>>123112580Manic is garbage, they gave him far too much spotlight, which only adds to how much you notice that he's an utter failure compared to Attila.

>>123114800>Bolt Thrower is more popular than Opeth nowWew times have changed
as I get older I have to "decide" to get interested in bandsI think I would like to start the Opeth albums chronologically. I didn't for the longest time cus I wanted something more raw and didn't like the idea of being blindsided by clean singing, but I've heard a few songs and it seems real good. I just have to stop being an underground edgelord and not be afraid of good music
>>123114939It's my pick for AOTY. Amazing stuff!
>>123115112I have gotten into classic bands like Sabbath and Priest only a few months agoWhich songs did you like the most from Opeth?
>>123114916You must be a very normal and well-adjusted adult for you to have so many pictures and videos of things you hate on your phone while also not knowing where you are. Nothing weird about that. Nope.
>>123115138I don't remember cus the album was wicked long but I listened to most of Orchid and thought it was fairly well constructed fairly melodic death metal with lots of interludes and I dug that

>>123114063I've listened to this band a number of times and I still find it rather hard to say much about them. I suppose the reason is that there is never anything outright bad about it, and it has enough variety to keep me around, but also fails to really offer something particularly interesting to differentiate or justify itself. I think my favorite section of the album is for sure the pick scraps combined with a hammer striking metal right after the disney solo that probably didn't really belong on this album, but was well executed enough that I don't really think of it as a total fault. https://youtu.be/8e5aMt4gxGs?t=100I think the production on this album is also poorly implemented, its a bit too smoothed over for the sound they are aiming for. The pick straps are sharp enough, but the riffing tends to just feel like background noise. It puts extra focus on the vocals, which are are layered a lot, but the vocalists themselves lack variety and feeling; Teitanblood they are certainly not in that regard. The higher pitch one of the two is better than the repetitive lower pitch one which might as well been a copy paste every time he opens his mouth.The progressive and more intricate ideas are appreciated, but I can't help but wonder if they should have changed the riffing then. I suppose the point was either to add some depth to war shital, or to add some aggression to a progressive metal. I don't find what they did to be outright offensive, but maybe laying out bottom 5 fret caveman shit really is better with charging blasts rather than stop-start drum patterns. Maybe the solos, the dynamics, and the beauty just don't belong, no matter how much of a juxtaposition and contrast they add. Verdict: More industrial ideas like the hammers and scrapes, sharper production on guitars, lower drum volume, new and better vocalists, remove the remaining traces of disney, either simplify the drumming or do something else with the riffing.

Phil Tougas on his influences (direct quotation):>We are strongly influenced by all types of extreme metal, 80’s power/heavy/neoclassical metal, Baroque/Romantic era classical music, video game soundtracks, flamenco, etc. From Crimson Glory, Joey Tafolla and Apocrypha to Spawn of Possession, Martyr, Bach, Paganini, Paco De Lucia and F-ZERO X songsPhil Tougas on how First Fragment changed over time (direct quotation)>hearing some of these guitarists implement classical guitars kind of got my interested... this band Warlord mentioned his influences being Bach, Paco De Lucia, etc.. It made me appreciate these composers. The more time went on, the more these influences became apparent... Gloire Eternelle is the culmination of cultivating a rich ensemble of influencesPhil "Shredgod" Tougas on his favorite person composition (direct quotation):>My personal favorite composition of mine aside from Solus is In'elPhil Tougas on christian metal (direct quotation)>80’s Christian heavy/power metal is heavier and better than most satanic extreme metal bands.Phil Tougas about the early flamenco metal scene in Montreal, Quebec (direct quotation):>Turns out that, pretty much everybody were so-called "wankers", they were pro-shred, they were Bach fans, we cultivated this rich ensemble of influences
>>123116215ULTRABASED
Give me the best Poogas side project
A couple I saw were on 20 buck spin. Not promising

