I absolutely love how many elements this song blends together. Electronic chorus, metal-core verse, power ballad bridge, thrash metal, then just a brutal ending. Chef’s kiss on this one.
What is your favorite metal song that you just can’t share with your non-metal friends?
Yeah 🤘
My favorite music as of late is Sleep. Headphones recommended.
Recently I like me some classic Grand Magus.
Finally, my normal friends just can’t appreciate Bears!
Sleep and (old) Grand Magus, heck yeah! What do you think of Electric Wizard, if I might ask? Dopethrone is the heaviest album of all time, in my unimportant opinion.
Doom metal, yeah I like it all
The pure heaviest album all time is, I think, Satan Worshipping Doom… Bongripper - Worship
It’s a good one for sure! I’ll put a link too in the hope of luring some more people in Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
Also, I forgot to mention Acoustic Wizard, the equally awesome EW cover band
Dude if you haven’t already, check out Sleep’s other project OM. The first three albums are other worldly. Lots of meditative aspects to their music which I think works incredibly with the doom metal style droning guitars and slower tempo.
Yeah I like OM, and High On Fire too. But Sleep is something special. Hope to see them live one day.
I just checked them out on Spotify and their discography is hilariously messed up
Nice pick! My favorite metal is folk and/or symphonic influenced:
Nine Treasures - Bodhicitta
Flesh Juicer - 虎爺
Krampus - Tears of Stone
Aephanemer - Dissonance Within
waves
Micro-aggressions by animals as leaders is fucking nuts, but everyone looks st me funny when I play it
I like a lot of what I consider ‘classic’ metal, which I hope is not offensive. Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Dio, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin. I like a lot of nu metal too, I hope that doesn’t get me banned.
I’d like to try more, I think it’s just the extreme varieties I can’t really get into.
Ideally, I’d love it if we curbed the gatekeeping and “nu metal isn’t metal” circlejerk here before it has a chance to start
Long time metalhead here, refugee from reddit, ofc. I’ve never listened to Veil of Maya before, but I dug this track, so thanks for sharing. Personally I’m a big fan of classic, symphonic, and power metal, but I enjoy plenty of stuff in other sub-genres as well, depends on my mood. Glad to be here, and glad there are other metalheads around.
