Can anyone reccomend some more stuff like Autopsy? I really dig that kinda slower death metal sound.

Check out Anatomia, Coffins, Mausoleum, Murder Squad, Swallowed and early Morbus Chron, early Fleshcrawl. Necrovorous, Repuked, Bonesaw, early Obliteration, Abscess, Living Decay, Bone Sickness, Herpes, Funereality.

Other slower stuff that isn't near Autopsy imitation but still excellent would be Incantation (definitely Diabolical Conquest), Asphyx (The Rack, Last One on Earth), and Crimson Relic.

Problem is, there's a lot that sounds like Autopsy, but just doesn't quite scratch the same itch.

The doomier Asphyx stuff may do it, but early Obituary is also in the vein. I wouldn't rule out some older Entombed or Dismember either.

Just got back in from Hellbash last night and it was loving amazing. Satanic Warmaster was the highlight for me, also Archgoat, Shitfucker, Demonic Christ and Black Death was amazing. Though it was a little hot, the venue was pretty sweet too. Sound was excellent and the lights were some of the coolest I've ever seen at a non-arena show. Good amount of people there but it was not hard to get up close even when most everyone was inside.

The hotel next to the fest was loving amazing too. They did not give a loving gently caress about anything. I mean it was horrible, but perfect for the fest. I read reviews of the hotel before going and I'd just see poo poo like "Bed bugs" "blood on the sheets at check in" and "manager cussed me out".

So I got there Thursday morning before the fest and if I didn't know any better, I would have had thought it had been abandoned for the past 5 years. There was broken glass in the parking lot and a "fountain" filled with beer cans and cigarette butts. Mind you, this was before anyone showed up. Inside this 8/9 story hotel and suite, it featured a full on dive bar with cheap beer and liquor which we obviously made into a metal bar. I felt like the Fresh Prince who found his cab.

But that was just the beginning, so many awesome and terrible things happened there, such as:

Heard stories about "checked in with no sheets on the bed" "house keeping left me a half a sprite and a half full ashtray"

People were pissing out the windows onto the street/ people smoking in the lot.

You could just go up to the desk and tell them you lost your key and tell them your room number and they would just give you the key without checking ID.

Kid staying there turned 21 on Saturday night. He was excited about getting carded for beer but then they never carded him.

Cut off time at the bar is apparently never

You could hear your neighbors puking and/or loving through the walls.

Some one got shot on Saturday night?? I was there but I don't remember or I had already passed before it happened.

I almost got hit in the head by someone throwing their alarm clock out the 8th floor of the hotel window.

I previewed some tracks and its some crappy bullshit. They need to gently caress off already, esp. since Hanneman died and he was the one who wrote all the good riffs anyways.

Someone put it good, "the new album sounds like what you write as a 12 year old and trying to make a "SLAYER RIFF"".

After listening to them a lot for the last few months, I have to say I really, really don't think Dir en Grey get enough credit among metal listeners. Their last 3 albums in particular have some really amazing songs. Anyone else here listen to them?

I mean I could say the same about Manilla Road's vocalist, who you like IIRC? I mean if we're talking about annoying, nasal falsettoes... Kyo's highs are certainly odd, but his vocal range is really, really impressive.

DEG have much more interesting aesthetic/atmosphere than Faith No More or Deftones for sure (in addition to a very distinct sense of melody), so I don't think they fall into the alt-metal camp. Think what you want though, I won't convince someone like you.

I just had some metal elitist chew me out for liking Butcher Babies. Is it wrong to like a band that according to the elitist "only made it based on sex appeal" and "has no talent worth merit"? I really don't care if a band has arbitrary "talent", hence why I can listen to newer metalcore/post-hardcore bands (A7X, Of Mice and Men, Falling in Reverse, etc.)

Avenged Sevenfold were a decently talented band, they were just too busy dickriding Guns 'n Roses and Metallica to do anything good.

However, that's a loaded and silly question, implying that the only valid reason to dislike those bands is because of a lack of talent.

They have good stuff here and there (e.g. "Afterlife, "Critical Acclaim"). I think BVB has put out better stuff than them as of late but eh, it's all subjective.

It's just kind of funny to see how seriously people take their music. Their way or the highway.

I listen to everything from Obituary to The Adicts to Smashing Pumpkins to loving Culture Beat. It's all good to me, man.

This is, in and of itself, a good goal though? Particularly since they've mostly dropped the harsh vocals that they were never good at.

If you like the hard rock that G'n'R and Metallica have done, it is, but I really really don't and I can't abide their hokey horror theme. If I'm going to listen to early '00s metalcore with a wanky guitarist it better be Protest the Hero or The Human Abstract :colbert:

The key to understanding harsh vocals is to not be a wimpy bitch imo

But in all seriousness if you can't understand the appeal (as opposed to just disliking them) then I'm not sure why you're listening to metal in the first place. If you're one of those people that likes the instrumentation of death metal but can't get past the vocals then you're really strange honestly.

Not too strange. It just means brutal death metal turns me off. If a band has good enough instrumentation I can just filter out the vocals, such as with At the Gates and Bolt Thrower.

I'm the same. I skim over most of the thread but still check it out because it's the closest active music thread to what I normally listen to. And the Ghost bickering, that's always entertaining.

I guess with the more melodic bands like that it makes sense (although Bolt Thrower would be really weird with singing). But people who hear a bunch of atonal, chaotic riffs and then get annoyed when the vocalist isn't singing strike me as people who don't actually like the music they claim to otherwise enjoy. Nobody should want to hear Bruce Dickinson over Immolation's music.

It's not a huge market, but you could argue bands like Nevermore and Satan's Host sort of cater(ed) to this mindset. I love me some growls and shrieks, but it's not that weird to me that there are people who love some elements of death metal but not others.

I don't know Satan's Host, but I don't hear death metal in Nevermore's music at all.

I was this way for a long time until some death vocals grew on me. It was pretty weird listening to old In Flames for the guitars and trying to ignore the singing. Or just barely enjoing My Apocalypse by Arch Enemy and avoiding the rest of their discography.

Come to think of it I should probably go back to doing that.

Their later stuff gets pretty dark and dissonant, and could easily be death metal with different vocals. I don't think growls would be out of place over a lot of the songs off Enemies of Reality or This Godless Endeavor.
