10 things I hate about "modern metal"

vgmaster9 said:
Well most people refer the movement as modern metal, contrast to traditional metal bands like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Motorhead, and Iron Maiden.

This thread should be titles "10 things I hate about death metal/goregrind/pornogrind/such'n'such.

But even then only half of that shit would apply. Porno/goregrind is underproduced these days, most modern death metal is way overproduced. Neither of them use many shrieks, some modern DM might use bree brees but with porno/goregrind it's almost always pitch-shifted. Neither of them have anything to do with hardcore dancing, porno/goregrind often has a drum machine that's kind of in the back of the mix as opposed to DM where it's way up front (looking at you, Hour of Penance).

This list is just a random babbling of nonsense.
 
^Satin does indeed rule, it is a wonder of a fabric. It feels so soft pressed against my buttocks.
 
Hating modern metal is starting to sound like some trend. Really, the reasons didnt make any sense. Like someone said earlier, i feel modern metal is more likely overproducted than other way around. Double bass is like metronomy tight nowadays.
There are good modern metal bands this thread is just silly.
 
I think the best moderm metal albums are ones that are not really all that metal. Musically and production wise fits the type of music. Extreme Metal albums that sound like they are modern pop albums is not my thing.

How have you managed to rack up over 17,000 posts here and not evolved beyond "retarded"?

"Under" and "over" are REALLY subjective terms. Take, like, goregrind or something along those lines. They sound best when they're more organic and a little muddy, when things aren't "perfect".

Old-style brutal death is NOTORIOUS for that. Bands like Brodequin or Artery Eruption sound like they were recorded while playing in another room and a lot of those bands have a drummer that apparently never learned how to tune a snare drum. But that's THAT sound. It's not underproduced, it's appropriate.

On the flip side, you'd never want a prog or power metal album that isn't crystal clear and refined, because the sound really needs to be bell clear. Even old King Crimson albums had that nailed.
