Necrotic Nick- Not a problem, man! I really enjoyed the video and you had some great talking points so I had no problem giving a shout out for that at all. Killer channel, man!
4:54 at least he co-wrote almost every Metallica song, he might be weak in terms of musicianship, at least not writing... But god damn, live Metallica becomes more prog than Dream Theater lol
I just had a feeling you'd be a BOC fan, Nick. One of my absolute favourite bands with amazing lyrics and one of my big guitar heroes in Buck Dharma. I'm more a rock/post-punk fan who likes metal - you've introduced me to a fair few new bands (Tombs being a favourite) so it's great to see what you listen to outside of metal!
Necrotic Nick- I've been a giant BOC fan since I was a kid when I heard Godzilla. It also didn't hurt that I was and still am a giant Godzilla fan too. lol. They one of my favorite classic rock bands in general though. I'm glad you're finding some cool new jams on here, bro!
This was quite enjoyable to watch. Cool to see you keep everything even though you may not like it anymore. I have plenty of nu-metal, it is what I grew up on back in the day and helped me get into the good shit haha! Still jam it once in a while too! Transcending Obscurity just kills it damn near every time, I purchase almost everything from that label it seems. Been jamming Sepulchral Curse lately, fantastic Death metal from Finland. Cheers!
Necrotic Nick- I rarely get rid of anything in the collection which includes the embarrassing stuff. At one point though, I was really into some of that stuff. I just out grew it when my tastes changed. I need to catch up more on Transcending Obscurity's releases. It's just tricky getting stuff delivered here now.
Regarding Breeding The Spawn, maybe Scott Burns wasn't available at the time to produce it or Roadrunner didn't have the funds to get Scott back at the time.
Necrotic Nick- I mean it was the same guy that did the Human Waste EP too which he did an alright job with so it may have seemed like a safe bet since he worked with the band before. It would have been worth it to get Scott back if had the time in his schedule.
@@thrallsofmetal 🤣 its always hard... if you just listened to intronaut.. and someone puts hardwired on..man I loved them so much, and still love master or ride. But this obvious lazyness of mr u... slways is a led down, if i remember metallica in the 80s.. 🤣
Necrotic Nick- That's Constricted which features Shred on guitars and Rin on vocals from the channel. We're giving away one of their CDs in our current giveaway along with a lot of other stuff as well.
Necrotic Nick- I thought the remastered all of their albums? I just recently got a remaster of Mental Vortex not too long ago so I figured they were doing all of them.
100% agree about MONSTROSITY ! Amazing riffs, heavyness, techincal, melodic. I love this band. For me their number one is "Millennium". FRAGMENTS OF RESOLUUUUTIOOONN rules ! "Impending doom " is killer album - this song "Ceremonial void" is just amazing. Only weak point of this band are album covers - "Miilennium", "In dark purity" or "Rise to power" have really BAD album covers. Of course "Impending doom" cover is amazing, in the same style as "HYPOCRISY "Penetralia". Please, If You can, give me Your quick ranking of MONSTROSITY albums, Nick, please. PS 1 This whole "Metal tag response" is really extreme interesting for me. PS 2 I always wonder - if you answer this questions like this in "Metal tag", do You pick albums that are "not so obvious", so that You can show to subscribers "something different, something new" than expected ?
Necrotic Nick- Isis left off with such a killer album with Wavering Radiant too. I'd love a reunion. This would be the perfect time for DRI to comeback with all the killer crossover thrash popping up.
I was reading an interview a few years ago with Lars and he was saying in the 80s drumming was a competition between all the bands so he pushed himself more, but now he doesn't care as much he's more interested in just doing what he feels best for the song. It's a good interview if you want to read it. www.blabbermouth.net/news/metallicas-lars-ulrich-isnt-bothered-by-criticism-of-his-drumming-abilities-ive-got-nothing-left-to-prove/
Necrotic Nick- Even then though he really didn't hold a candle to guys like Lombardo, Benante, Hunting etc. He was good a keeping the time but I don't think he was as creative in terms of his playing as those guys. I'll check out the interview when I get some time because it does sound interesting.
