Metalheads United ;D

Although I wouldn't call myself a full metalhead (I listen to lots of genres) I have been enjoying some All That Remains and Dream Theater, especially This Calling by ATR just for the drums.
 
That site fails. Dissing Heartwork is a fuck you. Dissing both In Flames and Opeth is even more of a "fuck you". Seriously, it looks like they only like things that are brutal death metal and have no sense of musicality to them. I like death metal as much as the next guy, but come on.
 
What are the characteristics of brutal death metal? i think i haven't listened to that genre?

Also,grindcore hasn't mentioned itt. Do you guys think grindcore is shit in general?


edit: Ok, Venom are considered by many a black metal band(especially the BM album), but their sound is nothing black metal imo, and their sound is more thrash/NWOBHM. I think the first wave BM sound is more like bathory. what do you guys think of this?

I really enjoyed reading the article, thus why I am posting it here.

Hmm, I am definitely going to disagree with most of the article. I understand everyone has their personal tastes, but I must say, I enjoyed Slaughter of the Soul (though it is a bit generic at times), and bands such as Cannibal Corpse and Meshuggah still have their appeal to me. I'm not going to complain about In Flames as much, I'm sort of wearing out on melodic death metal, though it's still good. But dissing Pantera... that's just asking for trouble.

Grindcore is definitely a mixed bag, mostly bad. I found that I liked the album Goremageddon by Aborted, which I guess is goregrind. Napalm Death is decent grindcore, but I just don't find it listenable. Then we get to stuff like AxCx... oh god. (Picnic of Love, anyone?)

Do you enjoy Death? That might be my favourite DM band.

I actually haven't heard much of them, but I think they're pretty similar to Vader, another death metal band that I really like.
 
I don't like grind.

Brutal death metal is just death metal, but LOUDER AND MORE BRUTAL. Basically death metal that is more gory lyric-wise. I don't like most death metal. Except Death and Morbid Angel and the occasional Nile and Bloodbath.
 
okay, you guys do listen to a hell lot of metal yet you don't consider yourselves a metalhead? so what is the definition of metalhead? is it about attitude?

p.s.: hi comradealtmer!
 
Metalhead is simply someone that likes metal and acts like the stereotype (long hair, band clothing, etc...)

I like the music and partly dress like metalhead, but also partly don't.
 
There's some seriously awesome grind bands out there, but the majority is shit. Bands like Pig Destroyer and Cephalic Carnage are absolutely mind blowing grind bands. If you need proof go download and/or buy Pig Destroyer's Prowler in the Yard and Cephalic Carnage's Xenosapien. Cattle Decapitation is wicked too, their best (at least, my favorite) record is Humanure.

Also, is anyone else as stoked as I am for the new Baroness album as I am?

My belief on metalheads isn't really fashion or appearance, I'd say you are a metalhead if you just love to listen to the genre. If you saw me on the street you wouldn't believe I listen to metal at all, but just because I don't wear band tees or have long hair doesn't mean I am any less a fan than someone with those qualities.
 
Going to In Flames, Killswitch, BTBAM and Protest the Hero tomorrow.

Mostly just stoked for BTBAM and Protest, might not stay for In Flames and Killswitch depending on when my friends leave :/

Should kick ass though, then I'm heading off to Dethklok and Mastodon Oct. 6th.

(Despite this I wouldn't call myself a metalhead)
 
That's a pity you ain't staying for In Flames 'cos they're the best band on the bill (I'd skip Killswitch too).
 
I'd disagree, I'm a BIG protest fan.

I'm staying for all 4 though, cause that's what my friends are doing, and I payed 50 bucks I might as well get all I can out of it (Plus In Flames IS pretty cool).

I'm not a metalhead in any sense of the word, but I just pre-ordered Brutal Legend and if you are a metalhead than you should be grabbing this game too! There's a demo on Xbox Live Marketplace and the PlayStation Store.

I'd link to the official site but I think this thread does a better job of explaining it:

Ahahaha I love most metal. Death, black and some of the lighter more melodic stuff. I absolutely adore Behemoth at the moment.
 
I love all things metal. Thrash, Glam, Power, Black, Death, MeloDeath, etc.

Here are my fav metal bands:
Disturbed, Slipknot, Pantera, Slayer, Sevendust, Megadeath, Arch Enemy, Five Finger Death Punch, Mastodon, Hollywood Undead (although they are only metal to a certain extent), AC\DC, Dio, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Trivium, Avenged Sevenfold, Bad Company, Rammstein, Static-X, Van Halen, Dragonforce, Killswitch Engage, Lamb of God, Korn, and Chevelle.

Fav albums:
The Sickness by Disturbed, Iowa by Slipknot, Shogun by Trivium, War is the Answer by Five Finger Death Punch, and Vulgar Display of Power by Pantera.
 
^It is quite debatable if half the bands that you listed are actually Metal at all in the strictest sense, though I'm no expert at the exact musical boundaries that define Metal. All I will say is that I have a couple of friends who would probably want to give you a four-hour-long lecture after reading your post. Yeah, I have some weird friends lol.

Anyway, I'd like to say that although I am way too casual a music listener to classify myself as anything, let alone a metalhead, it is by far my favorite genre of music, and the one that I always find myself straying towards the most. So you can count me in as a 'fan' at least.

There are many, many different divisions within metal. Industrial Metal, Alternative Metal, Glam Metal, Power Metal, Black Metal, Thrash Metal, Melodic Death Metal, Heavy Metal, Classical Metal, Power Metal, Groove Metal, Rap Metal, Christian Metal (lol), Sludge Metal, Nu Metal, and Speed Metal. That list neglects to name a few, but you get the idea. And the differentiantion between Hard Rock and Metal is a bit blurry in some areas. Also note that while a band may have some metal songs, that does not neccessary mean that all songs they write have to be metal. Some bands are included under a broad genre for some of their work. It could be argued that some NiN songs, for example, are heavy metal, whereas most others are not.