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjERW5edOyc>song about Zeldabased?
>>123116435Perfect music for YouTube link clickers here. They never understood music, or musical expression for that matter. They don't understand what is the essence art as opposed to cheap entertainment (video games) So this is exactly what kind of recs some people here want. They will ask you: >Zelda video games are my favorite games! Can anyone of you give me recs of some Zelda-themed black metal as I love evil black metal lmao!These are the new generation metal fans. They don't understand music as an art form, it is an aesthetic and YouTube link cheap entertainment for them.
>>123116485don't disrespect Tougas
>>123116500Don't know who that is and frankly I don't care. Mostly listen 80s metal, and some Doom from 90s.
>>123116485But that's a Tougas project and he listens to le heckin classical composers so it must be artistic and based
>>123116485>>123116511>>123116500Lyrics are not music, find something else to cry about.
>>123116510>80s metal, and some Doom from 90s.so, bands who drew from shit just as dorky as video game lore? Or is every metal band meant to write lyrics about philosophy tomes (which I swear I'm going to read)?
>>123116521Holy cringe
We hate wanking here
>>123116521Phil Tougas on Abrahamic influence in First Fragment (direct quotation)>There is none.
>>123116523>>123116524>Everything is allowed in metal ah blah blah bloo!There's a difference of bands like Running Wild using Pirates and (pirate) history and basing their albums around such a niche. I don't have to fucking argue you why it simply works as opposed to Pokémon black metal or Zelda themed black metal. Fuck off with that shit it's a fucking joke to any true people who get the essence of Metal. Literally leave the hall with your stupid Nintendo shit trying to appeal to some gamer crowd that never liked metal to begin with
Any good Pokemon black metal recs?
>>123116560hilarious because pirate metal is just the kind of lolsorandum bullshit that draws normies to metal in reality (e.g. Alestorm) as opposed to the windmill you're fighting with here.
>>123116560>I don't have to fucking argue Concession accepted.
>>123116521Probably tries to tell people there was no Lovecraft influence on Chth'eillist
>>123116622good. Lelcraft was the Dark Souls Lore videos of his day.
>>123116629Except Chthe'illist is JUST Lovecraft inspiration and nothing else. Besides the Zelda song tacked onto the end for whatever reason.
>Phil Tougas in reference to his musical influences (direct quotation)I am my own influence
>>123116578there's no good pokemetal sadly
We like nintendo games here.
>>123115406gay
>>123116596>>123116601>Everything is joke! Metal is a joke dont they yourself so serious HAHAHAh HAVE SOME FUN ANON!Look, I know this is a shitposting general, but you can use history themes like Reverend Bizarre using British history of Puritans and Oliver Cromwell and basing II: Crush the Insects on that theme. It's done tastefully - the theme actually works and happens to work with the music and not against itBands like Alestorm, or even Sabaton, use these things in a disconnected manner - to appeal to larger crowds. I actually consider Sabaton even worse offender in this case since their lyrics (and songs) seem to actually lack any sort of Inspiration behind the songs and seem to be some sort of condensed Wikipedia articles summarizations in the most basic and generic form possible. Alestorm seems to be some sort of a "beer party" band from the very beginning and perhaps has a career in touring various metal festivals as a sort of party band like there are others in the Folk metal genre. These bands have existed always, but they are not the worst offendersThe thing is that you cannot, and should not, take absolutely two disconnected things like black metal and Zelda games and go to Reddit to advertise "Hey, check out my black metal band that is inspired by Zelda games. I always loved black metal, and Nintendo because im a secret nerd LMAO!"You cannot create infinite amount of genres just by mishmasing two "lul randum" things in a confused mixture and presenting it to the public as having a coherent nature behind it. I don't know why it worked with cheap pulp fiction like Conan the Barbarian and some heavy metal bands using that imagery - and for that matter some Dungeon Synth black metallers using Tolkien themes - but what I know is that definitely go fuck off with your Zelda shit it's a fucking joke and I will never even give it a chance

>Genderbend Bizarreawful, awful noise

>>123116783I know someone who has toured as a member of Alestorm and this is accurate. They're also well aware their fans are morons.

>>123116815not interesting, not contrarian. he's just a child with a disorder.
>>123116815He didn't even listen to the song in question or read its lyrics - hence calling it black metal - just started immediately seething at an imaginary band (and fans thereof).

>>123116900Hell yeah brotherWHERE DRAGONS RULEso fucking epic
>>123116909Can't remember the last time I actually heard Sabaton, this is even worse than I remember
>>123116914Even in the case of bands like Summoning using basic fantasy like Tolkien as their lyrical inspiration, they never went as far to make the lyrics infantile narration like some Peter Jackson movies: >Little Frodo Mighty Man Ring of Power in His Hand Those themes are used in a vague sense with off hand references to the source material, unlike in the case of Sabaton that infantilizes and SENTIMENTALIZES history in the most basic and low bar wikipedia narration entry style
What’s the problem with vidya inspired lyrics? How is it any less ridiculous than lyrics about DND shit?
>What’s the problem with vidya inspired lyrics?
>>123116956Because it attracts legions of normalfags who just want metal to turn into one of their mindless mundane distractions, and is completely antithetical to the Faustian/Miltonian outsider spirit of TRUE metal. No, I don't have any examples of this actually happening so you'll just have to take my word for it.