Yes, he always knew that he couldnt keep up... so why try. He was put behind the Drums in the beginning because he couldnt play an instrument.. so he tried hard from day one but suffered from lack of Talent. Yes...
LOL, Nick, I so much agree about Lars. The guy sucks. He cannot do any of those harder drum tracks from ...And Justice for All in concert that well. I saw him "attempt" to do Dyer's Eve live, years ago, in Seattle. It was terrible. You can do anything in a studio, but doing it live is a whole different matter. JFC, just a few metal drummers that walk Lars: Vinnie Paul (RIP), Gene Hoglan, Dave Lombardo, Mike Borden, Nick McBrain, Scott Travis, Dan Swano (played drums on Resurrection Through Carnage), "Axe", Martin Lopez, Paul Bostaph, Bill Ward, "dude from Nile"...........I mean FFS. The question should be, "Who is not better on drums in metal than Lars?" \m/ \m/
I loved this epsode kinda got too learn a little bit about your dislikes and likes of metal etc.Entombed left hand path isnt just the heaviest album ever too me if anyone asks what death metal album is the best i always say Entombed left hand path.D.R.I. could easily make a comeback and i think it would blow the doors.or the metal scene if they did,always kinda wondered why they havnt released another album,love D.R.I.Great episode Nick.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! When I saw Marty's original video I was hooked and I wanted to do my own response because the questions were really good. Left Hand Path is up there with my favorite death metal albums of all time. It's soooo damn good from start to finish and DRI would destroy if they came back now. Get them a tour with Iron Reagan, Enforced and High Command right away.
My answer on the first question is Overkill. Their music if fine but I absolutely cannot STAND Bobby's shrieking, snarling vocals. I feel the same was about 3 Inches of Blood. Also, Portal still holds the record for me as the heaviest thing I've ever listened to.
1. A tout Le Monde 2. The Darkness Descends- Dark angel 3. Metallica-Lars 4. Annihilation of the Wicked-Nile 5. Outer isolation- Vektor 6. Wintersun-Wintersun 7. Weapons of Thrash- Terrifier 8. Origin 9. My Arms, Your Hearse- Opeth 10. Metal Magic-Pantera 11. Norwegian Black Metal or drone metal 12. I’m looking forward to the upcoming megadeth and exodus albums 13. Mercyful Fate 14. Agent Orange- sodom 15. Pantera 16. Master of Puppets-Metallica 17. Terrible Certainty-Kreator 18. Scorpion-Drake. Rap used to be my shit 19. Warbringer, Disincarnate, waylander, Horcas, and eruption. Warbringer is some great modern thrash very reminiscent of slayer. Disincarnate is some under appreciated death metal from the 90’s. Waylander is really unique they are like folk metal with vocals that sound like Chuck Shuldiner’s. Horcas is some amazing thrash from Argentina, eruption is some fun low key modern thrash, all very great and underrated bands imo 20. Hopefully people put their differences aside and get along
@@BBQcheese not my cup of tea. Production quality is shit, Ik that is intentional but I can’t stand it. Also the Culture behind the bands is pretty weird
@@BBQcheese I’ll be honest I haven’t given too much black metal a chance. Ik these aren’t true black metal but I do enjoy venom, dissection, and Sabbat
Regarding Lars Ulrich as the weakest link I kinda have to disagree a bit. Sure, he is and was not the best drummer but what he lacks in drumming skills, he makes up in songwriting skills! Rob Trujillo once mentioned that witnessing Ulrich and Hetfield writing songs was a magical experience. Dave Lombardo or Charlie Benante might have given Metallica a complete different sound, but I think its meant to be how it turned out. When I think of the weakest link in a Band, I think of Corpsegrinder - he sounds all the same and has almost zero variation. Anyways, cool channel you have there - keep up the nice work! Greetings from Denmark \m/
