The Heavy Metal Thread!

[JBrainard]

I'm creating this thread for the discussion of all things metal.

I'll start:
1. I recently discovered a band called "1349." I would highly recommend it to fans of black metal and/or grindcore.
2. I've been hearing good things about a band called "Wolves in the Throne Room." Anybody heard any of their stuff? I'm going to go check out a live show of thiers in October to see what they're all about.

Long Live Metal !!!


I discovered two bands that are pretty good.


Agalloch - DarkMetal/ Folk Metal, good mix though. Check out album Ashes against the Grain. Haunting guitar riffs and choruses etc....


Soilwork - Swedish Metal Band that whoops some serious @ss.

Thanks for the tip. I looked them up on wikipedia and they are from my home town. Hell, they might even be (one of) the opening act(s) for the Wolves in the Throne Room show.

You're welcome.

Thanks Kreth, I didn't want to have to be the one to say it. :lol:

Most of the new metal coming out of the US is pretty crappy.
You mentioned Raven... Are you into any of the other "New Wave of British Heavy Metal" bands? ("new" being somewhat of a misnomer)

Actually I don’t know can you name a few?

As far as those I listened to that I know are British there is Dio, Black Sabbath (Whit and without Dio), Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Judas Priest

But I have an old collection that has Accept, Scorpioins, Y&T, Queensryche, Tigers of Pan Tang, Manowar, Megadeth, Metallica, Loudness, Twisted Sister to name a few.

Um, Dio is from upstate NY...

Some examples of NWOBHM bands would be Iron Maiden, Saxon, Motörhead, Angel Witch, Tygers of Pan Tang, Blitzkrieg, Avenger, Sweet Savage, Girlschool, Jaguar, Demon, Diamond Head, Samson, Tank, and Venom.

Oh no you didn't.... LOL..I remember them from like when I was 14.

Iron Maiden are the all time lords of metal IMHO...(huge fan)

I'm still listening to Machine Head's latest..The Blackening...it's outstanding. Not a bad song on there.

Like the new Five Finger Death Punch and the Slipknot's new release "Psycosocial" kicks much butt.

Not much into the mic-in-the-mouth stuff though I never miss an episode of Metalocolypse and preset #1 on my Sirius radio is Hard Attack. =-)

 

[Andy Moynihan]

You NEED Iced Earth.

 

[Xue Sheng]

Um, Dio is from upstate NY...

Not when he sang with Black Sabbath

And the member of his Road crew that threatened to eat the first 3 rows if they didn't back up wasn't either

Then the answer I guess is yes

Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Tygers of Pan Tang and I saw Saxon but I did not like them

That's what I thought the thread was about

i second any recommendations for wolves in the throne room or agalloch, though i prefer their album "the mantle".

satyricon, amon amarth, insomnium, meshuggah, & ulver are some must listens.

there are a couple of celtic themed metal bands called primordial & mael mordha which i also really like.

i'm a little confused as to why led zep was mentioned in a metal thread. ma-caver, there's this band you might like called "black sabbath" you should check them out

for anyone who likes sabbath, check out kyuss, electric wizard, & the sword.

I know Sabbath (War Pigs, Iron Man, Sweet Leaf, et al) and like them but only a few songs. I'm particular about the HEAVY metal that I listen to... But Zeppelin was one of the originators of Metal so they had to be mentioned. Maybe they're not as speedy or as booming as the metal that came after them but nobody at the time sounded like them and the music by Page, Bottham, Jones was copied and remade and remade again to be faster, heavier. Plant's vocals well they're all by itself I think.
I'm particular about the metal that I listen to because I can't see screaming as actual singing. Some metal singers do just that.
But that's my opinion.
And I'm a guy who has over 25 John Denver songs and 15 Neil Diamond songs among his collection in his computer. But it's balanced out by the Who, Beatles, Floyd, and others.
