Take one of the most talented guitarists/composers/producers of our generation (Adam Dutkiewicz), pair him up with a top-three metalcore vocalist (Jesse Leach), and make them stay at home for a year. Good shit happens.
You guys see the MANY sexual assault allegations made against Marilyn Manson? @Iron_Condor @garagerocker13 @aldebaran @polo77j @marine77
If the stories are true the guy deserves to have his nuts put in a vice with pressure increments imposed every 15 minutes. The allegations are mounting.
Yep. If true and provableā¦ Good riddance.
Yikersā¦ I mean the dude is totally weird and obviously has some issues, didnāt know that might be one of them. And I liked some of this covers, but if this turns out to be highly plausible thereās just no way I can listen to his music the same way again.
@marine77 Found a band you might want to check out. Not sure if youāre into grindcore/crust punk, but I think these guys are awesome. Itās grindcore/crust punk with black metal undertones
These guys are also pretty cool, but Iāve linked them before
(metalcore/black metal)
These guys are good too
(not sure what this isā¦ powerviolence perhaps?). Music video is probably not appropriate to play at work
As is toxic holocaust, I rave about them and Iāve posted their content like 1000 times on here.
(thrash/black metal), this particular music video is not safe for playing within a work environment. The song has some hardcore drug references, but I think the song deters/discourages drug use as opposed to the blatant promotion seen in a lot of mainstream/contemporary music. Give this band in particular a shot alongside trap them, they release new albums regularly (actually itās a one man band, how cool is that!)
Have some Nails and The Secret in my playlists. Thanks dude. Familiar with Primitive Man ? Christā¦ Ugly and heavvvvvyyyyyy
You might be the only person Iāve ever spoken to who knows nails and the secretā¦ Iām relatively open about my music tastes, though I rarely play my music to others as people tend to think Iām a creep when they hear what I listen to. This is unfortunate, Iāve been into metal since the age of seven or soā¦ This music certainly doesnāt reflect on my character just as listening to gangsta rap doesnāt automatically make someone a thug.
Listening to Cardi Bās WAP or 2 live crews āpop that pussyā and singing that out loud in the college showers is fine but my music isnātā¦ hehā¦ I find that WAP song irritating, itās supposed to be empowering for women but the whole song is about condoning the objectification and hyper-sexualisation of womenā¦ Isnāt this the kind of thing a large portion of womenās rights advocates were trying to more/less put a stop to in the 1970ās? No judgement on my part, I just canāt wrap my head around how portraying oneself as overtly promiscuous is empowering.
There are plenty of mainstream contemporary hip hop songs that are highly explicit, graphically violent and condone degeneracy. I donāt see how thatās any different to (some) metal.
Yessir, I am aware of this band. Very, very harsh sound. Are you familiar with these guys
Or draconian? Nowhere near as harsh, but decent doom metal.
You Will Never Be One of Us
Ill check them out \m/
Thatās a nails album isnāt it?
Hatebreed, madball, agnostic front, vitamin X and municipal waste also decent bands if youāre into that punk/hardcore scene. I think punk/hardcore tends to be favoured by a younger demographic (like early twenties), probably because the music has more existential angst within the lyrics.
Thereās a scene for āmetalcoreā in Australia, which in its purest form is heavy metal crossed with hardcore
This is a representation of what iām talking about
Kind of an evolution from the original hardcore/crossover bands. These guys are no longer metalcore, theyāve gone ānu metalā and itās not very good in my opinion. I think their old stuff (as iāve posted above) is awesome. It was what got me into more extreme subgenres of metal at the age of tenā¦ That and cattle decapitation (grindcore??)
Actually you might like them too
Iām not sure what genre they are. Used to be goregrind, but now I think theyāre like tech death/grindcore.

Itās a NAILS song.
I used to be into old HCā¦ Sick of it All. Agnostic. Murphyās Law.
Still listen occasionally.
Napalm Death is my fav grind
Album and song.
For my fav grindā¦ Rotting Christ (early) and pig destroyer, napalm death is very good though

Got on stage with them around 00 during Step Down. Good old days when everyone was totally involved in the show and energy. Now its a bunch of drones on cellphones the entire time. I miss that electric feeling in the air. The palpable tension before a Slayer show.

Already have them in my playlist 
What about Melvins? Do you listen to them?
Love The Melvins. Seen em live too. Been a fan since 94
Iāve seen behemoth and these guys
Live (theyāve only got one metal album, saw them live just after it came out so thats what they were playing).
Concerts arenāt big anymore here, not many bands want to come down to Aus (can you blame themā¦). I give it 1-2 years and we will have large scale concerts and festivals again.
Iām not particularly interested in festivals anymore aside from downloadfest, most festivals donāt play rock/metal.
Thatās awesome! Canāt believe they just allowed people to climb up on the stage. Security in Aus is so stringent about that kind of stuff, youāll be beaten and chucked out before you manage to step foot on the stage 
From an associated genre: Bone Church a heavy stoner/doom blues rock band.
Quite good - one of my āfindsā last year:

It was a different time. Crowd surfing. Stage diving. Slam dancing. No cell phones. Completely different atmosphere and energy.
