Anybody ever hear of The Black Lodge from France? They were so ridiculous they ruled. They were heroin black metal pioneers. Y'know how lots of those black metal bands play live shows in corpsepaint and big spiked armbands? Instead of spikes on their armbands, these guys had syringes. They played live with a drum machine.They're probably dead or male prostitutes in Paris by now..

...and I know I've got a separate thread for this, but the new Drudkh album Microcosmos is very very good. Aside from their all-acoustic album this is the farthest out on a non-metal limb they've gotten thusfar. The first and last songs are traditional Russian folk songs played on acoustic instruments and the third song Ars Poetica is basically a really long Smashing Pumpkins song with Roman Blagih doing the vocals instead of Billy Corgan. Not to rip on metal, but it's nice to see a band like this distance themselves from the pack. Although the first half of Далекий Крик Журавлів has some light-speed blastbeats..

IMO Microsmos was a disappointment. Its still much, much better than the average black metal album, but it falls short of Drudkh's previous recordings.

Metallica, Bullet For My Valentine, Children Of Bodom, Alexisonfire, Parkway Drive, Destroy The Runner, Dimmu Borgir, As I Lay Dying, In Flames, etc.))

They've changed/evolved - that's undeniable. And I still like Blood In Our Wells the best, but I also like both A Farewell To Kings and Moving Pictures by Rush. Two very different albums, both great.

Check out this Hungarian "Avante Garde Metal" band, Thy Catafalque:

Never heard of Alexisonfire, Parkway Drive, or Destroy the Runner, thanks for the recs. I also just started listening to Bullet For My Valentine, their name sort of suggests emocore so I had been avoiding them.

I love going to hardcore shows and grabbing peoples feet while they roundhouse kick at invisible ninjas. Those shows remind me of the opening scene in Sidekicks.

Why is this band getting so much publicity? It makes no sense to me. They suck.

Cause they're totally br00tal and the singer wears a basketball jersey

^^^^^^^^^

I know outsiders think deathmetal and blackmetal vocals are silly, but that guy has a very very silly vocal style. At least they're better than Shitknot, Korn or Disturd.

See - this is why so many metal guys just give it up and get into ambient or electronic music.

Agree on the Sleep recommendation.

**cdlv** · 08-30-2009, 07:22 AM

heard suicide silence on liquid metal on sirius and found it better than most of the stuff they play on there.I like the hardcore throat ripping scream style more than the cookie monster "i have a harmonizer" and am not afraid to use it" style (which was overused by the mid 90's).

and to make up for my horrible suggestion here's some classic late 80's grindcore

That guy doesn't use a "throat ripping scream" style. Turning the levels all the way up on the vocal mic does not equal throat-ripping screaming. And half the time he is in fact using cookie monster vocals. Tune out the Sirius.

...and how many deathmetal bands actually used a harmonizer? General Surgury and maybe Mortician are the only ones I can think of.

...and I heard ENT are afraid of A/C.

**cdlv** · 08-30-2009, 07:49 AM

how about some macbre to lighten the mood:

jer, lots of metal bands use harmonizers for the vocals, maybe not live but in the studio i can think of at least 3 bands i helped record that used em

more classic metal goodness
