Metal Presentation

[Seditious]

I just went back and re-read your list of what you intend to play for your class, and I'm surprised that you're including Viking, Folk and Prog but not Traditional.

being what? if it's clean vox stuff like power metal or thrash then I think he's got that general vibe covered

 

[hibernal_dream]

necro has parts that are crushing and parts that are more melodic, overall they sound like a more melodic/technical version of suffocation. Clearly a tech/brutal DM band IMO

Just because it has heavy distortion doesn't make it heavy. Most of the time Necrophagist sounds like a retarded Paganini. Right now I'm listening to the beginning of "Seven" - what the fuck is the drummer doing? He's gotta be one of the worst drummers ever, and this is one of the shittiest songs ever made in the history of bipedal ape-descendants.

 

[Killbot]

play necrophagist - advanced corpse tumor from 2:00 - 3:30

that song has the sickest SOLO ever, it is just unreal (not just a wankfest, it actually has some feeling in it)

The best Necrophagist solo is in Stabwound, no question.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Hume and scotch have done more for my life than Chavs and Pop music

Scotland > England.

Ermmm, do you know what metal bands come from England?

 

[Astrum]

Frost, as a matter of fact. That is a very good black metal band, one of the best out of that area.

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

Like Iron Maiden do you mean?

Yeah.

What the hell, man? I mean Heavy Metal.

 

[King Richard]

He's gotta be one of the worst drummers ever, and this is one of the shittiest songs ever made in the history of bipedal ape-descendants.

But yet, Necrophagist is clearly one of the best tech melodic brutal death metal bands ever, clearly. /sarcasm

get onset to putrefaction, it's a much better CD

 

[jimmybob123]

I just an idea for playing the music. What if I did it in chronological order? Like..

Black Sabbath - Heavy Metal - 70's
Iron Maiden - Heavy Metal - 80's
Bathory - Black Metal - 80's
Slayer - Thrash Metal - 80's
Nile - Death Metal - 80's
Electric Wizard - Doom Metal - 80's
DragonForce - Power Metal - 90's

Or something similar? Just to show how new genres formed and metal evolved over time.

 

[skeptik]

Why would you use Nile, a band formed in the mid 90s, to demonstrate Death Metal, a form that developed in the 80s? Nile seems a bit far removed to be relevent. What about Autopsy?

fuck autopsy, get death or morbid angel, the two most influential bands in the genre

 

[skeptik]

I think Autopsy better represents the midway between the two extremes.

 

[hibernal_dream]

Power metal as we know it today was probably 80s too starting with Helloween

 

[skeptik]

Yeah, I agree, but I'm picking one cherry at a time. I think maybe Fates Warning would be a good choice for Power Metal, and maybe Candlemass or Solitude Aeturnus for Doom.

 

[hibernal_dream]

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about Fates

 

[jimmybob123]

OK well I'll get the bands worked out later, but generally speaking would you recommend I do about 5 song samples (of each genre), about 10 song samples (of each genre) or 5-10 chronologically ordered song samples (of each genre and time)?

 

[Seditious]

fuck chronology, you explain that in words. let the music samples be exemplars of the genres.

how long is this presentation going to be? fuck I wouldn't do more than one song of a genre even if it was a 30 minute lecture.

you could always throw in melodic death to contrast death, and brutal death too, and melodic black to contrast black, and 2nd wave black (rotting christ, samael) to contrast the raw shit... but no one needs to hear a bunch of the same shit.

DO NOT.

 

[jimmybob123]

Okay, well I'm planning on either doing the main 5 (a song from each): Death, Black, Thrash, Power and Doom. But I might do a couple more like Folk, Viking, Progressive, Classic and an Opeth song.
