    I'll work you up a list Daiena because it just so happens that angry screaming/shrieking is my thing. I like death metal vocals too, but for me black metal is way better. The vocals not being quite right is probably the biggest deal-breaker for me in black metal, I like them just so.
    On your little list there I'd say Behexen would probably be the best choice if you want angry screaming, like the real raw throated larynx shredding shrieking, their vocals are one of the best examples of what I look for from black metal vocals. You'll want to start with their debut, Rituale Satanum.
    If you like Behexen and Satanic Warmaster then you might try some more Finnish bands: Azaghal, Baptism, Horna, Sargeist, Havukruunu, Sielunvihollinen, Hautakammio, Malum, Marras, Aegrus, Oath, Lathspell, Forgjord...they have tons of albums between them. There are more good Finn bands as well but those are some of the better known ones and that should keep you busy for awhile.

    Hi everyone!
    So im new to metal and i have some questions and sorry if it sounds stupid but i have to start somewhere to learn.
    I never ever listened to metal before and never could imagine that i would. But just a few days ago i was really curious to listen and see what metal is.
    People gave me recommendations to start with. Metallica, Judas Priests, Black Sabbath and some more. I tried this and it was okey. But i wanted to explore more so i was thinking about what death metal is. I thought that all heavy metal is death metal, so i google and found some bands like Canibal Corpse, Morbid Angel and Black Dahlia Murder. For me this sounded better than the ones i was recommended, but there was a growl like gutteral or how you say in english that i did not like very much. I was surprised that i did listen a full day because this is soo heavy sound for me. I think for my mood and focus this gave me some help, this is why i didnt feel like i wanted to stop.
    I start look on spotify and youtube and search everything, listen to playlists, getting recommendations and all that. I want to have songs on my playlist but i have only found a few that i really like and can play on repeat super loud. This is the ones i found and like so far:
    Bathotry - A fine day to die
    Dimmu Borgir - In deaths embrace
    Mayhem - Deathcrush
    Darkthrone - Transilvanian hunger
    Burzum - Det som en gang var
    Behexen - A distant call from the darkness
    Behexen - Blessed be the darkness
    Satanic Warmaster - The vampiric Tyrant
    Satanic Warmaster - Carelian Satanist Madness
    This is not as many as i want it to be, so maybe anyone have some recommendations of more metal like this (or death metal like this) i be happy.
    I think i have gone crazy little because i could not even dream i would like metal. Maybe this have been in my soul always but never knew about it, i dont know. But im not gonna tell anyone i know about what im listening to, im gonna keep this for me only.
    I be happy for any advice or suggestions you might have for me.

    In the UK there popular and most dont have any religious pictures on them relating to the birth of Jesus. Its just 🎅 Santa who is a Christian saint apparently, snow men and baubles from my experience.
    It's a fun way to count the days down to Christmas I'd have thought and daily helpings of chocolate 😋

    I have only began to listen to Venom this year, but I like a lot of it.  "Don't Burn the Witch" and "Seven Gates of Hell" are current favorites.

    My parents were opposed to anything super violent, but I was never really drawn to that kind of stuff anyway. My son is 9, too, but he wouldn't get much out of it right now, he's still into Garfield and Pete The Cat... I think seeing someone's stepdad impaled through the brain by a shapeshifting liquid robot would probably make him feel pretty horrible.

    This. 
    Every onslaught of limited edition splatter vinyl just smacks of desperation. 
    I do keep an ear out for new releases and band names that get positive mentions a few times so might be worth checking out but there is just too much stuff out there to really get worried about missing something.
    Year end lists are a joke, so I just sit back and observe and see what shit floats to the top.

    Balor given a Damn from navybsn in What's on your mind?   
    At this point I don't even bother to try and follow new releases - apart from a select few bands.  The trend towards limited editions/buy-now-or-cry-later hype releases makes it easier to just ignore what is being released, rather than find something good that is impossible to find.  That's why I never bother with Vothana, for instance.

    Balor what you say seems very reasonable. 
    I will have to ask my brother next time I see him. See what he says. My brother would give interesting response for sure

    Balor you could well be right about what you say. Your right there are not many serial killers so a load of factors has to come together to bring there actions about. The ones I read about we're all complex. 
    Got no excuse now. I will ask my brother next time I see him and let you know. That is assuming he wants to answer.

    Balor given a Damn from blaaacdoommmmfan in True crime   
    Also, I have a personal hunch that there are a lot more people would could do what these serial killers do, but just never had the right set of circumstances to provoke the behavior.  There are so few actual serial killers, statistically speaking, that it is no wonder that so many warning signs/contributing factors appear in each case.
    I would be interested to hear what your brother might have to contribute!

    Balor gave a Damn to blaaacdoommmmfan in True crime   
    Balor good to hear from you again. It's complex for sure. It's so interesting what you say about some sociopathic traits being useful for some very competitive jobs. My opinion is I can see thats very possible.There's definitely some jobs where that can help.
    Maybe there's no easy answer to it. Perhaps genetics plays a part, certainly a number of them did alot of alcohol and drugs which imo can't help things. Jeffrey Dahmer was kicked out of military for as far as I'm aware being totally drunk all the time.  Environment plays a key role definitely.  When you read the biographies of these guys you think that sort of stuff can't do you any good and perhaps explains why they do these terrible things. But there's alot of people who have terrible childhoods who don't do what they do. I will ask my brother as he's mental health consultant. Can't spell the word 😁

    I think genetics might play some sort of role, but most is probably environment.  In other circumstances, he might have gone on to work in a competitive field (where being a sociopath might be a benefit!), or to become just another closeted though harmless freak.  But I am no psychologist!

    Balor hello again. You might be right. I don't think it's just the  environment they grew up that makes them bad however it doesn't help. Do you think it's a case of if there's really amazing good people there's got to be there polar opposite and Ramirez is that.

    Going back to the topic of From The Depths of Darkness, I like the compilation because it's interesting to hear cleaned up takes on classic Burzum material, but I think it would have been for the better had he just recorded an entirely new album.

    Somebody has to keep the lights on on the farm!  Something tells me he makes a lot more money that we might expect from Burzum.

    Yeah it was a good choice. I'm off tomorrow as well, so I'm going to go through the recent arrivals again. My metal collection is shaping up to be pretty nice.

    It actually just came today, I'm listening to the Cemetery Lust album now (blackthrash). I'm going to save the Drudkh for later on tonight.
