The R&M Recommendations Thread

[Freezing Moon]

Can someone recommend me some Darkthrone, Ive heard Transilvanian Hunger is a great album, should i get it?
Yes, get it.

The first four Darkthrone albums are all great.

Soulside Journey is their first one which is death metal, but I still recommend it.

A Blaze in the Northern Sky, Under A Funeral Moon, Transylvanian Hunger are all black metal and all highly recommended.

Some people would also recommend Panzerfaust, but check out the first four albums first.

[Daven]

Thanks man, I will check them out.

[Stoic]

Can somone recommend me some Helloween.

Essential, in my opinion, helloween albums along with a song sample suggestion:

Walls of Jericho (Ride the Sky)
Keeper of the Seven Keys pt 1 (I'm Alive)
Keeper of the Seven Keys pt 2 (Eagle Fly Free)
The Dark Ride (Mr Torture)

[Dave de Sylvia]

Can someone reccomend some Butch Walker and some Wildheart songs for me?
I'll send you some songs by both bands; I've got your email address from the FL thread.

[On The Edge]

I'll send you some songs by both bands; I've got your email address from the FL thread.

I've downloaded Letters and Heartwork by Butch; they are awesome! Just telling you so you don't try send me songs from them.

And thanks,
If you want anything I'll send it your way.

[Dave de Sylvia]

OK, good job :) Do you want more songs or do you want to mull those over first?

I'll let you know if I need anything.

[On The Edge]

OK, good job :) Do you want more songs or do you want to mull those over first?

I'll let you know if I need anything.

Any reccomendations by him? His stuff is so awesome. Best thing you never had is an absoloutely crazy song. What address did you send it to? I have 2 and I forgot which one I posted. Was it silly_bert@Hotmail.com ?

[Dave de Sylvia]

I sent it to the silly bert one, yeah. I'll send some stuff off his debut to the same address.

Also, be awesome and post in my Butch Walker thread :cool:

[Mellotron]

If I was to get one Radiohead album to start out with, what should it be?

[Deth]

I would say go with OK Computer. The Bends is also a fantastic album, though it's OK Computer that's considered their masterpiece.

If you want something a bit more out-worldly, I absolutely love Kid A, but that's very different.

[Jacaranda]

If I was to get one Radiohead album to start out with, what should it be?
The Bends or Hail to the Thief would be my guessing. I know most people would say OK Computer because its typicaly hailed as their best but I found it a little bit harder to like then The Bends. And Hail to the Thief I thought was their catchyiest album but not even close to best.

[Bartender]

I suppose I'll go against this trend and recommend Ok Computer as a starting album. I don't see how it's any less easy to get into than The Bends (I actually found it a lot easier, but that's beside the point) and it's far better than it.

[paranoid923]

Could someone recommend some bands similar to Emperor, Arcturus, and Soleflad? I think it would considered Symphonic Black Metal. Also, what is the best Soleflad album? Thanks

[Freezing Moon]

Could someone recommend some bands similar to Emperor, Arcturus, and Soleflad? I think it would considered Symphonic Black Metal.
Try Lunar Aurora. Especially The Elixir of Sorrow.

Also, maybe check out...
Limbonic Art
Lucifugum

That's all I can really think of now.

[static]

Could someone recommend me many good Prog. Metal bands? I love Dream Theater and Liquid Tension Experiment.

[GenuineImitation]

Could someone recommend me many good Prog. Metal bands? I love Dream Theater and Liquid Tension Experiment.


Try some Symphony X and Opeth. Opeth isnt your normal prog though.

[static]

Have both of those, sorry.

[Bartender]

Gordian Knot, Spastic Ink, and maybe Theory in Practice if you don't mind death vocals.

[Silenius]

^yeah Spastic Ink, but get Ink Complete if you get one because contrary to common belief on this forum it IS better than Ink Compatible.

[static]

I'm looking for more for clean vocals, but it can be on and off like Opeth.

[Bartender]

Theory in Practice is all harsh vocals, but they're not massively deep or anything.

[static]

I like Dark Tranquillity vocals, In Flames vocals, and Children of Bodom vocals. Are they like that?

