Controversial opinion: Havok and Superchrist are the only real "retro" metal bands worth listening to.

There are plenty of good, new Doom bands that have a "retro" sound.

Define retro, for I am confused.

Define retro, for I am confused.

I'm assuming it means music that sounds like it comes from the 70s, 80s, or early 90s.

 

[The Butt]

"Retro metal" to me is: Modern metal that tries to sound like its from the 80s.

 

[Lateralus14]

Oh ok. I think that's what it technically means, which would thus include New Wave Of Old School Death Metal kinda stuff and the like, but I think we tend to see retro and think of dad rock or shitty party thrash.

 

[The Butt]

I can't really stand it. In terms of modern death metal, I only really dig Dead Congregation, Mitochondrion, Portal, and for occasional listening even though its pretty generic, Behemoth.

 

[Lateralus14]

Dead Congregation is retro in a sense though, I suppose. And yeah, they are the clear winner.

 

[The Butt]

Party thrash is the worst though.

Industrial is just club music for people who hate club music.

I dig industrial in da club. But that's kinda how I look at it.

 

[Krow]

Superchrist is boring motorhead worship and every song sounds the same. I went from liking them to thinking they're easily prof black's worst band. His vocals suck, too, and I have to be in the mood for them.

UM website got fucked up for a second there I think. My shit froze up, probably what happened to him idk. I've always admired Krow's ability to express hatred/dislike for band or style of music. I usually enjoy his posts even if they're about a band I like. Krow please mock Amaranthe if you would be so kind.




Europop metal.

Superchrist is awesome. The fact that they're Motorhead worship is meaningless when their albums are roughly as good as the original thing.

Industrial is not club music

So important you had to mention it thrice, eh?

Roughly, as in having one extra or one less chromosome is roughly the same as the correct amount.

Oh and Speedwolf > Superchrist by far.

 

[The Butt]

No.

 

[Krow]

I see why Lat talks to you the way he does.
