A TURGID FATSO posted:I'm a very big fan of when songs start off with a skank beat followed by some bass lines before everything starts going off the rails. I'm going to follow up with a real safe opinion and say that Phobophile is basically a perfect song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbSPRpwZPbs You have the ominous piano intro followed by the rising whine as the bass line leads you into the main riff. And then that first slower riff after the first verse is just so evil sounding. Flo Mounier is a loving machine, and Lord Worm's vocals are so good, so varied, from the basic unintelligible growl to inhuman screeching and evil toilet noises. Also apparently Cryptopsy is good again. The self-titled album ditched the clean vocals and synths and it's really a return to form. I'm not crazy about the guitar tone, but it's Cryptopsy being Cryptopsy instead of trying to overcomplicate metalcore. It's got that "barely restrained chaos" feel of early Cryptopsy with a bit of the polish of the Mike DiSalvo era. Matt's vocal style is much closer to Mike DiSalvo than Lord Worm. The return of Jon Levasseur can't hurt either. venus de lmao fucked around with this message at 03:36 on Nov 20, 2017 |

None So Vile warped my young brain, primarily because of Phobophile. I didn’t know what the gently caress to do with my discovery of Cryptopsy. At the time I was a moody metalhead guitar nerd teen trying to explore all the spookiest heaviest death metal and I swear it took me years to process how heavy that era of Cryptopsy was. The feel of NSV is tight but everything sounds organic, violent, disgusting. It’s such a loving unique sound.

Seriously I've got the self-titled playing on Spotify right now and I'm loving it. Matt McGachy definitely has a hard-edged crispness to his vocals that are sort of similar to hardcore screaming, but there's a lot of variation to it and it's very well suited to tech death. It's not a screamo vocalist trying to do death metal, this guy's voice fits the music.

But maybe I'm weird, I loved the Mike DiSalvo albums too. In fact as far as I am concerned the only bad Cryptopsy album was The Unspoken King.

Whisper Supremacy is pretty good and ...And Then You'll Beg isn't actively bad, just really forgettable. They're just regular tech death albums with a shouty vocalist that seems out of place (so kind of like Martyr but not as good). Nobody can beat Lord Worm for sheer extremity so I'm kind of glad they didn't try to match NSV musically with a different vocalist.

Are there any metal bands that do the same thing The Ink Spots did, start every single song with the exact same chords? EDIT: On a tangentially related note, anyone know of any good metal covers of some golden oldies, in the vein of Blind Guardian's Mr. Sandman and Dream a Little Dream of Me?

yeah phobophile is a near-perfect dm song and definitely the best song cryptopsy ever wrote. also that little slap bass part before the breakdown in "slit your guts" is almost too good.

Several years ago I asked for metal recommendations from an old internet friend who sent me a lengthy list. I remember three tracks specifically: Phobophile, Night's Blood by Dissection, and Girl in the Slayer Jacket by Pig Destroyer

Klaaz posted:5. Archspire - Relentless Mutation I didn't know Tech N9ne had a metal project. I can't really get into the music enough to stick with it, but I'd love to hear those vocals over something groovier. Edit: I'm going to have to sit down and listen to that Emptiness album though, the couple of tracks I checked out sound really interesting. I can't quite decide if I like Dool, they're kind of generic (and obviously not suited for this thread) but they have a nice atmosphere. Reminds me of the kind of thing I used to listen to before I got more into metal. il_cornuto fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Nov 20, 2017 |

Pulses of Pleasure had the song Fast, Loud and Rude, which was pretty sick, but the rest of the album was underwhelming, Really glad that Feed Me Violence stepped up their game.

I'm not too sure of the exact details but apparently the dude who runs Barbarian Wrath is in a coma and the outlook's not good. It's a shame because he releases good stuff and is obviously dedicated to what he does.
