Panache Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 [quote name='Jakehammaren']This Godless Endeavor is an absolutely f***ing genius album. Jeff Loomis is a machine.[/QUOTE] Final Product and Enemies of Reality is SEX. He has a really good voice that fits great with the instrumentals perfectly(especially the rhythm guitar). I think they just jumped over Amon Amarth as awesome new metal band I discovered in the last two months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakehammaren Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Kam, have you listened to the new Wolves in the Throne Room album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panache Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 So I was listening to Opeth...for real this time...and they are amazing. That dude has like the best voice ive heard from a prog metal band. I gotta hear more of em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 No, but it's on my list for albums to review. I've already read and heard a lot of great things about it. You have done damage to me, Jake. I've found that I can no longer live without Agalloch in my life. Curator's new albums is going to be released online early in 2008. Originally, I was suppose to be handling all the vocal duties, but the drummer wants some of his associates on it, as well. So, I'll probably only be handling three songs. But I'll make sure that my stuff is the stuff that goes up. The other vocalists that are going to be on the record are really not good at all. I'm kind of disapointed by DJ's decision to permit that. -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakehammaren Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Hahaha! Well, that's the best kind of damage evar. And the new WITTR is absolutely... well, you'll hear it for yourself. I need not say anything. I'll know you've listened to it when you make the "HOLY **** WITTR IS GOD" post here on the boards. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberinkula Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 [COLOR="77656"]Well, I bought a copy of Metal Maniac magazine at a store yesterday. I bought it to help me further indulge myself in metal. And I read a few articles. They even interviewed a bunch of artist's, but the only familiar bands I saw were Agalloch, Cattle Decpitation, Exodus, Ackercocke and Evergreen Terrace. A few of which I've only heard of. And I also found out that Exodus and Dethklok have something in common. The video for Riot Act was filmed a bit by Jon Shnepp, and so were things in Dehtklok. Even if the magazine isn't a good source for metal, I found it pretty useful. My cousin told me he would be able to burn me some copies of metal bands that are really good, about a week or so ago. (Nevermore, and some other bands I've heard talk about on OB from Jake and various others.)[spoiler]Ironically my cousin's name is Jake, coincidence?[/spoiler] So I'll ask him next time I got some burnables and he's here.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gozu Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 To tell you the truth I don't really like the direction metal is heading in.With all these hardcore bands that sound pretty much the same to me, and once one band does something new all these other bands just start to emerge and sound the same having a cookie cutter effect.As the days go by I find myself each day listening to other types of music other than metal itself.I hope in the future this will soon all change, but for now there seems to be no hope for the genre of metal.

Aberinkula Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 [COLOR="77656"]Today Youtube worked at my school for once, anyways I got a chance to listen to 2 Agalloch songs. Not Unlike the Waves and She Painted (something?) Across the Sky part 1. I didn't like Not Unlike the Waves as much as the latter but they were both excellant songs. Now I want an album SO BADLY, but I doubt FYE sells them, or any other store here for that matter. I also had the chace to listen to a minutes or so worth of wintersun. I forgot the name of the song, but they were imense. Next time I'm at the school library I'll look up some other bands like Nevermore, Opeth and Blind Guardian. I'm really amped to buy an album, if only I had the money.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't have it at Best Buy or Planet Music (Fye) when I went. I had to get The Mantle and Ashes Against the Grain at an underground record store, and I got Pale Folklore on Amazon.

Guest Crono Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I'v noticed over the past few years that metal has kinda changed direction. Their are many different types of metal. You've got black metal,thrash metal,screamo metal,new age metal,nu metal(whitch iv noticed is going down bands like slipknot broke up Korn changed thier sound).Alot of the other metal kinda died out like hair metal,and techno metal. But back to my point iv noticed alot more scremo metal then anything else.Im not really complaining somes not bad but their is a point just like theirs a point when thrash metal loses it. Im not really concerned witht he direction its heading as long as we have people who support and listen to it their will always be metal. Another topic is why so many people dispise metal.Mny of these people include very religous even thoug their is christain metal.They find it to be evil or otherwise.Im not saying metal is perfect you'll get a band that just goes easily over the line and makes no sence what so ever. I love metal with a message and heat i n it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodbye, Face Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 [font=arial][size=1]Screamo Metal sounds like it would be awesome. XD Oddly enough, that seems to be kind of the direction that Circle Takes the Square is taking with their new record. There's a new song on youtube that sounds like it's half hardcore and half Isis.[/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides I can't read the guys post anyways, his grammar stinks. Today my friend gotpissed because I complaiend about metalcore. i jsut don't like it. Then myf riend Brooke lashed on me because I'm picky about genres. I'm not picky, I just hate it when my friends get stuff wrong. It would help if they knew I don't know about genres I just know what genre a certain band is. [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a FAST(like dragonforce+) Thrash band A great Black Metal Band(one that sounds like Old Mans Child) And something Sludge All preferably stuff you can pick up at best buy.

Goodbye, Face Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 [font=arial][size=1]The only reason why we're all trolling you to different extents is because that when a band goes off into nu-metal or screamo territory, they're not a metal band. They may be inspired by actual metal music or whatever, but that's like saying Opeth is a jazz band because they introduce some jazz influences in their music. We're all kind of tired of this constantly coming up. Isis, Baroness, and Kylesa are pretty much the only metal bands I listen to. I don't even know what I'm doing in this thread half the time. We're all just passionate about music here and when someone as uncaring as you apparently are comes around, it gets us a little angry.[/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberinkula Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 [COLOR="77656"]Metal, dead? You just don't have faith or ears I guess.. Metal is stronger now in my eyes than it ever was. Or go to the extereme not-metal thread. Anwyays, tomorrow I'm going to F.Y.E. I'm going to find an Agalloch album. Fair to midland is better for me. But I'll nag out a second album, maybe I can get two and listen to them. [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