[Bartender]

Sometimes. Slightly more rasping some other times, I'd say. I can email you yousendit links for a couple of songs, if you'd like.

[static]

That'd be spectacular. It's georallen@yahoo.com

[Bartender]

Alright, sent.

[paranoid923]

[ArcLite]

The Blackwater Park album is what got me into them. Check out The Leper Affinity and Bleak for sample songs. Then proceed to buy all their albums.

[Shred Danson]

whats some good stuff by opeth?

You really can't go wrong with Opeth. If I were to recommend albums you defenitely should check out, they would be Orchid, Blackwater Park, Morningrise, and My Arms, Your Hearse. All great albums.

[Shadows Within]

also can someone name me some bands with the priest/maiden vocals?

[GenuineImitation]

3 Inches of Blood is the only band that I know of that has Priest like vocals.

[hell razor]

[the2stranger]

I don't know if it's a typo or not, but it's SOLEFALD.

anyways: if you want real Sympho Black Solefald try: Pills Against The Ageless Ills.

you can also try the new album: Red For Fire, it's more a vkingblack approach.

if you like the bands you mentioned check out: Lunar Aurora ( as mentioned before) Aberrant Vascular, Fleurety..

enjoy!

[.:Thrashman:.]

[Dude3]

Okay, I'm on a quest. I am looking for the most BRUTAL and CRAZY Hardcore/metal music that has been produced. Something kinda along the lines of Norma Jean and Dillinger Escape Plan. I'm talking the most "I'm going to light a church on fire!" heavy breakdowns. Something that'll make me go ":eek:" when I hear its heaviness. Any band/song sugesstions guys?

[Dude3]

Anybody^?

[[OverDriven]]

How about some real heavy metalcore/nu-metal bands that actually sing and aren't all about screaming vocals?

[ArcLite]

How about some real heavy metalcore/nu-metal bands that actually sing and aren't all about screaming vocals?

Just get Demons & Wizards' self-titled album and be very happy.

How about Cephalic Carnage and PsyOpus? Do also you care about extremely technical metal without -core influences?

[Riziger]

Anyone can reccomend any good songs by Corrosion of Confirmity? Heard clean my wounds and albatross, both good

[Bartender]

Long Whip/Big America
King of the Rotten
Born Again For the Last Time
Wishbone (Some Tomorrow)
Wiseblood

They're all from the one album (Wiseblood), though.

[Toaster]

Mercyful Fate's Melissa.

[GenuineImitation]

Albatross is the only song I have heard. Its really good.

[Dude3]

I'm kinda deciding on which album to get.

What would you say is a better buy out of these two?:

Between the Buried and Me - Alaska

OR

Cephalic Carnage - Anomalies


Thanks guys!

[Dude3]

Anybody^???

[On The Edge]

I've heard Between the Buried and Me's new album is extremely good by a lot of people if that is it. Haven't heard but Cephalic Carnage.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Not sure if this is in the vien of Tool, but still great calm and ambient music.

[Shadows]

Psycroptic - The Scepter of the Ancients
Cryptopsy - (anything)
Necrophagist - Onset of Putrefication

Maybe even check out Carcass's Heartwork album.
Carcass' older albums would be more suitable. Also, I suggest avoiding newer Cryptopsy. Their first three albums are best.

Ello guys. I always hear on MX how MX got them into the music they like, and well, I don't know a lot of music. I love Metallica, particularly ...And Justice For All. Apart from the entire Metallica library, I don't really listen to much else. A bit of Opeth, a bit of Dream Theatre, a bit of System of a Down, A bit of Led Zep. I prefer heavy bands, but I don't mind mellow stuff. Anyone wanna help me out?

Didn't know whether to add the DEP into the examples of bands I was looking for, as they have a slightly different sound I felt. Will give Glass Casket a look into as the drumming was recorded by a member from Glass Casket wasn't it? Really like the drumming on that record.

I think the drummer and bassist from Glass Casket are now playing for Between the Buried and Me (Alaska). The band in general sounds like BtBaM with less clean parts.

[Txus]

I'm going to play some Paintball today and need some music that really makes you want to kill people....music with a lot of rage.

