiciously lacking from your lists
They aren't any kind of metal, they're simply Industrial.lets start it off:
Rammstein: 1st band i was really, hugely into i still have a place in my heart for Power metal
I love you.Alcest - shoegaze/black metal, they're awesome!
Amesoeurs - Shoegaze/black metal band, too bad they split up after just one full-length!
Burzum - Of course!
Finntroll - folk/black metal from Finland, how can you not love them?
Lunar Aurora - athmospheric black metal, this band is sick!
Summoning - epic black metal, often uses very special almost tribal drum beats, sounds very special!!
Mod edit: read the rules, your own musical tastes does not dictate what does or does not suck.
Any fans of Soilwork here?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcXVnyiQjBE One of my favorite songs made by them.

Always hate when people confuse SOiL with Soilwork.
"What are you listening to?" "Soil." "Oh, Soilwork? They're good!" "... No! SOIL!" Gah.

Metal. Yes, metal. How music is supposed to be. That's just my humble opinion. [Edited out, thanks Raptorg] :P... ah who cares, but one thing is for sure. Some of the peeps who says they hate metal, has prolly NEVER listened to it. The problem seems to be, that many people think "Metal? Oh, screamo crap with distorted sounds and no melody? sawks" :-\
Anyway, back to topic. I'm a fan of.. most metal, though I don't like death, black and doom metal :
I prefer heavy, power, folk, progressive and hard rock 8)

Sexy, I got the cover of We Live tattooed on my right upper arm, working on connecting it with a big nasty tattoo of Cthulu forming a rather twisted looking full sleeve.Originally Posted by DesolatedMaggot
Personally I love Grindcore, Brutal Truth, Pig Destroyer, Physchofagist, etc.
Pulled off a few warmup gigs myself for bands such as Burnt by the sun & HeWhoCorrupts.

I'm not into grindcore, and you'll probably know them, but the guys on my metal forum generally talk about how good Magrudergrind and Maruta are, give them a try if you haven't already.Originally Posted by Positif
Magrudergrind is pretty good, though I'm unsure about Maruta, but these guys do know what they're talking about.
indeed My buddy James has been trying to shift these over to me, going to give them a chance soon.Originally Posted by Raptorg
