t. Nu-male

Only instance in which I'm glad the band changed their original covers when they reissued their albums

Wait, forgot about Blut Aus Nord

This is now a Comix Zone thread
No seriously check this shit, this guy writes heavenly songs

Enuff Z'Nuff were a great power pop band and were all really good musicians (Check out Frigo's early '80s band Le Mans and you'll see some terrifying sweeps that surprisingly, were pre Yngwie), but the problem was they got caught up in the whole hair metal thing.

Paul Gilbert summed it up pretty well, imo.

>"The problem is that many of them are produced as heavy metal records. The big fuzzy guitars and bombastic snare drum do their best to cover up the chord changes and melodies, but if you listen carefully, there is beauty underneath all the chaos. The trick is to play these songs on an acoustic guitar or piano. Hollywood Ya, Baby Loves You and Blue Island are some of my favorites. Donnie Vie and the band finally started to figure out what kind of production best suits their songs, so the more recent Enuff Z’Nuff albums are a bit more listenable from the outset."

He co-wrote the best Giant song.

>force two people in metal to fuck and make babby

Who and why?

totally not gay btw

I fucking love Drudkh and have been autistically spamming this album for a week

Men can't have babies with eachother

Post alternate cover art/extra artwork.

not yet, shitlord

how do you know, have you tried?

Yeah I know. They're like Beatles gone glam for no reason. I guess I should've mentioned other cliched glam bands instead, like, I don't know, Danger Danger, that wound up on that list.

Tell me why are people collecting tapes again?

yes
oh sorry I didn't know you here hard at work in your lab
let me know if you make any progress

Dude
'90s
Lmao

cuz its kvlt bro
>'90s
it's far more of an 80s thing, especially when it comes to metal

hipster faggots

Floor Jansen and someone who isn't the fucking drummer in Sabaton

OK song. I've only heard 2 Spiro albums, "Devotion" and "Now Is Then, Then Is Now". The latter was only ok, but Devotion blew me away

>cheaper than vinyl
>easier to ship, handle and store than vinyl due to smaller size
>tape hiss and murkiness is more appropriate for the kind of metal I like than vinyl crackle
>different aspect ratio for the cover usually means exclusive cover art
>bands often go out of their way to add cool shit like extra art and lyric booklets
>they're just danker

>it's far more of an 80s thing, especially when it comes to metal
Millennials don't even care, they have their own version of '90s they're so nostalgic about (despite never having lived in it).

>Enuff Z'Nuff were a great power pop band and were all really good musicians

I absolutely agree. Donnie was quite an underrated song writer.

what metal does she listen to?

His best work is as an outside songwriter, imo

>even taking vinyl into consideration
>actively seeking defectuous formats that distort the music and thus ruin the band's intention
>exclusive cover art
>extra art

confirmed for hipster faggot who doesn't even care about the music

>glam isn't metal
Some is. Some isn't.

Shame he's never been able to get his shit together, it's sad to think how many years and how much productivity he's lost to heroin. Last thing I'd heard of him was that he'd been arrested for meth manufacturing or something crazy like that.

Why did thrash metal stop being cool after the 80s and 90s?

>Some is
and I suppose crust is metal, too

You don't have to collect them if you don't want to :)

it was exhausted; everything that could be done within the style had been done

I totally would collect tapes if I knew what to play them on. What are affordable tape players, preferably portable?

There's only so much you can do with the same 1 chord GOTTA GO FAST template.

Some of it absolutely is. Much of the early British scene overlapped with Extreme Metal.

Crust that is Metal: Amebix, Hellbastard, Sacrilege, Life Cycle, Concrete Sox, Axegrinder, Behind Enemy Lines, Deviated Instinct, Extinction of Mankind, Dystopia, Extreme Noise Terror, Hellshock, Hellkrusher, Iskra, Resistant Culture, Inepsy, Statement

What does /metal/ think about Mr. Big?

>Memes aside, Def Leppard, Skid Row, Motley Crew, Twisted Sister, Warrant, Whitesnake and Poison are not metal
Get a load of this guy. Search any music database for their genres if you're in doubt.

There's not nearly enough BLEGHs in non-core metal.

I'd even settle for some barks.

Trey Azagtoth from Morbid Angel and Wata from Boris.

