Pentakill

Cukulainn··24 votes·17,319 views

So i just learned that pentakill has a couple of albums... I listened to them not expecting much. It's hard for me to get into new music. What I heard blew my mind. It's all I've been listening to for the past week. I love pentakill and would absolutely love another album. I've shown it to some of my friends... They love it too. Some of them don't even play league. Kudos dev team. You outdid yourselves with this one. Truly amazing music. I would also buy shirts and other merchandise.

Do we get more Pentakill soon, Mr./Ms. Rioter?

I liked the first album a lot more. The styles of metal are much more varied and there's some really top notch singing. The second one is good, but not as good. Tear of the Goddess is my favorite of that one.

I did think the first one was a little better. The second one is good but I thought the Byzantine chanting was a little much lol. Great tracks though. I loved the female singer doing kayle's parts.

It's such a shame that people only seem to care about K/DA when, in my opinion, Pentakill is just loads better, plus they have more than just one song. And I'm not even really a general fan of metal, but I still love Pentakill's tracks.

Yes. I've shown pentakill to my friends that don't even like metal and they love it. I think it's because even though it's heavy metal it's still melodic and harmonic in ways most metal isn't.

Liking these albums isn't the same as liking metal, and if you think "most metal" isn't "melodic and harmonic" then you're unfamiliar with metal.

I like them both =). Especially the mini-comic that stars both of them (look up Suqling on twitter--the comic is precious).

I liked 4 of 8 tracks on the first album and 2 of 10 on the second. Oddly, no Rioter response on either of those. :^)

I guess everyone has different ideas of "amazing" when it comes to art.

Art is subjective.

Art is subjective.

The presence of melody and harmony isn't, though. I highly recommend exploring actual metal. You may find that you like it even more than these commercial jingles.

harmony is pretty subjective in my opinion, and while the presence of a melody is totally objective, wether you like it or not is pretty subjective.

If you look deep into a genre you generally don't like you'll eventually find something you like or at least tolerate, but that doesn't have to be because it has more or less melody than another one.

In terms of musical theory, harmony is objective. Enjoying a melody, or enjoying a song that has more or less melody, is indeed subjective, but the post I was responding to was saying that most metal simply doesn't have any, which is a false statement.

This thread is a bit like saying "I wasn't really into neo-realistic still life art before, but this stuff is great! Thanks, Taco Bell's Instagram account!"

I didnt say that most metal didn't have harmony or melody. I said that this band did it in ways most other nds don't....

Cukulainn1 votes

I do like some metal. Like pantera for example. I really liked their cowboys from hell album and their great southern trend ill albums but not really their later stuff... I dont really dig bands like lamb of god or children of bodom.
