Any adult Dis'ers into Hardcore Metal?

[maddhatir]

... I don't know who that comment was directed at, but I love talking bands so I thought I'd throw some names into the hat.

......to anyone who has suggestions Thanx!!
I am going to head over to youtube and give them all a listen!

 

[metalis4ever]

Have you tried Blood Red Throne. I am anticipating their album as well as the new Enslaved album.
You might like One Man Army and the Undead Quartet, Bolt Thrower, Entombed, Malevolent Creation, Impaled... I don't know who that comment was directed at, but I love talking bands so I thought I'd throw some names into the hat.

All those bands are amazing especially Bolt Thrower....I would also like to add to the list of suggestions.... Immolation, Vital Remains, Altar, Vader, Rotting Christ, And Oceans, Dark Disciple, Suffocation, Mortician, Cattle Decapitation, Devourement, Dying Fetus, Skeleton Witch, Impaled Nazarine, Cryptopsy, Six Feet Under, Brutal Truth, Arch Enemy(old though the album "Stigmata" for example), Goat Wre(purposly censored add an H and an O)...
I am sure that everyone probably already knows most of those bands but just in case you don't. Also a couple of those are wicked brutal i.e. Devourement (Texas Death Metal) so they aren't for everyone.

I love Altar I think that they are often overlooked. They aren't brutal but I find them to be entertaining.

 

[metalis4ever]

The only metal I like is Slipknot.

If you like the band I shall not speak of, you should check out the band Acid Bath....They are the band that the band you mention ripped off errrr I mean got alot of their sound from musically. Not vocally as that guy wishes he sounded like Dax Riggs lol

All joking aside you should check out "When the kite string pops" or "Paegan Terrorist Tactics" as both those albums are classic!!!!

 

[metalis4ever]

I gave a listen to the bands you are all discussing. They are not bands that I listen to- but I like to try new things.

I seem to like a more heavy sound- Morbid Angel, Carcass, Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, Amon Amarth....

..... I tried! Keep the suggestions coming!

I can see you not liking Bodom or In Flames but I am shocked that you didn't like At The Gates, they are like a heavy Slayer....I personally enjoy their cover of "Captor of Sin" better than the original..
But yeah I guess if you don't enjoy Thrash as much as Death than it makes sense for you not to like At The Gates...
Having said that if you haven't before you should check out German Thrash it's heavier i.e. Sodom, Kreator and Destruction.
btw sorry I am on my Wii so I couldn't use the multi quote function, hense the seperate replies.

Good bands. I never got Mortician though, its like 2 minute long horror movie sound clips and 1 minute of drums.

i've been out of the scene and not staying up with bands so my knowledge is limited with new bands.

Glad you liked them!
I know what you mean about the lights. I was at a Gojira show once and the strobe light was placed facing outwards, face-level with me. When the set started, about 5 of us up front just through are hands up and covered our faces. One of the stage guys came over and turned it away from our faces and we all started applauding him.

 

[mr.bungle]

I don't recall if I posted in here or not. I love me some metal! All different kinds. I DO NOT like the mainstream wimpy stuff such as Korn, Slipknot, etc...

Some of my favorites:
Between the Buried and Me
Dark Tranquillity
Kalmah
Children of Bodom
Fantomas
Slayer
Disarmonia Mundi
Soilwork
etc...

Here is a pic from when I met Kerry King at the NAMM show.

I've also been able to meet Chuck Billy from Testament. Also GWAR. GWAR's music isn't my favorite but they put on a great show.

I happened to have my sunglasses on top of my head so I put those on Did not help in the least. We left. I did not care b/c I was there to see Exodus who opened up for Kreator. I would have stayed if the lights were not so blinding.

Did not have any light problem when we saw Gojira- thank GOD b/c I would have been really disappointed if anything got in the way of the show- I LUV Gojira!

Kerry and Chuck are the %$#@!

Do you know that Kerry breeds/cross breeds snakes? Just a tid bit of info.

I've heard that about Kerry. He was real low key and friendly. I wish I could have met Dave Lombardo because I love his work with Fantomas. I'm a drummer myself.

For the record, Chuck Billy is HUGE! Really nice guy.

