Does anyone listen to heavy metal/death metal anymore?

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

I can handle hard metal, so called 'death' metal, 'black' metal and whatever other terms you want to use. i cannot handle 'thrash' metal (which is just noise). It MUST be musical overall, not just a bunch of idiots beating on strings. The absolute worst thing is the distorted overdub track that is supposed to be some kind of lyrics.

Nux Vomica has one track (Reeling) I found by accident. The music is spectacular, one person I directed to it called it 'epic'. But it has that horrible noise dubbed over it. At least it's dubbed in a way that I can more or less ignore it and enjoy the music. I'd love to find an instrumental version without the noise. I've tried a few of their others and can't tolerate any of them.

Another is called Fear Satan by Mogwai, supposedly out of Scotland of all places. Really, quite a good instrumental piece. Very hard, very metal. But also musical.

Epica, terrific symphonic/orchestral hard metal. Fantastic voice of Simone Simmons when she SINGS. But they also do far too much of the distorted overdubbing that seriously detracts from how good the music is.

I don't do links or videos, so without only a band name and no description of the music, I have no idea what type of music some of you are referring to.

Personally I'm quite band specific, hence links to specific bands as to me it is the best way to get to know what they actually sound like.

80s Metallica is thrash metal, you seem to be describing the wrong genre of music (or you just really, really hate thrash metal, which knowing you, is possible). But that description doesn't sound like thrash to me, sound more like black metal.
Mogwai Fear Satan is not metal, it's post-rock. Distorted guitar does not metal make.

Each side of the double LP is composed by each band member, air, water, fire earth.

Russian Circles --- Deficit.

Bent Knee --- Way Too Long.

Weird tune. Metal, sort of. Singer screams, but not the death metal scream. Looks weird too. Reminds me of Janis Joplin in some ways.

Baest has a new single out 'Colossus' if you like good clean family death metal

I prefer Mareridt myself.

Løven just came up in my playlist and it doesn't sound metal at all. Sounds like the tracks on Folkesange.

I've just got completely hooked on a new band "Vægtløs" and their new Album "Aftryk"

The first track on the Album which contains four tracks.

Ingenting kan forhindre, at små struber skælver en forårsnat​

(Nothing can prevent small throats from shaking on a night of spring)​

Troels’ sister in law was diagnosed with cancer for the second time in 2019 and this song was originally intended to be a get-better rally call, but as her life was tragically taken away, the song took a new direction: this song is for her young daughter. Life is beautiful, and that is why it hurts, and we need to take that into account, when life shows its darkest face. Let every memory of people we love remain forever.

What happens when former members of Foreigner, Warrant and Dokken get together? This album was released on Monday.

There's something about Threshold .... a certain sound and depth.

Im finally listening to the new Ihsahn Album that came out earlier this year
Got on CD, but, here be streaming version of the tracks

I got the Orchestral version on CD too, but havent heard it.

Encountered the band Dead Work yesterday, acoustic black metal, pretty decent IMO.

Never heard of them before, but, very much has a punk-folk sound to it. I dont know how to interpret it, so, I guess I'll listen again!

I got the recommendation from a folk punk fan, so that makes sense.
If you're unaware, folk punk is a genre, maybe check out We the Heathens for sort of an intersection of metal and folk punk if you're curious. Lots of people (most?) hate folk punk

 

[lxskllr]

Not familiar with folk punk generally, but I like gypsy punk. Haven't listened in awhile though. Been listening to more sedate stuff.

There's a decent sized overlap between gypsy punk and folk punk audiences too. I saw Gogol Bordello live a few years back, amazing show.

I truly believe i sound rather similar after drinking a large quantity of coca cola : "Ruuuuuuuoooooo".

I really like Hanba, their sound is pretty awesome, but they were the only folk-punk band I really knew though a lot of Celtic Rock has a similar vibe

I started learning accordion a few weeks ago too--I'll never be good, but I only aim to be good enough for folk punk, which I think I can achieve

I used to always make fun of accordions when I was a kid. Then I heard Finntroll's masterpiece Midnattens Widunder around 2000ish.

I cant play any instruments at all. Took piano lessens for like 3 or 4 years as a kid, never got past very very basic stuff.

My brother is the opposite. He had like 1 or 2 lessons on guitar when he was 5 and now he plays every instrument.

Hope you have fun with it and kick some ass!

I added some in the music thread.
