Sea shanties just hit different, especially when sung by native speakers.
Combine all 4: dungeon synth
The same thing happens when I put my King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard discography on shuffle. Gotta at least sort by album or it’s chaos.
Seriously. I saw them play a few years back and thought they were amazing. Some time later my friend put on an album in the car and my thought was, “what is this absolute garbage?” Same band somehow.
Yea, they are good at many sub genres of music, but not everyone is into all of them, or just not in the mood for death metal, jam band, EDM, Folk, and microtonal kazoo music all at one time lol.
(Saw them at Red Rocks last year for all 3 shows, everything was great live)
How do they have seemingly unlimited funds to make all these records?
I think they used a combo of self and indi publishing options early and then made their own label. They even released an album for free. So I assume they have low overhead, and just crank out albums.
They also probably make a ton of money touring.
Easy to go broke on tour, especially if you’ve a large band. Definitely helps they’ve their own label. They also seemed to have higher than norm ticket prices when they were in town here.
Boogie rock, folk psych rock, thrash metal, electronica, and even a bit of hip hop.
Can somebody please make a bot that scrapes a comment thread and produces a Spotify Playlist with all song suggestions? Would be amazing for this thread!
I would love this. Unfortunately I’m too lazy and incompetent to pull it off.
Mind if I get a link to some of the stuff you listen to? Always down to try new things. Giggidy
So this guy’s meme actually hits pretty close to my music tastes somehow lmao. I think it’s got to be because I grew up with Linkin Park and halo. So that set my path into metal, electronic, and liking chants/shanties. My tastes have grown and changed but generally the meme is right lol.
Metal
Good intro metal bands of various subgenres (featuring catchy clean vocal parts frequently)

Electronic
Currently I listen to a lot of retro EDM. Synth wave specifically. It’s like modern EDM writing a lover letter to the 80s we all see in stranger things. Which, unironically I love the intro to that show. Music like the Weeknds blinding lights fits under this umbrella of genres (https://youtu.be/4NRXx6U8ABQ).

Shout-out to Phonk as a genre too. It’s great for studying or background for working
For sea shanties, the assassin’s creed rogue and ac black flag soundtrack has great versions or real shanties.
Also look up the dreadnaughts
They are polka and shanties. It’s awesome.
The longest John’s are another sea shanty / folk song band that rules.
And the monk chants for me really is just the halo menu music lol. It’s the best game music I’ve ever heard.
I would just click on this stuff and see if you like anything. There’s so much more to these genres than what I’m posting.
Disclaimer: This is just a taste and I just picked some stuff quickly and randomly

Metal and sea shanties with Alestorm
This person drinks from a horn.
This comment made me look up at my drinking horn hanging on the wall among Ren faire weapons and shield…
Genuine question: Is it practical both for drinking and cleaning or is it really just a gimmick to look cool?
It’s kind of practical when standing or walking slowly, like at a fair. Since it’s got a shoulder strap I don’t have to hold it all the time. But you can’t set it down with anything in it. Cleaning is a little awkward but not terrible, give it a good soak and use a bottle brush to get all the way down.
It is fun to drink out of a horn though
Try out Mongolian Metal. They combine metal and throat singing.
The who? The Hu! Who? The HU!
I assume you are familiar with Mongol throat singing, especially delivered in the form of techno)? I also like guys who put traffic cones in their bass saxophone. Death metal with a Banjo anyone? This intrigues me, though I don’t speak french.
If you’re into weird French music, give Igorrr a listen: drum & bass, glitch music, extreme metal, classical female vocal singing gibberish with baroque influences.
I’ve heard it called “Baroquecore”.
Sometimes Youtube’s absolutely random recommendations go hard.
Oh! weird French music ? Never been down that road before . Thanks ✌️
Enjoy. There’s a “making of” for his latest album on Youtube.
Dude built some instruments himself. He has an artist supporting him going “WTF is he going with this?”. And when pedals and weird amps aren’t enough for your guitar distortion, the obvious answer is to play it while the equipment is set on actual fire.
my favourite “genre” of music is happyish songs about death
examples:
and also all the songs that give me specifically the same vibe. my friends are often confused
edit: thank you all for the recommendations <3 a lot new songs on my favourite playlist!
Not a ‘revival hymn’, but more of a ‘survival hymn’. (As introduced one time by the artist.)
oh that one scratches the itch yes, perfect, thank you!
I don’t like music in major-key but make an exception for Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival, who specifically talked about how he made the juxtaposition between upbeat music and lyrics about the apocalypse and doom a deliberate choice and made one of the all-time classic songs.
Let’s not forget our modern folk artist!
Yeah, I just put my whole collection on shuffle and have come to appreciate the simplicity of that.
I use this web music player at home, which only supports shuffle and because it’s a web thing, I can’t either use keyboard shortcuts to skip songs (without switching to that window).
And I actually like that I can’t distract myself with selecting just the right music. Because if I don’t distract myself and just get into coding or whatever, I’ll quickly stop noticing what precise music is playing.I do, adding also Free Jazz and Stockhausen with countriy music in between.
sea shanties and gregorian chants are the fedoras of music genres
Removed by mod
actually, fair enough
So, like… Sleep Token?
No joke though, this is incredible: https://youtu.be/JJpFTUP6fIo
In my day to day playlist I have mostly brutal metal and jazz, with some '90s British trip-hop, Romanian traditional music & hip hop fusion, a bit of manouche, 2000s alternative and '90s grunge here and there…
That’s when I work or work out.
The Diablo or Witcher OSTs are for when I read or do my taxes.
Normal activities: normal music
Taxes: boss music
Heck yeah :)
If you dont mind French language songs:
