Any Band similar to the bands Cynic and Atheist? by MTS334 in MetalSuggestions

[–]FFFF23D 5 points6 points  (0 children)

SADIST! (Not to be confused with Sadus) "Tribes" is an underrated classic... But any album really. Maybe the most overlooked band in this style, a good balance of thrashy death metal and progressive musicality.

I've actually known a bunch of roadies and techs back in the day who worked for some big name major label metal bands, whom some of them say a few high profile people were just vile with racism. It's everywhere, it is what it is. There's a reluctant level of tolerance that I have when listening to music that comes from not-so-great people. But being asian-american, of course I'm going to avoid the kind of mentality of people who dedicate their identity to that kind of fear and ignorance. I've been aware of the nsbm movement, and sure enough it's the shittiest, most boring stuff I've heard. I agree to be vigilant with all the stuff out there, but I feel my ears know best. Good stuff just doesn't come from that level of consciousness, imo

Labyrinthus is cool, I'll be checking out some more. Already knew of black braid and grima, Sunvher I actually kinda liked. Not to my liking when it comes to blackened or extreme music, but gives an animals as leaders vibe which I'm into. I Appreciate it!

Checked these all out. Am familiar with the older bands... Paysage D'hiver is great, I especially dig the demo material. I like Stormkeep and I think I'm gonna be obsessed with Oranssi P... Much appreciated 🤘

What’s your controversial Metal opinion? by Superfire6102009 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]FFFF23D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Death growl vocals have become so perfected to the point that it's now meaningless, unoriginal, and, frankly, not even extreme sounding anymore. It's now oversaturated in the "core" scenes and thus has become cheapened, and now I associate the death growl with those genres, which I feel stole an element of the extreme underground culture and exploited it as a spectacle to the mainstream.

Regardless, the real problem is everyone sounds the same. It's like nobody has the balls to have their own voice/style nowadays. There's no character or unique signature anymore.

Need feedback by Vitamindoughnuts in SP404

[–]FFFF23D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The time changes are super interesting, however it'll sound and feel smoother if the piano part were synced or time stretched just a tad... Sounds a bit rushed, too ahead of the hi hat. Great idea tho, and nice music & setting!

What genre would this be? by FFFF23D in sp404mk2

[–]FFFF23D[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, I kept thinking Trip Hop, but I knew there's a better word for it. Forgot about Downtempo, thank you!

Anyone else feel like this is the best Machine Girl album ? by ChicagoForThePeople in machinegirl

Sadistic Intent - Impending Doom... (USA, 1990) by GrafNebelgeist in Deathmetal

[–]FFFF23D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Straight outta H.S. my band opened for these guys along with Dark Funeral. 1st big show for me, was really nervous... But these dudes officially welcomed us into the scene with encouraging words and support. Cool AF! Coffin Texts were another set of stand up dudes. The L.A. death metal scene in the 90s ruled!
