[@buddhachimp9226]

Metal is the direct spiritual successor to classical music, it's the embodiment of the western musical tradition. They both create symphonic harmonies.

[@knyshov]

Playing classical music with distortion can lead to very interesting results. :)

[@MADmidway]

im going to have to agree to this/

[@avesatanas666]

Absolutely

[@Particulator]

Well considering that at one point in our history there was basically only "classical" music one can argue that all of our contemporary music has some roots in classical. Further more, remove the notes that are dissonant and we're left with what our ears(brain) like to hear which is only a fraction of the possibilities allowed by the different keys used in making music. These possibilities have been used and reused to a point that we've heard it all already. We've exhausted the new combinations possible so everything that comes out as "new" is just reheating what has already been made, hence the feeling of "hey this sounds like that".

[@ljb9983]

Yes but metal leans more Nordic imo

[@bondanjati9769]

This not the final list 😂 I'll update periodically in the future when listening. track 1 - 00:00 track 2 - 05:17 track 3 - 10:00 track 4 - 14:53 track 5 - 19:09 track 5 - 26:59 track 7 - 30:22 track 8 - 34:22 track 9 - 38:03 track 10 - 54:45 track 11 - 58:55 track 12 - 1:03:13 track 13 - 1:10:02 track 14 - 1:14:42 track 15 - 1:21:21 track 17 - 1:26:18 track 18 - 1:34:18 track 19 - 1:39:39 track 20 - 1:44:56 track 21 - 1:49:22 track 22 - 1:54:41 track 23 - 1:58:23 track 24 - 2:03:49 track 25 - 2:08:07 track 26 - 2:12:01 track 27 - 2:16:23 track ?? - 2:26:11

[@ruanulisses6650]

[@daemonikkateylarii9731]

I've been looking for something like this for when I write. I've learned that a lot of times, vocals distract from transferring thoughts to paper when writing, but this doesn't have that distraction, making it a perfect choice for giving me the inspiration I've needed.

[@EffieReal]

Same. I am in the middle of writing a fantasy/space opera and instrumental metal is perfect plotting music.

[@thisbetalife1263]

Exactly this. When I'm coding, if I listen to metal with lyrics I end up singing along or something distracts me. That's why I ended up playing lofi jams. Now I don't have to give up my metal. This is nice.

[@daemonikkateylarii9731]

@@v47k1t44r I'm writing Fantasy and I have several different WIPs, most of them involving vampires.

[@seshanadi348]

absolutely, else I end up playing orion on the loop

[@mikegardner170]

I think vocals started my dementia I started not being able to talk and write the same time when my mind started thinking of what to say I had a hard time remembering what I was thinking to write down on paper, so it's nice to make it simple just listen or write one thing at a time it made me a better listener and not interpret and just listen to this beautiful sound of of masterful work, 🔥☠

[@atasagun1437]

That first song really hits

[@InsaneActual]

listening to this while grinding my favorite game the no vocals makes this an awesome grind playlist

[@tripwire1346]

totally agree...thats what i'm currently doing lol. Although are there lyrics and vocals somewhere for these? just curious

[@andrewsheppard9084]

The instrumental of metal had always been my favorite and would be fine to never have words again.

[@FUCKINGENIOUS]

I used to not like the screaming but now I prefer it.

[@Heavywall70]

I almost never care about the lyrics in any style of music. I actually love Rammstein because I have to idea what Til is saying so it’s just “more music” to me.

[@juicedemon19]

Bro you deserve so much credit for this. This isn't just like whatever metal, this playlist is packed TIGHT with sick riffs that rival some of the best melodic and metalcore bands in the scene, and I feel like it's rare for someone to share this much quality composition for a playlist that people mostly put on in the background. But this fills such a specific need that I've always had, and I really appreciate you sharing your high-quality work in this way.

Dude, I go to waffle house @ 8pm once a week, put on this mix, and type on a personal laptop until 6am. It's a post apocalyptic story, and I have yet to find metal beats so perfectly fitting. The vocals don't distract from the writing, and it's so beautifully orchestrated together. Thankyou. 👍

Voices in your head means you can visualize music and write it. It is a calling

[@chandranks6379]

do u know how to cure intrusive thoughts??

[@chriszarachowicz8086]

I'd like to know that myself. The only thing that has worked for me is to use my mind's eye to create an entity that is saying them (in my case it's a wendigo looking monstrosity with a stag skull for a head and glowing orange eyes). it may sound absurd, but having something to fight, knowing what it is, and why it's after me has made the really dark intrusive thoughts into a weapon that my enemy uses against me. Now the important part- having the weapon go fight back. You have home field advantage, and you can pick the terms of the fight. It whispers to you, it screams, it tries to dig its claws in, but you have a main battle tank. Run it over.

Just what I was looking for all Instrumental and great heavy metal riffs I'm definitely hooked on metal now

[@leszekskowronek1955]

Bardzo dobra muzyka rockowa, składanka dająca mnóstwo pozytywnej energii życiowej. Była to któraś z kolei składanka instrumentalna, ale tym razem jest to muzyka rockowa, wybitna z sercem zagrana w dźwięku. Gitary były znakomite dynamiczne, solówki gitarowe były wybitne jak najbardziej twarde skały i ogniste tornado zarazem. Perkusja jest szybka i dynamiczna, wybitna pod każdym względem muzyki. Była wybitna również gitara basowa, miała bardzo miły dla ucha dźwięk, miała po prostu super miękki bas. Na górze był bardzo fajny obraz, przepiękna kobieta w czarnym stroju, ciemnych włosach i rockową gitarą w dłoniach. Z tyłu kobiety było jasne światło, które dało przepiękny efekt jasnych rozwianych na wietrze włosów. Bardzo mi się podoba ta kobieta, chciałbym ją bliżej poznać.