The ultimate baby that can bring the badass fast as fuck riffs but also slow/groovy riffs while also being able to fit in weird minimalist classical inspired stuff, too for added variety. Helps that Trey's a weeb as well.

Skid Row, Motley Crue and Twisted Sister are definitely Metal. Even Def Leppard's first LP is Metal. Fuck, Stryper is now more Metal than ever.

Warrant, Whitesnake and Poison are not, though.

Anthrax feat. Public Enemy

This album is great.

1983-1985 is good
everything else is fedora garbage

Give me a name.

It's just arbitrary categories, really. I see no real point in being purist when there's no clear boundary and these bands stand on it.
But that user can't take it that people simply discuss (in a civil manner) these bands in this general. So here's a some true metal pic for him

You're just trying to be contrary.

No, NDH is mostly non-Metal. The only exception I can think of (and that's only because of their last album was a Groove/Industrial crossover) is Hanzel und Gretyl. Otherwise, the entire genre isn't Metal.

>Show No Mercy is required listening
Required listening doesn't amount to much more than "babby's first"
You're Roger now.
>

Yes. Reign in Blood is perhaps the most important album there has been in thrash. But IMO it's not an easy listen. It took me a long time to appreciate these abrupt tempo changes and stuff like this

>You're just trying to be contrary.
A.K.A.
>u don't agree w me so ur a meanie
And I suppose noise rock is metal

Black Metal:
>M8Л8TХ [M8L8TH]: Russian/Ukrainian Black Metal with a distinct folksy RAC influence. Their latest album has a wonderful blend of clean and harsh vocals.
>Nachtgeblüt: Argentinian Black Metal/Neoclassical crossover project of Eviigne. Previous albums had some classical pieces metallicized, but "Dying Echos of a Past Forlorn" highlights Eviigne's talents as a musician.
>Campo de Mayo: Another project of Eviigne. The music here is much harsher and more direct with fiercely anti-communist lyrics and songs glorifying the regime of Jorge Rafael Videla, infamous for putting communist dissidents on death flights.
>Kristallnacht: Their entire discography on one album. Raw French Black Metal with plenty of harsh tremolo picked lines. Pretty standard.
>Dub Buk: Highly folksy Ukrainian Black Metal with foot-stomping riffs, gang shouts and flutes.
>Grand Belial's Key: A US NS Black Metal classic. Not only one of the most intentionally hilarious Black Metal bands, but also one of the most intentionally hilarious NS Black Metal bands. Anti-Judeo-Christian lyrics with plenty of potshots at Jews and Jesus.
>Fanisk: Another US NS Black Metal classic. Epic keyboard-driven passages and walls of tremolo craft a fantastic atmosphere transporting you to somewhere beyond space and time.
>Absurd: All their classic tunes rerecorded for a new generation. Those who found their earlier work childish, raw and amateurish will appreciate the dedication from the new band to polish the old tunes into something quite powerful.
>Der Stürmer: Harsh Greek NS Black Metal with members active in Golden Dawn. Plenty of fast, furious, tremolo-picked power chords and feral shouts.
>Veles: Polish NS Black Metal classic.
>Graveland: Another Polish NS Black Metal classic. Slow, epic passages crafting an atmosphere of Viking warriors charging into battle with lyrics influenced by Ron McVan

