Although the czechdeath cover from that Ingrowing/Exhumed split Something Sickened This Way Comes is really the only Regurgitate song anyone needs to hear; mayyybe Disgorging Foetus, although compare the two and it’s pretty much the same riff. I wonder why anti-vore isn’t as big of a fetish

Blind Guardian - Sacred Worlds

found that in that VIP playlist i downloaded here. never thought it'd be a full blown concert and IN-GAME no less!

This reminds me a lot of The Rescuers and the muted horns from when they were riding the albatross. The 70's seemed to be a good time for ascendant furries

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdiQxWnyl50

(Rabbits on the sidebar is also good if you can deal with a 13 minute song)

Some good mathcore music:

Converge - Fault and Fracture
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Panasonic Youth
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Prancer
Botch - To Our Friends In The Great White North
The Number Twelve Looks Like You - Imagine Nation Express
Genghis Tron - Board Up The House
Both Canada Songs and Hell Songs by Daughters

I will note right now that Mathcore music isn't something that everyone can enjoy so you don't like it, don't worry.

Uhh.. anti-vore?

dafuq

Ryuzaki_Izawa said:

dafuq

I mean whatever the opposite of vore is (not opposition to it)....I didn’t want to say regurgitation since, that’s already the name of the band and they’re fetishized by most grindcore enthusiasts anyway. But if vore has already become an established fetish for reasons I will never be able to explain, you’d think it’d stand to reason its inversion would have its share of devotees

The intro from that album that sounds like the audio track from such a thing is actually taken straight from the italian lovecraft classic Lucio Fulci’s The Gates of Hell, one of the greatest movies of all time. His previous film was the equally cult Zombie, released in Italy as Zombi 2, whereas Zombi 1 was just the local name for Dawn of the Dead which was in itself already an italian co-production. I’m surprised a lot of the crazy shit from these types of transgressive flicks haven’t already become fetishes in themselves, outside of some of the more obscure pornogrind stuff.....but I probably shouldn’t look too deeply to begin with, dafuq is the proper reaction after all lol

ImmortalityZen said:Mathcore

o.O mathcore? never heard of that genre.

think your right about it not being for everyone though. that first song reminds me of some of Maximum the Hormone's music. that said, i may like some of it but that genre could prove rather hit or miss with me.

edit: heres a few good ones i dug up years ago (couldn't find the OST). these songs were used in the DBZ movie: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan.

Gravity Pool - Won't Give In

Haji - Day After Day

Haji's Kitchen - Lost

Pantera - 10's

Tendril The Invisibles

pantera's not bad but personally i like the other 4 tracks MUCH more. :) pretty good music in that movie.

also have this, iirc it's from the animated movie, Tekken: The Meaning Of Life - The Offspring

I mainly just listen to Metalcore and Deathcore, nothing too special really. Also here is the shortest song according to Guiness World Records.

that reminds me, i was curious what the longest song was.

ACCCtually........ Napalm Death did a split with Electro Hippies, whose song Mega-Armageddon Death (Pt. 3) sounds just a little bit shorter.

Personally I think Guinness didn't count it because You Suffer has lyrics and this is just instrumental (as if it matters), but you can compare them side by side here and decide for yourself

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbtwObI_s4k

As for the longest song......well there’s always gonna be one longer just to spite the one that came before, but the longest I currently have – not counting the Moving Shadow continuous mix of the MSX 101.1 station on GTAIII (really more a of Timecode dj set)..... would be Dopesmoker by the band Sleep. Which is a single sixty-three and half minute monument of the heaviest drones ever riffed into a composition. I’m sure there’s something longer, but this is the only thing I’ve ever heard that’s actually worth listening to more than once

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIw7oeZKpZc

it's uhhh.........it's quite an experience

treos said:

[All hail The Great God Pan - hailx3 the satyrs’ return, Pan is awakened]

Somewhat of an idiosyncrasy is that the texts they use are typically in langue d’oc (occitan) which is a romance dialect from the pyrenees that used to be widespread with the troubadours during the feudal era. But with some exceptions like Andorra, most of these territories don’t exist as a country and the band uses french for practical purposes; so it’s just amusing to see it in the ecclesiastic template with the pagan themes they like to use, particularly on this album which is basically a tribute to medieval furry bacchanals (he is the mountain god of sexuality after all)

I find the range of traditional instruments just two guys are using really impressive too, such as: Bouzouki, dulcimer, mandolin, zither, hurdy-gurdy, zurna, bombard, arab lute, jew’s harp, box organ, goatskin bagpipes.....to name a few

Wish I could find more woodcuts like in that booklet.
Goya did some similarly inspired stuff but the crosshatching in those old prints is just the coolest

The Great Barrier Reefer by Bongripper is a song which is almost 80 minutes long.

