Looks like Sam Dunn is doing another Metal Evolution series called Metal Evolution - Albums. He's going through various influential / under rated albums. Looks to be pretty much more of what he does. A bunch of interviews, etc. First episode is on TV right now, featuring on At the Gates- Slaughter of the Soul What do you guys think of his previous output? I've always enjoyed his films and tv shows. A good beginner's guide to metal. Something I can show to my parents and say "See, this is what it's about. No I'm not going to grow out of it. And yes, it is actually a valid form of music, not just noise."

How old are you that you still have to explain your music to your parents I haven't done that in at least 25 years.

My dad grew up listening to stuff like AC/DC and Iron Maiden and his CD collection was what started my obsession with metal. He even had long hair like me when he was my age (18) and I like to joke with him that I have enough hair for the both of us now.

Especially coming from a guy who is a musician, and major classical and rock music nerd. It strikes me as straight up willful ignorance. That's all really secondary to what I was interested in though. What's your views on Sam Dunn's output, and are you looking forward to his new series?

I like my long time method of not talking about or listening to metal around people who don't care about the genre. Keeps me sane.

A human heart posted:It sounds like a bunch of different bands randomly thrown together by spastic circus clowns. Very few bands pull off that eclectic style while retaining cohesion. Unexpect are one of the only ones I can get into, and even then it took me a while, but this song is just brilliant. Never too quirky, and the surreal atmosphere is gorgeous, especially at around 2:10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBDvDBuLKEY Also, Megalomaniac Trees contains the best power metal riff ever, at about 2:58 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC_Ha1PieLI I recall not liking Pryapisme. Chiptune and metal really don't go together, like, 99.5% of the time. Gamma Nerd fucked around with this message at 03:37 on Dec 25, 2015 |

I've never gotten the same dyanmicism of Unexpect from Devin. Even the stuff on Deconstruction tends to stay in the same key throughout the piece and is built on one riff, without much hopping around time signatures. Unexpect are also way more dissonant than Devin - the riff in this song is basically a Gorguts riff with a more neoclassical resolution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMsu1PJHei4 This is also one of their more structurally straightforward songs - there's an A section up until about ;40, then a B section until 1:10, then C until 1:40, at which point the sequence repeats - after that you have a bridge built on the first few themes before it returns to A at 5:45.

Optimum Gulps posted:Pryapisme are great - they're like an amalgamation of lots of weird prog bands that touch occasionally dabble in metal, like mIRTHKON, Sebkha-Chott, Polkadot Cadaver, and the bands you mentioned. That said, I want to be friends with Friend 2. Anyone who likes Koenjihyakkei is cool with me!

Yeah, as much as I enjoy more modern metal, there's no equivalent of the 90s progressive/experimental scene in terms of sheer weirdness. And it's the kind of weirdness that gives the music an otherworldly mystique. Supuration/SUP are a personal favorite artist for this reason, their stuff is delightfully trippy.

Oh, I don't mean Mr. Bungle or the Norwegian bands like Solefald (though Fleurety and Ved Buens Ende are pretty good examples of the sort of experimentalism I'm talking about). I mean, like, Timeghoul, Afflicted, Phlebotomized, early Atrocity, Wicked Innocence, Dark Millennium, Dreadnot, Minas Tirith, Traumatic Voyage, O.L.D., Windham Hell, Disaffected, Phantasmagory... it's the sort of experimentalism with a slight outsider quality. Modern experimental metal tends to be more of a throwback or reference to that stuff in some way, like Cosmic Atrophy and all the post-Gorguts bands.

I mean, I don't know how old you are, and really who gives a poo poo, it was kind of a joke post anyway, but at the same time I do remember being 15 years old and trying to justify Metallica and Emperor to my parents and well... it ends the way you'd expect. In fact I probably came off too much like a dick in that post where I was just trying to make a silly age joke, and for that I apologize.

On his facebook they said it was an extremely aggressive form of cancer. I'm willing the bet his health problems the last year or so was due to it and he never got it checked out.
