In my teens I enjoyed some nu-metal and near-metal a lot (Korn, AIC, Soundgarden, Tool) and even got into bands playing those things, but I couldn't stand classic metal, it just sounded either corny or total noise.

I still can't stand stuff like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. They sound like fags to me, especially the vocals.

One of my favorite bands from a long time though is Type O Negative, which I suppose is proper metal (unlike those nu and near metal) but to this day I can't find anything that resembles them. Candlemass is cool, but not as cool.

Lately however I had a "revelation" of classic trash metal - for some reason it hit home and I have been consuming the stuff relentlessly. My first concert was Ozzfest cause I wanted to see Tool (fun fact: it was the first Ozzfest without Ozzy, cause he got sick). I remember seeing Slayer playing just before them and being like 'wtf is this, just give me some transcendental hard rock Tool!'. But now I get it. Megadeth and Metallica especially are now added to favourite bands. Period.

This song is a gem among many gems:

[Once Was Not]

I'm on a cut as well godfather dust. God dethroned is a blackened death metal band so that explains the edgy name. Was never really into them until the newer sound/direction they've gone in on the last three albums. Good shit though. At the Gates is solid as well. Still haven't checked out their newer stuff.

[godfather dust]

Favorite Cannibal Corpse song

[Once Was Not]

While I'm thinking about it, does anyone, and I know it's a longshot, does anyone know of any good Italian metal/death metal bands? I am a big fan of Hour of Penance and Fleshgod Apocalypse but I've got no idea outside those two bands. I wonder if these guys are anomalies or if the scene there is this strong.

Girls react to extreme metal:

[Once Was Not]

Imagine not knowing who Metallica is, wow. But yeah you can't just throw someone in the deep end with Cannibal Corpse. I think my path was disturbed>slipknot>bullet for my valentine>unearth> and then I really branched out.

I actually had an ex that was into metal or at least -core music. Almost a certainty I'll never hit the lottery like that ever again, sucks. It's hard enough to find girls who still listen to rock or even just music with instruments.

I remember going to an Electric Wizard concert and seeing a pretty girl with a Neurosis t-shirt but those are rare sights.

Yeah you don't go to metal concerts to get laid, you go to be violent with less chance of an assault charge (as far as I'm concerned.)

I don't really go anymore because I'd feel like a scumbag beating up on kids. And the last couple I went to were had a lot of fucking faggots (metalgate is real.)

Edit: to clarify, by "be violent" I'm talking about mosh pit not sucker punching people etc.

[godfather dust]

Crazeist show I went to was hatebreed. Dude either dove or was thrown off the balcony/upper deck at the worcester paladium (25 feet or so.) There was mob violence (people wearing colors jumping people) and at the end of the night me and my bros were chilling outside and saw at least 3 people carried out on stretchers.

Off my favorite recent death metal album, Korpse - Unethical (2016)

I've always liked death metal with tempo changes (super fast to super slow) as long as it doesn't devolve into death metal-core.

I think Suffocation may have been the first to do this style.

[godfather dust]

I like this guy's metal songs, basically death metal but understandable lyrics.

Also like the guy screaming "bring the motherfuckin ruckus" (36 chambers reference)

[godfather dust]

[godfather dust]

Incredible guitars

Arguably the best metal song ever...there's a 1998 remastered version that I blast it in my car every other day!

[Mr. D]

Fuckin' Canada, man...

[Once Was Not]

Good week if you're a death metal fan. New Bloodbath, Hate Eternal, Cryptopsy (EP), and Unleashed.

Their best album in my opinion.


Reading this thread brought some memories back. Here you are; stuff I used to listen to when I was a 12 yo kid:

[Meliorare93]

lol didn't know there was a band with that name

More US metal. Tim Ripper Owens and Jon Schaffer, doing the best Iced Earth work since "Something Wicked".

Just thought about this track while I was at the gym this morning, got myself psyched up to bust out a final set of shoulder presses to the epic crescendo after 27:00, then was absolutely bloody irate to see the album has dropped off Spotify. WTF is that? Those three tracks off The Glorious Burden should be played like a movie day in every high school American History course.

Actually set this up for my father to hear a few years back. He dropped out of rock music to get involved in church right at the height of the Black Sabbath "Doom Rock" days. After it was over he just looked at me and said "I didn't know anybody was still making stuff like that".

Declaration Day wasn't bad, either.

[Oberrheiner]

I don't remember seeing this here, one-man melodic death metal band from finland :

[godfather dust]

Slam death metal with catchy riffs

That song is a fucking killer! Hearing Tim Ripper Owens blasting it out, with his MAGA voice, live is fucking amazing! To me, this song represents what it means to be American.
"We'll bring King George down to his knees,
*High pitched vocals* Capitulatiooooon!"

Iced Earth have so many good albuns, with many different vocalists. Jon Schaeffer is clearly the heart of the band and he clearly bleeds red white and blue.
Also recommend Alive in Athens, clearly one of my top 3 live metal albuns

What about some old school Testament?

Or new school Testament?

Chuck Billy does not sound like a fag for sure.

Or some German fast heavy, but not-so-thrash metal?

And back to USA, with some killer thrash albuns (video limit per post reached)
