>Metallica are sell-outs, Jerry! There is no "big four"!
>>221712835Testament should be in the big four instead of Anthrax, let's be real.
>>221712873True. I still like anthrax, even if Testament is more accomplished musically. Both Belladonna and Bush had great songs. The new album singles have also been pretty good.
>>221712835The musical talents of Slayer's members are mediocre at best. Arya can't sing. Kerry King's solos stink. The albums are mixed all wrong.
>>221713502based newman being correct yet again

So glad metal and dadrock are dead. It made cringe caricatures out of white men just as gangsta rap did to black people. Metallica has a Jewish drummer too. A lot of the biggest metal bands have at least 1 Jewish member. Now look into the studios that distributed and marketed their music. Makes you think.
>>221713562it doesn't
>>221712873>>221712977They are called the big 4 because they were are the biggest selling bands you dipshits. Not because you like one band more than another.
For me its slade
>>22171287380s anthrax was better than megadeth, metallica and slayer. dave mustaine is a shit vocalist and slayer and metallica's 80s albums sound flat and boring.
>>221713615How the fug did Anthrax manage to be best selling? Literally known for 2 songs and one of them is because it had hippety hop in it
>>221712835I fucking hate thrash metal so much. More like Trash. Slayer fucking sucks. Now POWER metal, *sips tea*, yup... That's metal. And not that modern dress up in a foam costume power metal either. Talking about Blind Guardian, Helloween, Manowar....
>>221712835I used to work with that guy stocking shelves overnight
>>221713667>POWER metalgay
>>221713641retard take of the century, time has proven megadeth was superior in every possible facet
For me? It's Annihilator first two albums only
>>221712835>Don't you find it funny that senators are blaming every group BUT Arabs for 9/11? >They're trying to retroactively justify it
how old were you when you finally grew out of this shit genre?

>>221713783never grew into it in the first place. all metal is shit
I like this :)
>>221713921it's THE shit
Slayer sucks.Anthrax sucks.Megadeth sucks except part of 1 album plus two songs. Mustaine should have found someone who can sing.Metallica sucks except three songs each on two albums. Lars and Kirk are both awful.
>>221713502South and Seasons would like a word with you.
>>221713594It's karma for the suppression of death metal and black metal following the 9/11 attacks
>>221713783around 2009 when i found out kpop existed and i never looked back
>>221713502100% of Slayer's talent was in Lombardo and Hanneman.
>>221713667power metal is the greatest subgenre of metal
>>221712835based
Metal is cringe
>>221713502Lombardo and Hanneman are brilliant
>>221713783Never really grew out of it, I just stopped actively looking for more bands to listen to. I still enjoy me some Dream Theater and I listen to Cannibal Corpse every few months.
>>221713502>Arya can't singGreat bass player though
If you like impressive instrumental performances, abandon metal and embrace a genre that truly fosters virtuosity: bluegrassor just listen to both like me
>>221714666Based and Rice pilled
>>221712835the faggot phenotype
what are some good metal bands and albums to listen to when lifting weights?
>>221714812Pantera
I'm just here for the metal recs. The only metal bands I'm somewhat familiar with are Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Metallica, and Mötorhead
>>221714666are u the devil from that gay song about the devil going down to georgia?
>>221714812Death - Human
>>221715028Listen to slayer and if you like them to morbid angel next
>>221714812High on Fire>>221715028Which of those do you like the best?
>>221715143Charlie Daniels is alright but he isn't bluegrass.Here's a good bluegrass song about dying and nobody giving a fuck and celebrating it anyway.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79dXFIIRtWY
went to a Metallica show in Budapest a few weeks back, the boomers still got it
>>221713783around 23
>>221713502Slayer is metal's id. They're the personification of the genre sonically and aestheically. The individual talents of the members are irrelevant. Also King's primal schizo soloing is iconic and atmospheric. It's integral to the band's sound. Slayer wouldn't work with neoclassical wank or saccharine melody.
>>221715179probably Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, or Mötorhead
>>221714666Bluegrass is kino
GOD HATES US ALLGOD HATES US ALL
>>221712835I love how improving the characters on Seinfeld's appearances has taken over this board in a few days.
