Out of curiousity, are there any metalheads here on the eoff forums?
ehh, I think I may be a very slight metal head ^_^
Namely, anybody on here that listens to black metal, death metal, or doom metal?
The bands that have been in very heavy rotation for me lately have been Inquisition, diSEMBOWELMENT, Sargeist, Taake, Immolation, Thergothon, and Windir.
I like this:
\/\/\extreme blackness/\/\/
I like Rammstein, but that's about it.
My favourite Metal bands are Enslaved, Moonsorrow, Lykathea Aflame, Nile, Hollenthon, Boris, Sigh and the old Ulver BM albums are awesome as well. But I haven't been in the mood for metal for a while really so I haven't been keeping up with any new bands or albums.
Nice taste. I've seen both Enslaved and Nile live, they were great. Boris, I've never listened to, but I've heard they're more experimental/noise than metal.Quote:

I used to like Between the Buried and Me and some other metalcore-ish bands, but now I could care less.
Ex-pseudo-metalhead here.
Ah. I doubt I'd like it, I'm not too big on stoner rock/stoner doom. When it comes down to doom I usually listen to its more extreme forms (i.e. death/doom, funeral doom, etc.)
i like dimmu borgir a lot!!!!! :hyper: stian is sexy
Dimmu Borgir are alright, I haven't listened to them in ages. If you dig them though, you should really check out a band called Limbonic Art. Similar style (symphonic black metal), but so much better.Quote:

I like Rammstein and Arch Enemy and Rasputina.
(SPOILER)And KoRn, shamefully.
Same here :PQuote:

...but nothing...NOTHING will EVER EVER be worse than their Limp Bizket phase. Oh god. I wanted to die. At one point my mom my dad and my brother were all playing three different Limp Bizkit (I can't remember how it was spelled) songs on different systems >.<
Yeah, I'm a metalhead. :p
Some of my favourites would are In Flames, 8 Foot Sativa, Wintersun, Agalloch, Arch Enemy, Old Man's Child, Sonata Arctica and Protest the Hero. I pretty much like all kinds of metal but I'm very partial to Gothenburg, melodic and symphonic death.
All That Remains Plain and simple really
The Chariot, (old) Poison The Well, BTBAM, Converge, which i guess all of these are more metalcore than anything but regardless.
mike has tossed me some metal now and again, but the links are never valid :(
Definite metalhead here. Burzum, Meshuggah, Sigh, Boris, Agalloch, mauldin of the Well, Electric Wizard, Drudkh, Enslaved, Lykathea Aflame, the works. Love the stuff. \m/
BURZUM + DRUDKH. Filosofem and Forgotten Legends (respectively) are great albums. \m/Quote:

You have my sympathy. :cry: I probably would've went on a murderous rampage or a complete mental breakdown if I ever had to go through that.
I can hook you up.Quote:

I heard somebody mention Rammstein! Who said Rammstein?!?!?!
If you like R+, you may also want to check out Eisbrecher if you haven't already.
Also, Richard Kruspe (founder and guitarist of R+) got bored and formed the band Emigrate as a side project. And, Alexx Wesselsky and Noel Pix of Eisbrecher were originally in Megaherz, but split from the band to form their own band. I listen to all four of those bands on a regular basis... plus Apocalyptica... and sometimes Beethoven.
My links are valid, Scotty. :mad2:
I started listening to black metal sometime last year, in the most untr00 way possible, but hey, I love Cradle of Filth's older stuff, I don't care if they're not incredibly kvlt. Anyway, after discovering real black metal stuff like Mayhem and Emperor, I haven't been able to stay away from extreme metal in general. I was also kinda new to guitar so all this challenging and technical music that kicked ass in general was really awesome to me.
Of course, I've gone full circle and started listening to mathcore on the side, but I'll still not be tiring of black metal and death metal anytime soon.
WINTERSUN?! I love you.Quote:

It's all I would listen to for the past four years, but recently I've been giving other genres of music a chance. I still listen to it more than anything else though.
I really only listen to Power Metal, though there are a few other metal songs out there I can dig.
Favorite band right now is Kamelot.
I listen to a lot of metal. Devildriver, Sonata Arctica, Norther, CoB, Wintersun, CoF, Opeth, you name it, I've probably got it. Melodic and Symphonic metal are easily my faves though.
I've been classed as one for thinking it's okay for a band to have three guitars in it, mainly because of all the Guilty Gear soundtracks and Iron Maiden I listen to.
So I guess I am one, yeah. I'm learning bass with the sole intention of joining a metal band and breaking the mould of "pedalling the same note over and over" that so many of them seem to embrace. I realise they're not all like that but still...
You clearlly haven't listened to anything decent then.
Well everyone seems to think that's a bassist's role in a metal band. In Maiden that sure as hell ain't the case, but still...Quote:

(yes, i do realise they are all very different metal catagories xD)
Listen to Cannibal Corpse. The bassist, Alex Webster, is amazing.Quote:

so I get a little tired of it
All of those things sound incredibly horrible and not like any good metal at all.Quote:

I'm not really a metalhead, but many of my friends are and so I get to listen to some metal through them. I don't mind metal at all, in fact I think some of it's really good. Also, I go to Roskilde Festival every year and there's always some metal bands playing there, and so if I have the time some of my metalhead friends are likely to convince me to go see a concert with them. I'm open when it comes to music.
Metal music I like (meaning, I might go buy a record of theirs one day) includes:
Rammstein, Metallica, Iron Maiden etc.
Other than that I've seen bands like In Flames, Zyklon, Killswitch Engage, Deftones, Opeth, Judas Priest and such live, and I generally enjoyed it.
Sounds to me like you have a metalcore infestation. Treat as hostile at all times.Quote:
