Death Metal Day 2009!

[zeratul]

Well it's soon too be that time of year, so raise your devil horns playground! Because February 14th Is Death Metal Day 2009! For those of you who weren't around for it;s creation last year Death metal day is a replacement for valentines day which one celebrated by listening to tons of metal (death metal in particular but others are fine), doing metal things, starting moshpits in your front yard, that kind of thing. So bring out your old albums and DVDs, Get your metal head friends together, and drown out the valentines day songs with celebration of brutality everywhere and have an extremely metal week prior to the big day \m/ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A5rNcr93tw) :smallamused:

[Fredthefighter]

I'll get Lordi.
Time for some hard rock hallelujah

[Coplantor]

I always wanted to know what a mosh pit is... anyway, hair metal is ok?

[Felixaar]

Hmm. If I don't get a valentine within the next... eight days, I might be joining you lot. Rest assured I'm exploring every avenue to avoid this.

Though embracing my inner metalhead for the day would be fun.

[Ms.Malbolge]

I will definitely be participating in this most wondrous of holidays.

Never liked Valentine's Day anyway.

Though I'm probably going to stick with blasting Ozzy and Iron Maiden until the neighbors call the police on me... again.

[littlebottom]

ah it seems my saviour has come! im single at the moment :smallfrown: but this will be brilliant! course there will be classics from ozzy, maiden and the likes, but im going to branch out i think, maybe some dragonforce... what genre actually IS dragonforce anyway? i mean its hard to catagorize, its not death metal, its not emo, i heard someone call it "video game metal" because of its technical difficulty in guitar hero, but thats just stupid... but this is shaping up to be a great valentines, i save money, and have a great time!

[Coplantor]

It's power metal. Like Rhapsody or Synergy.

[Keinnicht]

I think I would've participated in this Holiday regardless of whether or not I knew of it's existence..

[littlebottom]

It's power metal. Like Rhapsody or Synergy.

aha! i suppose so... why didnt i think of that? aanyway, thanks and looking forward to it!

[zeratul]

I always wanted to know what a mosh pit is... anyway, hair metal is ok?

Just so long as you don't listen to any powerballads, and its good hair metal then yes :P. I think for me some of my friends and I are getting together and watching Stockholm knockout Live by children of bodom and Buried alive by Sentenced, should be good times.

[d13]

Do not underestimate the possibilities of celebrating the Valentine's Metal Day :tongue:

[Canadian]

When is Progressive Vegan Grindcore Day?

[Innis Cabal]

Never. It will never be that.

[Uzirael]

oh this sounds cool, especially since it's on a saturday when everyone is available... and though I don't have the older stuff like ozzy, I prefer Coal Chamber and Devildriver also maybe some Slipknot if it fits.

[Keinnicht]

When is Progressive Vegan Grindcore Day?

As soon as Earth Crisis and Psyopus join together in one project.

[VeisuItaTyhjyys]

Do not underestimate the possibilities of celebrating the Valentine's [Death] Metal Day :tongue:

That would be a great day to have every day.

[Em Blackleaf]

I always wanted to know what a mosh pit is...
They're some of the scariest sh*t in the world. :smalleek:
Okay, maybe because the first time I went near a mosh pit, I was punched really hard. But it was some hardcore show my friends dragged me to, so I have no idea what any other kind of pit is like.

However, Death Metal Day sounds so much better than Valentine's Day. Not only do I not have a valentine, I do not support the commercialization of love and why can't I get flowers or whatever any other day of the year? Not that I like flowers, since they just die anyway. In conclusion, Death metal > Valentine's > Algebra 2.

[d13]

That would be a great day to have every day.

Just about every metal is accepted, when you're at home "Valentin~ing" :smalltongue:

[Don Julio Anejo]

I would also like to call attention to April the 19th, otherwise known as Bicycle Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_Day). Oh the stuff college professors lecture on... :amused:

Makes you wonder what they do in their spare time...

[Myatar_Panwar]

Haha, oh man. I wasn't aware this was a playground thing (failed at properly reading thread), so I googled it, and this is what I got (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Death%20Metal%20Day). Gave me a laugh.

Edit: @^ That is hilarious. Had no idea it had a holiday. And so close to another related holiday...

[phoerix]

I think I'll celebrate both :) Some demon hunter and nightwish, and a nice dinner :)

[† Dran †]

eh me and my girl are metal heads and will be spending Valentines day doing just that. Listening to classics like Ozzy or new **** like Behemoth and doing the beast with 2 backs as much as possiable. Later on where havin mates over (men and women) and havin a horror film night. Only real way to spend Valentines day with with Brutal music and offering of blood.