[MarkOsullivan]

Hey guys looking for some reccommendationd for Bling Guardian, Pink Floyd (apart from the obvious ones) and something similar to COB.

cheers

[Iron Bars]

For Blind Guardian try Nightfall in Middle earth or Imaginations from the other side.

Something similar to Childeren try Kalmah - They will return.

[Darkness]

Rage Against the Machine.

[CantBuyAThrill]

So I've really been getting into stuff like early Pink Floyd, Rubber Soul/Revolver Beatles, the Velvet Underground, and electric Bob Dylan lately. I was wondering if there were any other bands with that similar 1965-1970 "vibe" that these bands have.

I hope you understand the style I'm going for- kind of Psychedelic, kind of Bluesy, weird lyrics, not necessarily great vocals, but something that makes it instantly recognizable. I was just wondering if there's anything similar to that kind of sound. I know it sounds kind of picky, but I've really been digging that kind of not over-produced, raw bluesy/psychedelic/almost progressive stuff lately, and was hoping I could delve deeper into that kind of a subgenre of rock.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Erm, maybe Tom Waits? He's a singer/songwriter from the '80s, but I think he fits what you're talking about quite well. Get Rain Dogs if you're looking for an album recommendation. Maybe The Moody Blues as well, although they're more proto-prog (to use my new favourite genre). Other than that, I'd suggest
It's a long shot, but I think Mr. Bungle's California would fit the bill equally as well.

[destroyer_of_all_mankind]

The Who (Classic Rock), Led Zeppelin (Classic Rock), Deep Purple(Classic Rock), Slayer (Thrash Metal), Children of Bodom (Power Metal), Cream (Classic Rock) and the Yardbirds (Classic Rock) all of which are very good bands that you might wanna check out if you haven't already.

Deep Purple - Machine Head
Slayer - Reign In Blood
Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper

Or Tiger Army, who run along the same lines.

Michale Graves' solo projects are also well worth a listen. He was Danzig's replacement in the 90s.

[destroyer_of_all_mankind]

Damn... I forgot about Danzig!!! I Love his solo work. "Five Finger Crawl" Rules!! Thanks guys for the input.

Maybe The Moody Blues as well, although they're more proto-prog (to use my new favourite genre). Other than that, I'd suggest

King Crimson
Television


Yeah, I have "In the Court of the Crimson King" and I totally love that album. I haven't heard Television yet, I'll check them out. I'll also be sure to check out some Mr. Bungle and some Tom Waits. I've listened to quite a bit of the Moody Blues, and I like 'em when I can get past the talking thing they do on alot of the songs, otherwise I really dig them.

Any other suggestions?

[G_Mac07]

Can someone recommend me a couple of good songs that would fit a depressed mood (emo lolzorz)? Similiar to To Bid You Farewell would be nice.

And while I'm at it, some 80's sounding Power Ballads, similiar to Whitesnake - Here I Go Again On My Own.

Thanks.

Add to that - Autumn Leaves, Gates of Ishtar, Dissection, Eucharist, Skyfire, some Hypocrisy, and maybe Melechesh. Note the emphasis on Eucharist.

[Riva]

Melechesh is more folk-black metal, but it should be palatable to those of melodic death tastes.

[Stoic]

you mean folk in the eastern way, right? Great band :)

[Dude3]

what would you guys say is the best Norma Jean album?

[.Realm.of.Chaos.]

Everyone listen to Between the Buried and Me
Awesome band, seeing em in 2 weeks :)

How about some song suggestions of that stuff?

[Neurotoxin]

Opeth:

I'm starting to get into Meshuggah, and have no idea what to get next. I already have I [EP], though.

[Cocaine]

Opeth:
Still Life

Damnation

I'm starting to get into Meshuggah, and have no idea what to get next. I already have I [EP], though.

For Meshuggah I'd recommend "Chaosphere" or "Destroy, Erase, Improve".

[Darkness]

Get Nothing, or Catch 33, if you enjoy I. Then go back farther to Chaosphere and Destroy, Erase, Improve.

[Killtacular]

For Meshuggah I'd recommend "Chaosphere" or "Destroy, Erase, Improve".

