Show me I'm not alone, somebody! Favorite metal bands? Why? Talk to me!
yeah! another metalhead! Here they are:
impending doom, despised icons, slayer, deathclock (not sure if that's really metal though) kill switch engage, kill whitney dead, and many more!
lol Dethklok is hilarious. You got some elitist pricks who'll tell you metal can't be funny, but those are the types that take themselves far too seriously. Nekro blood on them. Cannibal Corpse!
exelent band! as I lay dieing!
Whoops. I thought in the screamo topic, that u said metal sucked. Whoops sorry about that. Anyway, here r mine.
As I lay dying, All that remains, Kill Switch Engage, Demon Hunter, Red, Cold, Evans Blue, Disturbed, I am Ghost, the one song that I have by motograter, and others that I can't think of off of the top of my head.
I like metal. I just don't like anything centered on emotion, mallcore metal included. Other than mallcore, I love metal
Let's think. Chimaera, Emperor, Goatwar and Behemoth to throw a few more out there.
How is I Am Ghost metal? I think they meant real metal, like pure screaming. So...Diecast, Silent Civilian, Ayreon, Killswitch Engage, and Static-x are some of my favorites.
Ah pure screaming. ok, um, let me throw diecast, and silent civillian in my mix too. What is malker metal? I've never heard of that before.
I have no idea. Maybe that 80's crap, since that's what Cannibal Corpse is.
Forgot one. 36 crazyfists.
What? No, Cannibal Corpse is a nineties band. Mallcore is mall core. It's metal you buy at the mall. It's poser metal. Stuff like recent Korn. And like Staind. Basically, anything you can buy at a mall that has anxty lyrics is mall core.
Oh, and Cannibal Corpse is the awesomeness! As is Slayer. Though Corpse is death metal and Slayer is black metal. Real Christ killing soul raping black metal.
I would never put Staind on any metal list. They're my favorite band of all time, but I would never try to say they're metal. "New age", maybe, but I know the difference. That's your opinion of it though.
Wow, you guys, I never knew that there was so much variety to mettle!!! Christ on bloody crack!!!
Lol, that's a new phrase!
Nice phraise. Hey, dez, what do u think of psykostick? U think that would be metal?
psychostik! great band! I'd classify them as commedy metal.
Yep, I agree.
lol Psychostick. Funny stuff. Yeah, I'd say comedy metal, though that really doesn't exist. Then again, you look at Dethklok. They're pretty funny themselves, so I guess it could be a new one.
Christ on Bloody Crack. lol Doesn't that sound like a band name?
Staind has some decent tracks, no denying that. But I would classify them as adult contemporary, not metal. Kinda like Three Doors Down. Not a bad band by any means, but not metal.
And Phasia, there are more types of metal than even I know about. Let's see.
Death metal, black metal, power metal, mallcore metal, sludge metal, doom metal, gothic metal, orchestral and melodic metal, swamp metal, grindcore, zombiecore, ... and those are just the ones I'm expert on.
What would classify shinedown?
Same thing as Staind and 3 Doors Down, I think. I wouldn't call it mallcore, either, that makes it sound horrible and preppy. I would rather hear it called anything but emo pretty much.
lol. There defently not emo.
Shinedown? Hard rock. Sorry for the wait. Had to take a look around and hear some of their stuff before I could pass judgement. No, it's far too heavy to be emo. And it must be relatively obscure, seeing as I haven't heard them on the radio and I haven't seen their merch in the mall, so probably not mallcore. They remind me a bit of disturbed.
How bout maximum The Hormone?
J-rock. Or possibly J-pop, I'm not sure. If it were american, it would probably be labeled Mallcore. Or at least mainstream because the rifs are good and heavy, but the vocalist sounds close to tears a lot of the time.
I think it'd be Jrock. He sounds close to tears? hmm. I gotta listen to it again, but I doubt that.
I don't think he does. He reminds me of System Of a Down's first album.
Anybody ever heard of a band called kill whitney dead?
I was worried, man. I watched the "Let me Give You a Hand" vid, and there's that whole sequence at the beginning where he's talking to the girl. I was pleasantly surprised though. The whole "What does he have that I don't" thing is totally lame, and would normally mark the beginning of some faggoty emo song. But then the song started. I like them.
Seems like a death metal parody of emo to be honest. I mean the band sounds like death metal, but it's totally deticated to his ex. But I guess therein lies the difference between "Kill Whitney Dead" and "Whitney's Gone, I wanna die". Thanks for pointing them out.
Likewise, you guys should check out Acid Bath. Dark enough for my taste, but clean vocals and audible enough for most people to enjoy.
Will do. Thanks.
Oh, I just thought of 2 other metal bands I like. Hatebreed and Lamb Of God.
I listened to lamb of god, but I didn't like them verry much. What's some of their good songs, as well, as acid bath, and a perfect circle? I'll do a search for them on itunes.
