Help this noob discover real metal?

[Gold]

^^^ that's a bunch of nonsense

start out with thrash/heavy metal then move on to whichever extreme genre you like

thats how i came into the genre and now i listen to just about anything

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

Racer X, best trash band ever.

and don't even get near metallica. They gave me nausea.

?????????????????????????????

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

I love Racer X but they arent thrash or trash as you said.

 

[Kreator/Destroyer]

start listening to the new american wave of heavy metal bands
(lamb of god, killswitch engage, shadows fall,ect)
then move over to more melodic death
(children of bodom, opeth, arch enemy)
then listen to the devil wears prada
then the southwestern death scene
(job for a cowboy, abigail williams, suicide silence, all shall perish)
then youre golden

listening to killswitch though they aren't terrible are metalcore and will cause a metalcore corruption...he should start with soilwork and scar symmetry

The 2nd list is good but the other two lists are bad for normal metalheads. Hardcore is a genre most metalheads look down upon because it doesn't have much variety in musicianship, same goes for metalcore. Mostly young young people listen to hardcore and metalcore. But hey his choice not mine.

Like I said get everything they did from 83-94.

Fixed.

don't listen to this fag. JFAC and Suicide Silence are gay scenecore bullshit.

 

[TalesOfTerror]

Iron Maiden - Number Of The Beast

 

[Kreator/Destroyer]

don't listen to this fag. JFAC and Suicide Silence are gay scenecore bullshit.

you can tell because any band with suidcide in the name is scene metalcore so it sucks and job for a cowboy must be the worst band name i have ever heard

 

[cookiecutter]

It's "death metal" for metalcore kids, and really quite terrible.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

Fixed.

"divine intervention" is an acceptable piece of 90s Thrash IMO...

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

No it's not.

 

[IWP]

No it's not.

You're intitled to your own opinion, and so am I.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

slayer's albums

Show no mercy - 8.5/10

divine intervention - 7.5/10

exactly. why can't these kids listen to real grindcore bands like Cripple Bastards and Dahmer?

nigga please...SOH doesn't even compare to RIB and SITA!

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

nigga please...SOH doesn't even compare to RIB and SITA!

SOH has some fantastically dark lyrics (just check my sig!!) to go along with the great atmosphere of the songs

really well-written, more controlled and better structured (than RIB), excellent thrash metal

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Hell Awaits is by far the best by Slayer.

 

[IWP]

slayer's albums

Show no mercy - 8.5/10
Hell awaits - 8/10
Reign in blood - 9/10
South of heaven - 9.5/10
Seasons in the abyss - 8.8/10
divine intervention - 7.5/10

I'd say more like:

Show no mercy - 93%
Hell awaits - 93%
Reign in blood - 92%
South of heaven - 93%
Seasons in the abyss - 92%
divine intervention - 87%

 

[byrne]

more like:

Show No Mercy - 97%
Hell Awaits - 90%
Reign in Blood - 85%
South of Heaven - 82%
Seasons in the Abyss - 76%

and lets stop there. Divine Intervention, whilst reasonable, is entirely pointless. You may as well just listen to Seasons in the Abyss.
