Sorry, what? I can't even tell what they're [del]singing[/del] screaming.

I prefer to be able to know the lyrics without looking them up.

Anywho:

Sorry, what? I can't even tell what they're [del]singing[/del] screaming.

I prefer to be able to know the lyrics without looking them up.

Most lyrics are either humourous, have a deeper meaning or don't have any meaning whatsoever.

However, IMO, screaming/growling/gutterals/w.e turn the vocals into an instrument rather than into a subject - Kind of hard to explain; think of it this way: instead of underlining the vocals ( like in Pop or Hiphop for ex. ) it takes the role of contributing to the essence of the music and accenting it, making it somewhat more emotional.
I've always thought of Metal as a kind of freedom - as long as you put your heart into it, it's good. You might now want to tell me, that other Genré do that very thing, too. However, topic-wise, most people tend to build up their topics around the same thing over and over again ( Pop for example revolves mostly about love and TBH there is little variety to that ( Heartbroke, Cheating, First Love... you get my point )).

If I really want to know what a band in particular is talking about, I look it up, because I know I won't understand the meaning of it until I look it up.

Anyways, that aside, I've found this really awesome band called Decrepit Birth.
They're technical, however, they have a very unique interpretation of 'melodic'. It's very interesting to listen to and if you don't the odd time signatures, I bet you'll love the soli =)

I think either Rosenrot or Frühling in Paris give a better demonstration than Du Hast. The lyrics flow brilliantly in both those songs.

I'd post a video, but I'm not listening to either of those right now.

exactly i was listening to du hast at the time so that was the song i posted, i ment just ment them in general.

anyway listening now

:3

Also, Combat is a pretty awesome song Hate Not what I'd typically listen to (I think I've said this before but... as much as I like properly-done growls and screams, I do like some element of clarity), but definitely not one of the songs I'd say "meh" to, and switch from after a minute

EDIT: Hmmm... Zombie Slam also deserves a mention

Swedish epitome of cool right there

 

[Hatebreeder]

Pop Metal, yay :3
I like it, that they got guest musicians play in PAIN =P
But other than that, I'm a big fan of Bloodbath and I do appriciate his vocals more in that band than in this one =/ I think he also played in Hypocrisy for a while...

time for some F***ING Christmas Songs!

Happy X-mas :3

It's Christmas =P
The chances are high that multiple people are listening to the same song =P

Er... I think that Peter still performs with Hypocrisy (although, I can't say I'm up to date with everything he or his musical projects get up to ) - either way, he does awesome instrumental and vocal work for Hypocrisy and PAIN (just gotta love the fact that most, if not all, of the studio work for PAIN is done solo )

 

[Hatebreeder]

Gotta love -core every once in a while =P
Emmure isn't exactly technical. I do love their use of vocals and metric overall =P However, I don't think this is something you'd listen to over and over again, because it loses tension very quickly.

Fast foward to 2:27 for the awesomeness =)

Alibi by 30 Seconds To Mars

This Is War is my favorite album from them I think.
And one of my favorite songs from them. It's really soft mostly, but it's nice to listen to.

slower song from slipknot but still good.

 

[Hatebreeder]

This is extremly dance-able =P

Well, I'll be dancing to this >:3

I'm pretty sure LSD is the rave/club scene mostly.

Raves are MDMA (Ecstasy) for the main one, but there are people who drop LSD at them.

Great beat. Great lyrics. Great song

I always get the feeling of being omniscient and the ability to understand the truth behind everything ( in a philosophical way, you see ) when I listen to In Flame's old stuff.

To those who don't know this Band; In Flames is more than just a musical expirience, it's definately worth listening to more than just one song =)

@ Hatebreeder:
Agreed. In Flames are awesome. :thup:

This thread [del]lacks[/del] needs moar! Sabaton...
[YOUTUBE]epeQwq-aYV0[/YOUTUBE]
And, way up there on my list of favourite tracks by Sabaton (not that [del]Coat of Arms[/del] 40-1 isn't on that list )
[YOUTUBE]y5V6sxZ8-eg[/YOUTUBE]

Far too many great tracks to choose from - why can't I listen to them all at once and still make out their individual awesome characteristics They're fairly damn good at putting the power in power metal

EDIT: What's this? I already posted Coat of Arms before... alternate track then!
