Phobophile said:Last time I checked they were.
Would quicksilver be a fast metal?

lsslave said:I wonder what would happen if I also added I think MCR is perhaps the greatest touring band in North America now?
Phobophile said:I took a picture with Mike Scalzi at Alehorn of Power II in Chicago in June. So awesome. Traveller is better, BTW.

lsslave said:Sorry for the derail, I was just pointing out that some people can be snobs... I think thats why I stopped listening to Metal for years (except X, always love them)... are all the non-mainstream genres this bad for this really!
Phobophile said:It's because we wanna keep people like you out >=]
lsslave said:Linkin Park is considered metal (Nu Metal is still METAL) and I am sure fans of that band you would rip apart too.
lsslave said:You know what the funniest thing is? Linkin Park is considered metal (Nu Metal is still METAL) and I am sure fans of that band you would rip apart too.
Just because you don't like a form of metal DOESN'T make it a bad thing, and just because you can not open your minds to other forms of great music does not mean that there are not other good forms of music.
Ravager61 said:Just because someone likes a form of music doesnt mean it isnt boring, generic shit (which most modern rock music is).
Also, please leave the thread. This thread is about metal and not about your shitty attempt to defend the type of music you listen to.
Big Nate said:So in the last metal thread we determined that there are a bunch of us here, so I figured I'd start a new thread so we could recommend albums and discuss. PLEASE people, let's try to keep this civil and don't rag on other's favorites. Just because some people like some forms of metal over others doesn't mean they are idiots.
Phobophile said:We won't rag on you for liking something shitty like Japan X or Venom or something but we clearly will if you keep defending the hopeless argument that nu-metal is metal. If you know anything about music theory, or hell, have vaguely trained ears, you can tell that Linkin Park, Korn, et al. are clearly rock. Rock trying hard as fuck to market itself as metal.
iv never hurd of them before so i looked them up on "youtube" i gatta get me some of there CDsBig Nate said:

Ravager61 said:As someone who LOVES death metal, I honestly cant understand the appeal of this band. All their songs are just one constant blast beat.
Phobophile said:Annihilations of the Wicked was a really solid album! I was surprised when I heard it last year. The rest of their discography can go fuck off.
I just don't like how Behemoth went from being the best blackened death metal out there... to a fucking Nile clone.
I admit being pretty underwhelmed by the Apostasy but Demigod and Zos Kia Cultis are great releases. I actually dont find the 2 bands all that similar.Phobophile said:Annihilations of the Wicked was a really solid album! I was surprised when I heard it last year.

Ravager61 said:Great album. Although I honestly think With Oden on our Side is their best release.
no offense, I know people have different tastes, but that's the epitome of metal that I truly dislike and the type of metal that outsiders base the entire genre on (not that that's the band's fault).TOM f'N CRUISE said:
Maggot9 said:WOOOS is damn solid, without a doubt. I still give it regular listens. Though the lyrics on Once Sent are what really does it for me, it's like goddamn poetry man.
Victorious March is also my favourite song by them.

Ravager61 said:Great song. I highly recommend picking up their dvd. Its 3 discs with 5 full concerts for like 15 bucks. Plus, one of the shows has a goddamn Viking battle live on stage.
Maggot9 said:You don't have to tell me that, they're my favourite band. I got their DVD the first chance I got.
Ravager61 said:Nice. I was going to see them over the summer on Sounds of the Underground. I bought my ticket in advance and everything.... and then they didnt play the date I bought the ticket for. I had to sit through shit like Job for a Cowboy, Everytime I Die, and other crappy hardcore bands, which would have been ok if I got to see Amon Amarth, but I didnt so it sucked.

Propagandhim said:Aww what's wrong with Venom? : ( Black Metal is a great album.
Phobophile said:Haha, I never liked that band. They're not the worst out there but they're totally suck ass. Though I do appreciate their influence on metal.
Propagandhim said:Ahh. If you could recommend one album what would it be? I haven't listened to good metal in a long time.
Phobophile said:Any genre or style preference?

I put all my favs of the year in that post. Those are all 8/10 albums or higher so they're what I consider to be the best of the best for this year.
Phobophile said:Pretty good slam death from Greece. I really enjoyed it.
Ecrofirt said:You know guys, I host a metal radio show at my college on Wednesdays from 9-11PM Eastern time.
I'll link to the radio stream next week.
You can call, but we don't have it set up so callers can get on the air.Propagandhim said:Can I call in and be awesome?

We've also got an AIM screen name you can put requests in at as well.
Propagandhim said:The music is great. Intense - totally kicking my ass - but I'm not a fan of incomprehensible vocals like this. Is there anything on your list that has more..."orthodox" vocals?
Eternal Hypnosis is a pretty sweet tune.
Phobophile said:"Orthodox?" Do you mean clean vocals? Or not the gurgly brutal death vox?
