Industrial/Metal/Alternative [music]
 

My brother recently introduced me to this American metal band called Arsis. Simply put, it rocks my socks. The best album is We Are the Nightmare, and the riffs are completely badass and that's an understatement. I was surprised to hear that they originated in the U.S., being as most American metal/death metal bands are notoriously awful in my opinion.
I'd recommend Arsis to someone who didn't like metal just to see if it would change their mind, hahaha.

Some stuff I'm listening to right now...

Draconian - BloodFlower < - - totally awesome
Eisbrecher - Vergissmeinnicht
Swallow the Sun - Deadly Nightshade
Amon Amarth - Pretty much all of it
Dark Tranquility - Inside the Particle Storm < - -totally awesome x2
Rammstein - Mutter, Ich Will, etc
Kataklysm - Shadows and Dust, Taking the World by Storm
In Flames
Some old PM5K
Rob Zombie - Feel so Numb, Living Dead Girl (subliminal remix)
Slipknot - Psychosocial
Random Static-X songs

I listen to a lot of music, but this is what I've been rocking out to at the gym for the past couple days.

I'm too stupid to embed videos, but for metal you can't beat MASTODON!

YouTube - Mastodon - Sleeping Giant



Oh yeah, and IWRESTLEDABEARONCE - Ulrich Firelord, Breaker of Mountains: Best song and band title ever

Rotting Christ- A Dead Poem

Oh, if any of you like Finnish metal, try Ensiferum. It looks like you like Amon Amarth, joey, so Ensiferum should be right down your alley. Maybe try Turisas too.

@Arikado Behemoth is a polish group.Rotting Christ is Greek .you give em a try before ? Also Amon Amarth is also put down as death metal as well .

Amon Amarth is Viking metal or death metal, yeah. I'll take a look at those two also.

Yeah i know that. try some of those.

Within Chaos- Heavy Metal
All That Remains
Taste Revenge
The Sword
Exodus
Shadows fall
Arch enemy
Sacred Reich
Trivium
Violent Femmes
Testament
Scar Symmetry

Yes! Sabaton! Sabaton rocks so hard. The lyrics are awesome too. Panzer Battalion, Into the Fire,... oh man, so good.

Of course people are gonna respond. Metal is too awesome not to have even just a few people into it wherever you go ;]

Edit: Did anyone mention Dethklok? Now that's brutal. Ever seen Metalocalypse?

yesyesyesyes!!!


Yeah.. they're hilarious XD

:D Great thread Crimson.

Let's not forget our Brazilian boys, Sepultura ^-^ I really dig heavy sh*t that dabbles with indigenous sounds and ideas.

Since this is Heavy Metal domain now, here's a band that's worth looking up. Saw them on VBS a couple weeks ago...

Acrassicauda

These guys need to make it to the states to tour. :p or at least out of harm's way :vsign:

Guys, feel free to join our group @ last.fm... let's rock the place XD

JapanForum – Group at Last.fm

Sepultura is dead,but since you like them,you should give a chance to the new Max and Igor Cavalera band,"The Cavalera Conspiracy".

I say they are dead because there is only 1 member remaining from the original line-up.

And before I forget,the other Max Cavalera project,"Soulfly",is also excellent.

Hahaha, I didn't know you liked it either. Metal brings together us all together, even those who have had ill meetings in the past ;]

lol. i guess.

yeah, Soulfly is pretty good. i love Max =D he's awesome.

and dont forget, a lot of real metal uses aspects of classical music =)

and do you know how freaking hard it is to do triplet picking? =P heck, its hard to pick real fast.

and metal definitely have more personality than most of the sh*t on the radio these days. more depth.


Lol. totally =)

LoL the winnie the pooh video was great

Yes TheCrimson and many Death Metal bands also have jazz elements,like Atheist for example,not?

I'm just going to list what I have so some of them will be repeats from before

All that Remains
As I Lay Dying
Atreyu
August Burns Red
Ensiferum
Evergreen Terrace
In Flames
Kamelot
Nightwish
Opeth
Scar Symmetry
Sinai Beach
Soil Work
Static-x
Still Remains
With Blood Comes Cleansing

I know its not very many but it's the metal/rock that I have. I'm a moody listener so I have all sorts.

LOL isnt it? =P i love it.

love Rammstein <3

they're simple, but they get their point across xD and Till is one dedicated man =D

and i wanna make a poinr on how awesome Bjork is... one of the most awesome alternative =D

Metal is the most fun to play on the guitar because it's just so f**king fast sometimes! If you have a nice beefy amp with good base, rhythmic palm-muted strumming sounds so amazing. God, I need to get a new amp SO bad. I have this like 10 year old piece of sh*t practice amp with nothing going for it besides decent gain. That's going on my Christmas list.

Arsis! (I don't know how to embed, I fail ;[ )

YouTube - ARSIS - We Are The Nightmare (Version One)
YouTube - Arsis - Overthrown
YouTube - Arsis - My Oath to Madness
YouTube - Arsis- Servants To The Night

Those are just a few, but the entire album We Are the Nightmare wins.

Wintersun: Listen to the solo at 3:05, it's great. This guy knows his scales ;]



Edit: Just figured it out haha

bullet for my valentine
and a little of the devil wears prada
i at first did not like them very much but you know what happens when you listen to a song too much...after a while you start liking it so yea and someother bands
like all that remains,slipknot, many more

My friend told me about this vid. Crazy voice

YouTube - Big Chocolate Death Metal Vocals

That's a crazy death metal voice he has. I cracked up when the guy started dancing at the beginning. That dance was SO RETARDED HAHAHAH.

Is that the dude who converted to religion?Or is that other?

I never paid much attention to the Korn guitars,since the bass is excellent so I always focused more on the bass.But the latest Korn album is quite weak,maybe that is because of Head's absence?

Bass strings on a guitar? o_o That's original...

Metal brings us together nice.To be honest i thought there was not many metal liking people here.

I am glad to know that there is a bunch of people to talk with about Metal. I very shocked Aniki did not make this as a metal club

We all need to meet and go to concerts as well :vsign: BTW i hate punk rock

A JF Metal Club? Did I hear this correctly? ;D

Punk rock is cool mate,The Clash,The Offspring ,and even a bit of The Ramones.Punk even influence a few metal bands,like Darkthrone for example.
