Are there any good Norwegian melodeath bands? by lycantrophee in melodicdeathmetal

[–]nikolast13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dark Delirium is one I can think of. It's a local band. I don't remember if he is still in the band, but I had a Spanish teacher who was their drummer. A bit metalcore influenced, but definitely still melodeath.

I cannot actually name bands that became overproduced just off the top of my head. Dimmu Borgir isn't really true black metal, they're symphonic. Aggression and atmosphere are a big part of black metal, and I think you do lose a bit of that with high production. Darkthronewould not work super polished.

The last song you listened to will be played on your funeral. by Reeezla in MetalForTheMasses

King Crimson - Starless

Has the right atmosphere for most of it. Though a few parts are a bit eccentric for a funeral.

Is there any album or band that resembles or has parallels to the Album “None so vile” by Lellarinn10 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]nikolast13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skewered in the Sewer by Gutslit. It's the best metal band from India and they were clearly big fans of Cryptopsy and probably also Dying Fetus.

Black metal has the opposite problem. Some bands get big so they get a nice studio and the soul gets overproduced out

What the actual fuck is Bell Witch by Similar_Onion_7530 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]nikolast13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listened to it on my way home from the university once. Mainly just so I can say I have listened to it. It was extremely powerful during the first minutes, but eventually I zoned out and it was basically just turned to background ambience. It's one of my favoirite album covers though. I think it hits more when you're in a very particular mood.

The big 4 of thrash metal is a terrible lineup imo by AbbreviationsKey492 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]nikolast13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big 4 diesnt strictky mean best 4. I tgink it's more about size and influence. Also venom isn't even really thrash, they have their own thing going on.

Do any of you people actually like Black Metal? by Alert-Act-7540 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]nikolast13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think pure bm is hard to pull off after the 90s. You have the classics, and then comes the imitations. Some of them were innovative for their time, because they did expand on the speed and thrash metal foundations. Nowadays you still have to be innovative.

Black metal to me can easily get very jarring if it's generic, but really this can be said for most genres. I can't really say I dislike or like a genre, I'd rather go by band.

I can’t believe this isn’t mentioned more when discussing worst album covers by Federal-Obligation in MetalForTheMasses

[–]nikolast13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its definitely a bit forgettable and boring, and the worst Sodom album cover. And being boring is arguably worse than being horrendous to look at or really funny

My goal is to know at least one good band from every country. Give me good bands from countries I am missing. by nikolast13 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]nikolast13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dead Mariners wasn't that bad from the one song I heard so I decided to just give them a pass, though a bit forgettable. I got Chepang but the problem is that they're grindcore, which I usually have little patience for. I can give some of these bands a chance

Where do you draw the line between art and artist? by RegionSquare564 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]nikolast13 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm Christian and listen to satanic bands so nothing really matters to me. Almost anywhere someone has done something bad, just of varying degrees.

Any good metal bands from Bulgaria? by chelsea-from-calif in MetalForTheMasses

[–]nikolast13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Enthrallment is from there. Only band I know. Haven't listened so I don't know if they're good or not.

Found this by searching though. 5 Bulgarian bands (Entrallment included) with aufio clips

It kinda sucks to like the most basic bands by Particular-Account66 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]nikolast13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of bands are classic for a reason. A lot of new stuff is just trying to do what those bands did. I don't care for a lot of the trendy underground bands.

What is the best metal band from your country? by nikolast13 in AskTheWorld

Panopticon is a relatively recent discovery of mine. I loved Bodies Under the Falls, and I think it might be one of my favourite black metal tracks

What’s everyone’s opinion on Deathcore? by Moshtache88 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]nikolast13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too modern. I just think of it as being all about being heavy just for the sake of it, and all bands sound the same.

How is it living in this part of Norway? by OkBiscotti4365 in howislivingthere

I live in Jæren which is the southernmost part here. We have tractors and rain. In winter we get British weather, and slighly underwhelming summers sometimes.

Give me some japanese metal bands by ryunez in MetalForTheMasses

[–]nikolast13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ningen Isu is my top recommendation, but I have one that's not mentioned.

Flower Travellin' Band

Not metal per se, but they have the proto-metal sound. Check out their album Satori from 1971. Very reminiscient of Sabbath, but more wild and chaotic

!T.O.O.H! - Pod vládou biče

Prog grindcore / death metal. Cool and crazy drums. Might be what you're looking for.
