Lets Talk Metal
Aug 20, 2016 at 11:05 AM Post #23,941 of 29,653
Hey guys, very interesting discussion going on here. I actually started my metal/hardcore/heavy-music-in-general w/ Christian bands because I was heavily religious at the time.

I enjoyed Blindside, Underoath, Project 86, August Burns Red, Becoming the Archetype.

Tooth and Nail's Solid State Records had some cool stuff for a while.

August Burns Red is the only one that I still listen to however. They're probably the only metalcore band I still enjoy.

Anyway, I'm going to back up a few pages and try to find some new stuff to listen to on my Alpha Primes. Hopefully I can get the good stuff on Tidal.

Cheers!

Been listening to Kroda, I really enjoy their rythem and vocals. Reminds me of one of my favorite band called It Dies Today. Any other bands like Kroda ?

Wow, no comments on the new Meshuggah?

I haven't really heard a band like Kroda. That being said...
 
Drudkh is also sorta epic folk black metal.

All these bands are from Ukraine, by the way.
 
Jeez. Those 128 kbps Bandcamp streams sound awful compared to the CDs...but at least they're consistent, unlike YouTube.

Drudkh is also sorta epic folk black metal, but not nearly as folky or melodic as Kroda.

Thanks, will give them a try or two.

  Pro tip: when quoting a post, you don't need to quote the entire thing. That just makes the page more messy than it needs to be. If you want, you can go back and edit out that unnecessary wall.

Why not PM people stuff like this?
 

Normally I would never post something like this, but since we now seem to have some people in here who like their Metal christian.....maybe you'll get a kick out of this.

@markm1 Here's some of the better new OSDM bands around right now. There are many more out there of course, but these are my favorite, and in my opinion the best. If any others come to mind I'll post them in the near future.
 
Undergang - Indhentet Af Døden: Groovy, brutal, interesting death metal that has some real guts. Getting this album is a no-brainer, as is all of their other material.
https://undergang.bandcamp.com/album/indhentet-af-d-den
 
Domains - Sinister Ceremonies: The absolute best Morbid Angel worship you'll ever hear. These dudes are from Spain. This album is a free download, so there's no excuse not to get it.
https://domainsofdeath.bandcamp.com/
 
Drowned - Idola Specus: These Germans have been around since the '90s, but it took them quite a long time to release a full length. It's an awesome example of Incantation-style OSDM with some of my favorite riffs. Even my wife likes it, it's that good.
https://drowned.bandcamp.com/album/idola-specus
 
Disma - Towards the Megalith: Crushing music that borders on death/doom. Craig Pillard's vocals are really powerful.
https://profoundlorerecords.bandcamp.com/album/towards-the-megalith
 
Hooded Menace - Never Cross the Dead: These guys don't border on death/doom, they are the pinnacle of it. Everything they've done is exceptional.
https://profoundlorerecords.bandcamp.com/album/never-cross-the-dead
 
Dead Congregation - Promulgation of the Fall: Death metal in Incantation's style, but honestly, these guys almost do it better than Incantation. Every song is very interesting and well-rounded.
https://deadcongregation.bandcamp.com/album/promulgation-of-the-fall
 
Cerekloth - In the Midst of Life We Are In Death: Very morose sounding, and well thought out. 
https://hellsheadbangers.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-midst-of-life-we-are-in-death
 
Excoriate - On Pestilent Winds: The production on this album is vicious and put to good use, as the songs are rippers. 
https://excoriate-death-metal.bandcamp.com/album/on-pestilent-winds
 
Venenum - Venenum: This album could be the soundtrack to every vampire movie ever made.
https://venenum.bandcamp.com/album/venenum
 
Skeletal Remains - Condemned to Misery: This is maybe closer to the Florida style than anything else on the list, so if you dig that sound be sure to check them out. I can listen through the entire album with no problem.
https://fda-rekotz.bandcamp.com/album/condemned-to-misery
 
Funebrarum - Sleep of Morbid Dreams: These guys rip! This album is mandatory.
https://funebrarum-death-metal.bandcamp.com/album/sleep-of-morbid-dreams-2009
 
Obliteration - Black Death Horizon: Weird, awesome death metal from Norway. The drummer kills it on this, and the riffs are pretty out there. It never gets old to me.
https://blackdeathhorizon.bandcamp.com/album/black-death-horizon
 
Desecresy - Chasmic Transcendence: Other-worldly riffs from Finland, Desecresy somehow makes OSDM into sci-fi.
https://xtreemmusic.bandcamp.com/album/chasmic-transcendence
 
Cruciamentum - Charnel Passages: I had somehow put off listening to this last year, but a fellow head-fier posted it in this thread and I finally gave it a whirl. I bought it ASAP and have been jamming it ever since. They are Grave Miasma's other half, so check them out too if you like what you hear.
https://profoundlorerecords.bandcamp.com/album/charnel-passages
 
Pissgrave - Suicide Euphoria: You like Symphonies of Sickness, so I figure this won't be too big a pill for you to swallow. It's pretty nuts though, especially the vocals. Straight pitch-shift with no variation the whole way through.
https://profoundlorerecords.bandcamp.com/album/suicide-euphoria
 
Charon - Sulphur Seraph (The Archon Principle): Maybe the most underrated album in this list, but a true gem. The album isn't pure death metal, but a bit black. Riffs, compositions, and vocals are so good that I have to include it.
https://charon-death-metal.bandcamp.com/album/sulphur-seraph-the-archon-principle
 
So you mentioned grindcore in relation to Carcass. Symphonies of Sickness is indeed grind, goregrind to be precise, but I think it blurs the line enough with its song lengths and guitar work to be considered death metal. Reek of Putrefaction on the other hand is up and up GOREGRIND, and one of the best examples of the genre (in fact it started the genre). I think it's an album that's either love or hate, and I for one think it's awesome.
https://carcass.bandcamp.com/album/reek-of-putrefaction-full-dynamic-range-edition
 
And here are three goregrind bands heavily influenced by early Carcass who carry the banner well.
The County Medical Examiners - Olidous Operettas
https://thecountymedicalexaminers.bandcamp.com/album/olidous-operettas
 
General Surgery - Left Hand Pathology
https://listenable-records.bandcamp.com/album/left-hand-pathology
 
Haemorrhage - Grume
https://haemorrhage.bandcamp.com/album/grume-reissue

Maybe there should be a "Let's talk metalcore" thread. Lots of folks have been popping in to talk about core bands lately.
Metal, isnt Metal like Iron Maiden, Dokken, Ratt, Judas Priest?

Metalcore is a legitimate metal genre. I don't support branching off into multiple metal threads just because not everyone likes certain things.
 
Metal, isnt Metal like Iron Maiden, Dokken, Ratt, Judas Priest?

 
Those bands were the original heavy metal bands. You could think of them as traditional/classic heavy metal.
 
All sorts of other metal genres are described here:

Ah, here we see the typical metal elitist, if it isn't thrash, death, or black metal then it isn't metal at all huh. I didn't see a thread called let's talk thrash so this thread is free for any metal genre. Trivium is a mix of both metalcore and thrash roots so you might want to reconsider your blatant "core" hate, not all "core" is generic emo with 0-0-0-0-0-0
