>>131887909Could've done without the covers (even if they are still good) but outside of that, really fun. Has my favorite BOC song on here (Hot Rails to Hell) too, and it fucking smokes so that's a plus. Seconding.
/metal/ is making fun of us again :(
Holy diaperYou've been drowned too long in my midnight peeOh what's coming out of meRide the cacaYou can smell it's stench and you know I ain't cleanOh don't you see what i meanGotta get changedHoly diaper
I don't think about /metal/ at all
>>131889667SHOT THROUGH THE HEART, AND YOU'RE TO BLAME
>>131872243>The best recorded renditions of the song on Stormrider, with Barlow on vocals.While I agree it *sounds* better, I prefer Travel in Stygian with Greely. It just sounds more haunting.
>>131887909Second listen for this. I would've preferred more heavy cuts like Knock You Out or Hang 'Em High, and Earthshaker not being here is a downright crime, but the tracklist is still solid and Meniketti's at the top of his game. Nominating.
MOTORCYCLE MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I watched your set for like 2 minutes then walked outside to go watch another band. I didn't know...I DIDN'T KNOW!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC-UX6Adklo
>>131889972i thought it was barlow on night of the stormrider for the longest time. i still can't really tell the difference. they both sound so similar.
>>131887970obligatory
>>131890166I listened to that for the first time the other day. It was fucking amazing, dude. I only had one minor, minor issue and that was Bruce completely fucks up that high note in Aces High's final chorus, sounds like he shredded his throat there.
>>131890218To me, it sounded like one of his snarls which he does on Moonchild Also while I'm at it, Alive in Athens and Live Evil should absolutely be recommended live metal albumsAlive in Athens in particular. Like, you hear that album and you think, "holy shit, that arena must have been electric" and then you see the video and it's just a tiny fucking clubhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4pYMHGPcRU
Hell's Heroes lineup for next year is out and it's...I don't know. May be worth it for Overkill, but I only like their first album. May also be the first edition of the festival I skip.
>>131890297Counted both of your votes, and here's what we've got so far. With the 3-votes, anyway. I need to get listening to some of the 1-votes lol. >Alive in Athens in particular. Like, you hear that album and you think, "holy shit, that arena must have been electric" and then you see the video and it's just a tiny fucking clubI'm hesitant to listen to that one because the only IE record I've ever listened to is the debut.
>>131890399>the only IE record I've ever listened to is the debutthat's surprisingyou could at least check out Night of the Stormrider for even more riffage, but Matt Barlow, the longtime vocalist, started on Burnt Offerings all the way to Horror Show before returning for a meh reunion in 2008They also re-recorded most of the first two albums with Barlow on pic related, but it's not necessarily an improvement

>>131887970scorpions - tokyo tapes
>>131890448Alive in Athens is honestly the best version of their early songs.
>>131887898Not that this is exactly the general for it, but all the controversy about James Hetfield reminds me of this:https://youtu.be/R5y0IPH5AlE
>>131887970I'm voting Ghost in the Ruins too
>>131890399Live Evil is cool just to hear Dio do some Ozzy songs
>>131893603>>131896150Votes counted, Tokyo Tapes added. Though I'm a surprised that I'm the only one to nominate WWL, that's a great show of mid 80s Scorps and the version of Another Piece of Meat on there fucking slaps.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kJwTcnoZV0
>>131896006Surely you can post garbage in your dozen other threads here instead of polluting this general
>>131897495Don't enagage the attention whore
>>131887909Holy Solos goes on too long but the rest is ace, this band plays fucking good live. Nominating.
>>131898827Heil Nazivariushttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TAblfGQ4lkBtw for that "Power Metal for people who don't like Power Metal" guy, I'm sure Stratovarius with Tolkki on vocals would qualify.
>>131899508We hate this dogshit garbage here. Straponintheassius sucks doberman dongs.
>>131899650Correct.
Power Shital is not trad. It's not even metal. One might argue it is not even music. Basically just disgusting noise, less appealing than even farts or the sound of an old man shitting himself until he dies an horrible death.
>>131899508Yeah, Fright Night fits that category.