These are the ones I was leaning further towards. Which would you recommmend out of those two?

[Toaster]

These are the ones I was leaning further towards. Which would you recommmend out of those two?

If you like strange timing, heavy pounding and don't like progressive, get Chaosphere. If you like strange timing, heavy pounding and like progressive, get DEI.

Chaosphere has NO clean guitars whatsoever, that might give you a clue as to what the content is like.

[Cocaine]

These are the ones I was leaning further towards. Which would you recommmend out of those two?
I'd personally say "Destroy, Erase, Improve", but I'm by no means an expert on Meshuggah.

[Toaster]

These are the ones I was leaning further towards. Which would you recommmend out of those two?

Do you want a song or two off each?

If so, tell me if you have iTunes.

[Toaster]

If there is one, someone recommend me what is considered the greatest power metal album ever. I've been meaning to get into some, but I need a good place to start.

[Stormrider]

Get into some Blind Guardian. But unfortunatly, i can't recomand you any album because i don't own any :upset:.

But here are some songs though:

Imaginations from the other side
And then there was silence
Valhalla
Precious Juruesalm
Lost in a twilight hall

I only know about 25 Blind Guardian songs so my list here might not be the best out there.

I hope it helps...

I'm not one of the more prominent PM listeners around but you could start with: Helloween - Keeper of the seven keys part 1 and 2 ( most say these are the first Powermetal albums ever) ,Galloglass - Legends from now and nevermore, Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle earth or Somewhere far beyond, Dragonforce - Sonic Firestorm, and last but not least Dungeon - Rise to power

[shamed-angel]

Opeth-
Deliverence
Blackwater park
Ghost of perdition (not alot like it, but I love it)

Nevermore-
This Godless Endeavor
Dreaming Neon Black
Enemies of Reality
You mean Ghost Reveries?

I'd say Deliverance, Still Life, BWP and for Nevermore, This Godless Endeavour.

[GenuineImitation]

Yeah, I was listening to Ghost of Perdition at the time so it happened subliminally.

Can some recommend me some Dredg.

[G_Mac07]

Dredg: Get Catch Without Arms or El Cielo.

[Txus]

I know this might sound a little strange.....but i think everybody has been in this kind of situation...well the deal is that i need some Tunes while having an orgy I'm not kidding.....so please tell me what would you choose.

[GenuineImitation]

:lol: I have never been in that situation, but I guess something fast and rythmic. Not sure what bands or songs though. Sorry...


Dredg: Get Catch Without Arms or El Cielo.

I'll check that out. Thanks for the help.

:eek: What now!?

Maybe song Funk influenced stuff with a nice groove? Early RHCP, some Faith No More. I'm listening to Joss Stone - Fell In Love With A Boy right now, that could go alright. I really don't know. Hell why not even play come Cannibal Corpse.

[Shadows Within]

How about some Orgy? Not a great band, but a pretty good conversation starter.. especially if your partners are unaware of your plans at first. :p

I was kidding man well im really havint he orgy i think lol.....but i was kidding about the part that everyone has been in that situation.....chill out dude! :)

[randomthought9]

lol orgy music. well, im not as lucky as that guy, but do any of you guys know of some good acoustic music? I like Pink Floyd's acoustic stuff, like Wish You Were Here, and especially Goodbye Blue Sky. I'm looking to broaden my musical taste a little past distorted guitars all the time.

[GenuineImitation]

Were you kidding that alot of people were in this situation, or the need for songs for an orgy.

[Txus]

I don't care if you were kidding or not, since sarcasm does not float through the internet very well.

And to ask an internet forum about what music you should play during a sexual activity is pretty lame if you ask me. Find out for your self and keep it to your self, because frankly we don't care.

[GenuineImitation]

That a lot of people have been in that situation.


Oh, I see. I think you'll be fine as long as their is some good rythm to the muisc. As I have never been in that situation, I honwestly have no idea. I'll try to find something though.

[Deth]

Which of these is the best Blind Guardian album?

Battallions of Fear

I saw those 2 at a low price in a store. Which of those 2 you rather though ? I was thinking of picking up one of them after i bought Imaginations from the other side.

