Im looking for recommendations for metal music based off slayer, and In Flames. I mainly go for death metal, not a fan of screamo. Dont yell at me if im ignorant. Screw this.. educate me in metal.

Listen to ur mom bitchface.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #2 on:** 10 Mar 2007, 22:24 »

...Oh hell, I'm just gonna say it.

Testament. Listen to Testament.

Misereatur · « **Reply #3 on:** 11 Mar 2007, 03:16 »

Yes.

And then some Nevermore.

MadassAlex · « **Reply #4 on:** 11 Mar 2007, 04:10 »

Slayer is thrash metal btw. Just for ya knowledge.

I suggest Testament, Megadeth and SuidAkrA

Lummer · « **Reply #5 on:** 11 Mar 2007, 05:31 »

Go buy Carcass' "Heartwork", and I'm pretty sure you'll never listen to In Flames again.

Otherwise, check out Arsis. For the love of god, CHECK OUT ARSIS!!!

And Death. Death kick fuckin' ass.

Come on Ostrich, obviously this guy didn't do much lurking. Just recommend him some goddamn metal. Maybe help him with some genres and I think we can give you your soul back.

Try out some KharBevNor boredom, you'll get what you want from him. *Wink*

Trollstormur · « **Reply #7 on:** 11 Mar 2007, 16:12 »

get every Absu and Melechesh album ever.

boredom · « **Reply #8 on:** 11 Mar 2007, 19:32 »

Thanks guys, ill look into these bands as soon as I can.

MusicScribbles · « **Reply #9 on:** 11 Mar 2007, 19:39 »

ah, shit, by KharBevNor, I meant the user KharBevNor boredom. Don't go looking a band with a similar name. Listen to some Isis or something instead. Or maybe Agalloch.

Gridgm · « **Reply #10 on:** 12 Mar 2007, 00:08 »

jsut for the hell of it i'm going to recomend you death-grind

the berzerker

fuck!...i'm dead

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_heavy_metal_genres

I suggest you use this to refine what you're asking for. Metal is a great genre, but there's a lot of variation. I go mainly for power metal myself (operatic vocals, dragons, and elves, heh) but there's a ton of good stuff in every subgenre.

FYI, In Flames would probably be considered Melodic Death, though their more recent albums have more electronic influences, so death my not claim them as readily these days.

Scytale · « **Reply #12 on:** 12 Mar 2007, 00:58 »

I'd say there recent output was Nu Metal...

Since you listed Slayer a Thrash band an In Flames Melodic Death

I'll recocmend some melodic thrash

Check out The Haunted, especially their Album "Made me Do it" and the last At The Gates album "Slaughter of the Soul" both of those are nice and melodic with decent enough thrash riffs.

Jotun · « **Reply #13 on:** 12 Mar 2007, 06:06 »

Witchery, The Crown, Enslaved, Kreator, Destruction, Testament, Sodom

McTaggart · « **Reply #14 on:** 12 Mar 2007, 07:17 »

I don't really listen to very much metal, but from bits and pieces I've heard and bought and gotten into I'd say Electric Wizard, Earth, Sunn o))), Boris. No idea if that's vaguely what you're after, but I like the doomier stuff.

amok · « **Reply #15 on:** 12 Mar 2007, 07:32 »

Dark Tranquillity. Everything by Dark Tranquillity. And get the song 'Unas, Slayer Of The Gods' by Nile for jokes. I'm not too sure on the rest of their material yet but that one is epic.

I love you, Troll.

Also, where the hell is Khar? We need someone to recommend Acid Bath.

MusicScribbles · « **Reply #17 on:** 12 Mar 2007, 15:02 »

Yeah dude, I thought he'd be the first in this thread. Althought I have no idea why...

Technetium · « **Reply #18 on:** 12 Mar 2007, 17:36 »

Meshuggah
Opeth
Agalloch
Isis
Biomechanical
Scar Symmetry
At the Gates
Nile

Some of those have more death-metal elements than others (actually, I'd never call Agalloch a death-metal band, but they do have some "harsh" vocals. They're awesome anyway).

Coming Home · « **Reply #19 on:** 12 Mar 2007, 19:27 »

Venom-Metal Black
Celtic Frost- Monotheist
Lamb of God- Sacrament
Death-Symbolic
Mastodon- Leviathan
Killswitch Engage- As Daylight Dies
The Autumn Offering- Embrace the Gutter
Between The Buried and Me- Alaska
Amon Amarth- With Oden On Our Side
Darkest Hour- The Mark of Judas

'tis what I've been listening to, lately.

McTaggart · « **Reply #20 on:** 13 Mar 2007, 05:18 »

It's tempting to just say 'Merzbow' in every one of these recommendations threads.

MusicScribbles · « **Reply #21 on:** 13 Mar 2007, 07:15 »

Slint 'Spiderland' anyone? THAT WAS A JOKE boredom!
This thread should be kept alive just for Khar.

No way, dude. Foreign lands always have 'fuck holes' so metal fans can rape the land.
It's way hardcore. :B

Soidanae · « **Reply #26 on:** 13 Mar 2007, 19:05 »

iTunes has an "indie spotlight" on metal, and most of it sounds decent through the samples.

