View Full Version : The Metal Thread \m/

Okay, so since the thread regarding Sweden tucking their tails between there legs over Islamic militants was evolving into a debate over which Scandinavian produced the best metal bands, I have done as suggested and started a new thread on this. I'll repeat what I said there to kick it off. I love pretty much all the offerings of metal that Scandinavia has put out.
Out of Finland, I like Children of Bodom, Mors Principium Est, Wintersun, Catamenia, Kalmah, Norther, and Nightwish. Follow the Reaper is one of the best metal albums in history, period.
Sweden has the offering of the creators and undisputed kings of melodic death metal with At the Gates, Dark Tranquility, and In Flames up until Soundtrack to Your Escape, when they turned into Swedish Korn (though Come Clarity was an awesome album). And I'll mention Amaranthe again. I went to go see them last year in NY and, as I expected: 1) They were awesome 2) Elize is even hotter in person!
I appreciate Norway's contribution to the metal world, though aside from Satyricon, which I love, I could never get into that low fidelity raw black metal like early Darkthrone (before they went punk), Mayhem, Gorgoroth, etc. I know that it was supposed to play into the Satanic ethos of black metal that "We make the music for ourselves and not for our fans", but it still sucks to listen to. That doesn't apply to bands like Dimmu Borgir and the others who "sold out" by defying Satan and trying to make some money and fans.
And since I mentioned Elize Ryd, I should also say that one of the other reasons to love metal is that the women of metal are 50 times more talented and about 1000 times more beautiful than any American slutty pop princess.
I stand by my opinion that Sweden narrowly edges Finland for the metal scene, as it's just way to hard to beat the big 3 for melodic death metal. Throw Soilwork in there and it makes it just that much harder!
Anyway, so that's my intro to the metal thread.
I'm a big fan of Dimmu Borgir, Lamb of God (saw them open for Metallica in Buffalo in 09), Metallica, Slayer, and a bunch of others.

I forgot how many good bands I used to listen too. Tomorrow is just going to be melodic death metal day.
Lots of Dimmu Borgir.
It's nice to see other fans of the best music genre in the world. Metal has such a wide spectrum of sounds, styles and themes that for me is very mood dependent, then it's especially fascinating to see how much crossover each of these bands have with each other and the sound each individual can add to an entirely different breed of the music.
Some of my favorites after a "quick" scroll through my iTunes.

Probably the greatest Metal band of all time.
Once upon a time, I was obsessed with In Flames, until they went full-retard. The loss of Jesper Strömblad sent them straight down the toilet. (Side note, if you are not familiar with Sinergy, their first album had Jesper Strömblad and Alexi Laiho on git-fiddles).
While I have two tons of love for old In Flames, old Opeth (when Peter Lindgren was still on guitars, ATG/The Haunted, Soilwork, and Dark Tranquility, I am more fond of the Finns (COB, Norther, Wintersun, Kalmah).
A guilty pleasure of mine is Viking-Metal: Thyrfing, Ensiferum, Turisas, Korpiklaani, etc.
While I'm as red-blooded a patriot as one can get, American Metal, with the exception of Lamb of God, is for children. Scandinavians absolutely dominate the genre.

Agreed. Much of modern American heavy metal has roots in hardcore punk as opposed to thrash and power metal. Metalcore/melodic death hybrid bands like As I Lay Dying (before Tim tried to kill his wife), Still Remains, and Unearth put out some good stuff, and they openly admit that their biggest influences are the Swedish and Finnish melodic death bands. One trend I like from the American metal bands is that many of them do covers of pop songs and make them listenable.
Another country's metal that doesn't get enough love is The Netherlands. Granted, Dutch symphonic metal is more of rock/metal, but it's good if you're in the mood for something lighter than MDM or black metal. Within Temptation and Delain are amazing bands!

I've never been able to get into Lamb of God and just cringe when they pop up on Pandora. In a whole that's true for the majority of "metal" out of this country for me. Aside from Warrel Dane/Nevermore/Sanctuary, Iced Earth, Dragonlord and a handful of others I really can't think of any American metal that has made much of an impression to me over the years.

I think they are Finnish?

First three albums were a male vocalist, then Angela Gossow came in at Wages of Sin(the only album of theirs I care for) until recently where she stepped down to manage and selected a new female, more of the same meh sound.

No argument there, though Jesper Stromblad and Bjorn Gelotte during In Flames' pre-Soundtrack were a very close second.

I caught one of their sets when playing shows at SXSW some time ago and was impressed, they play loud and the vocalist is pretty brutal- funny guy too.
There is tons of good American metal, all genres of metal- most of it is somewhat underground though and most people only know of the big guys.
Some of the best metal I've seen was in a basement or at an old car garage gutter punk slum venue with 10-20 other people.
Can't believe I forgot to put carcass on that euro list. Those guys kill it live!

