Does anyone listen to heavy metal/death metal anymore?

And something completely different: Myrkur - Spine
 
Too much screaming in that one, though it has gems like The Serpent, Crown and Katteren. M is the same way, a few good tracks, marred by screaming. Onde Børn may be my favorite track. There's a hard version on M and a soft/acoustic version on Mausoleum.

Have you heard 'Ragnarok' yet? Norse/Viking stuff.
 
I just stick to the traditional 80's metal...Priest, Scorps, Maiden, Metallica....toss in some Savatage, Metal Church and some Accept and I 'm good...

Can't forgot the hair metal either....have good doses of Ratt, Dokken, Cinderella, Crue, Warrant, Night Ranger and Poison on my running playlist...

My god, I remember going to a Dokken small venue concert in NYC where the speakers were 20' tall and 50' away from the audience. I had tinnitus for 2 weeks after that. Late 80s so I was still in my 20s. Good show though!
 
Does anyone listen to...

The question is do bands play it, and the answer is yes. If they play it, people listen to it. Otherwise, they wouldn't play it.
 
Anything that sounds like Doom music is good to me.
 
This is a bit more .. cosmic sounding ...
But holy crap, new Abigor is Fantastic!!!!


Silenius is at his best, reminds me for some reason of Garm from his time with Arcturus. TT machine gun banging away on the drums sounds perfect. It's only January, and I'm fairly confident i've heard the best new black metal album for the year.

I'd get tinnitus after shows, lasting a day or two, but got it one too many times and it's never gone away. Hearing protection is cheap, buy online or keep a piece of cotton in your wallet. If you forget hearing protection, you can pinch a piece of a paper napkin, spit in it and jam it in your ear. A cigarette filter works too.
 
The students at my school got four minutes of black metal at assembly last Thursday as we have a Jeppe Aakjær theme (Danish poet) the band Afsky had made music for his "tyende sang" from 1906

 
Stumbled across this band this weekend, Cobra Spell. Sleazy 80s glam metal, except women rather than men. Kinda makes me think of the Donnas, except they were more hard rock.

Nice. Unapologetically 80s glam. The suggested song right after that was cool, The Devil Inside Me. Decent guitarists too.
