Reconnecting with metal roots

Post by Eruera »

I haven't listened to heavy music for 6 or 7 years now and would like to reconnect with it as my chances of finding some bogans (not in a bad way) to jam with in Palmy are alot higher than finding any fellow country fans :lol:

Back in the day me and my mates were really into Morbid Angel, Death, Obituary and *whisper* Cannibal Corpse :mental:

What would be recommended to listen to these days in terms of groups who picked up where that sort of vein left off, maybe with a modern djent-ish twist?

I guess you could describe it as the more chuggy chiggey wagga groove-driven metal rather than the squeedley vs meedley sweepy picky things.

Northlane, Parkway Drive, Periphery, Monuments, Tesseract, Vildhjarta, Between The Buried And Me, could list quite a few more, but start with those eh!

Reconnecting with metal roots

They all seem a bit to screamy/singy and not enough growly, I'm thinking more stuff that's coming from the bowels of their lungs. Or has metal moved on from that? Back then I would have called the above groups <insert something ancient / aggressive> -core :lol:

In my opinion most of the old school bands still relevant, Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, still putting out solid record which take forever for me to learn. haha

Sorry, don't know any new school metal band at all.

Otherwise, check out Elm Street from Oz. they are awesome IMO.

and Made of Hate if you want go CoB-ish, lol. Very guitar driven metal music.

We played with these guys from Tasmania a month or so back. The guitarist Joseph is ridiculous to watch live.

His name is Jake, oops, and these guys are from Brisbane....confused them with Psycroptic, who we also played with and incidentally are also pretty rad....old stuff more so.

It brings me great joy to read that post Eruera.

It would be remiss of me to not point out Origin-

May as well plug my old band too! The singer from Carnal is actually singing for us in this clip, in terms of growls and shit like that he's got it pretty sussed!
