The other heavy metal music.

Trying like hell to remember the name of the band or song. It was definitely deathcore and I remember the video. It was an animation of an individual in a spacesuit that was broke free of a ship and sort of launched through some space time continuum. It reminded me so much of the movie Interstellar and several comments said the same.

Anyway, one more.

I always thought Kratic was to Gojira like Four Questions Marks is to Meshuggah.

Kratic - Kindom Of I

Gojira.... aren’t they a band from Europe .... pretty sure I saw them with slipknot 18-24 months ago!!!
I’ll have to go back and look at the pictures I took... I took one of the bands name to remember them because they sounded so good!!!

Yup, France. They were at Red Rocks this summer. I didn't find out until the night before so we missed out. Had us wondering how they pulled that off in the middle of this pandemic. Mario is awesome to see in person.
 
Metal out of Denmark and Sweden appease me more often than not. I do not recall ever hearing of Misophonia. They don't appear to describe themselves as cybermetal, though I would likely put them in that category.

Misophonia - Disintegration

I smell some Vildhjarta hooks here. I love the smell of Vildhjarta hooks.

Reminds me of slipknot before they started to suck.

Plus the singer has a tramp stamp, so Greg should like that:flipoff2:

Finally got to watch the set. Interesting characters, to say the least. I do hear cues from early Slipknot, Korn, American Head Charge.

Yeah, interesting is the best way to say it. I started chuckling when I saw the tramp stamp. And apparently the singer got arrested for taking a swing at a security guard who was trying to pull him down off of some rafters he was hanging from a while back. They are definitely on my list of bands to watch out for, hopefully they keep making good new nu metal. I’ll always have a soft spot for that genre

Right? I had my metal up full volume with earbuds any time I could while working construction. When I did, my production was at least four fold. I did all the sheet aluminum work wrapping doors and windows with stuff like Tesseract. For some badass reason, my measurements, cuts, bends, etc. were super quick and precise with polyrhythmic music.

I'm three songs in to Widowmaker and must know... where the hell did you find this band? So oddly satisfying. I'm still trying to figure out if that's a dude performing some guttural noise, if somebody is squishing a bullfrog, or if it's a wooden instrument played in manner never played before.

Edit: I see they're from Germany which explains a lot.

Found them on a trip down a rabbit hole on yootube.
They define their music as banjo slam.
The vocals are strange but I dig their music.
 
Since we're in the trash/black metal mode tonight - Really got into these guys while a co-worker and I worked graveyard at a gas station and we both had a thing for nasty metal. He played the skins and I the strings, though we never tore it up together.

The Foresaken - Force Fed Repentance

Up and coming young dudes in the KC area that an online acquaintance has been keeping up on for a while. Fair amount of Gojira/Kratic influence.

Hammerhedd - Essence Of Iron (LP)

In the mood to revive this one a little with something somewhat on topic.

My boys are 4 and 6. At their age, I remember that I would often get curious about this and that 33, cassette or 8-track. Anything that sounded darker or heavier than my last discovery would have me looking for more. Back then, of course, it was everything from 60's to 80's rock - stuff that was hard back then. Any time I listened to the hardest I had heard, I felt like I might be scorned by adults that disapproved of my interest in such stuff. But since my early teens, I've been into stuff that was too heavy for most everyone I knew.

Back to the kids - they will get upset if I have anything other than heavy metal playing. No joke. I can put on some Koronal or Chelsea Grin and they're happy as clams. Wouldn't this make to wonder where music is headed next? Could it get any heavier? Will it become no more than white noise with subsonic bass notes? What do you guys, as metalheads, envision your kids turning the volume up for?

Since I hadn't put them in yet, some Chelsea Grin.

Unfortunately i think we are right at the end of discovery in music. It's already begun, they're already starting to remake music in the mainstream. It's much like Hollywood imo. All part of the entertainment industry. We, being metal heads, are a few years behind the mainstream, but it will follow suit soon enough. Our kids will likely listen to the songs we enjoy, but by a remake artist. The originality is just about used up, and this is how we know society is about to change in a major way.. :tinfoil:
 
The nerds have already figured out what sounds, beats and rhythms stimulate our brains... in pop music they’re already milking the masses for their $$$!!!!
One thing that saves any alternative music is that, they dgaf about the $$$ (or at least the music is higher on the list)!!!!
Second thing is, the alternative music fans are different as well.... JNH, you just pointed it out.... we’re not just happy consumers.... we want more.... we dig into the weeds of the music, the band, the musicians, where they’re from, why they are here...... If the band has good sound, that’s just the start... they better have more..... they have to live the life..... if they so much as sniff pop stardom, $$$ grubbing, fame outside their genre, the fans will sniff that shit out early and that band will be discarded!!!!
So in a nutshell..... Wall Street can’t tame metal!!!!
and metal can’t dupe the fans!!!

Thanks for bumping this..... it always leads me to digging up another band out of here!!!!
:cheers: guys!!!
 
Sterling elaborated on a thought that I've been somewhat afraid of for a few years. I'm sure a new style or two will emerge within the next few years. Probably nothing as luminous as what we've experienced over the last few generations. The last few years have been mixtures of what already existed. Some better than others. Metal certainly advanced to the summit of heavy - at least of what I can fathom.

Couldn't have said it any better myself, Greg. There was always an authenticity about what was alternative. Despite every note being compiled in an editing software, nowadays, metal was one of the few that was still put together with physical instruments. Kinda why I've always held a spot for classical as well.

On that note - I saw Dal Av released a new album yesterday and I just got around to listening to it tonight. Kinda touches on what Sterling mentioned about originality being close to used up. Heavy, but lacking something.

Dal Av - Into The Fray

A little to add to yesterday's discussion. I don't necessarily post these with the expectation of everyone liking each band or song. Similarly to what Greg explained, us metalheads know that there are matrices of rabbit holes that lead us to the various facets of din. If there's just one riff in a song that tickles one's fancy, you know that eventually sends a person searching. When another goes for a deeper listen because of what you shared, even if it's on a tangent, then a metalhead's job is well-done.

Had my Oontz speaker next to me while welding, playing a few gems from my phone. Finished welding and stepped into the house with my music still playing the song I'm posting. My youngest asked, "Dad, can you keep that music turned up?"
