To Battle posted:The Deathfest in Maryland this year doesn't seem to interest me that much, also I didn't realize the guys who organize it started expanding to California as well, thats pretty dope I guess if your not on the East Coast. Speaking of Deathfest,  They are replacing Thulcandra, who had to cancel due to visa issues.

Because I man-lust for Falconer and was trying to find stuff closer to their style, I ended up stumbling on King of Asgard (they share a drummer and have the singer and bass player from Mithotyn as well, I think), and holy gently caress I am hooked. http://youtu.be/ONcF4GDiSUI HEIMDALL, BLOW THE GJALLARHOOOOOOOOOOORN!!

There's a Wuthering Heights line that goes something to the effect of "Children of the sun grow up and get burned". I laugh every time I hear that verse. I don't know why it cracks me up so much.

COOL CORN posted:I'm liking the new Amon Amarth album a lot more than I thought I would, but phew that song with Doro is terrible. Yeah I think I liked it a lot on first listen just because it's Doro. As for vocals / lyrics, Hegg's vocals have more range in this album, but that also means I can understand the lyrics more which isn't always good.

On the subject of lyrics, how would you react to a band that's intense like perhaps Cryptopsy, or a band that's techy like perhaps Necrophagist, having lyrics that are completely camp or goofy/funny? I was trying to think of examples and I just can't. I can for material that's more punk, or grind, or slammy, but not for more intense material. I wonder if it would be accepted?

I've always thought that Johan had pretty great diction for death metal vocals, to the point where I typically understand what he's saying on round one. The only person doing that style vocals that comes to mind as maybe clearer is Karl from Bolt Thrower. The Doro song is pretty dire though, yeah. First time I heard it I was listening to the vinyl, so I could not skip

I've been listening to a lot of Paul Chain recently and one of the cool things about him is that he doesn't have any lyrics, he sings in this weird phonetic language that sometimes results in recognisable words and sometimes doesn't.

NarkyBark posted:On the subject of lyrics, how would you react to a band that's intense like perhaps Cryptopsy, or a band that's techy like perhaps Necrophagist, having lyrics that are completely camp or goofy/funny? Slugdge's lyrics are about stuff like humanity's forever war against giant immortal space slugs. Does that qualify? Also Cannabis Corpse, who are actually kind of similar to Slugdge in that their lyrics ape the whole "jumble of badass-sounding SAT words" old-school death metal style, except they're about weed or space slugs instead of demons or murder. They also both make music that's way, way better than anything with that kind of gimmick has any right to be. Oh and also Ghoul, although musically they're a bit far from what you described. Lyrics are awesomely goofy as gently caress though. Hulk Krogan fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Mar 31, 2016 |

Dethklok is the only one and I can think of and that doesn't qualify as "intense" or "serious" by anyone's measure. The lyrics are comedy though, it an attempt at it.

Incoherence posted:You can sing complete nonsense using actual English words, too; The Mars Volta is an obvious example. Some of TMV's lyrics actually make sense, in the sense that they're evoking surreal/grotesque imagery related to the narrative of the album.

DEAR RICHARD posted:No life til leather First time I heard this I thought it was get some rear end tonight and was convinced for years that Metallica was a band comprised of very angry gay men. Since I was living in an incredibly tiny town at the time the only bit of Metallica history I knew was that the guy from Megadeth got kicked out but didn't know why so I logically assumed that it was because he wasn't angrily gay enough. Like he was just miffed gay while the rest of the band was out for blood gay so he had to go.

Friends, if you're looking for "irony" or "self-awareness" in metal lyrics then I really don't think the problem is with the lyrics.

The problem with comedy in music is most of the time either the comedy or the music is pretty lame. Often both. Crotchduster's one of the rare examples where it works, since half the joke comes from all the musical references.
