You tell me where the melody is here To me, that's just noise. I know; I'm a girl. But that's how I view music like this.

Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruGkLEZsN4o 0:00-0:12 Me: Vocaroo | Voice message That's definitely a melody. Or what about this riff at the beginning which most of my friends find that sounds very random. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gnO-YrRAQY http://vocaroo.com/i/s1IkxmHBtlHI The timing on that one is rather odd, but that has to do with the fact that it has mathcore elements. Sure, it's a weird type of melody, but it's definitely a melody.. Last edited by Dylstew; 05-12-2014 at 08:48 AM. |

Wow. I leave for a couple days, come back, and this thread has grown.
Cool to see the different opinions and outlooks. You have possibly heard the album before, Trollheart, but what is your opinion on something like Dissection's - Storm of the Lights Bane? Because there's without doubt melody to be found throughout this album, and by most this album is regarded as a classic. Yes it still has what some might classify as "unbearable" vocals and its hardly accessible.

Okay, can we just establish something here? You all may hear melody in that song but I don't. You can't make me hear something I don't feel is there, so can you all just accept that and move on? I'm getting a little weary saying why I can't hear melody, why it is not melody to me. That's how I am, it's my opinion and my view. Can you just leave it at that instead of trying to convince me and essentially saying, you're wrong, the melody is there?
I don't hear it. I can't. So let that be an end to it. Please. Thanks.

Sure.
But for the record I'm not trying to convince you to hear something you don't. I actually asked you what your opinion was on the song/album if you had ever heard it. And yes, I did voice my personal opinion on the song having melody, and for most people into Dissection that's among the first thing they will mention about the band is them being focused on melody. That's not to say you or everyone will, or should, hear it. Many people probably won't hear it, and many probably will write it off as garbage. I simply asked you your opinion. Perhaps you weren't talking to me, and if not you can ignore this post. Again if I came across as trying to convince you to hear something, that was not how I intended it.

Haven't listened to that track yet but I will. Your comment that the vocals could be deemed "unbearable" does not fill me with hope though!

Okay, gotcha!
I'm curious to hear your opinion on the track, if by chance you DO enjoy it I can shoot you some similar bands you might like.

But, if I were to do so, I'd have to say extreme metal isn't boring now, nor has it ever been. If anything, the black and death bands have definitely gotten more creative and it's a genre that keeps seeing more and more growth with more and more experimentation. Today's bands are a far cry from the **** I used to listen to.

I thought you might find this interesting Trollheart. Consonance and dissonance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The link is about consonance and dissonance in music. Consonance is something generally thought of as pleasant, and dissonance is usually thought of as something harsher, or not immediately pleasing to the average person's ears. I've found a lot of extreme Metal focuses on dissonance at many points during songs. So I thought you may be thinking dissonant melodies aren't really melodies and only really recognize the consonant/easily appreciable melodies as such. Though a lot of extreme Metal can focus just as much on consonance as dissonance. At the top right of the wiki page there's two sound samples, one a consonant melody and another one a dissonant one. I'd like it if you could listen to both to get an idea of what I'm talking about and would encourage you to read further into the article if you want. Also, here's an extreme Metal song which I'd like you to listen to, to see if you do find melody in it. The reason I'm posting this is because I've found a lot of people who are new to genres and have only heard select groups can have warped ideas on what the whole genre contains. So I wanted to share this song with you to see if it could possibly change your opinion on extreme Metal. This song would pretty much fit into the genre of Post-Black Metal.
