The Heavy Metal thread

[icyhell]

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!

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

And for some Dismember:

not bad realy ... thx for de recom.

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?

 

[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.

Well, yeah. you got the point about the whole thing on preference taste. But at the same time too, we as the people who had listened to extreme metal for already quite time will need to educate some of these newbies that there are more great ****s other than just listening to Dimmu Borgir, COF, In Flames, Linkin Park, Metallica alone.

even in dis thread alone..sm of de vids posted...quite nice & worth checking it out.

 

[Atsushi]

Extreme metal lol, COF.
I believe those guys were in their element during their own time.as time progresses, some other people will pick up or learn from those dudes and try out different things.

you definitely have a point about the preference thing. I salute the forefathers of metal, no doubt.

for me, I felt like the music just felt old and just move on to something new. Seasons change, get what i mean

 

[icyhell]

seasons change, and so can i. hehehe. but vader has constantly been updating their sounds while staying brutally death. definitely one of my all time favs. but i've been experimenting with some doom/sludge lately. cult of luna and amorphis anyone?