No idea. I haven't heard either.

Do you own any Blind Guardian album ?

Yeah, I love Hansi's voice on that album, ive heard about 6 or seven songs from it. Out of what i heard though theres one thing that bothers me a lil, the rythm guitars in a few are too low in the mix. But besides that, its realy good.

[Steerpike]

lol orgy music. well, im not as lucky as that guy, but do any of you guys know of some good acoustic music? I like Pink Floyd's acoustic stuff, like Wish You Were Here, and especially Goodbye Blue Sky. I'm looking to broaden my musical taste a little past distorted guitars all the time.

Michael Schenker has a couple acoustic songs here and there. Nightmare is the first that springs to mind.

Blind Guardian also did a couple good acoustic songs on their album Imaginations from the Other Side.

A great acoustic group overall is the ska group Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution.

Blackmore's Night is largely acoustic, and might help you get into some folk and classical influences.

That should help get you started.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

What's a great/the best Obituary album?
Get Cause Of Death.

[DaveTheAmazing 2.0]

I was listening to "The Spirit Carries On" by Dream Theater. I enjoyed it and it made me happy inside my heart. Does anyone know any other happy/acoustic songs that make you feel warm inside your heart?

[Steerpike]

Eagleheart by Stratovarius usually does it for me. As well as Forever by Edguy and Pure by Lost Horizon.

In fact, Edguy and Lost Horizon are generally pretty happy guys in general. But it's not like a relentlessly cheerful kind of happy, it's more like an energetic "**** yeah!" kind of happy.

[AA-12]

I need bands/songs that sound like Isis - The Beginning and The End. The vocals and music are amazing.

[Elnimio]

Unfortunately Painkiller cannot be reached. However, you might like Cage.

Ok, this may be a tough one. Bands that could be compared lyrically to Bad Religion; not punk bands because I have already heard those names(also because asking this in "Rock and Metal").

Angra are an extremely talented Brazilian power metal band. Try their album Temple of shadows.

Edguy I have to whore for of course. Hellfire Club is a great album.

In the vein of Children of Bodom, there's also Norther and Kalmah.

Kamelot's Black Halo album is also brilliant.

Fermented Offal Discharge

[ChickenMcFicken]

I doubt any of you remember me, it's been a good year or more since I last actively posted in R&M, but I'm back from the depths of the guitar forum to look for some suggestions.
I listen to mostly classic rock, but I'd like to get into some more metal. Now when I'm not listening to classic rock,blues, etc. I've got a pretty narrow group of bands that I listen to. I'll listen to early-mid 90's AFI (I know it's not metal, just giving more of my likes), about up to The Art of Drowning. I'm a decent System fan, but much more of their earlier stuff. (nu-metal, but I'm working my way up). I'm a decent fan of Dream Theater and Trans-Siberian Orchestra when it comes to prog-influenced metal. And for real metal I pretty much only listen to Disillusion (http://www.disillusion.de/). I don't know how many of you have heard of them, so I linked the band site.
I usually am not a fan of the ol' cookie monster vocals, but the same goes for high pitched screamers such as those found on dream theater and the likes. I'm getting better with cookie monsters (see Disilluison), but would like if they're kept to a minimum.
Thanks a lot. I'll edit in anything more I think of.

Also, I use Rhapsody from listen.com for streaming music, so if you know if bands do or don't allow their music to be streamed, that would be a plus. If not, I can still try sound clips from CD store websites and band web sites.

[lucky luciano]

Acid Bath - Pagean Terrorism Tactics, When the Kite String pops

[superflyjojo]

I recently bought Horror Show by Iced Earth, and downloaded Burnt Offerings by Iced Earth, and I love them both. I love the melodic, epic feel of Horror Show, and I love the heaviness of Burnt Offerings. I was wondering what would be a good album to pick up next?

[Iron Bars]

Something wicked this way comes is a good one to get next. It has the melodic stuff you talked about but is a bit darker. Their latest album has grown on me latly,The glorious burden, it has a different vocalist on it so it might take a bit getting used to after Matt Barlow but he is good too.

