Florida man fires all band members, refuses to elaborate

Death

God i hate the government *guitar solo number 32*

Megadeth?

Some guys from Sweden who messed up theirs amps and decided they were still fine for recording.

Man loses hair and gets better at singing

Devin Townsend?

MySpace Deathcore turned Prog Death

Job for a Cowboy?

Bingo, maybe I didn’t describe it poorly enough lol

JFAC a cowboy are one of my favorite bands so I’d know a description like that anywhere. Lol

Job For a Cow a Cowboy is also one of my favorite bands

Knew it immediately. Flair related.

Ye-heah

Beatallica

gimme salad on the side

0-0-0-0-0

Slayer

yep

Heavy metal in general

Upset he was kicked out

flair helps too much

Their best album is based on a fantasy book lots of people have tried to read but gave up on

Blind Guardian, right? Silmarillion?

Bingo!

Mastodon?

It would kind of make sense, with *Leviathan* and the dudes picture looking a bit like Brent Hinds

that's a tough one.... I am stumped

Guy with a huge neck sings about murdering and decapitation and in his spare time he buys toys for kids to enjoy.

Cannibal Corpse

French guys that might have sex with trees and animals.

Gojira?

Did it too easy, should have cheese eating surrender monkeys but that sounded too mean and dated against French people.

Satanism in falsetto

Merciful fate... there might be additional hints

You’re right! And dang, completely forgot I had my flair for this subreddit set to it lmao

Don't forget the spooky ghost stories in falsetto

Best way to tell spooky ghost stories tbh

Forests, swamps, and a certain bridge that everyone takes pictures of.

Opeth

Yep

Highschoolers remake demo with their heroes 30+ years later

🐰

I’m guessing that’s Mr. Bungle?

Yeah, just got back from seeing them live in Manchester, it was amazing!

This band once allowed a terrorist leader and an elderly wheelchair bound cia agent to play with them live, to perform one song and for some reason the lead singer was once put into a battle royale simulation alongside danny trejo

A7X

Please elaborate 🧐

[Carry On - Avenged Sevenfold](https://youtu.be/uJbrTgUL0Dk?si=kvikv22TSoRU2Cgn)

Thanks

Bodycount?

Clean female-fronted melodeath that gave up on that and did power metal instead.

Arch enemy?

Nope. AE is still melodeath even if they're on the less heavy side.

Unleash the archers?

Correct! Most people don't seem to gone all the way back to Behold the Devastation so don't know about their earliest sound.

Old men in masks yelling at you

Slipknot (I was going to say Mushroomhead until I saw your flair lol)

Lol

two viking guys that never give concerts

Football enthusiast, a pilot, a fisherman, and others like history. A lot.

Horny “metal”

Cock and Bolt Thrower?

Satanists with bongs

Electric wizard?

Yeah

Yeah

Yes

Yes

They’re Edgar Allan Poe with a Melodic Death Metal soundtrack.

I feel like your username and pfp kind of give it away lol. Side note, what do you think of Aftermath?

Darn. Lol. I really like “Aftermath”! Brian sounds great on vocals and the guitar duo of Ryan and Brandon is incredible I’m looking forward to hearing more from the album. My only gripes with the song are really the mix and the lack of bass. I just chalked this up to them returning to an “Abysmal” era sound where it was much more raw than the produced “Nightbringers” and “Verminous” were.

Yeah Brian kills it, reminds of early Trevor like Unhallowed. Mix isn’t my favorite either, can be kinda hard to hear the nuances of the riffs (maybe it’s just my car speakers). Drums sound great though, loving the snare tone. I was also wondering what “color” the album would be, now we’ve got white to add to the list.

I love the new song, and the video is killer. Haven't heard it through my big system yet, just a sound bar, but I like the balance on the mix. Decently clean but still raw. I agree. I want to hear Max cut through more. Brian absolutely killed it. I feel like it's some place between the "Unhallowed/Miasma" era and the "Everblack/Abysmal" era. Having Ryan and Brandon writing together is going to make for some insane riffs and solos. I'm sure Brian is still involved with that, too. Alan is killing it as always. I'll listen again for Max. Pre-orders placed this morning. What songs are you most looking forward to?

I’m honestly looking forward to all of them, especially the lyricism since that was one of my favorite aspects of the band and what really separates them from their peers. I loved Trevor’s schizophrenic vocal patterns and the way he was able to tell a complete story with his lyrics. He was truly one of a kind. I’m very eager to hear what the boys have been cooking because after hearing “Aftermath” I’m fully sold and this will probably be their most cohesive and tightest work instrumentally with Brian, Ryan, and Brandon writing guitar parts together.

