The Heavy Metal thread

[scytheavatar]

Since there's a significant interest in metal in this forum, let us share good metal music. What are your favourite bands? My favourite bands are Opeth, Symphony X and Death. After hearing their music I can't help but feel that all the other music out there are weak in comparison. Opeth is simply the most consistently good band ever; you can see how highly rated they are in Rateyourmusic and AMG. Symphony X has the best vocalist, best guitarist, best keyboard player, best bassist and best drummer ever, and The Odyssey is the best song ever. Death has the best guitar riffs ever, although they are a bit on the too progressive side so I guess many people will not like them. I recommend anyone with interest in Heavy Metal to check out these bands.

[MaCcA[7]]

Children Of Bodom, Trivium, MEGADETH!!!!!!!

[Strawberrific]

I'm quite new to the whole genre but I'm enjoying it ever since I was introduced to it. Been listening to metalcore a lot more than metal though...

[afbug1]

To me, Metal is not all about sounding heavy. If I want that, I can listen to early Napalm Death and grindcore metal. I prefer good song writing and good melodies and I think Iron Maiden is 1 of the best in the business.

Some bands that I listen:
Iron Maiden
Sepultura
Cathedral
Megadeth
Metallica
Trivium
Mastodon
Helloween
Kreator
Napalm Death
Queensryche
Manowar

And some
Slayer
Death
Morbid Angel
Sucidal Tendercies

Want to try Arch Enemy next and maybe COB

[FLSH_Metal]

Iron Maiden
Children Of Bodom
Cradle Of Filth
Morbid Angel
Slayer
Megadeth
Stratovarius
The Black Dahlia Murder
Judas Priest
1349
Black Sabbath

Not all under heavy metal, but they are all classified under metal :)

[scytheavatar]

Uh, you guys realize that "metal" is a short-form of "heavy metal", do you?

[doomgaze86]

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Pantera or Lamb of God yet :D

Anthrax was awesome, and I really liked their collaboration with Public Enemy...

Also very impressed with Otep... Her growling vocals make Corey Taylor sound like a little girl... Check out their video for Warhead on youtube...

Don't know if Motorhead counts as metal, but I like them too...

Dethklok is my guilty pleasure... I really like Thunderhorse, Go into the Water and the Murmaider :P

I listen to these bands regularly:
Metallica
Megadeth
Iron Maiden
Cacophony (Marty Friedman's old band!)
Symphony X
Children of Bodom
Every Time I Die (not sure if they're really considered metal)
some Sonata Arctica
Dream Theater
Judas Priest
Suicidal Tendencies
Mastodon (actually, I only like Iron Tusk from Leviathan)
Trivium
Slayer


Also, if you guys are tired of all those annoying poseur-ish rock bands pretending to be hardcore/'metal', you might enjoy this video... Featuring Brian Posehn and Scott Ian of Anthrax... There's even a little tribute to Megadeth's Peace Sells music video :P

Oh ya haha forgot about Pantera and Anthrax. Funny, I pefer Anthrax's B sides to their A sides! :s13:

[ninja_tuner]

my favs are:

Opeth
Carcass
Lamb of God
Danzig
Entombed
Therion
Quo Vadis

[loathed]

wrong. metal is an all encompassing genre, heavy metal being a sub genre.

wrong. metal is also short for heavy metal. however, heavy metal can also refer to classic metal from the 80s and so...but generally, metal is just short for heavy metal.

so its still right, to call say...death metal heavy metal.

[loathed]

And you haven't heard of Michael Romeo, have you?

alot of people can do what muhammed suicmez and romeo do imo...but can you growl and do it at the same time...thats...almost impossible, but not impossible.

We are talking about great guitarists, not guitarists/vocalists. True, there are no shortages of people who can play as fast if not faster than suicmez or romeo, but speed =/= good. How many can play as fast as romeo and still be as clean?

ever heard of melodic death metal? :) there actually are death metal bands with LOTS and LOTS of melodic riffs. im like you too, im always ready for a good melodic riff or solo here and there.

check out some...already mentioned arch enemy, detonation, black dahlia murder, amon amarth, insomnium and of course the legends at the gates.

[Cloudsky]

of course...but you should really listen to some necrophagist albums...epitaph probably. you'll like how clean the tone yes, and yet heavy as hell.

well, its...death metal, thats why some guttural vocals are barely audible. i dont listen to the more dissonant melody lacking extreme metal stuffs like deicide or anything else, and i dont listen to black metal.

you should really listen to ATG...they probably are one of the pioneers of melodic metal/metalcore today. ALOT of melodic metal bands these days cite them as an influence.

[deathan9el]

sure ting i'll checked ATG out...see if i might like it.

well, if you like heavy/thrash metal...and cant stand death/black metal yet...

i suggest something along the lines of classic metal like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.

For thrash metal, of course get some material from the "big 4"...Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax.

from there, i will assure you you will proceed on to much heavier stuffs.

cheers and stay metal. \m/

wow first entry here.. anyone listens to DT? i think they're very decent and will be watching them in jan! best keyboard player is definitely DT's Jordan Rudess.. Symphony X doesnt have very decent vocals in Paradise Lost as well.. Russell Allen sounds a tad bit too strong on the vocals considering that their genre of music is closer to power metal and should have vocals that are a tad bii cleaner... Opeth is indeed consistently good and is very very ernest in their desire to make good music..most unfortunately they will never come to singapore in their near future.. :(

sorry for double posting.. genre wars are crazy.. well i have to agree on this one though.. heavy metal is metal.. there are no specific attibutes of heavy metal that will distuish itself/ sets it aside as a unique sub genre.. bands that are classified as heavy metal are almost always classified as another more specific subgenre.. didnt you guys notice that?

i was randomly listening to some metal and i found this band called sencirow. their latest album called the nightmare within was really good, altho this video stank. some form of thrash metal/power metal? . i would think watching the video is kinda the pointless, get the album!

Yes, its avaliable in SG already. Most places selling for $19.90 but HMV's price is $17.90 and that 2 disc Essential Maiden is going for $14.90 only. lol I think the 2 disc is the better buy but less tracks from the 80s.

BTW, Aces High is a live track, right after track 1 live intro. Track 1 and 2 are from
Live After Death.

Yeah this compilation got nothing attractive for Maiden fans. All the songs any fan will already have them. Buy is just buy for the sake of buying and the cover art only. :s22:

Just bought Cavalera Conspiracy yesterday. Quite excellent if you're into Sepultura/Soulfly.

Its very good. Max's growling like getting more aggressive and deadly! :s13:

Song like Inflikted, Sanctuary and Bloodbrawl are excellent. 'Must Kill' is another outstanding track.

Hmm........I dun own any Soulfly albums, maybe will get this when its out.

[icyhell]

i must say i dun really like cavalera. they sort of likie trying to emulate sepultura all over again but not really getting there.

[afbug1]

i must say i dun really like cavalera. they sort of likie trying to emulate sepultura all over again but not really getting there.

lol they ARE Sepultura. After Max left, Sepultura isn't the same anymore.

[Vittra]

The thing with sepultura is that after Chaos AD...they aren't the same anymore.
Choosing to be more Nu-Metal instead.
I mean on roots; Johnathan from Korn was invited for guest vocalist.
To me, Max was leading Sepultura in a down spiral.
Him leaving is actually for the better.
Look at Soulfly / Nailbomb...its band with Max which is not exactly progressing anywhere.
Green is actually not a bad vocalist. Just have to give him a chance and not read too much into reviews and throw everything you know about Sepultura out of the window.

[Vittra]

i must say i dun really like cavalera. they sort of likie trying to emulate sepultura all over again but not really getting there.

The thing is there are many era to Sepultura's sound.
You must be referring to the Root's sound ya.
Imho...thats not exactly their peak.

[icyhell]

i would say chaos era is still the best. im definitely not a big fan of cavalera right now.

Sepultura's sound is constantly evolving from Morbid Visions right to Roots, every album has a different sound and feel. I have Nation and I think its so so only.

BTW, I'm not a fan of Sepultura or Max, just like their music and I find CC's 1st album is good.

