Metal: Your favorites
 

as we all know now, metal is much much more than big hair and spandex. there is as much creative and brilliant music coming out of metal just as much if not more than all other types of music as of 2008. With that in mind, what are your favorite genres of metal, and your favorites artists from those categories...

Mine: (note, Slayer was, is, and always will be not only my favorite metal band, but one of my favorite bands perfect. When creating music whether it be in a band or just jamming on the guitar, I seem to always want to incorporate either their speed, intensity, riffs, etc... more than any other bands. Unforunatly, thrash doesnt fall into my favorite categories of metal, so i had to make a side note for them).

When it comes to metal, i tend to love either the extremly fast, grindcore, or the extremly slow, sludge/doom/drone, whatever.

Favorite Grindcore Bands (as john zorn says, grindcore is the freejazz of metal):
Early Napalm Death
Early Bolt Thrower
Discordance Axis
Early Carcass
Anal Cunt
Agoraphobic Nosebleed
Nasum
Pig Destroyer (the best metal band going right now in any genre imo)
Orchid (only sorta grindcore but it fits)
Red Chord (some say their death metal, some say theyre not, i say theyre grindcore, feel free to disagree)
Spazz (spazzcore is just a weirdder version of grindcore, and that very very weird)
Psycho
Meat Shits
Daughters (birthday party meets grindcore, very cool, check em out)
Fuck on The Beach (more thrash than grindcore, but i always feel compelled to mention them cause theyre just so RADICAL)
Burnt by the Sun
Zeni Geva (more noise than metal, but for some reason i once again felt compelled to put them here cuz theyre so fuckign RADICAL!!!!)
Takaru

Fave Sludge/Doom/Drone wateva Bands:
Black Sabbath (DUH!)
Melvins (DUH!)
Earth (DUH!)
Godflesh
Sleep
Isis
Old Man Gloom
Sunn o))
Boris
Khanate
Weedeater
Eyehategod
OM
Saint Vitus
Soilent Green

i also like some death metal:
nile
early morbid angel
early death
early obituary (i heard some ass kickin death noise band with the drummer from obituary and andrew wk, anyone know the name to this?)
assuck (sorta like melodic death)
meshuggah (like math death metal, but most prolly have heard them anyways)

well, im spent, you guys can divulge now...

necrophagist
cryptopsy
severed saviour
gorerotted
vomitory
le scrawl
+lots of bands you mentioned

Duaghters is fuckin' great. Khonate rips my balls off. It really is hard for me to listen to it for more than ten minutes.
Everything from your doom list.

i forgot cryptosy in death metal section. ...And Then Youll Beg is death metal in its finest form, violent, technical, and brutal as FUCK.

motorhead

i also just cheked out genghis tron who were on crucial blast and are now on relapse, and i must say, they totally sound like EVERYTHING i had envisioned for my brother and i's new band. incoroporating electronics and no wave and idm and all this shit into grindcore. good thing we play trumpets.

i always thought of orchid as a hardcore band. speaking of assuck, have you heard jud jud? they were a mock hardcore band that only uses noises they make themselves. it's kind of hard to explain without hearing them though.

i met the singer of morbid angel at this redneck metal bar in tampa (where they have heavy metal karaoke night). he's an ass, but early morbid angel is amazing.

i'll make my list later.

Typical shit: Sabbath, Sunn O))), Melvins, early Napalm Death. I am interested in Pig Destroyer and Slayer, and also Motorhead.

i don't know, i don't consider most of what you listed (especially the grind shit) as metal.

about a third of what i listen is "metal" but, you know, i just like to think it's heavy shit.

i don't know where to start even, yeah i love a lot of what has been mentioned already (april 13, cryptopsy in mexico city bitch!!!!), some hasn't, but then i'm not sure if they qualify. are unsane metal? how about kayo dot? is asva metal?

i don't like limiting things to being metal or not.

