It's dangerous to say anything is always anything. But usually you're right. Moving the emphasis can also be characteristic of post-metal (as compared to metal). Case in point: the upbeats are prominently featured for the first 1:35 of this song (post-metal), until suddenly a heavy downbeat-based riff enters (metal)...glennny wrote:music genres are defined by the beat and the melody.
metal is always heavy on the downbeat, you lay on the upbeat it's ska
always heavy on the one.

Some friends of mine have a band called Liquified Guts, and they sound exactly like the sort of brutal death-grind you might expect from a name like that. But their songs are all about the goofiest stuff. Here's one about how it's important to eat fruit.

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Four
I can't believe we've been having a metal discussion for this long without mentioning the heaviest deepest hardcore band of all time. They're so heavy they don't even use instruments...

I like the harmonic song on the MySpace, also you might want to look up "Fast Song"
The only thing that comes close to this power is Vegan Black Metal Chef

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Four
All I would say is this was written by Tony Iommi and it got booed off-stage last night, More encouragement, if you need it, to think outside the box.

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Four
So far I've figured out a tempo. Time to write a song!
If I had a dollar for every one of my songs j$ has called a 90s pastiche, I'd have $1 for every song I've written.

Their semi-final performance didn't do the song justice, sadly. But yes, dubstep ASTRONAUTS. How cool was that?Caravan Ray wrote:I certainly hope next weeks challenge will be "Hip Hop Astronauts"

Greece did better than expected, the favourite (Denmark) won. Not my favourite song, but at least they only have to move twenty minutes down the road in the next year. Unless they have it in Aarhaus. And why would they have it in Aarhaus?
Bonnie was croaky. Can we not have a pensioner singing for the UK next year, please?
The awful Armenian metal entry benefited from political voting. Note this, competitors.

Your post should have had a "spoiler warning" - the final isn't broadcast here until tonight.
But Denmark was pretty good in the semis. A pretty girl with lots of drums - works for me.

Hey you guys. American here. Stop trying to make it seem like there are important things outside of North America. Or we're coming for you. With our guns. And our disposable income.
Oh, who am I kidding. We couldn't even find you on a globe. Carry on!

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Four
Excellent discourse on what is/isn't metal! Lemme just say, you gotta put your foot down and draw the line, else you got these poseurs watering down the genre with their pussy-ass weaksauce.
DEATH TO FALSE METAL!!!!!
WWIMD? Rock yo' face off, with searing dual guitar harmonies, galloping bass, skull-smashing drums, and historically accurate lyrics delivered by an operatic airplane pilot who still looks great in spandex!!!!
And sorry dudes, KISS sucks
(How is Between the Buried and Me more hardcore than metal??? WreckdoMelle takes exception to this slight by Encyclopedia Metallum...)

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Four
I'm in.
In case anyone cares - my song includes elements of the musical style "metal," portions are performed on metal instruments (including a shredding trumpet solo by my brother Steve), and is on the topic of mining for metal.
HAve I ever mentioned how much I hate mixing?