Tony Iommi’s Final Goodbye to Ozzy Osbourne: The Painful Reality Behind the LegendFor Tony Iommi, seeing Ozzy Osbourne in his final years meant confronting a heartbreaking reality: the man who once seemed indestructible had become increasingly frail.The Prince of Darkness, famous for his wild performances and unmistakable voice, had endured years of serious health problems. Parkinson’s disease, spinal injuries and multiple operations had taken a devastating toll, leaving him with severely limited mobility and dependent on assistance in everyday life.The contrast with the energetic frontman who once ruled the stage was painful. His body had been through years of illness, and the independence he once took for granted had diminished.There have also been claims about Ozzy requiring diapers or incontinence products in his later years. Without a reliable source confirming this detail, however, it would be unfair to present it as an established fact or claim that Tony Iommi personally witnessed it.For Iommi, who had known Ozzy since Black Sabbath’s beginnings in Birmingham, the sight of his old friend struggling with his health would have carried a special sadness. They had helped change music forever, sharing decades of triumphs, conflicts and memories.Ozzy died on July 22, 2025, aged 76, just weeks after Black Sabbath’s farewell concert.The man who once roared before millions was gone. Behind the legend was a human being whose body had suffered, whose strength had faded and whose final years were a reminder that even rock gods cannot outrun mortality.The music remains. The loss is permanent.
>>131887909Heard little from these guys before, thought they were a bit too cheesy. But I'm checking this out right now and enjoying it, cheese is good when you're in the right mood
>>131887898Looking for some solid AOR/Metal crossovers, folks. The older, the better. I'm thinking stuff that's in the vein of the following:https://youtu.be/pBP4hTPTyC8https://youtu.be/v1BhVntSe3Mhttps://youtu.be/a-_mm5_yiKIhttps://youtu.be/BDCrIOGe4t8Some modern bands are okay, but they always feel like they're lacking something that endures after the song ends, even when the production is top-notch:https://youtu.be/RWZPxzPavRAhttps://youtu.be/3KLLJOStFY8https://youtu.be/e6u8PQdUYkM
>>131902780try thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKmY7kyX-Jwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSmP3ElT0lE
>>131903604HA! I got that Leatherwolf album on LP. I spun it once and liked it. These are the highlights for me:https://youtu.be/12Ut7oIKu8ghttps://youtu.be/zgay9rUfB_gI know Icon and like that album. Reminds me a lot of Europe but more riff forward.I'm looking for Heavy Metal with more prominent synths and big choruses that are commonly featured in AOR. Power Metal is fine so long as it's not too flowery. Heavy riffs plus epic synths:https://youtu.be/zgjgmcmGjV8
There's also the band Crystal Pride:https://youtu.be/FLmtzKY_NXs

https://youtu.be/XSLOmZoisto?t=38Power Metal rules.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eV_UCRt0TRMNot only an awesome album cover, but an awesome album.
>>131903657Heir Apparent has got you covered (for a few songs at least)https://youtu.be/YQVRSKSYdsQ?si=EuwJxrKpIXknuz7Uhttps://youtu.be/ensSlhUP01A?si=WoXcyPdEVvkZ-1QLhttps://youtu.be/JW04befoh-U?si=T6hxZeZOPQtUluDJ (this one might just be straight up AOR desu)
Now THIS is metalhttps://youtu.be/klbaF9SPyBk?t=106
>>131909747>>131910268been a while negru. glad you finally joined the correct metal general
why didn't glam/thrash take off
>>131911297 >why didn't the genres that took off in the 80s take offare you a /metal/ denizen trying to shitpost?
>>131911335No, I think he means an actual glam metal and thrash hybrid. I've heard of a few albums being described like that but I don't know whether they're just like, commercial USPM.
>>131911335what this guy said >>131911352basically, thrash instrumentation with glam vocals
>>131911352in that case, i reckon it's because both scenes largely did not like each other. before the internet era you largely had to conform to whatever your friends listened to or you got ridiculed. if you liked metallica and poison, that was a problem and you would get bullied for it. it was probably hard to get off the ground a band that combined both of them.only band i can think of off the top of my head is WASP but even then they're more just straight heavy metal that embraced the glam aesthetic.
>>131911425>>131887898Why do so many people neglect Inside the Electric Circus from W.A.S.P.'s classic era? Admittedly, I haven't spun The Last Command as much, and when put next to The Headless Children and the debut, it would pale in comparison, but even so, it's got these great tunes:https://youtu.be/JTLHpd-5Qgwhttps://youtu.be/uCNDJ6INNMohttps://youtu.be/9uD9x0Q-IKs
>>131911352Like Toxic?
>>131911503Shut up you child-molesting tripfcancer
>>131910374Thanks for these. All three were very much what I was seeking. I'd say 'Tomorrow Night" was a solid mix of both AOR and Metal although a bit more Hard Rock the other two tunes.
>>131912968Eat farts loser
We're back!https://youtu.be/0GI7LrSHYaU
>>131887909First time I've heard anything by these guys. Solid Saxon-esque trad, highlight was the opener (and it's a not a contest) but everything here is worth your time. I do think Sortilege and Blaspheme are better bands, though. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k9hl3LM7PqwhT5KMpEDa77rd_WsFGpArM
>>131915032Definitely one of my favorite from the French scene. I'm not sure any '80s French Metal band could outdo Désir de vampyr by Blasphème.Here are some other favorites some of you are probably already familiar with but are worth mentioning ITT.High Power:https://youtu.be/URX1k_rGvt0Killers:https://youtu.be/7ngHhOB3PtYPonce Pilate:https://youtu.be/drVCFKgKfG4Satan Jokers:https://youtu.be/wKgy87FHiDQShelder:https://youtu.be/vLj_rj1nhF4Vulcain:https://youtu.be/ntpT_Hp93y8Voodoo Child:https://youtu.be/jt0SJqlgH70Warning:https://youtu.be/SkLb_FZtOi0

