Why do you keep saying this "new" screaming thing? Death Metal is classic. Napalm Death, Morbid Angle, Obituary, Death and 100s more. Heavy dark sounding music needs heavy dark vocals. You obviously just are not listing to the right bands because the modern metal bands i listen to are very creative. Listen to Opeth or Between The Buried And Me, and tell me they are not creative. You are making the most general statements i have ever heard. The problem here is you don't listen to good metal.
@DrummerMetalBoy Well dude, general statements are all I'm trying to make here. I listen to a lot of newer bands too, I'm not trying to say it's all bad. I mean, yeah, the screaming vocal style has been around for like twenty years or so, that's partially the point. Bands have been abusing it for so long that I personally don't have any emotional reaction to it anymore. It'd be one thing if bands used it every once in a while, but I don't see the point of EVERYONE doing it ALL THE TIME.
you want creativity... Hmmm you think metallica came up with anything creative "metalwise". Honestly you outgrew it. Death metal is more than what ypu cnt understand.
Not true everyone does it t jump on the bad wagon. If tha was the case we all would be doing hip hop or dub step. The undeground is also a trend within a trend.
This is my opinion. Your main complaint is about generic and expected. But didnt you just mention metallica, megadeth and acdc????? The most generic fucking bands in metal???? I expect these guys to do an album just like the last. Same in any genera or sub genera of metal. Valid points, but seriously dude, I expect someone who doesnt lsten to generic shit to make these statements
@megaboxxx Lol, mention Metallica twice and everyone thinks you're a hardcore Metallica fan. Gotta love the internet. Anyway, you're missing my point. Yes, AC/DC sticks to the same style, but no one else really sounds like them(aside from bands that've tried to copy them). That's despite playing some of the most simplistic music you can imagine. That's what I mean by character.
Take the song "The Grudge" from Tool for instance. When Maynard does the long epic scream at the end of the song it sends chills down my spine. What made the scream stand out was the fact that he wasnt just incoherently screaming the whole song, but actually singing like a singer should. I cant recall many memorable vocal moments in death or black metal like that. 90% of the time you cant even hear what they're saying anyway. I def agree that the vocalist is a huge aspect of what separate bands.
Haha this guy is 100% right. The screaming has become a joke. I like a little bit but it has to be mixed up with some singing, otherwise it just all sounds the same. Fuck death, black, and grind. Enough of this shit.
i understand your standpoint on how the scene is with the newer bands, but there are some diamonds worth listening to skullfist and white wizzard are some of them
Heavy Metal sucks, the only thing it has going for it is the fact that they play the music really fast so obviously you have to be really talented at playing the electric guitar and drums, but other than that it is not particularly innovative or interesting. It lacks the diversity and authenticity and soul of other types of music like soul, R&B, ambient, folk music, alternative rock, and world music. Listen to Mum, Deep Forest, Brian Eno, Hammock, Bjork, John Legend, Jamiroquai
@gatheringleaves Eh, well dude, you have a right to your opinion. But the way your saying this stuff makes it sound like you're just trying to provoke people.
@TheLucasleddy Lol, oh come on, dude. You know the difference between opinion and fact. Don't go worshipping your own opinion like everybody else on the internet. But you do bring up an interesting question. Why is it important if something is mainstream or not? Does it really make a difference how popular something is? Cause that's the furthest thing from my mind when I'm listening to music. I just wanna hear something good.
so i'm guessing your only talking about death metal? cause there are aton of bands that add singing and the screams aren't just low pitched growls. Bands like Blessthefall,Motionless In White, Miss may I, Killswitch Engage, Bullet for my valentine, Asking Alexandria, I could go on but I for one hate Death Metal. Bands like Judas Priest and Black Sabbath, i don't like them, I don't like there sound or there vocals but that's just my opinion.
@aburiedprophettv Nooooooo, not just death metal. I don't care for the vocals in death metal, but some of the things I talked about in this video don't apply to it at all. I would say metalcore is mostly the main thing I'm talking about.
@thejesman Ever hear about crust punk? Chech out His Hero Is Gone, Ambeix and Hellbastard. The vocals tend to be more of a hardcore punk shout, so you might be able to get into it easier.
I know what youre trying to say, but not all metal these days is just anti-commercial and poser shit. If you know where to look, Metal these days actually is pretty good. Bands like Bring Me The Horizon and All Time Low are "metal" that totally sucks. Bands like Trivium and Throwdown and Taking Dawn are an example of metal today that is pretty awesome.
@93thejackal Yeah, and I kinda wish I said that in the video. Lol, I did come across too much like a classic metal snob. But yeah, I do like a lot of newer metal bands. I'm a big fan of Electric Wizard for one.
This video is aimed at bands like Bring Me The Horizon.... but most Metal bands these days are inspired by band like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest,and Danzig. Metalcore and Death Metal requires just as much talent as Old School metal, but it falls down to whether or not a certain band can pull it off. Bands like Trivium and Bullet For My Valentine can pull it off, but Bring Me The Horizon can't.
i think there is a lot of new input by in the new "djent"-bands, if you ever heard of; lot of stuff they're doing was nearly nonexistent ten years ago, exspecially i rhythm; if you don't search you don't find
This comment is towards the other commenters.. just because you don't like something doesn't mean that it should stop existing and that people should stop listening. Just because a "shitty" band means nothing to you doesn't mean that for somebody else. Personally I don't give a shit about whether or not a band is actually "metal" or has real talent, I just like what I like. I don't care about how "talented" a band is, I'm not going to listen to it if I fucking hate it.
i used to think like that xD i didnt like death/black metal, because like you said, i didn't understand, but then i started listening the pioneers, and some new bands, and its funny that now death metal is one of my fav. subgenres ('cuz it gets me pumped), but yet, i do know that now most sound the same and its actually difficult to dig new bands for the same reason
though, some are just plain fun to hear :D and i really like the growls (even though its not "singing")
dude, i totally agree with you. I hate all of this screamo bullshit. My favorite band is Dream Theater and i cant stand metalcore or anything with core. Deathcore, hardcore, rapcore. etc. It isnt brutal at all, It is actually pathetic and stupid. It isn't talent at all. I mean some know how to "scream" or "growl" right. No one has talent in vocals these days. If they sing it is really whinny
I thought this was just gonna be another lame troll video but wow this was actually a very well thought out rant. I personally love death metal and some metalcore but I can understand why some people aren't into it. However you should have titled the video as "why I hate death metal" not "metal sucks" because that gives people the wrong impression. And not all modern metal is just death metal you should check out power metal bands like Kamelot, Blind Guardian, or Symphony X I think you'd like em
Death metal new trend thing? Morbid Angel, Master 1983. Death 1984...etc
Brutal music needs brutal vocals. And when a person is expressing himself, only 5% is from words he is saying. Much of it is how he is saying, and that's the part you don't understand. Your imitation proves that right. You can't hear it. Maybe you should drop listening to metal because you don't recognize emotions. Let me tell you. Metal is about emotion. And you are crying about "I don't understand the lyrics". Buy a book
@Keppana78 Oy, another guy that didn't read the info box. Seriously man, how many annotations do I need to make? Lol, and it cracks me up how many people take my dumb, little vocal parody literally.
Look dude, I got nothing against death metal musically. But it's 20 years old like you said, and they're still doing this same vocal idea they've always done. It's hard to feel any emotion from something when you've heard it so many times.
tually took the time to listen to some of these songs and see how different they clearly are instead of banging your head on your desk, you'd see how different rhey clearly are. LEARN YOUR MUSICAL theory , them you'll see why my statements are valid, ignorant people shouldn't argue, so just stop also just so you know I am also a big fan of Metallica and Black Sabbath
You sir are an idiot. A band's character is not determined solely by the lyricist but all the others as well. All musicians have their own style or way of playing, what you implied is that id you put a jonas brother next to alexi laiho of children of Bodom, you couldnt hear how superior Alexi clearly is and how different he plays. Death metal was created to put the lyrics a bit to the back as the other instruments got more complex, overtaking the lyrics in the melidy and harmony. Also if you ac
@UltraHerpz Lol dude...you COMPLETELY missed the point I'm trying to make. Did I even mention lyrics in this video? What I'm saying here has a lot more to do with metalcore than death metal. I usually respect what death metal bands are doing musically, I just think the vocals get redundant. You might wanna actually talk to a person before you go calling them idiots and making random Jonas brother references. I have no idea what point you were trying to make with that.
You have awesome taste in music, but you forgot iron maiden in your list. I for one enjoy black metal bands. Like behemoth etc. But i'm not exactly a huge fan of death metal and i HATE screamo.
@thejesman The band Revocation is a good metal band, they still have growled vocals but it's more like normal vocals mixed with growls. Plus they have a heavy jazz influence and it really makes them sound completely original.
@VitalSigns1 I'd say it fits the ugliness of the music and lyrics. I mean, when you've got dong titles like "They Smeared Shit On Their Dkin So They Could Blend In At Night", the vocals need to be ugly and wretched.
you do have a point. but you say that these bands are trying to be like everyone else.. but isnt singing clean classic metal vocals technically trying to be like all the other old singers? also not all death metal is exactly the same.. and please for the love god stop basing everything off of metallica. yes they rock. no they are not the cornerstone of metal. im not trying to disagree, you have a strong point. but saying all death metal is the same is kind of arrogant
