Apology accepted man, and to be fair I was generalising way too much calling all metal heads pretentious so sorry for the inflammatory words. But you did say "All of my metal head friends agree that modern American dubstep is acceptable due to it being similarly brutal", which essentially reads as "We can't accept music unless it's brutal." So surely you can see how I interpreted it that way. And I have met quite a few metal heads who literally only listen to metal and classical music, then walk around acting like they're superior to everyone else. I'm glad you're not one of them.

As for the time signatures thing, you're just using the term wrong. You're just talking about
rhythms, time signature refers to how many beats are in a bar, and the vast majority of popular
Western music is in 4/4.

Can't give you a link because I'm on an iPad and it will crash if I try. Excision is a good example. Also check out schoolboy. Some of their stuff has pretty heavy metal influences. I don't know a lot of the producers names on the brutal drops comp but it has some really good stuff on it. On the front page of that comp you'll see half of a chicks face, with all the saturation taken out, with bright red blood streaks running down her. Did you ever see Sykth live?

Not gunna lie, I hated pretty much every tune on that 'most brutal drops' vid, like I say it just seems over the top and tacky as opposed to genuinely hard hitting. When I hear it I don't think "fuck that's hard", I think "lol they're trying too hard"

I will admit some of Excision's earlier stuff is decent but he's trying too hard to be really in your face these days and it actually detracts from the impact of the tunes in my opinion, this one still goes hard though


Yeah, I've seen Sikth 3 times before, I was at their final ever show, absolutely amazing band...
But anyway, I digress, In terms of metal influence on dubstep you really can't do much better
than checking out Distance



Those basslines are practically guitar riffs!
