[Tudrickville]

I was wondering if anyone knew of any other bands in the garage rock/ psychedelic vein, I'm really digging on Orange Sunshine, The Atomic Bitchwax, and Super****666, some pretty cool tunes there. So if you had any other suggestions that'd be cool. I found all the bands at stonerrock.com

[clairvoyant]

Can someone recommend me some Industrial music similar to Nine Inch Nails, and also something similar to Alkaline Trio. I'm not big on Pop-punk but they are one of the few pop-punk bands I like.

Try Orgy, Stabbing Westward (both industrial)?

[Mr. Black]

which Dream Theatre album should I get, I'm new to them an all, but i've listening to loads of new bands and Enjoyed them, ANd I do want to try some Dream Theatre so...
Which Ablum should I get?

Which Ablum should I get?
I would say Scenes From A Memory as it gives the best overall impression of Dream Theater.

[G_Mac07]

Firstly, it's Dream Theater. :P

I recommend you start with Awake. It's an awesome all around album. My favourite however, is Train Of Thought. It feels heavier to me, and I like it. However, many DT fans say Images & Words is their best work, although I personally don't agree. Either of those three would be a good start.

Train of Thought is too centred on heavy, shread based songs to be a good starter album for Dream Theater, I feel.
Awake is no where near as easy to get into as []Scenes...[/i].

Also, you should check out their monumental song A Change of Seasons which will give you a very good idea of what Dream Theater are all about.

[G_Mac07]

SFAM would indeed be a good starter album. ToT and Awake were the two I started on, and loved them both. I was recommending on my own personal favourites though.

[Mr. Black]

thanks, I'll look into it, also I need some Cult albums, know any good ones

[Mr. Black]

My guitar teacher and I where talkin about newer Rock Bands as we've been covering things by Led Zep and Metallica and I started to play a riff from Sugar by System of a down he asked me what it was I was playin and I Told him, so we got talkin about bands from newer times,, and after talkin about such bands, he recommended Coal Chamber, sayin the music was excellent, so does anyone no any Coal Chamber what they' are lik and what to get.

[bucket]

I'm looking for suggestions.

I like mainly Opeth, Porcupine Tree, and King Crimson, aswell as some other odds and ends. I like the folky acoustic bits (Nick Drake) and some Melodic Death (Jester Race). I'm not picky, but I definetly want something versatile like Opeth.

Prog *insert genre here* is usually good, but anything goes as long as intrumentation skills don't hinder the band.

I hear about Nevermore a lot, but I've not listened to much at all. Same goes with Death.

Recommend away please.

[TWade]

Whats the difference between black metal and death metal?

[grungeleftovers]

Nirvana - Bleach (they use some pretty kickass heavy guitar distotion on this album)
Alice In Chains - Unplugged (incredible)
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral (loud noisey and raw "you're god's dead and no one cares!)

Some Nevermore stuff I uploaded.

For Death's progressive side, get Symbolic or Sound of Perseverance. If you like it heavier and more death-y but still prog-like, Human is also great.

Song recommendations -
Crystal Mountain
Symbolic
Bite the Pain
Story to Tell
Voice of the Soul

Anthrax - "Deathrider"

Sepultura - "Arise" "Desparate cry" "Dead embryionic cells"

Something Wicked This Way Comes is my favourite, you probebly wont like the debut, most people dont due to the vocals, the second i dont mind, but you can get Days of Purgatory, with most of the songs from the first 2 albums redone vocally with Matt Barlow, and some of the guitar is re-recorded as well.

They sound like a cross between Metallica and Maiden (although they're closer in sound to Maiden) but with more power. They're best studio album is something wicked this way comes imo, but Alive in Athens sounds pretty good too. Also check out the song the reckoning from their new album (IMO the best song with their new singer, Tim "Ripper" Owens, formerly of Judas Priest).

What album is Master of Disharmony on? (dimmu borgir)

[Riva]

Should I get the black dalihia murder- mismia or Mastodon-levithian
I've heard them both and I really like them which one would you say is better

Mastodon - Leviathan. It's a very good album, and BDM bores me for some reason.

[The Cynic]

Mastodon - Leviathan. It's a very good album, and BDM bores me for some reason.


