11 Great Non-Metal Albums for Metalheads | Neurosis Singer Steve Von Till's Picks

Музыка

Steve Von Till is best known as the singer-guitarist of the post-metal titans Neurosis and a prolific solo artist, but he's also a voracious music listener, with a diverse sonic palette that expands far beyond the heavy music he's often associated with. Here, we had him pick 11 amazing non-metal albums that any metalhead absolutely needs to know. Ranging from punk legends like Laughing Hyenas and Die Kreuzen, to goth-rock visionaries, country singer-songwriters and vivid ambient producers, Von Till puts his vast wealth of knowledge on full display. Watch now to see which records he picked and why.

    Hey Steve, hey Revolver! This is a superb list; grateful to know most of 'em, will check the others out. Here's my 11, with some descriptions for the interested/uninitiated... 1. Zu- Italian 'Noise Jazz' trio, consisting of a Drummer, Bassist, and Bass Saxophonist, playing his brass through a Distortion Rig. Live, the Sax sounds like the Ship's Horn of Satan's Flagship Destroyer. The HEAVIEST thing I have ever heard, Metal or otherwise! Literally came outta the show with my ears screaming in pain. 2. Béla Bartók- Hungarian 20th Century Composer, known for the dark, ominous atmospheres in a lot of his music. Some of his music was in the Score of Kubrick's version of 'The Shining'. 3. Univers Zero- Experimental/Avant-garde Music Ensemble from Belgium, led by drummer Daniel Denis. Part of the 'Rock In Opposition' musical Movement from that country. Like Bartók, whom they were influenced by, they're renowned for their dark, nightmarish soundscapes. 4. Polkadot Cadaver- Californian Experimental Rock/Fusion outfit, partially formed from the ashes of Alt-Metal outfit Dog Fashion Disco. Known for their eclectic style, and eccentric song/album titles. Check out the album 'Purgatory Dance Party' as a starter. 5. Atrium Carceri- One-man Dark Ambient/Experimental project from Sweden. Explores Themes such as Physical/Mental Imprisonment, Oppression, and Emptiness. 6. Phurpa- Russian ensemble dedicated to highlighting the Traditional music of the indigenous Bon People of Siberia; gutteral Throat Singing, ethnic percussion, and terrifying instruments I call the "Death Pipes" 😅. Check out their Set for the Boiler Room crew here on YT. Spine-tingling. 7. CocoRosie- Experimental duo consisting of 2 American sisters, known for their eclectic style. There's even some use of Distorted Guitar in there! Suitable for open-minded Metalheads as quite a bit of their material is dark and surreal. Unique. 8. Niccolo Paganini- well, he literally was known as 'The Devil's Violinist'!! Italian Virtuoso, known for his near-Mythic playing ability and Composition. Arguably the World's first-ever Rock Star. 9. Sunburned Hand Of The Man- Experimental Collaborative from the North-East USA, featuring literally DOZENS of rotating members. Known for their darkly surreal, feverish Sound on a lot of recordings. 10. Those Poor Bastards- Dark Americana/Gothic Western duo from the Midwest US. Lyrical themes include Damnation, Depression, Addiction, Pariahism, and a general contempt for Mainstream Society; pretty Metal themes in all. 11. Nick Drake- English Folk/Alternative Singer-Songwriter, known for his odd Picking Styles, and frequently dark/moody/morose songs. Caked in self-destruction and tragedy, he never achieved the success in life he deserved, only gaining recognition for his work 25 years after his untimely death. Hope this enriches someone's Ear Palette out there, enjoy!! 🤟🏻

    I love when someone you wouldn't expect to be a scholar about a subject humbly and expertly lays down wisdom in a clear fashion that encourages you to follow the same trail and find new things that you missed. And I have that Sandy Denny album by accident. It was a cover buy (I liked the jacket) because there was a bunch of Fairport Convention turned in and my budget was small, so I picked that album up and now I gotta listen to it.

    Einstürze! Great suggestion! In that same, basic vein, (dark and percussive) I just added Crash Worship's, ¡Espontáneo! to the suggestions here. If you like Blixa and company, you should consider checking that out. Here's my summation I posted, above: "I'd add to these suggestions Crash Worship's "¡Espontáneo!" The track "Awake", specifically, but the entire album is essential listening for anyone into dark and powerful music. Uber~Bohemian Drum/Percussion/Chanting group with some electronics, horns and tape manipulation, but used in the same fashion. Very dark, yet celebrating of life. At live gigs, a member would walk around the audience, from time to time, pouring either water or wine all over the heads and into the mouths of the crowd, along with fireworks and spontaneous piles of audience~ignited clothing, crazy dancing... It's what you'd expect to be the soundtrack from a REALLY intense, dark and spastic ritual in a Horror Film, but engulfing you in a club. They'd end the shows with an around the block procession of the band, still playing with the audience in tow, like children being led off to the nether world. Good stuffs.... ;)" Cheers!

    @@alejandroantoniovaladezuva4504 Merzbow has an ENORMOUS discography (I've got 40 albums and there's probably 10 times as much out there and it can get a bit samey). I reckon '24 Hours A Day of Seals' is a good metal choice as it features some evil sounding guitar loops. I love Japanese noise (early Boredoms, Incapacitants, Masonna etc.) because it's so unhinged it makes me smile whereas I find metal seems too serious for me, maybe that's because I'm 60 and life's getting too short to want to actively seek out doom and gloom.
