The Official Metalheads Thread
A place to discuss the nuances of music proven to increase aggression and delinquency in minors. From thrash to jazzcore.
Post videos, songs, comments, recommend bands, whatever. http://www.lala.com/song/360569449478385998 Meshuggah - I |

Re: The Official Metalheads Thread
Though I definitely admire the musicianship of Meshuggah (particularly Haake), I'm not a big fan. They're not bad, but there are far more interesting metal acts out there, in my opinion.
I'm well versed in most metal sub/micro-genres, save power and folk metal. If you need any recs, I'm more than willing to give them. Recently I've been listening to a lot of 1st wave black metal, dirty blackened thrash, and blackened crust type stuff. Midnight, Infernal Stronghold, Ork Bastards, [early] Bathory, Toxic Holocaust, Pyrotoxic, [early] Celtic Frost and that kind of stuff. |

Re: The Official Metalheads Thread
I have a couple friends who are big on folk metal. I am more of a fan of progressive/technical/death. Ever listened to Blotted Science?

As for tech death, I definitely dig early Arsis, Quo Vadis, Decrepit Birth, and a few others, though my favorite school of death metal belongs to the Swedes. Entombed, Tribulation, Maim, Repugnant, Dismember, Skeletal Spectre, Bloodbath, Death Breath, and the early Gothenburg scene get me going. |

Re: The Official Metalheads Thread
What older artists do you listen to? Along the lines of Slayer, Sepultura, or Death?

As for other older artists, I listen to a wide range. Some of the ones similar to those three would be Exhorder, Kreator, Destruction, Sarcofago, Obituary, Celtic Frost, and Hellhammer. |

Re: The Official Metalheads Thread
I really do love metal, as well as just about every type of music.
I can really get into anything. Probably my favorite extreme metal band is Behemoth, whose concert I'm going to on Monday. I also drum in a parody-thrash-metal band called Man Parts, and we just recorded our first EP (currently in the production/mixing stage). But really, I love just about all types of metal. I can throw on Motley Crue and immediately switch to Napalm Death (granted, straight-up Grindcore isn't technically considered metal, but it's pretty relevant). |

Re: The Official Metalheads Thread
Omg, metal is not real music. Learn what real music is. Look up dj splash and be amazed!

Re: The Official Metalheads Thread
I would check it out, if 'DJ' was not part of the artist name. Please keep smearing of metal out of this thread.
I just bought Gojira's The Way of All Flesh, and I'm a little disappointed, the only song on there as good as the tracks from From Mars to Sirius is Toxic Garbage Island. Also finally picked up Roots (Sepultura) and I am really impressed, not as thrash oriented as the early stuff, but the down tuned guitars and tribal drums give the album a real punch. Ratamahatta makes that album. |

Re: The Official Metalheads Thread
Not a large fan of Sepultura past Arise/Third World Posse. Roots was mildly interesting for a listen or two, but otherwise uninspiring.
The Way of All Flesh was one of my favorite albums of 2008 (along with Traced in Air, A Spell for the Death of Man, Lazarus Bird, Gods of the Earth, Krallice, and Meanderthal). Without a doubt my favorite Gojira album. Their most polished, mature, and well-rounded album to date, imo. "Vacuity" is an incredibly crushing and powerful track, and my favorite on the album. That being said, being one of the best albums of 2008 is doesn't carry the same weight as being the best album of 2009 or several other years in the 2000s (2001, 2004, and 2007 specifically). And very few years can ever approach the glory of 1996, but that's a discussion for another time. |

Re: The Official Metalheads Thread
Although I only listen to a select amount of Metal, I am partial to Job For A Cowboy, especially Entombment of a Machine. It has an amazing scream in it, Deathcore at its best in my opinion.

Re: The Official Metalheads Thread
Im more of a heavy metal man myself, and i must say Lamb of God is my favorite band. I've seen them live and it was insane but ive also seen slayer, cannibal corpse(which was crazy), and a few others, but it saddens me that i can never see Pantera...

Re: The Official Metalheads Thread
I've always viewed LoG as a mainstream 'metal' band along the lines of Slipknot or Disturbed.
I found 2008 to be a great year for metal, Meshuggah, Gojira, and High on Fire all had releases. |

A7X, Escape The Fate, Disturbed, A Skylit Drive, We Came as Romans, Attack Attack, Bless The Fall, AFI, Saosin, Alesana, Dead By April, Underoath, The Devil Wears Prada, Broadway, Framing Hanley, and probably a bunch more... <3
(some may not be metal, but these are my favs) and on the topic of folk metal, try Eluveitie. |

Re: The Official Metalheads Thread
I refuse to classify crabcore as metal. Or music for that matter. All crabcore can just go die in a fire and no one will ever miss it.
I'm not very much of a metal person, but when I do, I listen to Dream Theater, Megadeth, Mastodon, and Metallica. Huge variety there, right. I guess if you count Coheed and Cambria... |
