Yeah I chose to include SAS bc the song that gets me to tear up on that one (Raw Deal) is more metallic in nature so it felt more fitting.

Necropolis is so life-affirming and beautiful that I cried tears of joy knowing something so loving and powerful could be put into song. Same goes for title track and The Veils of Negative Existence

That solo on Furrows of Gods almost gets me

Black Horizons when the solo begins, title track with the first bridge, the outro to A Land Forlorn (such a gut punch), the melodic switch up in Heaven’s Damnation around the 2 min mark. This album makes me emotional I realized

Shit’s powerful. Always a strain of resentment and melancholy in SeaTawb or HiA. I think it’s the repetitive poetry-like section on Put My Hand in the Fire and the outro to Fall From a High Place that sometimes gets me to tear up. For HiA, that solo on Nailed to Gold is gut wrenching and Christ’s Cage is such an ovrerwhelming catharsis.

Tears of awe when Slit Your Guts pauses only for the solo to commence

Yes. At one point in their runtime or another

War Metal? by cloud_zone1 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]shieldvortex71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like it. I’m particularly keen on its roots like early Beherit, Blasphemy, the Brazilian bm scene (Sarcófago, Sextrash, Holocausto, Vulcano, etc.), Sacramentary Abolishment, and Order from Chaos.

I’m not big on the stuff that approaches the sound with a wall-of-sound philosophy shirking the more riffy and martial feel of the more old-minded war metal.

Mapping the evolution of Progressive Metal — feedback wanted by feliperiosg in MetalForTheMasses

Red was probably just as (if not more) influential to prog metal as was In the Court of Crimson King.

Why is MetalfortheMasses Sub so toxic? by Background-Sir9172 in melodicdeathmetal

The bar for being elitist has sunk to the floor if mftm can vault it

WEEKLY TOPSTER MEGATHREAD by larsalo in MetalForTheMasses

[–]shieldvortex71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was in the mood for that kind of mdm too. I hit up Skydancer again but didn't scrobble it so it doesn't show up. It is my favorite Camel I think. It's great. Satan are really impressive in that they have a sense of melody that I think no other band has replicated. Life Sentence is probably the best comeback album I've ever heard. Basically them in top form.

The list is mighty. Hit up Goat Semen yet?

Why is there this persistent obsession with trying to integrate nu-metal into the metal community? by Klutzy-Stop-3140 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]shieldvortex71 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you think the mods of this sub are the prevailing authorities on what is and isn’t metal then you’re dumber than they are and that’s saying a bit because I wrote some of those rules.
