Good death metal everyone should enjoy: https://calcemia.bandcamp.com/album/the-unburning-flame

When listening to new music, do you all pull the lyrics up at the same time? Just listen to the music and vocals but not know what the song is about? Pull up lyrics the second time you're listening?

I just never bother to read the lyrics. The song about Lady Mondegreen is better that way.

Most lyrics are bad so not reading them makes the music much more enjoyable.

I don't give a poo poo about lyrics in metal usually. They're so dumb most of the time.

Most of the time I don't pay lyrics much mind, apart from the odd line that stands out one way or another. On rare occasions though I'll come across a song where the lyrics manage to claw their way into my consciousness, and actually make a good song even better. Notable examples are Embrace of the Endless Ocean by Amon Amarth and The Desperate Poet by Wuthering Heights.

I listen to a lot of trad and power, so lyrics stand out in those genres more than say, death metal. I agree with the above take as well- bad lyrics (unless they're next level bad) I don't pay much mind to, but great lyrics can enhance an already good experience. Bonus points for bands that vary wildly from the cheesiest poo poo ever to the best poo poo ever lyrically (looking at you, D666).

Huh okay so when you all say you love the vocals, you're just talking about the sound, not the words. Interesting!

Sometimes there’s an awesome chorus or verse that you can hear perfectly and it’s fine. Other times when I’ve actually read lyrics to a song I liked it immediately made me stop liking the song. Usually I won’t seek out lyrics and I’m content to just treat the vocals like another instrument. And there are definitely certain vocal styles I gravitate towards.

I only even pay attention to the words if they are really cool or I'm trying to learn it. Growls especially are more about style and delivery than what's actually being said.

It's all about the riffs to me. People discuss drumsound and stuff, but I don't even hear it when the drummer sounds like if he's smashing his penis on a plastic box or using a real drumset when the riffs are blowing my mind

I would be content to only listen to instrumental music, but there isn't much of that around.  Granted, metal vocals these days are so unintelligible they might as well be a dead tree instrument so we're basically there already.

Do we count Travis Ryan as intelligible, because I have definitely seen people singing along with Cattle Decapitation. Personally I think the only song I know all the words to is Manufactured Extinct and the only parts I have difficulty with are those weird melodic highs that sound like somebody taught Gollum to sing.

Ehhh Johan Hegg has been making that "we want everyone to sing along on this next one, and don't worry if you don't know the words. It's death metal, and no one can tell the difference" joke for at least a decade now so you're probably clear to sing along if you want.

Lifeglug posted:Like, this is unintelligible, but holy gently caress the sound of them vocals. "Postmortal Coprophagia" on Molesting the Decapitated is completely unintelligible except for the word "coprophagia" somewhere in the middle of the song. It's this weird raspy shout that is clear as day and completely out of step with the rest of Ruben's usual toilet gurgles. The first time I heard it, it surprised me so much that I just started laughing my rear end off. It's not a bad song by any means, it's just a hilariously weird surprise to have that one intelligible word in the middle.

Johan Hegg is one of death metal's most intelligible vocalists, though. Like if you can't make out Amon Amarth lyrics you're either entirely new to the genre or not paying attention.

I installed Musixmatch on my phone and laptop because I'm hopeless at picking up lyrics by ear, and it bums me out when I can't sing along at shows. When I use to buy CDs I'd read along with the lyrics booklet

I didn't realize until recently he was a member of Gath Šmânê (https://gathsmane.bandcamp.com/releases); their tape was one of the best death metal things I've heard in a while. I really hope they do more stuff but it doesn't seem like they're very active.

I just picked up a purple Levis vest that I’m going to use for the stoner doom stuff but I’m going to need at least two more if I have any hope of even using half the patches I’ve hoarded. Thinking about a Milwaukee Leather for one of em.

I got it off eBay but looking at the tag it says Comune. The listing just had it as "Comune Men's Black Denim Jean Jacket Long Sleeve" E: Looks like it was a skate company - doesn't seem to be in business anymore. E: I am going to keep the Aquabats logo hehe - prob gonna take off the Iron Maiden guitar one though. The Aquabats show as so goddamn fun - Batcommander jumped into the pit and I got to jump around with him arm on arm. Vintersorg fucked around with this message at 17:55 on Aug 7, 2019 |

I know I mainly do death metal posting these days, but since it is summer I have gone back to another of my metal loves. US 80s metal featuring dudes with insane pipes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUrapZKLye8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF55rys6Vdc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVFLFQ1b95A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdCwdfjMqHg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9M_4aW-RUo (I'm extremely sad that these guys never released an album and that the vocalist seems to have completely disappeared after the band broke up) MrBling fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Aug 7, 2019 |
