Desperate to find metal that's not Death metal or metal about death...

[Birkenau]

Unless you have a problem with wolves (I hear they are carnivores), listen to Ulver.

Yeah, Ulver is good. They don't play metal anymore, but still very interesting to listen to.

eh, listen to music for the music. llyrics are 2nd to music

I'm with this guy.

Try Atheist's Elements. Not their best release, but there are fresh ideas on that album and the concept behind the lyrics is quite interesting.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Yeah, why listen to metal if you don't want to blast Necrophagist and shout out "Mutilate the Stillborn?" Bands that are gory often hardly take themselves seriously at all. You shouldn't either. There are lots of good recommendations here anyway, necro or not.

I could put down everything i listen to except for four bands, but ill give you a good one that ive been listening to lately.

Queensryche

[AsModEe]

Spiral Architect isn't thatttttt good in my most humble opinion... they just throw riffs after riffs without any structure.

fuck, this thread is gay.

Hence, it has reached a second page. Would all the people who want to answer this seriously please hurry the fuck up so this can fall away into the abyss and my balls can stop hurting?

 

[AsModEe]

well, you just contributed to the opposite of your wish.

[no country for old wainds]

It was already the top thread (and it is for this post, too ).

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Spiral Architect!

Since when is the subject of death not relevant artistically? Oh yeah, I forgot, christians don't die!

eh, listen to music for the music. llyrics are 2nd to music

Ah, but good music is an aesthetic representation of said lryics, if we're not talking about an instrumental. But even without lryics, music represents the ideas, additudes, and beliefs of the artist(s) creating them. Thus good music has these wonderful notes that are an outward extension of said ideas. Why is this simple fact denied by thousands, or perhaps more? Is all music blind, random creation? Some of it is, sure; but to deny the very basis of the creative process is completely moronic. I take issue with the statement, "llyrics are 2nd to the music" because it's "insides, guts" while the music itself is the exterior. Examine them as a whole and you're getting what's intended out of music. Otherwise, you're just putting your brain on pause.

that was so unnecessary