EDM (Chill, Electro, Glitch Hop, Dubstep, Trap, House, mainly) is my favorite to listen to but I'm also into a lot of different Metal.

Hello treos :]

glitch hop can be quite nice indeed and hi mr. coincidence. :)

Jazz + Glitch Hop, what a nice combination.

I felt like sharing this (a reading of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" by Christopher Lee, with some music to accompany it).

I feel like it's really well done.

My favourite artists are Melanie Martinez (Tag you're it, Cake, and Crybaby are some great ones ^.^) Metric, Lana Del Rey, Nirvana, Lady Gaga (mostly acoustic that she does) Marina and the Diamonds (Teen Idle, and Oh No)
So yeah, random genres :v

I post this in the hope that others will recognize the humor in it.

hmmm...pirates obviously but were they korean or chinese? or does that even matter?

maybe it was the kind of mind that thought this was somehow a smart idea. (i'm fairly certain that such people weren't born with brains as that country had video games banned for years as they thought such things hurt they're little minds. or something like that.)

Mostly alternative rock, especially Imagine Dragons, but i also like electronic quite a bit too

I like it.

Two really neat songs mashed into one. I like it, I like it a lot.

Royal Scots Dragoon Guards

I really like this song. They have other really great music too though. I'm very impressed overall. Also the name? Royal Scots Dragoon Guards? That's a excellent name. Some military unit or something, I guess. Still though.

And now, for all of you children of all ages, here's some Jazz from Scatman

I like Scatman John. Seemed like a really sincere guy. And turning his stuttering handicap into an advantage to help him scat sing so well? That's really cool to me.

jazz? here is some jazz :P

speaking of, know any more like that? all i have is that and maybe a couple of tracks from cowboy bebop that may be jazz and i rather like that kind of jazz music.

which reminds me...huh, only one new page after so long? must've been at least 2-3 months since i last checked. that Lackadaisy comic, i mean.

Here is a pretty neat song by stoner rock/sludge metal band Red Fang. I hope some of you enjoy it.

I dunno why but this past days this song has been stuck in my head especially at min 1:54

I've been bouncing between Bubblegum Dance music and Experimental music recently.

Dr. Macdoo - Under the Kilt
John Cage - Daughters of the Lonesome Isle

I don't know. It amuses me that I can enjoy both of those. The first sort is designed to be as generally appealing and commercial as possible, while the second is as opposite from that mentality as it is possible to get. But what can I say? I enjoy listening to them both.

Actually I've been looking more into experimental music recently. It is, naturally, an incredibly diverse category, by it's very nature. If anyone knows of any experimental stuff that they don't mind sharing, I'd love to hear it.

Also Treos, I'll keep an eye out for jazz similar to that you just linked, but it would be helpful if you could explain just what you like about it. The style? The instruments? The pace? Also, did you looked through the Jazz category in my megalist and see the two bebop songs already? If so, were either of those similar to what you're looking for?

Again though, I'll keep an eye out.

2YR, 40​:​28​.​649

first new album under the Halley Labs album label and it sounds great. :) i wonder if that means lapfox will be at it's end before long and they move entirely to the halley labs label.

It is a competition between different DJs, the time is calculated & they have a limited time to sing their song.

The competition is in its finals, and the faggot I posted this video has succeded to reach finals.

On Thursday the winner would be known.

It's time you mortals listened to some REAL music.

This album, as well as everything else by Two Steps From Hell was recommended to me by a good friend of mine on fanfiction.net.

Hopefully, I can recommend a few of you into enjoying this music as well.

It's certainly better than the garbage that is played out most of the time on the normal media.

I've found a ton of new music genres and styles in the last week or so, but I think my favorite song that I've found thus far has been Fanfare Ciocărlia - Asfalt Tango which is Balkan Brass, I suppose?

I've found some forty new songs since I posted my mega-list. If you guys enjoyed that music spam, I can do something similar to that again eventually.

somehow you just reminded me of a song in a old flash video.

here it is. i remember it because i went looking through it in a swf editor once and the song title was...Alternative Polka iirc. lol well, it's certainly different. theres another song in the flash Dumbass Mario and no, it's nothing like this one.