>>123116956Because it is infantile. This is also why some anime posters on this site don't understand why some (western) people don't want to watch anime, or read manga, and think it is just some preference, when in reality there is actual repulsion because it seems like an infantilized version of the actual thing - even if some animes might have some 'depth' to their story, but the thing is that most people will never take such "movies" seriously because they unintentionally invoke the impression of cheap trash made for children and young adults.

It will be always viewed as something akin to a joke, or some sort of "hey check out this FUN band", musical equivalent of some low budget B movies with actors who cannot even act
>>123116560>>123116783some zelda games are pretty freaky and definitely could excert proper influence on a bm album.i like sabaton and a bit of alestorm. the former is just literally wikipedia articles become sport anthems>lyrics: shit>outfits: lame>music: confounding>enjoyment: guaranteed
Summoning is gay atmoshit anyways, their lyrical content doesn’t matter.
Summoning's - Stronghold, as quoted by Silenius and Protector, the creators of that album, note that:>The most commercial album of SUMMONING seeing it from the sound and songwriting. I think it’s simpler and less polyphonic than the others. It has a rather clear sound. A lot of the older black metal fans did not like this album at all, but on the other side we got a whole new younger generation which started to explore SUMMONING with this album. We also started to use palm mute riff in contrary to all albums before.Even the creators admit that it's less complex, less polyphonic, the least black metallish, cleaner sounding and the most commercial album of Summoning. No wonder many people who praise Caladan Brood also are of the same taste and audience who consider Stronghold Summoning's "Peak Album", while objectively Stronghold is perhaps their worst offering.This is real Summoning:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9ByvmHVIw0 [Open]What I hate about Stronghold is that when you never listened it properly back in the day, you kinda liked it and it was kinda mid, mid+ even.But then when you really start to listen it closely you notice all the weird shortcomings it has - repetition, simplistic and less polyphonic melodies, production problems etc. and way too lengthy songs - you notice it's actually something like mid- or low+ even and you can never go back to a time when it was kinda solid album. And it only gets worse every spin even if you listen it only like twice a year
Caladan Brood is Summoning but actually good.
>Because it is infantile. This is also why some metal posters on this site don't understand why some (high IQ) people don't want to listen to metal, or be TRVE, and think it is just some preference, when in reality there is actual repulsion because it seems like an infantilized version of the actual thing - even if some metal might have some 'depth' to its composition, but the thing is that most people will never take such "pieces" seriously because they unintentionally invoke the impression of cheap trash made for children and young adults
>>123117248Funny you keep posting that Caladan Brood albumIt's like neutered Summoning: all the commercial, easy listening and non-Dungeon synthy aspects of Summoning mixed with Peter Jackson LOTR soundtrack type of music and Hollywood choirs. The Redditor listens this and thinks: "It's Epic. Just like Skyrim. And those bearded warriors. I can dig this"Summoning never aimed for this sound, even though they gravitated accidentally towards this with Stronghold and Let Mortal Heroes Sing your Fame- But they got back to their black metal roots by the time of Oath Bound (that Reddit hates for it's non-listener friendly elements). It's no wonder Caladan Brood is North American band, many copycat bands in America take the worst aspects of their European idols/influencing bands and try to make a commercial offering out of itIt honestly is one of the worst albums I have ever listened - even something laughable like Eldamar is closer to the true feeling of Summoning
>>123117239>With Stronghold we made some changes in our style. The guitars became more dominant and became often the lead instrument of a song (and not just an accompany to the keyboards). The keyboard sound often sounded not like orchestra sounds, they sounded more like keyboard sounds. The sound of the drumcomputer was on Stronghold often more close to the sound of a "real" drum kit.>We don't have any concrete plans for the next Summoning CD; but we think we will make the keyboards again more dominant than on "stronghold", but I want to keep the guitar style of stronghold.Reminder that Stronghold is their best album and Caladan Brood mogs like half of Summoning's discography at least
Official, objective ranking goes as follows(from best to worst):>Stronghold>Minas Morgul>Old Mornings Dawn>Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Flame>Echoes of Battle (Caladan Brood)>Oath Bound>Dol Guldur>With Doom We Come>LugburzAny other ranking is not welcome here.

