I'm talking epic fucking metal. Something with some balls!! Like the following. In my personal experience, I couldn't help but notice the absolute most amazing genre of metal. Technical metal. You know the kind of music that just blows your mind!! Here are some videos for your enjoyment. Let me know what cha think! bongsmilie

Gorod- Programmers Of Decline(FUCKING EPIC)

Gorod- Guilty Of Dispersal(Intense)

Gorod- Gilded Cage(Another EPIC one!!)

The Faceless- Planetary Duality I(Hideous Revelation)
Here is the second part to that bad ass tune!

The Faceless- Planetary Duality II (A Prophecies Fruition)

Decapitated- Post Organic (This band got me into Metal)

Meshuggah - Bleed (Polyrhythmatic Metal)

Meshuggah- Rational Gaze (Not the right video but same song)

Meshuggah- ObZen (A good one)

Amon Amarth - "The Pursuit of Vikings"(Viking Metal!!)

Psyclon Nine - Parasitic(I enjoy this shit)

Psyclon Nine - Scar Of The Deceiver(Just give it a listening to)

technical metal.... so basically a band that actually know what it's doing..

i like the whole range of metal from your amon amarth, arch enemy to things like avenged sevenfold (waking the fallen, their other albums were a bit crap).

i find avenged sevenfold to be "technical" they had a kick ass drummer, may he rest peacefuly or not, and some sick guitar work. as i say though, i liked waking the fallen for it's vocals and roaring, whereas now they're all soppy like.

i also like people like in flames, il nino, soulfly, machinehead, mushroomhead, murderdolls, pantera etc etc etc i just like lots really, of all geners, but equally dislike just as much in all genres, cus by god there are some terrible terrible terrible metal bands out there :lol:

Gotta love metal, sorry to say I can't stand some of the shit you posted. Gorod had some great instrumental work, I must say, vocals were really weak though. Listened to decapitated as well, vocals were a bit better, lyrics fucking sucked, couldn't take it anymore. As for metal goes, All That Remains has the most respect in my book, solid vocals, very musically aware band members, cool people, great music. Great thread though.

Agreed. There are some terrible bands out there. Seriously bad.. Technical Metal is really the genre with the most talent in it. By far!! Gorod and The Faceless, have some sick fucking music! AX7, I really used to like, but the vocals really really got to me! They sucked so bad I couldn't bear listening to them any longer..
AX7 is so far from Technical Metal, It's not even funny.. AX7 doesn't have half the balls, Gorod has. Or any other band I've posted has..:fire:

Okay, So Gorod is my favorite Metal band, by far. Vocals could use a tiny bit of work.. Decapitated, they are good as a band. Lyrically, you're right. You should give the faceless a shot. They are similar to Gorod, and better than Decapitated. Lyrically, they are the shit!!
All that remains? Really man? I find them to be more a long the lines of mainstream metal, radio metal in other words... I'm not a big fan, they just don't have the balls of steel like good metal bands do. Like Gorod.

Honestly, Break downs are over rated. They have a good sound to them, but that's not what makes or breaks a song or band.. The Acacia Strain is really good, so is LoG. Emmure, I haven't listen to yet. Also, I'm a big fan of Meshuggah! I remember the first time I heard them. It just happen to of been the first time I did LSD. I saw the music video to Bleed!! FUCKING EPIC man!!! :eyesmoke:

to each their own, i've never heard amon amarth put out anything i'd call propper musical talent, great band, but nothing amazing in the technical side, wheras a7x have some crazy abilities. sidewinders guitar duet is kick ass, and i personally fecking love the vocals from waking the fallen, have never found a band or album that can quite pull that off.

to each their own though :) i listened to gorad programmers of decline and thout it to be bollcos, sounds like a shit alternative to finntroll. can't find much technical wow in there at all, and being a former music student, i know what i'm looking for on the whole, but yes, to each their own :)

edit: just listened to gorad gilded cage and again, i can't find this technical metal, look ma, double bass!

You must either be retarded, or just def.. :blsmoke:

Ax7 really isn't that good at all.. Sidewinder however, is my favorite song by them.. yet it still isn't anything crazy.. I can play the whole song on guitar. Yet, I still have a hard fucking time playing basically any gorod. Since you're experienced in the field of music, maybe you would start noticing Gorod, also plays with Polyrhythms. Something about 85% of people just don't understand. Listen to all of the song Prgrammers of Decline. You'll see what I mean. And if you think Ax7 has some sweeping abilities, listen to this song. They sweep for a minute in this one, and it's so far from simple, It makes my balls hurt!! Here's the link. (Disavow Your God) Give this song a little bit, to really get flowing.

oh and about the Amon Amarth, I wasn't talking about them being a complete band. Because honestly, they are missing a good bit. But they are still headbanging good! bongsmilie

What do you mean, they don't have the 'balls of steel' like good metal bands do? They for one understand music theory a hell of a lot more than most bands do, and they also have arguably the most solid clean and scream vocals i have ever heard. I would have to say the best screaming i have ever heard comes from august burns red. Listen to tattered on my sleeve or focus shall not fail by All That Remains, maybe you will think that is more 'ballsy' for you, which is bullshit to have to say in the first place. Just because a band incorporates clean vocals and melodic themes into their songs doesn't mean they aren't 'man' enough or whatever the hell you were trying to say. But anyways, this darkened heart is probably the album you would like most out of any of theirs.

I am so sick of this kind of shit when it comes to music. Alright sweet dude, you can play one of their songs, doesn't mean you have the talent to write such a piece. Music doesn't have to be 'technical' to be good, but i also have to argue that really dumbed down songs (aka punk rock shit like blink 182) are just fucking retarded. It doesn't matter if a song is hard to play for fuck's sake, it is the music that someone had to actually write and refine through months, sometimes years, of practice and dedication. Next time you think a song is good just because it is ridiculously hard to play, think again... Jesus fucking christ

i'll get on that one in a bit man, gotta roll up another :)

and i have to say for me, music is as much about the quiet and sometimes silence, as it is about the loud and adrenalin rich.

i feel a lot of metal comes out sounding like shit because it's start RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADADADADABABABABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR stop. there needs to be depth to the song and whatnot to sound like a druid or something :P
