The Thread Where You Talk About Music You Like

Yeah, because first you were an Opeth worshipping fanboy who went "Maiden's lyrics aren't half as intelligent as Åkerfeldt's fine art poetry, and those 80's falsetto vocals are SO GAY, I mean HELLO BRUCE DICKINSON, THE EIGHTIES CALLED: THEY WANT YOUR VOCALS BACK LOL I CRACK MYSELF UP" and then you were an SRP worshipping fanboi who went "Maiden is highly overrated, having taken all the inventive neo-classical elements from Judas Priest and turned them into ideologically degenerate, highly derivative rock-based conventionally structured pop music" and in both cases I go BIG LOL @ U

Actually it stems all the way back to my Metallica-fanboy days when I deeply opposed Iron Maiden for having gay overrated music and vocals in comparison to Metallica's sexy vibe. I still find some early Metallica fairly enjoyable if I'm in the mood for something pretty simple and fun, though. On the other hand, Iron Maiden have just never done anything for me bar a few songs, in any way. Give me The Chemical Wedding any day.

'Powerslave' is the only Maiden album I ever liked as a whole, other than that it's just a few songs here and there.

 

[Taliesin Stormheller]

Agalloch, Pain of Salvation, Opeth, old school Fates Warning, Symphony X, Sonata, old school Blind Guardian. Yeah, I'm a mainstream loser. BTW, Maiden are good.

The new Buried Inside will go down in metalcore history.

Let's hope so!

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Buried Inside seem pretty smart to me.

Band recommendation of the day:

Eyes of Ligeia

 

[anonymousnick2001]

I've heard the name countless times. What style? Similar bands? Suggested tracks?

plz

 

[no country for old wainds]

All their stuff supposedly rules but I only have their latest, and it's fairly unique uber-atmospheric doom which you'd like I have no doubt.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Good call...I do like what I've heard of Eyes of Ligeia. They're very...chill. Not like the typical doom metal stereotype. And the album cover for What the Moon Brings is amazing.

On another note, what is the consensus on Karl Sanders' Saurian Meditation?

 

[Melodeath]

I liked it.

Buried Inside seem pretty smart to me.

I read an interview with them and the lead singer (I think he was the one being interviewed) was totally smart.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Usually metalcore albums have pretentious titles that mean absolutely nothing, but Buried Inside really seem to be sincere. "Time as Methodology" is a great song.

 

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

Yes. They are serious, and while that concept is a totally unheard of undertaking...they do it fine and well, alright.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Heavy as shit, too!

 

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

Crazy "atonal" riffing!

Damn it, you guys have me intrigued now.

Varathron's Walpurgisnacht is one of the best examples of melodic black metal that i have heard and dare i say that it's even better than their debut, His Majesty at The Swamp. It bears a more heavy metal influence while retaining the aggression of thrash/black.

How did Runemagick, Mournful Congregation and Cianide work out for you?
