boutrous bubba

really though:
boris
mastodon
megadeth
slayer
isis
pelican
etc

dont listen to any of that except boris and australasia by pelican

the bass player in megadeth is killer

I'm listening Oceanic right now, and definitely am loving it. Any other Isis CDs worth checking out?

dont listen to any of that except boris and australasia by pelican

you're not saying you prefer australasia by pelican above slayer

this is the gayest thing ever on the planet

boutrous bubba

really though:


wtf

BORIS IS THE BEST BAND EVER CAUSE THEIR CHINESE AND IT SOUNDS LOUD

what

slayer are really bad

i dont even consider boris a metal band by the way. first thing i heard by them was the song ibitsu and i've always considered them just a hard rock band

what

slayer are really bad

just don't say anything about music anymore, ever

that's not a ridiculous opinion to hold

at all

whatever i hate metal

i dont even consider boris a metal band by the way. first thing i heard by them was the song ibitsu and i've always considered them just a hard rock band

yeah there's nothing metal about boris. those three chords they play each song and repeat all the time which causes all this mad intensity and stuff is beyond metal

wtf

smashingjj does boutros bubba have an ep or something

we have an EP, a 7" and a fucking album, snotty nose.

the ep is free to download but i'm not featured in that one and it's certainly not our best work

LETS NOT GET GENRE CONFUSED WITH OPINION NOW

LETS NOT GET GENRE CONFUSED WITH OPINION NOW

i like your posts although they might be a little too math rock for me.

i prefer meth rock

Between the Buried and Me - Colors
*Opeth - Still Life
Dark Tranquility - The Gallery
Cynic - Focus
*Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Death - The Sound of Perseverance
Meshuggah - Destroy Erase Improve
Edge of Sanity - Crimson
*Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley
Dissection - Storm of the Lights Bane

The stuff I starred is probably best to start with... the rest gets more extreme, but is totally kickass.

Meshuggah - obZen
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Miss Machine (seriously man, get this one)
Big Business - Here Come The Waterworks
The Black Dahlia Murder - Nocturnal
Pig Destroyer - Phantom Limb
Gojira - From Mars To Sirius
Converge - Jane Doe
Cephalic Carnage - Anomalies
Neurosis - Times Of Grace

some of the stuff people above said. ISIS + Pelican most definitely. Don't listen to D. though, he'll tell you to get Coheed + Cambria, who are teh gayz.

ugh.. I hate opeth.
colors is a good suggestion though.

also if you're doing Opeth, go straight to Blackwater Park.

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Miss Machine (seriously man, get this one)
Converge - Jane Doe

yes! I like calculating infinity better than miss machine though.

I'm gonna go ahead and list anything and everything that would even remotely fit...

arsonists get all the girls
august burns red
between the buried and me
converge
daughters (older stuff I like better, new is good though.. just different)
dillinger escape plan
fear before the march of flames
from a second story window
genghis tron
horse the band (lulz)
job for a cowboy (if you're into that sort of thing)
the locust
norma jean (I don't care, I love bless the martyr & kiss the child)
number twelve looks like you
the ocean
oh, sleeper
some girls
the sound of animals fighting
the tony danza tapdance extravaganza

okay I'm tired of thinking. now make fun of my taste in music.

I'll do it too:
Fall of Troy is fun (I like the song The Dark Trail as an introducton)
Dillinger Escape plan (Sunshine the Werewolf is awesome)
EVERYONE likes Killswitch Engage
Darkest Hour
36 crazy fists
Alexisonfire
Protest the Hero,
The Human Abstract – Insane Bass playing
Parkway Drive (The song Romance is Dead is very purdy, big hardcore influence, but hey)
He Is Legend – The Seduction, fun song, fun band.
Black Dahlia Murder
August Burns Red
Lamb of God – Descending is one of my favourite songs
Bring me the Horizon – Pray for Plagues is one of the most evil videos around, I loves it, even though that Oli fella is a bit of a twat.
The Agony Scene – Their Paint it Black cover is fun

Again, again, cause I can, and they’re South African:

Killswitch Engage
Darkest Hour
Bring Me the Horizon
He is Legend

A lot of these bands have overwhelming discographies, so I'm not sure what to download.