@givesic Lol, I'm not trying to say all death metal is the same, I'm trying to say most metalcore is the same. Death metal is just I don't like the vocals. And I'm not sure how I'm basing everything off Metallica, I remember mentioning them twice maybe.
I mean, I'm not trying to say we should go backwards, or that modern metals singers shouldn't sound aggressive or anything. I just feel like the whole extreme metal vocal style has gotten kinda tired.
@misanthropyeternal Well dude, when you go calling people wanksters and telling them their opinion isn't valid and all that, that sounds like picking a fight to me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to drive you away or anything. I think it's cool you like to hang around here, but I don't want this to be one of those places where people do the typical internet fighting thing.
@daleva187goligo You are probably one of these retarded 1%'er militant Muslim, what with that Jew comment. You are thus a racist and a complete tool. You mad bro?
@VitalSigns1 What a bullshit postulation. I listen to Diamondhead and Angelwitch and can also enjoy Sargeist and Drawn And Quartered. Pull thine head from thou ass, good sir.
So you don't like Death Metal. Well who gives a damn! i like it but not everybody have to like it. It's good to see someone who explains why they dislike it and saying with a good tone... not like many others that are like. " ughh dis is sooo baad dis sux!" adn if you ask them why they are mostly saying like this: " cuz this is wut faggots listen to" So i give you creds man! And in most cases people who listens to Death Metal usually listens to many different badn in the whole metal genre ;).
[ I had to make a part II for this one since I'am too much of a coward to post a video response! ]
But when I started listening to metal I began listening to Dark Moor and Elvenking, stuff like that.
Powermetal. It's all good and so but I kinda wanted something more out of the music and that's where heavier vocals came in and from there I jumped onto the death metal train (by the way Metalcore is by far not the same thing)
I guess what I want to say is that sometimes growling is needed.
@Raginghobbitz That's cool, man. I think the key word there is "sometimes". To me, a lot of it feels too much like EVERYONE doing it ALL THE TIME. If it were more of a sometimes thing, I don't think I'd have an issue with it. As it is, it just gets redundant.
Hey, You're entitled to your opinion no question about that but I disagree with you on several points.
For starters the growling that you talk about doesn't really make a band unoriginal, I know of several bands (which I can link if you are interested) where the singers make us of growl and you still get a good grip about what they are singing about.
Also, I've listened to metal for quite a few years, I'm 19 so I haven't been around since it all started I am aware of that............
Wow. No one cares if you get the point. You generalize every modern metal band by pantomiming a zombie noise. You cite no examples. Just because you think vocals are more important than the music doesn't mean they are. No new ideas? No ingenuity? Seriously, what fucking bands are you listening to. Also Metallica fucking sucks. Check out their sweet album with Lou Reed. There's some vocals for you. Youd like that lame ass shit.
I can understand what you mean in a certain sense, but if you derive away from the "core" bands and shit, distorted vocals can be used in a great way. There's two ways to go, either distorted or clean vocals. Just because you sing clean doesn't mean you won't make a same sounding song or have different lyrics...
@MMEggman I agree, I hear a lot of "clean" singers who do the same thing. But I dislike the distinction between clean singing and distorted singing, I feel like that oversimplifies things. The way I look at it, you can sing with your own voice, or you can try to imitate someone else's. And to me, it seems like there's way too many imitators out there.
@thejesman I know what you mean though, i've been seeing a lot of local bands who may as well have played the same song for the whole set or if I look up a band that's gonna be at a metal club one night and they end up just sounding generic. I'm a vocalist for a metal band and I do distorted but i'm trying my hardest to push my own sound through it and making sure that the words are audible. But yeah.
Personally I'd have to say that the people who only listen to black/death metal are posers. The real metalheads listen to CLASSIC heavy metal. Extreme metal is just a bunch of shit.
Personally I'd have to say that the people who only listen to black/death metal are posers. The real metalheads listen to CLASSIC heavy metal. Extreme metal is just a bunch of shit.
@VitalSigns1 I just feel like I care a lot more about music than whether somebody's "posing" or whatever. I don't see the point of calling someone a poser. It's like, how do people have room in their heads to care about that sorta thing?
@thejesman Like you I care very much about good music. There are people who are only into metal for gimmick and they're the ones making shitty music and ruining it. I call this posing. Look I'm one of your biggest supporters. It would be unwise for you to attack me.
@VitalSigns1 Lol, not attacking, dude, just talking. I'm not gonna worry myself about people "posing" or whatever, it feels like a waste of energy to me. I just wanna hear something good.
