death/black/dark metal

Interesting recommendations here. I'll have to check out some of those bands you guys mentioned.

I've been crazy busy lately, but I am trying to set time to audition musicians for my new project, an all vegan speedcore/thrash/grind band. I found a suitable bassist. I'll play lead/rhythm guitar. I wish Arawn lived close enough to drum for us, I really need a vegan metal drummer. I also need a singer/lyricist. I want to dedicate this band to the issues I really care about, animal rights and ecology. If you know suitable musicians in the greater Toronto area, hook me up!

Drummers are always the most difficult to find :s

I hope we can make a split in a near future

I'm looking for a drummer too. Nightmare to find and when you do they are usually in about a million other bands and can never practice.

[Arawn]

I have never understand people who are in more than 2 projects. You can't really invest yourself if you're into several bands.

i used to play drums in couple bands, and still have the touch, but pretty rusty now, especially with fillers

oh those were the days...

Grindcore festival in Czech republic. This year they are headlined by Macabre and Extreme Noise Terror. Check out the bottom of their info page -

"Since first year we have just vegan and vegetarian food on OEF and we'll continue in this blood free tradition forever. Do you ask why? I'm long-time vegan myself and this life style is something very important for me and I really can't support the bloody business even on festival that I organize...animals can't thank you but I can can and I do : thanx to all people that support this idea and will be vegans and vegetarians even for this one weekend, enjoy our food and support animal rights..."

I wish I could make it this year. It looks like a blast.

A vegan metal fest, it sounds like paradise.

[Rubber_Ritchie]

I thought I'd drop a plug here to an awesome London band called 12 Ton Method. Half of them are vegan.

Heavy as fuck

I'm trying to resurrect my old vegan metal and hardcore website and forum. I launched it originally several years ago, but because I was juggling school and a job, I didn't have time to promote it properly and to keep up with script kiddies who were destroying the forums (do those guys ever sleep?).

This forum gave me a little hope again, with all the postings on metal and hardcore. We have quite a collection of metalheads and hardcore kids here.

So if you have tofu on your plate and metal in your veins, drop by my website and drop a line on the forums -

www.veggielante.com

I'm planning to add interviews with bands, show reviews, and other content on the website. And I do want to add veganfitness to the links page this week, because it was a large part of my inspiration to bring back my old site.

I went to this fest last year and am going again this year. A lot of fun, great bands and it's bloody cheap! (once you get there)

ATM I really like melodic death metal:

Daath
In Flames
Soilwork
Crematory

etc etc

[Arawn]

In melodic Death metal, I prefer Amon Amarth, God Dethroned.

Otherwise, I was in a french summer fest las week and I discovered Iced Earth (I think I heard before ancient albums with old vocalist and it makes me nothing) and it's really great. The vocalist with his "rocky" voice (like grave digger in a way) and then aigue (like Judas) kills everything.

But the best bands was in the thrash categorie with Testament and Death Angel.

[Konstantin]

I saw Iced Earth earlier this year supporting Heaven & Hell (Sabbath), They were really good, melodic and heavy. Old school metal.
