I've definitely seen goons talk about Lik many times before, and I have no idea why I'm only listening to them now. This loving rips. I also have a soft spot for Demonical when it comes to Swedeath: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_IN_CR5SGM

Anyone watch the Metallica 40th anniversary show on Amazon prime last night? I’m always a sucker for their live shows, even if James’ voice is shot to hell and they’re barely a shell of what they used to be. They played Fixxxer live for the first time ever I think and was pretty cool. But I think the most hilarious thing is they didn’t play an encore for like maybe the first time in multiple decades? It was super awkward and jarring to have them just peace out. There’s another show on Sunday being streamed as well.

New Khemmis was good, liked what I heard of the new Archspire, new First Fragment was a lot of fun, and that Steel Bearing Hand was good poo poo. Surprised nobody’s mentioned the Crypt Sermon/Horrendous side gig, The Silver. Unless that was last year? Anyway, Ward of Roses is the album and it’s p. Good.

Nearly everything I liked this year was slam or brutal death and as much as I enjoyed it, I can't in good conscience pretend that it's not mostly the same.

Hook me up with your list. Slam / Brutal Death was pretty much all I listened to this year as well, and I always like to compare lists with others, see if I missed out on anything cool.

I've always thought Fixxxer was hugely underrated, glad to see it getting some love. Shame James's vocals aren't what they used to be - this song has a lot of potential live. I think the Load/Reload stuff suits them better these days. Maybe I'm partial, as I had those on cassette back in high school and have never hated them, and honestly sometimes even prefer them to some of the RtL/MoP stuff. edit for video, just pretend it's like a video napster feed that I'm sharing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pomof-US2zg

Unironically think early 90s Metallica vocs were probably the best ones, despite the other issues with that period of their output. I do sorta draw the line at Reload, but Load was one of the albums that cracked me open to heavy poo poo, so I can’t hate it for that. Puppets followed soon after and obviously teenaged me was like wtf is Load anyway, but adult me appreciates the gateway aspect, even if I’ve not listened to that poo poo in years. What were your gateway bands, goons? That poo poo that made child you go hoooooooly gently caress I didn’t know music could get this heavy? E: To answer my own loving question, Puppets made me realize metal existed, but Cowboys From Hell really destroyed me. The high vocs, the crushing Primal Concrete Sledge, and duh, the guitar antics that Dime laid down on that. gently caress. Chaos A.D. set me up for digging stuff with a punky edge, and Demanufacture was the first album I’d heard with legit frantic double bass. Weird to think on now cause I only really jam old Sep, and largely don’t listen to much Pantera, Metallica, or Fear Factory anymore. unattended spaghetti fucked around with this message at 20:04 on Dec 20, 2021 |

'Twas the autumn of 1988, I entered high school (yes I'm old, shut up). Randomly checked out this new tape from a band called "Metallica". Had a couple new classmates who were already into that stuff, so over the next few weeks I got to know Iron Maiden, Slayer, Testament and some others. Next summer I borrowed an LP called "Blood Fire Death". That was pretty mindblowing at the time. (Hints of scary occultism and maybe some rumours of backwards-masked messages? Nuh uh; straight up Satan, y'all.)

Gateways are all over the place. I think White Zombie turned me onto heavy metal. Then a friend showing me Cannibal Corpse got me onto death vox. Cradle of Filth got me into more extreme music. And finally In Flames introduced me to Swedish death metal.

My gateways were the Edward the Great Iron Maiden compilation and Rust in Peace. From there I got pretty heavily into Bodom and Sonata Arctica, and then a kid on my bus told me to limewire Bathory and Dissection. I then spent all of highschool obsessed with melodeath and meloblack, and I guess still am.

Pretty sure I've explained my pathway several times here, but: Childhood: My neighbor would always play Rob/White Zombie and 90s Metallica. I was scared of the samples in Rob Zombie songs but I liked the music. Age 11-12: Got into hard rock like Led Zeppelin Age 12-13: Discovered Master of Puppets and it blew my mind apart Age 13-14: Got into Atheist and Death The rest is history. I think Demilich was the final frontier in terms of harsh vocals.

I’ve talked about how Metallica was huge to me in middle school, but years later I think it was anime music videos that got me into the Finnish symphonic metal I love now. I wish I could remember the specifics, but there was like a Nightwish/phantom of the opera anime video that was the catalyst. Wow, that is super dorky lol. Then I stumbled upon the Beauty and the Beast duet Tarja did with Tony Kakko and I’ve been in love with Tony ever since  Later on, Wintersun became a huge gateway for me because I found the harsh vocals very primal and beautiful and now I love melodeath.

The actual most formative music document to me is VH1’s 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. Dunno when I would’ve gotten into 90s alt stuff and beyond without it.

Hearing "Duality" in a Youtube video circa 2009 blew my mind, and after getting into Maiden and Metallica, I got my hands on a copy of Ian Christe's Sound of the Beast in 9th grade and that was that.

I have two older brothers, so I was fed Helloween, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath/Ozzy, DIO and so forth growing up in the late 80s/early 90s. Then my brother started listening to Gorefest and Cannibal Corpse and I followed. In our small town in Norway there was a record store that had WAY more metal than a small record store in the countryside should reasonably be expected to have, and I got into Satyricon, Isengard, Darkthrone, Mayhem, Vintersorg and so forth via that store and have just kind of kept listening to metal all my life. That said: looking for suggestions for trad/heavy/"conan" metal. I've been listening to a lot of trad lately, but am looking for more. I really like the early Manowar albums, think pre-Fighting the world. And I've been listening A LOT to Eternal Champion, Sumerlands, Dexter Ward, Ironflame, Warlord, Visigoth, Megaton Sword and that style of metal. Anybody have any suggestions? Not talking european style power metal like Gamma Ray/Helloween, but more the American type. Also, I tried getting into Cirith Ungol, I just couldn't get used to the vocals.
