K, I need some suggestions for walk up songs. I had picked Bal-Sagoth's "Obsidian Crown Unbound" but they lost all the recordings so I need to pick a new one.

Here is mah list. Keep in mind the beginning is the only part that gets played, so I want something with a cool start.


Dimmu Borgir - Progenies or Serpentine Offering
AC/DC - For Those About to Rock
Bal-Sagoth - Obsidian Crown
Kansas - Carry on Wayword Son
Dream Theater - Erotomania/This Dying Soul
Chic - Good Times
The Cars - Hello Again
1349 - I am Abomination.

Pick one plz k thanks!

I Am Abomination

 

[cookiecutter]

do these bands have what I am looking for?

you know interesting songwriting, good vocal range with vocals that don't sound like pig grunts, good drumming without constant blasts, good riffs, like deeds of flesh?

Yes. Also of note: please only check out Infected Malignity stuff from their first album. They have since switched to Deathcore. Either way you will probably like IM the least, but check it out any way. Vile is a Unique Leader Cali death band so as a DOF fan you should like it.

 

[Carcassian]

No fucking way. That bunch of maudlin fucks can lick my ballsack.

 

[kmik]

I'm looking for music that is not dull or too anthemic (i.e subversive/ethereal/depressive/atmospheric - you can put on your headphones and actually listen to it, and discover new things every time), but still relatively "easy" to listen to (i.e not pop, but with singing, good productin and not too repetitive). I'm thinking the more poppish Dead Can Dance tracks like Tell Me About the Forest, Joy Division, King Crimson, the Acid Bath ballds, Joanna Newsom, Sigur Ros etc.

 

[ohiogrinder]

anything thats easy to listen to is not worth listening to at all.

 

[Astrum]

Not true.

 

[Belligerent]

Try Porcupine Tree seeing the other thread was closed

 

[ohiogrinder]

Not true.

go listen to Kenny G.

 

[kmik]

I'm not saying easy to listen to - I'm saying relatively easy to listen to. Something between Lustmord and Queen

WTF is Lustmord? And Queen sucks so I give up

 

[ohiogrinder]

Yes. Also of note: please only check out Infected Malignity stuff from their first album. They have since switched to Deathcore.

wtf sellout.

 

[Mort Divine]

Joanna Newsom

Um, let me see:
The Appleseed Cast - Low Level Owl 1 & 2
God Is An Astronaut - All I Violent, All Is Bright
Minus the Bear - Menos El Oso
Jesu - Sundown/Sunrise
Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain

Lustmord were a band that did a collaboration with the Melvins. thats all I know about them.

 

[DarkBliss]

Lustmord is dark ambient and early Queen rules I'd recommend him something but I'm only getting into the stuff he mentioned myself. I have been recommended This Burning Effigy-To Bestial Gods.
Gothic rock,supposedly with the atmosphere of Dead Can Dance.

 

[DarkBliss]

kmik, you might find this list to be of interest:

try some of the neofolk listed in the non-metal gneral disc. board.


Alice in Chains is as great as Acid Bath
Arcana make shit like Sigur Rós

dunno who those other soft cocks you mentioned are though.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

dunno who those other soft cocks you mentioned are though.

I am going to fucking kill you for calling king crimson "soft cocks"

 

[Matt]

Jesus Christ, that's one of the most random-ass assortments of songs I've ever seen. I never dreamed I'd see "Dimmu Borgir" and "Kansas" mentioned in the same place.

What's a walk up song, anyway?

It's the song they play when you walk up to bat. Hence the name "walk up"

I Am Abomination

Possibly.

WTF is Lustmord? And Queen sucks so I give up

Queen slays your ass

 

[Hatebreeder]

Lustmord is dark ambient

Wow, I've been playing around with this name for some time (though spelled "Lustmorde") and never knew that someone else was using it. :zombie:
