eternium: A Week Without Metal

eternium 05.29.10	Might be a hard week.
bloc 05.29.10	Why, exactly?
ShadowRemains 05.29.10	i don't think i could do that, but props if you make it through some good shit here Bob Marley FTW
eternium 05.29.10	I dunno lol.
FadeToBlack 05.29.10	I will, but in a couple of days. I'm downloading a load of dark ambient/industrial/drone stuff, just gonna listen to that for like a couple of weeks
Yazz_Flute 05.29.10	9 is pretty metallic imo
Ire 05.29.10	I told myself that I would only listen to jazz this week. I'm only listening to black and death metal this week. Shit happens I guess.
Counterfeit 05.29.10	Wu Tang is like, rap metal man. Not as in the genre but the anger and general awesomeoness.
FadeToBlack 05.29.10	Grindcore can be split into punk stuff and metal stuff; basically if it has any death metal influence, it goes into the metal side. pure grind liek Discordance Axis, Insect Warfare and Nasum are definitley not metal, they are punk
eternium 05.29.10	Like I said, grindcore is debated all the time. Nowadays, most grindcore is definitely metal (Brutal Truth, Pig Destroyer), but that one doesn't seem all that much.
Hawks 05.29.10	I couldn't do this. And yeah grindcore is definitely metal. Or at least metal-ish.
FadeToBlack 05.29.10	coughcough look at my post bitches, ima right youra wrong
eternium 05.29.10	Might download and listen to more Beatles too. Anyone gonna suggest an Unsane album?
GenNarain 05.29.10	Kinda did that this week, listened to no metal for a couple days and just played some old stuff.It's purty cool bro
dylantheairplane 05.29.10	Its not too difficult, I live every day of my life without metal and I'm fine
demon of surveillance 05.29.10	I can't go a day without listening to metal.
eternium 05.29.10	The contrast between dylantheairplane and Norse Gangsta lol.
dylantheairplane 05.29.10	I just thought the same thing haha
Poet 05.29.10	It's actually pretty easy to do
bloc 05.29.10	It just depends on how much non-metal music you listen to, simple.
eternium 05.29.10	Just look at my pie chart. It shouldn't be too hard. I just have to fight the cravings. Especially for Converge and Neurosis.
bloc 05.29.10	Yeah, you should be alright. As for your cravings, lol.
Emim 05.29.10	A Week Without Metal Opeth Damnation Wait, what?
cvlts 05.29.10	i guess i could try.
eternium 05.29.10	Emim, have you not heard Damnation? It's pure progressive rock.
Emim 05.29.10	Oh yeah, this too: Discordance Axis The Inalienable Dreamless
eternium 05.29.10	Read the comments above. Particularly FadeToBlack.
sniper 05.29.10	I'm down. Gonna be a bitch to not listen to Converge though.
Emim 05.29.10	Yeah, I read FtB's comment, I just don't agree ;)
eternium 05.29.10	Alright, so me, sniper01, This Life is Genocide, and FadeToBlack. Any others?
sniper 05.29.10	I'm gonna listen to so much Pg. 99, I can tell you that right now.
eternium 05.29.10	You just did.
sniper 05.29.10	That's true I did.
Emim 05.29.10	I'm not going to force myself to listen to other music (which I do already). I don't learn to appreciate it that way.
eternium 05.29.10	I'm not forcing myself, I'm just avoiding metal, therefore making more of an effort to listen to the other things. I still have a wide variety of choice.
sniper 05.29.10	If I really wanted to challenge myself I would stop listening to skramz for a week. Metal will be pretty easy for me other than Converge.
Emim 05.29.10	I just listen to all my music on shuffle. Bam; variety.
Ire 05.29.10	Damnation isn't metal bro 8 is amazing. Stare at the ceiling on nyquil while you listen to it.
sniper 05.29.10	I can't do that Emim, it's too jarring to go from Animal Collective to TDEP, it just hurts.
bloc 05.29.10	Then you just remove AC from your Ipod! It's that simple.
Ire 05.29.10	SUFFERING IS LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE i think i can i think i can i think i i think i can i think i can i think i boodle hipster doosit boodle hipster doosit and i dooooooooont waaant it
eternium 05.29.10	Animal Collective is overrated anyway.
FadeToBlack 05.29.10	most difficult thing will be not listening to Neurosis :/
Emim 05.29.10	"Then you just remove AC from your Ipod! It's that simple." YesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYes "Damnation isn't metal bro" I would have sworn it was a different Opeth album he had up there...
Epilogue 05.29.10	if you dont listen to metal every single day of your life you are a fucked pussy
eternium 05.29.10	I guess that I'll be a pussy for a week then.
Epilogue 05.29.10	a pussy thats being fucked up the ass
FadeToBlack 05.29.10	you need to get Insect Warfare - World Extermination before you start tomorrow; it's heavy as fuck grind and should do satisy any need for br00talz music ;)
eternium 05.29.10	I do need some more grind. I want a grindcore band, dammit. It'd be so much fun, but I don't know anyone who listens to grindcore, much less a drummer, bassist, and vocalist who does.
FadeToBlack 05.29.10	Insect Warfare - World Extermination Nasum - Helvete Assuck - Misery Index Brutal Truth - Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses (deathgrind though, u can't listen to it :P) Rotten Sound - Exit and yeah being in a grind band would be awesome
eternium 05.29.10	I've got Human 2.0 by Nasum. I'm assuming that Helvete is even better.
ShadowRemains 05.29.10	"a pussy thats being fucked up the ass" now THAT sounds like a good time
FadeToBlack 05.29.10	yeah Helvete and Shift are the best Nasum albums imo, but all their albums are great. its a shame their vocalist got killed : (
eternium 05.29.10	Yeah, really sucks.
Disconnected 05.29.10	I will take the challenge. I haven't been paying attention to non-metal stuff much lately.
eternium 05.29.10	I'm gonna edit the list to include the people who have said that they will take the challenge.
eternium 05.30.10	Less than two hours left. Currently spending it with The Eye of Every Storm. Anyone else joining?
qwe3 05.30.10	grind is punk
Jaskolkaaa 05.30.10	I'd say stuff on here is kinda cheatingggg. Try just going without screaming?
Dryden 05.30.10	thats stupid. theres metal with all clean vocals too ya know
eternium 05.30.10	There's no cheating. If it isn't metal, then it isn't metal. Plain and simple.
Jaskolkaaa 05.30.10	Ehhh yeahh that's true. It would depend on the defenitions I guess...idk what they are because I'm not into them, but aren't Opeth metal?
eternium 05.30.10	I shall not even answer to your ignorance, young one.
Jaskolkaaa 05.30.10	hahahah, honest mistake though, seeing as I don't listen to them....
eternium 05.30.10	Perhaps you should change that. IS NOBODY UP FOR THE CHALLENGE? You all sicken me.
eternium 05.30.10	And it begins...
