Metal Thread VI: We're So Kvlt, We Have Frostbite On Our Devil Horn Fingers

[grimbold]

My impression was that viking metal grew out of Bathory's Hammerheart and that Skyclad were the first folk metal band.

i really like skyclad
but for some reason i can not dig bathory
WHY?

Well, yes. That's why I said it grew out of extreme metal.

but for some reason i can not dig bathory
WHY?

Dunno. Maybe because extreme metal? I don't really like Blood Fire Death, which is more black metally, but Hammerheart and especially Nordland are amazingly good. Quorthon's raw shouts are just godly.

I would have loved to hear Nordland III and IV. Silly heart attacks.

well thats whats weird
I LOVE extreme metal
I;m interviewing Revocation tonight and i listened to morbid angel and Death all day yesterday..

and i guess Extreme is is pretty cool XD, especially decadence dance...

[Nameless]

So I found something amazing. It's called NeuroTech. Best way I can describe this guy is as a perfect blend of Melodeath and Industrial Metal. *fanboys forever*

i found out about them today too!
Oo

also my interview with revocation went well,
will post linky tomorrow

[Triscuitable]

Listened to Fistful of Metal and Christ Skeleton today. Those are both solid albums. I really enjoyed the rather humorous take on metal FFoM has, and the agreeably negative views on the latter's obvious topic.

All in all, good day to listen to some Anthrax and Slayer. I've been straying away from Metallica and AC/DC for some other bands I've never heard, like Pantera, and a few Jimi Hendrix songs I never heard. Not metal, just what I'm listening to.

Sounds a bit like The Kovenant to me. But nice enough.

Because they have different sounds and one suits you and one doesn't. :B

Okay, I dunno if anyone else thinks this, but I think Blood Fire Death is not black metal. It's thrash, sometimes blackened thrash. It just happens to have production that is black metal-ish, and some song writing that is similar, but the riffs themselves are mostly thrash, for srs.

Come at me bros.

i kind of see where you are coming from

I'm willing to say that it's thrashy black metal.. but i don't think i can bend further than that...

[Faulty]

Death/thrash with some electronic stuff here and there.

[Triscuitable]

I saw Alice Cooper while I was in Buffalo last year. That was pretty sweet.

The Kovenant are also awesome. As are covenant. But I'll stop spamming the thread with Industrial for now and spam it with Insomnium instead. Because they're fricking amazing.

[cleric_of_BANJO]

My god, you're perfect for this discussion! Is there any specific reason you don't put Spiritual Healing up there with SBG and Leprosy?

Because Death's first two albums are so foundational. I listen to a song like Choke on It (linked in my earlier post, just scroll up), and every time I hear a riff, I go "wow, that is just Death Metal 101." Everything they do screams to me, saying that THIS is how DM is supposed to be done. And they're catchy too. Sounds weird, considering what DM has turned into, but they're riffs just get stuck in my head. And SBG is just Slayer+, and it's done perfectly.

Human (and on) is good, but I'm not as big a fan of the progressive elements in their music. They don't sound forced, they actually fit in great, but my personal preference is classic DM over progressive DM. You should read Autothrall's reviews of Death's first two albums, he explains it better than I ever could.

Dark Angel

As my eighth grade teacher/psychologist said, when you've heard Angel of Death, you've heard everything Slayer's ever made.

Yes, my eighth grade teacher. She looks nothing like a metal fan, but she's easily the most well informed out of all of them.

Okay, pet peeve here. That is not industrial, nor is 99% of what gets tagged as "industrial [insertsubgenre] metal". Examples of industrial are: Anna Gardeck, Laibach, Throbbing Gristle, NON. There's a difference between electronic use and industrial.

Autothrall's

I like that guy. Dunno if you've ever looked at his rateyourmusic profile, but he's made some pretty interesting (and long) lists about black metal, thrash metal, etc.

We need some Cult from Skeleton Christ to set the mood.

I have looked at it, also been to fromthedustreturned.com a few times, but I usually enjoy reading his reviews on MA, they're more accessible. He's the one that got me into Darkthrone. And Death. And Morbid Angel. And Blind Guardian. And Venom. And King Diamond, Pharaoh, Bolt Thrower, Tankard, Destruction, Sodom, Kreator...

Basically, if I ever want to listen to new music, I go to his reviews, click to rank them in order (from highest to lowest) and look for albums I haven't listened to. And I listen to them. I don't agree with everything he says, but he is very reliable when it comes to most classic Thrash, DM and black metal.

You're right, Covenant aren't Industrial Metal, they're EBM.
Unless you're referring to The Kovenant in the other post, in which case, they are Industrial Metal. Or the post before that, where I mentioned Neurotech, in which case, he describes himself as "Cyber Metal", (yay more sub-genres) To me it just sounds like a blend of Industrial and Melodeath, and I'm not just talking about the use of synth.
Or are you talking about Insomnium? In which case, I never said they were Industrial.

Huh. Another reason why I don't like it. Go figure.

Spam away. My industrial collection needs to be filled a bit more Ever since Samael went back to black metal. Sigh.

Word. Like when people say Nince Inch Nails is industrial metal. I just lol and then punch them in the face. Also? Laibach is the greaterest.

If he got you into those bands, what did you listen to before that?

Unless you're referring to The Kovenant in the other post, in which case, they are Industrial Metal.

The Kovenant and Neurotech have about as much to do with industrial as Iron Maiden has to do with death metal.

The Kovenant were also better when they were just Covenant.

[grimbold]

not possibly... *shiver* metallica?

today i laughed at the biggest metallica fan i know because he did not understand the meaning of the word "Sellout"

Aren't they like the defnition?

admittedly i do like post black album metallica i just feel that... people should stop claiming they're "Metalheads" because they dig metallica...

Only Justice and prior is truly good. The Black Album is just that; The band couldn't put food on their [gold emblazoned] plates. Understandable, but they abandoned what they basically invented in process, never returning.

It is this reason why I put Sunn on my Pandora. Of course, I had just been working out, so I promptly threw up.

NIN are Industrial, but Metal? He's Industrial Rock if anything.

The Kovenant and Neurotech have about as much to do with industrial as Iron Maiden has to do with death metal.

Okay.

*Isn't quite sure what he just read, but will simply nod and smile*

You'll find that The Kovenant were originally a Black Metal band that later became more Industrial orientated. They still have a lot of Black Metal within their music, But there's no reason why you can't mix Industrial Metal with other elements such as Black Metal. Psyclon Nine do it pretty damn well.

[ex cathedra]

His first and only worthwhile album is synth-pop.

How is "Worship Music"? I saw it when I piked up Th1rt3en for my Deth-Head friend, and thought it'd be a nice alternative to Megadeth.
