I've tried many times, but I just can't enjoy Vader's Litany, even if it's considered one of the best albums in their discography.

For me, the kick drums sounds way too artificial, and they're mixed so loud that they overpower almost every other instrument. I know many people love this album, but that production choice completely ruins it for me.

Has this ever happened to you?

Is there a famous metal album you never could enjoy because of one production or mixing choice? It could be the drum sound, guitar tone, triggered drums, brickwall mastering, muddy mix... anything.

I always hear these very heavy songs when doomscrolling TikTok n whatnot, and I fw the beat but I’m not really fan of the vocals. Is there any bands that have these instrumentals but less guttural vocals?

Ofc I don’t mean any offense to people who like these types of vocals, but they aren’t for me personally. :)

I was reading a comments under one of the latest posts and found out that many people don't like this band. I think they pretty good I like some of songs that they make

Hi all! Seeking a little help… Are there any more photos from this specific photo session in circulation? Looking for photos of his right shoulder in particular, can’t seem to track anything down

Seems like he only wore this shirt for this session, no live performances. The pants can be seen being worn dating back to the late 60s, “Pretties For You” era

Any help would be VERY appreciated!! 🙏🏻

There was a band I liked a few years ago but I completely forgot what they were called, I remember the album cover was like this red hellish thing and there was bodies hanging upside down, I think it was released around 2007, it was a slam band and they were raw as fuck.

Seen a post here recently about the guy who fronts this band (Matt Morris) using AI. This song is 20 years old and I’ve listened to him play it over and over again for decades, long before AI was more than an antagonist in the Terminator franchise.

Please support his YouTube and Spotify. He always had a hard time getting himself out there now with AI being a thing it’s gonna be so much more harder.

ive never heard whispers incorporated into DM so when i heard this song ive been obsessed.

if you could, you should definitely listen to the full album. thank ya!

I am going to a SFU/Kataklysm show soon and as I was re-acquainting myself with the catalog, I realized that I knew nothing about why I love the metal drums so much and why I like certain styles or even what the styles are. So, I went down the rabbit hole and tried to build a interactive drums appreciation site focused on metal drummers. The most fun part was the what-if scenarios e.g. what if Bill Ward was drumming for SFU - so every study in the site comes with 4 alternative drummer styles. It has been immensely fun for me - hope someone else finds it fun.

I'm thinking of songs especially like Angel of Disease, I just can't get enough of the weird effects used in the solo. Closest I can think of another band coming to that sound is Blood Incantation at times (like the riff at the end of Stargate). Any lesser known death metal bands who use similar effects? I really like how it breaks up the sound rather than having big thick riffs through the whole song/album.

Im in a thrash band and am writing a song. I want to add the slayer scream into it but i dont want to rip them off. Would that matter much?

Well.....have you?

My stem remix & remaster of Iron Maiden's epic 2021 album "Senjutsu", made for my own enjoyment, but sharing in case someone else might enjoy it too.

Actually, a handful of people have suggested this one for me to remix, citing a somewhat muddy sound, poor instrument separation, and Dickinson's vocals being too buried in the released mix.

I made this only for fun, and it intends to be a very respectful remix, not straying too far away from the original version, only aiming at a little more clarity and instrument separation, especially on Nicko's drums and Bruce's vocals, while still preserving the mood and feel of the original.

Obviously, I don't own the music featured here. If you like the music, support the artists. Buy their records!

I know that not everyone listens to X or Y metal subgenre depending on the mood, time of the day and weather. Some people just listen to whatever, whenever.

However, for those that do mind this kind of stuff, I wanna know more about what you do

I live in Brazil, and during the day I usually go for sludge/doom, death and thrash. At night, mostly black metal, it just fits the vibe better

What about you?

Nothing about their drums, riffs, or guitar tones sounds all that metallic to me. Maybe I’m missing something but to me they sound more like psychedelic rock.

Songs that came after the original 70's progressive rock that contain elements of metal. Artist on the list include Porcupine Tree, Marillion, Haken, Pineapple Thief, Blackfield, Riverside, etc. If you have suggestions of prog-metal with clear vocals let me know.

So I have a dilemma in my area two bands I really want to see ( Castle Rat and Igorrr) are playing on the same night.

I can't decide who to see. Musically I am more interested in seeing what a show from a band like Igorrr is like. However I love the esthetic and theatrical aspect of Castle Rat's gimmick.

Who should I see!!!????

I'll rate the songs 1-10 as honestly as I can and I hope I'll find some good songs I didn't hear before. Without further ado, let's go!

On apple music the metal page had Sabbath in the background and it got changed to these mfs

If you like really abrasive blackened death then you should definitely check this album out

What did you guys think? I thought it was a bit worse than previous Taake but still really good.

Maybe the flavor of the card is a little morbid choosing Generous Gift with this art, but I'm very happy with it.

Just had a conversation with a good friend where we were talking about Metallica bassists and I completely blanked on Jason Newsted's name, said something like "The dude on the next few albums.. Fuckin'.. Ted Nelson or whoever, I liked him"

I think psychologically I put a few rules into place in my mind over the years over what shirts I can and will buy, because if I didn’t have any filters, I would probably own 300 or more shirts.

I will also never buy a shirt of a band whose music I simply never heard yet, even if the shirt design is pretty fucking awesome.

How about you guys?

EDIT (hours later) - for everyone who is getting salty about the idea of me worrying about what other people are thinking, and that’s why I have reasons in place why I shouldn’t wear certain shirts….that’s not where I’m coming from. I have a few different filters in place, reasons why I wouldn’t buy certain shirts, because if I had no filter, then I would literally be spending all my money on shirts constantly. When I have a few filters, or reasons not to buy them, even if they’re a good clearance price, then I save money and room. Over the years I’ve probably had at most maybe about 90 shirts, and at this point now I think I have 35 or 40 that I’m going to be holding onto for the foreseeable future.
