Metal Music General - All Sub-Genres Welcome

@Count Adramélekh Sear
 
what the fuck XD

@The Glim Glam  
For me too. I don’t even search for the genre, most of the time I just listen to a band and later find out they are NSBM. I don’t really see anything special in the subgenre.

Agalloch is really good.
 
I was standoff-ish about checking them out at first, but now that I have I love them.

@Yakoushi
 
I mostly find it amusing that a lot of these NSBM bands are either from Russia or Ukraine, countries that Nazi Germany would have disregarded when they had the chance.
 
 
@Lord Hypno
 
All the way, shame their last album wasn’t that good of a whammy and not helped that John fucked up royally.

BAMF! Doom metal!

@Closet_Brony
 
:OOOOO IT GUD
 
also to add two things:
 

@The Glim Glam  
To be fair John fucked up serveral years after Agalloch broke up and the other band members condemned what he did.
 
And he also at least admitted what he said was wrong.
 
Shame about Pillorian though. I’m still gonna check out Pillorian sometime.

@Lord Hypno
 
Ture true

I wanna see a Tree Hugger PMV of this song.

@The Glim Glam  
I was a massive Slipknot fanboy back in 2008 when I was just a wee lil’ teenager but I have to admit only their first 2 albums are actually good. The rest I’m very indifferent to.

Negura Bunget is sort of underrated. OM is a great album.

@Labyrinthine
 
I preferred Vol. 3 but Iowa is a fucking banger, especially the title track being one of the most chilling pieces ever written. I was also a fanboyish of Slipknot thanks to my cousin having the Disasterpieces and Voluminal: Inside the Nine videos.
 

 
 
@Lord Hypno
 
Shame what happened to Negru.

I don’t like Slipknot that much, but they are also one of the more tolerable nu-metal bands.

Collecting pieces of my family in an old pillow case  
This one has a skull but it don’t have a face  
These look like the arms of father so strong  
And the ring on this finger means my Grandma is gone
 
Here’s some mud made of blood and these teeth are decayed  
The ear of my brother, The hand of a friend  
And I just can’t put them back together again
 
There are forces in the air, ghosts in the wind  
Some bullets in the back and some scars on the skin  
There were demons with guns who marched through this place  
Killing everything that breathed, they’re an inhuman race  
There are holes in the walls, bloody hair on the bricks  
And the smell of this hell is making me sick
 
Pick up the bones and set them on fire  
Follow the smoke going higher and higher  
Pick up the bones and wish them goodnight  
Pray ‘em a prayer and turn out the light
 
Now maybe someday the suns gonna shine  
Flowers will bloom and all will be fine  
But nothing’ll grow on this burnt cursed ground  
’Cause the breathe of the death is the only sound

Perfect bands don’t exi-…  

@Lord Hypno
 
SUCH HOMOEROTIC.

New Deathspell coming soon!

@Lord Hypno  
Manowar, hell yeah!
 
Check out their other album covers. They’re all like that: Big, beefy guys showing off the guns, being all tough and manly (and not realizing how unintentionally gay they look).

@Count Adramélekh Sear  
Dude, they knew what they were doing. I’m pretty sure the entire reason they made that song and the Amerikkkant album was to be controversial, and it worked.
 
I hardly care about a band’s politics. I listen to everything from anarcho-communist pro-vegan bands to National Socialist black metal.

Deathspell Omega’s new album was Fucking amazing.

I’m not a big fan of the mindset that “black metal is an ideology” or “black metal is a mindset”.
 
I also find a lot of the anti-experimentation attitudes in black metal circles online annoying.

@Lord Hypno
 
Not everything should be klvt.

Does anyone else here like Enslaved?
 
I think Enslaved are by far the best band still currently going.

@Lord Hypno
 
I’ve heard of them.
