Heavy Metal Thread (and Associated Genres)

Because everyone should be listening to The Dirty Nil.

I shamefully enjoy Leo Moracchioliā€™s metal covers of pop songs.

No shame in it. Metal makes everything better.

The quintessential half time, guitar solo, and break down from metal really makes all songs better.

Awesome! I just saw them live for the first time. They ripped it. My wife described the bass playing as making her feel ā€œferal,ā€ which is probably the highest compliment.

Hmm. I just copy and paste the YouTube link, and the forum does the rest.

Being a teen in the late 90s early 00s, I do like me some nu metal from time to time.

Saw these guys with Sevendust a couple times. Great live band and good lifting noise.

Breakdowns = PRs

Nonpoint rocks. Just added their discography to my library to relive my youth lol

Also P.O.D. But itā€™s sad when you realize ā€œYouth of a Nationā€ now describes both your generation and the one below you.

The other day, I was playing the into drum part (its a simple tom / snare pattern) at band practice, and the guitarist asked ā€œwhat is that, I know itā€. Itā€™s been a long time since that has seen a lot of radio play.

I was doing my cardio yesterday, and Parkway drive showed up as recommended. Been ages since I listened to them. I know it not pure metal (for the metal snobs that canā€™t accept metal core), but I think they are pretty good workout music.

One of the things I really like about them is that their songs have lots or really good transitions from high energy to low energy. Good breakdowns, but they will incorporate them into lots of different parts of the song. A chorus might have a one measure mini breakdown right in the middle for example.
