most distinctive metal sound

[[)eadmund]

What metal bands that you've heard sound the least like all the other metal bands you've heard?

I vote Gorguts and Burzum.

 

[Spiderchrist]

Gorguts, Demilich, Lykathea Aflame, The Chasm, Mastodon, Mayhem.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Anacrusis, At the Gates (first two), Confessor, Demilich, Mayfair, Secrecy, and Spectral Incursion, although even in all of those (except probably Mayfair) there are still noticeable influences if you look for them or cut thinly enough. Of course, there are also metal bands like Cynic and Voivod that sounded like little metal of their time, but had more obvious influences outside of metal. And you can still find later clones of those bands as well.

EDIT: Yeah, Mayhem too.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Black Sabbath

Demilich

Fuck, what is that voice? What have you done to me?

 

[Spiderchrist]

Fuck, what is that voice? What have you done to me?

It's a near perfect Death Metal album. In the top 5 best, clearly. It'll grow on you over time.

[Krow]

Bolt thrower
Iced earth
Dying fetus

[End of Glory]

Dying Fetus
Havok

 

[EspaDa]

Burzum, Deathspell Omega, Meshuggah, Terrorizer

 

[End of Glory]

Not my cup of Tea but Ghost.

 

[Eligos]

Definitely not Ghost.

Ved Buens Ende, Fleurety, Gnaw Their Tongues and Portal.

 

[End of Glory]

Definitely not Ghost.

Then what? I haven't really heard anything like them and that's what he/she asked for.

 

[Krow]

Yeah definitely ghost. Maybe a lot of bands play similar occult rock but ghost is unmistakable.

 

[End of Glory]

Yeah definitely ghost. Maybe a lot of bands play similar occult rock but ghost is unmistakable.

Exactly

 

[Eligos]

Occult themes aside, the trend in stoner rock and its cousins is to cop the 60's/70's sound of their favorite artist. Royal Thunder does it with Heart and the like. An innumerable smattering of bands are doing it with Sabbath. Sound-wise, Ghost is nothing special.

That being said, I can't think of any other bands that have a custom dildo.

 

[Spiderchrist]

Cryptopsy, D.R.I., Napalm Death, Fear Factory, CELTIC FROST, Metallica, Death, Decapitated, Miasma, Psycroptic, Deicide.
I think when it comes down to it, Demilich and Gorguts have the most distinctive sounds within the Death Metal genre.


2:48 what the fuck is that shit? I haven't heard anything like Obscura...


The riffing is unorthodox and I honestly think that trying to copycat Demilich or Gorguts is near impossible.

Blut Aus Nord's drums are unmistakable.
