This kinda makes me raise an eyebrow. Why would discovering a better form of music suddenly make
Suicide Silence and/or Slipknot bad? The fact that you were able to "get out of them" so quickly makes me wonder if you were just pretending to like them to begin with, which kinda makes me question the validity of your listening endeavors as a whole.
I don't know why I care so much. I really don't.
Oh, and most -core variants that take more influence from metal. Always hated that stuff, even when I was just getting into metal and loved everything I heard that was even remotely heavy that stuff never sat with me all too well. Surprisingly enough, I actually like the more hardcore-tinged stuff somewhat.
Brutal Death Metal and slam for the same reasons. The riffs are all just shitty mush, and the more "technical" variants are just technical mush. Sometimes a band's so mushy it becomes awesome, like
Defeated Sanity or
Wormed, and sometimes a band's so technical it becomes awesome (
Viraemia) but besides the odd exception here and there this stuff's terrible, and it doesn't help that record labels like Sevared and the like pretty much release 80 new albums a day with this shit, like seriously, who the
Hell buys all this stuff? Somebody is, because they're staying in business.
Here's the real shocker...USPM. Yeah. My tastes in
Power Metal are kind of sporadic and oddly defined, but I don't like much of this stuff. Sure, it's more "aggressive", and it caters to metalheads that are afraid of any passive, flowery melody in their music, but it loses a lot of the hookiness. I WILL admit I have only dabbled around this scene though, only hearing a few odd albums, so perhaps that's my problem. I'm just not motivated to look into it any further.
One exception though: Fates Warning. It's like a five-star riff buffet.
If you are a false, don't entry, or you'll be burned and died!
