thanks for the tunes! i enjoyed them
harlekin i kind of like, but not crazy about the other band. actually never heard of them, but i skimmed through these two songs and i dont think its quite my flavor... i did like the second song much more though! harlekin comes up in my spotify rotation sometimes. usually songs from that album too. they are pretty dope.
i used to be way fmore open to metal until i got into slam. every since then every other metal band else just sounds like im listening to a kids bop album where they rewrote and watered down a bunch of metal songs.
i kind of hate bc slam is just the same thing over and over again lol. but it has a rawness about it, a no bullshit, no frills, very minimal effects, no shiny outer layer. just that raw, smashmouth feel to it. i dont know how to explain it, i jsut know it when i hear it...
which is why cold hard truth was so appealing to me. it actually sounds more like slam to me, just a little different, and apparently thats called "beatdown hardcore" or whatever (i kind of hate all the sub genre names... its all just metal to me lol, but at the same time i get it). heres another band that has that "it" factor for me... kind of old school... i think this album is from 99 but it still hits hard, and i think they are still around too. thats the other thing, sometimes i dont want the recording to be nice and shiny either. i like a little bit of dirtyness to the sound. anyway, you may have heard them before, but here it is: internal bleeding (fromt he album Driven to Conquer)
and another: parasitic ejaculation
and one of the "holy grails" of underground death metal has been (well, for me at least)
dying fetus: reign supreme
. this is reignited my love for metal and is pretty much responsible for me getting into death metal/slam. this album is striaght up some of the best metal ive ever heard. they just fucking nailed it with this one. im sure you heard it already. but for anyone out there who hasnt, you got to. its as close as a "classic" as you can get without going back to cannibal corpse and slayer. in the trenches is my fav from the album... just look at that album art, so fucking beast... all i know is this album still reigns supreme for me
so i dunno man. thats the best that i can show/explain what im into. i kind of never know until i hear it. and im alwasy looking for something a little different, but still heavy, like cold hard truth. thansk again for the suggestions! keep em coming im always looking for new metals
