how is everyone doing? whats up? My username is actually "moth", by the way. As stated in my profile, i am 22 years old. and a girl~ I listen to many types of music. I am mostly into the Doom ,Sludge, and Stoner sub-genres when it comes to metal. I also frequently listen to the old heavy metal bands like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. I don't care much for Thrash Metal, or Death Metal.

i have tried getting into death metal, I have a friend that is really into it. I enjoy the music, but the vocals aren't my cup of tea. I'm open minded, however, and if you have any bands you want to recommend, i would be happy to give a listen.
What kind of doom and sludge stuff are you into? Some of that has very harsh vocals. What about the vocals turns you off - is it the abrasive quality, or that you can't understand the lyrics, or that you just think it sounds silly?

I don't mind not understanding lyrics, and I don't think it's silly, at all. Probably, I was introduced to the wrong bands, at the wrong times. Cannible Corpse, for instance, I believe was the first death metal band i was introduced to. I like traditional doom, and the stoner/sludge doom, blackened doom, and can enjoy drone doom when i'm in the mood.

Ha, Cannibal Corpse was one of the first death metal bands I got into as well, and I still really like some of their stuff. But I don't consider vocals their strong point. Opeth isn't really a death metal band, but Mikael's growls are excellent and seem to be very accessible. If you're looking for a way into appreciating harsh vocals, check out the album "Deliverance" - though they have quite a few amazing albums. They've converted a few people I know into fans of harsher vocals. In general you'll probably have an easier time with more melodic death and black metal, at least in my opinion - the vocals acquire a melodic feel from the music underneath them, and they feel less abrasive.

Hey alabaster another good death metal we can introduce to our new found friend. Suffocation.
Honestly, if she couldn't get into Cannibal Corpse's vocals, I don't see her reacting differently to Suffocation. With harsh vocals, it's basically a matter of finding a band that really works for you, to give you a way into appreciating them, and then you can branch out from there. The first time I heard death metal vocals was when I was eleven or twelve, and I didn't really dig them right away either. But, yeah, like Deathstorm says, you should check out Nevertanezra. They're more melodic doom, with some death metal influences - a bit like My Dying Bride.

Re: hey (: Welcome. I play in Nevertanezra, and am the mod here, so feel free to ask if you have questions about the band or the site. Nice to see another doom fan here, doom/death might be a good transition into death metal with you having background on one side of the sound. I'm not much of a drone fan, but I love almost every other kind of doom. For trad stuff, my favorites are Trouble, Candlemass, Saint Vitus, Pentagram, Isole, Hour of 13, Black Hole, Paul Chain, etc..., for stoner doom, I'm all about Cathedral, Church of Misery, Bongzilla, Spirit Caravan, Electric Wizard, etc..., sludge is all about Grief, Eyehategod, Burning Witch, etc..., and for black/doom, I go for stuff like Bethlehem, Unholy, Eyes of Ligeia, Faustcoven, Dolorian, etc...

great list, I also like Candlemass, Pentagram, Saint Vitus, Electric Wizard, Eyehategod. some of my personal favorites are Acid Bath, Fleshpress, Sleep, and Sons of Otis [h=1]Acid Bath was the band that opened my eyes to doom.[/h] I don't listen to a lot of Drone, myself , but it sometimes does something for me. - Checking out those bands you mentioned that I haven't heard, especially the death/doom. So far, I am really liking Unholy.

I dig Acid Bath as well, but I like the above mentioned bands a bit more. I've heard tracks from the other bands you mentioned, but don't own any of their stuff. If you head into the Doom Metal section on here, you'll see a thread called "doom 101", in which I've posted a ton of YouTube videos of bands from all over the doom spectrum. Feel free to check it out, I've got a ton of shit logged in there, but haven't had time to post more and/or update it in a bit. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      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!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      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.