This is my former co worker with Chuck at our booth NAMM 2009. I was fortunate enough to be able to work NAMM 3 years in a row and see or meet many of my idols.

And then with Arch Enemy:

I just remembered one more. Not technically metal, but every musician and rock fan knows these guys. I got to meet Christopher Guest (Nigel Tufnel) when he came in to my old work just before the most recent Spinal Tap reunion (2008 I think). I worked for a manufacturer of guitar pedals he liked so he came by and bought some. I got to "ring him up". It was surreal. I wish I could have been allowed to sit in while he was testing the pedals in our studio but I was low on the totem pole.

Yeah I don't like posers either oooops I mean "mainstream" bands LOL

SLAYER and Testament are 2 of my favs of all time...easily 2 of the top 5 American Thrash bands of all time. Skolnick in my opinion is the best Thrash guitarist of all time...King and Hanneman are legends and amazing but in my opinion Skolnick is god, even his stuff with Savatage was amazing.
Thats cool that you got to meet Chuck and Kerry.

I saw in a more recent post you mentioned Lombardo, how do you feel about Bostaph I enjoy both he and Dave but I love Paul's work with Forbidden!!
Where does everyone stand American vs Europrean Thrash? Granted both are diverse in their own right and I always find it hard to pick when asked that question. In all reality it's not even a question that should be asked after all American ruled up until 1991-92 when grunge almost destroyed American Metal. Were it not for bands like Queensryche, Pantera, Iced Earth, Death, Fear Factory, Machine Head, Corrosion of Conformity, EyeHateGod, Crowbar, Acid Bath, Morbid Angel, Obituary, Cannibal Corpse and even Dream Theater; American Metal would have gone into hibernation for half a decade. Anyway from 1993-94 up until around 2001-2002 European Thrash along with Sepultura picked up the torch and took Thrash to whole new levels....Of course now both are destroying life and now with the new wave of American Thrash with bands such as Toxic Holocaust, SkeletonWitch, Warbringer and Municipal Waste we Thrash fans have plenty to blast loud and proud!!!

You know me all too well, that is the one and only Hard Rock band on this planet that I have ZERO respect for. As Peter Griffin would say : You know what really grinds my gears? When people consider bands Metal that aren't just because they wear "scary" masks and bang their instruments loud.

Ahhh yes I remember speaking with you about that show because I went to it as well but for some reason the strobe lights weren't as bad at the venue in Worcester Ma. However, the last time I saw Children of Bodom the strobe lights were so bad that I have to get out of the pit as they were giving me a migraine. It's like these bands make a little scratch and they think "you know what we need to show that we made it?.....Strobe lights"

Sorry my memory isn't what it used to be, I am getting old.....Well that and all the from my teen years are catching up to me.....

love all those bands.

When did all of these "screaming" bands creep up on me!!?? ie Suicide Silence, As I Lay Daying.....etc. It seems like I am hearing more and more of these bands on Liquid Metal, and I don't like it. It gives me a headache. A friend of a friend was taking her son to the "Cool Tour" show and I told her to bring her earplugs.

What catagory of metal would this fit into??

I sound like an old lady "turn that crap down, it's giving me a headache"

I prefer my men to have kind of a low growl, thank you very much.

As I Lay Dying would be Metalcore......The best Metalcore comes from Massachusetts as those bands fused Boston Hardcore with Metal..... Killswitch Engage, Unearth, Diecast, All THat Remains, Shadows Fall etc.... I saw every one of those bands dozens of times each from their infancy to present day.....Same goes for the second place Metalcore state which is New York where Metalcore was born with Vision of Disorder followed by bands such as Mindset, Sworn Enemy, God Forbid (NJ close enough), It Dies Today.....Now that Metalcore has spread from the two epicenters (MA and NY) other solid Metalcore bands such as Lamb of God and As I Lay Dying have emerged. The sub-genre of Metalcore has also spread across the Atlantic and gave birth to Bullet for My Valentine......Unfortunately at times these bands often times get lumped in by some people who don't know any better with Screamo Bands such as Eighteen Visions, The Used, A Devil Wears Prada, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, From Autumn to Ashes, Drop Dead Gorgeous etc.... Don't be fooled if you hear the term "Post-Hardcore" 9 times out of 10 that means Screamo and you need to run away

Bottom line Metalcore Good....Screamo Bad

There is also Deathcore which is Hardcore and Death Metal fused bands such as Smite the Righteous, Heaven Shall Burn, Whitechapel, Winds of Plague, As Blood Runs Black, etc.....

