^^^^ While I may not have the largest background in crust punk, I think an exception could be made since crust and grindcore are so closely linked together these days. As mentioned above, you've got bands like Rotten Sound, Mumakil, and Trap Them really doing it right by blending the two elements together. Even though the grindcore is still more prevalent in their music, you can't deny that there are quite a few passages that follows the crust formula, as well. It seems that a lot of modern bands are really beginning to incorporate the two styles and continue to blur the lines between them. Actually, now that I think about it, crust isn't metal. But, that isn't to say that there aren't metal bands that incorporate crust into their music, so I guess you could talk about crust-infused grind and so-forth in this thread.BSchlang posted:And no good albums of the year? Protest the Hero, Leprous, And So I Watch You From Afar, Sylosis, and Unearth have all put out sweet albums There have been some good albums put out this year, but none that would be considered "great" and be contender for Album of the Year or whatever arbitrary poo poo people argue about. Not to mention, those bands are the best you can offer when trying to defend this year? You are doing it wrong. Very, very wrong. The only album that could have been contender for Album of the Year was the latest Napalm Death that was slated for this coming October, but alas, it was pushed back to February '12, instead. Now, to bring it back to good music for a second, there was a five-way split released this year under the name of "Split Torso Trauma" and it featured two tracks each by Antropofagus, Prion, Mass Infection, Putridity, and Infected Flesh. It is definitely for fans of the usual Unique Leader-styled brutal death metal bands and is quite enjoyable. I'd say Antropofagus, Putridity, and Prion are my favorite portions of the split. attackmole posted:e: i'm stupid I would also like to recommend that you check out "Darker Handcraft" by Trap Them. That album is just pissed off from beginning to end, as long as you like a bit of d-beat mixed in with your grindcore/crust. A TURGID FATSO fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Aug 29, 2011 |

Sgt. Slobber posted:Alright, Misfits don't count, whatever. They're only the band that was a huge influence on Metallica, but who cares? And the newer Misfits stuff is even better than their old stuff. What the hell does this have to do with the Misfits not being metal? No need to get all butthurt about it because they don't fit in this thread. Nobody is taking away what the Misfits have contributed to music as a whole. Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf are huge inspirations to lots of metal musicians, but guess what? They aren't metal. Am I taking away their achievements to the world of music? Hell no. They are incredibly talented individuals and enjoyable to listen to. They just aren't metal. quote:Anyway, this is the Metal Thread, not the Cookie-Monster-Vox-ONLY Thread, so can we maybe talk at least a little about some bands for those of us who aren't as tr00 kvlt as the rest of you? Well, holy poo poo, I guess it's our fault for discussing music that the majority of posters in this and previous threads listen to and enjoy rather than rehashing the same bands (even if they're good) over and over again. If you can't deal with the harsh vocals that a lot of these bands that we're discussing at the moment have, then bow out and don't whine about it. quote:I just got into metal about a year ago, and my favorite bands are Metallica, Anthrax, Sonata Arctica, Iron Maiden, a7x, Ozzy, Buckethead, and Dethklok (just because it's funny). What else might I like / got any good recommendations for me? Definitely check out Judas Priest as they basically fit every band you listed. Rob Halford is a God, and the mans pipes are still just as awesome as they were decades ago. Nuclear Assault would work perfectly with your mention of Anthrax, too; "Handle With Care" is my favorite album of theirs. For Dethklok recommendations, I would definitely say check out At the Gates, Amon Amarth, The Crown, Satariel, Canopy, Vehemence, and a lot of other melodic death metal bands that I'm missing off of the top of my head.

I don't think they're my type of band, based on a quick YouTubing, but if they're as good live as you say they are it won't be too horrible, at least. I'm in the group that says it isn't worth it. The times I've seen them they were beyond boring, but then again I really don't like their music, so maybe I'm a bit biased. Also their fans are the loving worst. I had to punch one of them in the face because he kept losing his balance and slamming into me while I was in the back of the crowd. gently caress him and gently caress that lousy band.