Arsonists get all the girls are great… As are Between the Buried and Me…
Atreyu are okay, new album I’m not sure about yet. Too much variety.
As Blood Runs Black?
I need to give Norma Jean more of a listen, cause yeah… It doesn’t get me all tickled up.

Killswitch Engage


No.

I didn't like Between the Buried and Me at all.

Atreyu has some great singles, but they don't sound metal to me at all.

i stopped listening to and pretty much liking metal in general a few years ago, but these bands still get me, so i guess they stand out.

harvey milk
torche
saviors
municipal waste
and metallica's no life til leather on repeat

I’ll throw you a few song titles if it’ll help?

Killswitch Engage – Their biggest song is probably End of Heartache – I think they got a Grammy or something for it? They had another vocalist back in the day. Sometimes I prefer the older shit, but Howard Jones is something special, and you cant go wrong with any of the newer albums.
Darkest Hour have been around for AGES: With a thousand words to say, Convalescence, Sound the Surrender…
Bring Me The Horizon – I guess you could do better, to be honest. But fuck, check em out: The Pray For Plagues video is really worth watching…
He Is Legend – I love most of the ‘I am hollywood’ album
The Seduction, and title track, ‘I am Hollywood’ are fun introductions…

Check out the song ‘CLOUDS’ by Devil Sold His Soul. It’s got some pretty in there. Very basic setup though.

I didn't like Between the Buried and Me at all.

Atreyu has some great singles, but they don't sound metal to me at all.


Get the song Bleeding Mascara….
Nah dude, they like to play with their sound, but a big chunk of it is Metal.

Get the song 'Selkies: the endless obsession' from between the buried and me...

hell yes, I am Hollywood is really good

Haste The Day...
'American love' and 'Blue 42'

Devildriver...
Underoath


All of those 3 got a mention cause they'll be in SA in the next 6 months. Hehe.

We NEVER get metal here, our scene is changing, at long fucking last.

Get the song 'Selkies: the endless obsession' from between the buried and me...

YES. I can't believe they didn't like btbam. get the entire album (alaska)
also mordecai off the silent circus is great. just give it a try.

Listening to a lot of these songs now!
Hahaha.
LOOK HOW PRETTY SHE IS, WHEN SHE FALLS DOWN…
NOW THERES NO BEAUTY IN BLEEDING MASCARA!
HER LIPS ARE QUVERING! LIKE A WITHERING ROSE!

Don’t get into metal for the lyrics…

And for something all together different, appreciated by the same folk download:
SPOKE IN THE WHEEL - BLACK LABEL SOCIETY

Far too pretty.

Arsonists get all the girls are great… As are Between the Buried and Me…
Atreyu are okay, new album I’m not sure about yet. Too much variety.
As Blood Runs Black?
I need to give Norma Jean more of a listen, cause yeah… It doesn’t get me all tickled up.

it's all about bless the martyr & kiss the child. redeemer is very meh.

Isn't that a song by the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus fags?

:HOMO:

and for the love of god at least try listening to some genghis tron

It just really tugs the old heart strings, doesn't it?

Lord, I Question Whether I've had my fill
Lord, I Question whether I can take much more
you may laugh as I lay here bleeding
no more afters or befores

Some day you'll know just how I feel
you left me there twice before
Some day you'll know just how it feels
shattered, cast aside, stripped of your pride
like you were never nothing special
made you feel like another spoke in the wheel

so you say im just another dollar
so you say I'm just another day yeah
once my blood was strong but now its jaded and its thin
unlike you I can still tell right from wrong

some day you'll know just how it feels
while you left me there twice before
some day you'll know just how it feels
shattered, cast aside, stripped of your pride
like you were never nothing special
made you feel like another spoke in the wheel

some day you'll know just how it feels
while you left me there twice before
some day you'll know just how it feels
shattered, cast aside, stripped of your pride
like you were never nothing special
made you feel like another spoke in the wheel

It belongs on some kind of all time classic list, with the stairways to heaven, and brothers in arms and all that shit.
I almost feel it should have a thread all of it's own...

it's all about bless the martyr & kiss the child. redeemer is very meh.

I shall focus my enquiries.

