Nah, I dont really like Dream Evil

I like old Helloween to some extent. Keeper of the Seven Keys Pts 1 and 2 are both good albums but other than that I'm not a big fan.

Any body know any good Viking Metal?

Windir and Ensiferum are good for start!

[the2stranger]

for viking also:
Enslaved, Vintersorg and Borknagar (to an extent)

[Stormrider]

whats viking metal?

[Neurotoxin]

Viking metal is a sub-genre of black metal music which was created by Bathory. A lot of people mistake Viking metal for any metal with lyrical themes about Viking or Scandinavian mythology, heathenism, etc. However, this is a completely different musical style. Arrangements are usually more complex than the somewhat simple early black metal that originated in Norway in the early 1990s. The most prominent Viking metal bands are Enslaved, midperiod Bathory, Thyrfing and Moonsorrow.

Lyrically, viking metal is often epic, depicting great battles between viking warlords and their Christian counter-parts.

Hope that helps...

In Flames aren't progressive, but if you like Opeth you'll probably like them (These are the only two 'extreme' metal bands I like). Go for old-school IF, like The Jester Race and Whoracle and Colony. Their newer stuff isn't as good.

If you like Athiest, be sure to check out Cynic. Download their album Focus (preferably the 2004 remix). Extremely technical death metal mixed with jazz fusion. Best songs: Veil of Maya, How Could I, I'm But a Wave to, Textures, Sentiments. Hell, more or less their whole album.

Oh yeah, Death would be an obvious choice to check out as well.

Anaal Nathrakh. Can't think of anny band that fits the description of 'pure ****ing aggression' better. try get the 'When Fire rains down from the sky...' ep

[Nostalgia]

slayer
testament
overkill
pantera (have some slower more melodic stuff but still heavy)
kreator

any, thrash bands in the later 80's will do you fine.

[RageAgainsttheBush]

what cd is panteras slower stuff and im lookin for some lighter metal with some wicked guitar (none of that demonic ****)

[Riva]

Go for '70s speed metal, you will thank me later.

[Stoic]

I already have all of Niles albums, but I'll check out Wormed.

other brutal acts: Devourment, Disavowed, Beheaded, Origin, Criterion

[HazMan]

what cd is panteras slower stuff and im lookin for some lighter metal with some wicked guitar (none of that demonic ****)

I'd say reinventing the steel is as slow as pantera gets albumwise, and its still heavy as ****. There are a handful of mellow songs strewn throughout their work, which no doubt you've probably already listened to.

As for lighter metal, try a bit of dream theatre if you haven't already, petrucci is awesome guitarist but they mix genres a bit, are keyboard heavy and have a classically trained singer so if thats not your thing you might not like it. Anthrax has some classic songs and Megadeth if ya steering more towards the classic type of metal and Soilwork is pretty **** heavy yet with a light vibe in it as well thats not overly satanic so try that if ya haven't already.

[HazMan]

i'm looking for metal with keyboards

[ween2424]

Every one of their cds has at least one slow song on it.

Shadows Fall are like late melodic death (ala late arch enemy and late in flames) with breakdowns and clean parts.

[loathed]

someone recommend me some melodic metal please? melodic i mean really melodic...thanks.

[Bartender]

Well that could cover all kinds of different genres, if "melodic" is going to be your only linking word. Could you give an example of a band that plays the kind of thing you're thinking of?

soilwork, dark tranquillity, in flames...basically melo death bands. but i wont mind any other sub genre of metal or even hardcore or rock that is melodic as hell...thanks.

[Format C: For Cortex]

soilwork, dark tranquillity, in flames...basically melo death bands. but i wont mind any other sub genre of metal or even hardcore or rock that is melodic as hell...thanks.
Dark Tranquillity is a cut above all other Gothenburg bands. You'll certainly like At The Gates. Try Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy... you might like a lot of the metalcore bands who are certainly influenced by band like In Flames, for example Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, and Unearth. I don't like these bands as much but they're still pretty good. Trivium you may like, but they're like Nu-Metal all over again, with stupid lyrics and angst and stuff. They do have wicked riffs and solos though.

[Bartender]

I think the two principal St Vitus recommendations are V and the self-titled, but one of them is supposedly very hard to find. I forget which.

loathed - you may also like a band called Eucharist. The album of theirs I see most frequently recommended is Mirrorworlds.

