Nuclear Assault, Corrosion of Conformity, D.R.I., Cro-Mags, Suicidal Tendencies, Pro-Pain, Cryptic Slaughter, S.O.D., etc... I miss the mixing of hardcore punk and thrash fucking metal. Do people do this anymore? Can anybody clue me in to what bands are keeping that style alive? Or recommend...

Another thread got me thinking about this, so I'll ask... ...despite the overuse of this piece in just about anything, on its own merits, is this not one of the most impressive slices of music ever? No matter how much I hear, I keep coming back to this. Orff was a genius. He managed to pack...

Flame if you want, but I just heard the song "Nothing Remains" off the upcoming album from Chimaira. Holy. Shit. Listen. Now. Then share. http://www.roadrun.com/Music/

No, not the SYL song... What is it about this topic? It's like no one wants to write or hear anything about it unless it's in the vein of Dismember's "Skin Her Alive." A great song, but doesn't anyone accept that love is one of the most powerful emotions we have? If it could be utilized, it...

I know a lot of people on here hate Megadeth, but those who are knowledgeable on the new expanded editions can help me out. Are they worthwhile? How do they compare to the original editions? I heard Dave went and redid a lot of stuff. Is it noticeable? Is it like those horrendous Ozzy remasters...

I just wanted to make a general observation. The Chasm and Symphony X represent two extremes(not necessarily opposite, but close) of what can be interpreted as modern metal's classical nature. The Chasm are the conservative approach to neoclassical--a strict interpretation of the term's...

Metal is a Western form of music. Its roots are in classical, blues, jazz, punk, and other styles of music which have all originated in the West. That means a 12-tone palette with the Circle of Fifths, the respective enharmonic scales, natural major and minor scales, harmonic and melodic minor...

The band HAS changed it before... If they were to send us a curveball like a new logo, what do you think it'd look like? Ideas, brainstorming, or panicking--your choice. Just think about it! I'd be interested to see a tech-y change, like In Flames and Dark Tranquility both pulled circa...

Got any prog music recommendations? I don't know when the last rec. thread popped up in here, and I'm dying for some new stuff that's classifiable as prog. Old-school like Genesis or ELP, progmetal like Queensryche or Fates Warning, prog-death like Cynic, fusion like Gordian Knot, ethnic...

I don't think they've ever had one. Maybe they should release one with a few teaser songs, maybe a cool cover, or a few live tracks, even some more of those horrid demos from before '94...:lol: Maybe a 20-minutes single like Meshuggah did? Just to dissuade all this anticipation and lack of...

VVVVV's was a little out-of-date, so I'll start a new one: Recommend and/or fellate the hell out of stoner rock bands, songs, albums and culture. Anything from Mastodon to Fu Manchu to The Obsessed. Hell, even stoner-esque doom metal and stuff like Cathedral or Sunn0))). I recently fell back...

I just wanted to bring up a discussion on cut-and-paste songwriting akin to Mr. Bungle, Candiria, Between the Buried and Me, Dream Theater, Meshuggah, Opeth, etc. Although there is little to no correlation between riffs, phrases, movements, or seemingly anything as far as...

Metal is a diverse subset of music, and under this vast umbrella of styles and interpretations lie the various languages spoken by metal connossieurs, fans, and the musicians spread across the world. Although it is a testament to metal's cross-pollination and diversity, the use of such a wide...

One of the coolest things in recent memory, save the title font color... Is there a story behind it? Can anyone come up with any? Where is that house, or whatever that building is...located? Food for thought...

First off, I'd like to express great distress at the fact that this forum has not progressed one iota since I first arrived over a year ago. The same silly threads, the same fanboys, the same arguments, and loads of noobs every single day. *sigh* Okay, now my point. I've noticed that Opeth...

This thread might seem like an effort to stir up trouble...at first…but bear with me. Can black metal have verse/chorus/verse structure? I assumed BM usually had narrative or classical structure, or crafted minimalist epics like early Bathory or Darkthrone? Is BM about being "heavy?" I...

Ever wonder EXACTLY where the names of well-known genres came from? Or how and why they came about? Take 'heavy metal' for example. We had a thread about the origin of that title. But how did someone come up with that to describe the music? Opinions? The same goes for subgenres. 'Death...

Just some food for thought, considering I've been around less frequently in past weeks. Is melody necessary in music? I have a difficult time listening to music that is lacking in melody. I can appreciate dissonance, atonality, and the respective atmospheres associated with each, but is it bad...

My band has decided that we need to choose between two names: Ethereal Darkness -OR- Tikdoshe Our styles should be pretty diverse. Everything from death metal to black metal to thrash metal to tribal hardcore to two-chord goregrind or whatever. The latter is the name of an African...

Anyone heard of this band? They sound like some interesting atmospheric black metal band to me. Either French or Russian. Comments?
