Some metal anyone?

[mightyfenrir]

Growling isn't really screaming tho.
I have been to a black metal concert and those guys aren't screaming their lungs out. They are doing it just like any other clean singer.
But I do agree that it takes some time to get used too.


Oh and STRANGE, MOUNTAIN !!!

Try explaining that to your boss at Burger King when you're in high school... that douche wouldn't listen to a single word I said... oh well...

[Lykaor]

Love the band and the festival. (I'll hopefully have a go this summer)

Wacköööööön!!!

[FunTex]

One band covers all my metal needs; they're superficial, corny and metal enough for anyone: Manowar! Need i say more? Almost all their albums rock, with tracks like "Hail and Kill", "Sign of the hammer" and "warriors of the world" and i could go on... Their newest album was a letdown though, a great packing on the special edition, but i took a listen, and i might as well have stuck human waste in my ears and let it sink in deep.

Well, i also really enjoy iron maiden, did a paper on "hallowed be thy name" in english class, and i used to enjoy pantera but had way, way too much of it.

Anyway, have any of you guys listened to the norwegian band TOTAL WAR? (formerly WAR), i think they should definitely NOT be on the soundtrack for kingdoms. (i wanted to check if they had been mentioned on here before, but the search engine wasn't really helpful. I wonder why...) take a listen guys, but make sure you haven't eaten for at least one hour before you do.

HEAVY METAL THUUUNDARRRR!

Who actually dared buy that at a shop though? What if you met a friend on the way out who didn't know who Manowar are? Could be very embarrassing...

Aye, Manowar is indeed more metal then anyone .
I got hte "Absolute Power" DVD and must say that it's a awesome show.
There's a band that really cares about their fans unlike Limp Bizkit and Trivium.

Yeah it was a letdown.
The metal songs were awesome but there was simply way too much instrumentals and Joey's horrible voice-overs.
But that's what the "skip track" button is for

If I remember correctly, that album is not offical so you shouldn't be able to find it in a shop.
Besides this is Manowar, they can be as homoerotic as they want. They would still be more metal then anyone.

There is alot of ignorance in the world.
People love putting labels on metalheads.

[FunTex]

True dat, guys. And god, i bought a special edition, a thick leather case with a steel plate folded around it, quite neat, only a faint impression of the band name pressed onto the steel. Quite metal, if only the lyrics in the booklet wasn't written in runes... Oh Manowar, you crack me up, in the most metal way possible.

[Bovril]

Yeah, I listen to a lot of Metal (more than any other genre). 90% of it is crap IMO, but that leaves a hell of a lot of good bands. I'm not a huge fan of the thread starter's faves being into more obscure stuff generally. Plus I can't stand the bigotry of bands like Canibal Corpse.

[Necromancer]

American 80's thrash! Vio-lence, testament, exodus, megadeth, overkill just to name a few.
todays metal bands suck , they all sound alike, none of them sound unique. the cookie-monster voices suck, the screaming sucks, they play gay breakdowns, and the hardcore dancing makes me so pissed off. whats worse they all suck at guitar, they dont play any solos!
trivium is so god-awful terrible. they steal all their **** from metallica and other bands. (solos escpecially) the singer is ripping off hetfields vocals. alot of their solos are just of the speed metal guitar dvd. they think they will become the next metallica, bullsh!t!
then theres lamb of god, who thinks theyre thrash but they are metalcore (i hate the singer so much, he thinks hes metal but hes got a emo haircut) and that bullet for my valentine band who say they be the next iron maiden. they should get hanged for that remark.

THANK YOU!!!

All of these new and nu metal bands need to clamp on a big, fat one.

Although I'm not too much into thrash, I do like Megadeth, because Mustaine is the man, he gets the point across without screaming his lungs to hell.

I'm more into the British sound of Heavy Metal. Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Saxon etc.

Death Metal, the most fierce of all metal, that only the most brave, hardcore metalheads listen to ... LOL!!! Gimme a break! Death Metal, Black Metal, Dark Metal, Doom Metal (oooooh! ), all of that **** SUCKS! It's worse than punk!

If you want it loud, fierce and in your face, all you need is PAINKILLER!!! Pure Heavy Metal! It pierces the skin, goes through the fat and rips the muscle faster and harder than ANY death metal song or group. PERIOD!!!

The whole album is a Heavy Metal MASTERPIECE! EVERY song is a winner!

I present to you, PAINKILLER

I never really thought they were bigots... just really offensive, hmmm...

But anyhow... I never got into manowar, they bored me... then again, I have been listening to rob zombie off and on the past few days, and he gets boring too sometimes...

[hunter260859]

Nice post necromancer yes priest are the true gods of metal there fierce fast and a little dirty but they have the soft and melodic sort of side to them so both types of people can enjoy

and there still going to this day

i present you with hellrider

[apostate]

I've been perusing around here lately and every band I notice is a pop band or some emo whiney band or a radiohead-esque band or oldies.

still a good mix with pop is doable



btw only metal bands make up interesting lyrics....

[The Super Pope]

Brummie invention, heavy metal. little known fact that

[hunter260859]

no it isnt black sabbath came from brummie land and so did judas priest the god farther of heavy metal

[Your Lame Sister]

oh judas priest... why did you have to pick such an annoying singer? every time I listen to them, I start enjoying the music (the riffs, solos, drumwork...), and then the idiotic self-proclaimed-'god-of-metal' ruins it, completely. especially on painkiller. all of those falsetto high notes are more annying than death growls...

[God]

If you think he's annoying, you've obviously not heard the legendary King Diamond

[Ledhead]

I've been perusing around here lately and every band I notice is a pop band or some emo whiney band or a radiohead-esque band or oldies. Doesn't anyone listen to Fear Factory or Cannibal Corpse anymore. I was playing M2 and listening to Carcass, Demons and Wizards, and Emperor one day... it was great. I just ask 'cause it doesn't seem like there's anyone talking about the good old metal anywhere on here.

I found that most of us don't need the constant affirmation others do, simple as that...

[Your Lame Sister]

at least king diamond is unique, in a twisted, bizzare way (kinda 'ghostly'). rob halford is plain annoying, without adding anything to the music. realy, the only high pitched singer I like is bruce dickinson (from iron maiden, of course). the rest feel forced and unnatural.