>>221714342So how's your transitioning going
>>221712835Listen to real metal
>>221715511OP is already gay anon
For me it's Lamb of God recently
>>221713562Arguing about music without being specific about the music itself is one of the stupidest, most pointless things that you can do. Newsflash: everybody's taste in music is shit. Unless they're listening to exactly what person x is listening to, it's shit. It's almost as if it all comes down to very specific life experiences that cause you to value one sound over another and arguing about it is like telling someone that their life should be identical to yours.
>>221715535Top or bottom?
>>221715567Power bottom naturally
>>221713662I don't know but they were WAY more popular than fucking Slayer was.
80s metal honestly just sucks and there's nothing worth listening to before linkin park
For me? It's Doom Metal. Respect to Thrash and Death too. But the best is Electric Wizard, Dopelord, Reverend Bizarre, Acid Witch... slow and heavy.
>>221715605Nu-metal is not metal anon. It's pop rock with downtuned guitars.
>>221715687then all metal sucks and is exclusively listened to by smelly fat guys
>>221714812I listen to archspire, kanonenfieber, Gwar, dying fetus and some others.
fucking SLAYER
>>221715480im queer but not trans..
>>221715422Check out Savatage, Candlemass, Electric Wizard, The Sword, and Helloween maybe.
>>221715668Consider Industrial Metal such as Godflesh
>>221714666 Bluegrass is just acoustic death metal played in a major scale
>>221713783I didn’t properly get into it until I was 25. Never would have imagined I’d end up as one of those people who listens to extreme metal. It was unlistenable to me until one day it just clicked.
>>221712835Black Sabbath is the only good metal band because they weren't actually trying to be a metal band
>>221716062well they were the first metal band, there was nothing to try
>>221713615actually they're called the big 4 because they were the three biggest bands plus anthrax that just pulled a bullshit move and claimed they were a part of the 4 most popular metal bands
>>221712873100% agree. I'd add in Kreator as well. Their first 5 albums are all fantastic.
>>221716151>Scott rosenthal

>>221716235It's a good album.
>>221716235It predicted Djent
>>221713783I have several friends who love to brag about how they "grew out of metal". They listen to nothing but dogshit today.
>I just burned a church, Jerry
For me, it's Morbid Angel.
>>221713787t. has only heard Dragonforce and thinks all bands sound like that
>>221715550The important part is that they *do develop their musical tastes* as they live their lives.Barney music isn't on the same level as Miles Davis. If someone listens to music that's so basic I want to blow my brains out, I respect their taste a lot less than someone who listens to something I find unlistenable but at least has some kind of complexity.
>>221713876FiveOne less than Metallica
>>221716465
>>221716276KEK BASED
>>221715028Type O Negative is like Sabbath meets the Beatles, very fun
There was never a big four. There was Metallica and hen there was everybody else.
I like red metal.
>>221716847>MetallicaReally inconsequential band if you think about it
>>221714812goatwhoresanguisugaboggslayerswashbuckle
>>221716953Metallica are the only metal band to ever go diamond and they did it while not having to go pop or top 40 or water down the metal
>>221717088Talking about influence and creating new genres, not sales
>>221716930check out Annihilation of the Wicked by Nile bro, one of the reddest albums ever made
>>221712835Holy shit its my mailman
>>221717160Not really into death metal.
>>221716930Hey man Virgin Steele is one of the greatest. Neat to see you like them.
>>221712835>posting Thrash Metal on a Jazz Fusion board
>>221716930Me too
>>221712835
>>221717146how could Metallica not have major influence?
>>221715668I finally tried Bongripper after ignoring it for years because of the name. damn i was stupidshits actually great
>>221713502This is 100% true. However they still somehow made *some* alright music occasionally.
>>221713783I was a drummer in a metal band in high school.In my final year, (so i wouldve been 17ish) i bought bjork's "Post" album and Beastie Boys "Ill Communication" album and everyone tore me to shreds for being a fucking poofter etc.A year or 2 later i was into electronic music almost exclusively.
>>221713783
>>221716930Oh boy do I got a chart for you
>>221716133Top kek if you believe this. Bands were playing the blues with maximum overdrive before Sabbath
>>221717734Name three metal bands before them
>>221713783Hasn't happened, but that's because I'm not a gigantic faggot. >>221712873>>221712977testament is the epitome of boring, whiffle thrash. >>221713502t.retard>>221716465Absolutely basedAlso, Overkill fucking MOGS the hell out of most 80's thrash bands. Even their new album is great.