I probably don't need to tell you all about the circuitous menagerie of actors who variously played James Bond at one point or another.......however many people forget about George Lazenby, who was the only one to ever do it just once, On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

What even fewer people recall, is that the film he made a few years after it, The Man From Hong Kong, is basically a 007 flick in everything but name, and is actually even better for it. Where else could you see a kung-fu showdown on top of Ayers Rock...in fact this was the very first Australian-HK joint coproduction

And as for the themesong....well.....

i don't remember (and don't care to go digging through 7+ pages of forum thread to check >.>) but has Daft Punk been posted here yet?

edit: was just listening to that VIP playlist and heard this: Zone Of The Enders: Beyond the bounds fea. K Á R Y Y N - Eshericks Remix -

took a few searches to find it (long track title) but it's pretty good. lyrics can be found here

I try to keep my tastes as varied and open-minded as possible. Lately my primary focuses have been experimental/underground Hip Hop, Vaporwave, Post-Punk, Post-Rock, Blackgaze (Black Metal blended with Shoegaze and Post-Rock elements), Funk and Folk. Plus I like going around and finding rare old recordings on YouTube channels like 'Funked Up East' (which has a shit-ton of great recordings of many different genres from 50's/60's/70's Soviet musicians and that sort of thing), that usually yields some pretty interesting results.

Since I was a kid I've been into Punk and Psychedelic Rock, got WAY into Shoegaze in my early teens (hence my name, they're my favorite band in the genre), acquired a taste for loads of different kinds of Metal around that time too. My family is also fanatical about Classical so of course I've got some of that in my collection as well.

I'll give a link for an example of my favorite artists in each genre I just name-dropped.

Hip Hop
Vaporwave
Post-Punk
Post-Rock
Blackgaze
Funk
Folk
Punk
Psychedelic Rock
Shoegaze
Classical
Metal (Thrash Metal was my first love in the Metal world so that's what I linked in that one)

Also here's a link to that Funked Up East channel. Browse around on there and you'll probably find something really cool. They have SO many genres to choose from.

RULES OF NATURE!!!

I found three new genres that happen start with "Z". The coincidence of that amuses me.

First, let's get the one out of the way that I don't think most of you will care about. Znamenny Chanting.

Blazhen Muhz
I can't type in Russian and I forgot to copypaste before closing the link.

Now, for the next. I know someone in here was a huge fan of progressive rock. From what I've found, this is a subgenre of progressive rock: Zeuhl.

Magma - Hortz Fur Dehn Stekehn West

And finally! The one I've wanted to get to... It's basically grindcore, inspired by animals. Sometimes with animal singers. There's a band called Hatebeak who's lead singer is a parrot. That's not this though. This is, however, inspired by bird calls. This is my favorite of the album, but "The Black-Bellied Bustard" is a good one as well.

The Spangled Drongo

Now here's the thing I love about it. The name of this style of grindcore?

Zoogrind.

GameManiac said:

RULES OF NATURE!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CevzIXAtX2g

Dude. You are the first person I've ever seen who actually knew what Zeuhl was.

You should seriously check out Magma's one-off sideproject erring heavier on the psych/fusion spectrum called Univeria Zekt; their sole album The Unnamables is one of the best in the genre. Just as the first 3:40 of Kobaïa on the eponymous Magma LP is pretty much straight jazz fusion (and some of the best EVER laid to tape), it seems to actually sound a lot better without choral arrangements.

Although THE best has got to be the non-album single (although recorded outtake from Kohntarkosz sessions) – Mekanik Machine.
I still have yet to hear something quite as deranged as this; and it's somewhat amusing to think these guys had already taken prog to such extents that it inverted into its own genre, at the same time Rush was still aping Zeppelin riffs on their self-titled haha...

And if you're on a grind binge lately, there's another band who's been around almost as long as Napalm Death (though they were still playing anarcho on the Bullshit Detector comps at the time) who sings almost exclusively about animal liberation, called Agathocles. They're pretty well known though I've only just started delving the massive masssssssivvvvvveeeee discography...funnily they were always off my radar until they did a split with Nunslaughter; this very one in fact – one of the few who can legitimately be called living legends...

