The Thread Where You Talk About Music You Like

[Wires & Waves]

currently listening to agallochs latest and wondering why people still call this metal when it has more in common with rock, folk and postrock. sure it's metal-influenced but...it's not metal. the last 3 tracks sound (a LOT) like Mono! maybe it's irrelevant but i'm a pedant when it comes to such things!

 

[Nico]

Indeed, it's their least metal release. In fact, I think it's their least folk release at the same time.

 

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

I don't care.

Fuckin' anticlimactic!

I've said it before and I will say it again; In-Quest rules.

could you imagine most people here, most metal fans anywhere, admitting to liking any of those three?

they're lying to themselves so their neat little world doesn't get shattered. no frayed ends, just TEH METTHULL!!

TEH METTHULL!1111!!!! LOL

I actually love progressive rock

plain rock is pretty boring though (though I prolly haven't listened to enough of it)... king crimson is one of my favorite bands right now (in any genre)

with the exclusion of Not Unlike the Waves


but you're right with the comparison to Mono...I believe the drummer played with Mono or some other post rock band. Agalloch isn't shy about comparing themselves to post rock bands or admitting they are influenced by post rock. The last three tracks are probably my favorite ones

 

[Hatebreeder]

I thought it was great, despite a lack of metallic elements. It was all quite relaxing and well-written. Kept me awake in the wee hours of the morning.

 

[Mort Divine]

I think that if AAtG were more metal it wouldn't be as good of an album, the atmosphere they achieved on it wouldn't have been as possible with a more metal oriented sound.

Most definitely. I've heard enough ambient black metal, and it was time for something a bit different.

 

[Wires & Waves]

the ywere never "ambient black metal" but ok

 

[Zephyrus]

I'm really enjoying Summoning's Stronghold album. It's everything I liked from Minas Morgul and then some.

 

[Mort Divine]

You actually fucking agree with this utterly bullshit statement?

I think it follows abit of the same logic that idiot Slipknot fans follow when they get offended when someone says the bands they like are not metal.

 

[Mort Divine]

Do you honestly think that that statement reflects the majority of this board though?

Maybe not the majority of people here, but I could see most metal fans in general being that way.

I've had Beatrik's Journey Through The End Of Life on my computer for about a year, but only decided to give it a proper listening in the past week or so. It's actually extremely good, I don't know why I put off listening to it for so long. Any other fans?

Beatrik are my least favorite of the Black Legion Bands, but I still think they are pretty solid.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Shit, Old Wainds is fucking awesome.

Everyone into BM find a way to get "Scalding Coldness"

or get their split with Nav' called "We Are the North".

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

I think i just mixed them up with Belketre

edit: I haven't listen to much BEATRIK