This track slays like Immolation always does. So stoked to see them on Friday, with Jungle Rot and Gigan as support. vvvvv I'll admit that it doesn't hold up to my usual standards for Immolation, but I dug the track. As for simplistic breakdowns like that, they have done it in the past and it hasn't affected the songs negatively, and I didn't think it did in this track, either. They went for a more straight-forward style, but the Immolation riffing was certainly there. A TURGID FATSO fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Oct 8, 2011 |

Femme by Force posted:No one. Music isn't a competition. Having just watched Gigan absolutely destroy last night, I'd say they win. Gojira is pretty sweet, too. But until I see them live, Gigan is the champion. I went and saw the Gigan, Jungle Rot, and Immolation tour last night and god drat was that a fun show. Every band that showed up (including the local support) was awesome and spot-on. I think Gigan really stole the show, as they played about four songs back-to-back simultaneously and just went nuts. Plus they came out with this electromagnetic antenna that would make this flying saucer-like squeeling noise whenever something would come within range of it and incorporated that and a sampler into their set. It was quite something to behold. If you get a chance to see Gigan or Immolation, seriously, go see them. Plus you get three free EPs from Immolation, Wormrot and Enslaved. Can't go wrong with that.

RHTITE posted:Every single Metal scene ever has been largely fueled by competition. That's how the Slayers, Morbid Angels, Darkthrones, etc all became the trend setters in their eras and genres. They rose above their peers by making better music and being chosen by their scenes and the traders. That's why Slayer became the legends and Attitude Adjustment didn't. It's only natural to measure yourself up against others and try to exceed them, especially in a group setting filled with teenaged and young adult males. You are aware that there are bands who do not care about any type of commercial success or being trend setters, right? Not everything has to be in the context of "we're better" or "you're worse". To me, that takes away the entire spirit of heavy metal as a whole, anyway. It was meant to be a rebellion against the mainstream, especially grindcore with how it has taken a stance with it being "anti-music" in some respects. Not everything needs to be a competition. Can't a group of people get together and play some tunes with another group of people who do the same thing and not have to say "we're better than you"? The answer is yes. Will you see those bands on Headbangers Ball and on the cover of Revolver? No. Also, does anybody have a clue why iTunes is recommending Disturbed to me because I like Exhumed? Those two aren't even comparable other than they both play instruments and can breathe. A TURGID FATSO fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Oct 15, 2011 |

"Djent" is a fictional sub-genre that somehow co-opted a lot of technical/progressive metal bands, but most of the bands who claim to be "djent" don't know how to write interesting song structures and just weedily-weedily-blooop their way through an album and that's about it. I don't give a poo poo if it sounds like a guitar note, it is still dumb as hell. You also forgot a section for Czech Republic experimental goregrind and pornogrind/cybergrind.

Gr31lly posted:FFS. I've always enjoyed the fact these threads never had an OP of "goon recommended" lists because all lists to do with metal (including the one being made) are always composed of absolute poo poo. You are never, ever in a million years going to be able to make people even agree on what "entry-level" metal is. It is especially useless when trying to provide "labels" to specific bands, particularly those that we know have contributed very much in terms of musical influence to their respective sub-genres as a whole. Maybe it's just me, but I have found it is so much better to discover and correctly label bands on your own, that way you do not already have some idiotic pre-conceived notion of an album being something that it absolutely isn't. Sure, maybe give a couple very general bands to start off with, but nothing more than that, otherwise we begin to attach our own dumb subjective thoughts to anything we recommend. Really, the world of heavy metal is so loving large that it feels like an absolute waste being told what you should like. Go explore on your own, it is ridiculously fun.