>>131919985Site was read-only for like a day because PHP had to be updated.
>>131887909Got an original 1982 Mercury CD of this a few weeks ago, sounds so fucking good on my stereo, holy shit.
What do you guys think of the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal (NWOTHM)? It's cheesy but fun.Skull Fisthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsH4dUJfso0Eternal Championhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GyYblkXHmgDoomSword (also trad doom)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0LHxcRBT_kRedSharkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDzCOTItv08White Wizzardhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dclEcojPlrMEnforcerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYUJkg2SiZAIt's not my favorite thing, but it's fun. I like that it's a little heavier than power metal, though some of these have a little more hair metal influence than I'd like.
>>131922383>What do you guys think of the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal (NWOTHM)? Not much, because I don't listen to them that often. I've heard plenty of good records but there's only two bands that stick out to me in my head for being exceptionally good: Riot City and Flight.
>>131922451That's fair, and I can't believe I forgot to include Riot City.I agree, I enjoy it when I think to look it up and these bands seem good live, I saw Spirit Adrift open for Cryptopsy/Necrot and they were great. But when I really want to listen to my favorite stuff I'm more into blackened doom/sludge. NWOTHM is more of a fun curiosity for me.
>>131922383Most are okay but I tend to prefer heavy bands from the '70s and '80s. One cool about new bands: old bands reissue their catalogs thanks to renewed intrigue.My favorite modern band would be High Spirits:https://youtu.be/Dw1f0whtyLMhttps://youtu.be/oCz3LExPhsshttps://youtu.be/2aOS2Ah6nWA
>>131922583nice, thanks for the recommendation!
>>131922383I like more speed-y bands like Tower, Hell Fire, Demon Bitch, Cruel Force, Vulture, Solicitor, Aggressive Perfector, Venator, Riot City, Significant Point
>>131922634I like Riot City a lot, but I don't know any of the other bands you just mentioned, so I'll check them out!
>>131922583Guitars in the first track sound fucking awesome. Not super keen on the vocals but the guitarwork more than makes up for that. Might give it a shot.
>>131922659I like their debut demo comp and Another Night the most:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_klMCHIYPyRJrEZprbOzydKprxPh-IN6q8https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_muwbf9XZVppbpajim-vyCRsSZichaDIn0
>>131887909Here we go
>>131922729I've got Another Night playing right now. All I hear is Scorpions and JP (80s). Which isn't a bad thing, those are my favorite bands. Also the vocals are better than that self-titled song, sounds more robust.
>>131887909First three tracks are all great. There's a small dip in quality towards the end but nothing egregious, I enjoyed this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCMc_1av1O0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aOS2Ah6nWA
>>131922211I miss stereos
>>131912968I would like to say that Tomorrow Night is metal but I don't think there's a single guitar riff in the whole songStill, the keyboards build up this amazing sense of gran tension and the vocals are catchy.
>>131924313For albums that I absolutely love (or just find for cheap out in the wild) I have a dedicated setup. Technics CD changer, a Pioneer receiver, some nice Scott speakers, an equalizer, a tape deck (though I don't use it much) and some other things. A good quality master on disc will always sound better than the lossless digital equivalent. The sound is just given more room to breathe imo.
>>131897464Votin'it also has a fine cover of Another Piece of Meat
