Progressive, innovative and unconventional Music

I'm overjoyed with the amount of dark music the community seems to appreciate, in metal particularly.

 

Black/death metal seems to be a no man's land in the "real world" but I'm surprised so many TDM (Thief) fans are into it haha!

 

"Wintry Grey" is one of my favourite songs by them. The band is what I think of every time I see your handle.

 

Mayhem, Emperor, prerelease from prison BURZUM, Thorns, Darkthrone, Ulver, (early)Enslaved, (early) Gorgoroth, Dodheimsgard, Odium, Strid, (early) Isvind, Thou Shalt Suffer, Zyklon, are all some fav's of mine from the Norway land. Lots more too like Black Majesty, Celestial Bloodshed, Joyless, One Tail One Head or Dodsengel but they are much more obscure than the more well known ones I listed.

 

My metal collection on the computer is organized by country>band>album LOL.

I don't think it's "really" black/death, maybe "electrogrey" (LOL) :D

i don't really like black metal (or any metal at all, for that matter) but I love Deafheaven's newest release, Sunbather. Black metal with a hefty amount of shoegaze and post-metal in there.

 

i love a lot of post-rock tho

 

That album wasn't too bad, but through the sidebar I discovered Russian Circles, thanks!

A psychadelic track, not usually my thing, but this one's pretty darn good (after the 2 minute mark).

I normally don't like electronic music that much, but I could get used to this \oo/

 

(this is called deathstep, as it should have some similarities with death metal, that's what I've read on youtube, I didn't discovered them :D )

And a very cool dubstep song.

The only thing that bothers me especially with dubstep is the beat. In most cases it is just a monotonuous boom-boom boom-boom. (Like someone walking with two different shoes one, maybe that's what the name comes from, I don't know). However, as someone who mainly hears black and death metal I somehow expect more or less complex melodies to be accompanied by complex beats. The beats in deathstep songs (or drops, how they are seemed to be called, what does that even mean) are a bit better regarding that aspect.

First song you posted is just heavy DnB, Obs.

's a playlist of a couple similar songs.

The rest is just hard dubstep. Not sure why anyone would call it deathstep.

 

"A drop" is the moment where the song kicks in full force. Usually the first 55 seconds of a song or so are lighter, and then at 0:55 the heavy bass kicks in along with the beat and stuff.

You can call me Phi, Numbers, Digits, Ratio, 16, 1618, or whatever really, as long as it's not Phil.

Thank you for the "drop explanation. I must say that this name is a bit counterintuitive. If you drop something it falls down, or in other words it's going down, which is something negative. In this music if the drop comes I normally start smiling if I like the song), which is positive. However.

Metal seems to have a history with games, Doom is a classic example, with a great many of it's tracks either being inspired by or almost clones of old songs by Slayer, Metallica etc.

Having read through this entire thread, I can safely say I don't know what I'm supposed to post. So here's Batman picking up women:

And if we need some actual music, here's The Mad Violinist:

He rolls with a hip hop/classical fusion group, and he's the "lead" performer for most of their stuff. It's badass.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.