Why dun you guys give CC a chance then? But music is subjective, what I think is good u might not like.

Disturb? lol I tot you refering to Deicide initially. Alsonever heard of their music before.

[deathan9el]

testament? well...i dunno..to each his own liking ...i guess.
not a big fan either. :o

but pretty much in de same veins wif exodus/'tallica...
juz click on their webbie...sample a track from their latest album.
mayb u might like it...mayb u dont. :D

[icyhell]

testament is really good. definitely beats metallica now anyway. totally old school thrash.

[ninja_tuner]

yeah Testament kicksass!!

they're one of my fav thrash bands...especially when skolnick's around :D

[afbug1]

Wah u all say until like that. Dun want to buy also cannot liao. :s13:

[InnocentBlood]

I still feel that the only Maiden compilation worth buying is the Best of the Beast 2CD set, though I did break down and buy Ed Hunter many years ago :)

[scytheavatar]

ftwBrUEVlcI

Testament is easily better than Metallica, even at their prime (but then again there are a load of Thrash bands better than Metallica). I suggest checking out The New Order and The Legacy.

[scytheavatar]

Oh, and I recommend everyone to check out the new Keep of Kalessin, available in full (!!!!) @ http://www.myspace.com/keepofkalessin. Great stuff.

like i always said...individual taste of music varies. ;)

I still feel that the only Maiden compilation worth buying is the Best of the Beast 2CD set, though I did break down and buy Ed Hunter many years ago :)

I think the 2 CD Essential Maiden is a good buy cos it has the nice songs from X and XI. So no need to buy hese 2 albums liao. =:p But hardcore Maiden fans will buy them anyway.

[heavymetalrox]

This is what I listen to:

Power:
Avantasia (opera metal supergroup)
Control Denied (with Death's members in it)
Dark Moor
Divinefire
Firewind
Iced Earth (with progressive, thrash, speed metal influences)
Lost Horizon
Myrath (power melodic progressive influences, VERY similar to Symphony X)
Outworld
Royal Hunt
Sonata Arctica
Symphony X (prog/power)

Progressive (favourite genre so far):
Ayreon
Circus Maximus
Devin Townsend/The DT Band
Dominici (ex-Dream Theater vocalist! his voice has changed quite abit too)
Dream Theater (!!!)
Fates Warning
Green Carnation
John Petrucci
Liquid Tension/Trio Experiment (basically Dream Theater without vocals/Trio = without Petrucci)
Opeth
Pain of Salvation
Porcupine Tree (I know not metal, but close enough Prog Rock, they just kick ass)
Riverside
Threshold
X Japan

Death:
Continuo Renacer (jazzy progressive death instrumentals)
Disarmonia Mundi (with Soilwork members IIRC)
Sculptured
Wintersun (progressive/melodic death influences, can't wait for their newest album "Time"!!)

Metalcore:
Darkest Hour

Heavy:
Dio
Iron Maiden

Thrash:
Metallica
Megadeth

Misc:
Ensiferum (good black metal)
Mammatus (excellent doom)
Electric Wizard (another good doom/stoner)
maudlin of the Well (avant-garde) now called: Kayo Dot
Subterranean Masquerade
Turisas
Yndi Halda (some good post-rock)
Muse (yeah!)
The Cure (really great rock)
Led Zeppelin (do I need to say more?)
An Endless Sporadic (unsigned Progressive/Rock/Metal band, featured on Guitar Heroes III)

*Bolded ones are the better bands I like =p

Basically I think metal is quality music. Not to put down other genres, but I just can't get of the "metal zone", it's like once you're in it you're addicted to it like drugs(in the good way)! Post more people, I hope my list helps you guys to expand your music horizons!

[icyhell]

wooo another fan of electric wizard! fuggin A!

[scytheavatar]

Your list has a disturbing lack of Black Metal in it......... I recommend you to get the following albums now:

Immortal: At the Heart of Winter, Sons of Northern Darkness
Emperor: In the Nightside Eclipse
Diabolical Masquerade: Death's Design
Moonsorrow: Kivenkantaja
Keep of Kalessin: Through Times Of War, Kolossus
Burzum: Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Limbonic Art: In Abhorrence Dementia

And I recommend you to get Disillusion: Back to Times of Splendor. Every Prog-metal fan must have it.