I respect you for having an opinion, I I have read the description and I know what you are trying to say, but, a lot of death metal fans dont listen to death metal because they are trying to be different. Its because they like the music. I've been listening to death metal since I was 14, mainly Death and Cannibal Corpse. Im also a huge Thrash and Heavy metal fan, I love all the bands you mentioned. But the gutteral vocals ARE the symbol of death metal, similar to the way you explained ZZ Top...
Okay, people are having a hard time understanding what music I'm talking about here. I'm not talking death metal or metalcore or any specific genre. I'm talking about generic, same-sounding metal bands that refuse to sing. I don't take the labels seriously, and neither should you. They're just adjectives. you could of jus spelled it right retard what like you dont have a brain is that it you have brain damage thats why you fucking people cuss all the time your all fucking stupid people
then this should be flaged if its not copyed right stupid Yes, I know death metal started in the 80s. Yes, I know who Death is, and no, I don't have a problem with them. In fact, I respect them for being pioneers, and all others who've had a significant influence on the genre. It's people that play watered down copies of that music that I don't like. "All death metal is bad" is NOT the point of this video.
I am aware that death metal and black metal has different vocals. I'm also annoyed that each of those genres need the same vocals for every band in the genre. If you can describe a singer's vocal style in one word, then that's a major problem for me.
oh come really your reallly stupid Again, this isn't about your favorite band from the 80s or 90s. This is about the metal scene in general as it exists today.
I am also a huge metalfan but, yes i agree... death/black metal is only a continuously grrrrrrr with no existance of a good rhythm and a "clear" sound..
we all respect each others opinion.I love Death Metal and you dislike it,hey cool man the most important thing is that you still like Thrash metal SLAYER!!! :D
fuk metal and fuk rock music... all of it is stupid as hell, meaningless talentless retarded evil devil worshiping loud annoying white cracker noise... useless shit, it has no place anywhere, get rid of it... grown men (clowns) lookin like girls with long hair and tight jeans and clothes, hmm remind u of anything?? hahahaha GAY!!!!! so fuck all u faggots that listen to that shit, slit your wrist while listening to that evil shit n rott in hell u homosexual faggot ass bitches!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA XD
Dude you're so pathetic. Just because YOU don't know anything about brutal music and can't tell death metal songs apart, doesn't mean that they all sound the same. Yes, they're all brutal and loud, but no man's growl is the same as another's, they might be similar, but not exactly the same. Also, most of the bands share the same opinions and ideals, but this doesn't make them identical. And a last thing: If this music is too hard for your delicate ears, then you don't deserve to be a metalhead.
@00darkrai00 If I thought it sounded brutal, that'd be a different story. A lot of it's just boring for me. Not all of it, but a lot. I love metal, but Jesus, a person can only listen to the same metalcore song so many times.
@thejesman That's true, but, for God's sake, it's not the same... Anyway, I was too harsh before, but the thing I was trying to say is that not all death (& black) metal songs sound the same. If you pay attention to the music and analyse it you'll get my point.
@00darkrai00 That's true, metalcore's the main thing I'm criticizing. With death metal, it's mostly just the vocals. Musically, I think it's amazing a lot of the time, but the vocals get redundant for me.
@thejesman. Yeah, it is pretty boring when you see and hear a bunch of bands doing the same thing, but it's nice to know that some people in bands realize that too, so they try to differ themselves from everyone else and find a unique way to stand out. Those are the bands I give the most respect to, the ones that don't copy what every other band is doing.
What your saying is useless, sorry. 30 years ago people was saying the same about (insert bandname). Point is, your confused. If you think you know how and why everyone does what they do, you dont even understand why you do what you do yourself. This is realy narrow minded. What your saying to all these bands, your actually saying to yourself. Clearly you have lost your imagination and creativity. Again, there has always been ppl saying what your saying.
@damienkurast Lol dude, can you explain what you're saying? You're kind of all over the place. I mean, if you're into metalcore or whatever, it's cool, it's not a big deal. Listen to whatever you wanna listen to. I just had some things on my mind one night and wanted to express them. Not like I knew this thing was gonna be watched like nine thousand times.
@thejesman I know :) and as you welcomed debate in your video, i thought i'd say what i had on MY mind :)
okay, what im saying is. You seem to forget your own words "ITS AN OPINION" in your video when you time and time again dismiss alot of bands, not as genres you dont personally like, but as bad altogether. You say they arent kreative and so. Their just copying others. Im saying every band.... pretty much, is copying something else. Something they like and for you to....
@thejesman ... dismiss it as bad non creative music seems abit self centered. Im not saying you are :) but in this rambling you come across that way. I feel this kind of music with every fiber of my body. Been playin it for years. Nothing ive ever felt compares to the feeling i get from it. I dont judge ppl for not liking it. In fact i understand, but when ppl say its creatively bad, i so obviusly know their wrong. To me no other genres can cut it.
