The metal thread

[Cosmic Gerbil]

I had a look in the music section and I couldn't find a general metal thread, so I thought I would make one

[Garmy]

So you Said you were Listening to Slayer


My fav album by them must be this one


sends titel song


Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss

[Cosmic Gerbil]

Lol, that's got to be an old one...Kerry King has hair there


I do like Seasons in the Abyss but I think Christ Illusion is my fave Slayer album cos that was the first one I bought of theirs

[NJMike]

Like all kinds of metal really, mostly death and black, but I don't really like thrash, heavy and power.

I like Xasthur, Lifelover, Animals As Leaders, Blut aus Nord, Shining, The Axis of Perdition, Burzum, Darkspace, Rotting Christ, Akercocke, Portal, Incantation, Deathspell Omega, ChthoniC, ColdWorld and so forth.

If you want a more in-depth look into it all, check out my Last.FM page here.

And I'll just leave a random awesome song to give this post some meat.

(Note: This is not the full song; the full song is one hour long.)

Trist - Hin

[Cosmic Gerbil]

A hour long   Wow, that's huge!  It must fill up a whole CD, lol xD  It is an awesome song though (well the part I have heard, lol).


I have a Last FM too...is it OK if I send you an add?



I love Blut aus Nord   My fave CD by them is MoRT...I think it is really good even though it's different from their usual style.


I must find out how to post YouTube vids, then I can post some of the vids I like too

Heh.

Sure; go ahead.

They are my fourth favorite band, but I think I may like Deathspell Omega just the same -- they sound pretty similar, as if they are brother bands. Even from the same country.

MoRT was an interesting album, and I agree it definitely was a bit different from their usual stuff. I liked it because its drums were really cool sounding, and the music in general as well. Not sure why a lot of people hate it, because I think it's pretty cool.

To post a video, all you need to do is just copy the YouTube URL, and post it in here.


Here is a Deathspell Omega song, see if you can agree with me that it sounds like Blut aus Nord a little:

Deathspell Omega - Abscission

[Garmy]

Deathspell Omega is great  but so are meny other french black metal bands,Like Seth and Anteaus.


But Right Now I am more in the Russian and Balkan scene of Pagan black metal and NS Blackmetal like these bands


Branikald- Burning All The Bridges Behind Myself


FOREST - By The Flame in Our Veins


Ygg - YGG


Nitberg - Nagelreid (2)

[Cosmic Gerbil]

Yeah, I like Deathspell Omega   Just listened to Forest; they are great too


Longcat, I added you on Last FM, cheers   Thanks for telling me about the YouTubes too.  I hope this works:


Vital remains - Scorned (Evil Death Live)

[Garmy]

Yeah that might be true Longcat, that Deathspell Omega and Blut Aus Nord do sound the same now, but were is the Long dead Atmosphere that they had in this album Ultima, it was such a great Album and all,Its quite sad,but it was also realy old scholl.


Blut Aus Nord-Till' i perceive bifrost

[NJMike]

Yeah that might be true Longcat, that Deathspell Omega and Blut Aus Nord do sound the same now, but were is the Long dead Atmosphere that they had in this album Ultima, it was such a great Album and all,Its quite sad,but it was also realy old scholl.


Blut Aus Nord-Till' i perceive bifrost

Ultima was actually my least favorite album from them, but I did like Memoria Vetusta I: Fathers of the Icy Age.

If you guys like BaN, then perhaps you should check out The Eye, which is Vindsval's side project. It sounds like BaN's Ultima and Memoria Vetusta I, except re-mastered and heavily-atmospheric. It sounds reeeeeaaally nice.

The Eye - Your Wickedness... (Bastard Son Of Fear)

I also randomly checked out that Forest song, wow it sounds cool. I'll have to look into it

[Garmy]

Sonds great so far smiles atmospheric and all I like.


but right now I am more to Branikald, Only 4 albums left, then I have them all, hard to get to, only 500 copies and 1000 of each album, so I hope ill get them all.


Ah The Eye have split to.

[Cosmic Gerbil]

I like The Eye very much   Parts of it remind me a little of the computer games I used to play on as a kid


Wow, that is rare Garmurin   I hope that you can get them.

[MiltoniusPrime]

I'm a fan of metal, but by no means a metalfur.  There's too much good stuff out there to only listen to metal (or only electronica, or only rock).  I'm more a heavy/classic metal fan, not really into newer bands like Avenged Sevenfold or Bullet for My Vallentine.  I'll dabble in a variety of metal sub-genres, but I generally prefer to stick with clean vocals.

Brocas Helm - Cry of the Banshee (Lyrics in Description)

^ Quite possibly my favorite metal song.

Black Sabbath - Sabbra Cadabra

^ Favorite Sabbath track.

Motorhead - Love me Like a Reptile

^ Durhur, animal reference = furry.

[Cosmic Gerbil]

Ah, some good old school bands there   I hadn't heard Brocas Helm before...they are really good   I listen mostly to metal but I do also listen to other kinds of music too (lol, mainly classical and dark ambient and stuff) xD 


Here is another vid I like


Rhapsody of Fire - Emerald Sword (video)

[Aloneness]

I use to be into metal with Children of Bodom but then I kinda grew our of it I like Techno more now