[heavymetalrox]

Wow scytheavatar thanks for the recommendations man, I'm not really into black metal but some black metal are still tolerable to me. I've heard Agalloch is good, is it true?

[scytheavatar]

If you love Opeth then chances are you'll love Agalloch. Provided you don't mind the fact that their songs are more repetitve. Do check out The Mantle.

BTW Ensiferum is not Black Metal, it's melodeath like Wintersun. If you like these 2 bands you must check out Amon Amarth - With Oden on Our Side.

And if you don't like Black Metal you still should check out Immortal, cause they're really awesome.

[InnocentBlood]

you don't listen to Black Sabbath?

[icyhell]

no love for kalmah ard here?

Edguy is awesome. Hellfire club is a must have. Hibria and Helloween are great too. Demons & Wizards is a hit and miss; I prefer their Blind Guardian and Iced Earth stuff more.

[heavymetalrox]

Just got back from a long period of break, school project work etc. hahaz

anyway I acquired a bunch of stuff lately.

You were right man Edguy IS pretty damn awesome. Hellfire club is a must have for power metal fans. Loved it especially for The Piper Never Dies, it's an epic 10/10 song.

Disillusion - Back to Times of Splendor is indeed a must-have for Progressive Metal lovers, loved it much!

To melodic death/power metal fans, Raintime is the band for you as they combine clean and harsh vox into their songs and make it more interesting to listen to.

His vocals sounds more melodic to me. :s12::s12:

Heaven Shall Burn has been collaborating with Caliban for quite some time. Thats why I wanna check out Caliban. And I did, and its not bad :P

Actually it took me awhile to get used to LOG, at first i was like "meh". but i figured it started to get good the more i listen to it. lol.

And KSE definitely rocks too :P

Nevertheless, still rocking hard

[zirkelloch]

Before all the american metalcore bands surfaced, Swedish bands like CARNAGE, NIHILIST, DISMEMBER, ENTOMBED, DARK TRANQUILITY & AT THE GATES are the forefathers of those kind beats that nowadays american metalcore tried to play. That was like almost 20 years ago by now. Pay homage to the real forefathers of such style! Even IN FLAMES are not in their league!

wif all due respect to de bands u mentioned...cant really blame any1 for their ignorance or even aware of their existence. tbh..onli ENTOMBED/DT tat me've listened to..& for de latter me still does till now.

So damn true man
Usually when buying CDs, i look out for the special/limited edition version. Its worth the money spending that extra dollar just for extra specials.
But sometimes, special edition packages are :S you know.. crappy packaging and all, lol.

I planned on getting AE's Rise Of the Tyrant album days weeks ago but I think i have to delay the process a little. Cause i just spent the money getting LOG's Walk With Me In Hell DVD :S

DVDs are really worth the money imho. Get to watch their documentary and performances, best thing ever.

Btw where do you usually go to when purchasing metal records? O_o

[zirkelloch]

i think you need to include Death and Vader in that list haha. without Death, there is no death metal.

Yes, Death is 1 of those bands that starts the deathly sound of metal in those days. Scream Bloody Gore is undisputable. Then Death move on to shape the American Technical Death Metal where their original and revered raw and simple chords were left behind for the rest to pick up and continue the haunting death metal style expansion. While Vader, they were the forefathers for european brutal death metal style. To choose between Vader and Death nowadays, I prefer Vader 150% more. Nothing beats up a morning glory in the MRT on a huge headphone listening to VADER's straight to the face kinda death metal. Their music is an inspirational source to pick up a fight!

Anyway, about the Swedish metal bands for the beginners, Entombed, Carnage, Nihilist, Dismember are those bands that represent the Stockholm sound. They are just raw, sometimes dabble with the fine line of punk beats and dirtier sound while Dark Tranquility & At The Gates represent the Gothenburg sound where they emphasize more on technical and very melodic chords plus cleaner studio sounds.
