Metal music thread? Anonymous 21423

I'm not sure if there's enough of metal enjoyers on here, but I wanted to make a thread for a long time now so here it is

You can just send a song(s) that you like or complain about anything metal related, etc.

Anonymous 21424

I'm a metalhead myself but I'm not very into black metal, I hope you don't mind.

My favorite is power metal. I like thrash and classic heavy metal as well. I think anything from the 70s to the late 90s is good for me.

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion but I liked Black Sabbath's 13 a lot. It was the first metal album I got physical, as well.

Does Blind Guardian count as metal? They're always listed as prog or power metal but half the metal fans I talk to seem to scoff at them?

I don't mind anon, I just used the picture cause it's funny.

>My favorite is power metal.

I don't really like it because the music most of the time is too corny for me, at least the modern stuff, and the album covers are even cornier. I do enjoy some Blind Guardian stuff and their Battlefield song is epic but in a good way.

>I like thrash and classic heavy metal as well.


That's very cool. Thrash is always welcome.

>I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion but I liked Black Sabbath's 13 a lot. It was the first metal album I got physical, as well.


I don't think I've ever actually disliked anything Black Sabbath did. it's better than what a lot of other famous bands do, tbh.

Anonymous 21430

Yes, of course they do lmao
They're power metal, only some of their albums are considered prog metal as well
>half the metal fans I talk to seem to scoff at them?
it depends on what kind of metal fan they are. They're generally separated by genre. Power metal fans will agree that they're power metal and Blind Guardian is one of the more popular PM bands. Maybe you got those reactions not because of that but because the guys you asked are extreme metal elitists (pretty annoying thing in the metal community)

Anonymous 21432

Yes I think this is it. A lot of people just really don't like power metal because of the cheesiness of it. I think most people who like power metal like BG though. I like both power metal and metal that is more extreme and high energy, I find it really cathartic. I get a lot of pent up feelings and energy and that kind of music just lets me let it out. I am not really big on the more atmospheric type stuff.

I thought this was common knowledge haha
Generally, extreme metal (death/black metal) fans and power metal fans don't mix
>I think most people who like power metal like BG though.
Yeah, they're probably one of the best, most influential and least generic PM bands out there (or used to be, depending on whether you like the direction they went or not). They're highly regarded among PM fans.
Speaking of power metal, Rhapsody NOT of Fire is also one of the most influential, but their style is quite different from BG's. Sadly I've listened to their first saga for so long that I've gotten bored of it and I refuse to listen to anything they've released past that.
Another great and influential early power metal band is Helloween, though I'm not that big of a fan, but I still enjoy them. Blind Guardian seemed to rip off their style a bit in their early days.

I would say I love most metal, but my favorites are symphonic, melodic, folk, speed, and especially power metal. I think Im really attracted to the general themes of these genres, like fantasy, being strong, being there for others etc. It honestly pumps me up to be a better person and be strong (and majestic), its awesome!! I am honestly glad that music exists, I feel like I couldn't live without it. Also, I really appreciate the album art that these sort of bands have. It reminds me of the early 2000s and the rise of PC games that were specially centered around fantasy. I never played any back then, but I loved seeing the commercials for them and the graphics. Its just really nostalgic for me, and it fills a now warm place in my heart. <3

also I just want to drop this here, but I love exploring genres, bands, artists, etc And there's this really useful website called Encyclopedia Metallium: Metal Archives. I use it a lot when I am looking for new bands

Why do so many metalhead moids despise female vocalists? Is it really because moids just hate everything that a woman does when it doesn't fit into their idea of femininity?

There's no reason to hate female metal musicians, just because they can't do growls as deep or loud.

Some of them come across as borderline homosexual because they have a disdain for normie women but can't stand a metalhead one either.
I kinda get that it's typical for moids to sperg out when they see a woman interested in the same thing as them, but it offends me even more because I don't want to meet a metalhead guy only for him to start quizzing me to see if I'm the metal gurl of his dreams or another bitch whore slut poser

I remember once I was at a karaoke night, and a chick got up on stage and did 'total eclipse of the heart', but out of nowhere she started singing the chorus in throat growls. She did it really well, so the crowd naturally went wild, male and female audience members alike.

Judging from this reaction, I would say that it's probably just moids who spend most of their time on the internet who like to gatekeep metal (or any genre), whereas most guys you're actually going to meet irl probably don't give a shit about the artist's genitals, and instead prefer to focus on whether the music's enjoyable. Then again, I've never actually spoken to that many men on the issue.

>I don't want to meet a metalhead guy only for him to start quizzing me to see if I'm the metal gurl of his dreams or another bitch whore slut poser

Moids unironically think it's impressive when they can rattle off hundreds of shit bands; they're boasting about how great consumers they are lol.

please tell me about this one more, preferably heavier/noisier stuff

Anonymous 31142

>>31140

Sorry, was asleep.

There are foundational groups of industrial metal particularly Ministry and Godflesh. They drew upon the influence of musicians like the ones in Throbbing Gristle, Monte Cazazza, Swans, Big Black, (although they are more punk tbh) Nine Inch Nails and The Young Gods. If you like noisy stuff do check out The Young Gods too. The consequence of industrial influence in metal is that there are many formulaic pop style bands which is not a bad thing but you want noisier stuff, I gotchu' I love that shit. Tristwood for example, they play blackened death metal with keyboards and such but it has an air of a freak accident chain reaction taking place at a low budget, third world steel mill. Then there is Mechina whose work blends a lot of styles without sounding like nonsense, particularly their album Acheron is good. It's a bit djenty at times but they've made it tasteful. Deathstars are good too, the band includes Jon Nodveit's brother Emil, they're not really metal but them alongside Dope in the U.S got me into the genre when I was 12. There's also Gorgonea Prima, if you want something noisy this is something you will love, Anaal Nathrakh too. For something more "anthemic" there is the band Dope Stars Inc. or The Kovenant. There's lots out there but this preliminary list will get you through to the underground in no time. Hope you enjoy.

Anonymous 31147

thank you for this list nona, i'm really not a metalhead but i had an industrial metal phase (sadly i didn't really reach deep enough) so i'm looking to expand my taste into more metal and industrial metal seems like the most logical step to me as a noise enjoyer. i will check your recs out and will possibly report back itt

There is a real overlap between power metal and black metal fans though not so much with other genres of extreme metal. I know a lot of people (myself included) who started with power metal and then gradually worked their way to black metal. A lot of black metal bands rely heavily on synths and have fantasy themes just like power metal, it is just more bleak/mature/heavy.

I still listen to Blind Guardian sometimes but bands like Sabaton or Powerwolf just sound like annoying anime music, and have a fanbase of lame 14 year olds.

Here are some BM songs that I think a power fan could like.

I find it funny that metal fans used to complain about pop music and even some rock because it was formulatic and repetitive, but modern metal has become exactly the same, just a bunch of bands trying to sound as fast/agressive/loud as possible ignoring basic music concepts.
Even the heavier and more extreme genres used to have a great sense of rythim, harmony and melody, but that seems mostly gone.

Of course, not every modern metal band is like this, I'm just talking about the general trends.
