Phil Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 We've got a sort of catch-all "what are you listening to?" thread, but this thread is a refined version of that specific to metal and hard rock of all kinds. So, what are you all listening to? My latest rotation: 1. Alcest ? French melodic black metal with progressive overtones: For fans of Opeth, Les Discrets, Ghost [b.C.], Magna Carta Cartel ----- 2. Arcane ? Eclectic, ambient-influenced progressive metal from Australia: For fans of Tool, were they influenced by Melodic European metal, Caligula's Horse ----- 3. Caligula's Horse ? progressive alternative rock with metal influence from Australia (same singer as Arcane): For fans of Tool, were they influenced by Melodic European metal, Arcane ----- 4. Baroness ? Indie/post-punk influenced heavy metal with melodic influence: For fans of Mastodon, ISIS, Red Fang, Neurosis ----- 5. Mastodon ? Slude/stoner alternative metal and all-American bad-assery For fans of fuckin' awesome music ----- Oh, and speaking of fuckin' awesome music... 6. Gojira ? owning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Good stuff Rome. I had only heard of Mastodon. I liked basically the sound of all those, but Gojira stood out most to me as it sounded the most aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Fellas, drop multiple videos like this into spoiler tags so the thread doesn't get clogged up on load, please. Or just drop straight links to YouTube videos like I did in the OP. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyb Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 spoiler! that's a great idea. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Yup, just saves on load time. Even if you don't watch the videos, when you have a thread with like 20 YouTube videos linked, there's an initial load on all of them as a preview that will bog down the entire thread every time it's opened. I'd suggest straight links to YouTube directly, or dropping everything into a spoiler tag. If you've got a suggestion, do your write up like "this band rocks, they're from Australia and love tacos" and then drop the video into the spoiler tag.

High and Wide Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I've been listening to Sleep lately. My boss used to listen to it at work all the time. Just getting into it now. Sleep — Holy Mountain Stoner metal. A lot of droning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Minor Threat - I don't Wanna Hear It Black Flag - My War [video=youtube;nB_tGab-t0g] Gorilla Biscuits - Cats and Dogs Plus, these bands don't fit to a "T", but anything by Rage Against the Machine, Tool, Monster Magnet, Alice in Chains and even Primus as well.

Phil Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 I've been listening to Sleep lately. My boss used to listen to it at work all the time. Just getting into it now. Sleep — Holy Mountain Stoner metal. A lot of droning. Very sludgy. I don't mind it at all. Reminds me of Sabbath crossed with bands like CKY or Red Fang. You should check out Baroness if you are into this sound. They're a little more upbeat, but in the same influence vein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Check out Red Fang while you're at it. The Sword as well, for something sludgier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High and Wide Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Both are pretty awesome. The Sword is definitely sludgier, but both are something I could get into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 I actually don't like The Sword very much. Equally not into High on Fire. Can't really pinpoint why with either band. With HOF, it's the singers voice most likely, but I figured you'd be into them just based on the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
