Help this noob discover real metal?

[Hell Awaits Us All]

like reverie/harlequin forest?

yea - I love majority of their stuff though

ive never liked opeths acoustics, but they are truely one of the most evil sounding bands ive heard

LOL someone show this kid some dark funeral or buzum

I completely agree with Hammer of Might from the first page. I got started in the Melodeath/power scene like most people, and it almost made me quit listening ot metal. The songs get tedious fast, just not as fast as new metal. I am weening one of my buddies into metal right now, and I found that Fates Warning, Satan, Manilla Road, Slough Feg, Hammers of Misfortune, Helstar, etc help better because they help them understand what metal is, and when coming to death metal or black metal they can appreciate how it evolved to what it is.

dark funeral is kickass

sorry..burzum is shit

You obviously haven't heard opeth

They don't sound evil compared to Gorgoroth or Dark Funeral, both who I listen to frequently.

 

[Gold]

i just listened to dark funeral. then opeth

opeth sounds more evil to me

but thats just my opinion

 

[Astrum]

You obviously haven't heard opeth

You obviously dont have a clue what you are talking about, as proved by saying this and saying burzum is shit.

Hello I'm new * wave wave * ect
First real metal song i heard was White Worms (Cryptopsy). Not a great intro for a former blues girl.
Best advice in my opinion is go to myspace, search 'metal' and listen to demos and promos. Note what you like. Or check out the numerus online radio shows n podcasts ( no ipod necessary for these - they play in any media player).

havent ever heard a decently good song by burzum

 

[NecrosluG]

I would recomend you some REAL metal but as I can see you listen to crappy mainstream NON metal shit.
But what the hell...

Try :
Hecate enthroned
Abyssos
Emperor
Dimmu Borgir
Satyricon
Xasthur
Unholy Martimony

Lol , I'm kidding

Since you are a begginer , some Iced Earth shit would be great to set you off.
Good luck

the best intro to metal is "the black album" by metallica

extremely accessible and a great gateway album

kataklysm's "serenity in fire" did a better job for me

I never started with power metal. I started with thrash, some nu-metal and stoner/doom.

Opeth can indeed be very evil sounding, although not in the same way as a Black metal band. The vocals for instance are some of the most powerful in metal and they really have a dark, eerie, evil sound that can be enhanced by the intricate guitar riffs and soundscapes

Listen to "War"

opeth is a fantastic band... every one of their songs (well majority of their songs) is an incredible, immersive experience

that's what I love about great metal... it makes you totally forget about reality

alot of black metal has more of an epic feel than an evil feel

That would be tough call..

Burzum makes me weep and pull my hair out