[zeratul]

Moshing isn't that bad providing that it;s moshing and not "hardcore dancing". Moshing is basically when there's a circle of people with people in the center being pushed back and forth and pushing and running into each other and stuff. Hardcore dancing is when people punch and kick and all that stuff. Most of the metal shows I've been to the hardcore dancers get snuffed fast so It's never been an issue with me.

Also amazing mosh pit story from me (spoilered for length)
So i became friends with this death metal band that was there at a battle of the bands we we're at before our set, and they were all really cool dudes, and we told them that we had one really heavy song (this was a gig with my alt rock band) that was basically thrash metal and that they should start a moshpit, which they were psyched about.so our set comes around, first song goes amazing, second song (the heavy one) were ripping through it, sounds awesome, and then we get to the solo and i yell (impurium moshpit now!". This huge pit breaks out, i jump off the stage into the pit, mosh, then climb back on the stage to finish the song. It was ****ing epic.

[ShadowPenguin]

Now this is one day I think I'll actually keep \m/ :smallbiggrin:

[Klose_the_Sith]

I'll be blasting Opeth and the like anyway, but count me SO IN!

[Moff Chumley]

My sig. Click it.

Also, Dream Theater ftw.

[DraPrime]

They're some of the AWESOMEST! sh*t in the world. :smalleek:

Corrected :smallbiggrin:

Anyways, I so need to walk around with some speakers and my iphone with Vader, Behemoth, Nile, and Decapitated playing at full blast.

[toasty]

I promise to listen to nothing but Metal (particularly Melodeath) all day long. :)

[Fredthefighter]

Bring on the Maiden of Iron!
Let's give those valentines day saps something to scream about. :smallamused:

[Exeson]

I always wanted to know what a mosh pit is...

Some of the most fun you will ever have in your life. Just don't make any plans to do anything the next day. :smalltongue:

funny story. Me and a mate James went to this gig with two female friends, who are both fairly small. anyway James and I were two of the largest guys there, he is really tall and I'm very broad. Randomly a mosh pit just broke out right next to us so we spent five minutes shielding the girls from everything and basically bear-hugging them to stop them getting sucked in/hurt. Of course we gave the occasional shove as well now and then.. it was really fun.

I might be a little different and break out some MSI, not really metal but meh, I love em.

[VeisuItaTyhjyys]

Just about every metal is accepted, when you're at home "Valentin~ing" :smalltongue:

Yes, but some make better holidays than others. Black Metal Valentine's day would not be any fun at all. The chocolate, like the drums, would lose all sense of taste, and if you gave valentines to anybody but the devil you might technically have to change genres. Doom Metal Valentine's day is pretty much the same Valentine's day single people have, but with more distorted guitar. Thrash valentine's day would just be really repetetive, you'd do the same thing every year.

[zeratul]

Black metal is actually probably the one I feel works best with this holiday outside of death metal and melodic death in keeping the spirit of the holiday.others are accepted of course but black metal would make more sense than say, hair metal or power metal for this sort of thing :smalltongue:

[UncleWolf]

I'll help celebrate this one.

[VeisuItaTyhjyys]

Power Metal Valentine's Day would be so silly. Hair metal Valentine's day just wouldn't be that interesting, as it'd essentially just be a kinda retro Valentine's day.

[zeratul]

So as I am throwing a death metal day party this year I figured I'd ask you guys, what would constitute 'metal' food?:smalltongue: The one thing I totally want to do is devils food cake with a big pentagram on it but I need more ideas!

[Innis Cabal]

Beef Jerky, lager, blood sausage, and if you can get over to Vietnam the Cobra Feast where they feed you the still beating heart of the snake in a sake cup

[Frojoe21]

Demon burgers! Huge stacks of beef with hot sauce, bacon and all the fixin's. Damn tasty and for most people one will just fill you up.

[Uzirael]

So as I am throwing a death metal day party this year I figured I'd ask you guys, what would constitute 'metal' food?:smalltongue: The one thing I totally want to do is devils food cake with a big pentagram on it but I need more ideas!

the only thing that comes to mind is raw meat. Particularly because it is still "bleeding" from all the retained juices and blood, however if you do that be prepared to get sick from it since it is unsanitized food. Oh! you could do an Angel food cake but use dark chocolate and stuff so it comes out dark instead of light, and use dark red-dye frosting or w/e you use, or use a cherry sauce and make it nice and thick and deep in red color to pour over it! oh and as Frojoe said hotsauce would work well on other things too.

darn you, now my 2 years of culinary, with this question will bother me into the night lol. I shall return with more (eventually)

[zeratul]

Hmm, I'm digging the demon burgers idea, also woot advice from a culinary school gal. Can't certain meat be served raw? I seem to recall this being done with beef somewhat often.

I had considered blood pudding as well, anyone know if it tastes good?

[DraPrime]

Blood pudding is fantastic. Trust me, I'm of Slavic descent. We know what weird and disgusting food is good.

