It took me a long time to appreciate black metal but I really love the genre now.

Shrike_Priest said:Same thing here. Black Metal was hard to get into (Burzum's Filosofem was my gateway drug), but now I've been really digging it. And thanks to you posting that pic, I'm now in love with Drudkh. For some reason that cover just made me check them out on last.fm and holy crap they're awesome. Apart from the "Let's go folk" album Songs of Grief and Solitude everything is pure awesomeness. I've been looking for that kind of hypnotic Black Metal groove ever since I started with Burzum, but never really found it until now.
Shrike_Priest said:Now, as for a band that I want to recommend: You have to hear Lykathea Aflame's Evenefris.
Anyone who's got any interest in the death metal genre needs this record. It's out of this world. The skill, ambition and raw energy are really hard to top. I know it's been mentioned before, but you really need to check them out. Especially if you're into the more technically geared metal styles.

Dark Space - Dark Space III
Very ambient, very dark, with killer riffs and just over all badassery. Highly recommended.

Magnus said:I enjoyed Sonata just fine, but I confess to not knowing them very well at all, so I don't really know what songs they played. I might listen to a few now and see which ones I recognized from that night. Lead singer's voice was damned impressive. He was dressed like a tard though, I swear he looked like a lumberjack; unshaven, scruffy, plaid red shirt and jeans. I really hope it wasn't a "gawsh we're in Canada" joke, lol.

English band, two singers and some really technical shit but catchy at the same time.
chaostrophy said:My wife is actually way more metal than I am. Some of the stuff she likes such as Necrophagist and Illogicist sounds a bit too guitar-wanky for me. But she has introduced me to a few bands I end up liking a lot: Aborted, Akercocke, Dissection, Enslaved.
My favorite metal band though is Starkweather, they have been since I was in high school. They've released very little material and aren't that well-known, but their music is utterly amazing.
In the liner notes to the 2005 expanded edition of the Awaken the Guardian album, Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy noted that, "[v]ery often fans and critics credit Dream Theater for creating a whole new genre of progressive metal music in the late '80s/early '90s, . . . ut the truth is Fates Warning were doing it years before us.

Witchfinder General said:The first two Six Feet Under albums and their first EP are the only ones worth listening to. They turned to shit once Allen West left the band.
duffey said:I really wish I could get into Six Feet Under....
I'll definitely agree with that. That album surprised me. I wasn't expecting much from it since Soulfly hasn't impressed me in forever but it definitely went beyond my expectations.Opus Angelorum said:A bit mainstream for some of you people, but I just recently bought:
Cavalera Conspiracy, Inflikted
I know a lot of strict Sepultura fans are pretty down on it, but I think it's the best work to come from Max since the release of Roots.
Alucard said:Badass cover art and great melodic Viking metal as well...
nitewulf said:anyone listen to this? the cover intrigues me.
fistfulofmetal said:Last album is better, in my opinion. It's still good though.
Their new album is pretty good too.Flynn said:I like this record. It's good stoner metal with fantasy (but not cheesy) lyrics.
They're in Guitar Hero 2.

listening to Sacramentum's "Far Away From The Sun" right now
Ravager61 said:I love Far Away from the Sun. Great album.
My current black metal album of choice it this one.
PrinceAdam said:Toxic Holocaust-an overdose of death
great album I got it in green Vinyl.
Witchfinder General said:A great Blck Metal album for sure, I just wish Ulver didn't go out of their way to make it one of the worst sounding albums ever made. I remember hearing a rumour that they recorded the album on a boombox in the middle of the forest for maximum 'low-fi' sound.

Ravager61 said:Yeah, the production is pretty terrible. The riffs are insanely awesome though.
I read an even more ridiculous rumor that said the record company gave them a pile of cash to record this album and instead of spending it on production, they recorded it on an 8-track tape recorder in the woods and spent the money on a corvette.
This is them with the car.
Im not making this up.
