Well, Tenacious D is the band of these two actor guys, right? I didn't know they had any material outside of the music they made for their movie, but I guess they do have a few metal tracks, yeah. I doubt they'd even described themselves as a metal band, since they are more of a parody act that focuses on rock music, but they do play a few metal songs, and their most popular tracks are the metal tracks. If you're into the whole fiction band from a movie or a show playing real and original music, you might like Dethklok from Metalocalypse. It was real big while it was being released (between 2006 and 2013).

If you're looking for doom stuff à la Black Sabbath though, I do recommand listening to the bands I recommanded (Electric Wizard, Sleep, Om) and maybe you should try Kyuss and Saint Vitus.

Have a good day!

Thanks but i already watched dethklok from the pilot to thr finale it was pretty good. But i still enjoy. Mr.crowley by ozzy osbourne.

I'm in an amazing music discovery period right now! I had been trying to catch up with new music for a while, but I eventually started working my way backward into black metal to re-listen to the classics and dig around for a few ones I had not really listened to before. So I enjoyed some of the material of Bathory I had not listened to all that much before. I specifically spent more time on Under the Sign of the Black Mark since I had listened to the s/t and Blood Fire Death a lot before. I started listening to Sarcofago two,

But the genre I'm really having a blast with right now is death metal. It's been my favorite sub-genre for a while now, and after discovering the band Blood Incancation and digging around back to a big influence of theirs named Timeghoul, I popped out my favorit OSDM classics with Gorguts, Possessed, Death and the likes, but I started listening to some more stuff. I had actually never listened to Sepultura all that much, and I finally got around to listening to their first 4 records, but Beneath the Remains is the one that stuck. Oh boy is that a solid fucking death/thrash album! I actually bought a patch of the album cover for my new battle jacket.

I also started listening to a few other OSDM bands, giving a few spins to some of the old Entombed albums and the album The Key by Nocturnus. This last one is a quite fascinating album. If you've never listened to it, I strongly recommand you do. Sci-fi themed OSDM albums are pretty rare, and this one is a very unique beast.

And last but not least, I've been really getting into Pestilence this last week. I love their album Consuming Impulse, of course, but their debut Malleus Maleficarum is quite solid two, and I really really really enjoy their 1991 album Testimony of the Ancients.

Now I have to get into Malevolent Creation's early 90's catalog. And maybe I'll work my way through their 2000's stuff eventually as I go.

Anyone else discovering some new music and having a blast right now?

@Dyna-Soar @HeavenDuff @smeagol1 @Delirium @Viper Sorry I’ve been bad about keeping in touch. Still think about all you people and how you helped form my taste in music since I was young. New stuff I’m loving right now.

Blindead

Entropia (you’ll like this, Duff)

Callisto

Still mad into Obscure Sphinx. Think they’re almost a favorite now.

First track sounds pretty gr8. I’ll finish this album later.

Anyone else here familiar with Igorrr? Been really hooked on Savage Sinusoid for their experimental approaches while mixing in metal. Good time for me to get into them while their new album comes out next week which from the songs released so far is gonna be another eye widening listen.

Would have gone to see them next month but like with all the gigs and any kind of events right now they're all getting postponed due to the coronavirus.

Another band I've recently gotten into. I know this one wasn't that favourable in this thread in the past but I've been caught on by Children of Bodom lately. Well, their first few releases anyway. Only reason why they came into mind was finding their first album for cheap at a record shop by mine

Aye, still lurking about mostly and still pop onto NG daily. Although, wouldn't mind posting a little bit more right now in the current situation.

Can't go wrong with a bit of classic Bathory, although saying that I never got around to listening to The Return. Still think to this day Hammerheart is the best of Bathory.

New Coroner album comin’.

I can't wait for the current Coronavirus hysteria to be over, because otherwise, we've all seen our last real shows. The threat of all future shows being virtual is very real.

Just thinking about all this inclines me to start up my NSBM playlist from A to Z. That's just all I want to listen to, especially after a heated exchange with my green card holding subtenant yesterday. Let's start with Absurd.

I've been going through a lot of demons in my personal life and the person I love the most is, essentially, almost 100% described by the lyrics of Eden by Battle Beast. Nothing can possibly describe what she means to me, what I mean to her, and how recent life events have changed her in a way that has also been making me feel tremendous pain.

Look the song up yourself. I'm in so bad a mood I can't be bothered to give out any freebies. I can't stop listening to it though--it resonates with me that deeply.

This probably isn't the most appropriate venue to release my stressors, but I've done it about 12-13 years ago too. Like back in those days, I'm directing my pain more inwardly than outwardly.

I will probably always be a laughingstock to the majority, but there are a few that sometimes take a moment to pause and privately reach out to me when I'm really hurting, and in a heartfelt way. Those are the people I can never possibly thank enough.

You'd think with coronavirus around and pretty much everywhere shut down that more people would be posting. Or at least more often. I have the excuse that I still have to work 2 jobs because both are "essential" and have no time for really anything unless it's on a day I have off.

I've recently gotten into Gothic Metal listening to Tristania. Vibeke Stene has a great voice.

You ever check out Type O Negative and Paradise Lost? Both are pretty sick GOFF METUHLS bands.

