Metalhead? Let's unite!

[BlackMoo]

hahaha wow swear by your axe eh.

Once a metalhead always a metalhead \m/

 

[Panopticon-3]

yea celtic frost is back but their new stuff sounds very stoner/doom

 

[melvin]

im not a big fan of metal but i think that genre is rich with lots of interesting and creative guitar riffs, and hell yeah.. unholy drums! haha

i guess i need some introduction to good metal music too

 

[empihsrow]

Listen to Opeth and Lamb of God.

Two bands you cannot miss out!

 

[yy_fuctup]

listen to elmo's world

 

[iamnotaposeur]

I like metal becos it's cool. Metal forever!

Let's bring metal to Singapore Idol! Check out Linkin Park on my blog!

 

[yy_fuctup]

linkin park sucks.its not metal.metal is stuff like behemoth,dimmu borgir,cannibal corpse,autopsy,amon amarth,slayer,etc..get ur genres right.

elmo's world.

 

[subversion]

don't split hairs. metal is metal, regardless of its manifestation. there are loads of pop-tinged metal outfits out there; some like them, some don't. if you have certain preferences, do not castigate the rest.

 

[Jem777]

Lol, dimmu has turned teh gay. They were a good symphonic black band, not anymore.

 

[wasp]

I have never considered nu-metal, metalcore or any metal wannabe trends as part of the genre but I consider them to have metal influences.

 

[yy_fuctup]

yea true.dimmu turned kinda gay.like cradle did.how sad.how tragic.but linkin park is not metal.thats common sense.

 

[subversion]

a band deserves to have their musical directions, Dimmu included. so if they choose not to propel whatever they started off with, it doesn't make them 'lousy'. opeth is one.

i'm currently engaged in a heated discussion with a few 'purists' as to wheather Blut Aus Nord's new release, MoRT, is 'black metal' per se. if it isn't, is the band lousy for doing so?

 

[yy_fuctup]

i never said anything bout lousy.if u can read.

 

[subversion]

same to you- did i say you said lousy?

i'm giving an instance of how a band choosing to veer off its original pedigree would be deemed as no good/ lacking.

 

[rx7]

Dimmu sold out

 

[Jem777]

They made some exceptional Black Metal in their early days. Stormblast is/was one of their best works. Then they degenerated to a pop-band that uses rock song formats with catchy sing-a-long lyrics of pointless pseudo blasphemy. Hail Satan! ...
:wink:

 

[subversion]

Stormblast was indeed exceptional- i enjoy the subsequent re-recording featuring Hellhammer.

 

[Jem777]

So what's up with Blut Aus Nord's new release? Haven't had a chance to listen to it yet.

 

[subversion]

simply put, MoRT strayed from The Work Which Transformed God but IMO the deviation was tasteful & still very Blut Aus Nord. the change was notably in the guitars which are quite devoid of the typical back metal grind passages but keep in mind that majority of the tracks feature fretless guitars.

 

[drex]

power violence and grindcore!