How about blue metal?
>>221717781The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who
>>221717852top kek indeed
>>221712835I always loved the "sellout" conversation in the metal scene. They really were convinced that 40 something dudes singing about demons and shit were actually very serious and deep counter-culture and not some consumer-oriented nerd shit like dungeon and dragons or comic books
>>221717913I'm glad some bands "sold out" because it means they could keep playing and are still around. Too many smaller bands I was a big fan of disbanded because they simply didn't have the time or money to keep doing it.
>>221717826Kino
>>221713594>dadrockYou need to be quiet and just say that way, man.
>>221717826Bretty gud stuff
>>221713594Lars Ulrich is Danish you massive retard
>>221717340They didn't influence anyone but Metallica cover bands lol. No one wants to sound like Metallica because Metallica fucking sucks
Hating Metallica is cringe and reddit.
Interpol, muse and breaking benjamin are the new hotness.
>>221718420>Hating Metallica is cringe and reddit.fuck those greedy fags. liking metallica is kissing boots boomer behavior
>>221713562Sure, but then 90% of Slayers albums are so uniform you couldn't recognize where one song comes over the other. I do love Disciple though. Their only redeeming album made in the past 30 yeas lmao.

Metal is the nectar of the nitwit

>>221718665
>>221717913>I always loved the "sellout" conversation in the metal scenethere was a difference between making a radio friendly hit or two to make a bag and doxing for fans for downloading songs
>>221718188Worse than just danish, his family were rich leftists. His dad is tied to all kinds of weird shit.
>>221717913Well the Iced Earth guy proved he wasn't just a sellout faggot for the money. He may be a retard but he truly believed in something.
>>221717216I went to prep school, you know I'm cool I found my dad face down in our swimming pool No matter how I try and fightIt's so hard being rich and white
>>221718691They were all pretty zesty.
>>221718884This image always cracks me up. This is what they looked like when I first heard about the band, but when I saw the image again 25 years later, I didn't even realize it was them from just the thumbnail.
>>221718903That was only for that shoot to promote the load/reload. They mostly looked like this during the mid 90's.
>>221718965>That was only for that shoot to promote the load/reload. They mostly looked like this during the mid 90's.exactly the same except (((lars))) wiped off his eyeliner
Ever Metallica fan I ever met turned out to be gay or became trans later in life.
>>221716235>Do you like St. Anger?I'm going to choose my words carefully here...it's the biggest piece of dogshit that I've ever heard
>>221719000Even james makes fun of lars.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_WmBp_XIm54
>>221712835True. Metallica have been fags for asl9ng as I can remember. Lars made them the biggest fags with the whole napster shit in the 00st. 40yo geezer
>>221719029Lulu was worse.
>>221719080>Even jameseven james got zesty. watched too many MTV Cribs episodes and said fuck it, give me the 'backstreet boy' look
>>221719169Handsome lad. No homo.
>>221719144Lulu kicked ass
>>221719144Lulu is better just because of Lou Reed. Its an album conceived in hell but Lou Reed makes it worth listening to at least once. He's an ACTUAL musician compared to Metallica... and his instrument of choice was the heroin needle!
>>221719169James was changing his look like almost every other few months in the late 90's. If you look at their live shows and interviews he looks like a totally different person in every video.
Green metal while we're at it. I guess the greenness is a little questionable in some albums, but it was harder to find albums. I also tried to do yellow albums, but only found about 10.
>>221719212looks like Adam Dunn's little brother. but somehow not liking this makes you reddit?
>>221719330The only green metal album I like.
>>221719323What is mads doing hanging out with metallica?
There is only one true answer.
>>221719366Type O is goth rock, not metal
>>221719370I really wish everyone didn't look down on me as a retard for liking power metal.
>>221719397It's gothic metal/doom metal, the later albums were a lot closer to rock.
>>221719370Why does every classic metal song sound the same? These guys, Metallica, Slayer, they all wrote the exact same song over and over and over again! How the FUCK did they get away with it?
>>221717826Missing In the Nightside Eclipse come on
>>221719397if you ever wondered why metal is dead, this attitude right here is what killed it
>>221719323>James was changing his look like almost every other few months in the late 90's>the late 90's>last good album in 1988matches up
>>221719406Here's the thing mate: you are a retard for liking power metal
>>221719424You can say each of those bands got stuck in a loop but they're at least all unique from one another, retard.
