I have this thing in my head which is either a faint memory or a dream. In this memory/dream, I was reading blabbermouth about five years ago and I saw a split EP between four bands who all had comically similar names. It was something like, a warbringer/battlebringer/warcry/battlecry split. Did this happen? I hope this happened.

Nam Taf posted:With Oden On Our Side and Versus the World are their best albums. You misspelled "The Avenger" twice, are you drunk? But yeah, all Amon Amarth albums are a bit samey, they all have about two completely excellent tracks on them, and then a bunch that feel like filler.

Serbern posted:Yes, that too. I'm not very good at describing this stuff. I mean heavier riffs used as a kind of breakdown in a song, more often than not playing triplets in some way. The kick drum also helps a lot in achieving what I'm looking for. Try some bolt thrower. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9T5Zo3wnHw edit: also the style of drumming you dislike is a "blastbeat". 02-6611-0142-1 fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Jul 21, 2012 |

What are some more bands like Mgla and Taake that just do that kind of formulaic 90s norwegian stuff, but do it well? In both Mgla and Taake's case I really like the production, too. These days it feels like everybody wants to be DsO and all I want is to get drunk and listen to songs about forests and moons and fogs.

Hammer Floyd posted:Are you talking about the "Die" bit? I didn't notice anything... They always extend it out to five or six times the length of the album recording and talk over it and get the crowd to sing along, and it goes on a lot longer and it kind of takes all the impact out of that bit. Pet hate. The crowd would sing along correctly even if they didn't do it, and it would be a cool, badass little interlude.

Can you guys think of any music similar to Galaktikon or Ziltoid? I'm in the mood for some stupid sci-fi space laser poo poo, but I don't really know what I'm looking for I guess. Doesn't have to be metal.

Thanks for all the sci-fi recommendations, plenty of good stuff in there. I'm almost embarassed by how much I like Keldian. It's like Sonata Arctica with better pop sensibilities.

Hammer Floyd posted:If you were going to listen to Satyricon, you would listen to which album? First, Dark Medieval Times, The Shadowthrone and Nemesis Divina are all excellent black metal. Most people think Nemesis Divina is the best. Second, Rebel Extravaganza is a black metal/rock/noise hybrid that's pretty cool. Third, Volcano is pretty good in a kind of minimal rock way. Everything after is enjoyable but it sounds like a different band, and isn't on the same level as their early stuff.

Hammer Floyd posted:Cheers for the recommendations. I'll check out Dark Medieval Times because I've heard of that album before... Unfortunately they act like their first four albums (the ones that are good) don't exist. This would be an incredible concert: Walk the Path of Sorrow Dark Medieval Times Hvite Krists Dod Woods to Eternity Dominions of Satyricon Mother North Du Som Hater Gud Immortality Passion Sadly, this is what you will get: Fuel for Hatred Now, Diabolical K.I.N.G. A New Enemy Black Crow on a Tombstone Tro og Kraft Our World, It Rumbles Tonight Nekrohaven And then somewhere near the end they'll play Mother North as their one, lonely tribute to the fact that they were once amazing and relevant.

EoinCannon posted:Seeing Satyricon on a bill with Amon Amarth, Gwar and Black Dahlia murder next week in Melbourne. Last time I saw them was years ago, not sure what to expect this time round, not a fan of the newer albums so much but Satyr is a weirdo these days so I'm hoping he does something weird to entertain me. I saw them somewhere around 2006 and they played a 50% old stuff and 50% new stuff and I had the time of my life. I saw them again in maybe 2010 or so, and they played 95% new stuff.

I heard Babymetal for the first time today, am I the only one that thinks it doesn't actually sound very different from your by-the-numbers metalcore/melodeth grey area crossover band? If the voices were a slightly lower pitch I doubt I would be able to tell the difference.

I like dinky folk metal 80% unironically. I was exposed to a lot of european folk music as a kid and I don't have trouble taking it seriously, so it's like a blend of ancient war music with modern war music. Trollfest are obviously a joke, but there are a couple of Finntroll albums I can listen to with near-complete seriousness. Is this weird? Tangent: I feel like I'm going to die if I don't get to listen to the new Anaal Nathrakh soon.

Arkona are my jam and if you like folky stuff you should definitely check out the album Goi, Rode, Goi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgXlUxDGFvU I just caught up on ten pages or something and I'm convinced that VarDovoli is actually an alt account made by one of you. Maybe I've just been separated from the bad parts of the internet for too long and I've forgotten how bad people are, though.

Something goes wrong, the main character Krighsu awakens from cryosleep, and he escapes the destruction of the universe to attempt to recreate humanity using the data stored in his brain. It's all very Wouldn't machines be better supercomputers than lovely human brains? It's kind of the same problem as The Matrix. You could get more power out of yeast than human beings.

but I love it when bands go all-out on concept like that, especially when their sound reflects their aesthetic and narrative.

Lamb of God are the new Pantera in the way that matters most. If I witness five fat racist pieces of whitetrash abusing an Indian guy on a train loudly and relentlessly for being foreign late at night, they used to wear all be wearing Pantera shirts. Now they're all wearing Lamb of God shirts.

The hardest grey area are those bands that write some dodgy racist lyrics when they're young and then grow out of it, and it hangs around as a smear on their record forever.

El Gallinero Gros posted:This makes me sad for 2 reasons: It wasn't my intention to accuse either band of racism. They just accidentally appeal to a sort of casually racist bogan crowd who want to be perceived as listening to tough-guy-music, and it's very accessible stuff so it's widespread. Also, I witnessed the scene I described about five or six years ago, and it's been stuck in my head ever since. It was one of those bystander effect moments, I was way outnumbered but I wanted to intervene, so I was trying to get eye contact going with a couple of big dudes near me but everybody was avoiding eye contact with everybody else, ugh

I liked using the term "post-black metal" to describe all those bands like Ulver who started out metal and then went flying off sideways into weirdness, but now people use that term to describe burzum clones who have a little shoegaze mixed in, so I don't think it applies anymore

Forgive me if I've been beaten to the punch on this, I don't read this thread much, but Batushka is blowing me away right now. It's black metal with a little bit of a doom vibe, heavily mixing in a lot of gregorian (?) chant. Has the chanty vibe of Si Monumentum but in a simpler, more fun way. Fun is perhaps the wrong word. It's great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUhBykAA0D8
