I'll fly at you, bruv. I recently inherited a gorgeous lacquered cedar humidor, and a few choice cigars from my father's collection. Supply's running a little low, I know. Since we have some upstanding blokes in this corner of the internet, it seemed logical that at least a few of us can...

Recently I've been digging through my post history and my iTunes library and revisiting the bands I enjoyed before I went off to college and my musical palette expanded. The purpose of this thread is to discuss whether the album(s) you post can still kick your ass, whether your refined taste...

So the other day, my band Dreadnought's submission to the Metal Archives was rejected on the basis that we're not a metal band. Since we get marketed and booked as a metal band in the local scene here in Denver, I'm curious as to how y'all would identify us here at UM. It's also an excellent...

We're releasing this album in April. We draw influences from all kinds of different music, I'm sure there's something in there for you. Utopia's the 4th track on this album, and the climax of the conceptual story.

Hey guys, I've taken a serious breather from death metal after being saturated with the old school/slam/grind scene I grew up in where all the bands worshiped Cephalic Carnage (who are cool dudes so no foul on their part). The last death metal album I enjoyed was Ulcerate's Destroyers of All...

My band Kastigation is releasing our EP on August 6th! We're definitely satisfied with how everything turned out. If you like black, death, folk, and progressive metal it's well worth checking out. And if you like what you hear, you can get a digital copy at our bandcamp. We'll have...

I know a couple other people are bothered by this, and now I feel obligated to bring up in a separate thread that the word female, used as a noun, not an adjective, is disrespectful. It degrades women to their biological purpose and should be censored on this board, in my opinion, when used as...

I noticed that there are particular subjects that get me excited in a completely apparent way. Usually I'm very calm and collected, but when someone mentions a relatively obscure band I'm into, I regress to a childlike state for a few minutes. A lot of people enjoy this, but a couple of my...

I read a lot about this sub-subgenre and have not actually heard much of it, other than maybe Grand Belial's Key. Does anyone have any bands they'd recommend for me, a lad who enjoys avant garde, unconventional black metal?

Nigga whatcho life's goals is? I want to go back to school after I retire and study jazz. Because if I have to make a living on it I don't want to work in the music business.

What with all this 2000-2009 talk going on, I thought I'd address the topic of this decade's virtuosos as it nears its close. Some personal choices for me would be: Colin Marston of Behold... The Arctopus and Krallice Tosin Abasi, more for his work in Animals as Leaders than in Born of...

They deserve a forum here.

Welcome to my thread, where we will discuss websites and media on the internet that were popular and funny over the course of the past two decades, in order to determine if they are still funny, and to reminisce about the laughter we once shared. Please limit your contributions to one per...

I wish people would shut up about The Faceless. Seriously. It seems like I hear praise for them around every corner, and they're good, but they're not that good. I said the same about Born of Osiris before them and Beneath the Massacre before them. Simply not worth the praise. People keep...

This is a thread dedicated to death doom, melodic doom, blackened doom, funeral doom, blackened melodic death/funeral doom, and other subgenres of doom metal not approved by Dodens Grav thus far as real doom metal. Personally, I'd say Novembre's album Materia makes it into at least my top 20...

This is cool y/n

and post your favorite albums. I figured I'd be a douchebag and dedicate a thread to yet another subgenre of metal. My favorite band right now is Withered. They're not strictly sludge but then again I don't give three fourths of a ball.

Anyone else ever notice nu metallish parts in songs by the bands you listen to? Here's one of my favorites, it's much more apparent when you have it playing through stereo speakers:

I'll be having a conversation about metal with some friends and they'll mention the name of a band I've never heard of. Then halfway through the conversation I'll realize who it is they're talking about, I just pronounce the name completely differently. For example, a friend asked me if I...

So I just got my copy of Akercocke's "Words that go unspoken..." Is it supposed to be separated into 99 different tracks? It runs the right amount of total time and everything but the songs are not whole, they're separated into little bits ranging from 15-30 seconds or so. Does anyone else...