>>221719429Metal isn't dead by any means. (You) just fell behind the times
>>221719426Amazing artwork, but not a big fan of black metal.
>>221719449I never implied they all sounded alike. I said within each band, all their songs sounded alike. "Retard".
>>221712835AHHH NO WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?! W-would!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!
>>221719424All music is formulaic, first few albums are always going to sound similar and then there's that one album or in some instances periods where the musician/band/group try to experiment with new sounds that are divisive to their fan base.
>>221719454yeah it's not dead, it's just been atomized by hair-splitting fags like you to the point where it's completely irrelevant and ignored by anyone that isn't part of a tiny subgroup of "real metal".
>>221719516Naw, you're just butthurt that 20 new subgenres were created before you finished learning to play Master of Puppets
>>221719370Maiden hasn't made a good album in decades, their live shows are good though.
Jerry get ipad
>>221719552cope however you choose, not my problem. it's your favorite genre that's dead and buried.
>>221719561Your mom hasn’t made a good album in years.

>>221719584Well its not mine either, so...
>try listening to modern metal bands>it's all de-tuned guitars with non stop chugging and the occasional pinch harmonic coupled with endless blast beats, random ass time signatures and vocals that sound like claw from inspector gadgetHow the fuck did it get this bad?
>>221717656>into electronic exclusivelySoulless and garbage taste. Bjork vespertine is good though>>221714342Extremely cringeIf these are the people that grow out of metal im glad I still enjoy heavy genres. Could not be friends with or take people like that seriously
>>221719790>it's all de-tuned guitars with non stop chugging>How the fuck did it get this bad?splintered off into 100 different genres. smart guys went off to huff their own farts w/ odd time signatures and boring avante-gard crap. dumb guys stuck around playing drop d garbage. but it'll be back, right anon?
>>221719988>this post>with the roast beef sandwich guy attachedThe lack of self awareness on you is astounding. Do you even enjoy music or do you just use it to feel superior to others?
>>221720030>roast beef sandwich guy>>221719988>boring avante-gard craphow are those two things not congruent? i think we are in agreement but you just misunderstood
>>221716930>>221717826>>221719330This is why its hard for me to get past the surface level with metal. I love some of the iconic big metal bands but delving into it with charts like this is a big hill to climb especially when I listen to a lot of other genres (folk, punk, post punk, funk, hard rock, grunge, industrial, 90s alternative, post hardcore). Like what are the best 3 albums of each of these charts id appreciate that to get me started
>>221720294Just listen to Mastodon's discography and ignore all else
>>221713783had to google what it is and I'm 30.Have heard of Metallica tbf, thought they were German like Rammstein lol
>>221713667more like power bottom lmaooooooooooooooo
>>221720356Tell me Mastodon doesnt mog most of those bands, I checked them out years ago and was underwhelmed. Maybe it was the wrong record?
>new exodus song>black metal riffage and blast beats >then it becomes a generic exodus songSo close to perfection.
>>221720547>30 year old doesnt know what thrash isYou're proof that zoomers are out of touch losers. Im 30 aswell and Ive never had to "google" any 20th century genre, then again I like music
>>221713787i think all metal is ultimately gay, but this is 1000% true
>>221720592Most of their albums are pretty damn solid man, it might have either been their debut or the one that took a more hard rock influence that rubbed uou the wrong way. Try Crack the Skye or Leviathan
the only time i saw slayer some long haired faggot tried to do a prison rape during south of heaven and kerry king was a total fucking jew

>>221716151>they were the three biggest bands plus anthraxAnthrax sold more records than Slayer you dumb fuck. Slayer has ZERO platinum albums.
>>221712835As someone who’s listened to metal my entire life, from obscure crust punk black metal crossover, slam and Iron Maiden. I can’t stand metal fans. Every sub genre gets infected by faggots making metal for niggers who don’t like metal

>>221719516>where it's completely irrelevant and ignored by anyone that isn't part aww, did the little baby not get his societal approval?
>>221712835I don't understand how you can be a music critic. It's way too subjective.

