BLACK METAL ARHHHHGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[Metropolis Part 2]

@arglebagle- where? How? Why? When? WHat??????? Hoowwww? Its almost impossible to like all types of metal.... Unless you are one hell of an open-minded person.

Radio in Australia is crap. Its not like the USA where you can tune into purely/metal channels. We have one national show that plays once a week for 3 hours really late at night that plays everything from Motley Crue to Nile and everything inbetween...but its probably 70% or more death/black/extreme metal.
I usually listen to it to hear some new stuff, news, interviews etc. Sure beats the alternative.

You guys sure are better off. There are ZERO, I repeat, ZERO metal stations in the Philippines, which pretty much prompts me to grab an mp3/cd player or listen to streaming audio. It bites, bar none.

I have never met someone who likes ALL types of metal. Generally, someone either likes black/death/grind or prog/power/doom with thrash someplace in between and either side hates the other.

sometimes I drift over to some nu-metal.


(oh no he didn't!)

 

[Beelzebub]

You have just lost your speaking privileges.

 

[Kenneth R.]

not all nu metal sucks. not all prog is good. there's good and bad in every genre.

 

[Strychnos]

^^ case in point: Mudvayne. Ya gotta listen hard, but you'll hear influences of King Crimson there.

Um, there are a lot of people who like all types of MUSIC, much less all types of metal.

I realize that most people on this board lean towards prog and power, but I frequent other metal boards where many people like everything from prog to death to goth to power.

I can't understand why anyone would want to exclusively listen to a certain genre or two... after a while it starts to get boring. I love prog and power metal, but every once in a while I have to say "Enough", and listen to techno or folk or indie pop or whatever. :Spin:

 

[Metropolis Part 2]

I listen to alot of stuff, it depends on my emotions. I like other non-Prog and Power Metal bands, I also like Coldplay, Evanescence, Neil Young and a lot of Jazzzzzzzzz to give me that certain pizzazz

 

[Tmansdc]

Not a big fan. The only bands that are even close to that genre that I like are Bodom and Dimmu.

How is bodom close to black metal? They're power/speed with harsh vocals.

 

[Metropolis Part 2]

How the hell are DImmu Borgir Black Metal?

THEY ARE SOOOOOOO NOT TR00000000

????????What?????????

 

[Rose Immortal]

I'm mainly into prog and power metal. Though I also like some death/doom stuff, and...err...the occasional...um...metalcore...

(slinks away in embarrassment)

 

[Kenneth R.]

feel no shame for music you genuinely appreciate.

there is no shame in liking music. there is no shame in liking any form of art. just because others shun it, all the more reason to stand against them steadfast in your appreciation of it. be true.

thats what metal stands for.

 

[Rose Immortal]

Oh my God, it's the metal version of Stuart Smalley...



Anyway...I think you're right. I guess I assumed admitting to liking Killswitch Engage would be a mark of shame around here...

 

[Kenneth R.]

I like Third Eye Blind. and Vertical Horizon. among many hundreds of other bands.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

I like almost anything that can be classified as music.

 

[Beelzebub]

We had a thread not too long ago in which we listed non-metal bands we like, and I proudly proclaimed that I enjoy the musical stylings of Air Supply, ABBA, The Bee Gees, and Barry Manilow. Who cares? Listen to what you want.

 

[Kenneth R.]

right on.

 

[Strychnos]

that's pretty much the end of this thread. ehek.

 

[dargormudshark]

Wow, this is how all these threads should end. I havn't even looked at the Michael Romeo vs. Petrucci thread and I won't because I know it is total chaos. What a great conclusion to come to in this thread well in the meant ime here are some CRADLE OF FILTH lyrics:

Hear Me now!
All crimes should be treasured if they bring thee pleasure somehow...

Maleficent in dusky rose
Gathered satin lapped Her breasts
Like blood upon the snow
A tourniquet of Topaz
Glistened at Her throat
Awakening, pulled from the tomb
Her spirit freed eclipsed the moon
That She outshone as a fallen star
A regal ornament from a far flung nebular

Her likeness hung in the black gallery
Commanding unease
Demanding of Death to breathe...

Midst the whirl and daylight fauna
Of society at court
Elizabeth bedazzled, Her presence sought applause
Though Her torchlit shadow
Thrown upon damp cellar walls
Greeted nothing but despair from slaves Her nights enthralled

Thirteen Winter solstices had shown
Her path, that the dark
Had marked its dominion
Spaying the confessor
Whose caresses she'd known,
As whipcord in the House of Dog
Her cold cunt meat on holy bone

Raped of faith, She now embraced
The narcissistic unrest frozen on the mirror's face
With this disdain, inside these veins
(Highborn wanton that She was)
She sought to keep what age would claim
Her soul was sold and for this toll
Reeking pyres ever smouldered
On the whims of one so in control
Elizabeth, mysterious.
Cruelty brought thee orchids
From the bowels of the abyss

Once upon atrocity when midwitches stifled cries
And carved abortive runes in reddened wombs
Exhumed by scrying eyes
Madness came upon
Her like an amourous lover's seed
Lifesblood splashed upon Her skin
In gouts torture unleashed

And to Her dead reflection
Twas as if Her pallor gleamed
Like an angel's warmed by candles
Where erotic stains had cleaved
So demons dragged this libertine
Lusts screaming for release
Upon the flesh of maidens preened
As canvas for caprice

Exacting obeisance
Her gaze held a seance
Of spirits too trapped under glass to commune
A sleeter mistress than Luna
Whose threats to consume Her
Met with torments giving vent to Her swoon

Flat on Her back
Pack-prey for the reams
Of verses and curses
That haunted Her dreams
Midnightmare chimed
Thirteen in Her mind
A disciple of scars
Branded years hissed behind
Ridden split-thighed
By the Father of lies
An ovation of wolves
Blushed the skies as they writhed

But Heaven is never forever
She came, a spent storm
From the clouds...

Leaving serpents in office
Inside every gate
To lick righteous holes
Blinding Lords to the fate
Of virgins forced naked
To defile on rent knees
Hacked and racked backwards
Menses choking their pleas

"More. Whore. More.
Twitching make me wet with thee
Carcass rub me raw"