For some metal:
Alchemist-progressive metal with some more "rocky" riffing mixed with some "thrashy" riffing;they use a lot of keyboard sounds and have thrashish yelling vocals with some singing too
http://www.alchemist.com.au/html/audio.htm <---some mp3 samples

Chalice-Doomy gothic metal; A rather unknown band but you can find them at some online music shops. I really like them because they actually put songwriting and riffs to match the vocals, rather than hide behind them.
http://www.chalice.mu/liaising_pandora.mp3
http://www.chalice.mu/static.mp3
http://www.chalice.mu/child_of_the_matador.mp3

Sikth-kind of like SOAD if they were a legit metal band with some odd shifting riffs and vocals; I suggest the song "Hold My Finger" but the songs on their site are representative also. http://www.sikth.com/

Into Eternity-power + melodic death? Hard to describe; they use a mix of vocals(lower growl, shierk, melodic power metal); though the harsh vocals aren't so bad for beginners, I was fine with them even when I didn't like harsh vocals. There are a few mp3s to download here http://www.intoeternity.net/disc.php

While Heaven Wept-progressive doom with quite melodic vocals http://music.download.com/whw/3600-8659_32-100074696.html?tag=listing_song_artist

and....

Atheist-progressive death metal; very awsome stuff, the vocals aren't overly harsh and they have songs in which you can find something new with each listen. Also, each album has its own unique flavor:
from Piece of Time(thrashier)
http://www.unheardonline.com/audio/Atheist%20-%20%20I%20Deny.mp3
from Unquestionable Presence(crazier riff changes, more deathy)
http://shop.relapse.com/content/downloads.aspx?MediaTypeID=2 (scroll down a bit)
from Elements (less crazy riff changes but with a jazzier sound)
http://www.unheardonline.com/audio/07-Mineral.mp3


I hope you can find something in this post to your liking. I would be interested to know what you think.

[ChickenMcFicken]

Thanks a lot. I got a lot of paper writing to do today, so I'll definitely check some of it (if not all) out.

So far I've listened to Alchemist, and had mixed feelings. It's pretty good, I just don't know if I'd go and buy it. Just doesn't have that click, but I've only lisened to the songs once, so they may grow on me.

If anyone knows similar bands to Disillusion (I ran a search, didn't get anything really). They are a good 75+% of the metal I listen to now (if not more), so that would be cool.

I really apriciate(sp) that list, and the fact that you put samples for me.

The Chalice is pretty good too, a bit more what I'd listen too, I think. I'm not too sure what to think about the vocals though. Usually that kinda vocals would put me off, but I'm just not sure yet. I liked the flute, or flute effect, in the first song. I'm a sucker for the flute (Jethro Tull tomarrow!)

[Shadows Within]

can someone some good shredders

and some good jason becker songs

I just listened to Disillusion. They're pretty good, for a start. Anyway, based on listening to them, the first band that came to mind was Winds. That may well just because of the heavy incorporation of classical bits into the first Disillusion song I heard, so I don't think it's a perfect recommendation. Worth checking out, though. I couldn't find any handy mp3s, but here's their site if you want to do some looking of your own: http://www.winds.ws/index2.php

Second, I recommend Theory in Practice. Death metal, but the vocals in particular are similar to the harsher vocals in Disillusion; not quite growling in the same deep way as many death metal bands, but slightly rasping. And their music is just fantastic, with an unusual emphasis on keyboards for a death metal band. MP3s;

http://hem.passagen.se/theory/Colonizing%20The%20Sun.mp3
http://hem.passagen.se/theory/Conspiracy%20in%20Cloning.mp3

There are several more available at their official site (http://www.theoryinpractice.cjb.net/); I just picked my favourites offhand.

I'd second Bryan's Atheist recommendation; they're highly technical, jazz fusion-influenced death metal which I think you might like. The vocals always brought to mind a slight harsher Dave Mustaine for me, so you should be fine with them. Unfortunately their very best songs don't seem to be available for free download.

Let us know feedback on what we recommend, so the recommendations can be further honed.

