I think there would be more chance of Lex liking a metal band than Tuomas

Myrkur's not a bad choice actually. It's like Tori Amos's idea of black metal

Did Lex like the last Chelsea Wolfe album?
― steely dad (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 10 February 2017 09:09 (seven years ago) link
yup iirc

I think so. He liked Swans too (i know they're not metal but...) Lex isn't as closeminded as some think. If you give a good description of what it's like and why he might like it he will give it a listen. He listened to some pfunk I sent his way one time.
If someone whose tastes he respects likes something he will also give it a try.

i listened to Sepultura Roots recently and fell in love with it, based on Whiney's recommendation in a similar thread (something about Groovy metal bands) can anyone recommend me more stuff like that
― flopson, Friday, 10 February 2017 11:38 (seven years ago) link
I cant as I hated groove metal especially Pantera and the like (Though i never saw Sepultura in that mould) but I guess plenty here could recommend you what they liked.

Corrosion Of Conformity were great and I think their pepper era stuff does count but is really good.
Some bands listed here like Mastodon and Meshuggah are def not groove metal.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_groove_metal_bandsProng I think mightve gone in that direction but it was not their good stuff.

early lamb of god was really great until they went groove metal imo
― Odysseus, Friday, 10 February 2017 11:54 (seven years ago) link
Roots is excellent in parts. Far Beyond Driven is probably the Pantera album to go for in the groove-metal vein. From that wiki list, Clutch are good, i suppose. White Zombie aren't listed but aren't a million miles away.

based on "mausoleum" i'd say it's more lorena mckennit's idea of black metal!

or dead can dance, i can't decide

You might enjoy Sep's Chaos AD as well, more of a straight metal album but starting to incorporate the influences foun in Roots.
― chap, Friday, 10 February 2017 14:18 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, I would also look up Soulfly which is the band Max C started to follow up on Roots.
Not the same thing but Clutch's Transnational Speedway League is an absolute classic. I did not even realize Clutch had 12 albums! I'm prob way overdue to tackle their whole discography.
― steely dad (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 10 February 2017 19:00 (seven years ago) link
That was their best album imo but also an anomaly in their discography as it was more post-hardcore than the stoner rock they became famous for

Pick one at random. They're all exactly the same.

I like the *sounds* of Myrkur but a lot of her album sounds half-finished
― ultros ultros-ghali, Friday, 10 February 2017 19:26 (seven years ago) link
Yeah I mean I thought the album was a solid B-minus but theoretically Lex wd be looking for different things out of BM than I would
― steely dad (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 10 February 2017 19:33 (seven years ago) link
the record i heard was "mausoleum" which is her and a choir in a crypt, no metal at all. i guess it's not typical of her? but it sounds better than when she tries to do the black metal thing.
― increasingly bonkers (rushomancy), Friday, 10 February 2017 19:38 (seven years ago) link
She should collaborate with Mesarthim on her next album

oh btw the answer to this thread is blood command

xps- i kinda figured a good groove metal album is some lightning in a bottle shit, and Roots was a 'one good album in an otherwise meritless genre' situation but i'll check some of these out, thx. enjoying Clutch rn, this music makes me lol but in a good way
