Metal, of the Heavy Variety

[Black Wizard]

Hell yeah. At The Gates was awesome. Didn't they release an album recently? I've not checked it out but I remember hearing they were going to release something new. I was out of the metal loop for a little while haha .

They did actually, in 2014. It was pretty good.

There's not been too many Metal threads here I don't think. Nor too many Metal fans for that matter. This dude @Kuolema from Finland was one of the few, he was really into black metal and old school stuff, we took over the thread I made years ago (much like you and I have here lol). We both stopped coming around for a while though, haven't seen him in a long time.

Old school stuff and black metal? Fuck, dude would fit right in.

Smoked a bowl and dozed off into outerspace listening to this album a few hours ago.



Really nice doom.

I'm like a minute into the first song and already think it's great, lol.

That At The Gates song is pretty good! Cool riffs.

Dude, holy fuck . I haven't listened to Samael in more than a year. Without a doubt one of the greatest black metal bands ever. Underrated as hell too, tbh.

One of my favorite albums ever. <3


These are great too.

Spoiler

They started releasing Black Metal/Industrial stuff after Ceremony Of The Opposites (though Ceremony already has a bit of an Industrial vibe), you might like those albums as well.

Spoiler

You don't have to listen to all of these at once lol. But you should definitely give these guys a listen, maybe just skim through some parts of the albums (track lists are usually in videos' description). I think you'll definitely enjoy some, if not most of their material.

If you're already familiar with them then LOL at this entire post. I'm kind of a fanboy.

I was familiar with them, but I hadn't actually heard their old black metal stuff prior to Passage. I found them through their industrial stuff but knowing they started out with just black metal is even cooler.

 

[Swift]

Their classic stuff is up there with Darkthrone, Mayhem, Emperor, etc. for me.

Been listening to this -


My kind of Death Metal.

That's pretty damn good. The ability to weave in atmospheric vibes without it being overbearing is nice.

I've been listening to this band since I found them today. People say they ripped off old Mastodon, but I look at it as continuing where Mastodon left off.

 

[Swift]

I'm not too familiar with Mastodon, but that sounds a lot darker and heavier than the Mastodon I have listened to. Though, I do see similarities especially when the "clean" vocals kick in.

 

[Black Wizard]

New Mastodon is darker but not as heavy. Those guys are basically combining the heaviness of Mastodon's albums like Blood Mountain and Leviathan and the dark overtones of The Hunter.

Also this is great stuff, they only have a demo and an EP out but I'm looking forward to more.

 

[Swift]

Love this so much.

Has that spacey, would be amazing to listen to high sound.

Those guitar solos and screams are blissful to my ears. <3

Started listening to Machine Head earlier today, my favorite tracks so far.

 

[Swift]

endless riffs

Been in a doom mood as of late.
