I picked up Doomsday Machine last saturday and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Coming from someone who usually can't stomach death metal vocals, that's gotta mean something. Nemesis and Mechanic God Creation are sufficiently awesome for me to freak out over them.




That's only because her "death" vocals aren't good death vocals.

Even I can't get into all death vocalists. Trying to imagine Spirit Crusher without Chuck's ridiculously over-the-top vocal delivery is difficult though. I don't think it'd be nearly as much fun.

I have to say, though, listening to the extra material on Wages of Sin made me cringe.

No, I'm sorry, "Aces High" doesn't work with yells.

The thing I'm really enjoying about the album, though, is how much songs like "Burning Angel" and "Heart of Darkness" almost sound like pop songs, wiht strong, would-be-melodic-without-the-roar choruses and great harmonies.  I would be really curious to hear the same band, except with an operatic vocalist instead, just to wonder at the magnificence that would ensue.

I saw Arch Enemy at the Chicago house of blues yesterday and they were absolutely amazing. Amott is one hell of a guitarist and Gossow does a pretty good job on vocals, air-guitar and air-drums :) Their older songs (the ones that i havent herd before because i only have Doomsday Machine) sounded better live than the new ones, so i'll probably going to dig a little deeper and buy some of their earlier cds.

The opening bands were kind of meh, except, maybe Hate Eternal, but their songs were somewhat repetitive and that "taka taka taka" drum got really annoying after second or third song.

I think ABBA are the most metal band out there, and only Therion happen to agree with me, but liking Disturbed doesn't make them metal.

I think there's more than one metal tributes to ABBA. At least there was one specifically for Scandinavia and it most definitely did not have anyone as big as Therion on it.

To each his own, I guess.

To be fair, Disturbed was only really nu-metal on The Sickness. On Believe and Ten Thousand Fists they play something more akin to traditional metal. Fewer electronics, no rapping (although really, the only thing close to rapping Disturbed ever did was Droppin' Plates), and eventually, guitar solos.

I think that outside of The Sickness, Disturbed is pretty much qualified to be a Pantera tribute band or something. I heard 'em play 'Walk' once, and it was pretty much spot on, and that's when I realized that they actually have a somewhat similar sound.

Why I like them is probably a sort of respect because they stopped playing nu-metal around the same time I got disillusioned with the genre and started looking for more music, reinforcing my belief that there's gotta be something more.

They are quite repetitive at times, though.

Yeah, Dan's a pretty terrible guitarist. I think he might have actually been playing guitar for a whole month before they started the band.

Hey, but at least they're trying. That meshes with me. Also, I think the drummer is pretty good, and Draiman is a hilarious vocalist, and fun to scream along with.

Can't judge their new bassist, but you couldn't judge their old one either. You can't hear them.

I guess I basically just like them out of nostalgia. Which is weird, because they're actually a fairly young band. Curse my late 80's birthdate!

You know, Walk is pretty much the easiest Pantera (or maybe even the easiest metal) song ever. That's the reason why terrible bands (such as Disturbed and Trivium) always play it "in tribute."



As for Disturbed, they're just nu/alternative metal*, meaning they have few metal influences, but are mainly just a rock band. Guitar solos≠metal.







*neither nu- or alternative metal are real metal sub-genres, they're rather just light descriptions, as many nu- and/or alternative metal bands can sound very different from one another. There's always a main genre that the band falls under, which is usually rock.

I don't listen to much Metallica, therefore I haven't heard that song. I'll listen to it now, and since it's an 8 and a half minute song, if I can learn it all in less than 15 minutes(starting from when I first listen to the song), I will consider it not difficult at all.

Hey, I'm not defending Trivium here, they write terrible music, but you gotta give 'em more credit than being able to just play Walk.

Also, when I heard Disturbed play it, it was before Dimebag was killed, so it's not really in 'tribute'. They just wanted to play Walk.

Personally, I have a prejudice towards Trivium. I know they're competant players, but as you said they are not good song writers. I just really don't like them in any way.




Still listening to Master of Puppets. It's almost over.

Trivium, much as I dislike them, has some talent.  

Disturbed on the other hand...are basically what everyone has been calling, them, a poor hard rock band that got lumped in with all the nu-metal bands.  Playing power chords and screaming sometimes does not a metal band make.

Also, while I respect them as musician's to an extent, Pantera is really rather boring. And I partially blame them for jumpstarting nu-metal, though they weren't really themselves.

I thought Cradle of Filth had two male singers at first, as well. Or at least, one of the guitarists would do those semi-spoken bits. This was probably not helped by the fact they got that creepy guy with a beard looking as if he was singing in the Her Ghost in the Fog vid. I wised up relatively quickly though.

ok where in hell did the term Melodeth come from?

ive like Carcass since 1991 and they were definately just deathmetal then.

For some real musicianship try either mercyful fate or king diamond, same singer, slightly different styles in playing.

i thought Arch Enemy was ok, just more like a death metal band who tried to copy maiden, early metallica, and manowar, and ended up bored with it after about the 3rd time i heard the album

also can anyone link me to the speed metal topic, i cant find the thing

Another metal thread? Where am I, Blabbermouth.net or what?

Actually, I like it that a band like Arch Enemy can get the approval of non-metal-heads.

Melodeth is just a term that was invented by the press. Same with nu-metal; bands like Biohazard and Rage Against The Machine used to be called cross-over metal and Korn played something called spookycore (hate the term too).

Two words to add to the whole "Master Musician" discussion. Neil. Young.
