I find it impossible to believe you don't like metal; you just haven't heard the good stuff.

..Speaking of cryptopsy, wow that new album is HORRIBLE.

let's see.. i've heard slayer, sabbath, wolves in the throne room, burzum, melvins, pig destroyer, and tons of other supposedly awesome metal bands.. simply don't find the enjoyment in listening to this music anymore.

No Necrophagist? For shame!

i'm pretty sure i've heard one of their albums back in the day too.

see i can find some of these stuff kinda interesting, but i obviously don't love them with all my heart nor they really excite me.

If you want real "hipster" (ugh) points, you need to claim that you like Discharge before they went metal - hang on, I don't like metal-era Discharge etiher - shit!

A good friend of mine mentioned very recently that Emperor are pretty much the daddies of troo black metal, and I can't disagree with him, really. I can't imagine many indie kids getting in them, to be honest...or am I wrong?

When's "back in the day"? No one really knew them until 2005 or 2006 or so, aside from the true death metal elite. They're like classical music meets death metal. Some of the best shit ever. It takes them years to write ONE song. Even people that don't get into black metal like this band because they're fucking amazing. Just trust me on this one.

yeah, necrophagist are pretty insane.
to my mind if someone says they don't like sabbath it's the same thing as saying they don't like music.

This coming from someone who likes fisting boys from Eton more than they do music.

I can't imagine it either. Much too symphonic for the indie kids. From what I've seen, indie kids avoid metal like the plague, unless it's lo-fi/ambient BM or drone.

cryptopsy has been bad for a long time, too many vocalists now. last good one was "...and then youll beg", with that awesome cover art with the dude tied to the train tracks. that was a sick record.

1,000 percent agreed

I can't really think of many "metal" bands.
Maybe Dillinger Escape Plan, but stuff like Converge is more hardcore than metal. Dream Theater maybe. And anything on guitar hero or rock band like Testament.

i love burzum and darkthrone lately (and always)

converge have a new album out. HOLOCAUSTO!

Death SS

Endless Dismal Moan

Also, an album by a Colombian band called Reencarnacion, titled ''888 Metal''. Weird enough to appeal to fans of SY and psych rock in general.

Lately I've been listening to Megadeth, Burzum, Mayhem, Darkthrone, Bathory, Holy Moses, Sarcofago, Sigh, Cathedral, and Mercyful Fate.

You know, I'm not even going to check out the new Converge. Not because I'm ignorant or lazy, it's just that I know I won't enjoy it. Metalcore doesn't really appeal to me anymore.

I saw this in a shop yesterday; I was almost tempted to buy it.

Meanwhile, this

Same here, Derek. Fucking love Jane Doe, love a lot of Converse stuff but I'm just over it at this point in my life.

I meant Converge, not Converse. Leaving the spelling error though.

all metal bands are too cool to listen to me.

"This book is not ironic."

LOL

Yeah, a lot of their stuff rules though I don't think I'll ever listen to most of it ever again.

i generally wait till the record finishes to play, then make up my mind. You know, the old fashioned way.

huh

I've tried with Converge too many times. I've not seen them live which, from what I gather, is a bit of a clincher. On record though i've yet to really hear anything that's made me want to continue with them.

THE SADDEST DAY rules.

Thanks to Adult Swim, there is Dethklok and Mastadon...

I hate Mastadon so much.

Helmet.

for some reason The Scorpions have always rocked my boat.

you could say that they have rocked you like a hurricane.

Pow!




*hi5*

Converge > All.

I've noticed a lot of the indies digging Harvey Milk in the past year or so.

pardon me, but what the fuck is an indie kid? indie kid = hipster???

just like what you like and don't worry about whether it's cool or not.