>>221715028Unironically look at the dumb "try not to headbang challenge" type videos and just listen for shit you like then look up similar bands/genreshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID_g15fssJAyou run into some fun stuff you didn't know about
>>221723053Non music fags think shit like this, if you actually listen enough there are so many objective things you can take from every sound, basically majority of genres can have anything from 1 to 10s. Also soul is a very real merit and you can accurately assess it in most music, metal for example is only soulful in small areas because they choose to focus on other things than putting their soul into it
The big four are lars, james, kirk and whoever the bassist it right now.
>>221713594I hate that you are right.
>>221722445i heard bye bye beautiful on mtv forever ago and i loved it, i looked up later that it was some snub to their prior singer or something and went down a lore rabbit hole. good times
vektor, hooded menace, yobnowadays if I even put on music I just throw on necrophagist
>>221717913It kinda gets more true the deeper you go into obscure sub-genres. Nobody is making music that caters to an extremely niche audience and only sells a few thousand copies because they think it's gonna make them rich some day.
>>221719561You either like the post reunion alums or you don't. Very different sound. Rememher when they tried to do an "older sound" and we got No Prayer for the Dying, an album thst wound up so mid it made Adrian quit.There's gems in the newer stuff, but also a lot of samey garbage. Definitely a good live show. Seeing them one last time in fall because my son wants to see them.
>>221723145I don't see it. To me it either sounds good or it doesn't. Though I suppose the same could be said about film (not "getting" it).
>>221722445>>221723198The albums with Anette sucked, but Bye Bye Beatiful was a good song. Must be grim being "that singer" sandwiched between Tarja and Floor.

I don't care about a band "selling out", fake and gay artificial complaint. get that bag motherfuckerBut I fucking hate Sabaton.Literally the instant red flag that lets me know to shut off my ears when someone starts talking about them. I saw them in Japan and it was SABATON(TM) BROUGHT TO YOU BY WORLD OF TANKS(R). They had a projection screen set up behind the band showing all the lyrics to the songs (fucking gay) in shitty fire fonts over tank footage the whole time and they passed out little cardboard pogs or whatevr that had WORLD OF TANKS 1 MONTH TRIAL CODES on them, gayest fuckin shit I ever saw
>>221713641massive faggot retard
>>221713667Power metal is the absolute faggiest subgenre of metal there is.
for me, it's Manilla Road
The big 4 were all largely crap, except for Slayer's Metal Blade releases which are total classics.The genre was perfected by Sepultura, 1991 Barcelona is basically thrash perfected. Nothing any of the big 4 did could touch this, with the exception of maybe the Hell Awaits album:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zz8Jyt3zkM0&list=RDzz8Jyt3zkM0&start_radio=1There was really nowhere else to go after this IMO. Some people might say the German big 3 of Sodom, Kreator, Destruction but meh. Agent Orange was nice though.Extreme metal as a whole peaked with early death metal. Early Suffocation is exactly how Death Metal is supposed to sound like - an extension of Haunting the Chapel/Hell Awaits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbVL8XvOQp0&list=RDhbVL8XvOQp0&start_radio=1The genre has been dead and buried since the mid 90s. Triggers, Overproduction, it's all awful.
Kerry King is a talentless hack that is such a whiny vagina he makes Mustaine look levelheaded in comparison.
Megadeth > Metallica > Slayer > Anthrax

>>221712835do people ever listened to slayer unironically ? they have one goof riff raining blood and that's it. It was always more an act or a band you listened to to appear hard rather than a band you wanted to listen to.
>>221712835Rush is metal.
>>221712835Megadeth is the gayest of the bunch. I have no clue how it's even considered thrash metal.
>>221725858why do people post retarded shit
>>221723145Most shit sounds the same, it’s all navel gazing for posers.
Alternative Rock and Grunge are significantly better than 70s, 80s, and 90s metal.
>>221719424Are you genuinely so retarded that you're asking why bands sound like themselves? Or are you genuinely so retarded that you think Iron Maiden sounds like Slayer? Help me understand anon
Someone needs to tell Iron Maiden to either get a new singer or break up. It's fucking embarrassing how bad Bruce Dickinson sounds, even in the studio.
>>221726082And what of good Halford?
>>221719424Examples?
>>221726125He actually still sounds pretty good. Maybe can't hit victim notes anymore but still solid. Bruce sounds absolute shit since like 2012 and has only gotten worse.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwMZ20ZVZeE vshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLm-N6uMmpQ&list=RDiLm-N6uMmpQ&start_radio=1Maiden in general has fallen off a fucking cliff since Dance of Death. Sour sounding generic songs that are about 5-6 minutes longer than they should be. And I say this as a pretty die hard Maiden fan.
