Rod's Favorite Use Of Samples!
|
Sometimes, samples can improve the atmosphere of a song just as much as the instruments (or even more). This is a compilationn of some of my favorite samples in metal. I'm trying to keep it one album per band but exceptions are just fine. Oh yeah, I forgot something: I'm not gonna be too specific about where these samples are. It's way more interesting to discover them on your own!
Recommendations are welcome! Just don't get upset if I don't like them. D: Please write band AND album. Rec's awaiting evaluation: N.K.V.D. - Vlast Will Haven - Voir Dire The Monolith Deathcult - Trivmvirate Necrophagia - Deathtrip 69 Cathedral - The Carnival Bizarre Ævangelist - De Masticatione Mortuorum In Tumulis Fantômas - Delirium Cordia Metallica - Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, ...And Justice For All Deicide - Legion Cathedral - The Carnival Bizarre Tool - Lateralus, Ænima Impaled - Mondo Medicale Queens Of The Stone Age - Queens Of The Stone Age Immortal - Sons of Northern Darkness Heathen - Victims Of Deception Fear Factory - Demanufacture White Zombie Strapping Young Lad - City Static-X - Wisconsin Death Trip Nailbomb - Point Blank Impetigo - Horror Of The Zombies Lamb Of God - Ashes Of The Wake Buzz*Oven - ...At A Loss Toxik - Think This Hell - Human Remains Machine Head - Burn My Eyes Bolt Thrower - Mercenary The Ruins Of Beverast - Unlock The Shrine, Foulest Semen Of A Sheltered Elite Agalloch - Faustian Echoes Alrakis - Alpha Eri Blacklodge - Solarkult

I would suggest Bolt Thrower's Mercenary ...Its not full of samples but damn they are used good! Just listen the start of No Guts No Glory
---- "Cross is only an iron,hope is just an illusion,freedom is nothing but a name..." "Build your walls of the dead stone...Build your roofs of a dead wood..Build your dreams of a dead thoughts"

This is really the only track on the album that has any samples in it, but I really like the ones in this, whatever they're from
---- I am the Magician and the Exorcist. I am the axle of the wheel, and the cube in the circle. “Come unto me” is a foolish word: for it is I that go. ~ II. VII

I think an exception would be reasonable for Agalloch to include Faustian Echoes. That song would be massively different without the samples. I particularly love the ending.

Written by Auntie Sahar on 24.12.2013 at 19:02 And the opening to the first song from the debut : "They know who I am ... They got my shield, don't you get it! ... The eyes, I saw his eyes!" Song. Love the list Rod, lots of interesting stuff 
---- He who is not bold enough to be stared at from across the abyss is not bold enough to stare into it himself.

Written by Saiyanity on 01.01.2014 at 14:24 Strange I didn't think of this. Faustian Echoes is pretty much essential for this list I'd say.

The description for Abruptum sounds rather familiar  Nice idea for a list though.

This is great as well (Alrakis - Sternenstaub). I really enjoyed Sunshine inspite of it being kinda cheesy (and derivative).

Dude, as I understand what is said in all the samples Diapsiquir used in Virus STN, I'd bump it right to the first place. They're so kvlt we used to randomly use them in everyday life situations. But it's a great list. You get a +1. Do you update it regularly?

Written by Ilham on 03.06.2014 at 14:41 Hah, I'd love to understand what the samples and vocalist are saying. Thanks for the thumbs up. As for updates: Now that summer vacations are upon me, I have no excuses for not checking out all the recommendations I got from everybody... xD So yeah. I'll work on it soon...ish. It's definitely not dead though. As for first places. I don't have any. Alphabetical order to make it easier for me.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 03.06.2014 at 15:14 Yep! Horrible. The lyrics themselves deserve to be translated. Just a peak. "Génération Maudite Pénétration Interdite" is a track describing the raping of a child. The one with the crying baby sample. Ahem: "Allez, laisse-moi te toucher, arrête de bouger ! / Je pourrais être ton père tu sais." = Come on, let me touch you! / I could be your father you know. "Haha, tu as peur, acide est ma sueur / Ah... si t'avais une soeur..." = Haha, you're scared, acid is my sweat / Ah... if only you had a sister... Then there's that sample in track 5, "Diapsiquir" at 1'13": "Si vous ne l'avez pas compris, c'est parce que Dieu ne s'adressait pas à vous. Moi je l'ai vu ! Moi j'y ai accès ! J'ai trouvé la formule! Il m'a guidé, il m'a appelé ! C'est moi, MOI qu'il a choisi !" It translates into : "If you didn't understand it, it's because God wasn't talking to you. I have seen it! I have access to it! I found the formula! He guided me, he called me! It is me, ME, whom he chose!" I can't find the source of this sample, but I am almost certain it's a quote from the movie Pi I talked to you about the other night (I think it was you). It's a great movie, which I should watch again, at least to find out if this is where the sample comes from. Talking about awesome fucked up French BM, Blacklodge used some pretty cool samples in SolarKult too. But I'm sure you're familiar with Blacklodge.

Hahahaha hilarious stuff. Basically what I was expecting to read. Seems like they are the french alternative to Lifelover's lyrics. Written by Ilham on 03.06.2014 at 16:20 I only know them by name and a review from mah man Lucas. I'll remind myself to finally check them out. if I did, it was aeons ago.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 03.06.2014 at 17:58 Noooo, Lucas doesn't like Blacklodge, don't listen to what he says. He was already in his doom/drone period when he wrote that one. I remember arguing with him about it. It's definitely something you have to listen to if you like Diapsiquir. It's a lot more techo/industrial though. Some say Login:SataN is better than Solarkult, but I disagree.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 03.06.2014 at 18:09 Seriously? He does? I just lost a huge chunk of respect for the bloke, if I had any in the first place. Haha. That's most probably because he doesn't understand the lyrics. Honestly, if I didn't know what was going on in that album, I would like it half as much.

Here's one I know you're gonna like that I just discovered today... Around 16:13 in this uses the Mystery Man encounter from Lost Highway

Also, that "you see man as a rather dismal creature..." from Dopethrone is taken from The Dunwich Horror.

Written by Auntie Sahar on 10.09.2014 at 20:45 That scene immediately captures the attention of people. Love that scene, and movie as well (best Lynch movie along with Mulholland Dr. for me, which is brilliant as well). Btw, funny fact: Fred's (Bill Pullman) house was actually David Lynch's house back then (he designed the house himself as well).

Written by Erik M. on 13.09.2014 at 01:17 I'd probably go with those two along with Eraserhead, which (along with his early animated works) is a total surrealist masterpiece. You don't like it? *Also cool note: part of what makes that scene so monumental and attention-grabbing is how Lynch silences the background music as soon as the Mystery Man appears. Very clever directing.

Written by Auntie Sahar on 13.09.2014 at 03:14 Yeah, Eraserhead is brilliant, but I would say it's just not as good as Lost Highway and Mulholland Dr.. Not sure if you were implying I don't like Eraserhead, but if you were, I wonder why you would think so. I like/love everything by Lynch except for Dune which was pretty damn bad. About the music being silenced: I immediately noticed that. And time after time again I think "damn, this works so well", so yeah I definitely agree with you. Another funny fact is that Robert Blake (Mystery Man) was actually convincted for the murder of his wife a few years after Lost Highway. Can't remember the year though and whether he was found guilty or not (too lazy to look it up ).
