Metal 2016

[Pitiless Wanderer]

It is pretty awful.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Tech death used to be good but now pretty much sucks, save for a handful of bands.

 

[EspaDa]

Katalepsy used to make great brutal death metal.

 

[The Ozzman]

ITT people don't like metal above a certain bpm

 

[Krow]

"Brutal" death metal is a pretty terrible genre to begin with.

I care about your opinion on this subject.

ITT people don't like metal above a certain bpm

Uh, pretty sure Antaeus plays faster than most bands around so shut the fuck up.

 

[CiG]

I care about your opinion on this subject.

 

[Krow]

Katalepsy used to be about big lurching breakdown riffs. Now it sounds like plasticky technical deathcore. Not really sure I give a shit how fast they're playing. They did what every band that signs to unique leader does and it's pretty ridiculous. The label themselves is a tech death shit hole which is sad because it wasn't always so bad.

New Lord Vicar, Kvelertak, and Grand Magus all have my attention this month. Kvelertak's second album wasn't too good tho. Probably will be disappointed again.

 

[The Ozzman]

Uh, pretty sure Antaeus plays faster than most bands around so shut the fuck up.

Listening now. I listen to BDM that sounds way faster than the drumming here.

 

[CiG]

Extremely fast drumming usually sounds terrible.

New Lord Vicar and Grand Magus all have my attention this month.

Same. Also hoping the new Opium Warlords is out this year as well as something new by The Wizar'd as it's been fucking ages since their last album. Heard that they're supposedly putting out a new 7 inch this year.

The big one on my mind is some new Darkthrone, apparently that's out this year sometime.

Fingers crossed.

 

[The Ozzman]

Extremely fast drumming usually sounds terrible.

Okay. I guess most extreme metal drumming is terrible since it's extremely fast.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

constant blasting is awful.

new Katatonia and Death Angel this month...

 

[CiG]

Okay. I guess most extreme metal drumming is terrible since it's extremely fast.

"Extreme metal" is a generic term, what do you mean? Because I mean drumming so fast it doesn't even sound like drumming. It sounds like a packet of Tic Tacs in a paint mixing machine.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Only doom metal is real.

 

[CiG]

Only real metal is false.

 

[Evil Dead]

The new Abnormality is sick as fuck

100% accurate

 

[Burkhard]

Extremely fast drumming usually sounds terrible.

Though in this (probably already well-known) context it does have at least a certain entertaining quality:

 

[CiG]

Haven't yet seen Lucifer's Hammer's debut album posted. It's very good.