Probably because all thier songs sound the same. I agree go with Mastadon, you won't be disappointed.

That all depends on what Incubus sound you're looking for.

Fungus Amongus for their heavily primus/Bungle influenced sound
S.C.I.E.N.C.E for their nu-metal influenced sound
Make Yourself for their rock/mellow sound
A Crow Left of the Murder for their proggy/jazz sound.

For a more funky/experimental sound, S.C.I.E.N.C.E is the album for you. If you like their evolved, mellow sound, you cant go wrong with Morning View or Make Yourself

Tracks for fun: A Certain Shade of Green, Summer Romance (Anti-Gravity love song), Echo, Blood on the Ground, Aqueous Transmission, Battlestar Scralachtica, The Warmth

I would get:

Scream Bloody Gore:
This album combines Blast Snare with sheer power vocals, and some of the most intense Death Guitar work you could ever wish to hear. The whole album has a kind of Escape-age feeling, something nasty is lying beneath, and it wants to get out. The bonus and live tracks on the re-master make it even better.

Standouts:
Zombie Ritual: Death Metal is born. And what a violent birth it is.
Land Of No Return: Fantastic bonus outtake track, which completes this album.
Re-gurgitated guts: Don't let the title fool you, this is beautiful.

Leprosy:
This came out after Scream Bloody Gore. It's not as heavy, but the title track among others are some of the finest Lyrical/Musical songwriting ever commited to disc. Watch out for the instrumental interplay between Chuck, Rick, Terry and Bill. It's incredible, and has a post-Megadeth ryhthmic feel to it. Possibly my favourite.

Standouts:
Leprosy: Pioneers of the 7:00 Death metal song, this is the title track, and instant stand out from their second album.
Open Casket: Probbably the most well known from this album. Well, for me anyway.
Choke On It: This is possibly the heaviest off the album. Still, absolutley incredible stuff. Chuck was so young when he created this (and SBG) it's unreal.

Human:
This is comparitavely in the negative in terms of heaviness compared to some other Death. Allthough having said that, this album has some really solidly square compositions on it. Not to mention Together As One, which is a deffinite standout. Chuck introduces Wankery To Death Metal. Death Metal takes on wankery and gets best friends with it. :lol:

Standouts:
Together As One: This is similar to Scavenger off the next album. A good all rounder.

The Sound Of Percieverance:
Indeed, this album is the sound of percieverance. Many had written Death off by this point, but songs like Scavenger, and Spirit Crusher, it shows that Death could still pack a punch, and blow your ****ing ears off in the process. This was the original Death swansong. And it contains some Metallica style slower ballads. (BALLADS, DEATH? SCUSE ME?) But seriously, check it out if you like Scavenger. The drums and bass are very prominent throughout the album.

Standouts:
Scavenger Of Human Sorrow: Bass, Guitar, Drum and Vocal solo maybe? Yeah.
Spirit Crusher: Building on the progression of Scavenger, this carves a niché as one of the best Death songs ever. :)

Dog Faced Gods,
Raging Waters,
C.O.T.L.O.D (Curse Of The Legions Of Death, this borders on Death metal actually),

Then it'll be your style exactly.

I really think a common misconception of Death Metal is that it's all unrelentingly heavy. That is not true at all. You have Melodic Death Metal, which does have very loud and decidely random patches, yet it has a softer, gentle, and even more acoustic side.
I would honestly check some out.

Can someone recommend me some Burzum?

THX

Seen as Johnny already gave some, how about Burzum/Aske ? It's an E.P, and it has around 8 tracks on it. Each very eerie and atmospheric. Failing that deffinitely Filosofem, it's one of the better Black Metal releases.

Failing those, just get Mayhem's De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, it's one of the best Metal releases ever.

Johnny, you dark horse! :p

[Daven]

If you want tr00 black metal style, get the self-titled album, with Det Som Engang Var being similar, but a little more atmospheric, and frankly listenable. [i]Hvis Lyset Tar Oss/i] is is a four track, 45 minute album that has a more atmospheric feel to it, and it's probably my favourite album by Burzum...but if you're a fan of a rawer, underproduced sound than their earliest albums are what you should go for.

All immediately came to mind, although obviously there are loads of others.

Master Of Puppets is not a concept album.