Gottdamm, there's still so much great shit posted to discuss but......these always get too fkn long

This could fit in nicely to the potential repertoire of Bad Dragon themesongs

Make a hole.......make it wide

(Black Sabbath + Blue Cheer) / Green River = SUPERFUZZ BIGMUFF

Speaking of Bad Dragon themesongs...

Anyway, I appreciate the links. I'll take a look at them soon. Though I wouldn't say I am on a grindcore binge. More, I'm in a constant state of looking for new things. To that end, I don't like to actually stay in one general class of music for too long.

The thing I love about music is the diversity of it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CevzIXAtX2g

Ow, my sides hurt too much from laughing.

I just learned the difference between Bebop and Hard Bop last night.

Dizzy Gillespie - Bebop

Take a wild guess at which of the two that one is.

Seriously though. Apparently Bebop tends to be faster, tends to start off on the improvisation and solos right away, and has less of a focus on melody, whereas Hard Bop plays the melody for a bit before getting into things, tends to be a bit slower, and was influenced by blues and gospel.

As to that song in particular, Dizzy Gillespie is sort of amazing. Saw a video of him playing... Not a song I particularly liked, but, just watch:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvIXzeDLpMw&t=120

That cheek volume! He's like some sort of wonderful frog-man.

I am bra

The new Neon Indian album is pretty fantastic, I highly recommend it.

Umm, you should probably quit listening to the radio and thinking it's a good indicator of today's music overall... Just sayin'. No matter what decade, radio has always been that simplistic and has NEVER been a good judge of the tastes of the time. You'll be very pleasantly surprised when you start looking in better places. Go on Bandcamp or Soundcloud or some other site like that and genre browse a little bit. Take your time and listen to whatever grabs your attention. That's how I find a lot of my favorite artists these days. The good music is there, you need only seek it out.

God bless both of you. I'm on that same bandwagon where most of what's on the radio is absolute garbage. I swear, if I listen to another generic song about a going to a bar, I'm going drive my car through one.

By the way, have any of you noticed my Wall of Music? I need to update it with the recent music I've downloaded, such as those from the Metal Gear franchise.

GameManiac said:
stuff

nice music wall and i see you mentioned dragon ball in there too. i actually finished downloading and got to see the new dbz movie, resurrection 'F' last night. pretty good fight and all but i think the new techniques and the HUGE increase in animation quality is what really has my attention in this and the battle of gods movies. it's way better looking than the original dbz anime (which is still pretty good...bit old at this point but good).

the way they made the title theme sound in resurrection F makes me wish it was a full length song. sadly the only thing over the 3 minute mark was the ending song (that was the only actual song too actually). >.> kinda a waste to get that movies soundtracks unless you just want that one track as the rest are just bgm music.

think i might check out the english subbed version of DB Super, though, as i'm sure it'll look great with that new art style. oh and not to spoil anything about that new series but it looks like these last 2 movies will be considered canon as the first 2 sagas will be based on those events.

eh, not too surprising really. here, take a look through The Cutting Room Floor. ;) it's amazing the amount of stuff developers leave behind when a game is released.

for example, you know zero's purple nightmare color palette in MMX6? scroll down to the unused zero palettes? section and there you'll see that "nightmare zero" had been around since the very first MMX game.

so that info on crash bandicoot isn't all that surprising. actually, if it's not there already,you could probably point this out and get it added to the games page on the cutting room floor site.

What do you all think were the best albums that were released this year? For me I think a hell of a lot of good stuff got released this year but I've managed to get it down to a top 5:

1: The Book Of Souls - Iron Maiden (Track 2: Speed Of Light)
2: Underworld - Symphony X (Track 5: Kiss Of Fire)
3: Haven - Kamelot (Track 10: Liar Liar)
4: Silence In The Snow - Trivium (Track 2: Silence In The Snow)
5: Eternal - Stratovarius (Track 1: My Eternal Dream)

What's your top picks of 2015?

DragonFox69 said:
1: The Book Of Souls - Iron Maiden (Track 2: Speed Of Light)

How is this anyway? I saw them on the last show of the Final Frontier tour and it was awesome (especially when Bruce dedicated Blood Brothers to Dio), then I actually got the album and my disappointment was palpable, especially compared to masterpiece that was A Matter of Life and Death - but then the world was caught up in antiwar fervor which actually made for a relevant approach at the time, whereas Final Frontier just seemed like 'oh new decade? sppppaaaacceeeee'. Where The Wild Winds Blow was the only that seemed to really justify its overblown arrangement, and even that seems paltry compared to this new one.

