Anyone else into Folk Metal or Symphonic Metal? (a Headbangers Paradise)

[AK907]

Oh i gotta do some more research then lol! Idk i liek the heavy stuff you posted of them before but all those mushy clean vocals in these songs dont really do it so much for me.

Gojira is cool, but i only listened to like 3 of there songs so idk if i really like them yet or not. I really like that whale song though. Whale metal is gunna be a whole new genre, i can see it now! lol

I've been trying to brush up on them a bit. It would be nice to at least have a decent idea who they are before we see them later this year with LOG and Dethklok.

Hey guys, I just wanted to see what you think of this song:

It's by a Japanese band, but, they sing a lot of their songs in 100% English. Imo, it's really good, but, I just want to hear your opinions.

Dethklok

Never said I was a Dethklok fan.

I can appreciate them for what they are, a joke band. From a musical stand point, yeah, they are kind of lame, but that is part of the humor. They are generic. I put them in the same lot as bands like Psychostick and The Bloodhound Gang.

The Bloodhound Gang.

The Bloodhound Gang got me through Operation Iraqi Freedom, and I will forever be grateful for their Hooray For Boobies CD.

Amen to that, brother! I'm not normally into that kind of music, but I love that album. I grew up on it and have lots of fond memories listening to it on road trips with my sister.

Meh, doesnt sound like metal imo. Sounds like a little bit heavier version of Greenday with a dash of some Dragonforce in there somewhere. To be fair i wasnt really a fan of any of that J-rock stuff you posted before either. Just not my cup of tea, doesnt mean you cant like it.

Ive never heard of either of them either, i guess im more of a real band listener lol

Fair enough. I'm the same way, but every once in a while a little humor is appreciated. Just like every so often I'll back off of my typical metal listening and play some REO Speedwagon or Styx. Its nice to change things up occasionally.

[MasonC2K]

I am in to pretty much any metal EXCEPT Cookie Monster vocals. I have never been able to get in to that.

Are you sure about that? I think you've just heard bad examples.

Some may not consider Rammstein metal, but I do!

BEWARE THIS IS A GERMAN BAND BUT THE LINK I PROVIDED HAS ENGLISH TRANSLATION SO, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO RUIN YOUR "TRANSLATION THEN FIND ANOTHER SONG BY THEM