Utter Stronghold supremacy>inb4 oath bound seething faggot
>>123117572>t. garbage
>>123114063>muh birds
>>123117572One of the saddest things about Summoning - Stronghold is that you can never go back to a time when it was still kinda good album. First time when you start to notice the shortcomings and problems with the album you can not unhear them anymore and with every spin it only gets worse and worse to a point that even listening it few times a year makes it sound like Low-Mid tier record instead of simple Mid+ that it once was. Eventually the record loses all the charm and you start to hate itIt really is one of those albums that aged like milk and does not stand critical listening. The very definition of Mid, but Low+Mid- when you listen closely and pay attention. And the worst part is that you can never "undo" the damage done to the album's quality as you cannot unlearn critical listening, except maybe with dementia and hearing damage.Summoning's - Stronghold, as quoted by Silenius and Protector, the creators of that album, note that:>The most commercial album of SUMMONING seeing it from the sound and songwriting. I think it’s simpler and less polyphonic than the others. It has a rather clear sound.

>>123117716Utter brainlet spotted.>assume the band has the only correct judgement of their own sound>provide a cherrypicked example that doesn't even say anything the autist concludes>it backfires as I provide 4 times as much quotes stating that it is clearly their best and has been the landmark of their sound ever sinceI understand that you score low on IQ tests, but leave discussion to men.>The recording of "Stronghold" took a lot of time (about a month), because I wanted to get sure, that the CD will sound 100% as I want it to sound. After the recording of each song it was necessary wait some day to digest the sound of the new song (to get a distance to it), and then listen to the mix again. Often I had to make some corrections and again had to wait some days to listen if the songs is now perfect.>So for Stronghold I put all my inspirations in the guitar tunes and didn't add any additional keyboard tunes to the keyboard tunes of Silenius. I spent much more time in finding the right guitar riff than ever before, so that the guitar lines often became the lead instrument for the first time. That's why this album became so guitar orientated.>>123117722Stronghold is the peak according to every ear with a brain inbetween.

I went to a metal show once and all my hair immediately fell off. Never again.
>>123118002CDs have superior audio. There is a reason if you want to reproduce whole classical music orchestra with hundreds of instruments: it is done with digital equipment and the end product is going to be digital and preferably CD with Hi-Fi equipment to reproduce the orchestra sound. There has been studies done on this. You literally cannot capture all the instruments on vinyl so that they would be audible: instruments disappear when they are reproduced on vinyl because it cannot retain as much information as digital. It's a totally different thing if you prefer vinyl. Some prefer McDonalds over some high quality premium food. The analogue warmth and peculiar sound is due to imperfections and distortions, not because it is somehow superior: it is inferior format in terms of retaining captured sound, CD with high quality speakers like Genelecs or something will always sound much better without distortions, imperfections and unnatural bass response of vinyl.For example, there are known technical limitations in vinyl response, but the format is found to be "pleasing" by selected audience and they swear by it that it has some magic to it (literally inferior format when compared to CD)For example, if vinyl was somehow superior, why extremely accurate classical recordings are never done on vinyl? It's not for subjective reasons or some preference, the CD format has not been used for classical music in the first place by an subjective reasons, but for linearity and accuracy in reproduction.https://web.archive.org/web/20180917223601/https://www.emusician.com/how-to/mastering-vinylFor example if you buy vinyl and CD version of the same classical orchestral arrangement, you will not be able to discern and hear all the instruments that are clearly audible on CD. Vinyl might sound more pleasing for listening some sort of 70s music with 4 different instruments and it adds to "warmth" and harmonic distortion, but that only means it is less accurate. Keep coping.

I sold most of my vinyl collection years ago. It was a huge money sink and took up way too much room and I had already developed a digital piracy habit so I just leaned into listening to music on my phone and never looked back. I still have a huge collection of CDs thobeit (that I never listen to).
How agoraphobic do you have to be to hate live shows?

