The non-metal thread

[no country for old wainds]

"FFS GoD stop moving non-metal threads out of the GMD!"
"B...but there's a non-metal forum for those. "
"Yes, it's the Phillip Neville of internet boards, indescribably useless. This forum is called general MUSIC discussion anyway gawd GoD"

And so it's come to this.

Let's give Dead Can Dance a good fellating, for a start.

Here's an idea for thread that won't have people whinning about what's metal and not.

Perhaps a thread on about non-metal bands whose's sound has had a tremendous influence on the foundations of metal. Such examples; King Crimson, The Doors, Kraftwerk and many others.


For this topic, I've heard Aion and The Sepent's Egg, both expressing some very beautiful compositions with the use of various instrumentals and influences.

 

[Cythraul]

Dead Can Dance is godly. Aion, The Serpent's Egg, and Spleen and Ideal are three of my favorite albums ever, in my whole life.

Falconsbane already did that a couple of months ago.

 

[R.I.P.2]

Primus, like, rawk and stuff.

 

[Barking Pumpkin]

Frank Zappa, Sun Ra, etc.

 

[Necro Joe]

Primus, like, rawk and stuff.

Yep they certainly do. Anyone else looking forward to the new Mars Volta album?

*crickets chirp*

 

[Jean-Pierre]

I can't stand the constant fellatio of Dead Can Dance.

Anyway, right now I'm enjoying some Johnny Cash.

 

[Necro Joe]

Right now I'm loving 'Red' by King Crimson.

 

[Mormagil]

I've been listening to Jethro Tull's Stand Up a lot lately. Cheap old vinyl = sweet

[anonymousnick2001]

OMG, the new Mars Volta has me sitting hot in my pants. De-Loused was amazing in itself. The new one...OMG.

I haven't been this anxious since before A Crow Left Of The Murder came out.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Lustmord > all other ambient.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

YES!! Frances the Mute is FUCKING AMAZING!! I've had it for a while now since it leaked, and it gets better with every listen I think. It's such an awesome album! This will definitely be one of if not the top album on my 2005 list

 

[The Grimace]

[Cythraul]

I can't stand the constant fellatio of Dead Can Dance.

Well, they're good so...

Edit: and they're better than Johnny Cash.

 

[Cythraul]

ANYWAY...Elend, they're good. The Umbersun and Winds Devouring Men are two albums that everyone should get, that is if you like to listen to music that's not shitty.

 

[RosesofShadow]

Eric Clapton maybe... and The Eagles.

Raison d'Etre
