Music that is "too heavy" for you.

[Eric]

Brodequin, Devourment, Liturgy, Wormed, Vomit Remnants, Disconformity, Disgorge (Mexico), and most other brutal death metal bands are most likely too heavy for you and everyone else on this forum.

I don't know. It's not that they're too heavy, it's that they're heavy to the point of being retarded...it kind of gets to a place where it's like "what's the point?" I mean, really. Eventually the heaviness stops being enjoyable and becomes an indiscernible mess of blood and guts and carnage and double bass and power chords, especially in that kind of music. You start to get diminishing returns insomuch as what's cool and what's just utterly pretentious.

[Eric]

That's exactly my point, although Wormed is actually listenable.

Yeah. I agree with you. Wormed isn't completely awful, either. Devourment and Vomit Remnants made me laugh out loud, though. Have you heard stuff like Pig Grinder and other bands with names involving killing pigs? That stuff fits right in there, I'd say.

[Eric]

hehe....there are a LOT of brutal [and other] death metal bands in Japan....

You know what's funny to me is that Japan has a really, really big metal and hardcore scene. I had no idea, and then my friend found some bands on MySpace. Japanese straight-edge hardcore bands are pretty amusing, honestly...

This made me LOL in the middle of computer programming class.

I LOL'd again.

Two that I have to list are Norma Jean and Underoath. Their sound just grates on my ears.

Too heavy? I don't think so.

I don't consider pig-squealing vocals "heavy" in any means of the word.

None of those bands are too heavy for me.

EDIT: There is no woman alive that is too heavy for me either. Well, maybe...

No, I agree 100%. I can't stand Underoath or Norma Jean.

:O

[Tommy]

Think that comment was too "eh?" XD

EDIT: I like underOATH's old material and I loved Norma Jean was Josh Scogin was still around (Luti-Kriss was okay). Once Josh left for the Chariot, I didn't pay much attention to Norma Jean, but I can clearly say that Norma Jean's frontman switch was a lot better.

Dallas owned Spencer as far as OU, but NJ's new guy isn't that bad.

They don't use that style of vocals....have you actually listened to any of them?

[Tommy]

Yes, I heard a song from each but the one I was mostly directing that post towards was Wormed.

[Kkun]

Underoath and Norma Jean still rock, I don't care what anyone says. Spencer is good and Cory Brandan is a great vocalist after he got past O' God the Aftermath and his monotone vocals.

[righteous_slave]

Nope, no such thing as too heavy, although some stuff gets limited listens. Ganglia is a wierd cyber noise project I came across a while back. Pure drum machine and electronic blasts of noise with a few grindcore screams thown in here and there. Not too heavy to listen too, but not something to pour in your ears 24/7. Good black metal is awesome, I like the bands with the orchestral segues(sp) and backgrounds behind the blast beats. Good death metal is getting hard to find, especially Christian bands. Sorrowstorm, Immortal Souls, Holy Blood are a few good ones out there.

Somewhere along the line soe people decided that lousy production enhances really brutal, heavy music. Those people need to be kept as far away from recording equipment as possible.

Ha ha, yes they do.

I can't stand wormed's vocals. They ruin the music completely for me.

[Zarn Ishtare]

Sepulchera(sp?). They murdered Dante's Divine Comedy when they turned into a screaming death metal-fest. I ripped it out of my CD player, ground it into the dirt and pebbles, broke it in half, and then threw it in the trash.

[Eric]

It's Sepultura. You should've just given it to someone who would appreciate it or sold it to a store that buys used cds instead of destroying it; that was rather stupid. It really saddens me when I see people with such unbridled hatred for any form of music, especially when it's directed towards a highly influential and important band.

Hey now. I threw away my 98 Degrees CD when I realized how retarded it was (like, what, age 11 or something? XD). But granted, they were neither highly influential nor were they important. Thank God. XD

Well if I somehow acquired every CD you own, I'd probably do the same.

[Zarn Ishtare]

Listen, I bought it. It was mine. If I decided to destroy it, that is just so totally ok. I didn't enjoy it, don't have any friends that enjoys that kind of music, and the only reason I bought it was that I had heard it was based off Dante's Divine Comedy. What I found in it was a sick jest, an insult to my ears and heart. There is music that screams, and is hardcore, and can be quantified as good, and as music, but I'm afraid it's all a matter of taste otherwise. I felt degraded spiritually after listening to that, and I've listened to Hatebreed, so that's saying something in my book. I wouldn't suggest it to someone, and I wouldn't want it sold again.

So in short, taste, think what you will, blah, blah, blah, blah.

*end*

Edit: Also, I doubt you'd be raging if I'd ripped up, say, an N'sync CD. Which I have also done.

[Tommy]

Same here, MSP.
Naturally, I'm an American, so I normally tend to listen to American music.

Jk, Jk.

In Flames is from Sweden and I do like Rammstein a little (Lyrics in German).

For your music, ATB is teh awesome, and there are some good Jrock bands out there, so I was 100% kidding.

[Zarn Ishtare]

The Black Keys is also something that could be called "too heavy" for me. They sounded like Led Zeppelin if they'd gone straight electric blues, rather than heavy metal.

[rurouninaruto]

I actually used to think that there was stuff that was too heavy for me, but now I just think death metal and some screamo bands are just annoying. Not all screamo bands. Just a few screamo bands are annoying to me.

Actually, I can pretty much guarantee that I have music from at least a few different styles that most people will enjoy (with the exception of those who are just not into music very much or are too closed-minded to listen to anything that is not on TV or the radio) since I listen to a very wide variety of music, be it within the metal subgenres or other things such as avant garde, progressive, ambient, classical, etc. I just usually tend to not like anything that is all that popular; that's not to say that everything I listen to is necessarily underground (I do not listen to music based on the popularity, or the lack thereof, of any particular band), but it's just not well-known, especially here in the United States.

Wanna bet? XD I however disagree with you when you say that those who are not into your types of genres are close-minded. I myself am not big on ANY form of rock (Besides some J-rock and maybe one or two songs of two other artists). I'm big on Trance (Vocal, progressive) Techno, IDM, etc. I don't see myself as close-minded. I've heard songs before of some artists you'd probably like. I just don't like rock.

[Radical Dreamer]

Taste is good. Respecting taste is better. XD Not everyone likes rock, not everyone likes techno, not everyone likes Sufjan Stevens (:O), not everyone likes heavy metal, et cetera. XD

Now if only everyone would realize that...XD;

[That Dude]

Music eletists make Jesus sad.

Anyway I haven't found anything yet that's too hard for me. I do stay away from some stuff just because it annoys me. Like the black metal where the singers sound like GRRRAAAAAAHHHRRRRBBB with every single word that comes out of their mouths. I love all sorts of metal and hardcore I just don't like some of the bands screaming styles.

I don't think he implied you were closeminded.
He was referring to people who only listen to mainstream material like on MTV and stuff.
I don't see many Jrock or Jpop bands on MTV, MSP.

While I heavily (pun'd) disagree on you're musical taste, I don't think you're closeminded.