Also, you should have a cake with black icing on which the words "Death Metal Day" will be written in red icing. Iron Maiden font will of course be used.

[Innis Cabal]

Its really up to personal taste, hard to say what tastes good when its subjective. So, try it and find out :smallbiggrin:

I still say eating the beating heart of a cobra is hardcore

[DraPrime]

Of course, eating your own beating heart is more impressive.

[Innis Cabal]

Certainly, but it one of those One time meals. Impressive though it might be, if you can't do it more then once it lacks flare.

Indie Rock > All.

I don't know why this day has to be for Death Metal only. That seems rather narrow minded, don't you think? It's also hypocritical since some of the songs are about love (in a twisted sense). As well, they're both using commercial products, so you can't escape that bit. Why not just skip both, and go outside to piss off couples? I mean, that seems to be the goal here.

And blood pudding is weird? Huh... it's always been normal to me. Although, I don't like it much.

Regarding Metal food: Try using those little silver sugar balls, and put them on a cake. Make the cake black, and draw a pentagram on it. For irony's sake, make the inside vanilla. Maybe make it a pentagram-heart too. *shrug*

Although, I'd suggest doing something fun like steak cake. Cake that looks like steak, or steaks strung together like a cake. Either way. Just make sure they're all rare.

[DraPrime]

We're doing death metal because it has the greatest amount of irony. And indie rock is really more a method of distribution than an actual genre.

[Innis Cabal]

I thought the point was to have fun :smallconfused:

Though I guess it is sorta narrow minded. After all Indie Rocks > everything.

How is it hypocritical? There are plenty of songs about normal, wholesome love in Death Metal, not all of it is about slaughter and blood and gore.

[Klose_the_Sith]

For shame ...

[Innis Cabal]

If it helps, it made me feel a little unclean. Nothing a little port won't fix

[Narmoth]

My list for the day:
Dark Tranquillity
Soilwork, first 2 albums
Carcass
Suidakra
Opeth, 2nd and 3rd album
Antestor
Nevermore
Arcturus, last album
Enslaved

[Nameless]

My list:

All of Children of Bodom's albums
Norther's albums
All of Arch Enemy's albums
And some Nile for old time's sake ^^
Oh, and we must not forget Eluveitie, yeah they're folk but they have Death Metal elements. :smallbiggrin:

[Morty]

Damn right I'll participate. I'll bring out my Children of Bodom, In Flames and Dark Tranquility tracks I haven't listened to in a long time. I wish I had any Vader's songs except the one they promoted The Witcher with.

[Scorpina]

I've been on a bit of a thrash kick lately. I figure that'll persist through the 14th.

Mmm, Death Angel...

[DraPrime]

Damn right I'll participate. I'll bring out my Children of Bodom, In Flames and Dark Tranquility tracks I haven't listened to in a long time. I wish I had any Vader's songs except the one they promoted The Witcher with.

As far as Vaded goes, Litany and De Profundis are great albums to get.

Tis mainly just a fun replacement of valentines day created primarily for metalheads :smallsmile:. It is closed minded in the same way any holiday celebrated by a specific group is closed minded, tis basically the only holiday celebrating metal, thus the inclusion of other genres of metal but as dragon said the choice of a death metal day on my part mainly had to do with the irony of having a holiday celebrating a genre that tends to be more about violence and rebellion on the same day as a holiday about love.

My list for the day so far
Ensiferum (victory songs album)
Children of Bodom (stockholm knockout live and assorted other albums)
Sentenced (Buried Alive)
then an assortment of all the other stuff of this kind i have so probably some cradle of filth, eluveitie, etc.

[Ego Slayer]

Oh, right... almost forgot... :smallamused:

I'M PARTICIPATING. :elan:

Er... I mean... \m/ >.<

[Frojoe21]

Album wise I think I'm going with:

Vader - Impressions in Blood
Nebucadnezzer - Our last Masquerade
Death - Symbolic
Verbal Deception - Aurum Aetus Piraticus
and Strapping Young Lad - Alien (yes, I know they're not death metal, but damn, they're angry :smalltongue:)

[Nameless]

Hey I know!, Let's have a day for ever Metal sub-genre!
Oh wait... That'll take up every day of the year...

AWESOME!!!!!!11ONE :smallbiggrin:

[Cobra_Ikari]

Hmm. Are we still permitted to ask people to join us for DMD? Can I have a DMD date?

[zeratul]

I'm having a death metal day party on Saturday with people so I don't see why not, just as long as the music is deathmetaly and not valentinesy :smalltongue:

[Uzirael]

hey for all you in on this, one of mein Freunde is making a playlist for some music, and i can get a link up for it soon...you'll know it's mine cause my name is being used. some samples on it are: Coal Chamber, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Underoath etc...just lettin you all know incase any of you would like to check it out...if you got any recommendations i would like to hear it, and he's only putting up about 2 per artist so alot can be put up

Sounds cool Uzirael, my recommendations would be Children of Bodom, Norther, and cradle of filth.

