What is the nu-male movement? We must know it so that we can deny its advances when it comes to tempt us.

Nu-male is safe but progressive.
Nu-male is accessible but intolerant.
Nu-male is intellectual but facile.

Nu-male is a product invented from whole cloth, an unnatural academic foray into metal, adorned with stolen designs like a Christmas tree with baubles - and no less commercial. Nu-male is an appropriation of the sound of danger, and thus represents a marginalization and disenfranchisement of the progenitors and true artists that work with that sound. Nu-male does not celebrate its origin; nu-male uses its origin as the basis of a semantic fallacy in order to bootstrap its own agenda into legitimacy. The often-mocked term applied to it is actually entirely accurate: nu-male is untrue. It is false. It is a sheep in wolfs' clothing. It is a cultural assault perpetrated on a genre that is already made defenseless by way of its own defense: the isolation from the mainstream. With no representative in popular culture, the industry and critic complex are free to plunder the vaults of true metal, cobble together whatever disarmed Frankenstein's monster they please and sell it to the general public as a morally safe and forward-thinking product - as socially or artistically "acceptable" metal.

True metal is not acceptable. It is a hate crime.

Opinions on Boris in /metal/? I know they get a fair share of love outside of /metal/ on Sup Forums in general, but what about here?

This, and I'm being completely honest, might be one of the greatest thrash albums ever made. People will argue and throw this up against a bunch of albums from the 80s. But that's just looking at the past through rose-colored glasses. Too many metalheads are stuck in the past, at least in my opinion. I don't care how old an album is; if it's got incredible songwriting chops, creativity, attitude, musicianship, and just all-around passion, then it's a classic. This album nails all those aspects right on the head. As time rolls on, this work of art will be solidified among the all-time greats such as Rust in Peace, Ride the Lightning, Reign in Blood, The Years of Decay, Spectrum of Death, and many more. HAIL VEKTOR!!!

Well this is turning to shit already

Post some good 2017 albums

Pink is pretty fun, rest is boring shit

>high schoolers listen to deathspell omega now

man when i was in high school my favorite bands were avenged sevenfold and slipknot

Metal for this feel?

inb4 Vektor

Who cares? It's okay generic black metal with a slight melodic bent. You can listen to their stuff on bandcamp.

Terminal Redux

post groovy deathcore

you first

>genre: melodic death metal

not bad but towards the megalith is gonna be hard to top but guitar tone is killer, riffs aren't bad, and they're holding true to their cavern core stuff.

all sludgewave

is that a real genre

>sludgewave
>groove
topkek

sweet proto-metal, these guys finally got it together

Haven't really listened to much metal since I "grew" out of it besides some select albums (pic related), looking for some actually good metal for me to get back into.

see

Any certain genre preferred?

don't bother posting here if you actually want recs, all you'll get is """ironic"""" replies recommending shitty bands and called a nu-male

doesn't really matter, I prefer more avant-garde stuff mostly

...

I seriously doubt this dissonant abrasive shit would get anyone back into metal dude

Interesting stuff, though head ache inducing

TOOH! - Rad A Trest
Menace Ruine - Cult Of Ruins
The vast majority of the Deathspell Omega discography starting from Si monvmentvm reqvires, circvmspice
Sigh - Imaginary Sonicscape
Flourishing - The Sum Of All Fossils
Howls Of Ebb - Cursus Impasse: The Pendleomic Vows
Clutch - Blast Tyrant
Church Of Misery - Houses Of The Unholy
Bongripper - Satan Worshipping Doom


If you want particularly le avant garde sporky stuff like Pan.Thy.Monium

Diablo Swing Orchestra - Pandora's Pinata
Unexpect - Fables of the Sleepless Empire
Dir En Grey - Uroboros
Thy Catafalque - Rengeteg
Jute Gyte - Perdurance

honestly this is way better than if someone had told me to go listen to ghost or something like that, definitely interesting

need more 2017

kudos to you then for giving it a chance instead of writing off out right. I find it interesting myself but in no way enjoyable