There are so many bands I've got a liking for, I'd take pages to list them all, but here are some. Deathrow, exodus, morgoth, nasty savage, sacrifice, death, vio-lence, accuser, kreator, destruction, sodom, vital remains, napalm death, iced earth, incubus...not to be confused with the group that put out fongus amongus, rather the florida death metal band who put out an album called beyond the unknown.
Also it's not the same deathrow that's the label with artists like biggy smalls or snoop dawg. Also there's a thrash band from Toronto that's also got the name Slaughter. They had an album called Strappado. Also there's a german thrash band called poison as well. More groups in the library, mace, cryptopsy, diabolic, razor, sacred reich, severe torture, cyclone, gorgasm, mortician, pyaemia, suffication, obituary, atrophy, sabbat, bowel stew, disgorge, hate eternal, falconer, control denied, fleshless, broken hope, I could go on!
Wow Eddy. That is some great shit. Gorgasm and Iced Earth in particular are a few of my faves.
Acid bath's got several sort of sludgy, slower songs out that I like. Look for Graveflower, Venus Blue, Dead Girl, Paegan Love Song, Bleed Me an Ocean, Scream of the Butterfly, Fingerpaintings of the insane, well I'm a big fan of theirs, so I could go on for a while.
I'm ... really ... really not a fan of a Perfect Circle, but I am more familiar with their music than I care to admit. If you must subject yourself, the songs Counting Bodies like Sheep to the Rhythm of the Wardrums, Judith and Three Libras will give you an idea of their sound.
Thanks a lot. I'll check them out, and let ya know.
A few songs by Lamb Of God that are good are Laid To Rest, Redneck, and Ruin, but I'm not sure if you'll really like them since you don't like pure screaming that much. A Perfect Circle, I'll think you'll like, get the song The Outsider, that's another good one, and the one Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the rhythm of the War Drums is actually called Lullaby.
hatebreed is a great band!
What about goat hoar?
Also, what are your thoughts about tortcher killer?
That's one I haven't heard of before. Itunes's store search is gonna get a workout from me. :D
Goat whore? Are you serious?
Is that seriously a band? hang on i'll answer my own question...holy crap, it is. wow. Well, their is a band called sick puppies, so i'm not sure y that one surprised me.
Hey guys, I listened to the suggested songs, and heres the results.
I really didn't like anything by acid bath, but I did like the stuff by a perfect circle, mainly the outsider and Judith. For Lullaby, the only part i heard on itunes, was some distorted drums. I'll have to get that from bearshare, and listen to it.
Hahaha Goatwhore. Oh, the crazy stuff on Metal Blade. That's the label, by the way.
Gothic, the song is called "pet." That's the perfect circle one with the war drums.
goat hoar is a very interesting band.
how about emurae?
Them I've heard of. Their good.
yes they are.
also, forgot I also like chimaira
How about Soil?
Soil I have one song by them "halo". Their alight.
How about Devildriver?
Slayer .. black metal??? Hav you heard black metal. Slayer is hardcore, old school thrash/Hardcore. Or as i like to call them the AC/DC of the hardcore scene, cuz they have released the same cd over 12 times now much like AC/DC lol. DevilDriver is one of my favorites, along with Kittie, Sworn Enemy, Otep, Fear Factory, Metallica, (and lets not get start that metallica sold out conversation, cuz lets be honest every band we have mentioned so far was pretty much influenced by metallica at some point), System of a down, Blood Simple,Divine Heresy (Check them out if you liked Fear Factory its dino's new band) and a bunch more.
Divine heresy, divine empire, kittie, otep, opeth, scar symmetry, as i lay dying, all that remains, demon hunter, crimson thorn, crimson moonlight, impending doom, killswitch engage, nightwish, lacuna coil, delain, dragonforce, living sacrifice and more!
Ahh yes and MallCore .. This decades version of the term Nu Metal.another one of those sub genres of metal created solely for the purpose it seems for placing bands in that "true" metal heads don't like cuz they are either too mainstream or popular, or well as the title Mall Core implies, you can easily find their CD's at the mall.