I've heard a lot of really good stuff this year, but in terms of contemporary releases...it's been pretty bare. Though I did find one brand new group entirely by chance who are fuckin incredible called –––

Admiral Funk and the Cosmic Ostrich Service

That 3-track EP has some of the best acid jams I've heard since the original psychedelic wave splintered in the early 70's

Phylax said:

Personally I think it's their best album for a long time now (for the record I believe that Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son is their best work). As well as the track I linked there are several others that really stand out, like "The Red And The Black", "Death Or Glory" and "Empire Of The Clouds".

Phylax said:

Yeah, A Matter Of Life And Death was a hard act to follow. I think that's actually the main reason why The Final Frontier gets so much criticism (had it come out after, say, Brave New World people would have been more on board with what they were doing I feel). I quite liked it though, tracks like "Mother Of Mercy", "The Talisman" and "Coming Home" are just too good to ignore.

Phylax said:

Nice! I love it when that happens! :)

i just happened to be checking for anything new last night and it looks like there was a nice halloween treat released over at OCRemix: Vampire Variations

a 3 volume set of albums covering Castlevania (NES, volume I), Rondo of Blood (PC Engine CD, volume II), Bloodlines (Sega Genesis, volume II), and Super Castlevania IV (SNES, volume III)

i only managed to get the 1st volume downloaded last night as my internet isn't the best and counting the artwork and other stuff it came to be around 960MB+ in size not counting the FLAC files since i don't bother with those.

still, so far it all sounds pretty good. i'm hoping the other 2 volumes turn out just as good.

Yes, this was actually released on 45......in 1969

which makes those 'Special Sound Effects' all the more, uh...interesting

(especially for the Northwest German Radio Orchestra of Hamburg....must've made decent scale back then)

No one seems to know anything about Chocobo's Dungeon (2). So, here, have one of my favorite songs from that game:

Phantom Dimension

Most of the songs I suspect I like mostly for nostalgia reasons, but that song I think I'd like even if I had never played the game.

You guys seem to really tend towards VGM. But I can't help myself from posting other stuff as well.

Ralph Vaughan Williams - Tuba Concerto
Edith Piaf - Non, Je ne Regrette Rien

There. Some classical and chanson.

Edit: I can't help myself posting a couple others from Chocobo's Dungeon 2:

Story of the Bottom of the Sea
Searching For Treasure

I don't know about most of the games, but Chocobo's Dungeon 2 was actually quite fun. You should maybe try it if you get a chance? Maybe you'd like it. Heck, I should play that again sometime. Though my character is ungodly powerful - I'd have to make a new one for any challenge.

I might, but I'm currently going through all of the main Final Fantasy games in entry order. I've played Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls (GBA), Final Fantasy III DS, Final Fantasy IV (DS), and Final Fantasy V Advance. And in terms of spin-offs, I've played the GBA and DS Final Fantasy Tactics series, as well as every single Kingdom Hearts games.

Final Fantasy VI Advance is next on my list.

And to keep the Music thread going, you don't know TRUE music until you've heard Two Steps From Hell's latest Battlecry album.

Woah woah woah hold up. Are you telling me you skipped the original Final Fantasy Tactics?

In my opinion, the original Final Fantasy Tactics was the best. Not just of the Tactics series, but of the entire Final Fantasy series as a whole.

I mean, I guess you never said you weren't going to get to it eventually. Just... somehow everyone's played the Gameboy versions, and they are far inferior, which is majorly disappointing.

I guess I should keep the music thread going too though.

I was looking for some song made entirely out of percussion. This was the closet I found:

I'm sure there are others but I can't find them.

Haha I remember seeing those on latenight public television all the time.....Acoustic Curves is still the best one, almost bought the DVD until they started uploading anyway

But, the real question remains... was[/i] Elvis a furry...? Or maybe he just spent a lot of time at Sandoz Labs...oh christ were those early fursuits unappealing though

This made me realize I never really looked much into Elvis. I probably should, one of these days.

Unrelated to that though, I found the greatest thing ever, music-wise.

One thing I've always wanted was, I wanted to hear a sea lion / seal love song. But such a thing could not possibly exist, right? Wrong.

You have no clue how happy I am to find this. Seriously, what are the odds of such a thing existing? But it does!

I usually listen to instrumental music, especially when I'm working, it can be "background music", video game music, music from animation, stuff like that, I don't mind, it just helps me get focused.