But here is one
Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

[Daven]

Aslo a lot of Pink Flyd.
Rush-2112

[Riva]

I respectfully disagree...I'd say that the overriding concept/theme holding it together is the idea of power, control, and how these can be abused by those holding them. There's no formal criteria for a concept album as far as I can tell, but I'd definitely count Master Of Puppets as one.

And besides, it can be looked at like this:

Battery: Childhood abuse
Master Of Puppets: Turning to drugs
Eye Of The Beholder: Falling into madness
(Welcome Home) Sanitarium: Being treated for madness
Disposable Hero: Either joining the army, or being abused by the powers
Leper Messiah: Realising the reality of religion
Orion: Death, and a search for peace
Damage Inc: Being dragged into Hell

Eye Of The Beholder is on And Justice For All. Track 3 is The Thing That Should Not Be. Plus, Orion doesn't really have a meaning, what with being an instrumental and all. And Damage Inc. is about nothing in particular.

Sorry for the double post.

Orion was a tribue to Cliff. That's meaning.

Orion was a tribue to Cliff. That's meaning.
Cliff was alive when the song was written, so wtf?

A great concept album : Age of Silence - Acceleration

[Stormrider]

Then it'll be your style exactly.

I really think a common misconception of Death Metal is that it's all unrelentingly heavy. That is not true at all. You have Melodic Death Metal, which does have very loud and decidely random patches, yet it has a softer, gentle, and even more acoustic side.
I would honestly check some out.

thnx for the recomendations.....and i dnt think theres only heaviness to death metal...but for ex i like nervermore and i cnt realy say that there not heavy cuz they are...but the atmosphere is jus diferent...

P.S:....incase somone miss red it...i now nevermore is not death metal.....
and can u recomend me any melodic death metal...lol

[Daven]

Try with Dark Tranquility, its my favorite death melodic band.

[ColdSilence245]

My personal recommendations:

Any Tool CD, if I had to choose Aenima or Lateralus.
10 Years - The Autumn Effect
Alice in Chains - Dirt
Seether - Karma and Effect
Mudvayne - Lost and Found

Thanks man. I think when I get home from vacation I'll download a bunch of their stuff. I heard Masturbating the War God, which was a really cool song. It sounded like he was growling through a pillow, but everything, other the vocals, was excellent.

Sorry for the double post.

I had Thing That Should Not Be in my head as I wrote it, I just mixed up the titles.

And something that is an instrumental definitely has meaning. This is the idea that I came up with after listening to the album.

[Lateralus23462]

Sorry for the double-post, but this addresses something completely different.

I respectfully disagree...I'd say that the overriding concept/theme holding it together is the idea of power, control, and how these can be abused by those holding them. There's no formal criteria for a concept album as far as I can tell, but I'd definitely count Master Of Puppets as one.
Concept albums are different from theme albums, and Master of Puppets is a theme album.

For the guy who asked about Melodic Death Metal, I'll suggest a few songs for you:

Punish My Heaven by Dark Tranquillity
Cathode Ray Sunshine by Dark Tranquillity
Artifacts of the Black Rain by In Flames
Square Nothing by In Flames
Blinded By Fear by At The Gates
The Chainheart Machine by Soilwork

[Deth]

What Entombed album should I start with?

[Iron Bars]

Wolverine's blues, it was one of their first albums I think and realy shows you what kind of sound they want to have and it has the track Wolverine's blues on it wich is one of my favorites by them.

now depends on what you mean by brutal prog. Some bands I think they'd fit are Spastic Ink (powertabs.net), Spiral Architect (powertabs.net) Dysrhythmia and PsyOpus

[MarkOsullivan]

hey dudes, i've heard good things about Kalmah, would anyone be able to reccommend me some of their stuff?

[G_Mac07]

anyone has any other recommendations of ballads?

Try:

Faith No More - Easy
Opeth - To Bid You Farewell

However, I think Guns N' Roses really do set the standards with ballads, with songs like Patience, Civil War, November Rain etc. If you like the ballads you've heard by them, try Velvet Revolver - Fall To Pieces and Loving The Alien.

[clairvoyant]

Hmm ballads...

Megadeth - A Tout Le Monde
Iron Maiden - Wasting Love
Metallica - One
Metallica - Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
Metallica - Fade To Black
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
