Instrumental metal music? Yes, that's doable. I have plenty of good instrumentals to hear from this genre alone.

Leave please.

We've had our fun. I agree with Duff and ean5, if I hear from you once more, you're banned.

Animals as Leaders is pretty close to metal already. I don't really see where you're going with this, but yeah, they're good.

I've listened to some stuff by Anaal Nathrakh lately, and these guys are rather interesting. I don't know quite yet if I'm really enjoying their stuff, or if it's just... so brutal, so raw, so in your face and original, that I have to listen to it. However, I've only listened to one of their albums, and I have yet to explore more of their discography to know if they progressed in anyway throughout their career. The album I own is In the Constellation of the Black Widow. If you guys are interested by killer black metal/grindcore, I'd say these guys do quite the job.

In conclusion, I've still added these guys to my imaginary list of very very brutal bands alongside with Balrog and Infernal Stronghold. Anyway... if you guys know them, let me know. And if you know any other raw and brutal bands, outside of noisy and distortined disembodied "music", I'd be really happy if you could share.

Anaal Nathrakh - In The Constellation Of The Black Widow - Full-length

Anaal Nathrakh are awesome. I still love how they program their drums, gives it that cold, mechanical touch. I can't exactly recommend any one album, but I personally still think their debut full length is their best, but that's probably nostalgia.

I'll get back at you with some recs later.

That's why I love Aborym's earlier stuff too; the drums had this cold, mechanical feel as well.

I wouldn't trade the vocals of greats like Bruce Dickinson, Ozzie Osbourne, Ronnie James Dio, James LaBrie, Alice Cooper, hell, even James Hetfield or Dave Mustaine to have just instrumental metal.

Instrumentals have their place in Metal, just not all of it.

Mick Kenney from Anaal Nathrakh had a side project called Professor Fate, which wasn't metal, but was really awesome. The album he did under that name is one of my favorite albums.

There went my chance to see Ghost live until they tour in the UK again.

I still haven't checked out Ghost. Is it still a mystery who the members are?

What happened? o.O

I took the wrong train tickets with me. What I had with me were for next month's train journey to see Helloween, Gamma Ray and Sonata Atctica.

I saw Ghost last year, it was outside and cold as fuck for some reason even though it was in the summer and the sun was shining, so it was pretty unenjoyable.
I listened to the new Enforcer album, it is probably their best album so far.

I assume he was talking about death growls, screams, shreiks, guttural vocals and basicaly anything that isn't "clean vocals" or anything stepping outside of the mental boundaries created by musicaly limited people...

I got myself two new albums :)

Accept - Balls To The Walls
Arch/Matheos - Sympathetic Resonance

And I am also getting into Nokturnal Mortum right now, and I have to say that their music is just... awesome!

Nokturnal Mortum - Ð"Ð¾Ð»Ð¾Ñ Ð¡Ñ'алÑ-

I've been getting into Summoning a lot recently. Which is odd, considering when I first listened I wasn't all that interested in them, but the more I do, the more I love it. Especially Minas Morgul which has some really great tracks.

And going along with what Sense-Offender said, I have also not yet listened to Ghost. I'm guessing I'm missing out?

I like their songs "Valkyries" and "White Tower". Simply amazing.

Oh....that sucks. Well hopefully it wont bee too long before they tour in the UK again.

They seem to be like Devin Townsend in terms of frequent UK shows. I'm starting to wonder if Devin even plays outside this country.

I'm feeling better since my last post here. Hopefully I have one hell of a show for Helloween, Gamma Ray and Sonata Arctica. I suppose it's getting FOUR T-shirts for that week alone.

Just to start an interesting discussion here, a lot of people criticize Nokturnal Mortum for being racist. What do you guys think? I personally don't listen to their stuff enough to make a fair judgement, but I'm curious to hear what you guys think.

All their lyrics are in ukrainian, and they're so screeched I wouldn't understand them, racist or not.
