I called it.

Anyway, if Pantera, Disturbed, and SOAD are your thing, then check out DevilDriver or In Flames.

those bands are cool

btw I also like stuff like this

Meh... obviously you aren't really into "metal music"...

your more into Nu-Metal (Slipknot,SOAD)

at least Pantera fits in... but you'll need to find some other bands... or just join the Nu-Metal crew.

Missed Cynic due to drinking and bonding with this stranger, well he's a friend of my best mate (from his Uni) and he was joining us. My best friend decided not to come due to toothache and I was late due to a train delay so yeah, didn't absorb Cynic's set much. Sounded good, just wished I'd paid more attention.

And Opeth were Opeth. Mik is always funny, the band are always flawless. The set was better than the last 2 times I saw them, which was nice. But when you've seen them play When, Demon of the Fall, Windowpane, Blackwater Park, amoung others in the same set you can't really top it... unless they decide to play the Moor for once >:(!
It was a strong set and was good listening.

I'm also becoming very jaded of seeing them live. Fifth time, third this year, I'd like to say that I'd skip the next tour but I know I won't. Seeing them has become something I just do. But yeah, second best performance I've seen from them.

meh im looking for something EXTREME! Something new to listen to.

Imogen Heap.
It's EXTREMEly good.

I would like to know your opinion guys on those two bands

Illnath

Benighted

I would like to know what you guys think about those bands, and also how you would classify them.

I'd say that Illnath is pretty good, with great melodies, especially with all the piano combined with tremolo picking riffs on the guitar, and really nice bass lines. I think they should be classified as Symphonic Black Metal

I think that Benighted is fucking awesome. I first heard of em because of the breakdowns in the song that I linked you to. Then I realised that they were singing in french, which is my first language, and they also do stuff in english. I think that their riffs are fucking brutal and well-built. The vocalist is greant and the rythmic parts are awesome, both bass and drums. Just listen to the final part of the song ! I would classify them as Brutal Death Metal.

So, you tell me what you think guys :)

Um. Yeah. You are. Because melodeath is commercial shit, and you're a young idiot with no musical fucking taste at all. You might as well be listening to Rihanna, douchebag.

lol, if u say so dude. But i dont see the problem with melodeath? wtf is wrong with it?

try something a bit tamer:

ensiferum
wintersun
kalmah
norther
tyr
angra
stratovarius
dream theater
symphony x
dragonland

sorry i don't have handydandy links, just check them out on youtube or something.

Awesome stuff. I dont give a shit what penisclown says melodeath is awesome.

Benighted are awesome on of my favourite Brutal Death Metal bands. Their riffs are so catchy and heavy.

Fucking awesome !!
Do you have any other band you could recommend me ? Something that would sound like Benighted, cause I've never really been into Brutal Death, but this one is really my favorite. I do like some stuff by Cryptopsy though.

Other than this, what's the big thing with melodic death ?
I heard PenisClown was complainning about it...
can't say why...
I know they are far more commercial than other underground bands... but it's pretty nice to ear a combination of heavy stuff with nice melodies... just listen to Arch Enemy !!! And I'm not just talking about their most recent stuff, I'm talking about their whole discography, it's just fucking awesome !
Go buy Stigmata, it's really worth it, fucking awesome melodeath.

Yeah it's not bad, I'm still kind of impartial to it.
I'd probably called them Melodic Black Metal over Symphonic. Both genres are very close though.

Kronos and Emeth (especially the new album) come to mind. But they are pretty unique, Benighted.

Yea arch enemy is awesome. Everyone likes angelina gossow nowadays but i prefer the old vocalist whatever his name was, Bridge of destiny was the most epic song they ever made.

I don't really like much metal with a shitload of screaming and growling.

I like some of older metal like Judas Priest. Breaking the law rocks.

HOLY SHIT JUDAS PRIEST IS AWESOME WHY DIDNT I FIND THIS OUT EARLIER

listen to power metal

Hey all, I'm back from London. While I was there, I got a few CDs, which are:

Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God
Falconer - Falconer
Finntroll - Nattfodd (about time) along with Trollhammaren EP
Sonata Arctica - Silence

I would have got a few more CDs, but sadly, most of the CDs on my want list were either not in the shops or costed £15 or more, so they had to take a miss this time around. However, I'll see about getting more after Christmas.

Also, to those who recommended me Amon Amarth albums, while I only got their latest album, I'd like to thank you all for getting me motivated to buying one of their albums, which I'm enjoying a lot so far. :D

Ah right, that's a song to look forward to. Too bad I didn't see Hammerheart in London. Oh well, I can always get it online at anytime.

