Her successor in AE, Alissa White-Gluz, is worth hearing though, as, like Tatiana from Jinjer, she does both and does them pretty well. Angela resurfaced recently and did a song with Amaranthe (whom she manages). It's pretty good, she's still got it. If the October Behemoth/Arch Enemy/Carcass tour does go ahead, I will get to see Alissa 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer this, which is both heavy and like nobody else - like a Cardiacs of the metal world!

Amaranthe always seemed like prime Eurovision fodder to me, especially in the post-Lordi world! They're heavy enough for the hairy headbangers and yet poppy enough for the masses. One of those "something for everyone" bands. Bonus points to you for the first mention of The Cardiacs on this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found my musical tastes have developed and evolved over the years. I STILL love these old bands and Rush are my all time favourites but I LOVE hearing new music and finding new bands. I find I can listen to music from all genres and enjoy it. I've gone the other direction. My 2nd band is a more blues based rock band covering Tony Joe White, JJ Cale, John Mayall, Peter Green, Eric Clapton, Commitments (not Mustang Sally tho 😀) with a few rock songs thrown in but its a style i had never really done before. Its not that laid back slow guitar solo style blues stuff which i have tried many years ago and didn't like it. What it did was highlight an interest in some of those bands and more away from heavy rock. I just cant get into that really heavy metal stuff like Metallica and heavier. I've tried listening and it just does nothing for me at all. Same with Dream Theater. Great individual musicians but put em all together and nowt for me i'm afraid. I am more of a prog fan than anything else and would like nothing better than doing Prog covers but can't get the staff these days. 😁 Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I did hear a Rammstein album once and was quite impressed. Dont laugh but it was a management training course i was on and the guy that was running it had asked his daughter to put some songs on his MP3. That's what she put on and the guy played it at the breaks for coffee or lunch which was all brought in for us. Think that might be the heaviest i've enjoyed.

I assume it would just get harder and harder to use until you have no choice, but they have to keep the free option there, because they made all those promises about it being free for ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, where i couldn't really listen to that for long, primarily due to the singing, I can appreciate it more because they are doing what they want to do because they want to do it, rather than it being the thing that people do, like a lot of the previous metal stuff. That is what the yoof should be doing. I guess eventually they will all put on black viking inspired clothes, get a band logo with monochrome spikey fonts, and sound like everyone else, but in the mean time it is good!

toneknob Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I've just watched the Jinjer video, then a few reaction videos (some of which have great insight and/or comedy). The band really missed a trick by not calling themselves The Spanish Inquisition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 While my musical roots are pretty much in punk/post-punk, it can go as heavy as it likes, so long as it's well written/crafted, well played, interesting and the vocals are good. Can't stand cookie monster vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toneknob Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I get ads like crazy when watching youtube on my phone. The algorithm they have for working out a suitable pause in the broadcast to break for an ad is hilariously bad. On my desktop PC (probably because I'm signed into google elsewhere), no ads. But also I have Adblock Plus installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
