Hardrock/Heavy metal

Hm, i guess it's what i suspected on heavy metal, not many new bands.

I suppose power metal is the closest, but i'm not a big fan of it.

 

I listen to death, thrash, black etc etc also, but in those genres a new band seems to pop up every 5th second.

J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff movies

Je trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vie

Je ne me reconnais plus dans les gens

Je suis juste un cas désespérant

Et comme personne ne viendra me réclamer

Je terminerai comme un objet retrouvé

Does anyone listen to The Sword? I recommend them, they sound sabbath-like, but I think they rock.

I am loving Blind Guardian at the moment, I saw them last year and it was awesome.

Black Label Society anyone? I dont know whether to bother.

 

For harsh(ish?) vocals I would recommend Skyfire, personally my favourite melo-death metal band, specifically their Spectral album.

Avantasia, only just discovered them. I love 'em. Different singers, great guitars and the songs are just downright awesome. If you like that, listen to The Scarecrow by Avantasia. Long song but by God is it good.

I'm not a very big Demons & Wizards fan. I really like Iced Earth and Blind Guardian but the two of them put together is so bland and uninspiring.

 

Anyone listen to Adagio here? I recently decided to give Archangels in Black a listen, and I was blown away by it.

Metal can never really be what it used to be like in the late 80's and early 90's. I'm not too much into the newer meal scene. Old 80's metal, and early 90's black metal is pretty much all I get into.

 

 

There is a few bands out there trying to bring back that oldschool sound, kinda like these guys, more of the NWOBH stuff..... but all genres of old metal are still around if you look.

Though there's soo many unheard of killer 80's metal bands out there, and thanks to sites like youtube, everyday you can sit and find [cabbage] from back then that you've never heard before, so its like finding new bands anyways, eliminating the need to get into any of the new stuff.

Yea some of the early stuff, I was never overly crazy about them though. The newer stuff is just kinda strange, same with Behemoth, how they started black and crossed over into death and modern stuff. Just like anyone else though, certain bands just grab your ear, and what some people say is great, you may not like, vice versa. I try to stay away from all the wannabe elitist crap that has been going around in the metal scene. Everyone trying to prove how metal they are, or only listening to bands so stupid that there's a reason no one's ever heard of them before. lol I got lucky and had uncles that really got into metal and had huge record collections and was able to get exposed to a lot of stuff when I was a kid. I just recently got a USB turntable, so I'm going to work on ripping a lot of these old vinyls and putting them online, I just need to learn how to adjust all the audio levels and such with the programs to make em sound decent.

 

If I had to make a quick list of my fav bands off the top of my head, probably would be like, Bathory, Celtic Frost, Venom, Burzum, Slayer, Satan, Rigor Mortis, Darkthrone, Sodom, Death, Hellhammer...then the rest of those second wave bands like emperor, marduk, immortal, satyricon, Dawn, lord belial...and others.

 

Black metal wise, the most recent album I got that I actually really liked was the new Gorgoroth, because they finally kicked those dummies out of the band who tried to take over, and got more of the original members back. I'm hoping the new Burzum album next month is gonna be good. not going to get my hopes up too high though, all those years in prison talking about how he was going to break away from the metal scene...I may end up disappointed, then again someone cut away from regular music for that long might just make something truly good without the influences of all this modern crap. Was terribly disappointed in the new Immortal album. Such a piece of [cabbage] (in my opinion), from such a legendary band.

 

 

 

 

Here's a couple nice old heavy metal vinyl rips I found off youtube......

KISS sounds more clssic metal [which is what OP was looking for]

Iced Earth had better instrument quality

KISS had better vocals imo.

 

KISS wins for me.

yeah, I consider arena rock, glam, glam rock and all that to be "classic metal". Lets face it, Alice Cooper wasn't the most ahrdcore guy, but he sure as anyhting inspired others to be [same to be said for Ozzy, and many other early metal rock bands]