Some of it is barely metal, but hey.

voidoid · « **Reply #27 on:** 23 Mar 2007, 19:08 »

get "prowler in the yard" by pig destroyer, the best grindcore i ever heard. and for the love of god don't go near any berzerker record!! it's very weak and very sad because their label (actually it's one guy and he uses a drum machine) said this was the most extreme band in the world... it sounds like a retarded alien grunting and banging on a tin can with a metal spoon.. sooooo pathetic..
be sure to read the pig destroyer lyrics.. the guy gets away with talking about horror&guts&gore and being poetic at the same time lollololol

barnacle · « **Reply #28 on:** 23 Mar 2007, 20:29 »

arch enemy - doomsday machine
bolt thrower - those once loyal
dark tranquility - fiction (not released yet)
strapping young lad - alien
the project hate mcmxcix - armageddon march eternal: symphonies of slit wrists

arch enemy and dark tranquility sound a lot like in flames. this is more true with dark tranquility. they seem to have better production than in flames.
bolt thrower is like slayer, but less thrash, more death.
syl is different.
tph is a mix of a bunch of styles. one of the vocalists is the best death metal vocalist i have heard.

Scytale · « **Reply #29 on:** 24 Mar 2007, 01:30 »

Heh are you talking about the Australain Death/Grind band "The Bezerker"

They do use a drummer he just plays so fast it sounds like a drum machine, apparently they measured him at 19 beats per second, which is insane...

I saw them live once, absolutely crazy, but yeah it's like a fair bit of other grind you really have to be in a certain mood to listen to them. Their concerts are great though, kind of like Blood-Duster, shitty on records but great live.

Into The Void · « **Reply #30 on:** 10 Apr 2007, 23:26 »

If you want doomier stuff try Pentagram, Sun O))), Bedemon, Cathedral.
Im surprised no-one has recommended more traditional metal yet. Try some Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne, Dio. Early Man are also good and even once got a mention in one of the comics. Also listen to some Black Sabbath, I don't really consider it metal more hard rock but awesome nonetheless.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #31 on:** 11 Apr 2007, 00:56 »

If you don't think 'No One Wins' by Berzerker is a bad-ass song, I'm not sure I want to be your friend.

Sorry

I'd also like to point out that The Berzerker is an industrial death metal band and that they have five members.

Also, Pig Destroyers new stuff is good but kinda commercial (if grindcore can be commercial...). That said, I'd probably take Terrifyer over Prowler in the Yard. My personal favourite grind release is 'Perfect Collection. Original Sound Version' by Discordance axis, followed up by Napalm Deaths all time classic 'Scum' (YOU SUFFER, BUT WHY?) and then Circle of Dead Childrens 'Human Harvest', though I am far from an expert on grindcore.

carmageddonstein · « **Reply #32 on:** 11 Apr 2007, 07:08 »

Once again, I must recommend Knorkator and Naio Ssaion.

Also, maybe check out Therion.

And if you haven't been listening to Arch Enemy already, maybe you're not ready for this thread? lol

Scytale · « **Reply #33 on:** 11 Apr 2007, 07:31 »

Khar and others have you heard much Cephalic Carnage, they used to be the really 'hyped up' grind band everyone was talking about years ago AFAIK they just dropped off the face of the planet.

I personally think Harmony Corruption is the best Napalm Death album, I love Lee Dorian but HC just kills.

Also on grind the early Carcass albums, especially "Symphonies of Sickness" are fucking awesome. In fact every album Carcass released was killer.

The Berserker is just so obscene
Likes evil people you know what I mean
He takes your soul and then just rips you apart
He'll steal your heart

My love for you is ticking clock, Berserker

Yes.

Their last album is highly recommended.

Springy · « **Reply #36 on:** 11 Apr 2007, 09:19 »

I would say Mithotyn, regardless of the fact that they're not really like In Flames or Slayer (from what of heard of those two, Mithotyn is much better. Viking metal, with enough death to keep you interested)

I can't really add anything else that no-one else has said, but i will say that Dark Tranquillity and Arch Enemy are must listens
Testament is good, but only if you listen to The Gathering. Their other albums are...not so good

Seconded.

Also, Blind Guardian are power metal, but depending on the album, badass, skull-splitting, blood-drinking power metal.

If you like Slayer (thrash metal), then Testament and Megadeth should set you right. Iced Earth are also power metal, but very thrashy power metal. SuiAkrA rock (www.myspace.com/suidAkrA) as well, melodic black death metal.

Scytale · « **Reply #40 on:** 11 Apr 2007, 22:22 »

Hmm if you like Suidarkra you'll probablly dig Primordial.

"Somewhere Far Beyond" is the best Blind Gaurdian album imo, some killer songs on that album , "Ashes to Ashes", "Quest for Tanelorn", "Journey Through the Dark" etc, very good riffs and the production is amazing, just raw enough that it's still listenable.

Tastes vary, and all that. And I never said they were bad, just that the Gathering was the only one of their albums that i think really stands out

MadassAlex · « **Reply #42 on:** 12 Apr 2007, 06:40 »

Personally my favourite album of theirs was "The New Order".

I can see why some might not like Testament (I didn't at first) but when it comes down to it, I think they stack up as a major thrash band, if not commericially then musically.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #43 on:** 12 Apr 2007, 11:43 »

The thing is, Testament has reinvented themselves musically about 4 times and done it very well each time. I suppose that not every style would appeal to everyone, but I personally enjoy just about every phase of their career.

Listen to Haggar, they have a very unique sound (though I guess its not hard to when you have violins, chellos, and opera singers along with 3 electric guitars and a mean ass german vocalist)

here's me being techinical again all albums except for the second one use a drum machine on the album however when they play live they use a drummer who pretty much does intensive training for the sole purpose of being able to play as fast as on the album

as scytale said they are awesome live...for a while their first album wasn't making a profit not because of low sales but because the damage bill to property was so high at the venues they were playing
