Bubba69 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Okay, listen guys. I need a good metal album that is very technical and heavily composed with little to no vocals and with ripping lead guitar solos. Heavy but not washed out. Something for my brain. I want to get into metal but I'm really never in the mood for the dark thrashing screaming shit. EDIT: let me expand on my request.. I've recently gotten very into king crimson which isn't exactly metal but I'm very into some of the riffier heavier moments they have. Such as: Red: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WziHTTy_MCs and the guitar soloey part of frakctured(solo around 5:10): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qZjVD4ejcs Edited March 25, 2011 by Bubba69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ansgaria Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 According to a Facebook update by Steven Wilson, he and Mikael Åkerfeldt have just finished mixing a new Opeth record. "(...) Firstly, we finished mixing the incredible new Opeth album a few days ago, keep an eye on their website for details on that. Mikael and I also took the opportunity while he was here to finish writing our collaboration album - there's still a lot of recording work to do, but this should definitely be out in early 2012." Yes. Oh, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr_Nova Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 textures are another great band. they build on meshuggah's style to include more melodic stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN3Og8gCHDo when the keyboards come in, so gorgeous. really great to hear a technical metal band using ambience. Thanks a lot for turning me on to this, fantastic musical ideas. It's rare that I hear new metal that leaves a big impression on me. These guys never cease to amaze: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkEkPI79f3k Cephalic Carnage is pushing extreme metal into some interesting directions. They're all over the map, always exciting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDc_AAnhTnY Intronaut's crazy creative, I'm very curious to hear how they evolve: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZYhDtg31Wc And for some reason I'm only just now getting into Napalm Death. Inside Out Torn Apart is a fucking great album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slctqreLUkw And for anyone who wants to be assailed relentlessly, Origin's last album Antithesis is just stupid. It's one of the few albums that has left me feeling beaten up after listening to it. I have a theory that if their drummer stopped machine gunning his kicks for more than 5 seconds the whole thing would collapse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVPvoEPburY --they're not a personal favorite, but possibly the most extreme sounding metal band I've heard. That's got to be worth something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's got to be worth something. Origin's second album "Informis Infinitas Inhumanitas" is their best by far, check that one out. Also, these guys are even more extreme than Origin, and pretty damn great.

Guest Mathew Augustus Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 My favorite metal bands: immortal, tool, burzum, bathory, darkthrone, beherit, thorns, gorguts I'm sure everyone's heard Tool, but I'd recommend Thorns, Gorguts and Burzum specifically to members here.

Guest Mathew Augustus Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hmm I'd have edited my previous post for the first recommendation samples, but I can't....so here you are: Thorns http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq3IGvsU7bg Gorguts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDUIMokbk2g Burzum http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Bm-kdLwBVc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KovalainenFanBoy Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I've never listened to "extreme" metal before, just thrash, nu, industrial, you know, normal metal. But this EP is just so sexy it makes me jizz in my pants lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
