Haha yeah I guess my list goes a little back and forth between subgenres; I used to bounce around between subgenres and have periods of only metalcore, or only folk-ish stuff, or w/e but now I always have difficulty choosing what I feel like listening to at a given time, it's really hard unless I mix all of those bands in a single playlist which leads to it being like 600 songs long or something..

I checked out Empyrium and they were great! Don't kill me or anything, but I somehow felt that they were a little similar to Enslavement of Beauty, maybe that's just me though. And yeah, EoB's lyrics are nice

I really don't see what's similar between the two but hey, that's your opinion hahaha.

Am I the only one that finds Scar Symmetry to be terrible? I saw them live last september and they're probably one of the worst bands I've seen live (Samael comes in first though). Their guitarist kept screwing up and their solos were just really boring wankyness. I received the cardboard promo of their most recent album and I still found them extremely boring (if anyone wants it PM me, we can surely arrange something). They seem to be this really ubber popular metal band for 16 year olds but I just can't understand why. To my ears there's just nothing that's really great about them. Hell, I'd listen to the new In Flames more than Scar Symmetry.

I've never actually got too into them, but Pitch Black Progress (the song not album) was pretty cool. It could of been longer though.

Maiden is the fucking best, woo go Iron Maiden, let's talk more about Maiden, UP THE IRONS and all that goofy british shit.

Actually Iron Maiden is a really stupid band but I mean WITHOUT A STILLSUIT YOU WOULD FRY ON THE SANDS SO HOT AND DRY IN A WORLD... CALLED ARRAKIS haha man they are so awesome.

up the irons is west ham you clutz

up the irons is west ham you clutz

whatever man it was all over their album booklets, I don't know what that shit means!!  you kooky brits.

yes. iron maiden are west ham fans. up the irons is like saying 'go red sox' or whatever.

Edge of Sanity's Crimson album is amazing. It's well worth 40 minutes of you time to listen through at least once; some info.

Heres a youtube playlist: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=F7D9B1EAABB71D39

But yeah it's pretty awesome progressive, melodic stuff.


On Iron Maiden a lot of people say they love them but I can't really get into them. The vocals just seem cheesy, as well as all other power metal.

Crimson I and II is frickin' awesome! I still prefer Purgatory Afterglow a little bit more though. I just love that album.

By the way in all seriousness Iron Maiden is a really cheesy and goofy band but I was obsessed with them like 5-6 years ago and now I think they are hilarious and as Steel said with whatever band he mentioned earlier I just like to cheese out to Maiden.

ffff why are iron maiden and power metal in the same sentence ?!?

Fucking MISFITS.

I like metal... I use to like hammerfall

Some of my Favorits now are
Deadlock
Scar Symmetry
Epica
Nightwish
Opeth
Circus Maximus
Ayeron..

and the list goes on but I cant recall some.

Ahahaha, gotta love heavy fuckin' metal and friggin' hard rock, they're my favorite kind of music. I do tolerate other kinds of music (except for (c)Rap, hip-hop, techno, country, R&B, DISCO, or even skin music AKA bubblegum teen pop).

My favorite kind of bands are the classic 70's-early 80's metal bands, ESPECIALLY bands that emerged from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal scene, like Iron Maiden, early Def Leppard, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Cloven Hoof, Angel Witch, Grim Reaper, Tygers Of Pan Tang, Satan, Venom, Saxon, etc. etc. etc.

You can't say shit about Ozzy (back in his Sabbath hippie days ONLY!) or even Dio.. Ozzy may be the prince of darkness, but Dio is the GOD of metal..

I also love 90's Pantera's shit and who couldn't forget the AMAZING Dimebag Darrell, man.. That guy just ripped Pantera's music to the max with each album getting heavier and heavier from album to album.

As for Metallica, well, only their first album (Kill 'Em All) was any good. Eversince then, they started getting overrated and suddenly went MAINSTREAM with the "Black" album.

PS: Oh, don't worry, I fucking HATE emo bands and anyone who passes My Chemical Romance as "metal" needs to be shot... on the kneecaps!
