Rock and Metal Society

What have you heard already?

Personally I'd start with the classics. For death metal, that's something like (going for a good mix):

Death - Leprosy
Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness
Autopsy - Mental Funeral
Dismember - Like an Everflowing Stream
Suffocation - Effigy of the Forgotten

Black metal:

Mayhem - De Mysteriis dom Sathanas
Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Sarcofago - I.N.R.I.
Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane
Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky

and then ask for more

Regarding Agalloch, I'd certainly give them a go, but they're not really where I'd recommend people to start. Most people I know who like Agalloch don't really like black metal. Start with Ashes Against the Grain with them.

Thanks for the list, I shall check them out

I've already listened to songs by Burzum, Mayhem, Leviathan, Xasthur, Windir, Taake, Dark Funeral and a few other random ones. I haven't heard much death metal but the ones I did were random listenings, so I don't remember the names

any fans of 80s hard rock here should check this underrated band out..

I've always enjoyed Michael Schenker's work in UFO and Scorpions, though it's a shame he always comes across as a piece of work.

Hey Guys!

I'd like to listen to some more Black and Death metal, what bands would you suggest I could listen to?

This is one of my favourite black metal albums:


Fen's later material is less raw from a production point of view, their first albums (The Malediction Fields) will probably always be my favourite. Some of the later material is more melodic/quiet and some of it is more aggressive, but it just lacks the charm and defiant atmosphere of the first album.

Also throwing in a bonus track of my friend's band:

I was in the crowd for that recording.

Thank you!
Your friend's band sounds good

That's amazing

The Insurgency track is pretty decent too.

Nespithe's vocals are incredible. I can get why people wouldn't like them, but even so, the instrumentals are close to GOAT death metal standard.

Had to go through so many pages to find this. I got my headphones to work briefly a few weeks ago so I tried out Nespithe...

Wow. Wow wow wow. Once I got over the vocals I enjoyed it so much

One of the comments on the video suggested the band was influenced by a certain Bolt Thrower album, Realm of Chaos I think it was? Should I try that next?


I can't remember where I saw it, but I'm surprised you like any BTBAM at all

Hey guys, just wanted your opinions on my question here:

Should I not listen to a metal band that has racist views because I'm not white?
I feel like I shouldn't be listening to their music because they despise my race, and probably don't want people of other ethnicities listening to their stuff :/

If it upsets them, all the more reason to do so. **** their backward views. However, if you yourself feel uncomfortable listening to the music, that's a different thing - music is supposed to be an enjoyable experience.

Personally (I'm white), I will listen to music which espouses dumb, discriminatory views, but I won't buy it.
