Metal thread \m/

[Non Terminator]

I get my first pay in nearly two months tomorrow week. Eight days. So much I'd love to buy.
Pain Of Salvation on at the moment. After seeing them on a list from Angry Metal Guy, been getting back into their CDs...

 

[Zigwaa]

Yeah new carcass is good hey.

Are they expected to tour Australia at all soon?

 

[Non Terminator]

Early pay mofos. Taking some recommendations. Bought Warbringer, Black Dahlia, Baroness, Katakalysm...great shit so far.

WOO thread revival.

new Black Dahlia is f**king sick. And if you're someone like me who tends to gloss over hard to understand death vox and never look up the lyrics, don't make that mistake with this album. Some absolutely brilliant, twisted, utterly f**ked up and creative shit.

Best recommendations for someone into the goth, power, symphonic, folk, celtic and viking genres of metal?

Symphonic: Kamelot

Celtic/Folk: Eluveitie

Viking: Turisas, Amon Amarth

Goth: Cradle Of Filth (sorta...)

Power: Blind Guardian, 3 Inches Of Blood (EXCELLENT band), Iced Earth, Helloween

Just some of my personal favourites.

I'd add...

Symphony X (power-prog)

Enslaved (viking-black-prog)

Nightwish (goth) come at me bro, Nightwish are awesome

Stratovarius (as cheesy as power metal gets)

Going to see King parrot for the first time tonight here in Brissy. Should be good!!

 

[Springs]

Nightwish got me into goth metal. Also heard Enslaved. I'll have to check out Symphony X

New game.. top 10 albums by decade.

Starting with.. 2000s. Albums released between 2000-2009. Your favourites, genre definers, or just straight up awesome shit.

For me, it's largely nostalgia based - the shit that I was listening to when I got into various kinds of metal and that I keep coming back to.


10 - Iron Maiden - Brave New World

9 - Primal Fear - 16.6

8 - Stratovarius - Infinite

7 - Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake

6 - In Flames - Come Clarity

5 - Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini

4 - Opeth - Blackwater Park

3 - Dream Theater - Train of Thought

2 - Machine Head - The Blackening

1 - Symphony X - Paradise Lost

 

[Springs]

Don't want to be a downer but wasn't Nightfall in Middle Earth released in '98? If not then that's my no. 1. Not sure about the other 9 just yet.

Same along with Within Temptation
Nightwish sound shitloads better with he new singer but she got dumped recently too

 

[adamkungl]

nightwish current singer is probs better than both previous

 

[Non Terminator]

Definitely. Floor Jansen suits the role well. Bought the live album today, she nails some of the old Tarja stuff.

 

[Zigwaa]

10 - Hatebreed - Perserverance

9 - The Haunted - Revolver

8 - Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake

7 - Blood Duster - merkin

6 - Opeth - Ghost Reveries

5 - System of A Down - Toxicity

2 - Killswitch Engage - The End of Heartache

1 - Parkway Drive - Horizons

Going to see King parrot for the first time tonight here in Brissy. Should be good!!

King Parrott are f**king excellent.

 

[beave]

Yeah they were good. I didnt hang around for Havok as it was a school night, Matt Skitz is an insane drummer.

The best analogy for King Parrot i can think of is watching them live is akin to getting acid thrown in your face!

 

[Eelementary]

Kiwi metal band Subtract's latest, "Talk Minus Action Equals Nothing" is pretty good.

Oh shit we're playing this game? Hmmmm ... this will take me a while to get right. Excuse me while I do some thinking out loud.


Okay, Opeth ... best album is Morningrise but that's mid 90s. So I guess Blackwater Park tops the 2000s albums from their perspective.

Devin Townsend - Ziltoid
Devin Townsend - Physicist

Ayreon - The Human Equation

Hmmmm .... In Flames' best stuff was before 2000 so they're out.

Immortal - Sons of Northern Darkness

I'll have to think about this more and come back.
