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.

lechaoscestmoi 02.05.2009 06:54 AM

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!

lechaoscestmoi 02.05.2009 07:12 AM

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.

Satan 10.18.2009 03:04 AM

i love burzum and darkthrone lately (and always)

Genteel Death 10.18.2009 03:28 AM

converge have a new album out. HOLOCAUSTO!

Genteel Death 10.18.2009 03:29 AM

Death SS

Genteel Death 10.18.2009 04:04 AM

Endless Dismal Moan

Genteel Death 10.18.2009 04:45 AM

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.

Death & the Maiden 10.18.2009 05:04 AM

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