Great thread. As a huge metal fan, this is exactly what VGC was needing around here

I'll post a few of my favourite songs: 

Epica - Phantom Agony

 

Cradle of Filth - Nymphetamine

Nightwish - Over The Hills and Far Away

Nine Inch Nails - Perfect Drug

See, I'm more of an "opera metal" (nightwish, within temptation, Kamelot, Epica, etc) than a regular Heavy metal listener. Only exception is for Avenged Sevenfold. I can't stand metallica who are supposed to be the poster-boys of the genre

basically a thread for people who dont like music then?

both genres are essentially just muppets attacking there instruments at high volume so a bunch of pretentious morons can fap to it.

Just for the record.

Nothing wrong with not liking Metallica. They are my favorite band, but metal is the most diverse genre that some sub-genres sound completely different from each other. I am new to opera metal, Nightwish is the only one I am familiar with but I love their music. Deathcore is the only subgenre I can't stand. I like bands that you can actually understand what they are saying.

That's why I enjoy Cradle of Filth's new approach since Nymphetamine. Previously, I couldn't stand them since they were barely understandable (with the exception maybe with From Cradle to Enslave). Now, they're more Symphonic Metal oriented.

I'll have to give it a listen. I have only ever heard their older stuff and was not aware they changed.

Make sure you give Nymphetamine, Temptation, Tonight in Flames and Her Ghost in the Fog a listen, when you have the chance

I listened to Nymphetamine, its pretty good. I'll wait until tomorrow to listen to the rest of it. My household would kill me if I was blasting music at this hour, it's 9:30 over here.


Hahaha I understand you I sometimes forget that living in an apartment means that after 10:00 PM, you can't have loud music playing, and I leave my PC blasting at max until some of the neighbors come complaining