Anyway, sorry about my silence guys, been a hard last few months for me. I was hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital in March on the second week of SaRS-COVID19 due to dealing with heavy heroin withdrawal, after a week I got out, and well, I've been spending a lot of time trying to find a job. In the meantime I started up a new project, been recording a couple of songs, and I hope I get to pull out an album in the following months.

Bolt Thrower is one of the best bands. I'm glad I saw them live in 2006.

Wow this thread is still kicking. Barely.. But alive.

I like blind guardian, luca turilli and rhapsody

You should have said that 2 months ago when I posted it. But I understand the relative inactivity of this thread now lends itself to slow replies. I still post here whenever I can, because I've been part of it since January 12, 2005. I was still a freshman in HS then.

Holy shit, another old one here! I check back here about every few months, which is a lot more compared to the last decade. Seems like I didn't miss much since my last visit, but I'm busy with writing music and reviews.

Hello again everybody, hope you are all doing fine during this crazy times!

Damn, I'm surprised to see you kicking. Even you had disappeared during my time haha. Glad you're still about keeping stuff alive though. Popped into your profile to check out some of your music, pretty dope dude. You uploaded anything since 2018?

I was in the 5th grade. Where did the time go?

Hey there! Not heard from you in so long. I think last time I even spoke to you was when I was still known as Bahamut. I've been managing this year with all the insanity but tbh still being in work and treating myself to some CDs and vinyls every pay day (especially the latter) has been a way to keep going.

Of course, had gigs and festivals disrupted because of Covid. Should have had Bloodstock a few weeks ago but to compensate they're providing an extra day and have Mercyful Fate as headliner (along with Devin Townsend and Judas Priest) for 2021. Additionally was supposed to see Helloween in October but that's pushed back to May. Also hoping to see Igorrr next year as well.

We do need to pick up the pace here, I agree. I want to be doing fine but I'm not. My girlfriend is the latest person close to me to get COVID-19. I can't stop feeling miserable over it. Music and especially metal is the one thing that unifies people and lifts them up even in the most polarizing times. During the Spanish Flu, our music options were very limited, and pretty much restricted to corny dance tunes and classical.

A lot of musicians are being less productive, and some are throwing little bones here and there. We're still over 2 months away from when Carcass releases their Despicable EP for example, but I personally can't wait for it to come out.

You were in 5th grade when I was in 9th, so that makes me about 4 years older than you give or take...I see now that you're 25 and I'm 30, so maybe your birthday is a little later in the year. It's gone by quickly for me too, but there's always something new to worry about.

Yeah, I was spring baby. I started making music pretty seriously right around the time you graduated, actually.

You know honestly, the last metal song I wrote, I was on quarantine, my gf and I had been fighting for a week, and my whole class was sick with Covid after sitting behind a sick Chinese family for 11 hours on the way back from Latvia. Does the inside of your head sound anything like this by any chance?

CROSSOVER POST TIME https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1456156

Haha, I'm surprised to see YOU in here, actually ^^ there's not so many names I remember from days of old, but yours did certainly stick.

I was only gone for about 8 years, though ;-)

Thanks for checking out my stuff, glad you enjoyed it. I'm currently working on a new EP which should be done before the years is over.

How are things over there? Have you remained here without any greater breaks, enjoying the decline and social media renegades? ^^

Hello man, I wouldn't have recognized you with that "new" name but surely I remember the old one - I think we already talked a little after I came back here at some point in the last two years. I've also started collecting vinyls, but only a few that have stood the test of time and should be displayed in my home :-)

Nice plans. I didn't have to cancel anything myself, but was looking forward to catching Unleash the Archers some time this year, as well as attending some local little festivals which have been pushed online or postponed entirely, of course.

Oh man, all the best for you and your gf. Hopefully you are through this soon. It's tough to read about COVID these days, because here in Austria nobody really gives a shit anymore. We came through that first wave pretty well, but since we didn't see any coffins on the streets or body bags thrown around (Italy) people - especially the old ones! - don't care anymore, "it's a flu" has become a common sentence here.

I did a lot of writing (music, reviews) and relaxing (limited job time) during lockdown, I could handle that rather easily.

Yo. Just popping in here for a bit since I noticed activity. Work has been kicking my ass to the point where I'm barely doing anything other than sleeping or working it seems. Good thing is I'm only working 1 job now for the first time in 6 years. So thats a plus not having 14+ hour work days and sometimes working 7 days a week. I know I shouldn't be bitching about working for obvious reasons but yeah.

Anyone buy any new or "new" music lately? I randomly went on a Elder buying spree getting all their stuff I didnt already have in one for or another digitally and/or on vinyl. Just got my clear copy of Gold & Silver Sessions yesterday. Also preorded the new Pallbearer album and bought the digital version of Red Fang's newest single on bandcamp.

Ya I guess I lost track of how long I've been gone now.. So you got me beat there. I'm not even sure what made me think of logging back on, but I got some messages from other older folks doing the same thing. Maybe the quarantine shakes are getting to us.

I'm excited for the new EP, I'll be on the look out!

For now most of my days is juggling too many D&D games, I don't know what is happening in the world irl or online anymore :3

Holy shit I remember you from 2006.

Yeah this place sometimes pops up in my head and I think I have to go check it again, but most of the time I'm just watching Youtube or Movies. Now I've set up a computer desk this place is on my mind again. Still love this thread even though I haven't checked it for a year haha.

I've been getting together a home recording set up so hit me up if anyone in this thread wants to make some songs together for a laugh.