Wrong. I think you'll find it's And Then There Was Silence.

You know, I may have disagreed with you in the past, but now I can't deny the awesomeness of And Then There Was Silence. Seriously, while I was listening to music on the coach trip to London last Friday, I was loving the song more than I did before. Infact, I consider the chorus of that song the greatest I've heard in metal.

God, I'm such a weirdo at times!

Most certainly. Without this place, there'd have been several metal bands I'd have never discovered in my entire life, so I really owe it to the Metal Hell to keeping my interest in metal strong as well as finding more stuff.

Amazon?

is it just me or does Judas Priest sound better live than on CD

Devil Doll is awesome and you should all give The Girl Who Was Death a listen. Here's a sample.

I think it's one of the best albums of all time.

I thought it was okay.

And I got Octavarium and it was shit.

I thought it was pretty good.

And I got Systematic Chaos and it was pretty shit.

never listened. not really nterested.

Also, I used to have Sic Degrees of Inner Turbulence. I listened to it a bit and decided to delete it.

It isn't bad by any means. Much stronger overall than anything since Metropolis, Pt 2.

Thursday = Skip school to snowboard.
Friday = AC/DC !! FOR FUCKING FREE!
Saturday = 3 inches of blood

Best week ever? I THINK SO

I got around to listening to Necrophagist.

Most of you know that I'm not really much of a death guy, but shit, this is pretty cool. I might have to check out more tech death.

If you get an album get Onset of Putrefaction. Epitaph isn't as good.
And the best Tech Death song ever.

Must agree totally. But i still say that Cruelty Incarnate is their best song.

The music is brilliant, on par with Skin Coffin for sure.
But I think the vocal melody and lyrics in Skin Coffin are catchier, and that puts Skin Coffin above it for me :).

I'm a 15 year old guy. I'm really angry and really depressed all the time. It's normal. I think.

Western Australia. We drink beer, smoke cannabis and eat pies with meat in them.

When the hell has any form of Metal been commercial?

Melodeath. Metallica. Pantera. Fucking shit metalcore.

Least of all Melodeath?

Most of all idiot. It's a horrible merge of lame arse mass appeal melody played with the instruments commonly found in metal. It's only difference from metalcore is it's ever so fucking slightly heavier.

I'll admit, bands like Bodom and In Flames are a tad commercial, but neither have been Melodeath in forever. Bodom are some kind of moderately thrashy mallcore shit now, and In Flames are Metalcore, although with arguably more Metal than Core.

They are still commercial, and goths and emos who slit their wrists to Avenged Sevenfold, DevilDriver and Escape the Fate all listen to Bodom and In Flames.

Or come close to it in terms of being commercial or, by extension, shit?

Over emphasis on vocal lines, never a good thing in heavier types of metal, especially death metal. Death metal should be about really fucking heavy riffs, and brutal vocals. And..... Oh fuck, what is the name of that fucking band. Argh. I know it starts with T or something. Fuck. Anyway, melodeath is lame metalcore riffing with constant singing. Furthermore, Cradle of Filth are more technical than melodeath bands. Melodeath is commercial shit. Sucked in.

You're blowing this out of proportion. He just wasn't fucking right for the club. He liked shit house bands. At least when I joined I was listening to thrash.

Stop pretending you're the fucking king ov all that is kvlt and tr00

Fucking hell, this is why you're such a fucking bitch. All I did was point out to some young fuck stick that he had a shithouse taste in music, and melodeath is crap. Did you hear any fucking shit going on about how tr00 I was? When he asked me to list my favourite bands do you notice the fact that about 3 of them were black metal? Why, why oh why do you have to come back to this stupid argument, that I'm trying to be some fucking kvlt master. I hardly fucking post here you little dickhead, I'm out doing shit half the time. And hardly listening to black metal while doing it. So shut your immature Icelandic fuck hole.

You liked Thrash, and then Opeth, while you had been here for a long time, And he just happens to have somewhat known bands in his list.

I still like thrash, and I still like Opeth. What the fuck are you trying to say.

Have some fucking respect, He came here to get further into metal, and you're not helping.

He's hardly going to post here Kidd. He didn't come here to get further into metal either. He was just some bored moron who likes commercial metal.

Can you imagine where you'd be today without coming here?

I'd probably like alternative rock/nu-metal and hip-hop, and I wouldn't have such long hair. And I probably wouldn't still be a virgin.

That Devil Doll song.... It's just. Well. It's like.

Power metal. With a bit of folk in it. That violin solo was good and all. The energy of the song was kind of.... Weak.

Well. That's my useless contribution for now.
