>>130022695>It's one of the few Gamma Ray songs not written by Kai Hansen, that's why it sounds so unique.Interesting, I had no idea about that. It's one of my favorite Gamma Ray songs too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeqanCzDvV0I love the vocal duo in this song.
glam metal is becoming more and more of a guilty-ish pleasure of mine
BLASTING
>>130029952do the harmonies on In My Dreams sound busted to you too
>>130030247What do you mean by busted? It sounds great to me. Insanely catchy.
>>130030223>>130029952I went from being a glam metal apologist to believing most of the hate is justified lmao Actually delving into glam discographies made me realise how much of it beyond the well-known/popular singles is just unremarkable. It really is mostly pop metal with the occassional decent song. It's the only metal genre that's never had a decent revival for a reasonAlso idek why it's even called metal when every normalfag I've met thinks of it as just 'rock'>>130030247Just listened now, did you mean the vocals around 3:20?
Redpill me on Danzig
>>130026121Gamma Ray - Somewhere Out in SpaceIron Savior - Iron SaviorLake of Tears - A Crimson CosmosOcean Machine - BiomechSaxon - Unleash the BeastU.D.O. - Solid
>>130026245>Geezer · Black Sciencehis band on metallum is listed as sludge+industrial, so i'll check that out for myself>>130030833>Lake of Tears - A Crimson Cosmosi'll listen to this one too since this band is consistently tagged as some flavor of goth metal
>>130031483A very blue chart so far.
>>130031483I don't know enough about either subgenre to tell but here's some choice tracks. They rip pretty hard so even if it's vetoed you'll prob still enjoy the musichttps://youtu.be/kXfZkVJ8jKMhttps://youtu.be/2RHXcCiyySchttps://youtu.be/ipVmLuhdr8Q
>>130030833>Ocean Machine - BiomechOh shit, forgot about this. Seconding!
>>130031758i'm actually listening to it right now lol>They rip pretty hard so even if it's vetoed you'll prob still enjoy the musicso far there's only one song i'd say is actually /trad/ (#4), but i do really like this album so far, especially box of six and department s. >>130031761you got it
>>130028895>It's one of the few Gamma Ray songs not written by Kai Hansen, that's why it sounds so unique.Most albums had 4 or 5 songs not written by Kai, so there's not just a few songs not written by him.
>>130030223not /trad/ at all but this was pretty good, slows down a bit with the final few songs though, those last three just feel like padding.
>>130032034Can you explain why it isn't /trad/? I don't mind it being vetoed, I'm just curious and would like to gain a better ear for discerning if this type of music isn't fit for the thread
>>130026121Conception - FlowElectric Wizard - Come My Fanatics...Gamma Ray - Somewhere Out In SpaceHammerFall - Glory To The BraveIron Savior - Iron SaviorDevin Townsend - Ocean Machine: BiomechRhapsody - Legendary TalesStratovarius - Visions
>>130032057there's a few songs that are groove metal, but overall most of its industrial. there's a lot of sounds and riffs throughout many of the songs that try and emulate the sound of metal clanking together, a lot of bouncy, chugging riffing; and some of them just outright eschew traditional metal and rock structure altogether. (e.g. mysterons, northern wisdom)
here's a few examples of what i mean from the first song. these kinds of sounds pervade through much of the album, and you just don't hear this kind of stuff in traditional metal/rock. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GZi4LGPQsEhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GZi4LGPQsE&t=120s
>>130030223The amazing thing about Riot is that they refuse to release bad albums. Even this one that I overlooked when I first listened to their discography is pretty good. It's obviously not as good as their best stuff, but still.
>>130032122counted your votes, here's the new additions
how the fuck is ocean machine trad?
>>130032323Read the pastebin in the OP.
>>130032231fav track on there is Kings are Falling
>>130030331>Also idek why it's even called metal when every normalfag I've met thinks of it as just 'rock'That's true, most glam bands lean more towards rock than metal. Motley Crue, Ratt and Dokken are probably the metalest of the lot.
>>130032431>Motley Crue, Ratt and Dokken are probably the metalest of the lot.just about right, but personally i'd switch out ratt with skid row. much of their first album has metal riffing up the ass and SttG is barely even a glam album, more so traditional hard 'n' heavy. ratt meanwhile, the only things that they've put out i can really say are metallic are the debut EP and out of the cellar.
>>130032475Fair enough. Out Of The Cellar is my favorite glam album by far so I have soft spot for them. And they were definitely one of the heaviest bands of that whole scene, at least up to the second album, which I do think is still very metal. After that they did tone down their sound, yeah.
>>130032554>Out Of The Cellar is my favorite glam album by far so I have soft spot for them.that one's high up there for me too, but i'd say i have to give it to shout at the devil. it's the only album vince neil actually sounds somewhat decent on and all the songs are at the very least pretty good. i like out of the cellar but there's a few songs that i'm just not strong on.
>>130030223awesome album, there's a lot of cool riffs here and i like the more space-y atmosphere compared to what you usually get in stoner metal. nominating.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv658dbCiyU

