I’m sure there’s more
It’s definitely survivorship bias and likely that the barrier for entry is a lot lower now, so only ‘better’ music would be made (ie record companies doing risk assessment and deciding what would be more likely to sell) / your average person can make music now relatively easily, which I suppose technically ‘dilutes’ the overall ‘quality’ of music today - take your pick
That Bad Omens album is so good. I really need to listen to more Sleep Token too.
I saw Lorna Shore as the warm-up for the Mega Monsters tour and I have to say whoever did the mixing for that performance is awful at their job. I had never heard any of their music before and I’m pretty sure I can still say that in all honesty. The vocals sounded like nothing but static and the instruments didn’t sound like much more than speaker feedback lol.
For someone who hasn’t found many heavy metal bands to enjoy other than Gojira, are they worth looking into?
Homie can scream like nobody's business, but that's what you're gonna get.
My path went from Gojira, to Mastodon, David Maxim Micic, and Rivers of Nihil (check out where owns know my name).
If Metal metal isnt really your thing, check out Leprous. Malina and Pitfalls both kick ass and are about as far from metal where you still get some recognizable tropes.
Yes
I mean I like them, so I’m gonna say yes haha
Sorry you had a terrible sound engineer that night though :/
List is a genre trip and a half. Nice picks :)
Lmao thanks, yeah I like variety haha
same- went straight from Lorna Shore into Lil Darkie earlier lmao
