Buggernut Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 no... because there are acoustic songs infinitely heavier than some of the 3 chord wannabe's out there... its about song structure and riff styling... anyone can get a distortion pedal, but you need to be able to understand metal to play it Come to think of it, it's actually quite silly to try to pigeonhole artists as either metal or nonmetal. If anything, they should be categorized more on a song by song basis, and even that is subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, they should be categorized more on a song by song basis, and even that is subjective. yes and no some are inherently metal... some aren't it's pigeonholing yet at the same time, it's also an identification... coming out and saying your band is metal means that for the most part (if not completely) you are rejecting the pop music system... I always found that the easy way to identify bands was actually how the albums are written... most pure metal bands write albums as a whole, where as the focus with pop and some rock bands is as many "hits" as you can, even at the sake of not creating an identifiable style, then top up the album with filler...

That doesn't make Metallica any less metal, just the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VICanucksfan5551 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 DIMMU BORGIR FTW. \m/ Up the irons! Speaking of Iron Maiden, I always feel torn when listening to them. The guitar work is fantastic, some of the best I've heard in terms of melodic leads. You can hear their influence in countless metal bands today. I can't stand the singing though, not at all. That high pitched style really rubs me the wrong way/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighwayToHell Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Nope, not my style of singing at all Well you're talking to a nut who actually likes Shagrath's voice, so I'm a little biased on that subject, seeing as how I wear Iron Maiden shoes, most of the time.

HockeyNut30 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I saw Dimmu Borgir live at the Commodore a few years back. ****ing awesome show. It was their In Sorte Diablo promo tour but they played some old goodies too. Saw Opeth at Progfest in whatever theater hall is right around the corner from the Commodore. I liked them a lot, but I'm still a bigger Dream Theater fan. I don't listen to as much metal as I used to. But when I do it's usually some kind of Scandinavian death metal or Gothenburg metal.

The metal interest for me comes in cycles. Certain times of the year I listen to it more than others. It's weird, but I've always been that way. I also really like Satyricon.

j0tun Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I will certainly be attending the Ensiferum/Hypocrisy show in November. Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom will be playing guitar in Hypocrisy, which is an added bonus, but I'll be there primarily for Enisiferum. I leave you with some awesome songs from Insomnium, probably one of the best Melodic Death Metal bands ever, and certainly they are the current leaders of the genre with In Flames departing from their original sound. Seriously, Insomnium has it all, amazing riffs and melodies, great growling and clean vocals, and actually excellent and meaningful lyrics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j0tun Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Didn't quite click the first time through, but they seem to have a lot of elements I like in music. I'm sure it'll grow on me later like most bands I like after hearing them for the first time. Yea man, I know what you mean. It takes a few listens for me to start getting into certain bands, and I would group Insomnium among those for myself. But now I can't get enough of them, they are incredible once you get to know their songs. They have 4 albums out now, the most recent coming out in September called "Across The Dark." "Above The Weeping World" is probably their strongest album, followed by "The Day It All Came Down." They are so underrated and under-appreciated. I don't even know if they have toured outside of Finland yet but I know they have a huge fan base around the world. Definitely worth just clicking through songs on youtube or something and getting to know them. Many of their songs have these great acoustic interludes where everything slows down and then builds back up again, reminiscent of old In Flames. Anyways... \m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
