Define "metal".

ECH

I already had apologized (in this thread) for getting my drunken panties in a twist. So no need to kick a dead horse. But if you have any suggestions for new, recent, metal that you think we should check out I'm all ears and would appreciate it.

Steaming Wolf Penis Never heard
Impalement in the Northern Moonforest Funny as fuck
Dew-Scented Don't think I heard'em, but I know of them
Turbonegro Norway do tend to do Death Punk well.

Even thought the air has been cleared and the apologies have been made, I think it bears keeping in mind that you're probably not going to find any homophobes on a forum like this, especially where it seems like a lot of us are known not to be straight.

Also, Cradle of Filth may be the McDonalds of metal, but sometimes you really want a bunch of chicken McNuggets. Slipknot never caught my interest, and Slipknot fans tend to strike me as the "people suck, ergo everything is their fault and totally not mine" type of crowd. Not saying that's you zenny, just my experience. I've never listened to FFDP, probably because the name makes me think it's a band fronted by Quentin Tarantino, which, while I imagine would be amusing for a couple of minutes, would lose it's novelty rather quickly.

I'm partial to their classic song Masturbating on the Unholy Inverted Tracks of the Grim and Frostbitten Necrobobsledders

It's a classic.

I could never get into CoF cause they seemed just a little too much style-over-substance.  I'm not really a huge black metal fan, but I tend to like the grittier, rawer bands of the genre, or the bands that mix it up with folk influences (e.g. Moonsorrow and Finntroll).


FFDP, I think, are essentially the Nickelback of metal.  Just a very, packaged and commercialised band producing metal-styled music, but not real metal.

I'm glad you said that, because I was starting to wonder if you were taking the piss.

I really wanted to hate CoF. I really did. But they never fail to hit that itch that only fast and heavy will scratch. Once you get to harsher vocals (and being a Maiden fan, that's a bit of a hurdle), it's not too much of a problem, unless you're a really uptight Christian.

That said though, they don't hold a somewhat menacing torch to, say, Emperor. Seeing as how both Samoth and Faust are convicted arsonists.

Just anytime you see my status start off with "Unbelievably Cheesy Metal Song Episode whatever"



ETA: On Facebook, obviously

[Nephew Twiddleton]

One of my favorite local bands, which has since broken up, as I understand, was called "Unholy Goatfucker"

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Though, I'm pretty sure they were, at least a little, taking the piss, since the vocalist would shriek "Hail Satan" in between each song.

That can only mean two things. Dude's taking the piss, or the audience should be.

I was wondering with the steaming wolf penis

And I agree also with RWHN who mentioned the folk inspired metal. My partner and I saw a band from Sweden or Finland open for CoF a couple of years ago and they had the crowd totally in their control. Even with a fiddle player and an accordion they got people pumped like I haven't seen for a while. I think they were turnis or turnas something close to that.

thanks very much for all the suggestions

Turisas, they are definitely a very energetic band.


Band in a somewhat similar vein, also from Finland, is Korpiklaani.  Though, they are even more folky and don't do the harsh vocals.  In fact, they basically started as a pure folk band called Shaman, and then decided to become a metal band.  If you like metal songs about alcohol, they are your band.
