Death magnetic was so long in a way that felt manufactured, like "make the songs long" was a bullet point, something on a checklist to mark off, and as multimillionaire over the hill artists do, phoned it in by repeating riffs and the chorus where it's entirely uneceasary and the entire album really really really really suffers for it.

Lars is the only famous drummer that makes drumming look hard. He is really working at it in that video, for very little payoff.

Ronnie is unironically one of my favorite Metallica songs. Its the opposite of metal. Its hard-country or some poo poo but it rules

Weaponized Cum posted:May as well just dump the sequencers & faux bass modules, pick up a guitar, a bass & a drum set, & make some REAL dark Music. It's called Metal, & has many shades ranging from Thrash Metal to Melodic Death Metal to Satanic Death Metal to Black Metal to Blackened Death Metal to Ambient Metal to Grind to Industrial & many other sub-genres. Techno music is for fourth graders. The best metal music i've heard come out of the last year has actually been dark synthwave so I'm getting a kick out of an opinion that reeks of that weird & lovely territoriality that is almost completely dead outside of certain kinds of metalheads. Obviously music is subjective and my tastes clearly ain't yours, but its worth pointing out that just because you dont like a genre doesn't actually strip it of merit.

i didn't think they could write anything like this anymore. in fact i flatly don't believe they can gut feeling says somebody trained an ai on their first three/four albums like something feels off as gently caress about it but it kinda does rock. the lyrics are awful but there are okay songs under it. 80s b-side tier stuff

yeah no, like this isn't great. it's better than what i thought them capable of, which is why it's like "why does this sound off?" but my prediction is the entire album is gonna be a fairly sad pastiche of their prior work

Kalmah put out a new single that is pretty good. I thought Palo pretty much sucked, but the song, Haunted By Guilt, is pretty good. Kalmah are getting up there in years and they hit more often than they miss. pretty reliable for a metal band imo

Vintersorg posted:Groan of Wind is honestly one of the best metal songs ever written. That album was my first exposure to Kalmah, and it's a favorite, despite really not sounding anything like what came before or after. However my favorite songs are off of 12 Gauge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_-KFIbW12A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaAbnOO18hw e: but my favorite guitar solo in metal is on their first album. the rest of the song is kind of ehh, but the guitar solo that comes in around the 30sec mark is a loving banger. That's probably an exceptionally subjective assessment but I seriously think it transcendently loving rocks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07AqoB5H2bU Riot Bimbo fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Mar 8, 2023 |

glad im not the only one who thinks the new metallica album sounds like some AI-assisted poo poo Metallica writes music in a different, as yet unilluminated bad way. St. Anger/Frantic, or like Cyanide, that's what we should be hearing. That kind of bad. This is a different, way less authentic kind of bad.
