What i like from Metal is: if i able to turn-off the human voices,
be it natural voices or sound-modifed by machine like chipmunks.

Though, I also view the rap musics in the same light, but alas without the babble-ness it can't be trully called rap anymore.

To all Metal fans i present to you a god, Devin Townsend:

For those interested, you most definitely need to listen to these albums:
Devin Townsend Project - Addicted
Devin Townsend Project - Ziltoid the Omniscient

enjoy this awesome Orchestral version from a great band:

and a "normal" one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TTghmiPffc

it is a fact that Germany produced 90% of the greatest bands of 80-90s

You can't kill the metal, Metal will live on!

This thread is relevant to my interests.

My picks are: Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Dio, Pantera, System of a Down

I didn't post in the rap thread as I've got nothing good to say about rap. Nothing against people who like it, but its appeal is completely lost on me.

That's awesome!) Classic metal is awesome!) It went through the ages and 20-30 years later it still rocks!)

I love good Melodic death, it started with Children of Bodom, then I turned to something deeper and better. Dark tranquillity, In Flames, Arch Enemy are among my favorite bands. Pure energy!)

All hail metal thread \m/ \m/ 😁

eh, why not... here's some Vintage Addiction, courtesy of Dishammer. Doubt that many here will like the song, but we can all relate to the title:

Now where do I begin... for me it all started some 20 years ago when someone from school gave me Nirvana's Nevermind to listen to; then I moved to Queen, Manowar, Megadeth and Metallica (probably not in that order), then came Lake of Tears, Theatre of Tragedy, Therion and Lacrimosa.

Right now I like this (some might say it's too cheesy, but I guess I'm growing older, I cannot listen to Dimmu Borgir or Dark Lunacy forever 😀):

But there were many (and of great variety) in between - Nightwish, Tristania (then Sirenia), In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Einherjer, Tenhi, Mono Inc., Equilibrium, Eluveitie, Falconer, Falkenbach, Vintersorg, Insomnium, Moonsorrow, The 69 Eyes, To/Die/For, Suidakra, Vicious Crusade and a lot, lot more...

Keropi: Have you ever heard of Metal Force , aka formerly known as Masjesty ? that is some FUCKING nice metal too 😀

Oh of what kind of groups do I like too ? Manowar, Iron Maiden, and then also Metal Force I have mentioned.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLFKV5JkCeo

I also love Nightwish (with Tarja).

Keropi: thanks for mentioning and showing me the other awesome German metal bands 😁

And oh yeah I like hip hop and rap too. But then again I love so many genres.

You can't like metal, and not like Metalocalypse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IzEncyqfgw

And I notice there's no mention of Rammstein yet... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHUsIU161w4 Sacrilege people!

I know Rammsetin is probably, like, "noobie my first rock for girl babies" compared to real metal in Germany or the rest of Europe, but it's still radblasters compared to the "Music" put out these days...

Rammstein.. not really my cup of tea, but they have made an okay cover of Stripped. But oh well, I prefer Scooters version of that song instead.

This is one of my favorite Nightwish songs. I know, it has the newer vocalist and some people don't like that, but I personally think she sounds amazing. 😁

Nightwish - The Poet and the Pendulum
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwy3EvdRhNU

Also, here's a really awesome gem from Therion. 😁 Oddly enough, I first heard this song in a video about some Unreal betas. 🤣

Therion - Nightside of Eden

I see there's lots of love for the modern stuff, and some for the classics too.
Allow me to try and fill in the void with a compilation of more oldschool-minded things:

Manilla Road | Angel Witch | Judas Priest | Amebix | Witchfynde | Bathory | Arkham Witch | Venom | Pagan Altar | Discharge | Plasmatics | Darkthrone | Dark Quarterer | Tank | Witchfinder General | Pentagram | Ritual | Hellhammer | Enslaved | Cirith Ungol | Voivod | Picture | Mercyful Fate | Black Virgin

(you're welcome)