Gr31lly pretty much nailed it all, but to add another band who just has that feel to them would be Funebrarum. The only difference here is that they have a little more doom and slower structured death metal mixed in with that chainsaw buzz. Their entire discography is pretty stellar, but if you're looking for more fast-paced material like the song I linked, then check out their album "The Sleep Of Morbid Dreams". "Beneath The Columns Of Abandoned Gods" is a great album, but it might be a bit slower than what you're looking for. The split Funebrarum did with Interment is also pretty great on both sides, so definitely check that out if you can. Another band would be Putrevore, which has Rogga Johansson on guitar and bass and Dave Rotten from Avulsed on vocals. Their album "Morphed From Deadbreath" absolutely crushes in a simplistic Swedish death metal style.

Just get really high and listen to every record Deicide made before the Hoffman brothers left, and hopefully you'll have an awesome hallucination of seeing the classic line-up "live". Deicide since 2004 have pretty much been unbearable. But, I have hope that Amon is going to at least go back to the mid-to-late '90s era of Deicide. They just released a single titled "Among Us" last month and while it may not be exactly what I was hoping for, it is definitely a step in the right direction compared to what Deicide has been pumping out for the past few albums. It seems like a decent mixture of Vital Remains, Angelcorpse, and Deicide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaulENrW290 A TURGID FATSO fucked around with this message at 07:30 on Dec 7, 2011 |

Attention grindcore lovers: Vicious Bastard released their debut album, "Post Abortion Lust," last month and it is insanely good. It's basically the grind portions from Anaal Nathrakh's last few albums and concentrated into a violent frenzy that spans fourteen tracks and just over twenty-four minutes. It also has appearances by Dave Hunt and Mark "Barney" Greenway. it's a ridiculously good U.K. grind album, and I suggest you check it out.

2011 has been a pretty good year for death metal and grindcore. Some of my favorite albums have been from Abnormity, Vallenfyre, Analdicktion, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Vicious Abortion, Rotten Sound, Maruta, Noisear, Indecent Excision, Vomitory, Condemned, Carnivorous Voracity, Krisiun, Bestial Inquisitor, and Brutal Truth. Here's to hoping that Napalm Death, Terrorizer, and Umbral Torturer keep the trend going in the new year. However, I couldn't fine a good thrash album this year. By all accounts I should be a Warbringer fan, but all their material has just left me flaccid. Megadeth and Anthrax put out boring albums, which was expected. Are there any unknown thrash acts I may be overlooking who put out a quality release this year? I want Dark Angel to make another "Darkness Descends", god damnit! The only thing that still really bums me out is that Seth Putnam is dead and Morbid Angel continues to make new music. A TURGID FATSO fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Dec 23, 2011 |

CmdrSmirnoff posted:I'm a little surprised that nobody is mentioning Origin's Entity, which is probably the only 2011 release I consistently go back to (I guess Symphony X was pretty good too). Sure, they didn't develop their sound much over Antithesis, but it's infinitely more enjoyable than the majority of technical death metal out there. I'm pretty sure I listed this earlier (if not then I'm an idiot), but yeah, it was an incredible album, especially it was only recorded with Paul Ryan, Mike Flores and John Longstreth. There's tons of amazing vocal layering, and even hearing (I assume) Mike Flores performing guttural back-ups just really floored me because I never expected to hear those in an Origin song. Both Paul and Mike have really ramped up their technical prowess and it still blows me away. "Saligia" will never leave any of my playlists; it is the "Ubiquitos," "Portal," "Disease Called Man," and "Staring From The Abyss" of "Entity".

At the risk of sounding like an rear end for self-promotion, the website me and a couple other goons contribute to, Metal Blast, are trying to get a very wide variety of reviews, band interviews, and show reviews out there. I specifically created a monthly feature where I would explore demos, EPs, and splits of relatively unknown bands just for that exact same reason, but believe it or not, there are some real gems that can be found. Speaking of which, we are in great need of more contributors of all walks of life. Right now we're based in the Netherlands, United States, and South America. Things are beginning to pick up a bit more as we're getting more contacts, and hopefully things keep going upward for us.