@damienkurast Hey man, that's cool. I mean, I admit I came across more aggressively than I really meant to. Sometimes, I get a little carried away when I'm recording these things. Of course all artists borrow ideas. But my opinion is, the really great bands are able to add something to the music that's uniquely their own rather than just following their influences. And to me, it feels like not enough bands do that. Not all of them are like that, but a good percentage of them are.
@thejesman Your right, there is ofc bands that are... less inspiring. Maybe they are stil evolving, stil learning or maybe their brain is just put together in a way that does not "promote" strong creativity. That said im sure their doing the best they can with what they have and so it dosent realy make sence to say "they should be more creative". But... you could catch me on a bad day badmouthing music i dont get, so i aint better myself :) The point is stil valid tho.
@WheresTheFridge182 not all of it is like that... thats just the corporations making them do that and act stupid, it's the higher ups (jews) giving them money and encouraging them to act stupid so to keep the population dumb, if u knew what real hip hop was then u would eat all those words in your comment... so go fuck yourself with your devil horns and have a nice day hahahahah XD metalhead faggot
@SineNomine0 Yeah, and that's why I hate genres. I mean, you keep breaking down the different styles, you eventually reach a point where you're putting restrictions on creativity. It's like, why can't metal just be metal?
@thejesman how do you feel about the large group of non-deathmetal influenced metal? Like municipal waste, bonded by blood, white wizard, ghost, and pentagram?
I mean, I'm at the pretty much the same place you are with this mall metalcore bullshit, but there's still a lot of good stuff being put out.
@generik88 Oh yeah, I actually really like a lot of the metal that's not a part of what I'm talking about here. I'm especially into the stoner/doom metal genre in general. Freaking Electric Wizard, dude.
Did you ever think about (just guessing here) that maybe in a couple of years (10 - 20) these bands will eventually evolve, and have their own sound. Look back on how thrash started, wouldn't you agree that the majority of the bands sounded very similar, that everyone was trying to do it, and now, they've all come to have their own unique sounds and playing styles. Also this is coming from a huge lover of thrash metal, so not hating at all.
@Chryosoar Well really, I think metal's already evolved a bit since I recorded this. I've noticed a lot more progressive bands are becoming popular like Mastodon obviously, Baroness, Periphery, Animals as Leaders, etc. And hell, I can't remember the last time I heard anyone say anything good about metalcore. So in all honesty, I think this video's already become a little outdated.
Deathcore/Metalcore is nothing more than Hungarian scale riffing in Drop C or B, chugging, bs solos and shite screams. If you want a good modern Metal band, listen to Trivium on the album The Crusade. Or listen to Soul Sanctuary maybe even. Disturbed are coo too. If you're referencing Asking Alexandria or Suicide Silence, then I completely agree with you, they all sound the same with no originality. One or 2 songs are cool but after that, change the channel, lol. Oh, and /v\ETALLIC/-\ FTW!
Motörhead, Slayer, ACDC, Metallica...well, although they were and still are the grand masters of our genre, they have became too , lets call it, "mainstream". I know it sounds like blasphemy, but let me explain: Mainstream in the sense, that every asshole on this world claims to listen to them. Especially Metallica...And how can I know if you are a real metalhead o a pseudo-Metalhead? Whats the Problem with growling? Atleast i like your opinion: Metalcore sucks! Completely!
@DaedricMetal Lol dude, that sorta thing is seriously like the furthest thing from my mind when I'm listening to music. I'm not interested in whether a band's famous or not, I just wanna hear something good. I honestly don't get why so many people find that stuff so important. No offense, but I got bigger things on my mind than whether some random dude on the internet is a "real metalhead". That's the sorta thing kids care about.
@thejesman ok, you didn't understand me or I did explain it in a weird way(I'am sorry, English is not my mothertongue.) I didn't mean "real metalhead" in the way Manowar means it. For example, my sister likes ACDC too. But she would never calssify herself as a Metalhead and would confirm your opinion, that Deathmetal sucks. But she would say this, because she's not that deep into this topic and can't have the knowledge, the feeling and the enthusiasm to make such a general declaration
@DaedricMetal Well, I kinda figured you meant something like that. All I can say is I listen to guitar-based music everyday, sometimes for several hours in a row. And metal is a big portion of that. There's metal that I like, and there's metal that I don't like. This video's just about certain trends that I don't care for.
@thejesman Ok. The point is...who are you, or who am I to declare which music sucks and which doesn't? It depends on the point of view...So, what was your motivation to post this video? What was your intention? If you ask me, it was predictable, that you would only atract haters...;)
@TheLucasleddy Listen to Atheist and Agalloch, then get back to me, m'kay?