>>221725270I WILL NEVER PUT MY SWORD DOWNI WILL NEVER RUN AWAAAAAAYYYYYY
>>221726269>Sour sounding generic songs that are about 5-6 minutes longer than they should beFor example, the song I just posted. Cut out the first 6 minutes and the song gets dramatically better.
>>221725858You love those military riffs and graveyard solos
>>221712873What is the best Anthrax album to start with? Never listened to them.
>>221725874>>221726300Don't respond to literally the most obvious bait cmon
>>221726269Book of Souls title track was amazing.
>>221726311Spreading the DiseaseAmong the LivingPersistence of Time
>>221720547If Metallica were German they'd actually be good.
>>221726331Thanks bro.
>>221726317I disagree. I think that album is straight cheeks except for a few passages from the longer songs. I haven't even been able to listen to the newest album because Book of Souls was such a disappointment.
>>221714598i could teach an actual downs-syndrome retard to play bass, anon.
I only like this.
>>221713783never been into it. still listen to tsp, aic, mbv, the pixes etc. but absolutely no fucking bong bands
>>221726269Book of Souls in 2015, watching Bruce trying to sing Where Eagles Dare was the most cringe inducing concert experience I've ever had.
>>221713667>power metalIf I wanted to hear nerds and faggots talking about their D&D campaign I would listen to Critical Role.
>>221726436Based except guitar is cringe.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHdHwqxNv38
>>221726479>nerds and faggots talking about their D&D campaignBolt Thrower does this but the music is actually heavy.
When did it become the NPC firmware update to hate on Dickinson’s voice?
>>221726494>guitar is cringe.The vocals suck but Electric Wizard has the most kino guitar tone of all time.
>>221726557>Dickinson’s voice?Anon he's just totally aged out of his range + throat cancer. It sounds really, really bad. It's made even worse by Steve Harris refusing to down tune anything.
>>221715386They're just bad. Obscura by Gorguts is dissonant but goodwww.youtube.com/watch?v=1p03KeMM-_U
>>221726552>but the music is actually heavy.Heavy and mindlessly generic
>>221713667Gloryhammer's Space 1992 resonates with the Krull/Flash Gordon fan in me
>>221726652Why does everyone on the planet lick Transylvanian Hunger's balls? The songwriting is horrible. No memorable riffs and non stop blast bears.Blaze and Under were literal masterpieces but never get the recognition.
>>221726782Because the opening is amazing? You're being disingenuous if you're saying this isn't memorable and doesn't kick asswww.youtube.com/watch?v=KphlVeJX6fE
>>221714812Biohazard (Rap Metal)Machine Head (Regular Metal)Korn (Grunge Metal)Sepltura (Tribal Metal)Gojira (French Experimental Metal)
>>221713787impossible. Black and Death are listened to by emos and goths, and they're far gayer than power metal fans.
>>221726782>No memorable riffsThe riff on Transylvanian Forest is the riff that defined black metal
>>221713783Nah nigga, Metallica may be sellouts but they did make some likable songs before the black album, you may not be an sperg about it anymore wearing shirts and merch like a retard but you definitely not grow out of your rock/metal phase.
>>221713701>>221713787>>221720559>>221725250>>221726479Only jews and negros want to take White men expressing power in music and label as something gay.
>>221726946>emos and gothsThat's not even right but you're all wrong. Shit like folk metal is the gayest subgenreof metal l
>>221714812Amon AmarthDeicide God DethronedDark Tranquility (older albums)ExodusChildren of BodomMaybe some Morbid Angel or Death (Spiritual Healing or Leprosy if you are into rampages)
>>221727222 samefagI forgot to add Bolt Thrower and In Flames (older albums)
If you hate Slayer then you're not white. It's as simple as that.
Elders new album is fucking fantastic, a lot of you guys are stuck in the 80's which is cringe and unbased Also go to a fucking show, I've got Karnivool, Tesseract & Car Bomb coming up
>>221727254And Obituary. and Hatebreed.