[Uzirael]

also, got some home bands up there (german) but since it's screamo i doubt you would notice that anyways lol...i'm debating on putting samy deluxe in it, but he says it's more rap so idk...anyways @zera, i'll look em up.

[Narmoth]

The combination of Valentines day and metal day of course brings up the question: best metal love - song.
It doesn't have to be a power ballad, it doesn't have to be about love either. Just the song you'd put on to set the mood for your date:

............I **** like a beast by WASP? >_>

alright serious answer, basically any lovesong by sentenced or poisonblack

[DraPrime]

Dracula by Iced Earth would be the best metal love song. The singing always blows me away.

[DraPrime]

I still don't know what it is that you find so cheesy. Lyrics are a bit cheesy, but the whole thing is a nice calm setup for the rest of the dog which comes at you at full power and kicks you in the musical balls (that's a good thing).

[Uzirael]

@ what Narmoth asked, i'd have to say Without You by Greeley Estates...which i've decided will be included lol

Edit: I'm putting up the current playlist which has 30 songs/15 artists, so that's 2 songs per artist and i tried to keep the better of the 2 on the top. I'll probably add more when i'm done eating. (sorry about shikari, i know they suck but someone probably likes them)
Some of my favorites: Protest the Hero, Chiodos, and Underoath.

I'm pretty sure Zer wrote that one last year when creating this day.

[Recaiden]

Well, when I listened to a first Death metal song 2 days ago, it was terrible. But now I like it more and more. And there are banners:

[Klose_the_Sith]

Seems like tomorrow might be a good opportunity to practice my guttural vocals. In Civic (Mall thing). Lets drown the centre of Valentines Day in brutality!

[Ms.Malbolge]

I'm visualizing a mosh pit in a Hallmark store.

This amuses me to no end!

Also I too am a fan of Iced Earth and Dracula's cheese is perfectly fine! :smalltongue: My personal favorite is 'My Own Savior.'

[toasty]

So I'm starting the day (its already the 14th here) with some Iron Maiden and then later today I'll watch Demon Hunter's Live DVD "Live in Nashville". Maybe Nightwish's End of an Era.

I'll make sure to throw some Killswitch Engage and As I Lay Dying in there, along with my pair of SoaD songs.

[d13]

1:08 AM, January 14th here in Uruguay...

The Kovenant waking up neibourghs (sp?)... I don't know what I'm going to play (or put on my playlist, most likely this one xD) next.

[ShadowPenguin]

So far on this lovely Death Metal Day, I have listened to: Children of Bodom, Nightwish, Xandria, Apocalyptica, Sinergy and Leaves' Eyes. Next up: Tarot :smallbiggrin: \m/

[Aristeidis]

Damn it!!! I totally forgot about the Death Metal Day 2009!
I really liked the idea last year!
I'll celebrate it today on the 15th! :-P

[Ceska]

The lack of proper Death Metal in this thread is rather staggering.

On my Death Metal Day my true love gave to me,
a tattoo of Alexi!
You know that should be a tattoo of no other than Chuck Schuldiner, not some silly power metal guitarist. :smallannoyed: :smalltongue:

My personal list goes: Atheist, Death, Deicide, Disillusion, Gorguts, Kataklysm, Gorguts, Decapitated and Demilich. But Death Metal isn't really my main interest, so I have mostly related genres. Oh well, some of them need to get their dust off their albums anyway.

[Nameless]

Starting of with Death and Cannibal corpse, then ensiferum, then children of bodom, then more children of bodom, then korpiklaani(yeah i know they dont really fit, but their live DVD is awesome >_>), then other stuff.

Alexi is the greatest Death Metal artist in the world.

...

And he's an awesome guitarist. :smalltongue:
He is an acceptable power metal guitarist, Children of Bodom is boring Melodeath and Melodeath is NWoBHM only slightly heavier and with growls.

So, enough tongue in cheek flaming, back to listening to Decapititated.

Death, Vader, Decapitated, Morbid Angel, Opeth, Ensiferum, Wintersun, and Kreator have been really fun today!

Well, I was proud in my efforts yesterday.

Got some new boots in the morning, and spent the day blasting metal, but at night is where it came into it's own.

I was at a Valentines Party with a bunch of "Teeny-Boppers", and a mate of mine rigged up a guitar and amp so he could play outside. I accompanied his distorted riffs with Death Metal growling, and freaked the hell out of these people (to the great amusement of other people there who were feeling bitter and twisted)

Death metal day party yesterday was pretty awesome, pictures will be up eventually.

And I spent the day learning a new CoB song... and Listening to Cob. :smallsmile:
