Rob Halford could be naked and covered in chocolate syrup and still be more metal than any of us.

Behemoth the other night was loving amazing. Some of the songs on the new album I was a little iffy about, but seeing them live really sealed the deal for me. Unbelievable.

I saw them Friday and feel exactly the same. I went from being about 50/50 on the new album to listening to it on repeat. Behemoth slays live.

Re: Discovery chat, did anyone else use Audiogalaxy a lot? I found some of my enduring faves (Blind Guardian, Stormwarrior, to name two) because it had a whole ‘bands that sound like the band you’re looking at’ system

I used Audiogalaxy, and it's how I found Kyuss. Thanks for covering Demon Cleaner, Tool, because it led me down a rabbit hole that I really never made it out of. Also Motorhead got me to Sepultura because of Orgasmatron :hellyeah:

It did put me off on the Melvins for a long time though, because I just downloaded a few random songs and didn't land on any of the accessible ones.

Good thing was trading albums was a thing and I got to trade off those which I did not like or was bored of.

I member, I couldn't understand brutal death back then so I traded a Homo Iratus album for Triumph of Steel by manowar, and that's how I started listening to manowar. I was a small kid gimme a break

In absentia Dei... :black101: Also on the subject of Behemoth, Demigod is finally on Spotify. I don't know when it was added but I just noticed it the other day. Now if they could just get the first five albums up. I actually saw them do "Pure Evil and Hate" live once.

Thursday was my first time hearing "Daimonos" live, too. gently caress, that song is great.

It was re-mastered, not re-mixed. I remember hearing that re-mixing was basically impossible because Lars' drums were edited so much that the tape degraded to an unusable state.

I picked this up last night and have been listening to it today at work. It is indeed heavy. As I was telling a friend of mine, they are not the best band ever or anything, but the music is super headbangable and I like that they cross multiple metal genres, sometimes within the same song.

Yeah, I can't hate nu-metal because Limp Bizkit and Korn were my gateway to metal and then my buddy loaned me the black album in high school and I was hooked. Plus metal in general has meant a lot to kids who didn't feel like they belonged anywhere else and that is extremely important for anyone, but especially for a teenage kid who doesn't feel like he matters to anyone else. You matter to your metal brothers and sisters, you have a community that understands what it's like to feel like an outcast. It sounds corny, but metal changed my life for the better.
I still say Korn had a legit good first album, but the problem was that their debut was so cathartic that everything afterward kept trying and failing to recapture the raw angst that got people's attention. By the time the 3rd album rolls around, they've "got the life" and they're blowing up luxury sportscars in their videos. No thanks. I always considered Limp Bizkit too douchebroey, and Linkin Park was over the top cliche angst. But Deftones got unfairly lumped in with nu metal despite starting as pretty much a hardcore band that became something very different later. Slipknot, though I never got into them musically, I have to admit they have great stage presence. They headlined a tour with SoaD and Rammstein opening, and I mostly went to see Rammstein shoot fire at each other (because who the gently caress doesn't want to see that). But after the openers were done I stuck around, left the pit and found a seat, and was actually fairly impressed. Slipknot knows how to put on a good live show, even if I'm not into their material.

Weirdly enough, when Kyuss first came along I didn't give them a chance because for whatever reason I thought they were a hair metal band. They came along right at the tail end of the pre-grunge Headbanger's Ball era, so their videos were always wedged between peak glam bullshit, and I think I confused them with a hair metal band with a similar name. Several years later a friend of mine had one of their CDs and I commented on it, so she corrected my assumption and made me listen to it immediately. I was never happier to be wrong.

My gateways to metal were long before (Black Sabbath, AC/DC and Metallica, I'm old) but I'll still defend the first two Korn albums as noteworthy even if not particularly breathtaking. I'm with you on Limp Bizkit (they did have three pretty good songs, though). Linkin Park took a while but the Thousand Suns record is a very different animal from CRAWLING IN MY SKIIIIINNNN - it's one of the few diamonds in the nu-metal wasteland... probably because there isn't actually much nu-metal on it.

Slipknot was something I wrote off as silly/stupid, until Vol. 3 got my attention, and I loving love All Hope Is Gone.

Oh, nu metal wasn't nearly my gateway either, just something I brushed up against in high school when I was a grunge kid. My gateway to metal was Twisted Sister. I LOVED We're Not Gonna Take It and I Wanna Rock when I was like 6 years old. A grade school friend of mine had a metalhead older brother with a record collection (Ozzy, Scorpions, Ratt, early Crue, etc).

The only reason I was aware of Korn was because I got two free 2-track promo cassettes at an indie record store a few months before their first album came out. One was Korn, and it had Blind and Clown as the A/B-sides. The other tape was Season to Risk with Mine Eyes and Jack Frost. I don't know if anyone remembers them, but they were pretty decent. The singer used a CB radio mic.
