What are you listening to right now? Evil Dead, Death - Scream Bloody Gore

Re: Punk I love hardcore punk (the precursor to hardcore) and ska punk. Against All Authority is up there with Obituary and Molotov for me.

He has so many good stanzas and lines in his lyrics. What are your favorite? My single favorite might be "I will not be your hunger, instead I bite the pain. Looking down back foot forward... I bite down." -Bite the Pain

My favorite extreme genre artist. Should really check him out, you may recognize some of his stuff on modern DxC bands. http://godmachinedesigns.blogspot.com/

Is there anywhere to post our own/favorite lyrics? I would love a place for that, since I have many songs in my head.

Post a pic of or talk about your or your favorite drum set. I don't own one, but I would love to. I can't find a picture, but Death's set makes me happy.

Re: clean vocals I cannot do clean. My voice is too monotone. Good thing I can't stand clean vocals, haha.

Re: female metal vocalist? StraightLine Stitch and Alesana have good feminine vocalists. Note, I say feminine, not female.

Re: Favourite Vocalist Chuck Schuldiner. My god, if I could do what he does with his voice...

Re: Harsh Vocals.... My only advice is do what I did. Keep practicing, sing along with all of your bands, the way they are doing, for as long as they did it (in studio/iPod version of a song). Drink tea, omit soda and other vocal deteriants. The sound comes from your chest, not your throat, by the way. Your throat is like the amp, while your chest is the guitar. Practice makes perfect.

I love, love, love deathcore. But I admit, the genre has been taken over by scene kids and terrible musicians. I am sorry in advance if I offend, but I am a highly opinionated individual, so tough noodles . Waking the Cadavar/Job for a Cowboy/Bring Me the Horizon/Blinding Erika... Bands like these give deathcore a horrid name. They are terrible, and no one cares that you want to kill your ex girlfriend in some sort of bizarre sexual violence. Molotov Solution. With Blood Comes Cleansing. War From a Harlots Mouth. Some of Misery Index' stuff (everything else is DM). Bring Me the Horizon after they learned how to use their instruments and before they became crowd pleasers. Some of Elysia's stuff. Manipulated Mutilation. Some of Suffokate. We Are the End if they weren't so White Power. These bands along with many more, are a credit to the genre. They portray a real meaning, a real sound, and deliver it through gut-wrenching gutturals and shrieking highs, with a thick, heavy sound and intense breakdowns. A breakdown should not just be a mission to sound the heaviest; it should be just that. A breakdown of the theme of the song. What are your opinions, comments, two cents?

Re: NINJA METAL It sounds terrible, but I f*cking love ninjas.

Re: Anouther.. This dude got all of the ones I can think of.

Re: THE SWORD I like them even though they recycle sounds.

Re: Seventh Wonder I've not actually heard of them. I'll check it out.

Re: DGM I like DGM. They give Progressive a good name.

Re: Theocracy I continue to love Theocracy.

Re: Battle Metal, just another ridiculous "genre"?

Re: Black Sabbath I fucking love Black Sabbath.

Re: Bon Jovi Bon... Jovi.... metal?

Re: Pantera ! Not much of a fan.

Re: New Blood I remember hearing them before.

Re: Slayer Remains in my lasting soul.

Re: Arch Enemy At one point were amazing.

Re: Metallica Meh metal to my ears.
