>>>>One of your favorite bands nightwish are power metal.


Yeah, but they break the mold. They don't do the speedy riffing like Stratovarious or something...they are more than happy to change up the tempo.

Plus Tarja's vocals are divine. She started Opera metal...if you have a taste for the metal opera combo, no other band is better.

Stratovarius are power metal? I'm dumb. Are Dragonforce power metal?

Haha...

I don't dislike it, it's just that the majority is shit!

OK then I like power metal. Good stuff, especially the guitars. Gets old fast tho.

Very old, very fast...

Funny, some people consider Iced Earth and Blind Guardian to be power metal, but then I go and look for other power bands and they have some pussy ass feel to them... Latter Helloween for one... Pisses me off.

Helstar's Nosferatu was the first power metal album I ever appreciated, and I still like it plenty, some of the haters might want to check that one out.

@ Carcassian-Do you listen to any sludge bands?

@ killbot-what are some good cybergrind bands? The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are twodeadsluts onegoodfuck and agoraphobis nosebleed

 

[Consuming Impulse]

thrash and groove is my favorite.

 

[Impudent]

thrash and groove is my favorite.

That's, like, contradictory. I've always seen groove as the anti-thrash.

 

[Zephyrus]

what do you expect to hear from a retarded person?

 

[cookiecutter]

Yeah, I've always thought of thrash relying on speed, unlike groove which relies on rythm

Holy shit yes.

AND THEN YOU'LL BE ... BAPTIZED IN BLOOD!

I don't know, but didn't the thrash band Overkill tread in "groove" territory in their later years? I've not heard any of the later albums, except Relixiv, that's just what I've been told...

Yeah, anyway, who's up for creating the "Nosferatu" thread? Funny, cos I was listening to this on my iPod at work today, went through the thing twice, what a great album.

 

[Impudent]

That's just my point. When great thrash bands start losing quality, they become "groovy". Exodus did the same thing.

Yeah, but Im choosy about Sludge, as there's a whole stack of fucking losers who think ultimo-distortion= Teh WinnAr.

Crowbar, Eyehategod, Iron Monkey, Soilent Green, Acid Bath are the principle sludge bands I actually LIKE.

 

[witchhunterni]

I think I like doom metal, most variations on death metal. Death/doom is nice.















I also like power metal.
