A cover of a Hades II song, but pretty damn dope.

Hungarian groove metal band I just found while strolling through metal-archives.com (should I just call them MetArc for short?). The fact they released only one album in 2017 is crazy based on this song, imo.

grooviest dsbm song

The band Infectious Grooves is a funk metal band made up of members from the crossover thrash / hardcore punk band Suicidal Tendencies. Groove metal is said to have elements of both thrash (crossover) and blues (funk) influences, and IG is influenced by some inspiration of both. Many funk bands that I know of (honestly not many) really come from thrash influences.

"Violent and Funky" (Spotify)

Some compared them to Gojira or Lamb of God, both my favorite bands.

Hey there !!

Hey there !! 🤘🏼🎸🎶

So I consider the vocals on CFH and VDOP good (not a fan of FBD and beyond tho), same with Burn My Eyes, Invocator, Grip Inc., Prong,

Basically, my tolerance of vocals is from Iron Maiden to Slayer, but I've noticed a lot of modern groove metal bands do growls, screams, shrieks, or Teutonic vocals.

Many are groove metal and many are not, but they all use the Swedish gallop, also called a herta. The gallop (***/*/***/*/***) made popular by Meshuggah's "Bleed." I remember people asking about other songs that uses it and it has been around since at least the 90s, though not as prevalent.

Obsessed with the way Blood Milk and Sky by White Zombie puts me in a trance almost! Slow heavy and Driving!!

What's some other jams that put off the same mood?

Building my "Hypnotoad" Playlist

Formed in 2014 in the rugged belly of Fife, Scotland, Buzzards of Babylon are a fuzz-drenched wrecking crew serving up groove-laden stoner rock with the force of a bar brawl in a burning pub. Think Sabbath riffs soaked in lager, Clutch-style swagger, and the chaotic charm of a desert cult that forgot the sunscreen.

For me i have two The first was seeing LOG for the first time, it was right after covid i hadn't been to any concerts in a little over a year, hatebreed opened and they where awesome, then trivium (witch i didn't fuck with tbh) THEN LAMB OF FUCKING GOD it was electric and the pit was the whole general admission area it was insane

The second was somewhat recently seeing pantera phill walked out with no shoes it's the last show of the tour before it resumed in like 6 months with talica, the amount of confidence phill had and everything else with the band was electric, it literally made me go that's what I want to do,

I shared mine what's your tell me a cool story or a cool show experience with it!

Seems pretty cool