Death Angel

And you should check out Kreator, Sodom, Destruction, Coroner, and Dark Angel too.

anyone know any good bands?

[ArcLite]

The only thing that I could throw at you for this is Mors Principium Est. Check out their album "The Unborn" if you're not already familiar with them. Not quite the same chorus style as In Flames, but as close as I can get with my music collection. And an excellent melodic death band no matter how you look at them.

Screaming Trees, Mudhoney, Green River, Supersuckers, Dead Moon, The Melvins, Gas Huffer.

Do you mean with a similar tone? Or just that kinda slow-blues guitarish stuff? I could probably recommend something, that's my favorite type of music.

I'm sure you've heard Echoes right?

[ArcLite]

Cheeto-t, I'm not sure what you've heard already, but I think Unearth is one of the better ones. Trivium is good too. They're more straight up metal than metalcore, though. The vocals take some getting used to. I like Killswitch engage, too. Good vocals and riffage, but some people complain about how the lyrics are semi-emo. I don't care.

Between the Buried and Me (Metalcore amongst many other things)
As I Lay Dying
Byzantine
Avenged Sevenfold (old)

I included those first 3 bands because they are called Metalcore sometimes, and I think anyone who would like those metalcore bands would like them too.

For something similar to Bodom try Norther and Kalmah.

For something similar to Arch Enemy try Dark Tranquility and Arsis.

[Wish]

I want to know a GOOD metalcore band
God Forbid. They are by far my favourite band of that genre. Their new album is absolutely amazing.

[Drunken Viking]

Could anyone recomend me some good Melo Death, I listen to Arch Enemy, but I don't really know any other Melo Death bands.

[MAthiAS]

early In Flames, Dark Tranquility, At the Gates, Soilwork, Heartwork era Carcass

[PepsiMetal]

What's the heaviest band without screaming, yelling, type vocals?

[Freezing Moon]

What's the heaviest band without screaming, yelling, type vocals?
Try some Candlemass and other Doom stuff.

For Candlemass check out Nightfall. It's more Iron Maiden (like) vocals.

[PepsiMetal]

Sweet, thanks. I'll check that out. I love maiden's vocals too, so should be good.

[Bartender]

And if you like Candlemass, check out Solitude Aeturnus.

[The Flabbit Rides High]

can anyone recamend any good grunge bands besides puddle of mudd, nirvana or nine black alps?

Try Soundgarden as well! They were the better half of grunge anyway imo.

[Stoic]

What's the heaviest band without screaming, yelling, type vocals?

It actually depends on how your perceive heavyness. I would say Nevermore as a lot of their riffage is pure death metal while the vocals remain clean.

[Ad Absurdum]

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but I'm thinking it is. I'm looking for some light, spaced-out stuff in the vein of 'Subeterrenean Homesick Alien' by Radiohead. Cheers.

Try Kents albums "Hagnesta Hill" or "Isola"

[Ad Absurdum]

Okay, thanks :)

[Bartender]

You could also ask in Alt/Indie..there are several users there who I think could easily recommend half a dozen albums to you on the back of Subterranean Homesick Alien.

Okay, I'll look over there. I wasn't sure if I should've put the question in here or over there, I'll give a try over there though. Thanks.

[Bartender]

Their What I've Been Diggin' Lately thread would probably be a good place to ask, as pretty much everyone looks in there from time to time. Just link it to the end of a post about what you've been digging :)

Sorry I can't suggest anything myself, by the way.

Albums or songs?

Ive got Welcome to Sky Valley and that is a pretty good album.

Although ive heard Blues for The Red Sun is better. Try them both. :thumb:


Can someone reccomend me the good Megadeth CDs

Get Rust in Peace, Peace Sells and Youthanasia. Those are the best I think

Whatever you do...DONT GET "RISK". Worst metal album ever (imo).

[DemonicRubberDucky]

Hey, could someone get me a few good grindcore bands, similiar to D.R.I and SOD?

...

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

Hey, could someone get me a few good grindcore bands, similiar to D.R.I and SOD?

Those bands are not eve close to grindcore...those two bands fit more into with thrash if any thing.

Grind is more along the lines of Napalm Death, Pig Destroyer, The Berzerker, !T.O.O.H.!, Carcass (early era) etc etc.

[loathed]

someone recommend me some really really melodic metal. thanks.

