) and As I Lay Dying.

Looking for some more melodic type with lyrics that I can understand. Not a fan of grindcore pig squeals and noises like that.

BNR woo woo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys. Still in the process of discovery. Anton, what's your favorite subgenre? And could you recommend a couple bands of said genre? Same question to you, ninjallama, if you have a second.

 

[ninjallamafromhell]

I'm not a genre guy, but metalcore, technical metal, and death metal in no particular order.

 

[ninjallamafromhell]

 

[ninjallamafromhell]

Are you here?

-Necrophagist
-Nile
-Decapitated
-Psycroptic
-Suffocation 
-The Faceless
-Death
-Origin
-Brain drill

Planetary Duality is such a bad !@! album!

 

[ninjallamafromhell]

Also does anyone listen to Cynic, Intronaut, and/or Dysrythmia?  They're going to be in Portland this weekend the day before Otep and The Agonist.

 

[antonlavey]

XENOCHRIST!!!!! That song is serious business.

Ninja I love Cynic, peep the previous page.

 

[ninjallamafromhell]

Haha, wow my memory sucks.  I listened to both songs you posted

Might have to talk to my buddy, see if I can crash at his place, and see Cynic and Otep

[ninjallamafromhell]

Eh, music is one of the few things I have left that I enjoy.

[ninjallamafromhell]

I don't know if any of you guys have listened to Aeon, but they just dropped a new album

From the Bleeding the False Album (2005)

Obviously from Rise to Dominate (2007)



From the new album

 

[bcf06]

Damn Ninja thanks for that. I had completely forgotten that they were releasing a new one. I will jam out to right now.

The Swedes are killing the Death metal game.

In June, Aeon released a music video for "Forgiveness Denied" and Dlimi commented on the theme of the song and video: "There have been a lot of scandals revealed lately, regarding priests (especially catholic ones) who have been abusing children sexually. In my world, there is nothing more innocent than a child, and the ones who abuse a child sexually will never be forgiven. In my opinion, they deserve to die a horrible, painful death. We want to dedicate this song/video to them, the filthy %%+%%@% priests who have laid a hand on a child sexually; we hate you, and want you dead."[sup][13][/sup]
