What do you see as a 'disgrace' to metal music? Why?

[The Ozzman]

His newest album got me interested in him again although I thought his shit with SYL was lame. It was like Fear Factory light.

I agree but also disagree with the SYL thing. Yeah its very Fear Factory based but I feel SYL is a lot more demanding. Fear Factory seems formulaic where Devy's bipolar disorder keeps the music quite literally fucking bonkers.

It depends on the sample used. A snare that is programmed in already tinny/reverbed can't be fixed no matter how you EQ it.

It really does depend on the Drum Machine. I can dig it, but all these slam bands or deathcore bands with drum triggering and 808 bass drops are fucking ridiculous. It sounds awful.

And bands that mix the kick and snare where it sounds like a machine gun is annoying too.

I find most "industrial metal" to have nothing to do with industrial, tbh. I mean godflesh is an exception...drum machine does not equal industrial.

 

[Sophii]

Of course, there are more aspects to it besides drum machines. But I mean a lot of them had to use what they had, which drum machines were definitely integrated with the cold and machine like sounds.

Hell thats pretty much why Broderick used it. He couldn't find a drummer and said fuck it, he knew what he wanted.

i haven't listened to much Townsend, but Fear Factory > devin

Yeah, I figured as much regarding what you meant. I also laugh when I see "industrial black metal" being labeled as such because it's got a drum machine programmed to blastbeat and honestly a lot of those bands have more a cyberpunk vibe than anything close to industrial.

However, Godflesh does have a lot to do with industrial music on a number of levels.

I think the closest any black metal band has gotten to industrial is Ulver

None of their more experimental work is really proper industrial to my ears, if I'm correct but I'm not entirely sure. Which albums are you referring to? I'd love to hear what you mean.

Godflesh, for sure. Fuckin' in my opinion, Blut Aus Nord is legit industrial metal.

when you only response is to use what i said as a 16 year old against me, you might need to buy a better argument

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

you might need to buy a better argument

then just keep posting.

Yet you still use the argument that I like Unearth (a band I haven't listened to with any frequency for over 7 years) as an argument I have shit taste. What's the difference?

Because you still do?

I haven't posted about Unearth since 2007 and that was saying that I liked one of their albums.

The Stings of Consciousness rules.

Magnificent last few posts.

I used to the shaggy hair of the Unearth guy when I was a little kid.

Yeah you're right. I was remembering wrong. I always saw Shadows of the Sun some sort of weird drone industrial thing when I was younger. I do remember their Marriage of Heaven and Hell having some touches of it in parts, but not pure industrial.