Lykathea Aflame tbqh mon ami
youtube.com/watch?v=IArBw3XIzF4

Thanks man, already listened to sigh, deathspell, and church of misery (never really took the time to get all the way into them though). I'll definitely check this stuff out

in the vein of pan.thy check out Timeghoul, !.t.o.o.h.!, The Chasm, Afflicted, Phlebotomized, Neglected Fields, Maudlin of the Well, Crypt of Kerberos, Gorguts, and Atrocity

also this is kinda coo bass heavy stuff

Also, >Techdeath that uses dissonant riffs and antireligous lyrics in a subtle but enlightening way

>anti religion is bad
It baffles me that people enjoying one of the most visceral genres can have their feelings so easily hurt by someone saying they don't like religion

Also melodeath and particularly tech death are great man

>Also melodeath and particularly tech death are great man

My feelings arent hurt by the anti religous statements, its just the redditors that they attract that makes me cringe, and this comes from someone that actually enjoys melo and techdeath, even disso stuff like gorguts and portal.

What did he mean by this?

>DUDE SATAN
>DUDE SCIENCE

...

>genre: avant death metal

Fear Factory - Expiration Date

I GOT
NO MORE
GOD DAMN
REGRETS

the guy literally said in that thread that he meant metallica have a more depressing outlook on things in their lyrics than bands like black sabbath, he didn't mean that their music is doom metal

I will applaud them till the end of time because of New Album

They are usually hit or miss with me; usually miss because they choose to indulge in amp masturbation over songwriting

Rec me similar

black sabbath isnt metal

Gorerotted - Mutilated In Minutes

metal is black sabbath

Neither is Motorhead

I like this album quite a lot

trips confirm

i can't stop grooving to this

man, these melodies so good
what's some good folk metal that's not about drinking beer, fairy tales and living in the woods

Just listened to Karisma and SALADSWORD, tell me my next Sabbat album.

get over yourself

Evoke

sabbath invented doom

nope. go for envenom first

Thanks guys I'll check both of them out. Really liking these guys, I usually only listen to one album by a band before moving on to another band.

What are you guys hyped for for 2017?
For me: new king diamond and la guns.

New Sleep and High On Fire are supposed to come out apparently.

>The two most important metal bands of all time
>Not Metal
This is poserdom on a whole new level

What are some overshadowed gems?

...

But that's typically agreed to be their best release, how is it overshadowed? Unless you mean overshadowed by greater genres because it's meloshit.

Queensryche - Rage for Order
Not memeing, it's literally a fusion of prog metal, USPM, and new romantic

I like Black Future more.

Had the same thought.

Anyways, this is one of my favorite albums of all time, but for whatever reason I almost always see people bring up their second album, which I do not like very much.

Insomnium was finland's best kept secret until cca 5 years ago. 99% of their current fans never even listened to it.

And yes that album also gets avoided a lot because >atmomelomeal

How about a contrarian opinion
I prefer second era Sentenced

The Masque opening riff, HNNNG

>I can understand the last stanza of lyrics well enough to know that all the lyric sites are wrong
>But not well enough to know what is actually being said

Hey this is pretty good

ghostbath

nice one

The lyrics on M-A are from the booklet.

On the track

Wrong album

Maybe, maybe not but Iommi wrote one of the most monstrous riffs
youtube.com/watch?v=GhZ4t7pRyjE
>we are Motörhead and we play Rock'n'Roll
But still highly influential band. From Motörhead to Thrash metal and from there to Black Metal.

Why does /metal/ not like Venom?

...

...

...

Only true black metal band.

We do

only nu-males dislike venom

Hello /metal/, you can please show me the song that goes DUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUDUNDUNDUN ?

See

Primordial

Falkenbach

>tfw you realise Agalloch is better at post-rock than metal

post essential Primordial album

To the Nameless Dead
