Full Video Available on my Patreon link in Description. Not trying to be a react channel by any means but I thought this would be a fun video idea😘
Cannibal Corpse has the distinction of being the first death metal band to achieve Platinum status for album sales. Only took thirty years and six albums collectively lol
@@Lord_Raptor That's not true. Far Beyond Driven peaked at #1, but didn't debut there. Also, Metallica ("black album" debuted at #1 in 1991, 3 years before Far Beyond Driven.
@@Lord_Raptor Sigh, that myth again. The first metal album to DEBUT at number one was Skid Row's "Slave To The Grind" , and was quickly followed by Metallica's self titled album. Of course though, the first metal album to reach number one was Quiet Riot's "Metal Health".
@@VampireJack10 You're right, I misread my source. For some reason it says "peaked at #1" and "by March it hit #1" but never says "debuted." My other point stands, but I got this one wrong.
Burzum is darkness not in Norwegian, but in the black speech, which was spoken by the orcs in the Lord of the Rings. This word is part of the inscription on the ring of power
Well it's nice if you share the same music taste but it doesn't matter. In our relationship I'm the metalhead and my partner doesn't get it but still went to a metal festival with me. It's be great if I got him to "understand" metal but in the end it doesn't matter.
Well yeah. Thats how attraction works with women. Women love a man who is passionate about something. She doesnt have to be into it herself but the fact he's into it and passionate about it is cute and attractive to her. Many women will tell you this.
Fun fact, the lead singer of Cannibal Corpse (George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher) spends his free time playing claw machine games and donating all his winnings to children's hospitals
Remember (for old farts like me) . . . Presidential candidate Bob Dole, for some reason someone in his staff told him to mention 2 Live Crew and Cannibal Corpse in a speech ("Shock Rock") and as a CC member said "Thank You!" because it BOOSTED sales and more people learned about them (and thanks to Jim Carey). - Pepperidge Farm Remembers
I'm surprised you didn't let her hear Opeth. That's a band I think she'd love. Blackwater Park, Ghost Reveries, Deliverance, and Damnation and Watershed. Anything from those albums.
@@drphdmd7064 Ah a no Growls person. Yeah those 4 albums sucked I thought. But that's why music is always subjective and never objective. To each their own.
metal is like coffee or alcohol. some people try it and love the taste. some think its bitter or bad, but they get used to the bitter part and learn to recognize all the flavors beneath. and some just dont like it
Listening to that sped up chipmunk voice explaining to her about Death and the origins of death metal reminds me of that one meme of the guy and the girl in the stands at a baseball game, where the dudes got on the sunglasses and he’s like gripping this woman by the back of the neck like a fucking gorilla trying to explain something to her😂😂😂😂
Yeah but that was obviously a "Date" (and yeah, just thinking about that meme gives me a major cringe), trying to impress a woman that wanted to RUN screaming. The Dude is MARRIED to a pretty cool woman that didn't like Metal, willing to explore it. That's what being married is all about. Come on dude . . . We ARE Nerds :p. Like Metal . . . we are different subgenres of a kind of Geek.
"Three minutes is long" -Funeral Doom leaves the chat "It's kinda nice to listen to something slower" -Funeral Doom enters the chat Since she likes Norse mythology, she'll be pleased to learn that Viking Metal is a thing. Definitely do this again but with Viking Metal bands and Viking themed bands.
@@evarvy Yeah, it's a pretty niche genre that came out of the black metal scene. The band Bathory started the genre. The first few albums are pure black metal, but then starting with the 1988 album Blood Fire Death saw a shift in style that was coined Viking metal. There are bands that also just have Viking themes, such as the death metal bands Unleashed and Amon Amarth, that don't have anything to do with Viking metal as a genre.
@@VARVIS_ now that I have finished the video, you should 100% show her some Spawn of Possession and Periphery for a part 2, I do think she will like the clean singing in Periphery and maybe the more relaxed feeling of "Apparition" by Spawn
Literally every Meshuggah song IMO. One of my top 5 metal bands. Yes, please listen to more! Also, with all due respect, there are more death metal or black metal bands than extreme metal bands in this IMO. Bands like BTBAM, Today Is the Day, Dillinger Escape Plan, IWABO, Lorna Shore and Infant Annihilator are more extreme metal . But I totally get if you're trying to work your way up with these bands, I love most of them myself (TAIM, Knocked Loose and Archspire are f***ing sick). Anyway, cheers!
