Calling All Metal Fans

I can't believe I haven't seen this thread before! Way to go OP!

As a formally trained musician, I love, listen to, and appreciate all kinds of music (jazz included), but metal is among the more fun ones to listen to for me. I thought I listened to some pretty heavy stuff, like Pantera, Slayer, Killswitch Engage, Meshuggah, Tool, Metallica, etc. until I met my SWMBO. :-D

First time I met her, we were talking about music we were into, and she said, "Oh, Slayer? Yeah, they're pretty good- kinda soft though." That's when I knew I had someone special on my hands.

She's from a Norwegian background, and has subsequently schooled me on the likes of:

Dimmu Borgir (far and away her favorite)
Behemoth
Amon Amarth
Finntroll
Mastodon
Korpiklaani
Death
Dethklok
Enslaved
In Flames
Dawn of Ashes
and more

And I thank her kindly for it!

Cheers

I just recently learned that Arch Enemy's vocalist is female. I had no idea. I'm not sure how to feel about it, but I'm still using them to fuel my intense gym sessions so it's all good

Wait. You now have mixed feelings about a band you enjoy, because you now know the lead singer is a woman?.............

Overkill is still one of the best live bands around. I have been listening to old bands from my younger days.

Nasty Savage
Savatage
Metal Church

Well I just received a promo for the new Christopher Bowes project Gloryhammer and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed! Don't get me wrong, I liked the majority of the stuff he did with Alestorm but it never really blew me away like this Gloryhammer record just did. Sorry for the cheesy video but it's all I could find on utube...

I love songs that get more complex the deeper you dig into them. That one is about Elizabeth Bathory, the infamous Blood Countess. The lyrics make far more sense after reading about her... Not a very nice lady.

Ah yes, nothing keeps one's skin soft and supple like bathing in fresh virgin's blood once or twice a day, or so I've heard.

I love the new Shining album. I've been listening to Mgla a lot recently.

The intro is absolutely amazing, exactly what I love in music. The growling lyrics put me off unfortunately.

 

[andycr]

Do you like pirates? Do you like metal? Do you like epic music videos? If you answered yes to any of these questions...

 

[hatedheretic]

heh, Alestorm; i've got one of their albums....and one was enough..

One of the greatest metal bands of the 90s barely anyone has ever heard of...

(one of my proudest vinyls to have obtained, next to my Down-Nola vinyl)



The band's bassist died in an MVC which led to the demise of the band. Through this eventually rose Nola black metal legends Goatwhore, and one of my favorite albums of all time,

Agents of Oblivion (stoner rock)

i could listen to this track till the end of time..


cool vid for a song from one of their demos that was never put on the polished album


trust me, all metal fans for some reason fall victim to falling in love with Agents; such a hypnotic band once you start listening...

i could go on and on especially about Dax Riggs related projects..

Not this one.

Acid Bath's pretty solid though, I like most of their stuff.
