I absolutely love how many elements this song blends together. Electronic chorus, metal-core verse, power ballad bridge, thrash metal, then just a brutal ending. Chef’s kiss on this one.
What is your favorite metal song that you just can’t share with your non-metal friends?
Turns out most of my friends are not into grindcore nor do they appreciate me sharing said music.
Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza is another that is such an excellent song but my non-metal friends just hear noise.
I did get the wife to listen to The Chariot but I think that was about her limit.
I’ve not listened to The Chariot in a good long while, thanks for the reminder!
I’m basic and most of my favorite metal is pretty accessible. That being said, there’s a couple I don’t usually play for my friends:
Yodh - Mizmor
Converge, in general
Meshuggah, in general
Hey I just joined Lemmy recently since I’m trying to get away from Reddit. Part of what I miss is the music communities for finding recs and concert dates.
Would anyone be interested if I made a space for Metal? Or maybe a more mature one already exists? I haven’t made one yet but I could figure it out!
I wouldn’t call myself a metalhead, but I’ve been listening to Galneryus a lot lately (japanese powermetal). Any recommendations?
Galneryus is so good!
Vulcan is more into #visualkei, so will recommend Versailles.
If you like light hearted lyrics, gloryhammer and Angus McSix are pretty fun, they don’t take themselves serious, and I love them for it.
Hell yes! So happy to find some other metalheads here. I’m sort of “basic”, I guess, in terms of my metal tastes. I haven’t been able to get into any harsh vocals. I can get into Mastodon’s harsh vocals and enjoy some of Gojira and Opeth. But other than that, I’ve never had harsh vocals “click” for me.
So I mainly love and always listen to Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, and Megadeth…NWOBHM stuff mainly. But I want to branch out and get into some newer stuff.
Recently I’ve enjoyed the latest releases from Blood Ceremony, Blood Star and Oozing Wound. Sleep is pretty cool, and I enjoyed Thrice’s newest release.
So I’m interested in finding some new music to check out with you fine folks!
Gastronomicon by Slugdge, the mollusc-themed death metal band that is far, far better than it has any right to be
So I know this comment’s kinda old but I just got here lol. I’m a stoner/doom guy but I got recommended Slugdge recently and they kicked my ass. Esoteric Malacology really did it for me
A pal of mine set up [email protected] for red and anarchist black metal
I just discovered that community on Reddit a few weeks before the blackout, after I realized everybody on r/blackmetal was very defensive of their favorite Nazi bands.
It’s nice to have a community to find bm bands whose values align with mine, and whose music still reminds me that existence is bleak and meaningless /s
Yeah 🤘
My favorite music as of late is Sleep. Headphones recommended.
Recently I like me some classic Grand Magus.
Finally, my normal friends just can’t appreciate Bears!Dude if you haven’t already, check out Sleep’s other project OM. The first three albums are other worldly. Lots of meditative aspects to their music which I think works incredibly with the doom metal style droning guitars and slower tempo.
Sleep and (old) Grand Magus, heck yeah! What do you think of Electric Wizard, if I might ask? Dopethrone is the heaviest album of all time, in my unimportant opinion.
Doom metal, yeah I like it all
The pure heaviest album all time is, I think, Satan Worshipping Doom… Bongripper - Worship
It’s a good one for sure! I’ll put a link too in the hope of luring some more people in Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
Also, I forgot to mention Acoustic Wizard, the equally awesome EW cover band
