And you know, I'm actually starting to take a perverse liking to Nazgul. Guess I shouldn't have ripped on them so badly because now I look like a jackass.

Those vocals were so horrible, fuck I pity you right now. Also, lost my AIM when I reformatted my comp.

Shadows of the Sun. I've listened to it three times and I'm just not feeling the dark incredible sadness that everyone is talking about.

I thought about it and if you've listened to Solefald yet, their harsh vocals are similar in a way. Kind of screechy, which I can enjoy in the right context.

Ghey.

That sucks. This album really sucks me in. Great music.

Ghey.

Just thought you might be wondering where I was.

I love Solefald harsh vocals :).
Especially the really cold ones like on Queen in the Bay of Smoke.

I've been trying to stay away from avant-garde stuff, but it keeps popping up. The only stuff like that I have is Ulver and Vintersorg.

Avant-Garde Metal isn't that weird or wild. Its not much different from Progressive. Its just, different Progressive, less cliché, more interesting in some cases and such.

I've never listened to Lamb of God in depth

Even so, I can't see how they're very close to sounding like Pantera.

I hope that shitty ToT song you were talking about was either This Dying Soul or Honor Thy Father.

I associate both bands with boring chugging riffs and gay vocals.

Is that so? :O

Yes.
Avant Garde doesn't necessary mean weird and mental.
There are cases, obviously, but bands you'll be introduced to in this thread won't be those cases.
Unless Patton is involved.

Jesu is pretty good. They're one of only 2 shoegaze bands I've checked out so far, the other being Alcest. I liked both.

Also, I'm not about to defend Pantera, but Cowboys From Hell and Power Metal were good albums. The rest, though.......no.

Yeah, the original starred Carlos Gallarda, who played a different role in Desperado. He was either Campo or Quino. I can't remember which. And I think he was a producer for Once Upon a Time in Mexico.

I'm a serious movie buff...

Really, almost every Ulver album is good. I just didn't like Teachings in Silence. It was boring and went nowhere. Other than that, it's all good, though the vocals in Nattens Madrigal are irritating.

I might need your help again Sensey, I've been having trouble getting a specific album by Sigh.

I can do that. I have all of their albums. Every one of them is good, too. :)

The only Solefald album that has vocals that bug me is the Linear Scaffold. That high pitched shrieking is difficult to endure.

Also, I really really hope there's a new Solefald album in the works. I'm dying here!

AVANT-GARDE IS THE BEST.

The only stuff like that I have is Ulver and Vintersorg.

I don't see how Vintersorg is avant-garde. His stuff is fantastic, but I think it's really just progressive with folk elements.

Actually, some of it is pretty weird, but yeah.

Also, I've seen no discussion of Fleurety here. You guys should check them out already. >:(

I got Shadows of the Sun before and I've listened, and liked, so I'm tempted to check these out too :).

Examples? I've not really come across anything as weird as say... Moonchild :P.

I have Min Tid Skal Komme, and I started listening, but stopped cause I wasn't in the mood for Metal.
But I thought it sounded cool. Not what I was expecting from the album cover.

That's a good one, too.

Unexpect is pretty weird and so is Fantômas. Kayo Dot can get kinda strange. The song Hustler by Virus is pretty strange due to guest vocalist Øyvind Hægeland's weird singing in that song. He doesn't sing like he does in Spiral Architect. The Peccatum album, Strangling From Within is also a bit weird, at least as I recall. It's been a while since I listened to it, though I own the album. When you have over 200 CDs (some with more than one album on them) some of your CDs don't get as much attention as they should.

Really, now that I think of it, most avant-garde bands at least have their moments of strangeness, whether it's weird noises or melodies that just sound different. I think that some of us here are already used to music that's sort of different. I've shown my friends some avant-garde stuff that put funny looks on their faces.

which cover? There's more than one for that album.

Also, finish the album already. It's great. And you should get Department of Apocalyptic Affairs. It's really good.

I wouldn't called Kayo Dot weird, the other two definately, but I've already excused Fantômas :P.

Well, thats the point isn't it. Being unique and different.
You might have a point about it being close to what people have listened to. Maybe I just don't see it cause I find it all fascinating, even the wacky shit Patton spawns.
I'm gonna let you have this one :).

Just a black and white of some guy.
Looks poorly done, like the sort of thing you'd expect from some really shit BM band.

this? I have a different one. It has a weird looking face. I can't figure it out beyond that. Both album covers confuse me.

Yeah, but Fleurety certainly isn't shit. IT's awesome stuff. It would be great if they did another album, but I doubt that'll happen.

Not at all, I very much so imagine you do too.
I was merely speaking for myself against people who don't listen to Avant-Garde :).

I have the weird looking face one... its not as bad as I thought, I must have been thinking of that one.
Its awful after all.

i was gone and now i'm back

i got three albums when i was gone, two were metal: Sigh's Gallows Gallery and Agalloch's Ashes Against the Grain

I wanna be, where the people are.
I wanna see, wanna see them dancing.
Walking around on those... what do you call them?... Oh, feet.

Ariel's voice is sexy :).

And José González's version of Heartbeats is incredible :).
I've been listening to those two songs on repeat all night.

I feel so gay for immediately recognizing that.

At least I have an excuse. My sister watched that just about every chance she had when we were children.

Here is my two-cents.

Well not necessarily. I could fuck her normally if she were in human form.

But I wouldn't mind a blowjob.