>>123118137>>123118084>>123118066I have nothing against vinyl t: >>123118044 but some of my friends literally think vinyl is SUPERIOR format which is not the case. Analog woo magic is one of the most dishonest money grabs in this day and age and some people even in production scene pay big money for ancient analog black boxes that could be achieved "inside DAW" using different filters and saturators, high passing and knowing what you are doing - for free.
>>123118136I spent thousands of dollars on Discogs buying that sort of thing from like 2013-2019, I ain't getting rid of them.
>>123118044In metal however every vinyl pressing has better DR ratings so whatever advantage CD's have over vinyl is lost. Don't ask me why this is the case, it just is.
>>123118175Give examples, you’d definitely get your money back by selling them with perhaps 25% profited
>>123118189Dynamic range is entirely a mixing issue, it has nothing to do with vinyl vs CD except that a CD with good DR will sound superior to an LP with the same mix.
>>123118189Most people have no idea what they are listening. I've posted this on before /prod/ before:Some argue:>Analog recordings will always be better on all-analog playback.All modern analog recordings were originally recorded on analog magnetic tape. Magnetic tape has a form of "sampling" by virtue of the recording media. Magnetic tape is composed of millions of microscopic magnetic "dipoles" and these dipoles individually "record" a "bit" of the waveform amplitude at that instantaneous moment. And then, the playback head gap determines the "resolution" of how finely you can "resolve" those magnetic dipoles and what magnetic field each of them have. Those of us who actually understand what is happening with analog don't have the same fascination for that antique technology.Not many even cherished 80s recs were done using full analog chain. Even early to mid 1980s. artists and producers were recording to and mixing/mastering in digital: think Sony PCM-1610 or DASH multtrack recorders.The evolution of analogue systems moved forwards to remove distortion created by the hardware and get to get as clean a signal path as possible. Digital systems provide that clean signal path but then we realised it was the distortion and saturation of analogue that give it that pleasing warmth/3D like sound (whatever). It all boils down to this fact: IMPERFECT analog circuits imbue an essential "organic" quality to music reproduction (literal errors) that are lacking in "sterile" digital chains that are more transparent and closer to the original SOURCE MATERIAL (no matter is it analog or digital).Ironically, many vinyl presses in the 80s had a digital delay unit placed in the chain - the output that was pressed to vinyl while the mastering engineer adjusted the input signal in realtime during cutting. Even those warm "analogue" 80's presses everyone cherishes so much were converted to 16 bit digital during the cutting process.

>>123118173I know, modern interfaces have preamps just as good as many prized units of old. Even if you like analog magic boxes, the emulations are getting pretty damn convincing (UAD stuff e.g.). IMO the only things really worth the money are mics, and maybe room treatment.

Most metal bands suck live. In fact I've seen very few where the entire set was audible. Most of the time you have clashing frequencies making the song into a giant mess. Prog bands like Opeth and BTBAM usually do a pretty good job of live mixing. Mastodon doesn't though. Death metal and Metal Core bands usually sound awful live
>>123118311Based schizobabbler
I never cared for the scratchy sound of vinyl.
>>123118319That's because prog bands are interested in making music, whereas the typical metal band just wants to make noise.
>>123118103Incel cope
>>123118276>Even if you like analog magic boxes, the emulations are getting pretty damn convincing (UAD stuff e.g.).Just by combining some of the UAD stuff with Airwindows filters, saturators, Texturizers - it's not just damn convincing - it's pretty much identical. It's the lack of knowledge, all these things can be achieved inside the box (DAW). But you have to combine, parallel process and literally simulate the whole analogue chain from beginning to end - to actually know what some real analog filters do the sound. Most people think they can just open waveform and put a tape saturator on the VST and call it a day, it doesn't work like that
>>123118386>>123118276This man is the final boss against Analog Woo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpNY3h54FzkYou need this type of knowledge to actually ditch all your analog boxes and embrace the Digital Age.

>>123118326I accept your concession
>>123118386>AirwindowsI love that guy. His tape simulator plugin is pretty cool, but it's not a one-step solution to sound 'analog' as you said. I've used actual reel to reel for recording and it sucked. Never want to do it again.

Acoustic music is more real than analog or digital and there is no place to hide. Controlled electricity is inherently foreign to the general human experience.https://youtu.be/ZPLbMLu8oxI?si=XqRMgJOHcbAsSEJC
>>123118208Yes but the fact remains that for whatever reason vinyls always have better mixing in metal. I have no idea why, but they are. Probably because metal is low iq.

Genuine question for the non-retarded amongst us: can metal ever be used as a genre influence in pop music in a non-gimmicky way(unlike for example Poppy)? Somewhat related, what is it about metal that makes it so hard to integrate into other genres but so easy for other genres to be integrated into it? I feel like if someone was to try to make a pop song that was influenced by metal it would end up being pop-metal instead of metal-pop. Feel free to call me a retard.
>>123119662Yes

>>123119626Why does this bother you, do you think?>>123119662There is plenty of metal that has been played on the radio and included poppy and approachable elements throughout the decades. Hair metal was the strongest metal ever was in this regard and also probably the peak of positive sexual energy in the genre. It was about the life force rather than the death force like so much extreme metal.https://youtu.be/swPt9HBRXuE?si=Ye5AGxjh2HQnbdWb

>hair metal is the opposite of baldcuck metalStart listening to hair metal
>>123119858Yes but hair metal is still metal first and poppy/radio friendly second. I'm think more like if someone like Charlie XCX made a song with metal elements, where it would be pop first, metal second.
