Metal Megathread (the thread to house all your glam-death hardcore satanic flame wars) - General

I just ordered ISIS's Celestial and Wavering Radiant :3: And I almost ordered a ISIS t-shirt from the US but jesus fuck it's so expensive, the shirt itself 17 bucks, delivery: First-Class Mail International Package - $9.14 TYPICALLY 1-3 WEEKS, VARIES BY COUNTRY, NO TRACKING AVAILABLE. ADDITIONAL CUSTOMS FEES, DUTIES, AND/OR TAXES MAY APPLY. and I don't know what kinda taxes and shit am I forced to pay and and stuff D: [editline]14th January 2011[/editline] [url]http://www.bluecollardistro.com/isis/images/isi-ss-038-full.jpg[/url] Do want ;_;

Just say it's a gift and you should be able to avoid taxes and other such things. Actually depending on your country there's normally a limit that I can item can be worth before they'll charge imports and other taxes. Delivery is still a turd though.

[QUOTE=dcalde78;24269189]Metallica are the best thrashcore band I have ever heard[/QUOTE] Thrashcore?

Essentially really fast and aggressive hardcore punk Led onto crust punk then grindcore.

Been' listenin' to Overkill lately. I love "I hear black", the way you can hear the bass, it sounds really mean in the background. The whole album has this groove-metal feeling :buddy: Personal favorite Overkill album. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUpRkzY74Ng&feature=related[/media]

[QUOTE=kirderf;27370214]protip: Do not attempt to growl when you have no idea how the fuck you do it.[/QUOTE] I taught myself. Coughed some blood once, that was my cue to change technique.

[QUOTE=bravehat;27425279]Dude I got a pelican t shirt from that site, was about 20-25 quid max :v:[/QUOTE] Where are you from then? I think the payments and shits vary in different countries.

[QUOTE=Calkkuna;27426206]Where are you from then? I think the payments and shits vary in different countries.[/QUOTE] The UK.

[QUOTE=bravehat;27426307]The UK.[/QUOTE] Hmm, I'll look into the toll payments.

Generally I don't like Black or Death metal but it's so fun to try growling.

I actually think that I can growl properly, because I can feel some vibrations in my chest when I do the deep growls So that means I'm using the diaphragm a lot, right?

[QUOTE=Vedicardi;27424697]lol everything they did from years of decay to ironbound has been groove metal feel the fire is always and will always be the best[/QUOTE] Feel the fire is great, but i don't really dig the vocals on it.

Morbid Angel was for me the Gateway band to death metal.

Everyone tells me to use the diaphragm when growling. Is it even possible to breath without using the diaphragm?

[QUOTE=kirderf;27429117]Everyone tells me to use the diaphragm when growling. Is it even possible to breath without using the diaphragm?[/QUOTE] In a way, when you breath properly with the diaphragm it changes the shape and capacity of the lungs when you take a full breath, it also changes the balance of oxygen and CO2 in the lungs, that's why when you do a lot of exercises you take deep breaths through your nose, natural reaction to use the diaphragm as much as possible, expels as much CO2 as possible and lo you have more oxygen in your blood as a result. But yeah it's possible, and it's better if you can breathe that way as much as possible. :v:
