moreblack Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 That was more like anti-music, certainly not a positive argument for metal being the "most musically talented from a technical standpoint of any genre today"."most musically talented from a technical standpoint of any genre today", what does that even mean? that it's the genre with the most wankery?

No in terms of manipulating music conventions such as time signatures and scales. Or just the speed at which they play their instruments. Have you ever heard Dillinger Escape Plan? Not only are they playing incredibly complicated music but they're playing it at a quick pace and when they play it live they're running around the stage while doing it. I'd argue metal bands have better command of their instruments than any other genre. I highly doubt anyone in, say, King of Leon could hang with anyone in metal in terms of just playing their instruments. Of course King of Leon write catchy songs so thats theyre thing and thats fine. Being a band who uses the technical aspects of music, for the most part, doesnt make you popular. Where you see "wankery", others see challenging music.

moreblack Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 so it's kinda like expressionist metal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt88 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 so it's kinda like expressionist metal?Hmmm. Interesting. I dont think I ever thought of it like that. From what I get about impressionist painting its that they distort reality to evoke emotions. I'd say the distortion part is true but the main emotion would be rage or anger I suppose. Not all tech bands, at least lyrically, are negative and all doom and gloom like many metal stereotypes would suggest. It certainly does have parallels where expressionist art wasnt aesthetically appealing at least by traditional standards. Interesting point, sir.

bt88 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) So Amon Amarth released the cover art for their new album and its all at once awesome and ridiculous. Very metal. Check it out]Brian Slagel, the CEO of Metal Blade records, tweeted that the record is really incredible. Comes out March 29th, looking forward to some good old fashioned viking metal Edited January 18, 2011 by bt88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt88 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Two new Amon Amarth songs out. The band is essentially viking metal. They know how to kick ass: This next song they said they were actually inspired by Dio for the main riffhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aZEWbKuG9k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevelle Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I consider GNR metal. Besides, each band should get thier own thread. They deserve it more than some of the shit that gets talked about in my word. I had no idea so many people listened to terrible music here. I thought that if they liked GNR they would have decent taste. Guess not.cool story broski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLffQQhjpkAFinally some decent quality footage from their current tour....I can't wait for the new live DVD...(LMFAO at 1:19) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess not.I have no idea what the point of that post is ANYways, the following metal bands are writing, recording or have new albums coming out soon:MeshuggahTool OpethMastodonProtest The HeroAmon AmarthLots of good stuff coming down the pipe. I have no idea what Mastodon is gonna do to follow up Crack The Skye. The Tool record is probably still a ways off. Opeth always puts out solid, deep records. Good things coming for metal; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 New IF too, apparently it's going to be a more "dark, haunted" kind of album, which I'm excited for although the name "Sounds of a Playground Fading" is pretty stupid/child molester-y.