@DrummerMetalBoy Well dude, general statements are all I'm trying to make here. I listen to a lot of newer bands too, I'm not trying to say it's all bad. I mean, yeah, the screaming vocal style has been around for like twenty years or so, that's partially the point. Bands have been abusing it for so long that I personally don't have any emotional reaction to it anymore. It'd be one thing if bands used it every once in a while, but I don't see the point of EVERYONE doing it ALL THE TIME.

This is my opinion. Your main complaint is about generic and expected. But didnt you just mention metallica, megadeth and acdc????? The most generic fucking bands in metal???? I expect these guys to do an album just like the last. Same in any genera or sub genera of metal. Valid points, but seriously dude, I expect someone who doesnt lsten to generic shit to make these statements
megaboxxx 1 day ago
@megaboxxx Lol, mention Metallica twice and everyone thinks you're a hardcore Metallica fan. Gotta love the internet. Anyway, you're missing my point. Yes, AC/DC sticks to the same style, but no one else really sounds like them(aside from bands that've tried to copy them). That's despite playing some of the most simplistic music you can imagine. That's what I mean by character.

Take the song "The Grudge" from Tool for instance. When Maynard does the long epic scream at the end of the song it sends chills down my spine. What made the scream stand out was the fact that he wasnt just incoherently screaming the whole song, but actually singing like a singer should. I cant recall many memorable vocal moments in death or black metal like that. 90% of the time you cant even hear what they're saying anyway. I def agree that the vocalist is a huge aspect of what separate bands.

