That's some good stuff you own. 

thanks, I have a lot of good music from multiple genres I've been a music collector 7 years before I officially became a video game collector

hank God that music CD's are still being released physically new as well as second hand

Anyone listened to the new Weezer album? I’m loving it so far. Definitely one of their best in recent memory.

Last I head was the "black album" and man, it was terrible. I thought they'd gotten over their phase of trying to make cringe pop, but apparently not.

Andrew WK released some new music with "Babalon" and it's really good and completely different than anything he did before, I think I've listened to this song a bunch of times now.  He just seems like the coolest, nicest, most high energy dude, who seems to be all about being as feel good as possible, but here with Babalon, it's a much darker and more outright metal riffing and lyrics, the title confusing me at first as I learned "Babalon" is different from "Babylon" and has occult origins, and it seems like Andrew did all the music himself which he didn't do before and he kills it.  I knew he could do piano, it's a big thing he's known for in his music, but not everything else which is pretty awesome.  Even the piano stuff in this is more synthy than what he usually goes for.  If this is what the new album is going for, I'm all on board.  It's very different than any of his previous stuff, but you can still feel that energy he has through the music and those final notes, hitting that falsetto, it's impressive.  I remembered hearing it before on his previous album, but it's very buried in the mix, so it's not nearly as noticeable as it here.

I like the song more then the video personally, it reminded me a lot of  the band called "Domine" and their "Dragonlord (Tales Of Nobel Steel) album. It's good to know metal is going back to it roots now  these days. I am tired of all the grunge and alternative metal that still  plays constantly on the modern radio stations from the 2000's and 1990's I am tired of grudge bands I am sick grunge and I never liked Pearl Jam, I bought 3 or 4 Pearl Jam Albums and I never saw why people thought they were so great.

Can anyone recommend me some good, new metal? I've had a hard time finding good, new metal.

I'm into melodic death metal, metalcore, 80s thrash, classic metal, and hair metal. A little of the 90s/early 2000s nu-metal stuff, too, but not the rap-infused bands. Even a little progressive like Queensryche, Savatage, and Nightwish.

[kamikazekeeg]

Evile has a new album coming out and they are a a modern thrash band.

Nuclear Power Trio is a killer prog metal group who is sort of a "supergroup" I believe with the musicians involved, though I don't remember who they are,  no vocals though, but awesome instrumentation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN4xUDjPOSE

KOSM is one of my favorite newer bands, a prog metal band with a mixture of clean and harsh vocals, who have a Cthulu-esque/Bloodborne influence to their lyrics and even just released a Bloodborne inspired EP abit ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IObkAsGT7Gk

One of my most listened to songs from last year was Spiritbox "Holy Roller", and I dig them though I haven't gone too much into the songs, also could be sorta similar to KOSM with clean and harsh vocals, though this song is all harsh, but man it's a headbanger.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWE0sSZ9yLc

This is some of their clean vocal stuff.

I just noticed that Amorphis put out some new music and I liked one of their albums from before, it's like progressive/folk/power, so might lean into the bands you brought up towards the end, though they mix in some growling vocals too.

And for just kicks, Gloryhammer is that very not-serious power metal fun to have lol

There's probably a few other things I listened to over like the past year or two, I'll add them when I think of them.

[burningdoom]

Thanks. I'll check those out. I do know, and love me some Amorphis. \m/

Oh I like this, gives me similar vibes to the band Ghost due to having some similar influences.

So Misfits' schtick? But I'm digging it.

Also loving the new Amorphis.

Still exploring these lists...

Not a bad comparison. It's interesting for the fact it's just basically a Husband and Wife Duo who get the Invisible Man to play drums on their videos

Holy crap!

Wasn't sure how to talk about this one. BAND-MAID quickly shot up to being one of my personal favorite bands.

What are folks most uncommon or sort out of place music genre they listen to? Not to say that it's weird to like more than a few certain things, but I'm generally a metalhead, give me something loud, fast, and heavy, I'm golden, it's 80% of what I listen to with rock and punk and some other stuff peppered in depending on my mood.  I think the most out of place genre I'm into, when it's not like synthwave (Though I prefer heavier sounding synthwave with driving guitar, like Dance with the Dead or Carpenter Brut), would be Japanese City Pop.  If I want something super chill, this is something I really enjoy.  I don't know tons of it, but basically the music for the Bubblegum Crisis OVA's is great and I've found some good playlists on Youtube.  Not sure why I love it, they usually have pretty great bass going on and just overall a nice band with smooth Japanese vocals, it just hits right.
