I've been listening to metal again...

So after a period of listening to stuff other than metal 95% of the time, I've been on a metal kick for a while. It started off with Lord Weird Slough Feg and Iron Maiden, then I got drawn to super raw, dirty death metal from the early '90s, and from there I moved onto the new wave of old-school sounding bands, like Vasaeleth, and some other random death metal (guttural secrete, nuclear vomit) and black metal.... I've finally been able to appreciate early Darkthrone. God damn A Blaze in the Northern Sky is amazing

Just saying metal rings true for life :sifone:

 

curiosity: what pulled you away?

 

dude, you should check out korn. they're fuckin sick even if they're more of an alternative metal

 

no such thing as alternative Metal, it's called nu metal and it's garbage for children/people just getting into Metal aka nothing you'd ever recommend someone (unless you actually meant offense and/or are just a troll)

 

I think I just got bored with the sound. Even now I have little tolerance for metal bands whose sole ambition is to ape the records that inspired them.

 

what do you mean by ape?

 

dude...korn invented metal. They are the Alpha and Omega of it.

 

imitate. Unless they're extremely, EXTREMELY good at what they do, I need to save that hard drive space (and potentially money) for bands that don't want to write an album that's already been written a hundred times.

this blog has some fantastic cross genre type of metal, if your looking to branch out.

 

haha, harsh bro. i don't like labeling genres too specifically so i say alt metal for korn. nu metal is a shit name, just people trying to label something. oh, and korn kicks ass, so fuck you

 

I listened to Korn in 7th grade, and have moved on to bigger and better things .
