These are my top four favourite Swedish black metal releases, although IMO you really can't go wrong with pretty much every album Dark Funeral or Watain have released.
I’m new to Testament I enjoy a lot of their songs Sins of omission and over the wall are my favorites. I also like shadow people, practice what you preach and so on so forth. A song came on Liquid Metal called The fall of Sipledome and it was heavy as hell and growling vocals. Looked up the year it as 1999. What other testament songs have growling vocals and why was that so heavy compared to everything else I hear from them
What is a scene where the spirit of the director’s work is inherently “metal” in its energy, its attitude, aggressive technical choices, high stakes drama and acting, etc?
I realize Temple of Doom is almost horror but I select this because of Spielberg’s building of tension with sound and visuals, plus the amount of shock value it must have had upon its mainstream Indiana audience. How dare they!
Hi, I engraved a brass coin, polished it and burnished it. What do you think of the result?
I've been getting into a lot of slam lately, and my favorite subgenre is definitely brutal death, so I was wondering if there are any bands that mix these? Like 'Brutal Death Slam Metal' bands??
I for one love Worm, Fossilization, Type O Negative, Pentagram, just getting into Frowning what about you guys who also like Doom Metal?
YT algorithm recommended me this song, it sounded nice, checked couple other songs, liked them. Great. But I wanted to know a little about who this band is and there's nothing, except description on the channel saying
>All music composed, played, recorded and mixed by Alex frost
Is it really one guy playing all parts on real instruments separately and mixing them afterwards? Does anyone have any info on this particular person? How legit is it and are there more "bands" like this, but with more information available on how they produce their music?
I shared a short version of this story as a comment in a post the other day, but I thought more people might enjoy this story of the time when Dio was running late to the record store I worked for back in the 90s, so I wrote it up on my blog. Hope you enjoy.

I've been listening to it so much that I had the impression I've had it for more than a year. I had to check when it came out before posting 😀 I love how it has a bluesy feel as well.
80% of my time listening to music is metal bands, but I love to throw in completely different genres to mix it up and spice things.
My self example:
- Carole King
-Willie nelson
-Clutch
-Doris
-Rival Sons
-kesane teto
-Sabrina carpenter
The list goes on
What do you guys like to cleanse your palate with?
Its mostly metal
I reckon that, like most of you, I’ve got dozens of black band T-shirts. Lately, I’ve been on the lookout for other colours (white doesn’t count, sorry). I know the modern scene (core, post.. to name a few) is placing a bit more emphasis on this trend, but I prefer old-school stuff, especially old death metal.
If you’ve got any recommendations or just want to show us your brilliant band T-shirts , do feel free to post it :)
Longsleeves are also very welcome there
PS: I’m in a band too, so please make sure – at least for lesser-known bands – to use links to Bandcamp or official shops; no bootlegs, no second-hand items. Merch is a significant part of our income
I found these guys when Marty Friedman mentioned them being an influence in an interview. Blue Blood is definitely THE X Japan album. One of my favorite Power Metal albums of all time. Jealousy is also a really good album. Then they have the one song “album”, Art of Life, a near 30 minute song with 7 minute piano solo.
“Endless Rain” is my favorite song and any other song of Blue Blood is great. My other standouts would be the title track and “Week End”. “Voiceless Screaming” and “Say Anything” off of Jealousy. Their first and last album has some tunes as well, just less standouts.
i dont trust metallum, but i wanna find out if there's actualy band with these 2 combined?
Yesterday's thrift store round was a success :D We have this one seller who has one self loaded with different vinyls and CDs which they restock once every few weeks.
Well today was my lucky day and I found In Flames album Siren Charms autographed by the band! There were also few autographed Finnish bands CDs but I don't listen to them that much so I left them for other collectors to buy. The price of this CD was 20€ ~ 23 USD so imo VERY good price for what these sell in the marketplaces or eBay 🤘🏼
Title says it all. Looking for bands that fill this niche.
I did a video where I show you how I play all the guitar layers in my song Different. Full 14 minute song - https://youtu.be/Df6e9AGHYMo
Would love to hear your thoughts! This song was supposed to be a part of my upcoming full length, but when I started recording the song really took a life of its own, and I realised it doesn't fit the rest of the songs in the album and it needs to have it's own spot. its just - Different :)
Sleepless Void is a playground for all my musical ideas and lyrical thoughts, it deals with themes of solipsism and isolation which I often find myself lost at. The feeling of being alone and different in a society which you can never really understand.
NO AI WAS USED IN THIS SONG!
For gear nerds like me:
* Guitars: Mostly recorded on a Les Paul with DiMarzio D-Activator and Super 3 pickups (I love this combination and have been using it for a long time). On some solos, I used my ESP Mystique.
* Bass: Yamaha RBX 775
* Vocals: Shure SM7
* Drums: Samples from Superior Drummer and Steven Slate Trigger
Most legendary bands have ups and downs, but maybe there is a flawless band?
First off this is “…and stay down!” By Charles Keegan. One of the coolest art pieces I’ve seen in a long time. Secondly, I hate myself for asking a question like this because I know “vibes” are intangible and not a great metric to measure something. I’m essentially looking for some more DM that makes you want to go out and slaughter the undead in a parade of gore and graveyards. Autopsy is the first band I think if for this. Some others would be Sinister, Deteriorate, and oddly enough Incantation.
