DOOM - WARNING WATCHING FROM A DISTANCE

 

[Winter.]

hey, winter, aintcha supposed to wear a low cut top for absurd angle photos like that?

You wish mate!

Hey, a Perth chick! Always good to find another metalhead in this sadly conservative town

Hi there
Yes it is rather conservative isn't it. As much as I love living here the music scene is nothing like my Bonny Scotland

List party?

I added "Grindcore."

Black metal: Nachtmystium- Instinct: Decay. Or Summoning- Oath Bound. Or DsO- Manifestations 2002.
Death metal: Skinless- Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead
Doom metal: Swallow the Sun- Ghosts of Loss (Reverend Bizarre's II: Crush the Insects is a 2005 release...)
Gothic metal: Paradise Lost- In Requiem, unless you consider that doom, in which case Katatonia- The Great Cold Distance
Industrial metal: I dunno what you mean here, precisely. If we're talking "industrial" in the pop-ish, commonly understood sense, I actually liked Nine Inch Nails' Year Zero; if this is another weird term for "math metal" or whatever, then I guess I nominate Meshuggah's ObZen.
Melodeath metal: Heaven Shall Burn- Iconoclast (they're totally melodeath now)
Metalcore: Despised Icon- The Ills of Modern Man
Power metal: No idea.
Progressive metal: Opeth- Watershed.(I'm a Dream Theater fanboy too, so I'm honor-bound to recommend Systematic Chaos.)
Symphonic metal: No idea.
Thrash metal: No idea.
Grindcore: Pig Destroyer- Phantom Limb
Other stuff: Ulver- Shadows of the Sun

At least the weather is much better. Although judging by your handle, maybe that isn't such a big drawcard!

Alright, I'll give this a go for the genres that I listen to a decent amount of:

Black metal: tough one... between Ne Obliviscaris - The Aurora Veil and Lunar Aurora - Andacht
Death metal: Necros Christos - Triune Impurity Rites
Doom metal: Warning - Watching from a Distance
Gothic metal: Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance
Melodeath metal: Insomnium - Above the Weeping World
Progressive metal: Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain
Symphonic metal: does Aborym - Generator count?
Other-heavy-metal-that-cant-really-be-categorized metal: Alcest - Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde

Thanks again for all the recs.

 

[S<issors]

def. get the aurora veil, s'excellent

 

[scytheavatar]

Some of the genres like melodeath, thrash and power pretty much has never evolved and there's no such thing as a modern sound for them.......

 

[TartanLlama]

the music scene is nothing like my Bonny Scotland

I'm from Edinburgh and the music scene here is utter shite. It's all "Oh! Check this oober l33t death metal band I found! They're called Korn!" or "Spiral Architect? Are they like Slipknot?" it's horrible.

Where and when in Scotland were you refering to?

Scotland has much better access to gigs than Western Australia does. That's what I was referring to.

And I'm Glesga born and bred love!
