The Thread Where You Talk About Music You Like

[Hatebreeder]

There's the problem.

What the fuck is wrong with Children of Bodom?!

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

They suck.

 

[hibernal_dream]

haha. Seriously, Hatebreeder (album) has 1 or 2 decent ideas but this band will be forgotten in 5 to 10 years.

 

[toxic_rebellion]

I'm listening to:
Lamb of God
Nevermore
Machinehead
Stratovarius
Arch Enemy
3 inches of Blood
Death Angel

Non-metal:
Guns N' Roses
KISS
L.A. Guns

 

[toxic_rebellion]

Are you FUCKIN serious
have you seen CoB's Guitar player?
definetly better than YOU
not to mention how freakin well they put melodic riffs into metal

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

CoB's ability to play guitar better then I has nothing to do with the fact that they can't write any decent music.

 

[CF87]

Unanimated 'ancient god of evil'. classic

One of the best extreme metal albums ever.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Nav'- Halls of Death

Some good fucking black metal.

...except that they are wonderful songwriters.

How so? They seem to follow a standard verse-chorus structure or at least close to it with lots of unimaginative guitar and keyboard doodling in between... in other words, nothing special.

You say "They seem to..."; does that mean you haven't really taken the time to listen? And in reality, they don't really follow a standard structure. Some of their songs exhibit this quality, but for the most part, there's no formula for their songs.

That was said because I haven't listened to them in forever, and for good reason . But I know for a fact that their songwriting style has a very rockish and poppish vibe to it, meaning that that the verse/chorus is often repeated. And like I said, the guitar solo/keyboard sections are filled in between and make the structures appear diverse, yes, but there is nothing really integral or necessary about them; they just seem like mere superfluous musical add-ons. Isn't this typical approach to songwriting even more evident on their latest release?

 

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

The answer is actually yes, and let's continue with bands we LIKE.

 

[swizzlenuts]

The vocals for Gods Tower fit their music perfectly. I just put on The Eerie and it's about 100 times better than I remember. Fuck this band rules.

 

[Hatebreeder]

I've finally gotten around to exploring early death metal like Possessed and Entombed. It's the last area of metal I have to explore.

 

[DarkBliss]

Unanimated 'ancient god of evil'. classic

I've heard they're somewhat similar to Eucharist. I need to check them out

 

[cookiecutter]

I am liking the band Defeated Sanity. Good brutal death from Germany I decided to check them out after seeing Suffocation's bassist wear their shirt and I have not been disapointed.

I think Unanimated are more extreme and darkened than eucharist, they are a death metal band that is very much influenced by black metal and also have some usage of keyboards(not in a symphonic way), and almost a rockish vibe. I would say 'ancient god of evil' is like a mix between maybe Dissection and Iron Maiden.

 

[Mort Divine]

what style is it? i thought / assumed gothic rock, in which case it is very unlikely that ill enjoy it. name something similar to it, that you think I may have heard.

It is fairly original, to the point that I know very little like it. I guess, think Agalloch without the folk and occasional post-rock influences and place it in an atmospheric prog metal context.

I guess, Green Carnation MAY also be a decent comparison but not really.
Not Gothrock though, that started after A Deeper Kind Of Slumber.

I could also draw comparisons to Noekk

Also perhaps Katatonia's earlier works made with less death influence, maybe.
