blaaacdoommmmfan given a Damn from RexKeltoi in Is there a longer Doom track?
Some alcohol and bell witches mirror reaper works well. I was skeptical. I had some freebie Christmas wine left over from work so I downed half the bottle as I'm not a complete alcoholic 😁. The album and alcohol works well. Spot on 🤘🤘 next stop scotch whisky and the album. 👍

blaaacdoommmmfan given a Damn from Arioch in Sad songs like Doom metal but without growling
Candlemass- epicus doomicus metalicus
This is clean singing. No growling. Just the occasional high pitch stuff. Very much enjoying this at the moment. The doomy bassy bits I think are spot on too.

blaaacdoommmmfan gave a Damn to VixenRaves in What do you usually do while listening to music?
I have to say early Metallica, for sure. Metallica pretty much was the gateway metal band for me, so I tend to always come back to them as a favorite. Acid Reign is pretty cool too. If Slayer also counts as thrash, I'd say they're a pretty cool band. Kreator -- if they count as thrash too, is a pretty sick band I'm a fan of.
Does Overkill count too?
KoRn is probably my favorite nu-metal band, and is also one of the first metal bands I got into (other than Metallica, Slipknot, and System of a Down). Deftones is also a pretty cool band, and I do enjoy some of Disturbed's music (not all of it, but there's a good amount from them I like). I also enjoy listening to Mudvayne and Incubus too. I don't think I really got into Limp Bizkit, all though I enjoy a few of their songs, but it's just one or two songs here and there.
Lol I always listen to music in the shower now. I don't really have to worry about others hearing it as much since my room is in the basement level of the house, and my parents' room is on the 3rd floor. So, somehow, they don't really hear my music coming from my room, though sometimes they ask about the demons coming from my bathroom when I attempt to scream along to other bands (I admit, horribly), or attempt to do those Jonathan Davis growls in the bathroom. So I try to keep that to a minimum until there's really no one in the house. Even if they do hear it, they don't always seem to mind as long as the music isn't too loud. So when I'm not listening in the shower, I'm always listening to metal music with headphones on (when I can). 😂
And even then, I've still never had the chance to go to a metal concert yet. My parents worry I'll get hurt at one, which I understand that they care about that, so I've never been able to go. But hopefully I'll be able to experience one at some point.

As far as this vein goes, so fat just Sleep and Electric Wizard. Sorry to disappoint.

blaaacdoommmmfan gave a Damn to VixenRaves in What do you usually do while listening to music?
I guess it varies on the different songs I listen to, but mainly I'll headbang to thrash (80s/90s thrash, since my knowledge of thrash kind of ends there) or metalcore. Those are typically the main genres I listen to most of the time, and occasionally, when I listen to nu-metal, I may headbang here and there.

blaaacdoommmmfan given a Damn from VixenRaves in What do you usually do while listening to music?
Good list you got there vixen raves. I most like listening to some really motivational metal on the way home from work. Genre of metal I play varies depending on how tired I am but puts a spring in my boots to get home efficiently.
You headbang. Cool. I don't do that anymore because I'm just old and I've got enough injuries without adding to the list😁out of interest what's you favourite genre of music to headbang to.

blaaacdoommmmfan given a Damn from Rexorcist in Stoner Doom
I'm with you on this rexorcist. Most times I know the genres of music I like so I buy more from that specific genre and after some listening to a few albums I get one.Occasionally I want something a bit different so quite often I look up some interesting sub genre I like the sound of and I play some tracks till I get something I like. Subgenres just make it easier to find what music I like. It can be a bit complicated as there are always bands that are not exactly just one genre of Subgenre but overall it's a positive.
-
blaaacdoommmmfan gave a Damn to Rexorcist in Stoner Doom
I don't know about others, but genre classifications always help me find exactly what I'm in the mood for. Judging by album covers would be the ideal method of guessing without them, and you don't want to be in the mood for something totally monstrous and Sabbathy and then end up with a pop album. Hence the late and great Meat Loaf. True, people still judge whether or not they want to buy an album by the cover sometimes, but still.

blaaacdoommmmfan gave a Damn to VixenRaves in What do you usually do while listening to music?
I study for tests or quizzes, or even while just doing homework or classwork
I help around the house with chores
I walk my dog outside in the afternoon
I read books
I might listen to music when I'm in the shower.
I listen to music in the kitchen when I'm cooking up something.
I listen to music in the car, on the way to and from school.
I listen to music when I just sit down and relax after a long day
Sometimes I'll journal thoughts or ideas
Headbang
Surf the web
Create some art
I'll listen to music before I go to sleep...
Or I'll just listen to music just to enjoy it!
I pretty much listen to music pretty much almost 24/7 (that's a bit exaggerated, but I'm almost always listening to music when I'm not talking to friends in person).