When I was a teenager my mom would pound on my door and say "turn down that damn growl music." I used to think it was an insult but it is growl music, and I love it. \m/
This is my wifes experience on every road trip over the last 25 years lol. She doesn't love metal but also doesn't hate it, but she definitely knows a shit ton about it hahaha.
My missus of 20 years tolerates it. She's a fan of some of the rock stuff like Bon Jovi, GnR, Meat Loaf etc, which is fine - but now she's not too surprised by what I put on anymore!
@@VARVIS_I actually found it weird that she put Burzum so low and Immortal so high... Black Metal has a tendency to be clearer vocally than Death metal. Less growling.
You should do female growl bands, as example: Arch Enemy with Angela Gossow (that inspired alot of new females to do it) and Also with Alissa White-Gluz. Jinjer, Spiritbox, Konvent, Sisters Of Suffocation, Asagraum (One of few black metal bands that only have females), Crypta, Nervosa and Abnormality.
Metal has become so all encompassing there is a genre out there for everyone. You should introduce your wife to the Band Tyr, i think anything off the album Ragnarok she would enjoy.
I have a few suggestions for future videos. Satyricon - King Entombed - Wolverine Blues Meshuggah - Bleed Cephalic Carnage - Ohwurm Folterkammer - Algolagnia She will definitely like Infant Annihilator less than Cannibal Corpse, but Cattle Decapitation might go either way. Or you can show her Brojob, LOL. If she wants to hear shorter songs, show her Grindcore and Powerviolence. She mentioned Techical Death Metal made her think it was going to be Techno Death Metal, so you could show her Industrial Death Metal like some old Fear Factory. I'd also like to hear what she has to say about early Dillinger Escape Plan, Calculating Infinity or Under The Running Board era.
That's honestly so sweet that your darling wife was open to exploring metal after trying to backpedal, I only wish my friends and family took the same amount of time to try and learn more about that genre.
To be fair after discovering tech death I hardly listen to other metal genres. They just have everything I need to start my day - like a strong espresso and a tray of chocolate chip cookies. Not gonna lie though stuff like Burzum is growing on me. I love BM vocals and if the song has good production quality I'm all over it.
Yeah after like 20 years of listening to metal I am also starting to like black metal, which I didnt before. Especially some modern black metal bands like Gaerea and Mgla.
For how long have you been only listening to tech death? Personally I can't listen to the same genre forever or I'll burn out on it and potentially ruin it for me, I have to alternate my genres.
The interest in Meshuggah, dude you have to introduce her to Tesseract, they really pushed djent into a whole new world while making it more accessible for people who wouldn't listen to the sub genre... I think Nascent or one of the concealing fate songs from their 2011 album would be perfect
I love how metal can be so human & also such an escape. It can get in ur feels...some days u just need a gutteral roar! You should show her Lorna Shore...for really modern death metal/deathcore - "To The Hellfire!' is stunning.
SO, I've recently come across your channel. I love it!!! Have you run Opeth and Dream Theater to show song length for her yet? Lol. Awesome stuff guys! Keep it going!!!!!
This video was a lot of fun to watch and I like that she is getting into metal slowly, thy art is murder reign of darkness is one of my favourite songs and I love archspire sorry if I spelt their name wrong I hope you guys make this a series because it would be fun to see her turn into a metal head Keep up the awesome work
I'm impressed she can actually focus on the music, while he is all over the place and try to hum along too. Great video anyway and I'd definitely watch more of this.
Love the picks, great songs. Please make this a series but for next episode ease her into metal with some easier to listen to tracks. Even going with in flames you could for I am above. Or some a7x. Maybe trivium, periphery, killswitch, polaris, of mice and men (sorry I realise I'm mostly listing metalcore but it could be a good genre to start her on cause it has those heavy vocals but the cleans make it easier to listen to for people starting on metal.) You could even try some System of a down.
