My Amon Amart recommendation is to just take one song and put it on repeat and then spend your money on other albums that don't all sound the same.

Gils posted:So to continue this, if I like the last 5 albums by Amon Amarth what other sorts of music should I get into. I don't really listen to any other growling bands, but something about them just clicks 100% with me. I'm otherwise a huge fan of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, which aren't exactly the same sort of music. What are your feelings on vocals that are more shouty than growly?

Bent Willy posted:Everyone with the Bathory boners... this is *not* me bagging Varg's contribution to metal, or the quality of his music at all. All great stuff, but it needs to be remembered half of the reason for the praise heaped on Bathory is the the *context* in which the music was made. There was nothing of it's ilk before. This is one of the biggest reasons Bathory love has been perpetuated through the ranks of black metal fans. It's a sub-cultural acknowledgement of the roots of the whole genre, and thus calling out "how loving good is Bathory" is like saying "yeah man, I was there from the start." What does Varg have to do with Bathory?

That is a terrible point to be making though. Sad Wings of Destiny is still a fantastic album. Well written music is good no matter how old it is. If you don't like it, that's fine, that's just personal taste but I don't really hold with your assertion that metal now is better than metal then.

Any of you guys into the whole "rare, collectible" side of the business happen to know if the original Osmose digipak version of Necromantia's Scarlet Evil Witching Black is particularly rare? Reason I ask is that I came across an ebay auction asking $250 for it which seemed pretty excessive.

fappenmeister posted:Only around 1000 copies were made of that version. Hell, if it were a choice of buying that digi or the atrocious new artwork, which would you pick? It's time to listen to Scarlet Witching Dreams as loud as possible! Yeah, but $250? I'm pretty sure i traded a couple of crappy cds for the one i have and i even got the original pressing ancient pride mcd as well. I suppose I've just never thought of metal cds as being worth lots of money.

fappenmeister posted:Before a lot of reissues for the more 'cult' bands, people would pay ridiculous amounts for some albums. I'd try and sell a few Trouble and dISEMBOWELMENT releases I had duplicates of, to try and get my money back ($10), and they'd go for over $50 sometimes. Some cases where you'd see cds reach obscene figures, but you'd usually equate vinyl as the more valuable format though where people paid upwards of the hundreds. I dont think its rare but I dont think its a digipak either, I could be remembering wrong though.

I think the main reason people oppose experimenting in death/black metal is that while (for the most part) the band doing it is very good at the metal bit they usually aren't terribly good at whatever they're experimenting with.

Who is hating? At best you'll find people (at least here in the thread) who will argue the merits of their various albums but always at least like one of them. Like, I think Reign in Blood is completely overrated but the stuff before it is really good.

I haven't ever heard any of their songs but I just like the little "(feat. Vinnie Paul)" label that would always follow the HELLYEAH name. No idea if they still do that, but whenever people say hellyeah I can always quickly go "feat. vinnie paul" and then laugh like a maniac.

Night of the Stormrider is an ok album, but the stuff that followed just isn't something I can get into. That's mostly because I can't stand Barlows vocals though.

Is there any new death metal about that uses the late 80s/early 90s shouty vocals rather than the bass rumble? Preferably also good death metal, while we're at it. On an unrelated note, I loaded up my phone with tons of old thrash and death metal recently just to change things up and Death Strike loving rules.