>>131924608Yeah, that was the argument back in the day (can't believe I'm saying this) about mp3s, the sound loss. Especially if you combine it with what are essentially portable ways to listen to music i.e. headphones, small speakers and bluetooth etc. Now that I'm a poorfag I miss having my stereo.Beat Jack Black within an inch of his life. Pour water on him, let him rest for half an hour, give him some food and when he's able to talk, start again.
>>131922383Like with everything, it has to be done right. Speaking of Enforcer, have you checked the guitarist's side project, Black Trip? Their album Goin' Under is full of bangers.
>>131926240Oh MP3's, no question they're worse than a disc. But I'm talking just digital files in general. I have a pretty good set of headphones, and plenty of lossless copies of albums; and not many of them (the ones that I have in my collection, anyway) sound as good as on my stereo with an original pressing CD. Like that was the best quality I've ever heard Blackout in, it sounded fucking amazing. Could be placebo, but I swear it just sounds more lively.
>>131924616Counted it.>it also has a fine cover of Another Piece of MeatDoes it turn into a total shredfest?
>>131926337I believe you.Oh I understand, you have a more nuanced take on that. Not sure I can speak with conviction about it, but I can tell you that CDs and stereos had good quality. I don't know how vinyls sounded, grew up in the 90s.
>>131926272>have you checked the guitarist's side project, Black TripNo, I don't know it, I'll check it out! thanks
>>131926725> I don't know how vinyls sounded, grew up in the 90s.I didn't grow up in the vinyl times either, but I have listened to them on turntables in passing (when at retro shops and whatnot). IMO it sounded pretty good but heavily depended on the quality of the record being played, and most of what they played was easy listening, lounge type stuff. I think the one time that I did hear a rock album on vinyl it didn't really sound all that different from a good quality cassette.
>>131926892One needs also the places where you can blast your music, like rock bars, record stores or just a solid basement or garage with friends.
>>131926914I'd also add that you should deliberately try and make the space where you want to blast cramped. I can't explain it, but the area around my setup has so much shit that it actually amplifies the bass.
>>131887909Sonically this sounds outstanding, one of the best live albums that I've heard if we're talking pure sound. But I just don't like Gary Barden on most of these songs. I think I'd like this more if it were say, Bonnet on vocals instead.
>>131922383>>131923123Thanks for checking out High Spirits. Another band that just came to my attention that will be worth your while is Amethyst:https://youtu.be/WvkbaY7OKXchttps://youtu.be/w2DIKU0WddsAntiquity is worthy as well:https://youtu.be/0kfyVIMUAeUGloomy Reflections is an obsession of a friend of mine. It's a solid mix of Occult-influenced Hard Rock and Heavy Metal:https://youtu.be/q6JtQD0FYvwYou might also like Vultures Vengeance:https://youtu.be/1Hd3U1Eoo7khttps://youtu.be/XNGjJhbBaic
>>131927276>Another band that just came to my attention that will be worth your while is Amethyst:I actually have their first album in my library and have been putting it off for a while. I'm indecisive on what to listen to next so I'll just give it a spin. >Gloomy Reflections is an obsession of a friend of mine. It's a solid mix of Occult-influenced Hard Rock and Heavy Metal:Listened to that one a couple times, it's a really good record, probably one of my favorites of the decade so far.
>>131927290By the way, are you familiar with the '80s French scene? I posted some favs earlier ITT as have others, but, in the odd chance you're not too acquainted, here are widely celebrated bands. If you are, then disregard this post.

