The thread where you talk about non-metal music you like.

[CiG]

I know this is a non-metal thread but does anybody know some cool doom metal or heavy metal from Seattle besides Heir Apparent?

Myramainz is sweet stuff on the demo front (especially their 1990 demo), sort of ballsy and teched-up like a mix of Metal Church and Sanctuary (obviously two regional influences).

Im gonna assume you already know Nevermore

 

[Trodden]

I can post more if you want

 

[CiG]

Those first two tracks you posted didn't do anything for me. I'm after more traditional sounding metal, so not black metal or death metal etc.

I've never actually listened to Nevermore, where is the best place to start?

This was pretty good, is the demo available in any way other than digital? Reminds me I need to get into Sanctuary too.

I don't think they have any demo comps or anything.

the Seattle scene hasnt really put out a lot of great Metal

Their not for everyone but I think they're great. Nevermore has quite a range

to almost chill yet depressed Metal



to full on Metal




I strongly suggest giving them a serious shot

 

[Trodden]

I've never actually listened to Nevermore

they broke up, but their guitarist, Loomis, has some amazing solo shit

 

[CiG]

Will do. Cheers.

Do you know Culprit? They were one of the oldest Seattle bands, their album is kinda inconsistent for me but some songs are a bit more elaborate in a Siren sorta way, and usually they have good bass playing



(Actually this is another album I need to give another chance after several years of neglect tbh)

 

[CiG]

I'm just realising that Skelator are a band from Seattle, cool. Also I just discovered this demo:



Thanks I'll definitely check out Culprit.

These Nevermore songs aren't doing anything for me though, I'll check out their debut before I dismiss them entirely.

For me Melvins' best albums go like this:

Bullhead > Ozma > Houdini > Gluey Porch Treatments > Lysol > Prick > Stoner Witch

Prick is obviously their worst and Houdini should come before Ozma. The rest is rather correct.

also check out dane's first(?) band, serpent's knight. production is near unlistenably shitty unfortunately.



you probably know of the mentors already?

 

[CiG]

No, who are The Mentors? Teacher's union punk rock?

I'll check out that other band though. Cheers.

 

[no country for old wainds]

they do actually get called punk rock a lot haha, but the album i've heard just sounds like metal to me. i'm not a huge fan myself but they're one of those cult classic kinda bands, depends on how you feel about comedy lyrics. maybe check 'em out when you're drunk.

 

[CiG]

You twat I was being facetious!

 

[no country for old wainds]

oh lol sry

i was gonna say, i thought you knew every band ever in the history of the universe

 

[CiG]

Ha! I actually love The Mentors. I like all that sleazy metal/punk stuff. GG Allin, Dwarves, Antiseen, Gwar, Turbonegro, Anal Babes, etc.

Those are all great, especially Gwar and GG Allin.
