Metal Survivor Mania

Back once more for Drone Metal!

Jesu - Jesu


Immediate points taken because of that autotuned vocal. However, because the vocals don't play a very prominent role, it will only lower my opinion a proportional amount. There are a bunch of synths here as well, but no shame in that. Experimenting with new tech is a good thing for Broadrick. Other than that, sort of like The Angelic Process, but less death and more doom, and a pronounced decrease in the prettiness factor due to the abundant synths. A hint of indutrial here and there as well. I think Jesu isn't extremely exciting, but it's not as boring as Earth or the extreme ones. Earth is a bit more prolific than Jesu though, so I'll put Earth slightly above it.

Nadja - Touched


This is some heavy stuff. Reminds me a bit of Angelic Process, but with a lot of Earth mixed in. I think I like this more than Angelic Process actually.

Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine


This reminds me a bit more of Earth. In fact, this album and Earth 2 are extremely comparable. This album definitely goes farther than Earth, though, so props for taking the original ideas from Earth and expanding on them a bit. Some pretty interesting lyrics are added in as well, so I like it a bit more than Khanate even. Not as much as Naked City though.

Melvins - Lysol


There are a couple of straight-forward rock tracks on this one. Even the rock isn't too superb. I don't really even think I like this as much as Jesu. The songwriting just isn't good enough, and I'm sort of questioning the validity of its drone status.

Therefore, my final list is:

Nadja
The Angelic Process
Naked City
Khanate
Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine
Earth
Jesu
Melvins
Sunn O)))

SUGGEST ME AN ALBUM - I'm probably not going to listen to it but I will if you bother me enough.