Heavy Metal sucks, the only thing it has going for it is the fact that they play the music really fast so obviously you have to be really talented at playing the electric guitar and drums, but other than that it is not particularly innovative or interesting. It lacks the diversity and authenticity and soul of other types of music like soul, R&B, ambient, folk music, alternative rock, and world music.

so i'm guessing your only talking about death metal? cause there are aton of bands that add singing and the screams aren't just low pitched growls. Bands like Blessthefall,Motionless In White, Miss may I, Killswitch Engage, Bullet for my valentine, Asking Alexandria, I could go on but I for one hate Death Metal. Bands like Judas Priest and Black Sabbath, i don't like them, I don't like there sound or there vocals but that's just my opinion.

I know what youre trying to say, but not all metal these days is just anti-commercial and poser shit. If you know where to look, Metal these days actually is pretty good.

This video is aimed at bands like Bring Me The Horizon.... but most Metal bands these days are inspired by band like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest,and Danzig. Metalcore and Death Metal requires just as much talent as Old School metal, but it falls down to whether or not a certain band can pull it off. Bands like Trivium and Bullet For My Valentine can pull it off, but Bring Me The Horizon can't.

This comment is towards the other commenters.. just because you don't like something doesn't mean that it should stop existing and that people should stop listening. Just because a "shitty" band means nothing to you doesn't mean that for somebody else. Personally I don't give a shit about whether or not a band is actually "metal" or has real talent, I just like what I like. I don't care about how "talented" a band is, I'm not going to listen to it if I fucking hate it.

Brutal music needs brutal vocals. And when a person is expressing himself, only 5% is from words he is saying. Much of it is how he is saying, and that's the part you don't understand. Your imitation proves that right. You can't hear it. Maybe you should drop listening to metal because you don't recognize emotions. Let me tell you. Metal is about emotion. And you are crying about "I don't understand the lyrics". Buy a book

But when I started listening to metal I began listening to Dark Moor and Elvenking, stuff like that.
Powermetal. It's all good and so but I kinda wanted something more out of the music and that's where heavier vocals came in and from there I jumped onto the death metal train (by the way Metalcore is by far not the same thing)
I guess what I want to say is that sometimes growling is needed.

@Raginghobbitz That's cool, man. I think the key word there is "sometimes". To me, a lot of it feels too much like EVERYONE doing it ALL THE TIME. If it were more of a sometimes thing, I don't think I'd have an issue with it. As it is, it just gets redundant.
thejesman 2 weeks ago
Hey, You're entitled to your opinion no question about that but I disagree with you on several points.
For starters the growling that you talk about doesn't really make a band unoriginal, I know of several bands (which I can link if you are interested) where the singers make us of growl and you still get a good grip about what they are singing about.
Also, I've listened to metal for quite a few years, I'm 19 so I haven't been around since it all started I am aware of that............
Raginghobbitz 2 weeks ago
Wow. No one cares if you get the point. You generalize every modern metal band by pantomiming a zombie noise. You cite no examples. Just because you think vocals are more important than the music doesn't mean they are. No new ideas? No ingenuity? Seriously, what fucking bands are you listening to. Also Metallica fucking sucks. Check out their sweet album with Lou Reed. There's some vocals for you. Youd like that lame ass shit.

I can understand what you mean in a certain sense, but if you derive away from the "core" bands and shit, distorted vocals can be used in a great way.

@MMEggman I agree, I hear a lot of "clean" singers who do the same thing. But I dislike the distinction between clean singing and distorted singing, I feel like that oversimplifies things.

Dude you're so pathetic. Just because YOU don't know anything about brutal music and can't tell death metal songs apart, doesn't mean that they all sound the same. Yes, they're all brutal and loud, but no man's growl is the same as another's, they might be similar, but not exactly the same. Also, most of the bands share the same opinions and ideals, but this doesn't make them identical. And a last thing: If this music is too hard for your delicate ears, then you don't deserve to be a metalhead.

