ivankiss Posted May 21 Posted May 21 Big metal fan over here, obviously. Yes, it is great for emptying, it is great for expressing all kinds of emotions. Exploring and entertaining all kinds of philosophies. It's not necessarily always about anger or violence or depression. Metal does not exist only in lower realms. It goes way up high, as well. It goes into territory not many, if any other genres go. Listening to metal can easily be a 'transcendal experience'. Not to mention just how insightful and moving the lyrics can get. Metal is easily one of the rawest, realest and truest genres out there. Metal can be a friend. A real one. A parent, even. A guide. A protector. Music in general is just so cool it really cannot be put into words. And of course, there are all kinds of genres out there, that are each awesome in their own way. Just thought of giving metal a little extra love. Here's a couple of epic ones, that are communicating 'the message' loud and clear: I'm submerged in filth, fragmented chaos In chrysalis state i await my birth Thoughts and memories proceed to haunt me Soon all these fragments will be gone Morphing begins I'm becoming a god Birth is nothing but death's beginning Now as my soul is yearning Morph to new paradigms Find wisdom in the learning My will always finds a way See the embers burning Sense no dividing line Same being, dead or living My will burns through time This being feeds within now To be born, be alive Feed inside Its presence goes beyond life Fate will follow the mind You could raise the dead With those terribly troublesome eyes Maybe you'll always be bad Maybe you'll always be the same Are you alone, locked inside That prison in your head? You walk through the crowd Lost in the sound Invisible to every passing eye A lie, what once I was, obsolete instrument An outmoded contraption, a malfunctioning device That callous self now extinguished, that malignant self now disused That conceited invention to nothing now reduced Complete disintegration, the destruction of me now imperative To purge myself of this condition, complete this dissolution a necessity Break this deceitful machine Quote Mention Music

ivankiss Posted May 21 Author Posted May 21 @Joseph Maynor Hell yeah! Nothing quite like good old thrash! Quote Mention Music
ivankiss Posted May 22 Author Posted May 22 Death... really deserves it's own thread haha! Chuck Schuldiner was easily one of the greatest ever to walk these grounds. So much love. Lies feed your judgement of others Behold how the blind lead each other The philosopher You know so much about nothing at all Quote Mention Music
Joseph Maynor Posted May 22 Posted May 22 (edited) I can hear a lot of Eddie Van Halen influence on “Devil’s Child”. Even in the tone of the chord stabs in the prechorus and the backing guitar in the chorus. Edited May 22 by Joseph Maynor Quote Mention 💬 🗯️🤍
ivankiss Posted May 22 Author Posted May 22 Played this one live with a band once... such a banger! So much fun. You crawled and bled all the way, but you were the only one that Was tearing your soul apart, you finally find yourself Quote Mention Music
ivankiss Posted May 22 Author Posted May 22 (edited) Gods of technical death metal right here. Doesn't get much better than this. From start to finish, the entire record is just a pure masterpiece. Untouchable. Gold. One of my all time favourites. If it is to be only An element of a whole To hide behind others And form the eclipse of mind Ignominious and pale If it were to one Having nothing to tell This would equal A state of being the one Ignominious and pale Edited May 22 by ivankiss Quote Mention Music
ivankiss Posted May 22 Author Posted May 22 (edited) I mean... to be able to pull off something like that... jesus... you have to be a superhero. A true wizard. Enlightenment? Haha. Please. It's a joke. Edited May 23 by ivankiss Quote Mention Music
ivankiss Posted May 22 Author Posted May 22 I'm giving you real gems here folks, pay close attention! Next up is this ridiculously good Thrash band from the future called Vektor. I mean, everything is just insanely good. But those vocals man... at times the dude sounds like an alien squirrel or something. Such unique vocals. Just fire. Pure fire. Quote Mention Music

ivankiss Posted May 23 Author Posted May 23 Now this is where things get super interesting. Mystical. Transcendental. At this point, one must ask themselves... is this even metal? Is this even music? Or is this just straight up God, not even trying to hide? If there is future these three dudes are it. They are really pushing the limits of what's musically and (in)humanly possible. Instrumental only, of course. No messy lyrics getting in the way, trying to distract you from feeling the sheer epicness and wonder of this incredible music. It takes an incredibly well trained ear, and much, much more than that, for one to be able to really hear and appreciate this band. Behold... One of the greatest progressive metal bands ever... Animals As Leaders Quote Mention Music
