Just got my record player working, waited almost a week to get a new stylus. Ordered $360 worth of vinyl from France, something like 12 LPs. Looking forward to them. Current LPs are sounding mean.

 

[Twizzle]

what LPs did you get Martli

 

[TooheysNew]

You guys heard of Ne Obliviscaris? Six-piece progressive melodic metal band from Melborune. IMO this song is beautiful:

The opening 4 minutes or so is freaking awesome.

Wow, you're not wrong.

Thanks for posting that.

 

[perverse]

[adamkungl]

[Martli]

what LPs did you get Martli

Black/Death stuff. Bands like Blasphemy, conqueror etc.

[Twizzle]

Black/Death stuff. Bands like Blasphemy, conqueror etc.

[Martli]

Not sure. I try to avoid metal TV shows hahaha.

 

[Twizzle]

Its on Austar every Tuesday Night about 11 our time on MTV (ch810)

There is certainly some crap like 80s hair band stuff which has nothing to do with metal, but there is also some pretty good stuff from bands I've never seen before.

Well worth a look, I'm recording the whole series.

 

[Jason Maher]

Sorry to break it to you mate, but 80s hair metal is still metal.

 

[Twizzle]

its shit, nothing but pop music

when they play Bon Jovi it makes a mockery out of metal imo

 

[adamkungl]

What was regarded as heavy metal in the 70s and 80s is very different to now. Using less cringeworthy examples, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Guns n Roses were all considered heavy metal.

 

[Jason Maher]

Meh. "Such and such is not metal" is always code for "I think such and such is shit". Why not just say it's shit, instead of trying to act like some sort of gatekeeper over the (very) broad church of Heavy Metal? As far as I'm concerned, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and Blue Oyster Cult are metal. AC/DC, Motorhead, and Aerosmith are metal. Iron Maiden and Judas Priest are metal. Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, and Poison are metal. Metallica, Slayer, and Pantera are metal. A whole bunch of Scandinavian bands whose names I can't recall or pronounce are metal. et. etc. etc.

Listen to what you like, hang shit on what you don't like, but don't try and pretend your personal preferences define the genre.

Parkway drive. Best aussie metal band ever
