I'm a bit of an "audiophile" (though i hate the connotations of the term), and one thing i've noticed about metal recordings is that most of them... well... they just can't sound deep, wide, tall, etc. I think it is the nature of the guitars more than anything (high distortion, the need to be...

Do you guys think metal has gotten more popular over the past 10 years, less popular, or stayed the same? Feel free to share your experience.

Do you think metal has gotten significantly more popular since you first got into it? stayed the same? gotten less popular?

I don't think i saw a thread like this here yet (besides recent purchases, but here's a chance to collect it all into one post). What fun stuff did you buy last year? For me it was mostly CD's, and then some more CD's. Also bought a new amp/reciever for my surround setup, a Denon AVR-3806, very...

In this thread we discuss all things of the black, molten, tar-drenched sludge of droney doomy dirgey brown note metal. I feel there's not enough discussion on this around here. If you saw this and all you can think of is posting about Sunn O))), then please refrain. recent band i am enjoying...

thoughts?

need more please. Name drop at will!

I must find out who is the best at being awesome about music and i shall do it using this scientifically proven method. If we solve this problem, then the person who wins the competition can be designated to tell the rest of us when we need to become more good so we can be too good for whatever...

Let's hope it works out better than it did 4 years ago.

FORBES BODIE FROM TIME OF ORCHIDS SAYZ WE SHOULD DO SOME KINDA SLUDGEY METALLY ATMOSPHERIC THING WITH OTHER CHEESY WORDS TO IT LIEK MAYBE ETHEREAL OR TAR-ENCRUSTED I WANT TO MAKE THOSE ADJECTIVES WORK TOGETHER WITH U COME ON

hey guys, check this out! This band sounds nearly exactly the same as early Opeth! http://www.bumblelovesmusic.com/music/ForeverClosedEyes.mp3

Metallica was the first band i ever loved at the ripe old age of 11. I still have a soft spot for them, and more melodic/progressive kinds of thrash, but i don't know too many bands of the style. My favorites are probably too obvious to everyone here, but i always liked the sound of bands like...

I couldn't find a thread specifically on this, so i thought i'd make one. Who likes this style? What are some of your favorite bands? Obviously Sunn O))) is the big name associated with the style right now, but there's a whole shitload of other bands doing something similar that are really...

I think Opeth is my favorite metal band. MAYH has never once been boring for me, the replay value of that album is just insane...

I'm working on a new Passion Immortal compilation, and i'm looking to amass some new material, so i'd be thankful if you guys could reccomend me some music. I'm looking for stuff that is just dark dark DARK, stuff with the potential to terrify you, and stuff that can completely change your mood...

is absolutely the highlight of this tour. Saw them last night ans that song was incredibly awesome live. The ambient-ish middle section was WAAAYYYY better than on CD. Jesus, it was cool.

For a few years now i've been doing compilations of music in which i edit the pieces heavily and place the emphasis on arrangement and flow. The goal is to create a genuine "album" out of a collection of songs or parts of songs. The idea is that the arrangement of the pieces will bring something...

Anyone here into ambient/minimalist music? This is a compilation i just recently finished of music best listened to alone in the dark. I had done one before, called simply Passion Immortal, which was much much darker and intense, but this one is a bit more "pleasant" and easy to listen to. Not...

Does anyone else ever think about the way we percieve music? People talk about "atmosphere" often, but what is it? What happens when taken to the extreme? The way i see it, there are two distinct "kinds" of music. Music made from melody, designed to make you respond more to what notes are...