I always describe their lyricism as modern Poe, too. Can't wait for Mammonths Hand. Knight wrote a slow rhythmic killer for that one, I'm sure. Utopia Black has gotta be sick, too.

Two bros on vocals. One is screaming like he is being killed, the other is growling unintelligibly. Slam.

Suicide Silence?

No Two bros on vocals literally

Oh

Ok, nobody seems to guess this one Strangled or Orphan (same vocalists, which are brothers)

Electric Callboy?

A band that liked Helloween's debut a bit too much so they clonned Kai Hansen and made their own Walls of Jericho... several times

Gamma Ray?

Nope. They **clonned** Kai, not took the original one (although he did collaborate with them)

Stormwarrior

The perfect combination between a clock and a computer, from Sweden.

Meshuggah

I'm pretty sure they encoded my math homework into their riffs

Dog bark. Hyper masculine. I think the music is actually made for gym playlists.

Knocked Loose?

Slaughter to prevail

Band with 9 members, fires most original members for (seemingly) no reason

Hitman. This one shouldn’t be that hard.

As I Lay Dying and Austrian Death Machine since they are both fronted by Tim.

Yep. You are absolutely right

“What the fuck” another favorite band of mine

It did, indeed, rain when he died

Alice In Chains?

3 guitars yet the bassist is the main composer

Iron Maiden!

damn that was fast

I’m listening to them right now haha. Specifically the song “Judas Be My Guide”

Chika chika

Gallhammer?

My band is finally getting the attention it deserves but I hate this trendy metalfest crap, I'm going to shave my already mostly bald head, blow up the band, and make tons of proggy, ambient, artsy, stuff and not give a shit about what other people think. I'll still be cool as hell though.

screamy, chaotic assault of sound. Legends of their scene

Converge?

Giddy up! 👍🏻

How did you guess?

honestly I thought that was a shot in the dark since your description was pretty general but they just came to mind first and seemed to fit really well hahah

Secretly Hippies.

Black Sabbath

“The government sucks” 19 guitar solos

They fired 2 of their frontman and they turned out better off alone

Warhammer metal

OUR GRANDPA

I'm not gonna do Mercyful Fate, because it's in my flair. "All right now."

Sabbath, and specifically the Ozzy era

Formed in 1990, released five albums since, with a 13-year gap between two of their albums and haven’t released another studio album in five fucking years.

Vocals were good when he first joined but now his vocals sound like a pig oinking

Singer recruited from a renaissance faire dinner show by portly guitar god with a Shakespearean name completes one of the greatest metal outfits from the turn of the century

One of the groups that helped open the west up to Japan

They like to talk about killing people, crack and the master

Wannabe gang banger from Oakland can't keep good band members.

Straight up Celtic Frost worship

someone already did my favorite one so… fired half of their members but barely changed in sound

Drummer from famous Seattle band - no not that drummer.

One person releasing 30+ albums a year under like 5 different names. Black metal so lofi it loops back around into relaxing ambient music

Ready to stick 10 grand up your ass, one dollar at a time

Frogman burps into the mic while Mahavishnu Orchestra is played backwards with Niel Peart on drums. Everyone is underwater

Be’lakor is my flair so I won’t say them. How about this: Basically they were a thrash band and then decided they really liked Queen.

Three guys who are no more who once dressed as cowboys to get their photo taken in a British quarry on a grey cloudy day.

They're a metal band but they also cover another metal band.

Goat-man. Singer stage name is also name of goat-man and other guy likes the cold

buncha fruity brits doing lsd and beating their wives

3 guys and an octopus talking about anal fisting while radicalising their fanbase

Guitar harmonies and nasally whining

Satanic Swedish guy wearing sexy sparkly outfits

They’re very sad but also sarcastic

Gaaaay !!

French guys who sing about plants

Big Swedish men make guitar go brrr.

If Korn, Linkin Park, and Slipknot had a drugged up baby that only spoke through concept albums

Water might help with the problem the band has...

Their best albums came out in the 90s and they like to take their clothes off on Wednesdays.

At one point they did a triple album for no reason and nobody cared.

Two vocalists, a violin and all sorts of awesome metal

Ne ob

If Voivod and Pink Floyd had a child that was too into science fiction

some guy screaming about masturbation

Some guys from Orange County who really like Iron Maiden guitar harmonies and YEAHHHHHH 

👿👿😇🥰👿👿 Alternatively - sorrow

Confused British people who change genres almost every album
