Top 5 Worst Bands


SBird94

Recommended Posts

Vraiment? J'ecoute a plus de groupes francais' date=' mais ils jouent tech-death ou melodic black metal, en general, et ils sont magnifique.[/quote'] Ah, oui. la majorite de groupes etait power metal, souvent avec les chanteuses: la musique de "corset metal", comme c'est connue. Est-que tu peux donner des examples de bonnes groupes, et chant-elles en francais? *Apologies for the probably pretty shoddy French: it's been a while! :P

It's fine, I was worried it'd be a bit over my head. Les groupes de metal Francaises qui chantent en Francais sont un peu rarement, je pense, mais je sais deux groupes, Alcest et un bonne groupe de melodic black metal, un de mes favoris, Belenos. Autres bonnes groupes: Dungortheb Blut Aus Nord Kronos Scarve Akphaezya Bran Barr

Well I don't have a top 5 favorite bands so finding a top 5 worst bands would be even more difficult :P Non-metal related stuff: Far too many mainstream so called "bands" that can't even play an instrument... Most of them are not even playing music.. I could make a list that would go forever but i don't know many names and I'm not intrested in finding them out :P Metal related stuff: I don't like pretty much all cores, Metallica after mustaine (although they are FAR away from my worst bands..) and lets say 90% of black metal. (for example I like some Emperor-Mayhem stuff etc, but not the genre as a whole)

I don't have such list; in fact' date=' for me it is pointless. If I don't like something I just don't focus on it. It's a big waste of time to write crap about all of the stuff that I hate.[/quote'] The point is to prevent the people of the future making the mistakes of the past. :D

Haha, just realised I never responded to this, and I'm a bit tired so cba to reply in the Francais. :P I've actually heard a few of those. Kronos are death metal, right? Are they a bit like Benighted, but more techy? Alcest are definitely a band I wanna check out. I hear their most recent stuff is pretty subdued and floaty, which should be right up my street. :)

I wouldn't compare them to Benighted, they're much more on the brutal end of things with regards to tempo, but they're one of my favorites.

Well i don't respect any so called ''musicians'' like Beiber Lmfao for lack of originality nor do i respect so called ''shockers'' like Lady Gaga or Miley Cyrus when there are better shock rockers like GWAR. I don't like the bands that call themselves metal and attact the pop listeners like Avenged Sevenfold or Five Finger Death Punch. Moi aussi je suis Français :razz:.

Coldplay - I can't stand male voices that sound like he is crying on the microphone.
Yes. Incredibly bland, too. So often mistaken by idiots as emotional depth, but really they're either a bit 'grumpy' sounding or 'moderately happy'. That's the extent of these guys' emotional range, as is the case with most popular British 'indie' bands these days.

He sounds like a wounded cat and it's incredibly annoying, I don't understand how can anyone listen to the entire album. His singing style is always the same, like he's about to kill himself, and honestly after being forced to listen to him (in a bar or store), I want to kill myself. The dude from Maroon 5 also sings that way but somehow I find him less annoying. btw, Nora Jones - all of her songs are the same, she never changes her singing style, has an irritating nasal voice and absolutely always sings crappy ballads.

I can think of many bands and artists I dislike but few I truly hate. I suppose the only ones I hate are those for whom making music is secondary and making enormous profit is the primary goal. I believe musicians deserve to be payed for their work but music is an artform. As such the art of music must be undertaken for the love of art. I think you can hear and feel it in music when the artists cares much more about lining their pockets then about creating art.

On a side note, I don't know if British people are aware of how much you are idolized over here. We're total suckers for an Albion accent. Goodness knows my odd accent and clear enunciation has helped me a number of times, even at work. Which ironically should make the less money-conscious artists more popular and wealthy. Anyhow - I'm going to add those revolting, foul-mouthed, lecherous assclowns Attila to my list, probably at #2, just higher than Khanate.

    • Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

      3/5

    • Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious. 

      4/5
