Metal Appreciation Thread!

(Let me preface this thread: If you don't like this kind of music gtfo, this is strictly for appreciation and sharing)

Particularly I've been listening to a lot of old Decapitated...their first album Winds of Creation imo is the best technical death metal album ever made.

**HEADBANGS**

I heard he dabbled into witchcraft, I heard occult

Oh, theyre pretty much the same

I guess he was adopted, or raised by wolves

Thats ridiculous to say

I heard he pulled over, cursed the town

Had the touch, so nothing grew

I heard that too, it's true!

That tonight

I heard he spoke in tongues, not crazy

I heard he was a refugee

I heard he was a monster, a scary ghost

Oh you know theres no such thing

I heard he pulled over, cursed the town

Had the touch, so nothing grew

I heard that too, it's true!

I come from a metal background and it dominated my listening habits for around seven years until I slowly started getting into electronic music through the likes of Harold Budd/Brian Eno and Carbon Based Lifeforms.

Even though I rarely listen to metal nowadays giving good old Slayer a spin every now and then is always great. I also love Beherit, Celtic Frost and basically a lot of death metal and black metal in general. There's a lot of good stuff in other metal subgenres of course, but way less than in the aforementioned ones.

Did you check out Metal Swim at all Alex? Some great tracks on it to be sure.

I saw Carcass on this tour... Flawless...

Diamonds little story's suck... But Andy's guitar work is some of my favorite...

I don't keep up with metal anymore... But I grew up in the early death metal and thrash scene and still pull it out from time to time...

Plenty of love for black and doom metal.

No love for death metal though.

oddly enough death metal cookie-monster vox really turn me off but i still prefer it over black or doom... doom is right up there with drone as 2 of my least fav+s

Looking at the list you posted I can understand why.

Among the only metal bands I can stand anymore, along with Dethklok.

Opeth's Blakwater Park and Watershed albums are absolute perfection to me, especially the first track on Watershed. Beautiful stuff.

Hail Satan my Dark Lord and Master.

i like metal for the fact that it makes everything else seem better.

The mighty Meshuggah:

Let's get married, sweetheart.

i'm not a big metal fan, but occasionally i get a big hard-on for sludge that just won't go away until i spend a solid afternoon listening to my favourite metal band of all time, IRON MONKEY. i first heard this track when i was 14 years old and it blew my puny mind:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGx_FdFvfYQ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQmrChMHfr0

Also been listening to a lot of EYEHATEGOD lately:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UW_3Ed6BZk

basically if it's got stoned-out sabbath riffs I'l listen to it. also into stuff like Electric Wizard, Sleep, Boris when they're not being a drone-doom outfit etc...

and you can't forget the originals. legend has it, this song is actually about the calorie-free, all-natural sweetener stevia:
