Topic: Music you've been digging lately

[Belmontoya]

Maybe it's because of all the hateful things I've heard lately from the emboldened mouths of biggots and racists who now have a horrible man running for president to rally behind...

But something about the lyrics of this beautiful song by Bjork seem ever more pertinent.

I was listening to her album Homogenic after being stuck in a room with a rotten person who was trying to push Trump on me. The lyrics almost brought a tear to my eye.

DragonForce's Symphony of the Night.  How the heck did it take me a couple of years to find out about this song?

[The Bizarre Trooper]

I recently listened to some Visual Kei music such as Insanity Injection B.R.N. and Dadaroma Risley Circus.

All i can say is HOLY F**K!!! WHERE WAS THIS STYLE OF MUSIC MY WHOLE LIFE!!!! both songs are awesome both visualy and audio-wise!

Been getting back into metal, and the new Carnifex has really caught my ear:


Yeah, it's deathcore, but it's done really well. I really like the melody that they've incorporated into this album, and the lead guitar solos are nice. The solos are different enough from the rest of the music add to the songs, but not so different that they sound out of place. *cough*RyanKnightofBlackDahliaMurder*cough* I've heard a few Carnifex songs in the past, but nothing like this.

The lyrics, to me, are really nothing special at all, but the singer has a good voice. It's nice hearing well-done screams and being able to completely understand them.

I also really dig Infant Annihilator - Motherless Miscarriage, but I'm...uh...not so sure I should link the video here.

VK is a huge amount of fun.  There are lots of different substyles within it.  Malice Mizer, Versailles, X Japan (the original founders of the genre, look up the Live performance of Art of Life), are all amazing.  I've seen Versailles Live twice, and their lead singer on a solo tour once.  There's loads of bands.  Matenrou Opera (Helios is a great song), Megaromania, Akira....

Been listening to 90's hip hop and R&B lately. Deathrow had its golden age then for sure. This type of music is not the same anymore.

I agree...around the time No Limit Records got big, it just wasn't the same for me, in a general sense.




I posted this theme in the video games forum, but I'm totally hooked on this song because of Pinball Arcade. I vaguely remember the campy vocals from seeing this machine as a kid, but holy balls, that's an awesome song. Stuff like this is what made the 80's great (though it came at the very end of the decade, but...uh...shut up).

Some used to call them "No Talent Records".

I always remember my brother getting Deathrow's Greatest Hits. Killer double album.

Been listening to the FFXV soundtrack and Noctis' Theme is stuck in my head for the longest time.

[Aridale]

My best answer to this thread is Spotify playlists. If y'all got Spotify accounts, tune in.
Here's the ones I have recently posted (and consequently have been listening to a LOT)

A Pacific Girl (Sort of a Pacific Coast indie sound, but there's bigger artists on there as well where the sound fits)

Upon Those Rings We Named Forever (Cosmic Chillout music)

FUCK YEAH DARKSTALKERS (Darkstalkers soundtracks. Nuff said)

There may be some SLIGHT drops... (Dubstep for when I'm working and need to drown out my own busy brain noises)

The Original Boulder (50's and early 60's Rock n' Roll)

I have over a hundred playlists at this point across most genres, so if anyone ever needs a music recommendation, just ask. I will hook you up with the good stuff.

I remember that vid! Not sure what anime was used though.

With all the crap going on in american politics I've been listening to a lot of modern protest music. This one from Rage against the machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4smim2MNvF8

And this one as well by Michael Franti. Rock the nation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApFM8qIo-Ys