This is essentially me and my bf, but he already appreciated a level of metal. Then we came togetherness through elf metal and old school black metal. I love Death and that was my first black metal band I said he would get down too. I wasn't wrong.
Burzum does not mean darkness in Norwegian, it means Darkness in Tolkien's Black Speech from the Lord of the Rings (Varg is a bit of a Tolkien/fantasy nerd). Also, originally this song was meant to be called Burzum and was supposed to be on his self titled debut album, that's why the name was later changed to Dunkelheit to still kind of have the same name :)
@@evarvy this video gives me h❤ pe. I love metal, I make metal music but I don't want to restrict my dating pool to only ladies who like the music I like. BTW, I was a teen in the 90s, Comic Sans was definitely not seen as a font you'd use if you want your album to look professional haha. I like this font, but it is very childish.
I've been a life long metal head, starting with the not really heavy metal band KISS when I was like 6. I'm currently 51. My boyfriend is not a fan of metal. His favorite artist is Michael Jackson...lol...but he's been forced to listen to my music the last 6 years and has warmed up to a few bands like Slipknot, Korn, Rammstein, GWAR and even Six Feet Under...lol...he tolerates Cannibal Corpse and Deicide...😂
I had that same thought about Chucks cadences when I first heard Death, Immediately thought it’s was unique. Easily my favorite lyricist of all time, everything he writes is just so well thought out.
If your wife is still interested in hearing "techno metal" Revive my Wounds by Sybreed would be a good recommendation ;) Not my most listened to genre but very possibly my favorite "accessible" metal song of all fucking time.
Archspire's vocalist Oliver got his soeed style by the midwest chopper style of rapper, thans to artists like Tech N9ne (also a metalhead himself). The beginning of their song "Calamus will Animate" is based on Tech's song "Stamina" in rhythm.
great touch with Burzum's Dunkelheit (I just recently in the last few years became a big fan of Burzum/Varg's songs), but I'm shocked you did not include some Napalm Death! No extreme metal compilation is such without Napalm Death!! 😄
This was very entertaining. I always get a kick out of hearing non-metalheads' opinions, like how she said Meshuggah sounded like a movie's action sequence. Oh and just to contribute to the overall nerdiness, ACKSHUALLY Burzum means "darkness" in the Black Speech (the language of Mordor).
Sounds like you're like me when it comes to Cannibal. My favorite album by far is The Bleeding because it's super hooky and full of fantastic songs. Check it out. Also, Burzum means darkness in Black Speech.
Next one, you gotta show her the songs that show metal for the beauty it is. Death - Voice of the Soul Insomnium - Ephemeral Parkway Drive - Carrion Ne Obliviscaris - Forget Not Stuff like that, man. In Flames deserves a reroll too, maybe "Take This Life" just to show off the newer versions of them. Crimson Shadow - Battle Hard Any Amoranthe for extra points for the power metal stuff
OOh, sorry I'm commenting as I'm watching lol. Check out Ne Obliviscaris! They are kinda neoclassical metal. The song Equus is about the terrible loss of life during an Australian bush fire. I just saw them live & they were phenomenal!
This was fun to watch, and I'm about on par with her ratings. As a drummer, have you ever watched Austin Archey from Lorna Shore do an isolated playthrough of any of his songs? You need to. Any of the meinl cymbals vids. Your wife would very much dislike Will Ramos' vocals, but like me, may appreciate the sheer talent he possesses. Next- Jinjer "Pisces"! A song about duality; both the lyrics and her voice Last- Speaking of DMT entities (but not the bad "you aren't ready for this" ones)- I just came across a song by Willow Smith called "Symptom Of Life" she wrote from her Ayahuasca experiences. Give it a listen and read the lyrics as you do. If you know, you know. If any of you want to know- search up "DMT: The Spirit Molecule" and go to about the 30min mark and listen to the wild accounts from Rick Strassman's test subjects. She went deep on that one. Cheers
I'm new to the channel! New sub btw. 20:58 yhea bands should definitely start to do it more often Like we're so accostumated with long songs, that sometimes when we listen to one with like 2/3 minutes we get some satisfaction, like "dude this was short, but it was very nice".