>>130026121For me 1997 is all about Speed Metal Satan!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2qHo56bKpE>>130030833I'll vote for Lake of Tears, great album.
>>130033391Forgot pic, lost focus due to roaring chainsaw
>>130026121Varathron - His Majesty at the SwampLord Belial - Enter the Moonlight Gate
I better see more people nominate this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a61flWBhi2I
>>130030331>Also idek why it's even called metal when every normalfag I've met thinks of it as just 'rock'Cause metal is a rock subgenre and not all metal is super heavy

>>130030223>>130035326wrote 'em down
>>130030247not sure if this relevant but I think they didn't tune to A=440, can't confirm for the entire album I know at least for Unchain the Night
>>130029952>>130030331I love glam but only by the bands that could do heavy if they really wanted to. Dokken obviously with songs like Tooth and Nail, Lightning Strikes Again etc. Also others like Ratt, Whitesnake + Blue Murder, White Lion, Great White, TNT, Leatherwolf, etc.

>>130032689I like every song on OOTC but can't say the same about any other glam album. The first two Crue albums are very good but there are some tracks that I don't care much for. We seem to be opposites in this regard! lol. The Crue songs that I like I like a lot though, total bangers. My favorite on Shout might be Bastard.
>>130032760That one is awesome and criminally overlooked album.
>>130030223https://youtu.be/fTvKX_zCOx4?si=CFzR9TuF8L-32Q8khttps://youtu.be/WM8bTdBs-cw?si=2aR1xbMHKyGM3c-jhttps://youtu.be/rdEupVsL07E?si=rCZoUFtw349zStFFhttps://youtu.be/LQUXuQ6Zd9w?si=9q5A_t7p_d-UHH-0https://youtu.be/1w7OgIMMRc4?si=o43yDA6fVLT79H18
>>130037283>My favorite on Shout might be Bastard.used to be mine as well, but now i think that goes to looks that kill. i also listen to red hot a fair amount, too. it's probably their heaviest song and there's some pretty nasty riffing in it.
So.... why did the metal thread split up?>inb4 blackies are retarded
>>130043621Have you been to /metal/ in the past 10 years or so? It's a mental asylum. Literally no music discussion.
>>130043725Only on & off, but yeah fair enough i guess
People that exclusively listen to death or black metal tend to be posers
>>130026121HammerFall - Glory to the BraveGamma Ray - Somewhere Out in Space
>>130026121Nominating W.A.S.P's (kinda industrial) 1997 album:>KILL FUCK DIE
>>130046237lemme go give that one a listen
>>130046253Here's the list of tracks:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_Fuck_DieJapan had a bonus track call Tokyo's on Fire.It's not really connected thematically (in terms of lyrics) to the rest of the album, but its a cool track.
>>130046284yeah i got it playing right now, on track four. personal thoughts, so far it's pretty alright. blackie's voice fits the music well and there's some pretty good riffing in the second track and this fourth one.
>>130031740Inspired by this post, I made a chart with some of my favorite blue/dark albums.
>>130046422>the spectre withinhell yeah, easy top 15 album for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-5P7PWkvFYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EAKeQsuSNM
>>130030223some of the songs are fine (e.g. #3, #9) but most of this record is industrial or a 50/50 mix. cool album though, i really liked the horror and blackie's singing was fantastic across the board.
>>130046284>>130046365Idk if it will be relevant, but I will say that "Fetus" seems more like an intro to "Little Death" than its own full fledged song.
>>130046850yeah that's what i counted it as, just the beginning part of little death.

What's your guys' favorite song on NaritaFor me it's 49er
>>130047525road racin’ followed closely by the title track, both two of my favorite songs
>>130046627The horror is probably one of the more industrial tracks. Personally my only real complaint about kfd is the mixing of the synths on the tittle track and my tortured eyes. It's hard to hear the (bass?) synth after the intro on KFD, and its hard to hear the organ/synth after the bridge on My tortured eyesI'm probably one of the few people with this opinion, but its basically my favorite wasp album.
Is there any metal band that mostly cover old C64 and Amiga tunes? A lot of those tunes translate very well into heavy metal songs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq_CiM3AvtIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5chiJ8UKo6Uhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAtCreE-f9chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp21EfCGeLI
