~I love metal!~

[coral beef]

death is meh, the vocalist sounds like he's trying to hit puberty for about the 9th time. Although a few of their songs are pleasurable. Crystal mountain is by far my favorite.

If you don't like metal, PLEASE for the love of god don't waste your time posting here. It will be considered spamming/trolling.

Stop trolling.

 

Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, Van Halen, Tool, Opeth, Ozzy Osbourne, Dio, Metallica (before Black Album. More specifically, the songs Mustaine wrote), Death, so on.

I think a lot of bands tend to bastardise the term 'music' in metal. They make songs with the mindset of "oh, I want to be awesome" or "oh, that sounds cool, whatever" and they don't really write much worth listening to. You listen to greats like Iron Maiden, Dream Theater etc. and you can hear just how definitively important the instrumentals are, and generally a story or deeper meaning behind the lyrics. The instrumentals complement the lyrics of the song, so it's not really "oh, that sounds cool" but rather riffs, melodies and so on were written to complement the actual song.

Personally I think that's why there's a dividing line between people who like metal and people who hate metal, with a very small middleground; a lot of people / bands just don't think about what the song actually means, and they make it generic.

I love you... 100% agreed. Great to see someone else that actually appreciates metal for the skills used rather then to piss off the mainstream with often loud and unnecessary screams.

Excuse me?

Now that's just spam.
This thread is to talk about how much you enjoy metal.
Don't talk about anything other than that, or it will be considered as spam.
If you have anything to say in reply to this. PM me, and i'll happily ignore it.
Otherwise, don't post here unless it's to appreciate metal music. Otherwise i'll have to report it.

My favorite two artists are Disturbed and Tool. But I do love many others. Im not a fan of older metal though. Im into the newer stuff for the most part.
