metal that takes you on an epic journey

i really like how mastodon has continuously expanded their musical horizons with "really deep" concept albums/cd's and stayed successful and popular....soon we'll hear sell out? i disagree totally,what's a band suppose to do,not make money? not find success? as soon as a band get's high up in the charts and starts to sell really well people cry sell out...i think thats BS...or jealousy

I don't think that will be the case with mastodon. I mean yeah they mellowed out but I still enjoy them and think their work is great.

Take opeths new album. Completely different than anything they have ever done. Extremely mellow. I absolutely love it. Its a real unique sound.

Check it out.

Take some philopon, play this and crash a plane into a ship while yelling BANZAI!!!


song takes about 30 seconds to start so skip ahead.

Decoryah is a band you guys might enjoy if it hasnt been posted yet. They are an older band from Finland i think and have already broken up. I have the Album "Fall-Dark Waters" and its awesome. They have i think two other albums but i cannot recall, if any of you get a chance look up "Intra-Mental Extasy" on youtube, its a really good one too but not heavy like some of the others.
Im gonna blast that one during the ending of the world.

This one is #3 of the album mentioned and my favorite.
youtu.be...

The rest is on YouTube. I didn't want to clog up the thread as I cannot find the full version. But this is the first one that comes to mind that has not been posted yet.

Had this on Cassette when I was like 8 or 9

Epic-ness

80's metal did'nt get anymore powerful or intense as these three songs >

"see you in hell"- grim reaper > www.youtube.com...

"balls to the wall"- accept > www.youtube.com...

"number of the beast"- iron maiden > www.youtube.com...

The whole album is about life outside of Earth, and it's groovy as hell.

Love that song

1969

Killer stuff

When i think of intense 80's metal

Nice I love seeing you post on the music board Plugged.


I've gotta stop listening to these insane drummers. I remember reading an interview with Proscriptor where he was like "yeah I just take stuff Neil Peart or Bill Bruford do and speed it up." He said it so casually the gifted bastid.


F&*% you Flo. *slits wrists*

If you guys really love your metal I suggest listening to Ian Christie on siriusxm It's channel 40 Liquid metal

He has a weekly show called Bloody roots which explores the many different genres and histories. I listen every week. Always finding new bands and such.

He also has a publishing company that publishes books on metal or by musicians. Check it outBazillion points

The best way to learn about metal by far....

www.metal-archives.com

Find a band you like and check out what other bands a member has been in. This includes the current lineup and all past members.

Ive been there as well.

I love metal. Everything about it. The music, the culture the primal feelings it stirs up within me.

It sucks however because in my community there are no fans of metal. Not any that I know of anyways.

Still play it loud and proud everywhere I go though. Wear metal t-shirts to my kids school and soccer games.

Its who I am

Haha, thanks guy. I used to be able to say the same to you, but while listening to Cryptopsy at the1:50 mark, my head exploded. S**t got heavy and now I have a mess to clean up. Thanks

More great stuff

It might not be up anymore but does anyone remember that site that tracked metal bands by country? It wasn't as detailed as metal archives but it was neat to hop on and just find a metal band from South Korea or something.
