Code Orange's "Underneath" should be in The Gateway

Daniel 3 years ago

Code Orange's 2020 "Underneath" album is very much a combination of metalcore & alternative metal with the industrial elements layered over the top. In fact, I'm surprised that it's not already in The Gateway actually as the the alternative component is easily as strong as the industrial one in my opinion. There's plenty of alternative metal & even Linkin Park/Korn style nu metal in Code Orange's sound with a number of tracks that have nothing to do with metalcore whatsoever so I think it warrants inclusion in The Gateway under the Alternative Metal genre.

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's "Infest The Rats' Nest" isn't thrash metal

Tymell 3 years ago

With you on this one: there's a strong thrash influence present, but to me it feels like a stoner metal piece with as much influence from punk as from thrash.

Blood Ceremony's debut should be in The Fallen

Daniel 3 years ago

So I finally got around to checking this album out over the last day or so & I have to admit that I disagree about it being a metal release. There are a lot more components to Blood Ceremony's sound than just doom metal with psychedelic rock, stoner rock & progressive rock all playing a strong role along with the odd bit of folk. I can definitely see where the two of you are coming from as there's no denying that there are Iommi-worshipping doom metal riffs here but the guitar tone is centered in hard rock territory which gives the album more of a rock feel & this is accentuated by the flute, organ & vocals to leave me feeling that a dual heavy psych/stoner rock primary is all I think this needs. I mean by definition stoner rock "combines blues rock, psychedelia & the repetitive riffs of doom metal" & that sums this record up pretty well in my opinion so I've gone with a NO on this occasion.

I'd be interested in your thoughts on this one Ben.

Sarcofagus' "Cycle Of Life" is Progressive Metal

Daniel 3 years ago

The 1980 debut album "Cycle Of Life" from Finnish heavy metal outfit Sarcofagus is one of the earliest examples of Progressive Metal in my opinion & should therefore be located in The Infinite.