pretty gay lad

hahaha oh man

Black Metal (cont):
>Teмнoзopь [Temnozor]: Russian Folk/Black Metal crossover. Pagan lyrics and epic passages with clean and harsh vocals.
>Pantheon: USNSBM concept album. Much of their discography sucks, but they struck gold once with this concept album.
>Spear of Longinus: Australian NS Black Metal with a distinct old school influence. Hellhammer and Celtic Frost fans will enjoy this. Loads of lyrics of Nazi mysticism and Hinduism.
>Genocide: Thrashy Chilean Black Metal.
>Sombre Chemin: French Black Metal with an RAC undercurrent. Imagine early Absurd with Burzum-like atmosphere.
>Totenburg: Triumphant, but fierce German Black Metal that packs quite a punch. Like later Absurd with more aggression and thrashiness.
>Peste Noire: National Anarchist Black Metal with a very faint folksy influence. Plenty of feral vocals and blast beats with tremolo picked lines from hell.
>Aryan Blood: German Black Metal influenced by old school Heavy Metal. Worth it for "To Build an Empire" alone.
>Mjölnir: Unique German Black Metal with melodic and symphonic influences that craft a distinct atmosphere. Think old Lucifugum mixed in with Bathory, Enslaved, and Nokturnal Mortum.
>Naastrand: When traditional French folk songs discover Black Metal. Very unique and quite powerful.
>Wolfnacht: "Night of the Werewolf" is the best thing they've done. Everything else is rather mediocre Darkthrone worship, but the debut has some Absurd influences.
>Thunderbolt: The Polish lovechild of Emperor and Dissection. The atmospheric interludes are implemented nicely, rather than feeling superfluous. In a word, tasteful.
>Bannerwar: Greek Black Metal with bright tone elevated by a of the guitar melodies, a symphonic regalia of the pianos and keyboards, and a bloodied rasp of its front man. Energetic anthems bearing a semblance to Emperor's In the Nightside Eclipse, though not strikingly so. Don't expect much RAC influences. Even their cover of Blue Eyed Devil's "Eternal Fight" sounds grim

Heavy Metal:
>RaHoWa: A sore subject, but George Burdi sure tried his damndest to channel Peter Steele. This album is pure Type O Negative worship with some awesome songs and terrible songs. The best are "Man Against Time," "Hall of the Heroes," "In the Fires of 1945," "The Last Battalion" and "God Is Dead". The cover of "The Snow Fell" is great, too.
>Honor: Epic Viking Metal with plenty of charging riffs and passages similar to Manowar and Graveland. The English version is superior to the Polish version, so track that one down. For some reason, the Polish mastering is horrible.
>Fortress: Incredible Heavy Metal from down under. NWOBHM-influenced Metal with an epic heavy ballad "Southern Birth, Northern Soul"
>Warlord: NWOBHM-influenced Metal from Skrewdriver guitarist Steve "Stigger" Calladine. Anti-Islamic "Jihad Joe" will make you crack a smile and "The South Will Rise Again" will make you unfurl your Rebel Flag.
>Excalibur: Czech Metal legends. Later albums go into Death Metal territory, but the debut has epic Metallica-influenced riffs and plenty of headbanging sections in spite of the awkward English.
>Buldok: Similar to Excalibur, but much more influenced by Dokken and Manowar, making the album sound surprisingly American. The Czech songs are better, but "Mission Spandau" has this saxophone section that always makes me smile.
>Spirit of 88: Heavy/Groove Metal solo project of a German musician. Catchy riffs in spite of the awkward vocals.
>Bomber: German Motörhead-influenced Heavy Metal from drummer/vocalist Kalle. Plenty of catchy riffs and feral vocals.
>Estirpe Imperial: Spanish Metal legends with Iron Maiden-esque riffs and patriotic lyrics.
>Kontingent 88: French Heavy Metal/Hard Rock with thoughtful lyrics and epic riffs. Easily my favorite out of all these.

Hell Awaits > Reign In Blood > Show No Mercy = Season In The Abyss > South Of Heaven

Thrash Metal:
>The Raunchous Brothers: When The Mentors discovered Teutonic Thrash. "Faggot Bolshevik" alone is quite a statement.
>Mudoven: if the Cro-Mags were racist, they'd be Mudoven. Solo-project of Vaginal Jesus guitarist Jim Crow, a purported veteran in Massachusetts hardcore underground. "Back to Africa" and "Green God" are classics.
>Bound For Glory: American RAC legends who fully underwent metalmorphosis on "The Fight Goes On." Every album after is just as great, but the songs here rule. "We've Got Your Number," "Doctor Marten Dental Plan," "Our Voice Is Stronger" and "Welcome" are testaments to the band's fury.
>Death's Head: Australian Thrash Metal with a distinct Hardcore influence. Perfect for moshing.
>Durandal: Slayer fans rejoice! French Thrash Metal with riffs distinctly influenced by Slayer and other American Thrash legends. The whole album is the best France has to offer.
>Frakass: The French Nationalist version of The Exploited. Moshable riffs and a great vocalist to boot.
>Ultimatum: A lesser version of Frakass. Riffs are still good, though.
>In Tyrannos: Slayer-influenced Metal project of German legend Daniel "Gigi" Giese. Loads of lyrics about the Freemasons, WWI, the Jews, 9/11 and other great topics abound.
>Iron Youth: Greek Thrash Metal. Everything else they produced is mediocre, but at least they got it right here.
>Squadron: RAC legends go Thrash here. Plenty of Hardcore-influenced riffage, but "Death Before Dishonour" will make you want to mount your horse and charge straight into battle.
>Кoppoзия Meтaллa [Korrozia Metalla]: Vulgar Russian Thrash legends. This album is when the band started to let it slip they aren't exactly tolerant. "K.K.K" gives some obvious hints, and the anti-Arab song from the following album would solidify their political stance.
>Кoлoвpaт [Kolovrat]: Even more explicit racist Russian Thrash. The playing here is very tight and the music has great production values to boot.

Nah, they are a lot of fun on their first five. Only on later shit like God Hates Us All is where they start doing that.

Show No Mercy is one of the speedier speed metal records out there. Great, too if you like Bathory's s/t, Motorhead, Venom, etc.

Haunting The Chapel EP is like something in between the above sorta speed metal and the really fast thrash metal they eventually become known for.

Hell Awaits probably has the highest variety of riffs/structure in their discography. It's focus is mainly on atmosphere so there's long slower parts, too between the fast ones. Kinda like thrash doing some sorta black metal or death metal with dark atmosphere.

Reign In Blood is their fastest record, and has one of the highest riff/time ratios of any metal album. Granted there's no as much variety in riffs to circumvent the constant changes, and they are simple riffs, but it's still fast and hard hitting.

South Of Heaven is their slowest of their good albums. I think the slow, groovier riffs are cool, but they also had clean guitar parts and cleaner vocals which weren't as great. Still a decent listen though.

Seasons In The Abyss has a little bit of all of the above, and is the longest one by far being 42 minutes long (all their records are pretty short, which is another thing I like that they usually get straight to the point.)

how is this faggot not banned from spamming yet

Death Metal:
>Arghoslent: American Death Metal with thrashy heavy riffs similar to those of Manilla Road. Loads of lyrics about slavery, conquest and, of course, the Holocaust.
>Berserkr: American Death'n'Roll/Groove Metal with incredible production values. Fans of Entombed, '90s Sepultura and Pantera will enjoy this.
>Vaginal Jesus: Hilarious Grindcore with a Seth Putnam connection; hilarious lyrics and nasty riffs abound.

From that post I can tell just what kind of man you are.

>waaah he created a chart that hurts my feeewings waaah

>SHUT IT DOWN

oh no he implied I'm a nu-male, how will I ever recover

even worse, he's probably implying you're le uneducated brute dudebro

You're the one strawmanning all over the place while I respond thoughtfully.

I don't believe it's possible for you to recover.

meshuggah is the only metal band I've followed for every album

He posts the exact same shit every time, and it shits up the board. Besides, I honestly think it would work better if he just posted that on Sup Forums because most of us here know those bands and if we don't, do know where/how to find them.

>I smoke dank kush and get my dick wet
>/metal/ unironically has a problem with this
lmao when did this subreddit become /r9k/?

>I respond thoughtfully
>this level of self-delusion
You're literally saying "these bands are metal because they are" and getting mad when someone disagrees. You're no better than me. In fact, you're a bit worse, since you think those styles are, even if partially, metal.

>lmao when did this subreddit become /r9k/?
>subreddit

This is either the smoothest bait or the most hilarious Freudian slip.

'bout 2011

>He posts the exact same shit every time
oh no, that's terrible sweetie i'm so sorry :(

>it shits up the board
not really, i and others have found some new bands thanks to his charts and we end up discussing actual music. it only shits up the board when kikes like you derail the thread with whining.

>Sup Forums
nah, it's a music chart. you're just a faggot.

You aren't doing that as a result of him posting it. If you had no clue about those bands, you may not be as into metal as anyone else, so you're just poser garbage who it sounds like just started posting here because the rest of Sup Forums probably triggers you.
>nah, it's a music chart. you're just a faggot.
With a very obvious political bent that would help expose it more to others.

What level of mental retardation are you on? Jesus christ, with plebs like you, we'll never be able to discuss music itself.

Lmao, stop embarrassing yourself. You sound like a some sort of broken robot now (or a retard but hopefully a robot.)

You're trying to spread political views, not music. That's clear.