>>131927431>By the way, are you familiar with the '80s French scene?I've listened to Blaspheme's first two records, High Power's S/T, ADX's classic run, Sortilege's first two, and those two Killers albums from the late 80s. But I do have H-Bomb, Attentat's first couple albums and a few other bands in my library. I'm much more familiar with the 80s Japan scene and increasingly LATAM.

Anyone find it weird how long it took for bands to be influenced by Black Sabbath to emerge after they started? To me, it seems like they were peerless for the better part of a decadeBut I could just be ignorantOnly thing I can think of is Pentagram putting out a demo in '73
>>131933119>Anyone find it weird how long it took for bands to be influenced by Black Sabbath to emerge after they started? To me, it seems like they were peerless for the better part of a decadeNot peerless, there's a few albums you could call Sabbath influenced from the early 70s.Bang - Bang Buffalo - Dead Forever Buffalo - Volcanic Rock And there's isolated songs here and there like Hunter's Moon by Yesterday's Children and Melody With Balls by Warpig and the title track off Kingdom Come. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoqiORcYhmAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz-4rb5fGVkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ih16jsJHBs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHd-BRpwT0cMore - Warhead (1981)How the hell is this so overlooked? I've never heard of it before.The production is HUGE! Much better sounding than other bands of the era, with a big low end. The riffs are also cutting and attacking. They deserved to be as big as Saxon and the other more celebrated bands.

>>131887898"Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" by Metallica is frequently accused of taking the main riff from "Rainbow Warrior" by Bleak House:https://youtu.be/ZaHfBH3ACUwhttps://youtu.be/ZiIc0HuJ78QDoesn't particularly bother me as "Dreams of Eschaton" by Manilla Road, one of my favorite Metal songs is blatantly stolen riff for riff from "Angel of Death" by Angel Witch:https://youtu.be/CPAYS-jMyVchttps://youtu.be/6xC3r0BH3YUHungarian band Titkolt Ellenállás also blatantly ripped off "Death or Glory" by Holocaust. The band likely discovered it by way of Six Feet Under considering that "Kitartás!" is tuned to the cover's exact same key:https://youtu.be/xi3Fai60zpshttps://youtu.be/BC-paDe-ZUEhttps://youtu.be/-1rK-6ySSngAny other particular instances of parallel riffs you'd like to note? Could it be cryptomnesia, an homage / pastiche or perhaps cynical plaigarism?
Who is this guy? He appears on the front and back covers of The Spectre Within and Awaken the Guardian. I always thought the character looks cool and mysterious and wondered what his deal is.
>>131951691I believe she's female. She doesn't even have a name. She's just there to farm aura on the cover.
>>131887909Surprised this hasn't been suggested yet, it's classic Manilla Road performing some of their best songs. Nominating.
who more influential on heavy metal, led zep or sabbath?i actually fink dat even tho sabbath seems to embody metal more aesthetically and were heavier, led zep may have had more influence just because i feel like new wave british heavy metal resembles led zepellin more, and dat led to most other metal subgenres
>>131958936None of those influenced metal,they are diapershit.
>>131951691What the hell? Where did you find this? This is a visual representation of the Apparition song.Fuck me if Matheos isn't doing some Duran-Duran unrelated riffs that create music.

>>131957646One of the most unique metal albums I've ever heard. Absolutely love it.
>>131958936Well, Zep had two albums out already by the time Sabbath debuted. I would argue that Zeppelin had a sound that had energy and was more distanced from the 60s english blues-rock and rock scene. It was like the first band to come after Hendrix and Cream. So in one way they had an audience, but compositionally they were all over the place. They had Metallica-tier management though.Sabbath had a distinct sound. It owed to blues directly, but you could tell it was Sabbath from any song. Vocals were unrefined, which added to the blasphemous attitude (towards aesthetic standards), whereas Zeppelin would compose lighter songs, faster songs and they were uneven in general with their heaviness. They did however influence Sabbath of course, as we know Paranoid was stolen from Dazed and Confused, to also address--->>>131948950
>>131887909This is meh
God I fucking hate Motorhead so much
Everyone knows that wasn't me.
>>131962026Pretty sure they are... They have the cloak and long hair. They are for sure on the front cover, you can see the cool horned helmet laying on the ground.>>131962017It's from the back cover of the spectre within... I never thought about the connection to the apparition but I think you're right on the money.
>>131958936Depends on the era, but I'm leaning towards Zeppelin since they made invaluable contributions in the early period. Their influence does become less prominent after roughly 1980, and is more centered around rock-leaning stuff like glam, though.

