The Official Metal/Hardcore Thread


~NOiSE~

Recommended Posts

Korn and Slipknot used to be my jams in Elementary school though Korn dont do anything for me while i dont mind a few Slipknot tracks. as Coral mentioned Slipknot are Nu Metal, some examples of Hardcore would be stuff like Converge, Shai Hulud, Birds In Row, Code Orange Kids, Loma Prieta, United Nations, Full of Hell and The Saddest Landscape.

 

DARKSPACE <3 though i havent heard too much of their stuff.

 

AOTY is hard to decide this year

Moog you should check these guys out when you have the means to do so. Industrialized, avant-garde black metal. I just got both of these albums yesterday.

 

 

i wont have the means to for a while coming though that band sounds so far up my alley, but in the meantime more Industrialized stuff

I used to like that band a bit but it didn't last long tbh. They have some cool moments but not enough to bring me back a second time.

 

A guy I know on sputnikmusic.com has released two solo black metal albums, and they're awesome. This is his latest one.

to me A Clear Perception sounds kind of like a Deathcore version of Misery Signals and By Sunset has a nice Proggy kind of Melodeath feel to it that i can dig i havent listened to anything else theyve done though. got to my dads and im now downloading a ton of stuff gonna try out some Cult Leader and Static-X. was gonna check out Dodheimsgard and the new BoO but i couldnt get links to any of them.

 

ill listen to that guys stuff sometime soon

While you're at it check out SPECTRAL LORE for some amazing cosmic progressive black metal, these guys blow me away.

ill go for Spectral Lore today. tried to find that Immortal Rites album but I couldnt find any links for it and all the tracks arent up on YouTube so I decided to try out a different obscure Melodeath band, which was Dark Age. They were okay but surprisingly very Alternative sounding,to say it the Swedish Melodeath elements were pretty downplayed in favour of the Alternative riffs. Also ended up finding a link to the new Born of Osiris and it was just okay, the only tracks that really stuck out at me were The Other Half of Me and Illuminate, the rest was just meh. Cult Leader were good as well.

 

stuck on Melodeath now

Spectral Lore is amazing, some of the best recent black metal I've heard.

 

I know Dark Age, I used to be pretty big on them. Their music isn't mind-blowing but they're very catchy and they have a lot of great choruses. The singer's clean vocals are super slick and captivating.

ill trust you on Spectral Lore and yeah that sums up how I feel about Dark Age, not mindblowing but still catchy and great to listen to when the mood calls for something like it, ive only listened to Minus Exitus and Acadia, will probably listen to their older stuff since Ive heard that its more closer Melodeath.

I actually haven't heard anything before their s/t, so I can't comment on it. 

 

What I can comment on is that all of your avis seem to be of things that I would totally bang. 

 

Except Taokaka might scratch me. Worth it?

 

Also Drudkh. 

 

 

Oh wow I just saw your cover photo

YES ME~

 

You should check out more Drudkh, everything up to Microcosmos is stellar atmospheric black metal, though Handful of Stars divided listeners a bit with some post-rock/shoegaze influence. Eternal Turn of the Wheel was a bit of a return to form but with a slightly modern sound, and the latest one, A Furrow Cut Short, has again divided fans by forgoing most of their traditional atmospheric elements in favor of a heavy, polished "wall of sound" approach. 

 

Oh Vanilla you are so motherly

ill keep that in mind, kind of waiting til the snow starts falling to go for a cold bleak Black Metal binge. Vanilla is top bunny milf lel.

Yes she is! Ninamori is my favorite pairing for Naota, and almost definitely the one he ends up with (seeing as what the other two do in the end).

 

Kalmah actually predates Children of Bodom by two years if you count both band's times under different names haha.

Haruko is my favorite character from FLCL but yeah she was pretty much a jabroni to Naota in the end.

 

Never knew about Kalmah predating CoB since Im a bit new to Kalmah but that was more supposed to be a joke. I think I like CoB better though since im much more familiar with their stuff. Kalmah are sort of the heavier sibling to CoB.

 

been listening to The Physics of Fire more recently, really not too sure if I like it better than Terminate Damnation or not

I don't really love CoB much anymore though their early stuff is great, never really got in to Kalmah but I'm very picky with my melodeath.

 

The Physics of Fire is pretty good but it would be great if it had more Dan Seagrave art, production more like Terminate Damnation, a better title and no clean singing. Terminate Damnation is way better in my opinion.

eh I like everything theyve done except for Relentless Reckless Forever and I havent listened to Blooddrunk. Kalmah are good to me and im more on the middle line with Melodeath, for every good band theres one or two bad ones to accompany it.

 

The Psychics of Fire is one of those albums where the more I listen to it the more I like it, I will agree with you on the production though I dont have anything against the clean vocals. The artwork needed work too though that doesnt effect the album as a whole for me, the title of the album doesnt really bother me too much but it does sound really meh.

The production on The Physics of Fire just sounds bland to me, I like the more organic sound of Terminate Damnation. The clean vocals on "Immolation" kind of take me out of the song, they're pretty mediocre and don't really work in my opinion and I wish they just left them out. The title and art are probably minor nitpicks but those things can influence the way an album feels and (to me) is important for establishing the aesthetic that the band is going for. All that being said, the music on the album is pretty awesome, but would be better way better if backed by an overall more interesting aesthetic i.e. more organic production, cooler art and better title. 

 

I found Portal's Swarth at the music store today and I think it alone may have shifted my opinion on the band in a more positive direction, it's badass. Gotta relisten to the other two that I have now.

not much for me to say other than Im fine with the clean vocals. the production i really wish stayed more in the lines of Terminate Damnation which is really the only thing that keeps me from saying that its better. really sucks that they went downhill on Dichotomy and Celestial Completion and then went totally off the rails with I Am.

 

I dont listen to too much Portal but they are great, Swarth is a nice album.

Spent way too much money this weekend, so I'm going to chill out when it comes to buying music for a bit. Ordered Spectral Lore's Sentinel and III, Leviathan's Massive Conspiracy Against All Life, Ethereal Shroud's They Became the Falling Ash, and bought Portal's Swarth. I think I'll have enough listening material to last me a bit. I'm stoked to get all of these, they're all amazing albums.

Leviathan are good but I find them difficult to listen to so I very rarely check their stuff out and would probably never consider buying them. Have yet to go through Spectral Lore or Eternal Shroud but I will listen to some of their material at home, cant download anything til another two weeks though.