Why is Florida so good for metal, anons?>Cannibal Corpse>Death>Savatage>Iced Earth>Obituary
>>221727374>Iced EarthJust because he's a chud doesn't mean you have to like them
>>221727374>Savatageim a pumpkins killers type but these guys are kino
>>221727399i dont care about that or that he wrote albums based of Spawn lmao
For me it's Strarovarius and Sonata Arctica
>>221727152>and the wiiizaaard rode on his gryph>to her lover the wolf cut goth baddie eeeelllff>she woorks in Gam'elsto'op>aaand she actually looves the wizaaard>despite the restraint orders from the eeeeevil couuuurrt!
>>221727374How do you mention Florida but forget Morbid Angel and Deicide?
>>221727920thread participation
>>221713502>SHOW NO MERCY IS THE GREATEST METAL RECORD OF ALL TIME
>>221728002Slayer's early stuff was so much better than Reign in Blood. Ridiculously better. I think that album gets praised only because of its insanely cool cover art.
>>221727920>>221727374For me it's Monstrosity and Malevolent Creation
it makes fags so mad that metallica pioneered thrash
>>221728282Hell Awaits, Haunting the Chappelle & Reign in Blood are the best 1s... slayer recordings are all shoddy amateur productions unfortunately https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhZ4ZT4Me5w
>>221728327and Resurrection - Embalmed Existence
>All these redditors filtered by power metal
>>221726845>Korn (Grunge Metal)They created Nu Metal
>>221713783I can enjoy it on occasion but only for a few tracks then I get sick of it.
>>221728341It makes me mad when James and Kirk are always weepy sadbois in interviews and Lars is annoying and sucks at drums. Their first 4 albums are great.
>>221728419hey buddy wanna listen to Agent Steel in my van and talk about it?
>>221728341Why does nobody make thrash metal anymore? Same with glam and nu metal. They were crazy popular for a brief period but died out.I can think of a trillion modern doom, black, death, power metal bands but not a single thrash one.I guess more niche genres have much stronger staying power.
>>221727374>Iced EarthMy favorite song was Damian.
anybody like Eternal Champion?
I hate seeing Metal albums with upside down crosses or pentagram on the cover even if they are not Black Metal.
>>221728471For me, it's Travel in Stygian. The original version with John Greely.
>>221728468>why no GlamHairspray damaged the ozone layer.
>>221728530Satanic symbolism looks fucking stupid on any genre but black/death metal. Or dark ambient.I cringe violently when mainstream faggots like Trippie Redd have a music video with bloody goat skulls as the music that's playing is the most inoffensive slop imaginable.
>>221719988>Mx-80 shirt>I wonder why Steve Albini likes this group, hope it’s not what I think it will be… lemme listenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XZDANgq2-g>it’s exactly what I expected.lyricsI was at a party when I saw a face that I’d seen beforeShe was rich and a bitchAnd she wanted to have funSo I said let’s goShe said “Daddy says no.”I said, “You better tell your old man to get some money in his handBecause you are about to getKidnapped”I’m talking about kid loveI’m putting on kid glovesTo get at your kid stuffLook, I’ll say it to youWhile I play it to youMy friends sayThey won’t payI’ll look so handsomeWhen they pay the ransomLook, I’ll say it to youWhile I play it to youKidnappedI’m talking about kid loveI’m putting on kid glovesTo get at your kid stuffLook, I’ll say it to youWhile I play it to you
>>221717216Apollonian vs Dionysian art forms
>>221717216Prog rock vs scumpunk type shit
For me its Devin Townsend!
>>221728461Great band! The 80s albums are classics and the revival era was really good too, but the newest one was ass.
>>221726728Hey I used to be mates-adjacent with Chris. He met his wife when she cheated on her then-husband with him on the 70k cruise. I think she did him a lot of good to be desu.
>>221726436What, no Witchcult?
>>221728435Jonathon Davis has arguably the best voice in metal from that era.
SSLAAAAYERRR!!
>>221714812Bathory, Power Trip, Cruel Force
>>221726436Now try Church Of Miseryhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYHb42yTIqo
>>221713783I'm turning 40 in a few days, and I never really grew out of it. I'm just too attached to old bands and sounds from the 70's to the early 90's. And considering music nowadays is mostly niggers, I don't think I'll ever leave my metal safeplace.
>>221714666Yngwie > hillbilly slop
>>221729566thank you anon i will>>221730610i'm 32 in a few days. happy birthday.
Here's my liked list if anyone likes shred and power metal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxkWTm8Nyh4i like metal that sounds like a fantasy adventure
