Working out Youtube linking plz be patient.

P.s.

Whilst I love Primus, I'd hardly class them as metal.

Says the person with Skid Row in his collection!!

Primus may have some quirky shit but the earlier stuff has some proper metal heaviness....will try to find...

[Fiend]

Okay some firm favourites, kinda across the board. Haven;'t posted clips for the ones people have already posted good clips of...


Amon Amarth - VIKING BATTLE METAL YAAAAARRGHHH!!


^^^ check that out, that is as good as metal comes I reckon. Need to get some more of them.

Bolt Thrower - heavy heavy heavy. Just recently listened to The 4th Crusade again, fucking awesome riff-tastic.

Carcass - you know the deal, total quality grind. That Corporeal Jigsaw Quandry video says it all. Liked Heartwork too...

Gwar - okay so they had that ridiculous approach that appealed to me in my teens....but the music around Scumdogs era was pretty cool.

Killing Joke - yup I know their origins in well regarded ....but I got their Pandemonium album and fuck me they were good as a metal band. Just brilliant stuff.


^^^turn that one up loud



Pantera - Cowboys From Hell / Vulgar Display Of Power era, just untouchable, the most infectious and crunchiest riffs around, love it.





Primus - classic, completely off the wall. Saw them live in Sydney, I lost track of how many bizzare bass instruments Les Claypool. As is often the case, the early stuff had the best blend of heaviness and quirkiness.


^^^Go on meeeester GCW, tell me that isn't metal, I dare you...


^^^funnnnky!

The God Machine - incredible and underrated band, with a mere two albums of utter power and beauty. Anyone who knows them will know.







^^^ Sorry they needed 3 clips.

Therapy? - like em, again the earlier stuff. Classy, interesting, real catchy stuff. "Gone" off the Nurse album is beautiful.

[GCW]

Strangely, "Too many puppies" is a tune that goes round my head whilst running.
Heavy sound- yes.  Metal- no.  But let's not argue about that.

Everybody say, Larry you're a bastard.

Skid Row- Monkey Business.  Different vocals, you wouldn.t be arguing.


Dream Theater and Barney-  Damage, Inc

[Houdini]

There's a big problem w/ a lot of this music in that it can be very generic and very difficult for bands to forge anything akin to individual identity.  This is ultimately the reason I grew out of this style of music in my late teens.

Nevertheless this thread is quite good from a nostalgia point of view.  




Ain't headbanging and headbangers weird?  

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headbanging

Really fucks your swede.

[GCW]

Sepultura-  Arise


Nailbomb-  Blind and Lost

[Fiend]

Strangely, "Too many puppies" is a tune that goes round my head whilst running.
Heavy sound- yes.  Metal- no.  But let's not argue about that.

No let's not. Let's just accept I'm right .

You lot have got me well SYKED for metal again. Just ordered:

Amon Amarth - With Oden On Our Side (latest album, samples sound well good)

Killing Joke - Pandemonium (only had the cassette before)

And this lot:



Ajattara - Kuolema (mid-paced riff-heavy black-ish metal....can't argue with that)

[Stubbs]

Sepultura - Ratamahatta, love that tribal drumming



I went to see Skid Row just before Christmas.....

[Fiend]

Don't think we didn't read that small text Stubbs. F-ing glam rockers!

Can someone please edit the title to

Loud N-n-n-n-nnnoisy Guitar Shizzle [Rock/Metal/Thrash etc]

I think that would suit it well, GCW???

[GCW]

Word. 
Either that or f-f-f-f-f-ffffuck Mick Ryan upside the head with an aluminum baseball bat......

[Fiend]

Good morning happy boulderers 

A special treat for you this morning....taking this thread to it's logical conclusion of heaviness, I cheerfully present:

MORTICIAN

[GCW]

Nice one Fiend.
However (without wanting to start stupid arguments) I personally don't think it's that heavy.  Extreme yes, not heavy.  There isn't enough low down power, it's a bit treble-rich on the overdistortion.
Sorry.

[Fiend]

Treble-rich....yeah that's exactly what I was thinking 

I once won a John Peel (RIP) contest to go down and see his favoured hard trance act Lab 4 do their thing live at the Maida Vale studio. As well as being a nice night out and good to meet the legend himself, there was an amusing moment of him playing Mortician's "Doctor Doom", which sounded particularly fine through the studio set-up. The gaggle of musos and groupies looked particularly bemused....I was particularly amused...

[Andy F]

Two things Fiend. 1) The God Machine are the best band from the 90's. Period. 2) Where is teh complete collection of TooL's claymation classics?

[underground]

It's hard to find any real footage of these guys, but there's this one of their geetarist playing some shit- dunno what you'd call it really, very technical grindcore perhaps, you can't hear the grunts on the video mind Anomalous
Edit: Their myspace page does the job... http://www.myspace.com/anomalousmetal

I still don't know what the fuck they're gruntin about, but the music is worth it...

[GCW]

Impaled Nazarene- Armageddon Death Squad

[GCW]

Korn-  Blind   Are you ready?

[GCW]

On a similar (copy cat note)
Coal Chamber-  Loco  ( The bird's quite nice  )

[underground]

GCW, you want to start listening to this Anomalous stuff, listen to me cos when I recommend stuff it's the proper shit....

[GCW]

This shit>?

[underground]

This shit>?

Um, no, perhaps not.. about 3 posts up though. I got a bit pissed and obnoxious so apologies for that! I think they're still very underground (not me) and still can't find a permanent drummer, but as far as the music goes , out there...

[GCW]

The Haunted-  Bury Your Dead.  I love the At The Gates/ The Haunted sound.  Very individual:


Neurosis-  Locust Star

[Dr T]

shockingly omitted so far...

Cult of Luna


In Flames


Arch Enemy

[Fiend]

Can't argue with Angela Gossow....if there was a Dead Fit Birds Who Growl Out Death Metal thread....good on her I say, she does a great job...



I got Wages Of Sin which is rather good and got some good anthems on it (see above) - I was put off the next album by tales of it being lighter and more melodic (I found WoS itself a bit bass-lacking). Any other album recommendations?? What's that clip from, T?

[Houdini]

Fuck me could the above be more of a Maiden/@ the Gates reep orf if they tried?!



I was just quizzed most cynically by Fraudini as to Why I'm listening to so much shit at the moment?

Well darling, everyone has guilty pleasures and besides, it wasn't me that had t h i r t y  s e v e n pictures of Pierre Cosso (toss French actor) on my wall when I was a lad . . .



(nerny ner pretty boy poofter)
*grobs up a greenie*

[Houdini]

Particularly enjoying the drumming & rhythm geetar of Behemoth's - Demigod
