What will be the next big thing in metal?

[Youpimatin]

I follow Behemoth since their first album, it has always been Black Metal. With some Death Metal stuff in it for maybe 2 or 3 albums. Some people call it Blackened Death or Death/Black, why not ?
But the lyrics, the music, the artwork, the atmosphere, their clips, all seems to be closer to Black Metal than to Death Metal.
Anyway, Behemoth is not the next big thing...

Djent already to an extent is the new trendy thing. I hear it more and more in radio songs - soon that's allt he new bands are going to be clones of.

I think more doomy sludgy stuff may find it's way to the forefront. Some of the bands that harken back to more 70s metal.

 

[Ronixis]

DJENT

+1 to wanting singing to make a comeback, BUT NOT THAT FUCKING OPERATIC SHIT.

Seriously, if there's anything that makes me REALLY hate metal, it's the 14 year old kids that go to Opeth shows wearing Folk Metal band shirts and people who listen to nothing but cock-rock and stuff with that awful screechy vocal style people like to call singing.
I wanna see more vocalists who can REALLY sing do stuff within the metal genre.
Jeff Buckley vocals over Djent, I could really dig that.
Joni Mitchell over Nile tracks, yeahhh.

You guys are all backwards.

REAL opera Pavarotti style vocals over blastbeats would be the coolest thing ever.

 

[James-Doolan]

I don't know if you are being sarcastic or not, but Lady Gaga is the shit for real haha

pa-pa-pa-poker face pa-pa-poker faceeeee

As long as it doesn't end up like Within Temptation and Nightwish, that shit would be awesome.

I really hope not, power-metal singing should be ambushed beside some lonely dockland warehouse, beaten unconscious with a blackjack, bundled into a Ford Sierra and mysteriously 'disappear'. Everyone will rejoice as they can finally venture back onto the internet and into independent record shops without being subjected to spandex cock-metal.

HAHAHAhahahaahahhaa, brilliant, and well said James

If Katy Perry came out with a metal album I would absolutely die.

PopMetal FTW.

Is she the one that sings in bad english? Whenever I hear her (and Lily Allen) my head goes crazy correcting all their bad pronunciation and 'course vowels'. Those girls need to go to some elocution and deportment lessons.

Dragonforce came to mind intially, but stuff like Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, that god-awful singer from Dream Theater, some of the 'other' Folk Metal bands. Whenever I think of Folk metal Agalloch and Drudkh conveniently comes to mind, whilst I simultaneously try to ignore Korkiplanniaiiaiiniiiiianiigi, Finntroll and all that jazz (not jazz).

Man I'm being a bit of a hater these past few days, apologies to all the My Dying Bride and Power Metal fans.

I agree though that Djent seems to be on the rise, as does the Sludge/Ambient/Post-Metal amalgamation, which is cool.

 

[Felix Neumann]

Pornmetal..I´m quite sure.

I wholeheartedly endorse this statement, service or product.

 

[CatharsisStudios]

djent + a day to remember + whitechaple + deftones


that will be the new big thing

 

[Waterboy]

I just wish there was something as epic as queen out there that can totally blow my mind again..

I know some queens who are into blowing things ....
Just kidding, Bobby.

This is actually an interesting topic (IMHO).
Granted - I am not exactly "Metal" .... I'm more like Aluminum Foil.

You know what else might make a comeback? Standard Tuning

Sylosis sure did it well. And by well I mean fucking awesome.

 

[ParsonsMatt]

I'm going to toil away making symphonic metal, fuck what anyone else is doing.
