    I am old enough to remember SOD bringing out Speak English or Die. The absolute audacity of it all was pretty amazing back then. Led me to discovering all sorts like No means No, Voivod and Dayglo Abortions. Those Canadians are actually nuts.

    .

    SYL as well, great band, led by one of Canada's finest nuts.

    used to love Cradle of Filth myself :D they used to get some hate, but honestly? Midian was one of my favourite albums ;

    I saw them at a festival abroad back in the 2000's, there was big screens that allowed people to text messages in too be displayed on them.

    I think people can guess the results :-o

    much much prefer the heavier/less emo end of industrial myself.

    My Guilty metal pleasure is Saxon (is it ok if I pretend that I only like them ironically :-/ )

    No-one can destroy the metal!
    The metal will strike you down with a vicious blow!
    We are the vanquished foe of the metal!
    We tried to win
    For why
    We do not know! :D

    Seriously though, I'd place money on somebody with a Sepultura t-shirt as being about 1000 times more likely to be sound than somebody without one. Metalheads are always the best crack.

    BTW, I don't care for any era Metallica really...

    Used to be a big fan, not so much anymore.

    I like the old more musically-driven kind as opposed to the modern kind where there's a high emphasis placed on technique as opposed to what sounds good. Don't want to sound pretentious but as a guitar player I just don't find metal attractive, I just feel there's a lot more distortion/gain to hide behind compared to other genres.

    I think a lot of modern metal acts could learn a lot from the "less is more" attitude, I just don't see the appeal in listening to some guy play 300 notes in 10 seconds as opposed to playing 3 or 4 that sound good.

    You sound like you need some doom! It's not all about speed

    Can't stand it, too much noise and shouting without any real rhythm or beat or even lyrics you can understand.

    Ah here now, that's only rubbish, metal is easily one of the most beat/rhythm-driven genres, behind only rap and the electronic genres, I'd say.

    Try this (or ANY of the tracks I've posted, for that matter!). The whole album is wonderful tbh.

    No, not at all.
    This thread just reminded me: I was watching the Download festival highlights on Sky Arts a few weeks back and eagerly awaiting Linkin Park to come on. In the meantime, we sat through a Bring Me The Horizon song and it was literally just the lead singer screaming like a banshee into the microphone, bent over double like he was tearing his diaphram in two. My aunt just looked at me like I had ten heads and went "You call this music?!" I must admit, I'm not a huge fan of the screamo- brand of metal outside of Slipknot but I *do* like this track:

    It's currently the only Bullet For My Valentine song I regularly listen to. Never bothered to look up more but if anyone can give me recommendations, that would be super.
    Incidently, I managed to get my aunt into both Linkin Park and Rob Zombie. Give me a few weeks- I shall turn her to the dark side! :pac:

    Used to be a big BFMV fan, their album "The Poison" is brilliant.

    Cringey song titles but.. Try "Hand of Blood", "Room 409" and "Hearts Burst Into Fire" :)

    Ah, the heaviest of them all. Serious hardcore stuff that is.

    The convergent shock wave of an implosion can compress solid uranium or plutonium by a factor of 2 to 3.
    So could get up to 60g/cm3 - seriously heavy

    I was trying to find a song I heard in Clerks 2 and thanks to the spooky yet brillaint pre-empting of the Youtube search bar, I finally found it.
    Bit of King Diamond, any one? :D


    EDIT: Jaaaaaaysus, Links. Haven't heard that since about 2001! :eek: I used to be such a weeboo when it came to Gackt, the sexy androgynos bastard! :D
    I see your Redemption and raise you Lust For Blood- my favorite track by him.
    This thread makes me so very happy!

    I like a bit of metal. Mainly drone, doom, thrash and a bit of black metal.

    Favourite bands would be Black Sabbath, Boris, Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, Electric Wizard and Megadeth.

    Hahaha! Links, I was just about to post that! :D
    In a similar vein:




    Edit: 2006? Jaysus, I thought it was older than that. Sure, I graduated from secondary school in 2005 and really got into the whole otaku thing. Sure, I was 17 and very wet behind the ears... ahh, you've made my night with that, Links234! Cheers for the nostalgia!

    There's so much awesome music coming from Japan, why'd you give up? :pac:

    Also, seriously, why with this many folks who enjoy metal is the Rock & Metal forum not utilized more?
