I do dig the Melvins 7/10

 

 

7.5/10 the power in that voice is amazing

Hmm it was good without being amazing 6/10

 

 

7/10 it's impossible to hate Judas Priest.

Maybe you should add a chat for people to talk and discus outside the forums.

Yeh..it is..

I'm more accustomed to death/black metal and Doom/stoner metal, not that I haven't dipped into Thrash before, but this is the first full Thrash album I've listened to in full. It was like an orgasmic beating for my ears.

Just bought Reign In Blood, WOW! It's bloody amazing. Angel of death was such a great song.

Try some of their older animals. I was just playing Ozma earlier, and my daughters were even getting into it.

I hadn't actually heard that album for, listened to it and I think it's brilliant.

Let it all be, is by far my favorite song by them.

Short version.

Long Version (Low Audio quality)

I'm loving this thread, I may not be a girl, but I definitively like long haired guys. 

I know he's grunge, not metal but Kurt Cobain used to be a sexy man.

I'm really starting to fall in love with them, I keep listening to them.  '(A) Senile Animal' was brilliant on par with 'Houdini' in my opinion. I can see why people would be put off by them, especially with the experimental stuff. 'The Bride Screamed Murder' is my faviourte, that I've listened to at present. They have a new album out this week, I'm so bloody excited. Here's just a snippet...

I love the Melvins, they're one of my faviourite bands of all time, sometimes grouped as Grunge, they definitely sound more like Doom/Sludge/Stoner metal with some grunge elements and a nice shot of experimental.

Well actually rock wouldn't exist without Blues music - which isn't Jazz. Look at black musicians like Howlin' Wolf and you will see the influence it has on both Rock and Metal - particularly early metal artists like Black Sabbath. Rock'n'Roll of the 50's, which without, music as we know it wouldn't exist, was a combination of country and blues. So, even if you don't classify metal as apart of rock - because  metal also draws from classical and heavy music - You must acknowledge that the genres are interlinked. (Not to even mention the influences that the other Rock off shoot, Punk, would have on later metal genres.)

(This is actually an interesting topic, is there a thread discussing the influences and evolution of Metal?)

Thank you all for the warm welcome

Welcome to the forum. It's interesting that Vader were your gateway band. Glad you're starting to appreciate the genre. Personally I believe metal is the broadest of all music genres. Nothing else out there could contain bands like Iron Maiden, Dissection, Bathory, Blut Aus Nord, Dark Angel, Rammstein, My Dying Bride, Helloween, Devin Townsend, Electric Wizard, and Suffocation under the one umbrella.

Yeah, I jumped into the deep end with vader Technically it was Maximum the Hormones song "What's up?" That turned my intrest onto metal, but VADER solidified it. I suppose Rock is the most verried genre, because Heavy Metal could be classified as a off shoot of Rock. Only Rock could have Pat Boone and The Rolling Stones under the same Roof.

Welcome to the forum! I like Jazz and country too, and Vader are pretty great, my favourite Death Metal band however is Bolt Thrower, I'd say check them out.

Yeah, my taste is drastically verried, I'm in a love affair with Rockabilly and all things 50's Rock'n'Roll and I've even delved into Hip-hop/Rap and Brit Pop - Thanks to the Gorillaz - recently.I could talk all day about almost any genre. I'll make sure to check Bolt Thrower out.

I have looked down on Slayer for about 2 decades. Welcome.

I love them.

Welcome, glad you're developing a taste for it. 

Thank you

Everything has it's place, and I mean every genre has a place. If it makes a sound, SOMEONE will enjoy it, even if you don't enjoy it or think it isn't technical enough, don't declare it the worst and brag that your taste in music is more refined. You just come off as a snooty, high horse riding bitch. Also, keep an open mind and listen to more than the first 5 seconds of a song. While I have your attention, don't just declare a song terrible when the only thing you know about it is it's genre.

Been a while since I was in the mood for Deicide, but the first three albums are classic. "Once Upon The Cross" is the best produced and most accessible, so I'd recommend it as a starting point, but I prefer the chaos of "Legion" most of the time.

I'll probably check them out at some point, I'll need to add it to my massive list though.

By my profile picture, I think it's obvious which one I'm gonna choose. They're the band that got me into metal into the first place. I have "Tibi Et Igni" on vinyl and "The Beast" on CD - as an album Tibi is so fucking good. I can't decide on a faviourt song. 

But, I am obviously bias here. I haven't even listened to Deicide.

Hello, I'm a big music fanatic, I love everything from smooth Jazz to Death metal to rock to country and folk. I used to think metal was meaningless noise and look down on bands like Slayer,  but over the past year I've fallen in love with metal, all thanks to Vader. 

(I even like some Hair Metal :P)
