Misc You Guys Like Metal?

[Chip Skylark]

Soundgarden? That was the first Chris I could think of.

Badmotorfinger is on my to-listen-to list.

Yes sir!

That’s a perfect album man!

My brother also had a black rockband he managed but I don't wanna post it without exposing myself. Lead singer passed away.

 

[Adeptus Astartes]

Randomly popped into my Spotify.

Gad. Damn. This is some of the heaviest shyt I've ever heard. Reminds me of Mick Gordon's Doom soundtracks, but with a vocalist. The mix is immaculate.

I bought myself an interface shortly before the first lockdown so I could use my laptop for amp simulation (for my bass primarily) but I still haven't used it yet

Much of what I listen to has too many strings anyway

oh, I was going to post some things because it was Eurovision

okay so back to Sweden

I have deeply enjoyed Vildhjarta since the Omnislash days. I actually haven't listened to their most recent full album, Måsstaden under vatten, in its entirety, but their more recent work has been idk what word to use. More disjointed than before but still

(and I think they may be one of the reasons why the cool kids use whammy pedals now)

Spoiler

Also just found out:

Since 2025, no original members remain in the band, with the longest-running member being Calle Thomér since joining in 2009.

I never really got into the related band Humanity's Last Breath mainly because of the drums IIRC, but this guy's covers are straight

downpicking gawd

Now

I came across this during lockdown and it had me , I still come back to it from time to time. Took them 5 years to record and... I get it lol. Reminds me of the Negativa EP. I found a remastered version in the Internet Archive but I haven't listened to it yet. Also a new album (buried in my Watch Later list )!



Also, Nero di Marte.

I started with their second album Derivae, but when I heard the first single from their third one, I knew I had to get it.



That album takes you places. And the title track

In this live video they play the second and first songs from the album, and it actually makes a lot of sense in this order.

Dope shyt, breh.

Second half kind of reminds me of Blotted Science.

 

[Captain Crunch]

Just stumbled on this band, listened to a few tracks, and it’s been a pleasant surprise. They’re basically the Gen z version of Lincoln Park/Korn.

 

[Frantz Fanon]

Been listening to metal since the early 2000s. Not really into the hyper technical, proggy, guitar wankery category of stuff at all though, like a lot of what was posted here. To me most of those bands lack in the "sounding like a band" and making cohesive music department.

New Teitanblood is the best extreme metal album of the year so far to me. Straight roughness and toughness lol

 

[Redwood]

Not really into the death metal aspect, but I do enjoy alternative metal

Deftones held me down for a couple of years

 

[Heimdall]

Dope shyt, breh.

Second half kind of reminds me of Blotted Science.

yoooo I love this album, one I come back to pretty frequently

their second album is almost too much but this one is just right

IIRC the bassist plays entirely with his fingers which must have been pretty difficult on songs like Amnesia

I've also been listening to Catch Thirtythree a lot recently. I was aware of the three note motif woven through the album, but it's like the rhythms get more complex as you get towards the end.
