Controversial opinions on metal

[TechnicalBarbarity]

ABBA were my moms favorite group.

Best song ever.

 

[MrTagoMago]

Abba really did have a fantastic sense of melody and have made some of the catchiest songs in pop music period. Kate Bush is also excellent imo. Hell I'll come out and say I enjoy some Cyndi Lauper and Bannanaramma from time to time lol.

I do find it funny though how many of the metal heads I've spoken to are especially intolerant of more extreme stuff like harsh noise and power electronics.

It's because we know first hand that extremity can be done well. Harsh noise, at least, is pretty much what people who don't listen to Extreme Metal think Extreme Metal is.

Plenty of harsh noise does it well. I find this track very relaxing.

The Ramleh - Hole in the heart, I havent heard of those people and that is a really interesting recording. I am out of the loop and wouldnt know the categories they have these days to put that in. Bands are brave and genuine musicians i.m.o. when they put this sort of music out as it isnt neccessarily going to bring themselves huge success, because of the potential listeners available for it. It is in a sense going back to when bands like `Yes` started experimenting in the early 70`s. Pioneers. I admire always the pioneers. It reminds me of Hawkwind here and there in that song.

Yeah that's not too bad I guess, something about it kind of reminds me of Neurosis's The Eye of Every Storm. Still, seems more like a certain moods kind of listen than something I could see myself listening to on a regular basis. Just not enough happening.

Pretty sure there aren't any scales in there, dude.

Band is called Ramleh, Hole in the heart is just the name of the album. They fall into the power electronics, harsh noise, and industrial category. They started in the early 80s and this recording is from 1987 but come the 90s they did go into a more commercial psychedelic rock phase which I enjoy as well.

Well yeah most harsh noise to me is mood music. Despite technically being extreme it's usually more something you lay down and listen to for the atmosphere and textures. Harsh noise is surprisingly enough often focused heavily on subtlety. At least that's the way I see it I mean thinking about it I imagine these concerts would be hell to go to.

Yeah, this track is much better actually. Where do you get their music from?

 

[rusty water]

I have been having to go back in the past into classical music and orchestras to get escapism and a higher fix of Art and meaning these days. I was picking out a Cello player in a concert I watched this weekend as being a sound that drew me in a lot. I crave meaning. Literature is another subject I am forced to pursue to lift myself up and I find I belong there, with Poets from the past and Composers. Love Art these days too. I have bands like Rush to thank for these options, they lead me there. Of course it is a wonderful contrast sometimes to blast some good rock music out too.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

less radiohead and more Motorhead please.

 

[rusty water]

I like Motorhead. I met Lemmy, clarke and philthy backstage after a gig once and Lemmy was a superb bloke, what a great down to earth guy. I play a bit of the classic motorhead now and again.

 

[rusty water]

double post. sorry.

I use Soulseek. It's great if your into obscure stuff

 

[Internally Deformed]

Can you dl whole albums, or is it just a track by track thing? It's annoying me how much of the stuff that gets recced on this forum is impossible to find, so I'll need to check it out.

 

[MrTagoMago]

I always found this guy really underrated.

You can do do whole albums I mean it's a file sharing program so you type in what you want and it'll bring it up if somebody has it. Might have to try typing in different things and sometimes you have to wait for a connection with a user who has what your looking for but generally even really obscure demos will pop up from several users. It's really the best place to get obscure music to my knowledge though a friend told me about something called Russian trackers that's better for discographies but I know nothing about it.

Downloading music that you don't legally own is for entitled poseurs. Nothing will ever change my opinion about that.
