Posted on Nov 30 2017 11:24 AM I've always thought of Daikaiju as the "Iron Maiden" of my surf music collection... It's great to learn about bands that I haven't heard yet. Thanks! — Salud! Mark Top

amnesiack Joined: Feb 06, 2014 Posts: 105 Seattle, WA	Posted on Nov 30 2017 03:49 PM Yeah, there's lots of great heavy rock/punk/metal influenced surf out there! I wouldn't put them in the doom/black/death camp that folks were asking about before, but check out The Amino Acids for some great distorted/heavy stuff that strays pretty far from the trad sound while still being recognizable (to my ears at least) as surf. https://www.reverbnation.com/theaminoacids — Four String Fender for The Delstroyers & The Woodhavens Top

Is there some kind of Black Surf already? Who knows good bands with such a sound? Coffin Haze: https://coffinhaze.bandcamp.com/ The Surfzums: https://thesurfzums.bandcamp.com/ this is a breath of fresh air for me. I'm probably in the minority here, but this suits me a lot more than the trad sound. I am also in the minority probably. I also thought, yes, sounds frsh and good! Power!!!!! These days I listen also a lot to Triptykon´s albums. If you like reeeally dark stuff, check this amazing production. Are you able to listen from beginning to the end?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQsuagpSDtM Love it! In general, I’m pretty anti double bass. I always feel like it’s a crutch for lazy/uninteresting drumming. Fills, and small parts, sure, but don’t overdo it. So, you lost me right away with that one. I like In general, I prefer my metal a little more melodic. Top

I like intensity in music, don´t care which style. I try to be open minded. — Twang cheers!

Just because I don't dig something doesn't mean I'm not open minded, I gave it a fair chance. I appreciate the suggestion, I really do. There's room enough out there for all kinds of stuff. I don't have to get down with all of it, and neither does anyone else. Top