Dude, I love almost all metal. Even some of the hair band metal crap!
I'm huge into all metal, but lately I listen to mostly metalcore/ mathcore/avant-garde metal. Like dillenger Escape plan, converge (one of my all time favorite metal or otherwise bands- BRUTAL live shows!!!) shellac, botch, coalesce, psyopus, cave in, Knut, cable, etc.
Looks like we have some good metal heads here at M4C. \m/
I listen to metal LOUD, beyond loud. I played in punk/crust/metal/jazz/hardcore/ska bands from age 12 to 30 so my ears are toast.
Whenever I have a metal album in my truck (I've got a pretty decent/robust surround system) on and the wife borrows my car afterwards- it is hilarious. I never turn it down when I turn the car off, and it comes on full bore when she turns the car on. The look on her face and the jump in her seat is priceless every time. :haha:
I got to be a fan of Swedish metal years ago though I'm not a fan of quite the extreme stuff. I like Evergrey for prog/power metal, Katatonia for doom, Scar Symmetry for a little melodeth, The Haunted for some thrash and Soilwork as a solid favorite.
Italy has Disarmonia Mundi with guest vocals by Speed from Soilwork. England has TesseracT. Australia has Karnivool and Parkway Drive.
'Murica still has some interesting stuff. Dirge Within, As I Lay Dying, God Forbid, Slipknot, Divine Heresy, Killswitch Engage and Machine Head still going strong.
I'm sure I'm forgetting some.
Meshuggah, Opeth, Ola Englund.
Sweden wins.

Wow...Iced Earth. I was so hoping they would break into themed "Colonial/Patriot Metal" but it never quite made it that far. I always thought that would make a cool one off side-project genre. Still Jon Schaffer is a badass.
I'm pretty much with you on American Metal. Other than Iced Earth, I could almost-ALMOST get into Shadows Fall, but they're just Scandinavian-Lite.
If I wanted some Scandi Metal, I'll go for the real deal, thanks.
I tend to have more of an interest in more european metal bands over American ones, mostly due to sound, content, and personal taste. That and I have a hard time shoehorning bands into a concrete genre. I guess I never got the memo about what concretely characterized on genre such as metal. Although I admit freely that I can be a little schizo in my musical tastes with playlists that have everything from Five Finger Death Punch and Bloodsimple to Johnny Cash and Simon and Garfunkel on them. And that on a single playlist mind you. I tend to like to use to paraphrase a line I once read in a book, "I can appreciate almost any kind of music. But if I can kill to it then it meets all of my requirements." That does, however, mean that I have lots of single songs, or a few songs by a band which I really like, and don't care for much else of their stuff.
Anyway, I am happy to admit that I have more than just a handful of the bands mentioned here on my ipod, Nightwish Children of Boden being two that I think I listen to the most that have been mentioned, and have listened to several others, like Arch Enemy, more than a couple times while trying to find new bands and seeing if their sound grew on me. That said, in regards to metal, I tend to be drawn to the stuff that is usually more symphonic in nature with the two that get probably the most time on my ipod falling to Nightwish and Delain with a scattering of others who i pick up one or two songs thrown in for good measure.
Anyway, excuse me while I make a list and go explore some bands, since my ipod is low on new stuff and I have like a month before I next CD I have been waiting for come out.

:laugh:
Anyway, I knew there had to be some good metal folk lurking about, Mah peeps! :cool:
Some of these bands listed here... man... haven't listened to some of these in ages.
I remember "back in the day" I stumbled across a few bands on Myspace- As I Lay Dying (their classic "shadows are security" album), All That Remains (This Darkened Heart/ Fall of Ideals), and this crazy speed metal band called Dragonforce (I know, you can see the cheese dripping off their albums, but I dare you to find another band that fast).
It was all downhill from there.
I've always leaned more towards the "melodic" end of the metal spectrum, so all the ones mentioned here like Soilwork, In Flames (Clayman!), Scar Symmetry, Dark Tranquility etc, etc..
Frankly, SS is pretty much slaying in the melodic genre. I haven't heard their latest, but they just have that "it" factor that even though they can get just a little fruity at times, it's still epic. Of course Pitch Black Progress is still the quintessential SS album.
Soilwork, DT, liked their older stuff, new stuff...meh. I liked DT's "Character" and "Fiction" albums, just couldn't get into them after that. Soilwork, right around Figure Number Five they just seemed to have lost their "punch" if you will.
In Flames, well... this has already been well covered here. :(
As far as other bands to add to the compilation here- some old[er] stuff some may be familiar with:
Into Eternity (The Scattering of Ashes is a classic)
Before the Dawn (They had one decent album- their first. The others... not so much)
Not really hardcore "metal", but still awesome:
Grand Magus- (Epic viking-esque music to form your shieldwall to)
Mercenary- (now disbanded, but one of the best old bands in the Melodic genre)
Sabaton- (because who doesn't like epic historically based metal?)
I know there's a few more I can't remember off the top of my head.
I’m a huge metal fan, but not so much death metal. I prefer there to be some kick ass guitar riffs, some barking, but also some good vocals. Grew up on old school Metallica and they’re still the best, IMO. As of newer bands, I like: All That Remains, 5FDP, As I Lay Dying, Trivium, Bullet for my Valentine some Devil Driver, a little new-age thrash like Dragonforce (Herman Li is a magician on the guitar), etc.

Yeah, that would have pissed me off too. Actually it does piss me off, since I apparently missed them too :( . It sucks that the area up here puts you really in a nice middle ground for some awesome shows, but timing and funds will screw you faster than shit. I did get to see two pretty damn good shows this past year though. Need to see if Clutch going to be near by this coming year, what with them releasing a new album and all, they are on my list of bands to see live, among several others, though they not really metal.
I'm hoping to make this show. I don't care for Soulfly but there's Soilwork and the other two bands are decent from what I've heard of their tracks.

That's what I always tell people: If you like a certain genre of music (metal included), like it because you like the sound, no other reason. If you listen to certain bands or genres as a way of rebelling against corporate America, or you believe that a person's music preference reflects upon their worth as a person, you're a self-important dumbass.
