Yeah, I can't get on with their synthyness ... It was very much a case of "How long have I been out for??" and "Come back, Judas Priest. All is forgiven." 😆

I could not comment whether Ghost qualify as post-metal. But I would say that genre labelling can be very subjective at times.

Have heard worse 👍

My sentiments exactly.

Nothing like a hot, sunny day to make you want to blast some atmospheric black metal 👍 Shortly after emerging back into society following several years of caring for my offspring in a vacuum-like existence, I found myself once again in a rock club with my old pals, re-living the heavy metal lifestyle of my youth. Sitting there with my pint, I pointed at the ceiling and said to a mate, "What's this??" as a Ghost track filled the dancefloor. "It's Ghost!" he said. And then added, "It's post-metal!" I stopped listening to him after that.

@ubit I took this photo of FFDP at Wembley last year. Thought you may appreciate.

Based on this thread, I just watched the first two episodes - very good. I laughed at the bit in episode 2 where Amina is trying to plug her guitar in at rehearsal. That's basically me ...

😁

If the October Behemoth/Arch Enemy/Carcass tour does go ahead, I will get to see Alissa 👍

I wasn't disagreeing on that part. I was disagreeing that Jinjer were the creator of that particular vocal style.

Deafheaven!!! Yes! I posted this on my FB a while back, nobody liked it..

Ha, yes - I understand you meant the video aspect rather than the vocal style. Nothing like listening to a melodic, peaceful line of song knowing full well that someone's going to start shouting any second .. Also, not trying to be an arse or anything, but Angela Gossow was doing the death metal vocals when she fronted Arch Enemy a good twenty years ago...

Disagree. Opeth have been doing that since their first album 'Orchid' in 2000.

I thought the core belief in Satanism was neutrality? Although, I am aware that there is more than one school of thought regarding what true Satanism is/means.

That's exactly what I was going to say!

😁 Oh you kidder, you.

👍

Also Decapitated and Necrophagist. Forget it, I'll be here all day.

Good to see Bolt Thrower and Kreator getting a mention, who I just LOVE. To be honest, those bands don't even strike my ear as "heavy" after so long listening to them, even though they are. I would also put Carcass and Rotting Christ out there as two of my heavier/favourite rotations (hopefully seeing Carcass supporting Behemoth in October if Covid takes a hike??) Side note to add: live, breath, eat, sleep, die for Megadeth. I have devoted my life to that band.

Very well put. The sound of metal changed so much. I hated it at the time but looking back, what a broad base of music it became. I know that black metal had its roots in the 80's but the emergence of extreme metal in the 90's and 00's was just mindblowing. To go so deep into those subgenres was just a maze I didn't want to ever come out of by the time the year 2000 arrived.

I can take or leave Kyuss. I like Tool now but I admit it took some convincing - I was fashionably late to the party in grasping their sheer brilliance, shall we say. The point I was trying to make was the gaping difference in metal as we know it, when those two decades are compared. Lots of great bands came out of the 90's - it just took me a while to get with the programme.

The 90's was a really confusing time for metal. Things started to fall apart. Bruce Dickinson left Maiden. Vince Neil left Motley Crue. Grunge happened. New sounds like Sepultura, Nine Inch Nails and Tool came into play, and new genres opened up. Newsted cut his hair. Ellefson cut his hair. I couldn't get along with any of it.

🤮

Well I wouldn't go that far ..

Yes is it. Did I not read this anecdote before in the tribute band thread or am I imagining it??