--

i had two photos break my heart today, the first one was my ex who had this awful dog-like haircut and this is the second one:



to quote my friend "double-u, tee, effe, interrogation sign"

kayo dot y asva son un poco musica de "metal", pero, no hay nadie "metal" de unsane. como es mi espanol? (youre from mexico city right? i like to consider myself at least 50 percent fluent in spanish, i was in playa del carmen last month and locals seemed to understand my spanish somewhat, if youre not mexican and just live in mexico city please forgive me im an ass.)

nah, born and raised dude.

está bien tu español pero le falta un poquito...y si considero que unsane tiene metal pero como dije, no me clavo en los géneros y subgéneros; música buena es música buena.

A lot of the Doom/Sludge you mentioned pretty much. Lately for me it's been:

KTL (They're coming to Quebec; I'm pumped)
Ulver
Xasthur
Sunn0))) / Khanate / Earth
Isis
Goatsnake
Wold
x.Everyneurotic.x
Melvins
Metalcore stuff like Dillinger Escape, Converge, and Cave In

interesting, what does this band play?

He plays the Sonic Youth Gossip. He has sharp, elaborate posts

blastbeats and sweep picking are needed to piss off people in the board.

and can't forget the abcence of feedback

yeah...


"feedback roolz! hehe hehe hehe hehe"

Early Iron Maiden, when Paul Di'Anno was the vocalist. That's all I actually like at the moment, but I find black metal interesting - I like reading about it, and I find myself listening to bands like Mayhem on myspace, even though I don't enjoy listening to it.

Entombed , 3d house of beef , Agoraphobic Nosebleed although all of them are flirting with other genres.

By the way , what's the difference between AN and Pig Destroyer , musically?

Early Black Sabbath albums are the best. Does godheadSILO count as metal?

Do these count? Black Sabbath, Melvins, Blue Cheer, Boris, the first four Led albums, "Helter Skelter" on the White Album.

That's about all I like in this category.

Metallica (80s)
Pantera (Far beyond driven especially)
Sepultura (Arise and Roots especially)
Slayer (Reign in blood / Seasons in the abyss), not sure I would listen to a complete album anymore though (a bit too agressive for me now)

I love me some fucking metal.

anyone mentioned corrupted yet?

i duno how i totally forgot neurosis.

te falta un poquito en la conjugación.

i like the typical
metal that is cool for the non metal listener
boris (lovelovelove)
melvins
SLAYER
burzum
if KTL count
black sabbath
napalm death

and anything else that someone wants to recomend to me...

oh, and if Om count, than Om!

motorhead is NOT metal!

they are just rock n roll.

they predate metal.

I have not listened to any new metal in almost two decades.

the only metal I still love to listen to is

Black Sabbath (ozzy years)
Megadeth (peace sells, countdown to extinction)
Metallica (kill em all, ride the lightning, master of puppets, and justice for all)
Slayer (reign in blood)

Ditto - Shame to forget one of my favorites

lo sineto, soy solamente 50 porciento fluento en espanol. (and i dont know how to conjugate on the comp, i always just write in my accent marks when i have paper due for la clase de espanol)

does anyone like sabbath's ronnie james dio years? heaven and hell and mob rules are amazing albums.

no!

i can't listen to dio sabbath a lot and some songs are just ridiculous, but they have their moments.

on the other hand, i can well listen to rainbow. rainbow were awesome.

If Black Sabbath predate Motorhead, and Motorhead predates metal, what are Black Sabbath?



But yeah, I don't consider Motorhead to be metal, I just don't follow your logic.

black sabbath started in 68-69. They creates metal as we know it.

motorhead began as an offshoot of hawkwind, with lemmy kicking out the jams, in 1975. Motorhead is straight up blues rock, hard and fast blues rock, which is a part of metal for sure.

people have always called motorhead metal, but I go with lemmy on this one, and he says that Motorhead have always been rock n roll, straight up, like AC DC.
