Anarchy2Howard Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Who lieks Metuhl? I've recently started getting into Metal, so far my favourite type of Metal is Folk Metal. This is some of the different types of Metal.. it's not all Heavy Metal.. Power Death Viking Black Thrash Speed Melodic Doom Folk Heavy Industrial Neo-Classical Progressive Symphonic Celtic Dark Epic Gothic Pagan Battle Stoner Deathgrind Sludge Crossover Southern Shred Avant-Garde Suicidal/Depressive National Socialist Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarlaxle 56 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Agalloch is an example of Folk Metal, though they are Post-Metal also. Anyway, I LOVE Metal. Some of my favourites. Opeth (Progressive Death Metal) Cynic (Technical Jazz Metal) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7B1OKdpTJo Agalloch (Folk/Post Metal) Nachtmystium (Psychedelic Black Metal, aww yeah) Bloodbath (Death Metal) Cryptopsy (Technical Death Metal) Canvas Solaris (Technical Metal, instrumental) Kreator (German Thrash Metal, better than Metallica and Megadeth) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleNecker Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 What in sam fucking hell is "METUHL"? Something odd, it seems. I actually like Burzum. o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leddy Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Kreator (German Thrash Metal, better than Metallica and Megadeth) When you say better than Megadeth and Metallica, which bit of the song are you saying is better ?? its faster but not better in my opinion .

Jarlaxle 56 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I actually like Burzum. o_O Oh my God. I would definitely NOT have pegged you as the type to listen to Black Metal. Let alone Burzum. Varg Vikernes seems like a bit of a wacko/asshole type, you know the whole burning down churches and stabbing your former bandmate 70 times in the face... When you say better than Megadeth and Metallica, which bit of the song are you saying is better ?? its faster but not better in my opinion . Well I think the vocals are a lot better, solos are cooler, drums are more technical. But of course (early) Metallica and Megadeth have the upper hand simply because they were extremely original I guess. Its all personal opinion, but if you like Thrash metal Kreator are one of the best from the 80s. And they're still making good stuff! Slayer are probably the heaviest of the "big four" also, so they would've influenced Kreator more than the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedNoodle Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 There's a very fine line for metal, that when it crosses it, the music has lost all it's sould and passion. A perfect example is Dream Theater. Lord knows they are some amazing musicians, but the music has no feeling or emotion to it. It's not just because it's technical, i dunno, it just loses me there. Metallica is where i draw that line. I'm not a huge fan, but anything heavier than that i don't like. If it's lighter than that, it depends on the band. My tastes in metal go like this: Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Rush (1st album only), etc. Early, slow, heavy, amazing. ...from there, I do like plenty of 80's hair metal. Motley Crue, and others like that. note: POISON IS NOT METAL!!! THEY ARE AN EMBARRASMENT TO ROCK N ROLL!! Iron Maiden is a huge fave, although i don't know where to classify them. And that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit that I actually do love Hvis lyset tar oss a lot. It's so ethereal. I've heard most of his other stuff (even his two prison albums which I like) but Hvis lyset tar oss is the best. If there's more black metal like that album, I might like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anarchy2Howard Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Curious what Folk Metal sounds like....any examples?

JukeboxJim Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 As much as I love metal music, the giant list of separate genres of metal is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shankly Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I've sort of wandered into liking various metal bands lately, which is odd as I'm 52. I particularly liked Doomsword and have found Aman Amarth, Bal Sagorth and Candlemass very interesting. Some of the folk metal stuff is good too - Korpiklaani, Cruachan, Waylander, Primordial, Turisas. The one thing that irritates me slightly is the vocals - some of the lyrics are really interesting, but the growling/ snarling style of vocals obscures them. I'd prefer it if the vocals were clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, it's the same with Rock music.. there's probably more forms of Rock than Metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarlaxle 56 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 It is funny Agreed, even funnier is the list of "cores". (Which are 99% garbage imo, just a terrible terrible idea to try and fuse Hardcore Punk and Metal) Metalcore Grindcore Deathcore Mathcore Hatecore Mallcore Emocore Screamocore Rapcore Blackcore Whalecore Thrashcore I shudder even thinking about how awful all of it is.

My favourite example are probably Korpiklaani (who would have thought that an accordian would be a metal instrument!). Cruachan and Waylander would probably qualify too.

Xtazy Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Ensiferum is my favourite Folk Metal band - try Victory Song or I like an aggressive instrumental part but with cleaner vocals in any type of metal (not a big fan of death/doom/black etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew! Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I go through my metal moods every so often. Not right now, really. But I mostly like hardcore metal, stuff around there.

Jarlaxle 56 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I'm not a fan of the "shouting" vocals predominant in Metalcore... The way I see it, if you are going to yell or scream, don't do it halfassed. Most metalcore screams sound like they are angry at their parents, I like it more extreme where it sounds like they are Satan incarnate. But yeah, to each their own, etc... etc.. I don't mind anyone else enjoying it. At least you're trying new music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anarchy2Howard Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 I recently saw the film Metal: A Headbangers Journey, which is a documentary on Metal, its origins and styles, its censorship etc. It's very interesting, but it failed to cover any of the Finnish metal. Finland is really huge in Metal, probably the best country for Metal, although Norway is a decent competitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock N' Rollin' Man Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Amon Amarth is a good metal band out there now. Guys from Sweden singing about Viking themes. Also some other bands from the NWOBHM such as Iron Maiden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