Some people include Lamb of God and DevilDriver in the Deathcore mix but I personally do not as they to me don't embody anything Death Metal stands for Lamb of God = Metalcore and DevilDriver = Mallcore / Groove Metal

Ok I guess there is a new bottom line Deathcore and Metalcore GREAT.....Screamo Horrible......

I am sure that I missed a few bands in my listing as I was listing them from memory and my brain is old and tired

I know you don't enjoy the screaming but give some of the Metalcore and Deathcore bands I listed above a shot and like I said stay away from bands listed as Post-Hardcore and/or Screamo

 

[maddhatir]

Hold on- let me pop one of my Ritalin and read this again to absorb it

I KNEW I could get an answer from you

Thanks Metal

Mercenary is more progressive but I put them in there. Although with half the band gone including a song writer I don't know what's going to happen. I'm just glad I got to see them once. They are an acquired taste, not everyone is going to get them, but I'll just throw that one out there.

My problem with deathcore is bands like Heaven Shall Burn used breakdowns more appropriately. Now it feels like any kid in something from Hot Topic just sits there and plays open chords for the ENTIRE song. I've heard good almost good songs from bands at concerts that get completely ruined buy the same breakdown that everyone else uses.

Well I leave for Wacken on Tuesday... I'll be sure to rock out extra hard for the Dis-metalheads!!

Yes I agree Have fun at Wacken I am wicked jealous!!!!!


I thought of a few other Metalcore, Deathcore bands and since I brought Groove Metal into the conversation some of those as well that are worth checking out:

Metalcore: 36 Crazy Fists, Himsa, Haste The Day, ZAO, Thy Will Be Done, Vanna, A Perfect Murder, Droid, Bleeding Through, The Agony Scene, Throwdown

Deathcore: Malefice, Killwhitneydead, The Acacia Strain, Despised Icon, Job For a Cowboy, Through the Eyes of the Dead

Groove Metal: Skinlab, Five Finger Death Punch, Living Sacrifice, A Life Once Lost and if you want to go old school Groove Metal and hear where Pantera got their sound for their post Glam Metal days check out Exhorder!!! Not saying Pantera stole the sound just saying they were influenced by it just as they were influenced by Judas Priest on their albums prior to CFH. Having said all that Pantera is the best Groove Metal band of all time.......

You guys probably already know most of those bands especially Skinlab, Himsa, Haste the Day, JFC and FFDP....As a side note a lot of them have lyrical themes that for the most part don't do anything for me and probably wont for others but are so amazing musically that I get over it and if I can anyone can ZAO is one of those bands but they have an amazing song about the West Memphis song on their album "Parade of Chaos" entitled "Free the Three" which is a great track!!!!

Wow...I think I just found family.

Being older, and having come of age in Los Angeles in the late 1980's, I have been a metal fan for decades. Never grew out of it, and the running joke is that I'm the old broad who blasts Rob Zombie (or whatever is playing on the MP3 in the car) down the street.

Lately, I'm into a lot of symphonic metal and power metal from Europe: Edguy, Avantasia, Epica, Kamelot, Northern Kings, Sonata Arctica (love that man's voice), Rob Zombie, Rammstein, Dragonforce, Silentium, After Forever, Amon Amarth, Nightwish, old Stratovarius, and a lot others. Love the classics (Maiden, hair metal of all kinds, Extreme, etc.) as well. I'd give my eyeteeth to go to Wacken!

Oh, and did someone mention Laurie Cabot? My username and signature are not an accident, after all. <<grin & wink>> I haven't seen her in over 10 years, and was actually thinking of taking a little road trip up to Salem for Samhain or something. Would love to PM with folks who are...er...of that same theological persuasion!

Tony is doing guest vocals on the next Powerglove album. I believe he's singing Pokemon(Gotta Catch Em All)...