[Shazzam]

someone recommend me some really really melodic metal. thanks.

In Flames (older albums- The Jester Race, Whoracle, Colony), Kalmah (they have the best voice i've ever heard), and Norther are all really melodic death metal, they're also some of my favorite bands. Check out Kalmah's They Will Return and Norther's Mirror of Madness (the title song rocks). Norther also has a nice cover of The Final Countdown.

You'd probably like Children of Bodom too if you havn't already heard them, but there more Power Metal with harsh vocals, but they're still really talented and very melodic. I'd reccomend Follow The Reaper as their best album.

If your looking for some heavier stuff, Arsis and At The Gates are also good too.

[we_rock]

someone recommend me some really really melodic metal. thanks.

if you're looking for Melo Death metal :

Eternal Tears Of Sorrow (my fav. band) :thumb:

-----Gothenburg melo death style-----
Arch Enemy
Dark Tranquillity
In Flames

-----viking/death metal-----
Ensiferum
Wintersun

----other great bands , worth checking------
Norther
Kalmah
Dan Swano
Quo Vadis
Trivium
Children Of Bodom (more power metal with harsh vox)
Soilwork (imo between nu-metal/melo death)

that should keep you busy :cool:

[loathed]

im so much into in flames, dark tranquillity and soilwork now...hahaha. i dont know about arch enemy. their female..."male" vocals just turn me off. and i dont know why.

I really would'nt call either of those bands "jazz".


Cynic

Lykathea Aflame is sort of 'jazz' metal too.

[Bartender]

I don't see the jazz in Lykathea :-/

[blueyxd]

I heard some of the more melodic SOAD stuff on the radio lately, and I'm liking it.

I never liked their fast/heavy/spastic songs, but I'll take suggestions for the melodic stuff, old or new. Heavy stuff is ok, as long as there's some melodic aspect to the song as well. I already know Forest, Toxicity and Chop Suey

[Flynn]

KISS - Unholy
KISS - Psycho Circus
AC/DC - Highway to hell
Motley Crue - Kickstart my heart
Metallica - Enter Sandman
Megadeth - Peace Sells
Megadeth - Moto Psycho
Motorhead - Bomber
Alice Cooper - School's out
Black Sabbath - Computer God
Ozzy - Crazy Train
Ozzy - Bark at the moon

i know i'll probably get flamed for the Metallica one, but it is good to drive to.
and if you haven't heard the KISS one's give them a listen, they are quite heavy.


I hate you.

[GenuineImitation]

Can someone recommend me some Amon Amarth.

[systmj]

Alright... lookin' for some new music. Here's some of the stuff that I like now, so if anyone can find me some music that sounds similar to any of these songs, I'd be happy.

Pink Floyd's Umma Gumma album
Led Zepplin - We're Gunna Groove
Canned Heat - Woodstock Boogie
Muddy Waters - Got My Mojo Workin'
Queens of the Stone Age's Songs for the Dead album

[Jawaharal]

Canvas Solaris are probably worth a shot as well.
Can't find them anywhere. :upset:

as for athiest, I had one of their albums, but I can't find it :upset:. And its damn impossible to find them on soulseek.

Cynic and gordain knot I've yet to check out, but will very soon. I'm in a bit of a jazz phase right now.

If you like Ummagumma you'll like anything by Mike Patton. Mr. Bungle is a great starting place for avant-garde.

For songs for the deaf, I'd pick up some Melvins stuff.

Canvas Solaris, Cynic and Gordian Knot are all (or were all) easily available on http://www.lasercd.com. I think Canvas Solaris' releases are available on Amazon.

Atheist have just had all three of their albums reissued, so they should be easy to find now (from http://www.relapse.com, if nowhere else).

[MarkOsullivan]

Alright Guys Im a huge Classic Rock fan. The Doors,Zeppelin,Hendrix etc I all love.

But I'm looking for some more songs from that genre. I have plently of songs by Cream,Deep Purple,Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Who etc so any recommendations by any reletivly (sp) unknown bands would be great

Starálfur was the song that got me into them, but Olsen Olsen, Svefn-g-englar, and Untitled #4 would also be great starters.

[G_Mac07]

For those of you who are into a combination of Inflames, Meshuggah and just pure thrash check out DARKANE. X-drummer of arch ememy, and too incredible lead/rythm guitarists and very significant vocals. I just purchased layers of lies and expanding senses. FÜcking incredible albums. There a must hear!!!!! :evil:

Thats not what this thread is for. Read the first post, and you'll see that this thread is for answering peoples requests for recommendations.

