Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Autopsy
Arsis
I'm also in to some of the epic, atmospheric sludge acts, such as Neurosis, ISIS, Cult of Luna, and Pelican. Check them out.
Skip most of these, except Nile (they rule), old Obituary/Carcass I guess, Cryptopsy (overrated but None so Vile is good). Most of it is just mediocre death metal. The worst kind of metal is mediocre death metal.
I fucking hate fretboard wankery in my death metal. It is all just an endless stream of notes at 3000 bpm with no songwriting or groove. I'm positive they can play their instruments; instead I just want them to play fucking songs.
Watershed said:I'll grant you Entombed though. Old Entombed. Because Mendez from Opeth wears Entombed shirts.
Let's see...
Cadaver: No leads at all, lot of black metal influence actually
I don't really like black metal either. Oh dear.
Disincarnate: He said he wanted fast solos, so I recommended some James Murphy. I'm sure you didn't even read the original post and just saw my screenname here and decided to troll me here as well.
Murphy's work in Testament and Death is better.
Gorguts: Lemay actually said he wanted to move away from fast-picking riffs and solos. Listen to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7CODxuXZRc
What I've heard was shit. But sure, if he wants to change, I'm all for it. I haven't listened to it yet though.
Suffocation: See Disincarnate
I guess these guys aren't too terrible. And I posted earlier in this thread lol
I also want to know how you can believe "None So Vile" to be a good album, while you just whined about too much technicality. Levasseur's leads are all over the place.
Because Lord Worm is awesome. Cryptopsy are overrated. Plus Flo is a douche. And now they have some -core metal
OHHHH, so you're an Opeth fanboy? I get it now! lmao
Irony ain't your strong suit, innit? Yeah, I like Opeth. Watershed is actually the name of an Opeth album.
I like metal. I just don't really dig generic DM. I also know the OP is more into thrash/power/heavy/glam (ugh I hate glam) so my recs were based on slowly getting into the heavier shit.

Since when was this thread about you?
I never said it wasn't. Testament is thrash, and I was naming death metal bands. Death had already been recommended, so why repeat what another has posted?
You've probably heard "Obscura", which is as far from "generic" as you can possibly get.
I guess these guys aren't too terrible. And I posted earlier in this thread lol
Hence, why I said "old stuff". "The Unspoken King" is a giant, steaming turd.
Who doesn't know who Opeth is? It's what all those new kids in the metal world listen to and think is the most amazing thing ever.
As for thrash, Sadus, Schweisser, and Dekapitator are my top picks.
pretty sure the OP is not a black metal fan either, but the point was you mentioned a band that I should apparently like because they are not generic dm, instead they are dm with bm. That... really doesn't make my panties drop either.
You could recommend good bands instead!
There are a couple more turds they released. Cryptopsy were shit before Unspoken King lol
The reason for that would be that Opeth are good. But I am sure their brand of progressive death metal mixed with folk, blues and jazz is a little too pretentious for your taste, I get that. But I'm not a fanboy of any band, except perhaps Anathema.
Yeah, I prefer other styles of metal to DM and BM. Actually, I think I prefer rock to metal these days. Well, not really, I like metal. I like some DM. I like some BM. But most of it is noise to these ears. I'd rather they stand out a bit.
So you already know that he wouldn't be interested in Cadaver? When did he tell you this?
I did.
No, Opeth bores me. I like what I like, and I don't like Opeth.
I could also say the same about Cadaver. I am sure their brand of thrashy, somewhat jazzy-feeling, old-school death metal mixed with black metal is a little too pretentious for your taste, I get that.
I never said there was anything wrong with that. Death metal isn't all I listen to either.
That would be weird, considering I like Atheist and Cynic. I like pretentious music. In fact, I think I like more pretentious music than you do.
Yeah but I doubt you listen to hiphop, folk, indie, post-rock, classical, jazz, blues, soul, or latin music!
Gorguts, Cult of Luna, Neurosis, Cadaver... I like a lot pf pretentious music.
Does it matter? I bet you don't listen to atmospheric sludge, post-hardcore, neue Deutsche härte, doom metal, or avant-garde metal!1!1!!11!/gasm
I listen to all of these genres. They are all subgenres of rock and metal. But I bet you don't step outside that.
Who says I have to?
you claim you are openminded but neglect 90% of music genres
very open minded!
but no, you don't have to :)
I respect other genres, but I don't have to listen to them every fucking day or anything.
Do you have something to prove? Is your package small and you have to make up for it by acting tough on the net or something?
