10.02.07 | I always see Ihsahn albums everywhere I go and yet never pick one up. 2,3 and 4 are godly, havent heard the rest. |
ZapatoDiablo
10.02.07 | I too dig #s 1 and especially 6. |
Electric City
10.02.07 | Branch out from metal. |
BallsToTheWall
10.02.07 | Why? |
Crysis
10.02.07 | NEVER!!!!
lol I've tried different stuff besides metal, everything else seems so boring and hollow. |
chimera908
10.02.07 | Actually metal seems so boring, hollow and contrived for the most part...but that's just me. |
Crysis
10.02.07 | Chimera you hate everything. |
chimera908
10.02.07 | Except everything I like, obviously. Seriously though try branching out at least within the confines of metal. Try some Cynic, maudlin of the Well, Kayo Dot, Converge, Between the Buried And Me (although you probably have). |
BallsToTheWall
10.02.07 | I pass on Converge, and maudlin of the well. I hate Between the buried and me. |
Crysis
10.02.07 | Chimera I've listened to every band you listen except Kayo Dot.
They all suck, especially Converge and Between The Buried And Me. |
chimera908
10.03.07 | Lol there goes any hope for you having an open mind musically. |
Crysis
10.03.07 | Because I don't like metalcore? |
LifeInABox
10.03.07 | 7 is kinda weak 10 is fantastic |
chimera908
10.03.07 | Umm the only "metalcore" band there was converge so that kinda goes to enforce my point.... |
Crysis
10.03.07 | I consider BTBAM metalcore. |
chimera908
10.03.07 | Hardly, regardless Cynic, maudlin and kayo dot have nothing to do with metalcore and they're all metal albums that transend the tradtitional limitations of metal. The fact that a metalhead like you doesn't like Cynic simply astounds me. |
Zoo
10.03.07 | As of late, I have been sensing condescending undertones when people call others "metalheads" (especially as it is, most often, accompanied by a negative adjective).
Nice list. What would you suggest as the first step for getting into Insahn, Nokturnal Mortum, Naglfar, Immortal, and Ensiferum. I heard some stuff from Ensiferum's EP and their latest album but I didn't dig it too much. Is their other stuff worth checking out? |
Ominous Inane
10.03.07 | A lot of very bad music here. |
Blurry
10.03.07 | @ Electric City - If that's where he's at right now, why should he?
This is a bit hit and miss. I don't go in for the Finnish sound too much, so pass on 1, 2, 3 and 6... Naglfar are pretty average.... Nokturnal Mortum go alright... Ihsahn's album is strong as is Skydancer.... Anthems is passable. |
Blurry
10.03.07 | Oh, and At the Hear of Winter is pretty good.
@ chimera908 - I don't know what they sounded like before, but Kayo Dot's second album was one the most ponderous, pretentious pieces of shit I've ever heard, and this is coming from a major Ulver fan.
Cynic are good, though. |
Crysis
10.03.07 | @Zooyorker- For Nokturnal Mortum, check out Goat Horns, for Naglfar check out Sheol, for Immortal go with either At The Heart of Winter or Suns Of Northern Darkness, Ihsahn only has one album so you're kinda limited there, and for Ensiferum check out their Self-Titled. |