Nuguns and AEAIOAIEO (whatever the crap it's called) are pretty good choices as well.

[Fallen Zero]

I've been listening more and more to the CDs:

"This Godless Endeavor" - Nevermore
"The Inner Circle" - Evergrey

They are two amazing cd's, and i was wondering what are the best ones to get from these two artists, other than the ones i have.

For Nevermore, get Enemies of Reality or Dreaming Neon Black. Sorry, not sure about Evergrey.

[GenuineImitation]

I'd just tell you to get Ace Of Spades (the album). That's what I like most that I've heard by them. But yeah, that's probably the most generic pick there is.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

[Shadows Rise]

Can anyone recommend me some metal bands sort of like Dream Theater? Although I hear symphony X mentioned a lot from this question. Im not a fan of their vocals so is there anything else? Thanks.

[Bartender]

Control Denied's self-titled album (essentially Death with a different vocalist, playing technical/progressive metal). You could also check out Liquid Tension Experiment, which I gather is like an instrumental Dream Theater.

[G_Mac07]

Can anyone recommend me some metal bands sort of like Dream Theater? Although I hear symphony X mentioned a lot from this question. Im not a fan of their vocals so is there anything else? Thanks.

Liquid Tension Experiment are a pretty good, and they feature 3 members from DT (Jphn Petrucci, Mike Portnoy, Jordan Rudess). Either of their two albums would make a good starting place.

[Riva]

Can someone recommend me some Motorhead. I only heard Ace of Spades and Line in the Sand. I have been meaning to check more of their stuff for years, but I keep on forgeting.

Get the albums On Parole/Motorhead (hopefully the re-issue) and Bomber, as these are my favourite albums and they really are full of classic tracks.

[JonnyboyM151]

Contrary to everyone else, I would say to get their live album "No Sleep Till Hammersmith" it's a great selection of songs from the first four albums and the sound quality is much better than the albums themselves.

[Nuke Broadcast]

i see porcupine tree, yes, and team sleep mentioned on the forums quite a bit. ive gathered a little about them, but i'd like to hear a bit from each. any suggestions for songs to listen to would make my day.

[Mailman]

Hey guys,

I don't know if any of you have heard any Riverside, but if you could reccommend me something like that then I would be very grateful. (they are kind of symphonic prog, but google them for a review if you are interested. Very nice.)

Also, the song No Quater by Led Zeppelin, Indifference by Pearl Jam, the start of Present Tense by Pearl Jam, a few other songs - Could you recommend me some more songs with this kind of really mellow theme to them. I just love the No Quater feel.

Try the band Anathema, they are very atmospheric, not always soft though, not usually happy either, but it's awsome music

These are varying types of mellow
Broken Social Scene - Looks Just Like The Sun, Lover's Spit, Cranley's Gonna Make It.
Aphex Twin - Nanou2, Xtal, Iz-Us
Salmonella Dub - Push On Through, Ez On
The National - Daughters Of The Soho Riots
Fagan (www.fagan.com.au) - Dante, Slight Return, Beautiful Mundane
The Gathering - Great Ocean Road
the underwater theme from Donkey Kong Country on SNES

inferno seriosly rocks, its their latest album. there are tons of greatest hits albums to but only one is any good, i think its the only one actually released by the band to, not sure. its just called motorhead, the best of. it just has a grey cover with a picture of lemmy. its two discs. all the hits and tons of other essential listening.

I am doing a book project for school and need to get some songs that relate to the book. It doesn't matter what genre the music it is, any kind would be fine. Some stuff I'm looking for:

Eerie songs, songs about killing animals, angry songs, songs about wanting to go home, songs of despair, songs that lead up to a climax, songs about fear, etc.

By the way, the book is Lord of the Flies. So if you've ever read it then I'd appreciate any suggestions you have. Thanks.

I love that book!

I'll think of a few songs now....

EDIT: Hmmm.....try The Dillinger Escape Plan's "Baby's First Coffin", as its kinda climatic, and can sparsely apply to the book. Or the band Pig Destroyer, because the name obviously fits. Possibly Opeth's "Bleak", as that was what the situation was. The list can go on, of my half-assed song suggestions.