With this one, I didn't pick any repeated bands or albums. 1.Reactory 2.Repulsion-Horrified (that bass tone sucks lol) 3.Iron Maiden (ok bruces vocals are quite bad now, steve needs to let them tune down because his vocals are nowhere near as good, even compared to the early 2000s and Iron Maiden is my favorite band so don't think that I don't like them or nothing) 4.Whitechapel-The Valley 5.Judas Priest-Nostradamus (not really recommended but it is in my brother's and my dad's favorite albums of all time list) 6.ZZ Top-Tejas 7.Massacre-From Beyond (the blue one) 8.Pantera 9.Death-The Sound of Perseverance 10.FFDP-A Decade of Destruction 11.NSBM 12.Metallica-AJFA (give me bass) 13.Whiplash (I would want Power and Pain pt.2) 14.The Gallery-Dark Tranquillity 15.Black Sabbath 16.Amon Amarth-Twilight of the Thunder God 17.Carcass-Surgical Steel 18.Eminem- The Marshall Mathers LP (we all have our phases) 19.Invicta and Unanimated 20.Less covid
If I had to pick an album that the production really ruins it for me it would be Carcass - Reeks of Putrification. I love a raw production but the production on that is just terrible. For me Carcass starts at Symphonies of Sickness. I love that album. I just got a Entombed - Left Hand Path Backpack. I've never owned a backpack, but when I saw that on Amazon I decided now's the time. lf I had to pick an album that defined heavy I would just play someone of the the With The Dead, or Triptykon albums. With the Dead is heavier than lead elephant balls. would say I like the alternate cover of Autopsy's Severed Survival more than the original...which kind of sucks. The release album cover of Exodus's Pleasures of the Flesh sucks compared to the original cover they wanted. Most metal cover: Exciter - Heavy Metal Maniac. lol.
Necrotic Nick- While Reek sounds filthy I think that was the idea with the sound. Granted, I prefer Symphonies onward over Reek but I think the production was intentionally rough. With Breeding the Spawn I think they were shooting for something similar to what they got on Effigy. I thought about doing Autopsy but I stuck with Cannabis Corpse instead. Solid answers here, bro.
Lars would be my first pick for a band with a weak member. The riffs are killer, and I dig James Hetfield's guitar work and voice. But the drums being more meat and potatoes has always stuck out to me on their albums. As a guitar player myself knowing drummers, I have yet to personally meet a drummer who is influenced by Lars' drumming. They usually pick the other thrash metal drummers like Dave Lombardo or Charlie Benante, if they are influenced by death metal. I still dig the first four Metallica albums because the guitar work and the bass work by Cliff Burton. Newsted was a fine bassist. I just wish I could hear it on ...And Justice for All. But yeah, Lars is not that great and I never want to hear the dung, dung, dung, dung from St. Anger An album that took my musical taste a different direction, first thing to come to mind is Depeche Mode's Violator but I'm sure I have a handful of albums I can think of.
I first saw Meshuggah in 2001 opening for Tool at the Schott. I found them interesting but didn’t really get into them until I saw them on a following Ozzfest. As for Emmure, never got into them. Saw them at New England Metal and Hardcore Festival and they sucked. Horrible! 🤮. Meshuggah = 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Emmure = 🤮🤮🤮
Bruh, politics don't change riffs. Doesn't matter if it's a commie or a nazi band. Imagine listening to Effigy of The Forgotten for the first time (we all remember that moment) without a lyrics sheet, loving it, and then when reading the lyrics afterwards you find out it's radically right wing/left wing/islamic whatever. Throw away the album? Has nothing to do with the music. If I buy fish on a market I don't care what politics the guy selling it agrees with, I want my damn fish as well as my damn riffs.
Necrotic Nick- It matters if it's a Nazi band to me. Those knuckle-draggers aren't getting my money because it's a weak-minded mentality for weak people. Most of metal when it does bring up politics is left leaning. We have our roots in punk/ anti-establishment rhetoric like bucking conservatism. As for Suffocation, their them was always death, brutality, torture and they weren't serious about it. If they were a Nazi band (which would make zero sense with their line-up) Roadrunner wouldn't have touched them. Sorry man, NSBM can go fuck itself with a sandpaper dildo.
