Comfort Metal

[cookiecutter]

No I haven't created another genre. I'm talking about metal that you listen to when you need some comfort or support. Metal that makes you feel good. My current "comfort metal" albums are

Naglfar - Pariah
Devourment - Butcher the Weak
Cenotaph - Pseudo Verminal Cadaverium

What are yours?

 

[Zephyrus]

Um......I feel good listening to any metal. That's why I listen to it in the first place.

 

[Mort Divine]

Empyrium - A Wintersunset...
Empyrium - Songs Of Moors & Misty Fields
Agalloch - The Mantle
Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain
Falkenbach - ...Magni Blandinn Ok Megintiri...
etc.

Obviously, but surely some songs/albums make you feel better after a bad day or pick you up if you are stressed or nervous.

@Zeph

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

anything by opeth

 

[Matt]

Dimmu Borgir
Bal-Sagoth
Agalloch

@Zeph

Well if you mean it that way then the following songs do the trick...

The Kovenant - Mirror's Paradise
Vader - Death in Silence
Emperor - Curse You All Men!
Hypocrisy - Warpath

These songs are reserved for when I'm pissed off to the max. All it takes is one play through one of them and I'm happy as a clam.

 

[~Neurotica]

Legion Of The Damned - Malevolent Rapture
Amon Amarth - With Oden On Our Side
Perimeter - The Healing By Festering
Ikuinen Kaamos - The Forlorn

 

[Susperia]

Reverend Bizarre and almost any Trad/Doom band. Ogre, Great Coven, Burning Saviours, Soltide Aeturnus...etc

 

[Pessimism]

Doom is usually fucking excellent for me; these last days though Brutal Death has been doing good...

But yeah, now it's Forseti and Enya

 

[ohiogrinder]

any grind usually does the trick

Agathocles - Razor Sharp Daggers
Excruciating Terror - Divided We Fall
Brutal Truth - Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses

 

[Kreator/Destroyer]

Green Carnation - The Acoustic Verses
Opeth - Damnation, Ghost Reveries
Soilwork - anything
Kreator - Enemy of God
Metallica - Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets
Wintersun - Wintersun
Into Eternity - Buried in Oblivion
Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2
Pyramaze - Legend of the Bone Carver
Dismember - anything
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell, Vulgar Display of Power
Dragonforce - Inhuman Rampage (the video game sounds and optimistic lyrics put me in a good mood and the fact that the singer could sing the pokemon theme song exactly if he wanted to)

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Extreme - Extreme

 

[Nico]

Incantation - Onward to Golgotha
Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal/The IVth Crusade
Destroyer 666 - Pheonix Rising/Terror Abraxas
Metallica - Kill 'em All

 

[Matt]

Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2

I second that.

 

[DarkBliss]

Lykathea Aflame-Elvenefris
Arcturus-La Masquerade Infernale
Tenhi-Vare
Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio-Make Love and War: The Wedlock of Roses& Equilibrium

The last two aren't metal

 

[Zephyrus]

Arcturus-La Masquerade Infernale

Soundtrack to your insanity.

 

[DarkBliss]

And I forgot: Ulver-Bregtatt
Varathron-His Majesty at the Swamp
basically there are loads more I could list that I think would fit but I'll stop here

 

[-deathboy-]

something about Broken Hope's "the bowels of repugnance" always cheers me up and makes everything seem like it's gonna be ok...

 

[DarkBliss]

Ah, you crazy grinder folk
