    Melodeath is just about the only death metal I can listen to. Except maybe Death, the band. I like my old school stuff.

    You've got good taste.

    On another note, I find a listening to "Frantic" while surfing the web to be awesome.

    Chalk another one up for the death metal brigade.

    Although I like my melo to death, there's something to be said for relentless hammering and brutality :D

    About 90% of the metal scene over here is death metal, so I've been exposed to a lot of mediocre death metal.

    That said, these guys are really quite good. And I'm not just saying that because I know them, heh.

    I'm actually just not a huge fan of death growls. Black metal screams, on the other hand...

    It's unique how I perceive the band. Metallica is not as much of a thrash metal band as they are a metal band with a stake in all genres (besides, y'know, black and death). I really like St. Anger. It's a really cool "garage-y" album that shows, in the midst all the risks they'd been taking (Load's cover is semen and blood. Bet you thought it was LAVA), that they're not afraid to experiment. You can't really name any bands that will go to such extreme lengths to innovate besides Metallica. They deserve a better fanbase than what they have, the intolerant, arse-faced, "I-must-criticize-and-hate-all-this-band-releases-to-be-popular" guys.

    You can compare the first song they had out to the song that put them in everyone's field of view (I knew about them a whole decade before I even heard a single song about them!), or even something that lost millions of fans for trying, and wrap it up with the warped combination of thrash and heavy metal.

    That is effort in maintaining staying power!

    90% of the metal scene here in Michigan claims to be Death Metal, but most of it is actually closer to Deathcore or Crossover Thrash, possibly with a little Slipknot influence thrown in because screw you.

    I personally quite enjoy Death Metal, but most given bands in the subgenre don't have enough variety from song to song for me. I don't often buy full Death Metal albums, but I'll happily pick up individual songs here and there. The Proggier stuff with more twists and turns to it is exempt from these complaints and restrictions. I own the final three Death albums, which are awesome, and am quite fond of Opeth.

    Just used PaulStretch on Lucca's Theme (Chrono Trigger). The warped noise I got made it sound like Sludge Metal. It was hillarious when I found I could stretch it so it would take 3,200,500,000,000 years to complete. So I did.

    I invented Chrono Metal, everybody! Takes more than 20 billion lifetimes to enjoy a single song!

    You've never listened to the slowed-by-800% stuff? It's absolutely beautiful. Sounds like epic ambient post-rock.

    It's better when you take something that's already mellow, like The Unforgiven III, and slow it down 500%. It gets a little funny during the parts where James begins to sing, because then it sounds like the time he blew out his voice box screaming "SO ****ING WHAT? *pop*".

    Yup, he's a passionate feller.

    Not a huge fan of Sunn O))), but I do listen to some of those genres. I listened to Virus' The Agent that Shapes the Desert (no link, there's no point to listening to individual songs) and thought it was awesome. I like some stoner (bongzilla, etc), Tiamat's Wildhoney is one of my favorite albums, and yes, it counts as doom. Also Baroness' Blue Record is one of the best releases in the past few years.

    And I hope post-rock counts too, because Godspeed You! Black Emperor's Slow Riot for a New Zero Kanada is one of the greatest EP's ever.

    I'd like to ask everyone a few questions.

    What was the band you heard that got you into metal?

    What is your favorite metal band?

    What is your favorite metal album?


    I can answer these all easily. Metallica, Megadeth, Ride the Lightning.

    Opeth was probably the band that "got me into" metal.

    Agalloch is probably my favorite metal band, though I'd feel bad if I didn't mention Isis.

    My favorite metal album is probably Somewhere Along The Highway.

    A friend gave me some "best of" Iron Maiden album when I was 13. First metal album I'd ever heard, and I must've heard it a few hundred more times without ever tiring of it. The other two change weekly, but I guess it's Animals as Leaders and Powers of Ten by Shawn Lane right now.

    Wildhoney is indeed one of the greatest metal albums ever produced. And that is just fact.

    Hokay:

    1) The first metal band I heard was Metallica, but the one that really got me into metal was probably Nightwish. Or Iced Earth.

    2) Difficult one. I don't really have one single band. At any time it will be a toss-up between Agalloch, Falkenbach, Moonsorrow, Therion or... let's say Blind Guardian.

    3) Same as above. Aforementioned Wildhoney by Tiamat is a definite contender. Kamelot's Black Halo. Blind Guardian's Nightfall in Middle Earth. Iced Earth's Horror Show. Therion's Lemuria/Sirius B. Opeth's Damnation (can that be classified as metal? yeah sure, why not). Shadow Gallery's Tyranny.

    1) I got into Disturbed back in high school, and just about every band I now listen to stems from checking out Priest and Maiden as bands that they had cited as influences.

    2) Iron Maiden can't be fought.

    3) Painkiller - Judas Priest
