Wasteland's Glorious Cornucopia of Excellent Heavy Metal

[CommieCanUCK]

Well, this is the snobby oasis of prog metal wankery. It's not like we're not self-aware.

I encourage you to start you own Forest of Fey Folk Metal! I like a few folk crossover bands. Amorphis could be in both threads, for example.

Prog metal is for pretentious nerds. Folk metal is where it's at, especially when it features pirates.

Arrrhh, no dirty plebeians aroun' here matey! Who know, they'ld probably bring lices with 'em.

Beside, Dreampop is where it's at.

Can I meet you sorta halfway? From Ulver's spacy, dreamy phase. Definitely a headphones album.

Feeder, you can meet me anywhere you want!

[CommieCanUCK]

Ahah I'm not really a metalhead but I got basically this happen to me on Sunday when I was at a movie festival because I was wearing my Stupeflip tshirt !
Stupeflip is a French band that's kinda hard to classify but what, weird mix of rap, punk and pop? Pretty unique sound.

But if you can't understand the lyrics you are missing quite a bit .

(Also I watched Lord of Chaos during the movie festival and it wasn't exactly like that when metalheads met, Euronymus called Varg a poser because he had a Scorpion thingy, but then Varg killed Euronymous so…)

That whole black metal inner circle thing was a bunch of edgy, awful kids trying to one-up each other. It was basically 4chan IRL.

Honestly I think the best part of the movie/documentary is that we hardly even hear the music from the band, and even the final songs during the ending credits aren't Mayhem, or even black metal lol.
Not sure if that was an intentional or unintentional insult but sure is funny!
And now black metal is Horde and Neckbeard Deathcamp lol.

Neckbeard Deathcamp are hilarious! Love this review

Let's get back to the proggery. Voivod have a new album this year, and it's amazing. Paranoid and compelling.

Horde are mighty funny too. Take this song, for instance:

Veins emptied of precious blood
Arteries dried of life source
Centuries before at skull
Time of remembrance is at hand
Consume the blood of Jesus
Drink and remember the death
Of the holy majesty
Whosoever believeth come and drink
With fear and reverence do
Come bretheren
Partake
Consume the blood
Cast the mind back to that day
When thunder shook the earth
And the veil was rent
Come brother partake
In the sacred remembrance

Yeah it's actually about unironically celebrating the sacrament of the Eucharist. I have no love for Christianity or religion in general, but I do love me some good old subversion and trolling, and Horde are really genius at this.

Also, not metal but I'm breaking all the rules!!!

Ok posting here because that answer by Gryphon Rue was epic imho!

Ok, this isn't metal at all but it is proggy and it is 50 minutes of pure aural bliss. King Crimson's (arguably) best lineup, With Fripp, Belew, Buford and Levin.

Know why death metal is called death metal? It's because of these guys! (even though Possessed probably had the first "real" death metal sound). Anyway, by 1996, Death had pushed the boundaries of death metal to new areas of musical genius, and Chuck and co. put out this prog death masterpiece.

Prog metal gods Dream Theater put out their 16th studio album recently, and it's a friggin' beauty.
