Since we have some My Dying Bride fans here:



Doom so heavy it generates gravity:



I love it when black metal bands defy expectation (plus Satyr is damn good looking:



Satyricon at their heaviest:



Symphonic Black Metal at its most epic:

[Miss_Bungle1991]

The first two videos RULE!

Cradle of Filth at their filthiest and with one of my favourite riffs ever:



Cradle of Filth at their most vicious:

[Miss_Bungle1991]

Not a Cradle Of Filth fan (or fan most Black Metal, in general). The only Black Metal band that I own any CD's by is Dissection. Some of the tracks on the "Tribute To Euronymous" compilation are okay too.

The most relentless black metal band:



The most relentless death metal I've heard in ages:



Raw black metal:

Behemoth at their most majestic:

My passion: D beat blackened thrash:

Nefilim, the one off metal project of the beautiful Carl McCoy of Fields of the Nephilim:

Wynternight I really liked that Vampire song. I love 80s thrash like Slayer and Sodom and it reminds me of that stuff.  I've always loved a lot of the nwobhm bands like Motorhead, Holocaust, Grim Reaper and Satan as well.

I grew up in Minneapolis in the 90s, which was the peak of Profane Existence so my outlook on life was heavily influenced by a lot of those bands (read bleak). Amebix was a big one for me (they were older of course) along with MPLS bands Destroy/Code 13 and State of Fear. Detestation was a fav as well. I just thought their singer, Saira, was the coolest. The soud quality is terrible here but it gives you an idea of what their shows were like!

[Wynternight]

Yes!!! Love Detestation! One of the best grind bands ever. We share a similar background.

[Miss_Bungle1991]

Disrupt. One of the best bands from the Boston scene.

Definitely! Unrest remains a classic.

Swedish grind:

Classic UK grind:

Definitely! Unrest remains a classic.

Actually, that track was on the split with Sauna.

I saw those Electro Hippies posts up there. Right on!

[PrinzessinChop]

Did Epica and Nightwish already get mentioned ?   , i know i am bothering ppl on chat with them xD

Oh I know. I was just saying the album is a classic in the field. Anyone who's a grind fan needs to have Unrest in their collection or they'll ask, "Am I punk yet?!"

Indeed it is. I remember when "Unrest" and "The Rest" were being released in their remastered form, some of the people commenting on this one article (don't remember what site it was) were like: "Who the hell is that? The word 'classic' gets thrown around too much these days". It was pathetic. Even though I had an old mix tape of all of the 7"'s and I had "Unrest" on cassette. I bought them anyway. They blew away the sound quality on the tapes by an easy mile. One thing that was weird, though, was that the live "Smash Divisions" 7" isn't on there. And BOOOOO to Relapse for only pressing 500 copies of the DVD with all of those killer live shows.

It's the rawness and lack of production that gives them the edge they had. Over produced crap lacks the visceral impact of something that sounds like it was recorded live in a garage.

Saw Slipknot in Manchester on Tuesday with Korn sorta sub-headlining and King 810 opening.

I'll just say wow. King 810 are better live, Korn and Slipknot are just Korn and Slipknot. Here's a bit of awesome :

[Wynternight]

We need more metal!!! \m/
