    Pantera is pretty badass. Well was for me because they've since been replaced by lots of harder stuff. I got the Vulgar Display of Power cd first, loved it.. played it til I couldn't stand it anymore, then moved on to Crowbar (produced by Phil Anselmo from Pantera) then slowly evolved to Death Metal altogether, leaving a lot of lesser metal to collect dust on the shelves. :rolleyes: However there is one Pantera song I still like and listen to every once in a while. Cemetery Gates.

     

    Hopefully we're cool talking about metal here on psynews :P Since it's in the Off Topic section after all.

     

    @sideeffect - I had never really heard of Dimmu before watching some random videos back in 2004 and I saw Progenies of the Great Apocalypse. I was so moved that FINALLY, a black metal band (which is controversial to call them that, some would label them death and argue about it) got away from the goofy forest scene videos and had effects and symphonies going on and I was hooked. For me, all music is about feeling, moods, hell I don't even know half the words to death metal songs. Don't care to know them either. bands like Mayhem are ok, I even have a cd or two somewhere upstairs buried, but they disappoint on the whole fist making eyes rolling back in the head feeling of hatred and darkness pumping through my veins that I want to feel when I listen to dark/doom/death/black metal. Some of those bands sound like they recorded the entire album from a phone set up in their garage. And their videos as cheesy looking like something some college students did with a crappy VHS camcorder. I guess it just all comes down to what you like..

     

    I dig these guys.. An Australian metalcore band.. Parkway Drive . To me these guys (and others) have way surpassed what Pantera could do.

    Not exactly my cup of metal tea, but I feel compelled to point to you Wolves In The Throne Room. They don't have quite the symphonic/synth European metal sound your link does, but it reminds me a little. I call them "epic black metal".

    I have their "Diadem of 12 Stars" album. Honestly the production is kind of crappy, they have a more sloppy sound not like the ultra-clean quality in most modern metal, but I still enjoy listening on occasion. I also kind of get a kick out of the fact that the album is an hour long and has only 4 tracks. The last one alone is 20 minutes.

    Gojira is about the only currently active metal band I really listen to. Well, I do listen to Metallica, Lamb of God, Slayer, Opeth, but not their current music.

    Oh, and welcome!

     

     

    that's kind of where black metal fans divide, some prefer the "low production sound" (old school Beherit) versus modern production (Dimmu Borgir). I prefer symphonic theatrics in my black metal, so I tend to love Dimmu and Behemoth, Emperor etc.. From what I'm noticing about this site and psytrance music, at least from what I've seen I could be wrong, people aren't so "my genre's better than yours" like metal fans can be. Perhaps it's just the type of music it is after all, metal is emotional destruction to whatever level, usually bad-asses wanting to prove their bad-asses even if vicariously through their music .. whereas trance has people of all kinds just enjoying the sound and going with the flow.

     

    I like Lamb of God a lot, and some Opeth, Slayer.. old school Slayer not any of the new stuff.. same with Metallica. I'm listening to this wolves in the throne room now.. I like the female backup vocals .. really does remind me of the old school black metal bands like Enslaved and Immortal.

     

    To each their own really.

    I use this as a reference and reviewing site, if I hear a name thrown around on other forums or anywhere else, in it goes into the psynews search. Also probably the most accurate and comprehensive review section anywhere. Psynews hasn't let me down yet. However I probably should actually contribute something..

     

    That's how I feel too. I have checked this site out for a month or two before joining.. I don't suppose I know too much about new releases and can really add to much of a contribution there, but I can at least get in touch with people who like the same music.. as I'm surrounded by friends and others who do not. My music collection is starting to grow significantly :D

    Guess I never updated this.. but after listening to this album (thanks to Ektoplazm) it is now added to my winamp queue.

     

    currently listening to Warm Breeze.. adequately named! I'm new to the whole experience of raves, didn't know how it worked to have intro style music, then progressively crazy, ending with something still trippy yet soothing at the same time for a cooldown. Hell I just figured people listened to crazy music for 4-6 hours and went home to do whatever. :P Anyway how it ends with piano.. I can just envision a mass of zombies still wanting to enjoy the music but worn out from hours of energy spent, ready to recharge and do it all over again tomorrow or next week whatever. Every song has a warm breeze to it, and although I really do go for a much crazier chaotic sound I like how this all rolls. I'll be listening to this album for a while.

    Welcome :D

    thanks! checked out your gallery on Deviant pretty cool. I'm on there as Insane_Puppy2.

     

     

    @reyu I like Sepultura's music just don't care for the vocals. They sound a lot like Motorhead. To each their own I know. B)

    I actually dig seein pics from all you guys in other countries.. ha I spend more time looking at the surroundings than you. I suppose it's weird to say but all I ever see is the states, can't really afford to go see Europe, or wherever. I was born in Germany but just because my dad was Army, we left a year later so all I have is a few photos.

    Has it always been this slow at Psynews?

     

     

    I'm tryin to post here and there dammit! :lol:

     

    I spent quite a while on different site, I suppose after so long many people get bored and disappear.. some of the long term members don't necessarily want to talk to newbies since some of them show up and ask 3 things and take off. Trends come and go.. Some of us realize we've spent way too much time posting on a site when there's a world out there to explore. B) it picks up eventually.

     

    and I love the Dead Space series.. turn off the lights, pull up the chair close to the tv, crank the home theater, maybe get a jump or two. DS1 became nothing once you completely level up your plasma gun. killing even the bosses becomes a breeze. :D

    So with so many metal fans, I really think someone should post some metal sets in the dj promotion forum. I mean Death metal djs exist suppsoedly... and I want to therefore download their sets. I would if I still listened to black metal as much as I used to.

     

    Man there is so much metal anymore it'll make your head spin. I have a friend who probably spends 2-5 hours a day researching metal bands and posts all over facebook. I can't imagine what his hard drive looks like all the stuff he downloads. After a while many of them just begin to sound the same to me. My favorite metal (not just death) of 2010 tho have to be the bands Allegeon (technical death metal), Conducting From the Grave, Parkway Drive, and Winterburst. Disharmonia Mundi has some decent stuff too.

     

    also.. the new Amon Amarth cd isn't too bad either. The first song is epic anyway.

    Hey, Praga Khan! Here's a tracklist from 1991, from Juliana's Tokyo club - a legend in Asia and Japan.

    I still have the vol.1 CD, the cover is so simple, so Japanese, that its simplicity makes it chic.

    At that time, Belgian techno was the rage. It was soon after that that Goa trance came around, I remember

    that vol.4 of Juliana's Tokyo featuread a MWNN track. It was a great club, and some tokyoites miss it to this day.

    hey Prodigy made it to that compilation!.. I was into them too for a little bit. Music for the Jilted Generation didn't leave my car stereo for months.

     

    speaking of Tokyo.. I dig the Tokyo dancing stormtooper vid on youtube. Had to go find that album just because of that song. :)

    Aloha Dark Puppy,

     

    Praga khan and Lord of acid is the same group/artist from Belgium (so am I) and one of the founders of 'New Beat'!

     

    I'm glad to see you like psytrance but also expand your perspective towards other music.

     

    Can you specify your suggestions? I'm glad to help.

     

    That's weird about them being the same band because I saw on a compilation once as Lords of Acid & Praga Khan. Always thought they were different.. Well back then there was no internet for me anyway, there were B.B.S. systems (connecting at 14.4k bps!) and even then hardly anyone I talked to on there was into techno enough to school me on who's who. Didn't take me long anyway before my opinion became "the best techno comes from Europe", cuz all the american techno was just pop crap lol. might even still be I don't know. I did hear this one screamo band that integrated some techno sound in with their emo metal.. ugh.. horrible.

     

    I keep coming back to psytrance no matter how far I go out listening to punk or metal or whatever.. I just love being able to close my eyes and get lost in trance, and the crazier it gets the better. My wife, ex wife and even several of my friends don't get into trance, saying that it's all repetitious and there's no vocals and blah blah whatever.. To me that's the point of trance to hear repetition over and over and singing just kills it. I do however like listening to some of the club trance however that features women with beautiful voices kinda like the track by Armin Van Buuren ft Sharon den Adel "In and Out of Love". Even DJ Yahel's "Oceans " with Tammy..

     

    As far as suggestions.. I'm finding a lot of cool music from the reviews, and especially the thread "what are you listening to now" it's really expanding my horizons on new music. even if it's 10 years old hell I've never heard it. But the more uptempo and crazy I love it. Alienapia, Filteria, Mind Sphere, Liquid Flow, if that puts it into perspective.

     

    thanks!

    Reminds me of a much better version of some of my crappy attempts at cool photos

     

    Outlined pics are pretty cool. I just geared mine more for the 3d effect you'd get from Chromadepth glasses or 3d glasses actually work better I think, less blurry. I have just been that bored kid at home for years (since 1993 anyway) messing with graphics until one day I got pretty decent at it. I used to make a lot of wallpapers, logos, and avatars for a website which I was also a moderator for, a couple years ago. Just takes a lot of practice.

    Has anyone asked before or answered perhaps why so many of these songs are free? I gladly welcome it, as so many people like me are sick of throwin down lots of money for filler tracks that leave a bad taste in the mouth.. like swallowing stuffing from the mattresses previously shot by a laser. :P

    Are you techno-viking?

    :wub:

     

     

    :D that morning I think I was listening to a lot of System of a Down. That pic is about 2 years old back then for trance I just listened to a lot of Yahel and Infected. And possibly whatever Armin VanBuuren or Paul Van Dyk might have compiled. Hadn't discovered this wild genre known as GOA that I am lovin so well.
