Thoughts on the band Paradise Lost?
I stop at Gothic.
>>129978916why do bands still do these godawful photo shoots
>>129978963Their last year album is pretty good
>>129978990cuz it's kino
>>129978916They peaked on Lost Paradise. The Gothic stuff is okay but not as good as the debut.
>>129978990You can tell a LOT about what type of music a band makes from their photoshoots. Like not the actual genre or anything but it's easy to get an idea of how cheesy/cringey it'll probably be.>>129979304This one for example I can say with 99% certainty is a band that makes cringe music. Any adult that still dresses like that well into their 30s and above is a goof>>129978916This one is a bit harder to say, feels like it could go either way. The two in the front I could see being in a really cool instrumental band or something. But going by the band name and the look of the two guys in the back I'm going to say they probably make mediocre music too.Someone should post tracks from these artists I'm curious to hear them now after writing that all out

>>129979785Oh god, that's even worse than I expected lmao. I looked up pics of them younger and it makes sense now tho. Guess the older they got the more their fashion sense mellowed out but I imagine they still make the same type of music.But listening to the song more the instrumental isn't actually all that bad, I just really don't understand how grown adults are writing and singing these types of lyrics
>>129979832You're a fucking faggot. Get over yourself.
>>129978963This. I tried Shades of God and Icon a few weeks ago but I only got a few songs into Icon and ended up deleting them both.
>>129979832Do you like Extreme Metal or Death/Doom? Give Lost Paradise a spin:https://youtu.be/t9XzCWeIn-E
>>129979871Oh wah wah go listen to your doomer-esque lyrics and cry about it>>129979888I don't really listen to much metal these days, like at all. The last metal band I remember being into was probably Monolord which I guess is doom metal? Skimming through what you posted I feel about the same as the other track, I actually do like the instrumentals but the vocals I just can't get into. That's the one thing I never minded about Monolord since their vocals were always in the back of the mix and were never so obvioushttps://youtu.be/rCc901E02eY
>>129979953This ain't the topic for it but I suggest asking /trad/ for recommendations. Alternately, you can check out RYM because that community is packed with lifelong metalheads. I can only recommend bands with prominent vocalists, but if you like Doom Metal, give Penance's Parallel Corners a go. The vocals are going to test you but the riffs are superb. I'm into Metal for the riffs.
>>129979988Thanks but I'm not really looking for metal reccs, just not what I'm into at the moment
>>129979997Have you posted a topster chart yet?>>129838242
>>129980039I'm not posting in your bot thread my guy
>>129979884I've also tried those albums many times over the years, I don't think they'll ever click for me. To say nothing of Draconian Times or One Second, which I find almost painful to listen to.
>>129978916Great band with varied discography, I like how they went back to their death doom roots on their later albums and still write strong materialI saw them live twice and they play their songs pretty wellIt's also interesting how they still hav had the same 4 core members for over 30 years and only changed their drummers
>>129979313That's their worst though>>129979884>>129980173Do you even like other goth metal bands like My Dying Bride, Draconian, Theatre of Tragedy, Type O Negative or Katatonia?
>>129980039I see you have TON and The Gathering in your chart so you like some other goth metal then
>>129980590I like some, yes. Saviour Machine isawesome, too. I hate Corset Metal.
>>129978916I find it odd how they are so infulential and they still maintain a decent following yet I rarely see people here or in the metal general talk about them on this board. I guess they aren't cool or kvlt enough for people here.
>>129980617Yes most corset metal like Lacuna Coil or Within Temptation is too cheesy, I like doom inspired stuff the most
>>129979785vocals are honestly horrific. yikes.
>>129980867First time listening to harsh vocals?They have some songs with clean vocals toohttps://youtu.be/urugx_wSBy8?is=a0JqRmeIDaiMtVQAhttps://youtu.be/JMxZfDacPzg?is=-tqWzI74s1oaDgRt
>>129978916I like their vocalist in Bloodbath
>>129978916my dying bride mogs but gothic and shades of god are 10/10 albums.gregor mackintosh is a genius and has at least two sick solos on every album (except the ones who don't have any)
