Borderline metal?

<< < (2/8) > >>

weevil:
The Fucking Champs.

Signum_Tenebrae:
What do The Fucking Champs sound like?  One of the members played in an incredible black metal band (who are unfortunately now defunct) called Weakling.

Kai:
Wait, what exactly is this thread about? Prog metal? Metal that's infused with other stuff? EIther way I've got your fix.

Kossie:
A bit off topic, but this is where the people that may have heard of the band would be. I told this guy to take a listen to a few Dragonforce songs, in particular I said Starfire, as he usually likes ballad-type and other melodic songs. Well, he did and the thing that really got me angry, confused, and made me generally say "WHAT THE FUCK THE ABSOLUTE RETARD!" was that he thought it sounded emo. EMO. I'm not talking like old emocore stuff, like he actually similarised it to Simple Plan.

At the risk of sounging emo, I am still going to say, what is wrong with society!? We've become so afraid and angry with emos that theres now a state of mass emo-phobia! So what's the limit that a song writer can write an emotional song without being called an emo these days? Bear in mind that also after I told this guy Iced Earth were a good band, he looked at some of the lyrics and said they sounded emo. ARRRRR!!!!

KharBevNor:
I'm not quite sure what tack we're going for here, but I think I have it down enough to suggest that you seek out music by Wuthering Heights, Demons and Wizards, Dark Moor, Turisas, Ensiferum, Secret Sphere, Star One, late Therion, and possibly Wizard and Domine. A bit either side of what you're talking about, but it's a narrow gap (basically, power bands with keys, almost).

Of course, the obvious one to mention is Nightwish's early material, but I'll probably be shouted at. Nowt wrong with Angels Fall First though.

And of course, I'm pretty keen on this kinda stuff, though I always thought Sonata Arctica were terribly over-rated.
