Metal Thread VII: The Mosh Pit Don't Start 'Til We Walk In

[Feytalist]

The fact is: for a certain period, after that masterpiece called Velvet darkness they fear (when Theatre of Tragedy was good) I've listened to a good amount of gothic metal, and (to me) Lacuna Coil was tied to songs like this one...

Pre-Musique Theatre of Tragedy was great, yeah.

And yeah, the first two or so albums of Lacuna Coil was pretty good. I actually own Comalies, and I think I just lost whatever credibility I had managed to build up, but I still listen to it occasionally. It's actually pretty okay if you're in the right mood.

Otherwise I still listen to Tristania and Sirenia. And Mortemia. (You can always pick out a Morten Veland band by its name, heh.) Katatonia used to be pretty good. Evereve, too.

personally i view LC as one of the leading bands of the "Hey look we have a girl in our band OMG BOOBS" movement
it really ticks me off because its often a sexualisation made to make more money... :/

Don't you like Huntress? I mean really.

Speaking of, after listening to a lot of modern psychadelic rock in the last week or two, and then going back and listening to some stoner metal, I was amazed by how much the genres overlap. Anyone know any good stuff that occupies that border, as it were?

Oranssi Pazuzu and Devil's Blood come to mind.

you know i'm in love with jill janus

we email regularly and she's supposed to do an interview with me at some point

that makes it ok ofc lol

[grimbold]

ITS TRVE LOVE

we'll probably get married in... Oslo...

[Faulty]

List! Thought I'd call it to attention for the black metal fans in the thread.

[Faulty]

Yeah, Vivian Slaughter is definitely hotter. Sorry, grimbold.

[Moff Chumley]

Can I just submit for the record that Lori S would kick the **** out of any of the above mentioned?

[Moff Chumley]

Because it goes without saying, and bringing it once again to everyone's attention would be redundant?

[Faulty]

Liz Buckingham is hotter than Slaughter or Lori. Sorry folks!

[Moff Chumley]

On the other hand, Liz can barely play.

[Dark Elf Bard]

Has anyone here heard of the German band Nachtblut?

[grimbold]

And Vivian Slaughter is hotter than all your Jill Janus and symph metal girls and whatnot put together.

Alright, there's my obligatory Vivian Slaughter worship post. I'm done, I'm done.

For now.

i don't think you realize how much i love tall beautiful blondes who like death metal :P

[Faulty]

My waifu could beat up your waifu.

[Feytalist]

Has anyone here heard of the German band Nachtblut?

Which one? The gothic metal one, or the black metal one? The black metal one split up, I think, and they weren't all that great anyway. I've heard some stuff by the other one, yeah. It's pretty good. That vocalist has an interesting style.

i don't think you realize how much i love tall beautiful blondes who like death metal :P

It helps that Jill Janus used to DJ for Playboy.

Topless DJs. Is that even a thing?


Also thanks to that black metal list I'm tempted to go try out Striborg now.

[grimbold]

My waifu could beat up your waifu.

my first thought was that you were referring to Astrella...

and jill janus could beat up anybody

she must have a high level of pain tolerance to wear some of those dresses...

[Feytalist]

Also if we're talking about a female vocalist battle royale, I'm pretty sure Runhild Gammelsæter would eat everyone else as a light afternoon snack.


Also also, speaking of Huntress, isn't their first album due to be released sometime soon? Oh wait, I see it's actually out already. Huh.


And I just found out that Thronar split up. That's unfortunate. They had two pretty good albums released.

[godspit]

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Cerebral Bore, Gallhammer, or Janaza yet. All three groups are pretty awesome.

Astrella couldn't beat up anyone. Anyway, I'd say Janus has more of a tolerance for objectification than anything else.

Also if we're talking about a female vocalist battle royale, I'm pretty sure Runhild Gammelsæter would eat everyone else as a light afternoon snack.

I have no idea whether we're talking about attractiveness or performance anymore. Performance wise though, Runhild takes the cake honestly. Her vocals she did with Khlyst are absolutely insane. Probably one of, if not the, best harsh vocal performances I've heard in any genre.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Cerebral Bore, Gallhammer, or Janaza yet. All three groups are pretty awesome.

Vivian Slaughter from Gallhammer has been mentioned. Apparently Janaza is partially fake anyway. That band photo? Stolen from somewhere else.

[Moff Chumley]

I was talkin more about fistfights than anything else.

[Faulty]

Doom women always win fist fights. I think crusties might beat them though.

[Moff Chumley]

I think Kaki King is some form of martial arts grandmaster, though, just in case things head down that road...

Like, literally? D:

[Feytalist]

So I think it might be time to link these guys again. Local band from South Africa. I don't usually like death metal, but this guy's got the best death growl I've ever heard, by far.

The sound doesn't completely sync, but what the hell. You get the idea.

Huh, didn't register with me for some reason.

Yeah, crust women can get a little scary.

[grimbold]

Stop the presses folks! there is MONGOLIAN themed folk metal

:D

[Faulty]

Good thing crusties are super cool punks and not like... neo-Nazis. But then again NSBMers mainly stand around in forests, dressed in fake armour, looking inbred.

[Moff Chumley]

Your guys's crusties must be cooler than the sorts we get around here. I hate the crusties around here.