here's my short list, and yeah, some of this is cross jonra so it may be metal or hard rock or whatever to some but anyways... metallica, megadeath, accept, skid row, opeth, pantera, dream theater, queensryche, arrien, pain of salvation, in flames, killswitch engage, system of a down, godsmack, drowning pool, chivell, coheed and cambria, heloween, whitesnake, poison, quiet riot, twisted sister, guns and roses, vai, satriani, 69 eyes, motorhead, iron maiden, A.C.T, alice in chains, alice cooper, anthrax, anialator, avenged seven fold, black label society, ozzy, black sabbath, winger, warrent, blind guardian, bruce dickinson, buckethead, cinic, damage plan, damn yankees, ted nuget, demons and wizards, diamondhead, ronnie james deo, disturbed, dockin, europe, evenessence, explorer's club, exivious, fate's warning, faith no more, g3, liquid tension experiment, gary moore, gordian knot, great white, white lion, triupmph, grimreaper, hawaii, iced earth, elninyo, jackyl, judest priest, kamelot, l.a guns, krocus, licuna coil, x japan, marty freedman, motly crew, oam, office of strategic influence, rage against the machine, rainbow, rat, sabatoge, sinata arctica, six a.m, symphony x, THE MCAULEY SCHENKER GROUP, UFO, the scorpions, smashing pumpkins, trans atlantic, trans sibeerian orchestra, trapped, vinnie moore, within temptation, Yngwie J Malmsteen, spinal tap, (of course),and the list goes on I'm sure. lol. and then we can't forget some of the groups that influenced metal and hard rock like the who, aerosmith, AC DC, rush, led zeppelin, the mc5, cream, Jimi Hendrix, the clash, sex pistols, all those great punk bands, etc.
Dragonforce? Can not stand them whatsoever. Avenged sevenfold is ok I just don't like the drums they use, it sounds like he's using a pot. Smashing pumpkins I could not get into did not like the way he sang.
haven't heard dragonforce yet actually. heard good and bad reviews here and there.
dragonforce is great. Anyone know of a band called carnafax?
the band is actually carnafex
58 posts and no mention of any stoner/doom metal? Sleep? Kyuss? Melvins? Saint Vitus? Boris? Weedeater? Earthride? Earth (early 90's band not to be confused with Black Sabbath's initial name)? Harvey Milk? Pentagram? Come on now.
Doom metal is too slow and sludgy for me personally. Dragonforce.. talented guys .. especially if you are into that who can play guitar the fastest type thing, (actually i am i just prefere it in the form of rhythm guitars ala Dino cazares of Fear Factory/Devine Heresey) But dragon force keyboards just sound like something ripped from a 1980's bon jovi tune and played faster over power metal lol. Like i said very talented group of guys , just not my cup of tea.
I see. not a fand of doom metal though, oh well. Grindcore is good though lol. Job for a cowboys awesome to!
job for a cowboy is great! How about five finger death punch
I fucking saw them yesterday with Otep and Shadows fall! they ruled! I was able to meet Otep and got a picture with her. she was really cool! not bragging or anything, just saying.
There's more to add! Sepultura...their first four albums when they had thrash and death metal in their sound. Deeds of flesh, jungle rot, nuclear assault, lapidate, mortician, atrophy, celtic frost, mortal decay, internal bleeding, jag panzer, evergrey, gamaside, hateplow, vital remains, pestilence, devastation, exciter, lust of decay, carved flesh, amputated, traumatism, avulsed, sepsism, nile, and many more!
Oops, that's gamacide. But there's more! Candle mass, D.R.I. krabathor, monstrosity, bound and gagged, exhumed, deaden, tankard, forced entry, vomitory, origin, agent steel, putralige, brodequin, cinirary, hipocrisy, oh I could go on!
FFDP is excellent, their new album is great!
Cynic - Traced in Air
Awesome awesome metal album.
Also check out Bury Your Dead (start with It's Nothing Personal).
sevas tra and house of secrets are both killer albums by otep! The assention and smash the control machine are also good. also sunrise over a sea of blood by mortal treason is amazing!
what is the chick from otep like off stage?
Also, can you torrent ffdp's new album?
oh yeah, chimaira has a new album called the infiction. check it out!
Otep, which is her actual name is really cool! she's nice and kind of laid back. but she's really cool. remember, otep is both her actual name and the bands. lol
Very nice, will do!
I totally agree, FFPP's new album is amazing!
And I like some doom metal, it really depends on the bands though. I like The Obsessed, Neurosis, Orange Goblin, and of course, where would doom metal be without Black Sabbath? Of course, I'm talking when Ozzy was in it, not after Dio came in and made it pure crap, but that's just my opinion.
I'm not sure if these two bands would qualify as metal, but they to me at least are excellent and I really hope they take off. They are:
Dead By April
and
Mental Issues.
That last one might be mentalissues, but I'm not sure.
More groups in the library! Manticora, dirty deeds, illdisposed, torsofuck, necrotic disgorgement, disfigured, skinless, silver fist, serpent obscene, vital remains, gorguts, disciples of power, defleshed, aborted, faith or fear, hirax, assassin, vader, attacker, savage grace, and many more!

Don't know what to say! So many bands I've never heard of. I like Metallica, black sabbath, slayer, pantera, As blood runs black, weedeater, crowbar, hellyeah, down, superjoint ritual, damageplan, bloodbath, obituary, Job for a cowboy (in small doces), and some other bands I can't remember. Anyone like beneath the massacre or exhorder?