New Saxon, solid as everhttps://youtu.be/alyzaHBHdpU
>>131974214Wow, this sounds like USPM, much more aggressive riffing than I'm used to from Saxon. I'm digging it.
>>131974214Saxon? More like Sucksdong.
>>131975090Boooo!
You guys know that ain't me, right?
>>131887909Instrumentally this album's very solid, there's lots of great riffing and some cool drum parts. But there's three knocks against this record: a subpar vocalist who audibly strains to get higher notes, a quite frankly bad production job where the guitars and vocals constantly battle each other for dominance, and inconsistent songwriting. Granted, the songwriting isn't usually that poor, and more often than not it's the first two problems that bump a couple of these songs down, but it's still an issue regardless. And I'll just say again: I don't like this vocalist. He's fine in the low-mid range, but when he tries to go high (which he does a lot) it sounds very grating. His performance actively sabotages pretty much every song on this record.However, I still consider this a decent album in spite of its flaws. The instrumentation really is worth listening to. And to be fair, there are a FEW songs that manage to not suffer as much as the rest. Though those problems are still present, and these would be considerably better songs if they weren't.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EmL8Gi7qhkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p0Ov1KwvCEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yk9twMlbwdk

>>131974214Millennials are so shit at metal that they need septegenarians to keep the flame burning and show them how it's done.
>>131976100I like their sophomore album Stretch of the Imagination a bit more, but yes, they're criminally overlooked.
>>131962217It has maybe one or two decent tracks (namely "Demon Speed" and "Acid Flesh"), but far from replayable. There's a reason everyone talks up La Sexorcisto and nobody but dedicated Rob Zombie fans and record collectors mention that album. Kurt Cobain was a fan of their Noise Rock/Garage Punk albums, though. I can see why. They definitely have more character than Make Them Die Slowly.
>>131968864ummm no like literaly search it up yourselfits communication breakdown
>>131977828I remember it from an interview from years past. The classic pentatonic shuffle riff is a direct ripoff from Dazed and Confused, if you have ears you know what I'm talking about and I am not going to continue this conversation anymore.

