ImmortallyInsane Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 what do u guys think of rammstein<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Rammstein isn't death metal. BUT! I kinda dug their tunes...I bought a CD and...well, it was never played much. Just wasn't really my style of music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeTalHeD Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 Rammstein are industrial. They're a very good industrial band, but the best industrial I've heard probably domes from a band called Strapping Young Lad. God, Devin Townsend has an amazing vocal range!SYL also mix in a bit of grind and thrash, so they're brutal at times.Oh, and DEP is math metal. I haven't heard them before, but I heard my friends calling them math metal. They're also known for their abilities in Grindcore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmortallyInsane Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 That's what really gets me now...everything is classified. I remember when the only styles of metal were speed, thrash, death, black, and grindcore. Now this genre has nu-metal, which honestly to me isn't metal. And math metal. I remember a time when it wasn't called that, it was just known as metal. Hell, some Mayhem songs could be classified as math metal. But that's just my two pennies. *shrugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeTalHeD Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 True, but the genres are there to describe what it sounds like. I mean, people would consider grind to be pure noise, when it's carefully coordinated. Noisecore is actually a music style though.And nu-metal isn't so much of a problem as the incentive for starting a band is. A pop band will sell millions if they continue on the typical "we're trying to be harcore with soft music" style they do. You don't need much skill to start a punk band, for example, and the irony is that you'll sell big time.I like bands like Korn and SlipKnoT. Korn's my favourite nu-metal band and Bloodbath is my favourite Death Metal band. Just because a band is soft doesn't mean they're not skilled. However, I do agree that Linkin Park should be reclassified as rock. They're not metal at all...perhaps a few tracks are, but overall, they're nowhere near the heaviness of Korn.

ImmortallyInsane Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Ahh! Well, with Korn...to me, their first album was metal. After that, with their last album..they sounded more rock. Slipknot, to me, is totally metal. Most of the members were in death metal bands before being in Slipknot. Which I find totally kick ass. Anyways, where did the categorization of math metal come from? I mean, who named it "math metal?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmortallyInsane Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 And I agree with you on LP. I think their whole sound is pretty much rock. Their not that heavy, at least to my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_L Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Tech (or math) metal is a subgenre of heavy metal. It is characterized by a show of skill, changeable time signatures, and often dissonant or atonal guitar riffs. Death metal and grindcore elements are often found in tech metal. Some bands employ elements of jazz into their music, such as dynamic time signatures, guitar solos, and drumming patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigZeke Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I will include Prog-Death and Melo Death:-Arch Enemy-At The Gates-Bloodbath-Celtic Frost (They're more Black metal, but oh well)-Dark Tranquillity-Death-In Flames-Morbid Angel-Opeth (Favorite band ATM)-Soilwork-Slayer (They're technically Thrash metal, but they've influenced Death more than Thrash)That's about it for my Death list. I have a lot of Thrash metal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigZeke Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Children Of BodomChildren of Bodom is more Thrash/Power Metal. Laiho's riffs aren't Death metal nor do they fall into Melo-Death. Plus their keyboard usage is more like Power metal (Although keyboards are not exclusive to power metal, they way they are used in CoB is). The only thing remotely Death about them is Laiho's usage of the Death Vox. They're a pretty good band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeTalHeD Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 When they add jazz you usually get something like Dream Theater. The one death metal band I know that has jazz influences is Bloodbath. They use a riff in Stillborn Saviour and in Soul Evisceration (later in both tracks) that slow down and have small jazz riffs in them.In my opinion, Bloodbath are the best Death Metal band to date. But if it wasn't for Cryptopsy, Bloodbath wouldn't exist. therefore Cryptopsy's album None So Vile is Bloodbath's main influence even if they're not as brutal as Cryptopsy.

Pierre Tombale Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 death metal never had that much appeal to me,except for Amon Amarth,some Children Of Bodom (which aren't death metal really)and some Soilwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
