I haven't really gotten into Venom yet or Nuclear Assault and haven't heard any of the other two. I will add Celtic Frost to the list though.
 
Celtic Frost is cool, but the album Monotheist is mixed very loud compared to my other music. My ears don't appreciate. And I keep forgetting to lower the volume of the file.
 
I've found that with a lot of the newer music from the late ninetys onwards. It is mixed a lot louder that stuff from many years ago.

Monotheist is a good album though. Very atmospheric. Have you heard any Hellhammer or Apollyon Sun, Tom Fischer's other projects?
 
I've heard Hellhammer, to be honest I never really got into it though. :indiff: Anyone know Arcturus or Sigh? Some very interesting metal there.
 
Can't say I've heard of either of them. I got some Destruction the other day so I've been listening to that a bit.
 
They're kind of cool, but they have more breakdowns than any band I've ever heard. :crazy: Listen to the drumming on "My Fears Have Become Phobias."
 
Yeah i've been listening to their album. What's wrong with breakdowns! I love them! Although they sound repetitive after awhile. Favorite breakdown would probably have to be from "Hester Prynne"
 
Blackbird.

I'm not against breakdowns, but I think having so many of them kind of ruins their effect.

Anyway, a funny little thing happened to me today:

I was getting on a plane from New Mexico to California, but my dumb self left my ID at my friends place. I just turned 18, so this is the first time I've actually been required to have it. I told the security guy what happened, and he said he'd let me pass because my shirt was "badass."

This was the shirt:

:D
 
No, but thanks for indeirectly telling me it's Voivod. I always thought it was Volvod, and was perplexed as to why they didn't have a wiki.

Anyone into or listen to Voivod?

Nothingface was excellent. Not into them after that, though. Nothingface, the song, is one of my favorite songs of all the music I listen to. Everybody should own this one song.
 
I think there's a Voivod song in Guitar Hero 2, I remember I liked it. Sounds a bit like Black Sabbath, am I right?
 
In some places it does but its a mixture of a lot of different elements. I've tried to get Nothingface but can't find it anywhere.
 
Theres a lot of bands to be getting into at the moment. I've recently discovered Kreator, Destruction, Voivod, Venom, Ministry, Earthtone 9, Overkill, Probot and a few more.

I think I'll have to get a taste of Nuclear Assault now. All the above bands are brilliant though.
 
Out of all their cds I'd have to say Survive is my favorite, my favorite song being F#, at least that's what it says. I 'd say they sound like an 80's hair band mashed with Slayer.

Weird thing though, on that cd, they redid Good Times bad Times by Zeppelin and it is just :yuck:. You just can't redo a song like that 👎

i dunno, id just call em thrash. theyre pretty on par with the sound of the day.
 
I would have to disagree with that. Black Sabbath although they are the undeniable fathers of heavy metal (along with Deep Purple and Led Zep) they are just heavy rock.

Judas Priest took the sound and morphed it into heavy metal as we now know it and many thousands of other bands took that sound and so on, so on.

I also don't think that Iron Maiden, as good as they are, are heavy metal. I think they are also heavy rock.
 
in much the same was as how the heaviest metal of 1978 is now considered hard rock...

Yeah I was going to mention how "standards" have changed. If a band like Black Sabbath came out today they would be considered Hard Rock or something along those lines. Of course, I wasn't around when they came out, but it is generally recognized that at the time they were the most brutal band out there. Add 30+ years of metal bands trying to outdo one another and the standards of what is considered metal certainly change.

Now we have bands like Abortion Clinic Dumpster Overload and Cephalotripsy.
 
Thats probably true but when Sabbath came out, the term heavy metal hadn't been used to describe music. And Sabbath never really got any heavier than their debut. Many consider the first true heavy metal album to be Judas Priest's Stained Class which was released in '78. I have found that after that point and only after that point, music did start to get even heavier.
