Anybody else here listen to metal music?
It seems to be scarcely discussed here, even in this forum. I'm mainly into stuff from the 2000s onwards, although I do like Black Sabbath quite a lot and I enjoyed seeing them live a few years back. My favourite band is System of a Down. I hope that they release new music soon as they have been teasing it for ages. I'm currently listening to Korn's Greatest Hits |

I like a bit of symphonic, though I'm mainly a casual fan.

You're in good hands, the forum admin supports metal stanning entirely. My personal favourite is power metal, normally crisscrossed with symphonic or gothic for best results. Nightwish are my favourite band, so much so that I've considered doing a countdown of their best songs in here to the excitement of nobody. Twilight Force are a great example of recent pure power metal though, it's wonderfully campy.
Metal is such a wide umbrella and there are great bands to fill every niche, Amaranthe for pop metal, Alestorm for pirate metal (always a winner despite seeming niche), I want to get into black metal a bit more, death is alright with things like Dead By April around and of course SOAD are legends. I mean, I don't go in for bands that are full growl, more because that's boring than anything else, but a mix of harsh and clean can be beautiful. |

I'm not but my brother is very much into metal. I think rock/metal fans like him just aren't interested in signing up for a music forum that is primarily for chart and pop music discussion.
He really likes Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, Periphery and Steven Wilson so I recommend those I guess?? |

Scars On Broadway remains one of the best alt rock/metal albums I have heard, it's a shame they never put out more material, maybe after the next SOAD record is out

Toxicity is my fave of theirs, I like the contrast between the heavy metal of the chorus and the beauty of the lighter sounding verses, which have an amazing vocal. |

Ultimate Painting have split up and cancelled the released of their upcoming album Up!. 'Tis a shame, because they made some admirable tunes like their eponymous song and Bills.
Listened to the first half of Blood Orange's 2011 album Coastal Grooves. It's really good from what I've heard. Still need to listen to the other Dev Hynes album, the one that a lot of people are hyping up (i.e. Freetown Sound) |

Could I perhaps run a Grimes rate? Whenever is fine! Was thinking just singles at first but she doesn't actually have that many, however she has released a string of music videos for songs that apparently aren't singles so could include all of those, or if people have other 'key songs' they'd like to include (could I suggest 'Feyd Rautha Dark Heart' from the less well-known debut album for example xo) then they could add those. I'm cool with any format.

any fans of The Tallest Man on Earth, he's from Sweden and one of the finest singer-songwriters of this century
he sometimes gets compared to Bob Dylan but think he's much betterthink he should finally have a new album out later this year, so far he's releasing random tracks every couple months this time his latest song Somewhere in the mountains, somewhere in New York is just gorgeous and fantastic |

How do ppl feel about those threads we get sporadically where someone lists and comments on their favourite songs / albums? I feel like I wanna start documenting not only my favourite albums but the albums that have had the biggest impact on me throughout my existence (#existential)... I was thinking of doing it in my blog but that's kinda inactive and I probably wouldn't get any feedback / insight...
This idea has been brewing in my head for a while and maybe it's time to finally give birth to it  It would be a fun challenge.