That was one hell of a flex with that TBDM! It last sold on Discogs for $598!
This was a cool response! I loved what you said about Entombed and Slayer. Also D.R.I. rules!!
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I'm a giant fanboy of all of those bands so they had to be brought up. lol
Thanks for the shout out Nick. Appreciated! Good to see your picks on these topics as well. Take care!
Necrotic Nick- Not a problem, man! I really enjoyed the video and you had some great talking points so I had no problem giving a shout out for that at all. Killer channel, man!
Any chance Shredlord, Jammin' Jon and Rin will do their video on the Metal Tag 2021?
Necrotic Nick- I should Jon and Shred the questions so far. I'll hit up Rin here soon.
4:54 at least he co-wrote almost every Metallica song, he might be weak in terms of musicianship, at least not writing...
But god damn, live Metallica becomes more prog than Dream Theater lol

Immediately thought Kid A when that question came up
Great choice on Kid A. I didn't love it at first but it really grew on me and is perfect mood music.
This was quite enjoyable to watch. Cool to see you keep everything even though you may not like it anymore. I have plenty of nu-metal, it is what I grew up on back in the day and helped me get into the good shit haha! Still jam it once in a while too!

@@thrallsofmetal Indiemerchstore is your friend man for TO releases! They get them all in stock sooner or later. I pre-order, and it is fair priced.
ha, this is great - I thought Mr Barnes might appear
Regarding Breeding The Spawn, maybe Scott Burns wasn't available at the time to produce it or Roadrunner didn't have the funds to get Scott back at the time.
Necrotic Nick- I mean it was the same guy that did the Human Waste EP too which he did an alright job with so it may have seemed like a safe bet since he worked with the band before. It would have been worth it to get Scott back if had the time in his schedule.
Where did you get the Gatecreeper shirt???
Necrotic Nick- I believe I got it at a show years ago actually.
@@thrallsofmetalNecrotic Nick that's probably the best way to get their merch actually.. I mean I've looked online and it's hard to find much
Excellent video Nick, there are some great picks in your list. Stay safe my friend 🤘💀🤘.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! We're doing our best to stay safe and healthy here.
You're always welcome 🤘
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, bro!
Point 3... exactly what i thought when i read the question. Agree agree agree 👍
Necrotic Nick- I'd be lying if I didn't say the same. lol
@@thrallsofmetal 🤣 its always hard... if you just listened to intronaut.. and someone puts hardwired on..man
I loved them so much, and still love master or ride. But this obvious lazyness of mr u... slways is a led down, if i remember metallica in the 80s.. 🤣
I have that Descendent album. Have Gutted Bleed for Us to Live as well. Great shit.
If you like Kid A, you a fan of stuff that inspired it, like Aphex Twin Richard D James album? Or Boards of Canada?
Is Oak members of Portuguese black metal band Gaerea?
Yeah
I would love fore everyone to make one of these
Necrotic Nick- I've pitched to Jon and Shred so far. I'll hit up Rin and Miller about it as well.
Who the band that performs your opening theme music?
Necrotic Nick- That's Constricted which features Shred on guitars and Rin on vocals from the channel. We're giving away one of their CDs in our current giveaway along with a lot of other stuff as well.
Question no .2 First 2 EMPEROR albums
Coroner’s Punishment For Decadence could use a remix/remaster
Necrotic Nick- I thought the remastered all of their albums? I just recently got a remaster of Mental Vortex not too long ago so I figured they were doing all of them.

I too love Duran Duran and Depeche Mode. I never got into Radiohead. Maybe I'll try again one day.

15. Manowar
I totally agree about Lars but in The 1989 Seattle live, Lars totally nailed most of the songs
Necrotic Nick- I will give him the fact that he's got great endurance since he can play those long shows but, again I think he just got lazy.
My answer on the first question is Overkill. Their music if fine but I absolutely cannot STAND Bobby's shrieking, snarling vocals. I feel the same was about 3 Inches of Blood. Also, Portal still holds the record for me as the heaviest thing I've ever listened to.
