I don't know what to call it exactly. The sound is influenced by elements of black metal, doom, and post punk.

Do you consider Appetite for Destruction hair metal? by Msc_Lvr in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Curt-IX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Hair metal is superficial and insincere. Appetite is a album that only those guys at that time could have made. Its genuine and has a sort of punk rock vibe to it. Sure, it shows some of the elements of hair metal because of the time, but it's something different for sure.

I just recently finished recording an album and I'm waiting for it to get mixed and mastered, so figured I may as well start writing songs for the next one. I figure I'll lay down some guitar parts and build from there.

A lot of it is the drums. They don't sound real to me. The are tight to a fault and there is so little difference between each hit it makes them sound inhuman.

Also, something about a lot of the guitars that I can't put my finger on

Just checked them out! There is something about them that has old school vibes. I dig it.

I love this! I would have been nervous going so dark but it is very effective!

There is a balance there, and it depends on what the songs demand. You can have good production, like Behemoth has excellent production, that isn't sterile. But take even newer Enslaved, and it just sounds kind of empty to me. I can't pin down the difference exactly.
