It's quite telling that I have no problem professing my love for Kylie Minogue, Cobie Callait, the Veronicas and other completely, ridiculously non-metal music artists. However, if I even had a smattering of pleasure while listening to Babymetal (hint: I don't) I don't think I'd even have...

Exactly, their black metal "era" is simply non-existent for me, as I'm not a fan of that sound at all. So I'm all about the last two albums.

Padre's Wood was pretty cool! I always liked that southern twang with a heavier background. I said WoY sounded like Type O....maybe I should clarify that. WoY's sound absolutely REMINDS me of Type O (especially the vocals), and it does bring to mind what an alternate universe Type O may have...

Sorry, nope. Just tried them out and it's 100% not my cup of tea. Black metal was never my thing. "Wooden Pints" by Korpiklaani is great though! If we're still talkig about wood, I mean...

I need to take a moment and just gush on here over how fucking incredible Woods of Ypres were. I only own their fourth and fifth (final) albums, but they are absolute masterpieces. I definitely consider them to be the spiritual successors to Type O, because they sure as hell have the Type O...

I've tried, I just cannot get into "true" black metal. It's an entire genre I've just largely written off, with one or two exceptions. Old Behemoth and old Dimmu (if they ever were "true" black metal to begin with) are about the extent of it. I can tolerate some symphonic black metal, but again...

Without reading too many of the replies, I always described it this way. Thrash metal is based on aggression, blistering solos, speed (or uptempo, yet not exactly carpet-of-double-bass speed) and extremely riff heavy. Speed metal is fast, has a few main riffs, and is generally fairly...

I hear you on that one. The opening gag track makes you think with a smile, "Haha, good ol' Type O!" and then as soon as those organ notes begin, your face becomes solemn and then you just spiral further into depression as the album soldiers on. Pyretta Blaze is the exception. I think its...

I'm only 90 minutes from Philly. I am SO curious as to what is going down that is Ghost-related in Philadelphia on September 26. They sure know how to tease!

Hey guys, brand new to the forums. Hope to have some great discussions with you all! I wanted to get a thread going, and hear your picks, regarding opening songs on albums that alone are worth the $15 or whatever you paid for it. Even if the whole album was just that one song, it's worth the...
