tegs07 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) Kyuss or Sabbath are probably as heavy as I would go. Don’t mind music being challenging but still like a tune in their somewhere. Edited June 11, 2021 by tegs07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metalheads can be rather fickle sometimes. Desperate for something new to come along after years of metalcore/screamo and when it does i.e. classic metal riffs and powerful clean vocals albeit with pop style hooks and lyrics about devil worship, they don't like it! I saw them in Portland, OR in 2019 - absolutely fantastic live show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 The early hoo-haa over them was very funny. The demo got a lot of kvlt interest and they released a 7" for Elisabeth, I think. Once they started getting popular and the pop sensibilities started to shine through, the kvlt elite started having a meltdown. I saw a video of one chap burning his copy of the 7" 😂 What a plonker. Anyway, when I think heavy, I usually think this album. Heavy as a very heavy thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's the thrashy heavy of Slayer or the death heavy of Sepultura or the slow crushing doom heavy of Yob. I love the slow doom type heavy which makes you feel like the world is ending and Satan is rising with demons to destroy your soul. Its really lovely on a sunny afternoon. Where I feel challenged is thrashy grundcore like Napalm Death. I find it uncomfortable to listen to but that's how it should be. It's not intended as easy listening elevator music. Nothing like a hot, sunny day to make you want to blast some atmospheric black metal 👍 3 minutes ago, Supernaut said: Ghost are interesting. 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. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would say that genre labelling can be very subjective at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killed_by_Death Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 There's a new DarkThrone album out on 25-June, I will definitely give it a listen. Other people like Funky Music, I like dark & heavy Music. People claim you can't dance to it, but I can get down to some Black Metal! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveXFR Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I never really listened to Ghost before and since they were mentioned above I thought I'd give it a bash. I won't be listening to them again. They sound like a cheesy pop group sampling some bad Swedish metal riffs. They are the ABBA of metal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killed_by_Death Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Well, Black Sabbath is the original Heavy Metal band, so everything Heavy Metal is a derivative. That's why I state I am into both genres: Black Sabbath Motörhead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