>>131985996Not even one of your haters, but this fucking garbage does not belong here. Like not at all. Post this shit on /metal/ if you want, but here is not the place for it.
i fucking hate dragonforce and gypsies so much
>>131986009have you given an official statement regarding Alissa White-Gluz as the new vocalist of DragonFarts
>>131985996Dude, what the fuck?
>>131986922Don't trigger him...when riled up, he will go on rants about how gypsies are aryan and post used tampons and depends. Dude is whacko.A few years ago he went crazy and got permabanned for threatening to kill people.
>>131987099Yes, his reputation precedes him. I'm more than aware of this individual. Still, why would Herman upload that? It's not funny.
>>131986596As strange as it is to say it, DragonForce is traditional metal.
>>131987099>shit that never happenedThis is you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rthGmWfnV3o
>>131986878Never mind that, Marc Hudson stepped down. I wasn't the biggest fan of the sound of his voice but he had, as zoomers put it, "aura".
He just can't help himself.
>>131987293Looks like a collossal faggot, rarely have I seen a bigger clown.
Why are there two metal threads?I take it this one is for stuff that isn't incomprehensible death metal noise with literally zero musicality then?
>>131987427It's for people who prefer Heavy Metal, Doom Metal, Speed Metal, Power Metal, Neoclassical Metal, Progressive Metal, Stoner Metal and some Thrash Metal. Anything more extreme than Slayer is forbidden. Same story with harsh vocals. For some reason, /trad/ has an issue with Gothic Metal. God knows why, but I suppose it's because some bands are more Extreme Metal influenced than others.
>>131987473OhI guess I like metal that's too gay for the other thread and too brutal for this one then
>>131987499Tell us some bands you like. We're not sharks. We're eager to share.
>>131987521I mean I like all those you mentioned too and I'm fine with actual singing too, but lately I've been listening to this band, bit of a nostalgia triphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKXtq8vC4ZUAlso this is one of my favorite metal songs ever probably, but maybe a bit too screamy and blast beat-y for this thread even if it's so melodichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpoLe2v6MVo
>>131987639Wintersun is iffy, but Metalcore is flatly rejected here. Wintersun's riffs are too influenced by Death Metal, despite being very melodic, for this general.
>>131987473Complete bullshit, half of the genres you mentioned are absolutely not welcome here
>131987679/meal/ tourist
>>131962232Is diaperposting allowed here? I thought that's what bullied you guys out of /metal/
We love diaperposting here and unironically call ourselves diapershitterchads.
>>131987671I don't like calling Chimaira metalcore even if they clearly have their roots in hardcore, I associate that word with a very specific sound like bullet for my valentine or early avenged sevenfold, atreyu and the like, and Chimaira sound nothing like that to me. And I know their members had a lot of thrash and death metal influenceBut anyway my point is that if I posted these songs in the other thread they'd probably laugh at me
>>131987473>Anything more extreme than Slayer is forbidden. Same story with harsh vocalsprog can get orders of magnitude more extreme than slayer and harsh vocals exist in all those genres you saidgenres are not immutable monoliths
>>131987780That's true, but Prog Metal has a greater track record ITT than Metalcore, Melodeath, Sludge and Gothic Metal do. The approval of Voivod, Queensrÿche, Dream Theater, Symphony X, Crimson Glory or Fates Warning altogether speak to this general's mostly tolerant or accepting attitudes towards the genre.
What do we think about Nevermore
>>131987858First album was great, no opinion on the rest as I've not listened to anything else.
Scratch that, it was actually their second album I checked out. Always misremember this as their first for some reason, probably the logo.
>>131987423Try a mirror
>>131987858Excellent band, absolutely visionary, Dead Heart in a Dead World still sounds modern even though it was from 26 years ago. RIP Warrel Dane. Not really that "trad" (more progressive or alt, even tinges of "grunge"), but thoroughly good. And of course Jeff Loomis is a beast on guitar that can play Perpetual Burn.
>>131987841Why wouldn't Symphony X, Fates Warning, Dream Theater etc. be approved? This is the thread for metal that doesn't sound like shit (no screaming, no dissoshit).
>>131988019Nevermore's playing my city next year, I wish I could have seen them before Warrel died, hell of a voice
>>131988033You have no say in the direction of this generalWe hate you
>>131988069Seethe then, cupcake.
>>131988033That was a comment more on Progressive Metal being heterogenous than it was about the acceptability of those bands. Those bands mentioned are all obviously acceptable for this general than Opeth, Death, Mastodon, Gojira, Atheist, maudlin of the Well, Ved Buens Ende or Sigh.
>>131988129Gotta shit your gypsy pampers?
Negru is kinda cringe desu
ZP Theart will always be the true voice of Dragonforce

>>131988488I have to agree, his voice just sounded fuller. But Marc's voice was also suitable for the 2010s albums on which they changed their style.

Shit myself while jerking off to vintage The Osbourne episodes. Prime Kelly was pretty much the perfect woman. Any of my fellow older metalheads have the same thing happen? Our bowels are not what they used to be reckon.
The fact that metal is seen as edgy cringe teenage shit while gay rap shit is seen as cool is one of the worst things ever.

>>131997019People have fatigue and USAID money is gone. Rap isn't cool anymore. People are listening to country and older rock again.
>>132007656>Rap isn't cool anymore. People are listening to country and older rock again.>>132007606 here, You say that because you're getting older and not around young people. In college, they're all still partying and listening to rap. But it starts to feel pretty ridiculous getting into your late 20s/30s with professional jobs and possibly kids putting on NBA Youngboy at your Halloween party. Which is why the default adult normalfag music is country and older rock like you said. Maybe some older rap out of nostalgia

>>131997019Metal is seen as edgy cringe teenage shit, but one of the best albums of the year is by a 78 year old man.
In my recurring dreams Jack Black opens the Lament Configuration and the Cenobites simply torture him in eternity, starting by cutting his tongue in pieces and making him forcefully swallow the pieces. Then, tongueless, they hang him by stretched limbs, stretched to the point where his balls start cramping and a friendly slap in the back would dislocate his shoulders, and then proceed to whip him on his naked bacon back, forcing him to say, in tongueless, bloody-mouth agony, "I love Stevie Nicks!" inbetween whips. And as he, weeping and then sobbing harder and harder, cries out "I WOV KEEVIE NIKP" spitting droplets of blood mixed with saliva, the Cenobites are having hearty laughs.
