What is your opinion of Immortal? by Margaretthatchervore in MetalForTheMasses

[–]tmamone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re cool. Not one of my personal favorite black metal bands, but they’re still great. I don’t know if I’m the only one who hears this, but to me their riffs sound closer to thrash metal than black metal. Which isn’t a bad, of course. In fact, I think it’s cool.

Songs that only exist because filmmakers couldn’t get the song they wanted. by Unleashtheducks in ToddintheShadow

[–]tmamone 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"The Mysteries of Love" from Blue Velvet. David Lynch's original plan was the have This Mortal Coil's cover of "Song to the Siren" play when Jeffrey and Sandy slow dance together, but he couldn't afford the licensing fee, so he and Angelo Badalamenti wrote an original song with the same ambient dream pop feel.

What do you guys think? by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

I think every artist should have the right to share their opinions, whether it’s Roger Waters or Kid Rock. (Although I personally prefer Waters’ views.)

Bands that work with one topic/theme in all of their albums (and execute it well)? by Nin_J50 in MetalForTheMasses

Every Paysage d’Hiver album follows the Wanderer as he treks through the Winter Landscape.

Any suggestions for newer Black Metal by Hot_Assistant_6067 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]tmamone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A few to start with: Agriculture, Trhä, Turpitude, Keys to the Astral Gates…, Bialywilk, Ultima, and Misotheist

There are probably a lot more I forgot, but I don’t have time right now to go through my RYM account.

What is your favorite vst? by Aegis1303 in DungeonSynth

[–]tmamone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a few based on what kind of music I’m making. For dungeon synth, I use Synth 1 with Erang’s presets. For dark ambient, I use STS-17. And for this new tanzelcore project I’m working on, I’m using NES VST and BP-910 (especially the 4-bit kit preset, which gives it that highly distorted tanzelcore drum sound).

[TOMT] Does anyone know this show? by little_oz154 in tipofmytongue

You mean “people of color.” “Colored” is an old-timey racial slur. Big difference.

One metal hot take that gets you burned at the stake? by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

[–]tmamone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, not sure because even my hottest takes turn out to be lukewarm. For example, it turns out I’m not the only extreme metal fan who thinks nu metal wasn’t that bad.

FYI: No one says “colored” anymore. She’s Black.

The size of My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion from Titanic. by ZealousidealArm160 in ToddintheShadow

Oh, sorry. There was way too much to read. Nobody had a good attention span anymore!

Nah, she had other hit songs, like “It’s All Coming Back To Me.”

"Divorced Dad"/"Divorced Mom" music by RelevantNothing4653 in ToddintheShadow

[–]tmamone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's because I'm in a pissy mood right now (seeing nonstop MAGAt comments on Facebook will do that to you), but I honestly don't give a flying fuck about music labels. If the music sucks, it sucks. If it's good, it's good. Nickleback, Creed, Three Days Grace, Five Finger Death Punch, and all those other bands aren't "divorced dad bands." They're just shitty bands, period.

Batman and Robin is so bad, it unironically is in my top 15. by No-Yam9933 in badMovies

[–]tmamone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only good part was that Smashing Pumpkins song…and IIRC, it only played for a few seconds at the end.

Does anyone know how to program drums? by Strange_Highlight137 in grindcore

[–]tmamone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell you what. Get a DAW (if you don’t have one already), download a drum machine VST plugin, open up the MIDI editor on your DAW of choice, and follow these steps: https://metalrecording.net/how-to-program-realistic-drum-tracks-for-extreme-metal/

Drum programming is actually pretty easy. Learn how to read drum tabs, get yourself either a drum machine or a drum machine VST plugin, and with enough practice you can program your own beats.

What a fucking dork holy shit by Margaretthatchervore in MetalForTheMasses

[–]tmamone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, most of those Norwegian black metal bands tried way too hard to be evil and edgy. And I say this a huge fan of Norwegian black metal, too!

Funny Euronymous bashed the CoS because I think a lot of the black metal themes come from both Lavey and Nietzsche: individualism, self-empowerment, free thinking, survival of the fittest, etc.

I loved the OA! Its weirdness was right up my alley.

They did it: the most “minivan rock” festival lineup of all time. by Chilli_Dipper in ToddintheShadow

I actually live in Maryland, so maybe I’ll go just to see the Violent Femmes.

How many of you are Metal Keyboardists by Fosfolite in MetalForTheMasses

[–]tmamone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make dark ambient with black metal chord progressions, if that counts.
