Heh, he actually pinned Extreme Metal by mistake and I was like "Holy Cow Molly !!! :D :D" LOL

I saw that too - I asked for Extreme Metal to be a subforum for the Metal thread, which didn't sound promising, and then I saw it pinned. Glad it got straightened out, the Metal thread has deserved to be pinned for a long time.

What Is this garbage mentioned multiple times throughout the thread ? Regardless of the specific names, I just spent the last hour listening to the bands mentioned in here to see if there was anything decent - and its all pretty lame.

It doesnt take any talent to growl some pathetic no-thought lyrics and play some riff that has been done 1000 times before, and have a double-pedal bass drum - OK thats my 2 cents.

Is there anything out there that isnt some guy growling/screaming the lyrics ? Death metal/thrash isnt what I was hoping for - if I wanted to laugh - I'd listen to GWAR. If I wanted talent... OLD Metallica, Pantera, uh....well.... I guess I'm too old - I cant think of anything else :blush:

Can someone point me to something I might like ? Because currently, I find myself listening to t00l, APC, OLD metallica, etc because I dont know what else is out there and dont listen to music that much... THX

:punk:

Not to be confused with our esteemed-colleague "Growled" - Didnt want to sound like I was talking crap about him LOL

Wow,

Anyway, If you like Tool, which I am a HUGE fan of btw (seen them 6 times live), you may want to check out Isis. They are compared to Tool a lot. Give Opeth a shot too, they're more of a progressive - death - whatever band, most of their songs are pushing 10 minutes. Really great driving music.

BTW, most Metal today is growling/screaming, which takes as much talent as anything else. Plus, the 'garbage' you're referring to is what most of the people in this thread listen to.

Don't insult what most of the people in this thread listen to and expect to get some decent responses.

Youre right, my apologies - as soon as I started that sentence I realized I was sounding like every other bonehead thinking "they dont make em as goos they used to..." which always makes me :rolleyes:

So, again, my apologies to all who were offended - everyone has different tastes and none are better than the others, just different. - I know that much

Thanks for the tips - I will try to listen to them and see - I honestly get sick of listening to the same stuff and just turn off the stereo in my truck and sit in silence.

No apologies necessary, I came off rudely as well.

I listen to many of the same bands you mentioned, and I have found Opeth, Clutch, Immortal, Corrosion of Conformity, which I can listen to at any time without missing a beat,so to speak.

I really do think if you will check out those bands listed above you'll have a good starting point. Like I mentioned before, I have been a giant Tool fan since Opiate, and the bands listed above have really broadened my horizons.

Give a few of those a shot, and let us know how you like them.

And another:

Immortal- All Shall Fall: (this one's for you bruNo) Abbath rules in this video btw :)

Yeah! Finally Abbath is assuming that funny side. :D

This video is a little weird, I lol'd in the part when Demonaz come in walking like a drunk.

Nothing beats his 'crab walk' at around the 2:20 mark. The face it makes on the last verse, 'warriors are crowned on this day' is classic.

Good to see he can find some humor in the typical Black Metal video.

Digging on Rage Viper, or at least the music it good. Singer not so much. Texas, you aren't completely crazy. Most of the new **** has lost touch with either the spirit of punk or the musicianship of thrash.

Albatross is most certainly not COC's best song, or even best off Deliverance imo. Clean my Wounds, Senior Limpio, Shake Like You...

or even better before Pepper...

I was browsing youtube and came across a couple of bands that interested me - Primordial and Agalloch... different styles, but I think I could definitely get into both of them. Anyone fans of them?

I decided to edit this with stuff I've been listening to of late.

The Sword - Warp Riders

Ridiculous solid rock and roll album with some great guitar work. This is the title track from the album

Earthless - Sonic Prayer

Gritty, dirty rock and roll. Part of 1 of the opening track

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-7s-T0puqw

Diecast - Day of Recoking

Older album from early 2000 that got a lot of heavy play on a local metal station, WSOU for you jersey people, that some of you guys may dig. The band has since lost this singer and have gone with another guy who is more "mainstream friendly" but the drummer in the band was insane. He nearly got picked to play with Slayer when they were looking for a new drummer a while back and doing try outs.

Melvins - Houdini

Does much really need to be said about this band and the huge influence they've had on bands

    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji The iPhone Fold is one of the most anticipated tech products expected to debut this fall. It will be Apple’s first foldable iPhone, ushering in a new product category for the company. While the first generation has yet to hit the shelves, a new leak suggests Apple has already begun work on its successor. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the second-generation iPhone Fold has already been confirmed, meaning Apple could launch a successor in fall 2027. The foldable iPhone is also reportedly referred to as the “iPhone Ultra,” though it remains unclear whether Apple will ultimately choose that branding, especially as Samsung is rumored to rename the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra this year. The leaker also claims that the second-generation foldable will feature a wider folding display while reusing the same screen found in the first generation. Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer screen in a passport-style form factor. It has already been reported that Apple plans to change its iPhone release cycle in 2026 to spread launches throughout the year. Under this strategy, the iPhone Fold is expected to debut this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive later in 2026 or in early 2027. Speaking of the iPhone Air, Digital Chat Station says Apple remains undecided about a third-generation model. The company is reportedly waiting to see how the iPhone Air 2 performs in the market, and if sales disappoint, a successor may never materialize. As we reported this week, the iPhone Air has not been scrapped from Apple’s plans. The second-generation model is reportedly scheduled for spring 2027 and could introduce upgrades such as an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography and improved battery life.
    • ahh yes the good old your opinion differs from mine so you are therefore insane lol destiny 1 had no agenda pushing and was a massive success of a game, if you clearly look online the team for some reason thought they had too many men on the team and went on a woman and dei recruitment drive and we all know how destiny 2 performed from then on in
    • The limited imaginations and business acumen of non-dominant players is simply that: the abject lack of creative business acumen. Businesses often want to operate in a financially-rewarding marketplace (free market economics) and/or exit/cash-out at maximal financial recompense. Money is their incentive; regulations are both their obstacles and their tools; politics is their means of influencing the marketplace. Google, in this story's example, is crying that AWS and Azure are "too dominant" -- cuz Google Cloud is not printing as much money as Alphabet wants (although it is still dramatically more than they actually need). The EU DMA should truly follow-the-money and treat the EU as its own sovereign nation in order to protect European market players: Domestic entities are exempt from market-influence regulations until absolute monopoly is achieved; Foreign (non-EU/non-Euro) entities are all regulated via stricter DMA measures whereby regulated partnership with independent domestic entity becomes the only way for foreign entities to 'tip the scale' for favorable financial remunerations. Basically create a dual-track aligning with China's foreign investment models. In my eyes, this is the only way to properly protect the European marketplace beyond the current dot-com/ai-bubble/social-media crazes.