At 26:27 i YELLD "No no no no no no no" at my Screen :D :D As an perfectionist myself, i know exactly how i want something when it is specific. And in e.g. Black Metal (Or Noise, Industrial, Power Electronics, Cavernous Death metal, Techno, DnB etc. and so on and so on), i look for a certain Sound or Details and how it was done and released. Or when i do Music, trying to get Details or the whole Atmosphere to sound how i want it does not mean to strife for Everything sounds "perfect" by a Definition of High Fidelity Sound. In my case. Perfectionism means a lot of different Stuff to different People. I understand, that it feels like that from your point of view :D It is just, that making something on purpose a specific way, can be perfectionist stuff too :D Have a nice Week! Of course not everyone is that way or looks for a specific sound. Or when they do, their goal is different than what i am thinking about. 10 years ago i lived in another Town and at this time i was still "in the BM scene" (How weird that sounds. And Wrong). And there was a Party once and more than 20 People from the Friend circle were there and all of them were mainly listening to Black Metal. But none of them listened to Bands i liked and the other Way around. Its weird. Even within a Subgenre, there can be so much difference in what People look for or think sounds good.
This is probably not gonna happen, but I would really love to see your reaction/take on Lithuanian black metal band Nahash, specifically song Arcanum Triste if nothing else from the album Daath. Nahash was one of the bands at the forefront of Lithuanian death metal birth in the early 90s and the band is still active.
I'd personally recommend Receipt by The Black Dahlia Murder. (Rip Trevor) And Kingdom of Tyrants by Cattle Decapitation. Perfect blend of skill and melody!!!👊🏻🤘🏻
Since she likes melodies and Norse mythology, you gotta show her Falkenbach (any song really, I recommend Runes Shall You Know or When Gjallarhorn Will Sound). Also maybe some more melodic death metal, Insomnium is a band that even my wife likes, even though she’s not into extreme metal
Reminds me of taking friend to see In Flames/Meshugga/White Chapel. He finally understood why they’re awesome. Seeing them play up-close and the sound. He prefers mainstream stuff and techno. We share music interests, like KMFDM and NIN, but I’ve always listened to heavier music. Death, At The Gates, Chimaira, Dio, Nothingface, Nile, Cerphalic Carnage, Red Cord, Slayer, and on and on. I had played 3 Inches of Blood and Lamb of God to him when their first albums came out and they were exploding but he was never interested. Now I got him listening to Spiritbox and Gojira. Played two full Steel Panther and Iron Maiden albums with him driving long distance to see Gojira live with him once too. Haha
have her check out gojira’s latest two albums (fortitude and magma) theyre less mad and more accessible but still a bit mad, i think shes gonna like them because theyre a bit groovy and progressive
Emperor would have also been a good band with the symphonic element. You should introduce her to more metal that’s less angry boy stuff next. My Dying Bride, Swallow the Sun, Opeth, Ahab, Sleep, Nightwish, Blind Guardian etc. I think is a good mix.
Liked it! For the next round you might wanna do something different like: Be'Lakor - Venator, Ne Obliviscaris - As plague flowers the kaleidoskope, Trépas - Les hombres malades, Shylmagoghnar - Strata, Mgla - Age of Excuse II and some such maybe. That would warm my dark heart :)
if you continue doing that i would recommend showing her the ones who there's actually singing, or the mostly called "baddiecore" ones. like bad omens and bring me the horizon with their most recent stuff, sleep token, spiritbox and maybe a day to remember. i probabbly think its more acessible? i dont know, i think it should be (note: im not fluent so sorry if it has some errors or smth.) (EDIT: if she likes country show her countrycore, IM SHURE THAT ONE WILL BE A 10.)
kind of, i recommend the track demon or ghost from actually a country artist called Mitchel Tenpenny but in this song he features a metalcore (i think it is metalcore) band called Underoath, the song is really great and IT HAS SINGING
