It's been a **** long time since I've posted in here, have some Old Man Gloom

World War Z, it was good, definitely better than I had expected it to be, though I wasn't a huge fan of it

Lifelover are a good DSBM band, I've been digging Erotik a lot

Well, I quickly skimmed over the video. I sort of like it, and I thought that the video was a little odd. Reminds me of the band Katatonia (I listen to a few of their songs), but this song specifically.

Isis being compared to Katatonia, that's not something that I hear everyday, though yeah ISIS videos are definitely kind of weird. The thing that I find cool about that video is that it isn't CGI they're using something that's called FerroFluid, kind of cool to know that it's all live footage. Also I've listened to a bit of Katatonia, I don't mind them, not a personal favorite though they seem to be alright.

From what I heard of Norma Jean, I can't say I like them. However, I'm digging the Alcest.

I figured that you wouldn't like the Norma Jean stuff, so I dropped that Alcest song there, cause I'm that generous, and I figured that you'd like them. You like ISIS bro? They're another favorite band of mine.

As I said before, it's hard to explain. I can like one genre of metal, like one band who plays that type of metal, but not another who plays the same thing. There is a common connection, but it's hard to express in words.

I say serious because that's what comes to mind when I try to think of words. I could mean serious as by either tone, originality, or even something completely different.

And I never objectively stated that it's not taking itself seriously, only that I felt like that it wasn't. The people who are making the music are (or at least I would assume) very serious while making and playing the music. Again, it's me unable to put the reason why I don't like a particular song into coherent words. Heck, I know of I few songs that I like that are similar in style (or even apart of the same genre), but for some reason this song doesn't stick out. In other words, play style probably isn't playing that much of a role in the factoring (or it is, but I'm just underestimating it).

Well at least I have an idea of what you're going at, the reason why I like Metalcore/Mathcore is because well....in my really young years I listened to a lot of Pop Punk, which had lead me over to Post-Punk and Hardcore Punk when I was older, so it would make sense that I'd move onto Metalcore/Mathcore when I was getting into the heavier stuff since that stuff has a bit of a background influence from Punk, so basically it's just the sound that I've been used to all my life. As for Black Metal, I have no idea how I got into that stuff, I guess I just listened to it and surprisingly liked the sound of it. Sludge Metal kind of has a background from Hardcore vocals so that's kind of how I was able to get into that stuff, and the same thing goes for Post-Metal.

Though anyways I'm excited for the new Norma Jean album

Also posting some Alcest here

Donnie Darko

Pulp Fiction

Reservoir Dogs

Django: Unchained

Pan's Labyrinth

Akira

Inglorious Basterds

Nausicaa: Of the Valley of the Wind

And that's all that I can think of

Also, could I interest you two in some Folk/Viking metal?

Not my type, though I'll be open minded

Honestly, I don't aim for metal bands that are attempting to be hardcore. I can't find words to put it, but the best way (and most general) is that I like metal that is more on the serious side/takes itself seriously. The metalcore/grindcore stuff usually doesn't appeal to me in that regard, as I feel that it's just not really being serious.

They don't attempt to be hardcore, they just are influenced by it or cross the two together, there's a difference, though I don't seem to get your point on the whole "it's not taking itself seriously" thing, though I can get why you wouldn't like it for the sound of that type of stuff.

It seems that you're into the more darker side of metal.

Eh, I guess you could say that. I tend to listen to genres that are more hardcore based, though somehow I was able to get into Black Metal, especially Depressive Black, Atmospheric BM is alright depending on the band.

From your list, I recognize Austere, Pelican, Darkthrone, and Woods of Desolation. The others, not so much.

Well at least you recognize some of them, though you don't even know my favorite Metal band, CONVERGE

I doubt that you'd be f an of them, though I might as well leave a song by them anyways.
