Twisted Music
Wow, this has been one really long break from blogging. In the meanwhile, I have been listening to bands like Isis and the like. Ever since I heard Mastodon, which was a few months back, I have been on a quest to find bands with similar water-y themes. So I ended up downloading a bunch of albums by Isis, Pelican, Godflesh, Converge, Botch and Neurosis. While not much technique goes into writing the kind of music that Isis writes, it does take a vision to make music like that.
One band that has been on my playlist for a while is Necrophagist, a German death metal band. Believe me, music doesn't get more technical. They play the most twisted tunes. They are extremely fast and the most demented mind on the planet wouldn't come up with guitar solos as sick as the ones these guys play. So, if you think you've heard all, you should listen to Necrophagist.
Recently, I came across a thread on the forums of last.fm about extreme vocals in metal. Its really sad that a lot of people don't listen to metal because of the vocals. It takes getting used to the vocals before you start liking the vocals. Even in the end, its not necessary that you like the vocals, but thats the small price one needs to pay to enjoy some of the most beautiful music ever made. Before I digress into some other random topic, I stop here! More later..
