I've never been into that rapscallion "chug-a-lug riffing" guitar work and "dead beats" drumming, despite trying to get into the genre for over a decade. I've become so downtrodden by the elitism, the copycats, the cliques, the bickering over authenticity, the so-called forebearers and innovators, I've never lost all hope, but I've come distinctly close.



Then, it came to me: the album that made all other genres of music click for me (well, not ALL other genres) was In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. The songwriting and general length of the album made it accessible while providing challenges that pushed my limits. Is a saw gawking like a gaggle of seals really a musical sound? Does semen stain the mountaintops? It blew me through the intellectual glass ceiling of the mainstream Nickelback greenhouse I was trapped inside for far too long.



Well, I've found myself entrapped in yet another greenhouse of PBR weeds and p4k pesticides, and I need to shatter the ceiling with the force of \m/etal. Something with feeling, emotions and songwriting that are inspired and not just going through the pentatonic motions to desperately appease some ill-held metalhead notion that "this is what a riff should be".



Give me your death, thrash, groove, nu-, black, doom, sludge, stoner, -core, and whatever other metal you can muster, as long as it lives up to NMH and ITAOTS. Only rule: Nothing aligned with those damned Nazis.

ok sry but you expect serious recommendations from people that listen to metal after insulting the whole genre with a backhanded comment?

I think your big takeaways from this thread should be a) Probably best not to insult hardcore Metal fans right off the bat and b) that if you're going to ask questions like this of the Metal community you'll probably be better off trying to answer them on your own.



Onwards and upwards.