Isn't that a song by the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus fags?

:HOMO:

Not unless it's a cover one way or the other?

For straight up, no fucking around:
Lamb of God - Descending.
Umf.

Somebody reccomend me a song right NOW! quick, go go!
i'll try find it.

killswitch engage? What are you all fucking retarded?

when i was in high school this guy next to me during lunch was listening to something really obnoxious and loud on his headphones and it was pretty irritating. i tapped him on his shoulder and asked him "what are you listening to?" he said "this awesome album by atreyu, its their debut" i asked what it was called and he said "suicide notes and butterfly kisses"

i never talked to him again

Tragic tragic track jacket is a cool song...

Fear before the march of flames - on the bright side she could choke.

Umf.

thread over.

Ultra Beatdown?

:erm:

cave in - until your stops
cave in - beyond hypothermia
machine head - through the ashes of empires
sepultura - chaos AD
napalm death - Harmony Corruption
carcuss - Necroticism, Descanting the Insalubrious

botch - we are the romans


from what you already have:

Isis, mastodon, tool - everything else you haven't got yet

if you wanna try some neo-classical prog-metal, have a go on Symphony X - Paradise Lost

smashing pumpkins

sorry if this joke was already made

plenty worse has already been suggested ravenguy

fall of troy is gay

so is atreyu

gay gay gay

fall of troy isn't gay.

atreyu, on the other hand, has like two solid singles and the rest is emo shit.

flower travellin band anyone

\m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/

metal really bores me right now. i went through a semi-phase. i think it's over.

and by metal i mean stuff like om

they are cool tho

to truly understand metal you have to be a loser

metalheads made losing a virtue though

HORSE the band - Pol's Voice

Austrian Death Machine - Get to the Choppa

Ghrol's Probot was pretty sweet too. And you can never go wrong with 3 Inches of Blood - Wykydtron. Best song ever written about a super intelligent supercomputer that destroys humanity.

^^^right up my alley^^^

tis gone!
I wanted to check back on some of those suggestions folk made.

Just hold on til '09 when Mastodon release the best album of their career and blow everyone out of the water. Then just listen to that.

there's this old one if i helps:

http://forums.netphoria.org/showthread.php?t=146065

Thanks folk!
And I am amped for Mastadon indeed!

I wonder why they other metal thread disappeared...

Was there a specific reason anyone knows of? Or am I just blatantly missing it?

look harder barden

actually- you probably can't see it since it was started by someone who has since been muted.

I'll see if I can fix it.

Someone recommended oceansize back there somewhere… And I see as the last post on here too. And yup: they’re amazing, check em out. Frames is awesome indeed.
A bit heavier then you'll probably like based on your replies, but balanced with a whole lot of melody and pretty are Dance Gavin Dance. I like. Much. Backwards Pumpkin song is a good start! The heavy side is standard posthardcore fun, but the pretty is pretty indeed. I love em.


But if you’re looking for anything similar to Deftones I’m scared we lost you already.
(I have a tattoo inspired by an image from a deftones CD cover… but don’t tell anyone that).

Ah, dankie!

Well, I had to copy posts over since I couldn't just delete the first post without deleting the whole thread. But it's all here now, save for that first post.

I like my coffee black just like my metal

Thanks Andyslash!:)
Glad to provide some admin challanges, keep things interesting for the mods!


MORE METAL THEN YOUR MOTHERS KETTLE!

Daughters - The Ghost with the Most

Whoop.

Just hold on til '09 when Mastodon release the best album of their career and blow everyone out of the water. Then just listen to that.

I'd be surprised. Didn't really like those new songs. Is that new album really coming out in 09?

january supposedly

the band seems pretty bummed out about the recording people heard so i wouldn't let that knock me out

it's gonna be way different though. less noise and more melody. less metal and more spacey psychedelic progness. they've called it moody and creepy and they mentioned yes, pink floyd and king crimson

"I have a feeling like I had before 'Leviathan' came out," Dailor says. "It was like, I was feeling like we're not that band. Everyone thinks we're the band that did 'Remission,' but we're not. We're a new band."

so who knows. i have a feeling it's gonna totally rule though

i did not make this fucking thread