blaaacdoommmmfan gave a Damn to navybsn in When metal bands p*ssed off there fans by changing style ???????
I'm definitely a fan of those bands. I grew up with them as they were breaking. My point was they're all shitty singers, but those bands wouldn't be the same without those voices at the front. You can't hear Dave or Tom without instantly knowing the band even if it's a song you are unfamiliar with. IMO, they make the band. You can always replace a guitarist or drummer, but you have a much harder time replacing a lead singer (see Anthrax for instance). They were never the focus of those bands as GG said, but I argue they wouldn't be the same without them. Personally, I love old Megadeth, Metallica, and Slayer. They all jumped the shark around 1990 though.
What attracted people to those bands was the riffs and aggression. Gotta remember that before these guys there really wasn't much available to the wider world heavier than Maiden or Priest. Sure Bathory, Celtic Frost, Fate, but they weren't easily digestible for most in the early days if people even knew about them. No internet to spread the word and no major distribution or promotion in retail shops. That started to change (at least in my area) around the time these bands started releasing their best stuff. Probably different in the major urban centers, but I can say as someone who isn't from one of those that shit like this was unknown in podunk. We latched onto that stuff like a pitbull. Like the first time you hear the music of your people. So some of their continuing success is nostalgia even from people who no longer listen to metal. Some is generational because our kids heard it from us and liked it. Some is just metal/cultural because they're bands you are supposed to like a la Motorhead and Sabbath.
Have to agree on Chuck Billy. Lukewarm on Blitz. Killian is fucking unlistenable as is the guy from Toxik. Zetro doesn't bother me but I could care less about Exodus in the first place. I would add that none of the big German bands had decent singers either. Neither did any of the second wave of thrash acts like Coroner, Sadus, et al. I won't kick a thrash band to the curb because the singer sucks, but if they don't bring the heat on the riffs, they go straight out.

blaaacdoommmmfan gave a Damn to navybsn in When metal bands p*ssed off there fans by changing style ???????
Megadeth wouldn't be the same band without Dave's distinctive voice. His combination of drug/booze addled antics and flat out hatred made the first few albums better. Gave them a little fire. Love him or hate him, no one else would sound right delivering those lyrics. I'd say the same for James and Tom Araya. They are unique characteristics of the band. Neither of those guys are "good singers", but they fit. Honestly, I can't name a "good" singer in a classic thrash band. All of their post 1990 material is meh at best, so no comment there. Dave did sound pretty good when I saw them last year, but check out the video from Hellfest this year....he looks ready for the retirement home.

Seeing her pic for the first time tonight my first impresssion is that she doesn't strike me as a drummer.
But then on the other hand, this doesn't look like underwear most professional drummers would wear either.

blaaacdoommmmfan gave a Damn to Dead1 in Who are your current top 5 bands?
I don't think I've had a top 5 bands for a while now. I know Iron Maiden is my number 1 and Megadeth number 2. After that it gets vague.
Doesn't help many of my former favourite bands have since released so many shit or generic albums I no longer regard them as favourites. Instead I have merely favourite albums from them.

blaaacdoommmmfan gave a Damn to Terrorvision13 in Who was baptized?
i was a newborn when it happened so i was kinda just sat there mr whippy ice cream shitting in my nappy whilst the church did its jazz. when i got a bit older, around 5 to 6 years old my nan made me go to church with her, i sorta just sat there, my intrest was more in the little bars of cheese the nice old ladies would bring for all the kids at sunday school. then i started arsing around a bit, once i got asked "when should a child attend a funeral" at sunday school and i said "when they are dead"....i genuinely didnt think about the question-
everyone was talking about forgiveness whilst i was positioning two mini mannequins in the back storage room to look like they were wanking each other off.
i would show upto church in an AC DC t shirt at about 9 years old. at this point i was here for fun, i never looked into it but at 11 i read the bible and tried to be an actual christian. much like your first girlfriend, my relationship with god lasted a week and seriously fizzled out towards the end. lets just say, god left his underwear on the bathroom floor way way too much. it didnt work out. he was a more stairway to heaven kinda guy. i was highway to hell.

As for Metallica, there's only one way they could make me their fan - if Hettfield leaves the band bc he can't sing.

blaaacdoommmmfan gave a Damn to zackflag in When metal bands p*ssed off there fans by changing style ???????
Huh, it has always been my understanding that James and Lars ruled that band with an iron first and had complete and utter control over the musical direction of the band, especially in the 80's. Kirk and even Cliff were essentially just along for the ride. So even if Cliff had never passed we still could've gotten the same AJFA album, except maybe with more bass....

Talk to Wendy Dio, she might be able to manage Cliff's return

If Lindemann returns to the band, yes, I would. I stopped listening to Nigthwish for the same reason - no more Tarya in the band.
An apology would help only if they return to what they were, otherwise it's just words. "We're sorry we disappointed you but we got to greedy for money".

IDK about other people, but I know which band pissed me off - Rammstein. IDK why or when but they're no longer industrial metal, they're... something else. That's why I haven't updated my collection and stick to my favorite 20 songs only.

blaaacdoommmmfan gave a Damn to AlSymerz in Whatcha Eatin'?
Every job has it's perks, some people take them too far but even taking a pen home from work is technically theft, but how many every get sacked for a pen? I've got a mate who used to deliver beer and he got 2 free slabs of beer (24 cans = slab) a week, he didn't have to take it, and they didn't remind workers they could, it was just a perk. Eating something I was supposed to be delivering was hardly going to be a crime, especially when I minused it off the shop order so they weren't charged for it.

Yes, I can't wait! August 14 is gonna be epic! They're already such a heavy band because of how downtuned their guitars are. But in a live setting, it literally makes your teeth rattle. It's crazy! My favorite album is their 1996 release "Broken Glass", followed closely by their 1998 release "Odd Fellows Rest" and their 2014 release "Symmetry in Black". Out of all 12 albums, I enjoy every single one, though.
That's awesome that you're seeing Conjurer! What's your favorite song from their new album? I do enjoy some doom every now and then, so I'll make sure to check out more of their stuff. What's their best album, in your opinion?

You can see how much more naturally the Vegemite embraces and enhances the surface of the toast. Yum.
And Tesco Yeast Extract? Fuck me dead, they are having a laugh.
