Starting My Metal Collection

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Weak in the sense that it's not brutal at all. It's poppy. That's why it's so popular.

Shit, what planet are you from?? Behemoth's Demigod "poppy"?? :Smug: I know you must be joking. It's not really a sell out album. I think stuff like Thelma6 was more easily digestable. I don't even think Behemoth are very good, but the light you're trying to portray them in is just ludicrous.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Muffin Man, do you like Dream Theater?? If you're not familiar with them you have to get "Awake" I would think. Looks like you might like them judging by your list.

[Alongside Death]

Black: Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas or Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
Death: Death - Human, Morbid Angel - Gateways To Annihilation
Thrash: Demolition Hammer - Epidemic Of Violence
Brutal Death: Insision - Ikon, Vomit The Soul - Portraits Of Inhuman Abominations

For black metal I also recommend Tsjuder - "Desert Northern Hell" but Mayhems' and Darkthrones' albums are classic.

JESUS, how could I forget a must own album that I hold dear to my heart...

Spiral Architect "A Skeptic's Universe"

:danceboy:

If you don't own this one get it! I hear they've "somewhat" been working on a new album. I hope I see it in my lifetime!!! These guys are nuts.

More like "borders on melodeath". Weak.

Not at all. The drumming is very intense, there isn't much melody...it isn't brutal death, but it's not all that far.

Ok so I will give you, like Hatebreeder, a record for each genre.

There are only three genres of metal now?

 

[The Ozzman]

MasterOLightning is too cult for shit like Behemoth. It sounds nothing like melodeath, obviously, but he wants to say that because he hates the record.

 

[MasterOLightning]

I don't hate the album; it's merely average. The songs are not particularly interesting or complex in their construction. Most of the songs have clean melodic leads that would be easily accessible. This is why the album is popular. It has melodicism that appeals to lots of people, hence poppy. It's considerably more melodic and simple than Nile, whom Behemoth is frequently compared to. The drumming is very busy with lots of fast blasting, but that is more likely to appeal to people than turn them off. And I said before, the vocals just sound like a crappy attempt to be brutal.

 

[mutantllama]

Manowar-Hail to england, Battle Hymns

 

[Skepticism]

Gorgoroth - Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam

Stay away from Gorgoroth after first 3, King is complete shit at writing music when compared to the almighty Infernus.

 

[llamaking]

Parkway Drive - Horizons
Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast, Killers
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Celtic Frost - Morbid Tales/Emperors Return
Death - Human

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

^ One of these things is not like the others.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

But it sure does kick ass (though it ain't a classic).
