But the singer doesn't sound as though he's farting down a drainpipe. It's not metal enough.

This is the reason I haven't considered myself a metal fan since I was seventeen.

This is such a great feel good song.

Sounds of ES Drink...? :confused: :lol:

btw great music. ;)


Edit:
Can omeone find / suggest also bands like symphonic metal as Nightwish? :p

Subway to Sally
Stratovarius
Gamma Ray
Blind Guardian
(Old) Edguy (By extension Avantasia)
Aina
Dimmu Borgir
Green Carnation
Within Temptation
Kamelot

That's all I remember from my misspent youth at the moment.

Bands like these are part of the reason why I didn't consider myself a metal fan since I was seventeen. At least not until a few weeks ago when I remembered there is still tons of good metal, under all the shit.

I'm imaging the embarrassed look on your face when you realize what I actually meant was the elitism within the metal fandom.

Incidently, I still like a couple of those bands. Blind Guardian and Green Carnation in particular are amazing, so go fuck yourself and take your trying-too-hard metal with you.

I'm sorry. When I listen to metal my elitism levels go through the roof. I should probably cut back on my intake.

Too much metal is bad for you, you know.

I used to be an elitist "metal fan" when I was like 13. But then I realized how much of a fucking moron I was being now I don't give a shit what "kind" of metal people listen to. Shit's called metal because it's heavier than rock. Everyone's got different tastes in metal anyways assuming they like metal.

Anywho, listening to this right now, which is not metal in any shape way or form sorry to disappoint:

That isn't really great music. It sounds like farts.

Very, very little symphonic metal do I listen to these days, but when I do, I listen to Delain and Within Temptation.

I though that it was your favorite? :confused:

You said it. Person per Taste. ;)

Incidentally my favourite song not by Iron Maiden or Skyclad.

The symphonic metal or the song I posted, because I don't like that song I posted and I can just about listen to SM nowadays.

The last Opeth album was actually really good considering how it's such a departure from their signature sound. I've never been a massive fan of their metal stuff (very hit or miss in terms of albums, though they have some amazing songs), but this feels much less forced and more natural than the stuff they've been churning out over the last decade, bar Damnation. Mikael really knows his 1970's progressive rock, and can emulate the main bands of that era quite well while still maintaining his own unique sound.

Geez, I don't show up here for a couple of weeks and it's already the Elitist Apocalypse...So, to make the sour taste go away, have some Bonobo:

I know Bonobo via Cyriak.

Been obsessing over this band for a couple weeks now. Really fucking good stuff. Guys are fantastic musicians. It's really a shame that the frontman jumped of a church.

Fucking addicted to these guys.

I really like Megadeth at the minute. I've had this album since the release but it's only recently that I'm giving it a great deal of attention, and it's probably their best to date (definitely better than Endgame, but that was pretty good too.)

It's great but can't even compare to their first 4-5 albums.

Marina and the Diamonds has a new song

He's coming to Adelaide on my birthday. I don't think I'm going to be able to find anyone to go with me for $80, so I'm probably going to miss this like I did with the Beach Boys :(

Also, I bought a Brian Wilson solo album because he collaborated with Van Dyke Parks on it. Collaborated apparently means that Wilson wrote all of the music, then Parks wrote some words that were awkwardly tacked into spoken "narrative" sections. Brian Wilson shouldn't sing lead vocals any more. His voice isn't what is was in 1967.

I like this a lot.

I miss Madvillain...

Well then it's a good thing they (supposedly) have Madvillainy 2 coming out this year. Apparently the beats have been done for years, Madlib's just been waiting on Doom to lay down some verses.

That's a remix. I'm talking about the real thing.

Oh, ok. Both albums were in the making for so long, I completely forgot about them. DOOM really likes to take his sweet old time...

Older Anco is nuts. and wonderful.

Yeah. They were so amazingly weird when they were younger. They're still amazing, but aren't quite as difficult as they used to be.

Holy shit, this album is really good!

Ah, Fear Factory. It's been too long since I've listened to them. Brings me back to my CHILDHOOD or something.

You know what else is good





Oh also, unrelated at yet related all the same, one of you bitches better post in the Game Music Thread so I don't fucking double post.

Fuck I remember stealing my brother's Static-X CD to listen to that. Video to it was pretty good too~

Holy shit, you just gave me a reason to work on something and listen to:

New Dillinger is gonna be insane.

Damn.
