I would say Slayer's a good starter band if you're looking to get into metal.

"Black metal" and "death metal" meant something very different in 1985 than they do these days. Regardless of what they were referred to as, a lot of extreme thrash, darker heavy and speed metal, and generally any metal which deviated into dark themes was really quite different in the mid-80s. While the styles became fully formed and entirely deviant by the mid-90s, it's understandable why bands like Slayer and Venom are sometimes referred to as death and black metal. Hell Awaits and Black Metal were huge steps in the transformations of those styles. But hey, even killer heavy/speed metal from 1984 drops the phrase "black metal" and Running Wild loving rules. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G1OKn3aCHg In short, listen to "Gates to Purgatory" and "Hell Awaits" and scream louder.

Gorewar posted:Apparently Massacre are no longer clients of Eric Greif, after guitarist Rick Rozz posted a facebook status trashing the Death To All tour, while they were on the tour. From Beyond rules but goddamn that's stupid. I feel bad for the rest of the band. On the topic of Slayer: Show No Mercy rules all their other stuff is boring except the only two songs on Reign in Blood anyone gives a poo poo about.

So I'm normally not big on prog metal, but Haken's album The Mountain has totally blown me away today. Cockroach King and Pareidolia in particular stand out for me, but truthfully this is the first time in awhile where I enjoyed just sitting and soaking in an entire album from start to finish. Where do I go with prog metal from here? I've listened to almost nothing like this before so I'm open to any albums presenting a similar sound. I probably should expand my progressive death metal explorations beyond just Opeth, too, I guess. No idea where to start there either.

Yes. This band owns and they have a fair degree of variety between their albums too, which is cool. Also, if you don't mind something more in the Sikth/Protest the Hero vein, Destrage released a pretty enjoyable album this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4TO-LqP_Cs

Those are all good choices. I think that Jolly is in the same vein, although it's pretty much progressive rock. Still good though. edit: a lot of those artists are on Inside Out Music. I'm going to check all of those out! karms fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Dec 9, 2014 |

Disillusion - Back to Times of Splendor Augury - Fragmentary Evidence Phlebotomized - Immense Intense Suspense Cormorant - Dwellings And two bands that aren't death metal at all (although frankly I don't consider Opeth a DM band) but I think Opeth fans should like: Orphaned Land (specifically Mabool) and maudlin of the Well.

^That Disillusion album is absolutely fantastic. Never been able to get into their other records though. Not prog, but a friend of mine turned me onto this album today, and I'm hooked. https://seprevation.bandcamp.com/ Pro click if you like old school death/thrash.

Gentle Giant are the poo poo and everyone should listen to them.Henchman of Santa posted:Edge of Sanity - Crimson (and Purgatory Afterglow, although that's more of a straightforward DM album) Seconding these. Also obligatory prog death albums IMO: Atheist - Unquestionable Presence Supuration - The Cube Timeghoul - Full discography Martyr - Feeding the Abscess Lykathea Aflame - Elvenefris And Stargazer and Mitochondrion, if they count - I'd consider Parasignosis prog metal in the sense that it's heavily DSO-influenced, at least. And if someone is an Opeth fan, they owe it to themselves to listen to the first Ne Obliviscaris album. Gamma Nerd fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Dec 9, 2014 |

You folks are amazing, thanks for all these recommendations! Gonna spend a lot of time on YouTube later checking all these. Followed shortly by spending a bunch of money I don't have on more albums, no doubt. As an update to my earlier post, I also just listened to Haken's Restoration EP and thoroughly enjoyed that too. Fiendish Dr. Wu posted:And I just listened to all 3 of their albums from start to finish. I should thank thorsilver for reminding me to listen to them again. Glad to be of service  Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely give Leprous a listen tonight.Gamma Nerd posted:Gentle Giant are the poo poo and everyone should listen to them. Thanks for the prog death recommendations guys! Looking forward to checking all these out too. Also, someone recommended Gorguts which was a good call as I loved their 2013 effort. I'll definitely check Cynic too.

If you liked Colored Sands, check out Baring Teeth's new album, Ghost Chorus Among Old Ruins. It and the new Stargazer are some of the best metal I've heard from this year.

If you like what you've heard of Gorguts and you haven't listened to Obscura yet (the album, not the band), you need to re-prioritize.

Just how bad is In Flames now? I live in a fantasy world where their latest album was Colony. And it's mediocre at best. The Jester Race is where it's at. Whoracle too. I haven't heard anything newer, but I will, Monday night, when I see them in Atlanta at the Opeth show. Will it make me sad and angry if I pay attention to the In Flames set?

Pretend it's a different band. If you liked Colony, you will probably like Clayman, but it's going to be very hit-or-miss (mostly miss) for everything afterwards.

When I saw In Flames I honestly felt like they were Evanescence with harsh vocals. That was six years ago, and by all accounts they've gotten worse since. It's why I was not at all bummed about missing Opeth last week.

In Mourning is pretty obviously and heavily influenced by Opeth and their last album is still one of my favorites 2 years after it came out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-G7Ro1pwpQ Also Crimson II is the superior Crimson album from Edge of Sanity.

I still love DT, one of my favorites to see live. But it is true, their new poo poo is, well, poo poo. I've been meaning to check out In Mourning. There's so much good stuff out there, I've just been too stubborn to discover anything new in the past, oh, 10-15 years. I need to get over myself.

While Rick Rozz and Kam Lee are legends for their involvement in the development of death metal in its infancy, their interviews as well as stuff that I've read about them suggests that neither of them are the sharpest knives in the drawer.
