Suitable Metal to listen to in the car ...

Post by Noisenik »

... while driving to and from work.

chatzial post from another thread has given me idea for this one. I think we didn't have such topic yet, I may be wrong though.

Based on my and others experience, not every Metal sub-genre is suitable while driving in general, and esp. while driving home from work. One of my friends crashed two times bcs of studying Dream Theater and Death solos while driving home from work. I also "went wide" a few times, fortunately without consequences, and it was only Bay area stuff. Also makes me forget to keep the distance on the highway, LOL. What would you suggest? To listen to more average stuff without known or killer riffs? Prog is lightly excluded.

DRI - Four of a kind is good driving fun ... and Destructor - Maximum destruction. Once crashed with Axehammer (not my fault) and Dark Angel's first (my fault) ... Dark Angel is now banned from the car .... fuckin Voodoo!

I prefer crust and death metal behind the wheel. Stoner rock is great for long drives.

US metal - thrash - NWOBHM, that's what I listen to mostly in my car. Less death metal, much less black and small doses of crust/hc/punk every once in a while.

When I was driving a lot for work, I was listening to some home-made comps mostly NWOBHM or epic stuff à la MANILLA ROAD. Now that I do very short travels, I'm listening to the latest music I've bought.

Off the top of my head:

Running Wild - Black Hand Inn
Motorhead - Ace of Spades
Noisehunter - Spell of Noise
Rotor - Tepj Szet...

Maybe also Accept - Russian Roullette

Generally something relatively fast, rocking and not necessarily aggressive.


Oh my God, that new logo :shock:

All of it. I dunno, whatever I feel like listening to. Mostly heavy/speed/thrash because that's where my tastes lie. I guess I never considered there to be any difference between 'driving music' or just listening at home. Megadeth's 502 is always cool when racing down the interstate at 80mph. :P

Yeah. Looks like the cover of a home-made compilation cd-r containing obscure 80s Eastern Bloc-metal...
