Melodic extreme metal is the best kind of music
>>129844966this is neither melodic nor extreme
>>129844966Yes but you should try an album that actually has melodieshttps://youtu.be/hGH2DlE_K9c
>>129845068If Dissection isn't extreme metal than what the fuck is?
>>129845068give us an example of what (You) think melodic extreme metal is then
>>129845068That's literally the definiteve meloblack album
>>129845178Dissection is pretty explicitly a trad metal band that just uses Black Metal and LHP aesthetics. Something like this is extreme metal that happens to focus on diatonic melodies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8cCsojD1Ck
>>129845230That's no more extreme than Dissection lolThe drumming and vocals are also terrible
>>129845255Oscar Clorio is a fantastic drummerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS-hTtJ5qfw
>>129845289This is what you choose to represent "fantastic" drumming? I mean it's competent. Definitely better than the other album, but nothing that stands out to me.
The 90s were a great decade for metal music.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir-jydmJHCc
I'll believe this as soon as there exists a band that displays true musicianship, can play off each other and improvise around their compositions, and didn't just rote memorize what little I learned in the music theory class I flunked in high school
>>129845704And of course if they can't do that it means that virtuosic jazz fusion remains the best genre and nobody can top Return to Forever
>>129844966I feel like this kind of thing is an exercise in half measures and I don't really enjoy it as a result outside of a handful of artists. Generally, I want my metal to be fucking metal and when I want melody I will reach for completely different genres.
>>129845738Metal has been melodic since forever
>>129845759Yes, and to use melodicity as a selling point means it's probably lacking in other aspects
>>129845880Why?
>>129845068It's melodic by any definition you ANUStard
>>129844966>metal>best kind of music
>>129845759Obviously. 99% of metal has melody, but I find that metal that leans on melody as its most important aspect is usually boring. Just my opinion.
>>129845934Boring if you don't like the melodies probably. It's like hating Tchaikovsky.
>>129845934>99% of metal has melodylol, lmao even>but I find that metal that leans on melody as its most important aspect is usually boring.Because it stuck in the Jazz pentatonicMetal is for manchildren it has artistry but it's the equivalent of reading "The Hobbit" or "Artemis Fowl" it's faggy af and for pre-Teenagers and Dungeons and Dragons and renaissance fair larpers. No, larping as a Nazi doesn't make it "mature" either. You are still a weak nerdy dweeb.
>>129845976The Hobbit is good fuck you
>>129845887Saying something like "you can actually HEAR the melody!" regarding leads is an insult to my ears and to guitarists who shred, Al Di Meola being the godfather of shred guitar after all, and it's probably cope that you can't shredand if your rhythms are "melodic" they're probably not very rhythmic, or heavy
>>129845976>the jazz pentatonicwth is that, both a lot of jazz and metal are hella chromatic or at the very least diatonic
>>129845997You're talking a lot of nonsense. I like shred guitar. Who doesn't? But mindless shredding isn't fun to listen to. Dissection has some shreddy parts, you know that right?>if your rhythms are "melodic" they're probably not very rhythmicLiterally what does this mean.
>>129846000He just doesn't listen to metal and as such he's uninformed on it
>>129846000>>129846018i mean blues. anyway metal is still for manchildren and sucks
>>129846018you're just not accounting for the considerations being made when an album is marketed as "melodic" as opposed to anything else, and if your instinct to avoid "mindless shredding" is to seek out a distinct modifier adjective instead of a better band, that just goes to show how interchangeable metal bands tend to be
>>129845976what is it that creates this kind of failed normalfag psychology. actual normalfags don't give this much of a shit about self-image
>>129846339It's the air of pseud haughtiness combined with trying to portray an aloof cool-guy all while posting on a Laotian potsherd forum.
>>129846248The vast majority of metal is not pentatonic blues licks lol
>>129846591yeah they add the minor third and now it's the metal scale
>>129846608This guy is MAD at diatonic melodies
>>129846339These people got bullied in school and instead of realizing that teenagers are just fucking assholes and growing up, the try to make themselves feel powerful again by claiming that their bullies were just right about everything and now they go and perpetuate that. Meanwhile their bullies grow out of that mindset all together.Or they're just actual teenagers.
>>129845976So, you're saying it has to be nonformulaic and /lit/ compatible to appeal to reddit crossover posters.
>>129845931i'm a metal hater born and bread but i've had to except in the last few years it's the only genre that never stopped pushing
>melodic>extremeThis is just folk music with some guy singing like a retard vomiting
>>129846756stop pretending to be retarded
Xasthur mogs
>>129845976TRVKE
>>129845230>Dissection is pretty explicitly a trad metal band that just uses Black Metal and LHP aesthetics.this, if you wanna listen to a murderer's black metal band then check out Emperor
