Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Mastodon- The Motherload. Now this is metal. The guitarist and drummer are from Rochester as well. like to see local guys make it. Not a big fan of them, they have a lot a weird stuff and aren't heavy enough for me. Blood and thunder was good.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Like Metallica's version better who sings the song? when I listened to it on youtube it just said NWOBM, which I thought was a style. Holocaust is the band name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I've gotten hooked on Mastodon. Their quirky progressive-metal sound is right up my alley. Take for instance: I mean, really? Snorting wood chips? Light-up titties? SIGN ME UP. Edited February 20, 2015 by joesixpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swnybillsfan Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 not the heaviest band, not the heaviest song, but i like it quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Anyone know Sabaton? They seem to base their songs on military history. I'm not convinced of the music, but anyone who writes a song about the 7th Panzer Division can't be too bad.

Wow sounds like glam rock meets Dream theather, better luck next time not the heaviest band, not the heaviest song, but i like it quite a bit. not bad, plus having Napalm Death frontman Mark Greenway guest vocals doesn't hurt.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Old school Death Metal still the best, here is a classic from English death band Bolt thrower. the 7th song Ritual has heavy opening riffs . "They formed in 1986 and released their first album with Vinyl Solution in 1988. The band then shifted to a new record label, Earache Records, soon becoming one of the best selling bands on that label. Their current label is Metal Blade Records. The band has had a succession of members and have toured Europe, the United States, and Australia. The band takes its name from a weapon in the popular tabletop strategy game Warhammer Fantasy Battle." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolt_Thrower https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0Y3iSKOeJk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although if a band has something to say then understanding is nice which is why I like Hatebreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people feel like you do. I don't mind if a vocalist uses a voice like that occasionally, but like with rap, if there's no melody in the vocal part, then it's just rhythm. Metal used to have some of the best vocalists outside of opera - singers like Ian Gillan, Dio, Rob Halford, (and if you consider them to be from metal bands) Robert Plant, David Byron, David Coverdale, etc. Since the old days of metal, the level of musicianship among the instrumentalists has begun to approach virtuosity, but instead of exploiting an entire range of melodic potential by actually singing, most metal vocalists today are falling over each other to sound exactly the same as each other; ie like they're some kind of dark lord that just walked straight out of a Diablo game. It is a matter of taste though. That's why I've all but stopped listening to metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not Dream Theater anymore. There's a lot of good progressive stuff out there, but a lot of it's a bit 'mathy' for my tastes - I'm not a big fan of odd time signatures. I find that what I listen to tends to influence my writing a lot, so more than anything lately I tend to listen to classical music. It's very dynamic, melodic, and incorporates themes, which I like a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsShredder83 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Wish it hadnt taken me this long to see this thread! BB ive seen impending doom live, they rule. Lead vocalist is a super down to earth dude, talked to me for a while at the show. Saw Dying fetus live this summer at Rapids Theatre and wow they did not dissappoint! I see you like Dfetus amd MiseryIndex, makes sense, alot of the same guys in both bands. If you like old school death, and swedish death youd love Bloodbath. Make sure you check them out.
