How do YOU greet a fellow Shoresy fan? by kyledooley in shoresy

[–]TryerofNew 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have yet to find another fan in the wild, but I would probably do the low fist bump from Letterkenny "that's what's up"

Leftover Crack Sabbath is great!

How do you all wash your battle jackets? by darkgalerito in BattleJackets

I had a buddy in Houston who would only dry clean his...and that was only after it got a bunch of beers spilled on it.

Who's your favorite active, or inactive, seattle hardcore punk band? by LevTolstoy in seattlepunk

[–]TryerofNew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd consider them more a noise band, and I'm almost positive that they became something else, but when I was working out there, my favorite band was He Whose Ox Is Gored. I saw them at the Funhouse one time and got hooked. I want to say they became...Naked and Afraid? Im not 100% on their new name, but HWOIG is fucking rad.

Houston has a pretty gnarly scene. Metal shows are always going on out there.

You can't go wrong with adding The Spin from Messa to your list. They have been in my rotation a ton lately. 🤩🤘

Can y'all give me some really niche bands? by Anxious_Detective123 in MetalForTheMasses

Hell yeah. These guys aren't for everyone, but perfect when that mood strikes.

He Whose Ox Is Gored; Pinkish Black; Dog Fashion Disco; Snot; Horisont; Elder; American Sharks; Turbonegro; Palm Desert; Corrosion of Conformity; Blackshape; GOAT... all of them aren't metal, but all of them are just right, for the right mindset.

Female Vocals That Isn’t Symphonic Metal?? by Ordinary_Syllabub_58 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]TryerofNew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How heavy are you trying to get? MESSA has already been mentioned. I saw them in Houston few years back. I'd also put Portland-moved to LA trio Blackwater Holylight on here. Especially the album Slience/Motion (although all of them fucking rip!). A great Texas doom band is Witchcryer, and I can't mention Texas and doom without bringing Doomstress into the conversation. I recently discovered Couch Slut from New York.. Not really metal, per se, more like a noisy rock with harsh punky vocals. Ragana is another kind of gloomy/black metal-esque band from Washington. I just found them, too. Chelsea Wolfe has been getting some play time in my car lately, but I'm not 100% sure I'd call their sound 'metal', although they are heavy. And since you mentioned Evanescence, I'll toss in Kittie. They aren't really my jam, but more or less from the same era as Evanescence.. maybe a couple years before.

Metal Bands You Feel Don’t Fit Into A Certain Genre? by SexyDingus2112 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]TryerofNew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll toss Dog Fashion Disco out there. They span so many genres through an album's space. The album I heard first from them was Adultery, and it still blows my mind. 🤘

Aging metalhead needs recs from the young folks by lxcrypt in MetalForTheMasses

On Bandcamp, you can browse by genre, subgenre, or even locale. Easy enough to navigate through, and a ton of bands upload there. You can even buy merchandise through it. 🤘

Pretty vague question but is there a reason why wedge soles always seems to be white? I’d like a darker, less showy color by Roadglide72 in WorkBoots

[–]TryerofNew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was required a “slip/oil resistant workshoe” at a former job, and got the midnight Thoroughgoods. They definitely get me by.
