• Cookie's Metal Recommendations - What you need to listen to in the Metal genre
    234 replies, posted
For any metalhead, or whoever wants to get in to the genre. Scroll through and pick out the albums you haven't listened to, and listen to them. You will find some albums better than those listed here, but these are great for what they are, and more importantly easy to get in to.

Why not this? [IMG]http://www.metal-archives.com/images/9/3/93.jpg[/IMG]
I approve of this thread Although Crack the Skye really has nothing to do with sludge And Red album is more post-metal I'd say You should put Kylesas Static tension there instead
Pretty sure that Lamb of God is metalcore OP. For sludge I'd say drop Baroness and Mastodon as well and toss in Houdini by Melvins and Spirited Migration by Dark Castle. Also, for post-metal, add in Australasia by Pelican and True Nature Unfolds by Callisto.

[img]http://www.drivenfaroff.com/wp-content/2007/08/btbam.bmp[/img] I missed this one. And AK'z, Pink isn't really a Drone album, I would go for Boris their Absolutego album as drone doom, pink was more stoner rock.
[QUOTE=kitteh-nator;30698697] And AK'z, Pink isn't really a Drone album, I would go for Boris their Absolutego album as drone doom, pink was more stoner rock.[/QUOTE] Maybe a secondary genre then. Probably should've posted Feedbacker, I think it's better.
deathcrush is more death thrash than black metal
Yeah it doesn't really represent the black metal sound very well since it wasn't really solidified at the time of its creation. Wolf's Lair Abyss is the best Mayhem release imo. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyKF2lhNwjw[/media] And [i]those fucking vocals, man[/i]

Nothing, I think I may have misread that somewhat. :froggonk:
[IMG]http://i56.tinypic.com/24zli6d.jpg[/IMG] Thought that would have made metalcore section. edit- hung over bad typing.
You need a thread like this to be a collaboration for the OP. Having just one person making the list will always end up with it being biased. We need an "Every Genre Ever" thread with a different person posting each genre and each genre being collaborated on by 5 or more posters.
I made a /mu/ styled "Essentials" thread a while ago!!!!! [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1093985-Post-YOUR-Essential-Music-Chart?highlight=[/url]
Also Eluveitie is folk metal, not melodeath, and Lamb of God falls under groove metal more than alternative.

[QUOTE=ProstituePhil;30698988]You seen lamb of god live ? Shit is off the fucking hook[/QUOTE] I will one day. Most festivals are 18+ here. I'm 17. Plus it costs upwards of $300 to go to one. When I move to Europe I'll be going to plenty.

Heh. Australians learn to drink at the age of 12. The government doesn't realise that though.
there's no nintendocore in this list, whole list is invalid
