noblastbeats

Hi Welcome from another newbie, this is a great place to hang and talk metal \m/

Dyscarnate - All The Devils Are Here

My Dying Bride - The Ghost Of Orion (album)

Didn't know that! I'll look forward to that one too

Pallbearer - Worlds Apart

I think the stint Nick is doing with Bloodbath coupled with Greg's time in Vallenfyre has given them a fresh perspective and a new taste to explore the heavier side of their roots which as you say, is very welcome!

Draconian - Sovran

Ablaze In Hatred - When The Blackened Candles Shine

I've always had a love/hate relationship with blast beats. I think they're overused a lot of the time and detract from the heaviness of a good riff. So I started NoBlastBeats which aims to create a curated list of extreme metal with no, or at least minimal, blast beats. Its updated with a new song every day. There's the option to join the newsletter mailing list which is sent out every Sunday with a list of the previous weeks chosen songs and you can rate each song as you see fit. There's also a series of YouTube playlists for each genre which you can follow at my YouTube channel. Its early days yet so there's not hundreds of songs added but its growing every day

Behexen - Let The Horror And Chaos Come

Dammit, I need to pay attention

I think he uses both quite effectively. I think the Plague Within benefited enormously with the death growls and I'm glad to hear they'll be present on the new stuff too

Paradise Lost Carach Angren Rotting Christ Vore Slayer

Surprised no ones mentioned Alex Webster from Cannibal Corpse, he's technically very gifted. Also of course Lemmy, Steve Harris and Cliff.

Oh OK, sorry about that!

Have you heard the song from the new album yet? Its pretty damn good!

Belphergor - Conjuring The Dead

Thanks!

I'm a big Rotting Christ fan and I know about the sub-genre of Hellenic Black Metal. Has anyone got any recommendations for bands I should check out? I've googled a few but I'd really like personal recommendations.

Carach Angren – Monster

I really liked Blair Witch Project and the PA series, but yeah I think the ones I listed are better. Each one expands the genre or does something unexpected.

Rotting Christ - Devadevam

Noothgrush - Hatred For The Species
