He’s right! I don’t know if we’ve talked about it, but the new DOOM is recruiting a choir of death metal singers and honestly that will probably sound awful buuuut
Is there such a thing as “a choir of death metal singers” wouldn’t they all just go BLOOOOAARRRGHGHGGHGHGGGGHGHHHHHH
Hello it is me, the dad with the dad opinions
There has not been such a thing afaik
That sounds awesome? I can only imagine that the acoustic harmony would make it sound eerily smooth

@zeal requested some metal recs over on my last.fm so i thought i’d just post some samples here
perhaps also share metal you enjoy, if you do…!
cloud rat is probably my favorite michigan band, off the top of my head? it’s uhhh emotional grindcore w/ some black metal influences
devil master’s first full length is one of my favorites in recent years, a delicious blend of black metal, death rock, goth, butt metal, etc
blood incantation worship cosmic death metal and have made some of the best of it
hooded menace make top notch finnish death/doom, this track and some others on their last album veer into an almost post-punk sound… check it out
no one knows what the dead think is new grindcore by guys from discordance axis—and where discordance axis liked to reference evangelion, here you’ll find they’ve been playing that nier
cattle decapitation are vegan deathgrind… the vocals on their newest album are something else
more to come… soon?!

YES, dead as dreams is an all-time favorite and a personally meaningful record to me, having discovered it back when it was still relatively shrouded in mystery when i lived in san francisco during the early/mid '00s

and if you like that, you may also enjoy dispirit, which is john gossard’s arguably even weirder, doomier black metal project. the man’s an underground metal legend in my eyes

who knows how long this thread will last, so i’ll just dump some more stuff here NOW
grindcore perfection w/ forays into drone, jazz, and hip-hop
yoga were weird, psychedelic black metal and drone
ghastly death/doom
jrpg grindcore (half joking, but the song is called “midgar rising”…)
couch slut is like the jesus lizard, but heavy enough to crush skulls into dust
check out howls of ebb if you like strange, skeletal black/death metal
if this thread continues for a bit i’ll start working my way back to older records, too
