Not listening to that much metal, as of late...

[dreaming neon darkspot]

Not sure why ... I guess I'm just not in the mood to headbang or listen to anything really loud or all that intense. I listened to DHIADW yesterday, because was getting concerned with how long it'd been since I listened to any Nevermore. I think it's Headbanger's Ball's fault ... how much of the stuff that they play every Saturday can really be considered metal? It's all of this hardcore/sreamo/emo/piss-poor wannabe death metal refuse. Every Time I Die, Avenged Sevenfold, As I Lay Dying, the Black Delish Murders, Killswitch Engage, etc., etc., etc. Pick a name out of a hat, they're all the same. I think I'll keep a running list tonight to see just how many of these bands they can fit into an hour and a half (they say it's a 2 hour show, don't fucking believe them!) Yesterday I bought Fiona Apple's Tidal, Hole's Celebrity Skin and Korn's Who, Then, Now/Deuce DVD for myself *hides from projectiles and missiles being fired at her*, and the s/t SOAD cd & a Slipknot DVD for the Hellspawn ... I love a lot of the songs on Tidal, but the sound on some of them made me realize why I listen to metal - because non-metal is the generic psuedo-music you hear everywhere. I'm thinking "The Learning" or Opeth's Orchid may help bring me back to where I belong.

That was another pointless rambling from your friendly ... err, angsty forum angsty teen.

I've also been listening to Agalloch lately...nothing bad with that though

[Pancakes]

I never exclusively listen to metal. Recently I've been into alot of old school and thrash, plus like Bazra (kickin' j-rock band) and shite.

 

[Super Mahrio]

Darkspot!!! Hole? WHY!!!! shame on you!!

anyway...i havent been in the mood for anything but metal...

 

[EVERLOSTINDEADETERNITY]

but to each his own. They played some Morbid Angel last week. They played Children of Bodom and Iced Earth a few weeks ago and I like those bands so its not as bad for me.

First of all its completely natural not listening to metal
Then this:

made me realize why I listen to metal - because non-metal is the generic psuedo-music you hear everywhere

is one of the most stupid things ever told

ive been getting into a bit of black metal and 'post-black' lately. used to be one of my more despised genres but i can dig some of this. ive found some stuff i really enjoy. and of course ive been listening to plenty of ambient techno for sleeping/smoking puroses. and KMFDM.

When I find myself all metaled out, I usually turn to my jazz or classical collections. There are few ills in this world that a little Bach cannot cure. I really enjoy both of Fiona Apple's albums, and I eagerly await the theoretical eventual release of her third. I wouldn't categorize it as "generic pseudo-music" at all. Her second album is stronger than Tidal and feels more jazzy and less pop oriented. Another artist I have really been enjoying outside the realm of metal is Richard Bona, a bass player from Cameroon who mixes up jazz and African styles in a really interesting way, with vocals sung all in his native tongue. I also recommend The Gipsy Kings (especially Love y Liberte) as a good change of pace. And, of course, there are times when the oppressive weight of the more bleak and depressing black/death in my collection gets unbearable and I need a rock-n-roll enema to clean me out. I reach right for CoC's Deliverance, Monster Magnet's Powertrip, and anything by AC/DC. Monstrous power chords up the ass.

I usually find obscure black metal bands by browsing other people's playlists and just randomly downloading whatever looks good.
