A bit of celtic metal for a change...

Eluveitie: Rose for Epona

Loved this. I checked out a couple others from them. 'King' had too much 'cookie Monster' crappy vocals. 'Call of the Mountains' was pretty excellent.

The mix of female vocalist lead with a secondary 'counterpoint', I guess, of male deathmetal vocals reminds me of Leaves Eyes, a band I'd LOVE if they'd rein in the cookie monster crappy vocals. This one by them has just a tad too much for me, but mostly tolerable.

I'm a big fan of a mix of cookie monster vocals with female vocals. If done right to me it's perfect.

Local (female vocals) friends of ours:

Top notch for their style!

My daughter bought me Damnation and it's live accompanying DVD Lamentations by Opeth for my birthday and I keep listening to 'Hope Leaves'. A brave song for a supposed Death Metal band. I'm beginning to think that Mikael Ackerfeldt is some kind of genre busting genius.

Their older stuff used to be just the "cookie monster" vocals as you put it

Why I love the band so much is because they bring so many old instruments into play... Mandola, Tin Whistle, Bagpipes, Hurdy-Gurdy, etc etc...

AlephZero · **Reply #157 on:** June 07, 2015, 08:57:29 PM

Oh and to make it clear... I do like the death metal growl

Maybe I said that before.
I was born in May 1968.
Since I can remember (2-4 years old) there were rock sounds all around (and hairs, sideburns, bell pants, hippie culture that came in Greece with a delay because we had a military Junta then).
When I was 8-10 years old the older guys (teenagers) wore safety pins and funny clothes and listened to some Sex Pistols. A bit later it was confusing. Some listened to Disco, some Pin Floyd ad nauseum and there was a new thing called Heavy Metal, started from a band with an uggly mascot and a 666 album (666 was first used in "Aphrodite's Child" , with the greats Vangelis, Demis Roussos, Yannis, Tsarouchis, Irene Pappas, Kostas Ferris etc, but I didn't know it then).
I was a bit conservative as a youngster but in my teens I rediscovered the sounds of my childhood, first Hard Rock with Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and the rest and shortly afterwards the Heavy Metal sounds of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Scorpions (girls loved it, you had to have a couple of LPs as conversation starters), Blue Oyster Cult, Motorhead and the rest.
I followed with the newer wave throughout the 80s. Accept, Manowar, G&R. And then, in 1993 I got married.
That was it. After 1993 I am a rock iliterate. It was classical music or nothing. I mean I don't even know most of the groups ypu are talking about.
Now my kids are 21 and 18, legally adults. I hope I'll catch up. Although I lost a lot of headbanging potential in the process of growing them up.

I just wanted to give a general 'thanks' to everyone putting stuff in this thread. It's really hard for me to find new Heavy Metal I like, and even if folks post stuff that I DON'T like, it's still a chance at finding something new.

It's also awesome that the boards have a pretty big international showing, so I'm getting exposed to stuff I'd be even LESS likely to find.

Thanks all.

Nice post Lynn - the global input is amazing. Growing up in the UK I guess I've always been spoiled for music and listened to loads of UK and US bands, but Europe has REALLY opened my eyes to metal. The scandinavians especially have taken up the ball and run riot with it introducing all sorts of influences my younger self would have baulked at.

I know I keep going on about Opeth, but they are one of those bands that really do defy description and have evolved from album to album, and quite often from the beginning to the end of a song. They are ridiculously talented people.

I'm on my work pc at the moment which doesn't allow me access to youtube, but check out 'Harlequin forest', 'Deliverence' and 'Hope Leaves' and tell me ABBA didn't start a Death Jazz band.

Burn (originally done by Deep Purple). This is by Black Country Communion (Jason Bonham, Joe Bonamassa, Glen Hughes and Derek Sherinian):

I prefered Coverdale's macho and blues voice over Hughe's high pitch and soul in the '70s, but now that he aged he got much better.

I thought the two of them worked well together on Burn. Two or more vocalists is a real bonus for me - Mastodon use it well.

I remember seeing a funny interview with Jon Lord talking about his days in Whitesnake, laughing about David Coverdale singing these raunchy, sexy, hard rock songs to a 15 year old male audience.

You got it right. Did you know Lemmy taught Sid Vicious to play the bass (he was obviously a bad student, or too stoned to make much progress). No wonder they have Punk attitudes.
Ha, I didn't know that! That seems like Bruce Dickinson teaching Baby Spice to sing!

Actually you can see Lemmy in the "Holidays in the Sun" video, 1:45"

Last I checked, they are no more. I read an interview and Joe said hes moved on from the whole band thing. He got burned out by the way b.c.c. toured:

Not sure if this is exactly where this belongs, but it was impressive.

Foo Fighters are more Hard Rock than Heavy Metal, but this is a very 'metal' thing to do.

Dave Grohl breaks his leg mid-performance, then comes back an hour later to finish the set.
http://digg.com/video/dave-grohl-breaks-his-leg-mid-performance-returns-to-finish-the-show?utm_source=digg&utm_medium=facebook

Why does this matter to me? Because in 1992, during a stadium tour of Metallica and Guns N' Roses, James Hetfield stepped in front of a pyrotechnic effect, and caught it in the face and arm. he had to be rushed to the hospital. Guns N' Roses COULD have stepped in, jammed with Metallica, then done their own set, and saved the day. Instead, Axl (waste-of-human-flesh) Rose didn't even finish GNR's set. This led to riots. I don't blame Hetfield. You get burned that bad, you're in need of serious medical attention. I DO blame Rose. Could have been a hero, instead, showed what an a-hole he is. I will never forgive that. I have a lot of words I'd use to describe Axl Rose. All of them are on the filter list. Smurfing Smurfhole.

Grohl breaks his f-ing leg, gets treated, and finishes the set. THAT is metal. That shows a dedication to your job, and to your fans.

Mr. Grohl...
