minus-squarefoggy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·edit-211 months agoGonna have to go by genre Tech Death: Sorreption - King of undisputed nonsense runner up: Necrophagist - Seven Melodic Death Metal: In Flames - Dialogue with the stars runner up: At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul Death Metal: Decapitated - spheres of madness runner up: Bloodbath - So You Die Progressive metal: BTBAM - Ants of the sky runner up: Opeth - Serenity Painted Death Metalcore: Darkest hour - Tranquil runner up: 🤔 I could probably come up with a top 5-10 for each genre. I could probably dig for 5 more genres. This is already a sick playlist. Honorable mentions to Rage Against The Machine and Soilwork. Some absolute riff kings. Those two bands honestly trump the whole list/thread/whatever.
minus-squareserpineslair@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·11 months agoWhat about thrash metal?
minus-squarefoggy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-211 months agoNot a fan of most OG thrash bands, personally, so my top picks would be bands influenced by those bands. I’d say top thrash riff pick would probably be Children of Bodom - Lake Bodom I’d have to revisit Kiuas’s first 3 albums to pick out the thrash bangers. They’re mostly power metal with some thrash, black, and melodeath. If well allow Kiuas - Heart Of The Serpent as thrash, then yeah. But idk kinda more black/power metal than thrash. I guess of OG thrash I do love sepultura… And Kiko Laurieo in general. Does Angra count by association? Or are they way too power? 😔
