>They were called metal at the time, but they weren't: Metal isn't sexy, but rock is.
-Joe Perry of Aerosmith when talking about Guns n Roses
>Is there such a thing? Metal sexiness? A bunch of sweaty dudes in black clothes? This is possibly the most sexless genre that you could find.
-Metal artist Devin Townsend
>Survey shows that metal is among the lesser genres of music to listen to while having sex
bbc.com
>study shows metal and other intense music listeners correlate to lower testosterone in males (not as low as classical/jazz/avant garde that makes up "sophisticated", but still pretty low, lower than everything else)

You literally have to go to boring elevator music tier stuff to find more soy music than metal. Otherwise, just about everything else is far less soy than metal can ever be.

the shit that really gets me going is when doom bands write faster tempo songs like Candlemass' Born in a Tank, makes my little nuts quake
Lucas Morgan
lol
Evan Watson
vektor terminal redux
Jordan Robinson
>look mom I posted it again!
Isaiah Williams
It's just slower power metal with no creative takes on riffing nor atmosphere. Boring as fuck.
Jordan Richardson

Graham Bonnet is the best

Seriously why is metal album artwork so cringy
It's either edgy skeletons/gore/violence or drawn by a hobbyist
Justin Peterson

Ian Torres
Great artwork, you're just insecure fag
Hudson Butler
early 90s dm had really cool artwork
i actually used to think unleashed was a black metal band based on this cover
Carson Kelly
And the award for doing anything but write a new album goes to.
Leo Collins
Morbid Angel
Nolan Turner
>dude! i love merciless!
Brody Bailey
at least they try to convey something unlike all those random indie and electronic genres covers
Brody Rodriguez
...
Christian Parker
that cover looks fine
black, grey and white black metal covers are shit
Samuel Miller
no one wants to hear that shit except mentally ill weaboos
they put an album out like 2 months ago
Carson Thomas
>metal is among the lesser genres of music to listen to while having sex
>Not blaring Blasphemy's Fallen Angel of Doom and Sarcofago's INRI while fucking your gf on her period
Luke Davis
The album was supposed to be out in 2010 lol, every year since it's been "95% done" and even then half of it was supposed to be old songs re-recorded. If you'd have told me in 2008 that Luna Sea would reunite and release albums before X I wouldn't have believed you yet it happened.
Blake Murphy
>The Velvet Underground & Nico
>album has a song with riffs that transitions what the main riffing instrument is every time the riff develops, a song that's punk-like but done barrelhouse style, a song that's got a wall of sound juxtaposed with a viola to make it create unique texture, a heavy rock n roll song, a long form dynamicly progressed song, a very dark experimental pop song, a couple standard pop songs, and an improvisational track
>instrumentation has a variety of instruments that get used in a variety of different ways to create a ton of sounds
>typical album /metal/ dickrides
>all songs do the same heavy distortion guitar riff progression with the open note lowest string being the tonal center 99.999% of the time
>guitars don't change tuning or anything, drummers play in a certain way through the whole, nothing different through the album
How can the metal genre even compete? This isn't even about being soy or nu male. Metal albums rarely offer much difference from a song by song basis. I don't see how anyone can take such a genre seriously. The average metal album's a one dimensional, one trick pony experience.
Nathaniel Watson
>It's either edgy skeletons/gore/violence or drawn by a hobbyist
There is literally nothing wrong with this though
Tyler Sullivan
wrong, this album's got a cute lil whale on it
Brody Wood
Not every album needs to be a cornucopia of 13 different genres
Gavin Flores
>soycofago
>fucking your gf
pick one
Mason Lewis
>soycofago
Where did this meme come from. I thought Sarcofago was liked here
Angel Taylor
>Metal albums rarely offer much difference from a song by song basis.
i like it that way
Ayden Baker
>album has a song with riffs that transitions what the main riffing instrument is every time the riff develops
yea, but all the riffs suck so it doesn't really matter
Jaxon Foster
someone faggot that got upset that an user called their favorite band "soy" probably
Camden Hill
it is, that guy's a redditor trying to fit in
>
Grayson Wright
soycofago is macaco non-white shit
t. Wagner Soymounier
Austin Roberts
Sarcofago is KVLTR than anything you listen to, faggot boy
Benjamin Reyes
No, but there needs to be variety there for the thing to not feel like an utter waste of time. TVU&N isn't exactly doing completely different things to the extent it all doesn't fit together either, there's a generally similar aesthetic through it all tying it together. Metal has no excuse.
More power to you I guess. Idk why anyone would wanna waste that much time essentially listening to the same thing.
Nah it's hella creative riffing that takes advantage of each instrument that takes center stage for riffing. Much more evocative than muh heaviness riffing which has no message or anything behind it, too.
Parker Cook
t. failed Professor Antichrist's statistics class
Wyatt Ward
Is there a metal song with the creativity in riffing of the main riff to Paranoid Android by Radiohead? I think not.
Tab of the riffs cuz you guys are probably brainlets: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com
Brandon Hill
>economist
>professor
>still lives in shithole minas gerais
Grayson Reed
100% macaco face
Jack Nelson
Carson Reyes
>called dragonlord
>not a power metal band
Justin Jones
Yea, well, the song you posted sounds like pop trash, and creativity doesn't help it really
Nathan Martin
>expecting metal guys to actually be talented or successful at anything
Levi Price
>Look it up
>It's real
researchgate.net
Hunter Adams
one of the kikes in anthrax is a watchmaker
Nicholas Walker
>that intro chord progression
>pop
Lmao, imagine listening to nothing but distorted power chords for so long your entire concept of harmony and melodic progression is completely fried. This is below pop trash listener tier hahahah
Connor Evans
this was the other recent album but i don't dig the operatic vocals but maybe you fags will
invictusproductions666.bandcamp.com
Robert Smith
its funny because it was made by a couple guys from Testament, so I imagine that they just couldn't leave PM out completely
Justin Hall
>watchmaker
>relevant in the modern age
Pssshhhh
Austin Gonzalez
>even more borecore
Stop posting here
Jace Long
im in the army
no, i guess you're right nevermind
Jaxson Martin
make me you jewbagel
Jaxon Davis
>he doesn't own a watch
>tells the time with his "smartphone"
Ian Nguyen
>harmony
>melodic progression
those are things only an overly faggy hipster cares about, so take your garbage somewhere else
Aiden Jones
>caring about parts of the music is faggy
Oh man, I always knew that metal was always about the image more than the music, but I never thought a metal fan would readily admit it as well. No wonder there's so much LARPing from metal people all the time.
Luis Hernandez
>No wonder there's so much LARPing from metal people all the time.
seriously satan? you're just putting this together?
Austin Rodriguez
the only things that matter are RIFFS and oöghs, and image doesn't have anything to do with it (in most cases)
Dominic Morgan
God Damn Evil
Austin Bennett
The entirety of Altars of Madness comes to mind, considering each song has multiple "main" riffs that is all tied together and each song connects to each other.
Connor Murphy
NEVER
NO, NEVER AGAIN
LISTEN TO ME AND BELIEVE WHAT I SAY IF YOU CAN
Dominic Lewis
...
Joseph Collins
riffs ain't no fun if their melodic/harmonic content is no fun. Which is the case with metal as it fails to do anything inventive with the riffing concept.
>power chord riffs only: the album
>intro, verse/chorus x2, followed by development/breakdown, then verse or chorus type structure on all but one or two songs: the album
>creative at all
Metalheads confirmed to be pretty embarrassing.
Ethan Cooper
sorry Graham's more alpha than you Varg
Joshua Myers
You were saying?
Ryan Sanders
Mercyful Fate and Celtic Frost come to mind. Lots of neat tempo changes
Check out Celtic Frost's Into the Pandemonium if you want some unique sounding metal

Nonsense, here's a pretty pink album cover.

Reminder to appreciate Sickie Wifebeater and his riffs and shreds.
Jack Russell
Wow fuck

Brody Richardson
>his pseudonym isn't similar in any way to Count Böoger Cunningulus Sleazegrinder von Emoslayer
Colton Powell
Who has or had the best vocals in metal?
Landon Rivera
Graham Bonnet
Landon White
It doesn't fucking matter if the riff is technical or """creative""", if it's good it's good. Metal is just not your thing, just like """creative""" Radiohead is not mine, and there's nothing wrong about disliking certain things. This whole fucking argument is subjective, so trying to prove how metal is dumb and all of us are dumb is also pretty stupid
Michael Bailey
As of now, my favorite is Travis Ryan.
Jace Davis
>he doesn't like riffs
Jaxon Bailey
see this is nice and all but its not /metal/ enough
apart from spurdo edit, what do i add to this
Kayden Russell
chainsaws
Sebastian Anderson
I'm not sure if I love this ironically or not
Nicholas Jones
Extend it to the left
What is it flipping off? That's up to you to decide
Aaron Lewis