@damienkurast Hey man, that's cool. I mean, I admit I came across more aggressively than I really meant to. Sometimes, I get a little carried away when I'm recording these things. Of course all artists borrow ideas. But my opinion is, the really great bands are able to add something to the music that's uniquely their own rather than just following their influences. And to me, it feels like not enough bands do that. Not all of them are like that, but a good percentage of them are.

Maybe they are stil evolving, stil learning or maybe their brain is just put together in a way that does not "promote" strong creativity.

@SineNomine0 Yeah, and that's why I hate genres. I mean, you keep breaking down the different styles, you eventually reach a point where you're putting restrictions on creativity. It's like, why can't metal just be metal?

@SineNomine0 He should call it "Repetitive Music Sucks" not Metal sucks.

@thejesman how do you feel about the large group of non-deathmetal influenced metal? Like municipal waste, bonded by blood, white wizard, ghost, and pentagram?
I mean, I'm at the pretty much the same place you are with this mall metalcore bullshit, but there's still a lot of good stuff being put out.

@generik88 Oh yeah, I actually really like a lot of the metal that's not a part of what I'm talking about here. I'm especially into the stoner/doom metal genre in general. Freaking Electric Wizard, dude.

Did you ever think about (just guessing here) that maybe in a couple of years (10 - 20) these bands will eventually evolve, and have their own sound. Look back on how thrash started, wouldn't you agree that the majority of the bands sounded very similar, that everyone was trying to do it, and now, they've all come to have their own unique sounds and playing styles. Also this is coming from a huge lover of thrash metal, so not hating at all.

@Chryosoar Well really, I think metal's already evolved a bit since I recorded this. I've noticed a lot more progressive bands are becoming popular like Mastodon obviously, Baroness, Periphery, Animals as Leaders, etc. And hell, I can't remember the last time I heard anyone say anything good about metalcore. So in all honesty, I think this video's already become a little outdated.

Deathcore/Metalcore is nothing more than Hungarian scale riffing in Drop C or B, chugging, bs solos and shite screams. If you want a good modern Metal band, listen to Trivium on the album The Crusade. Or listen to Soul Sanctuary maybe even. Disturbed are coo too. If you're referencing Asking Alexandria or Suicide Silence, then I completely agree with you, they all sound the same with no originality. One or 2 songs are cool but after that, change the channel, lol. Oh, and /v\ETALLIC/-\ FTW!

Motörhead, Slayer, ACDC, Metallica...well, although they were and still are the grand masters of our genre, they have became too , lets call it, "mainstream". I know it sounds like blasphemy, but let me explain: Mainstream in the sense, that every asshole on this world claims to listen to them. Especially Metallica...And how can I know if you are a real metalhead o a pseudo-Metalhead? Whats the Problem with growling? Atleast i like your opinion: Metalcore sucks! Completely!

@DaedricMetal Lol dude, that sorta thing is seriously like the furthest thing from my mind when I'm listening to music. I'm not interested in whether a band's famous or not, I just wanna hear something good. I honestly don't get why so many people find that stuff so important. No offense, but I got bigger things on my mind than whether some random dude on the internet is a "real metalhead". That's the sorta thing kids care about.

@thejesman ok, you didn't understand me or I did explain it in a weird way(I'am sorry, English is not my mothertongue.) I didn't mean "real metalhead" in the way Manowar means it. For example, my sister likes ACDC too. But she would never calssify herself as a Metalhead and would confirm your opinion, that Deathmetal sucks. But she would say this, because she's not that deep into this topic and can't have the knowledge, the feeling and the enthusiasm to make such a general declaration

@DaedricMetal Well, I kinda figured you meant something like that. All I can say is I listen to guitar-based music everyday, sometimes for several hours in a row. And metal is a big portion of that. There's metal that I like, and there's metal that I don't like. This video's just about certain trends that I don't care for.

@thejesman Ok. The point is...who are you, or who am I to declare which music sucks and which doesn't? It depends on the point of view...So, what was your motivation to post this video? What was your intention? If you ask me, it was predictable, that you would only atract haters...;)
