Metal

I listen to a lot of thrashcore, grindcore and d-beat stuff.
While those genres are not exactly metal, they're certainly close relatives...

Are you crusty?

I used to listen to a lot of metal, but lately I've expanded my music to a lot of stuff. I actually don't like much of the "classic metal" like Maiden, Sabbath, etc, nor do I like some of the newer metal bands that all sound the same or are re-hashing stuff that's been done decades ago.

But my favorite metal bands are:

Ayreon
Star One
Iced Earth
Dream Theater
Sepultura
Morbid Angel
Fear Factory
Strapping Young Lad
Meshuggah
Napalm Death
Emperor
Amon Amarth
Gojira
Bloodbath
Death
Therion

Well, I do smell bad, I am lazy, and I have radical socio-political views... so, I guess I am.

IMO As far as American metal is concerned Lamb Of God Fukkin Rocks!

whatsisname6 · 02-25-2009, 05:52 PM

Yeah Metallica is pretty lame. None of their stuff really struck me as awesome, but the local radio station here has "Mandatory Metallica Mondays" and it's so ####### annoying.

Dude, old Metallica is the Shiz! I maintain that Master Of Puppets is one the best metal recordings ever.

Yeah maybe their oldest stuff...
But otherwise, no.

Metallica's first three albums are definitely some of the best albums ever. all hail the mystik master kliff burton

agreed, at least with the metallica part.

metalmetalmetalmetal. I have broadened my horizons in the last 10 years, but my core is undoubtedly metal. And my heart is certainly black.

I can't forgive Metallica for St. Anger, and I don't know if I ever will.
I used to be a huge LOG fan, but the newest album felt to me it was lacking.
As for roots of metal, I do appreciate those bands mentioned but haven't ever been an avid listener. Unless Motorhead counts?

(All previously mentioned, +)
DevilDriver
White Zombie
Nailbomb (Max C, fuk yeah.)
Artimus Pyledriver
Cryptopsy (had to mention again)
Mayhem (that counts as roots, right)
Brujeria

I will add more when I think of.
Artimus P. is wicked for skating, btw.

Edit: And Slayer, did anyone say Slayer?

I don't see how AP and Devildriver are bands at the "roots" of metal. Their first albums were in the 2000s.

Nailbomb had like... one EP and one album. Brujeria are just standard DM.

Horse The (F***king) Band!!!! Nintendocore's roots!!!!

I never said they were bands at the roots. I was referring to Motorhead as a potential, and Mayhem. That was it. The others I was just mentioning because I like.

METALSHARK · 02-26-2009, 04:58 PM

I've been listening to a lot of Enslaved lately. I think they are actually my favorite Norse/Black metal band. Monumetion has'nt left my CD player.

Eugene Pooneil · 02-26-2009, 05:04 PM

Scenester metal FTL.

I enjoy some doom, Candlemass, Boris, a little SUNN 0))), and I enjoy some My Dying Bride... But not too into doom.