[ChickenMcFicken]

Thanks bartender too. Winds is actually on rhapsody (the only one out of both lists). I think the classical influence is part of why I like Disillusion. The first music I actually started listening to on my own (not just listening to whatever is on) was classical, so I think that may have some subconcious influence even though I can't listen to it for more than 5 minutes now.

I've listened to Sikth a bit, and I wasn't really in the mood for it, so I didn't really give it much of a chance. Into eternity, though, of the 4 I've listened to it seems like it's the best fit for me (I'm not all the way through them). Just kinda clicked. I'm looking forward to Atheist now too.

The Atheist was kind of a let down, it just didn't seem to fit. Not that I didn't like it, I just didn't really like it a whole lot either.

While Heaven Slept was pretty good too. Definitely on the re-listen list.

[firemoth12]

Hey guys I was wondering if you could help me find some heavy metal/hard rock in French. I barely find anything on google.

Must:

-have lyrics in French
-no growling/screaming crazy stuff
-be good


Anybody know some bands? Also, if it's possible to download songs, please mention it.

[Riva]

Try Metal-Archives, and look at the reviews for each band.

The only French metal bands I know are extreme metal, which is what you don't want.

[blueyxd]

I'm taking suggestions for some good Sting/The Police songs. The more technical, the better.

I already have Message In A Bottle, Roxanne, Shape Of My Heart and Straight To My Heart

After one listen through everything I think Into Eternity may be my favorite. Of course, that's just one listen, things can certainly change. Thanks for the help :thumb:

This might be sort of broad, but I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of some good metal or music in general with really good clean vocal work, preferrably not power metal (I love power metal, but that style of singing is getting old). I know it's broad, but it's a challenge I hope you guys are up for...thanks in advance.

[Stormrider]

If you like good vocals with lots of emotion and power, get into the Barlow years of Iced Earth. Actualy any Iced Earth has good vocals.

Some ppl say they are power metal and others say there more thrashy.

I can't seem to get into Iced Earth, really, but thanks

Too broad...I could recommend you some very good alternative/prog/indie stuff, but I don't know if you'd like it at all. Going for some simple alternative style rock, try Dredg, The Wildhearts, Muse, Faith No More, and The Who. But they're pretty random picks, to be honest.

I'm not much of a Who fan and I listen to the others already, except Wildhearts, who I'll check out. Thanks anyways guys.

Can someone recommend me some good Jazz Metal? I once heard that Atheist was Jazz Metal...

And can someone send me the link to the Monthly Metal Competition thing, the Jazz Metal one?

[Fullysick metal man]

Somebody please reccomend something similar to the gothy/depressing/emo vibe on this song

Katatonia-Evidence

Song, band or album recomendations would be awsome.

Try Cynic. They only have one album, calledFocus.

That link you're looking for should be in the rules thread.

Thank ye Mr 57, I shall have a listen.

That song instantly reminded me of Babylon Zoo - Spaceman
Do you know Anathema? Are You There? (mp3) (http://anathema.rockmetal.art.pl/mp3/anathema-are_you_there.mp3). This song is softer with less of a beat, but the band ranges from very ambient to doom metal. Panic, Deep and Judgement have much more beat like that Katatonoa song. Also try their songs Inner Silence, Radiance, Shroud Of Frost, A Fine Day To Exit, Parisienne Moonlight and Emotional Winter for all sorts of emo/depresso/gotho stuff

Anathema will do quite nicely

what album do you thnk best defines their sound?

[King_Of_Terrors]

Yeah, Cynic are the most obvious bet. Try Planet X, Ephel Duath and Gordian Knot if you're into that sort of thing as well. Atheist are great, if you've never heard them before. I can't seem to find the link to the jazz metal competition...are you sure it was a category?


Yes, see, this was quoted from the Death Metal Compotition one.

Pick any genre, save for the following:

- Black metal
- Melodic Death metal
- Progressive metal
- Jazz metal
- Death metal


Those are the genres' the winners could not pick for the next Metal Compotition Thread Genre.

I see many people say Judgement.. I haven't heard it all, so I don't know. It's about the middle album on their timeline. Anyway, it's bound to be good.
The Silent Engima and anything before that is doom metal if you're interested.

[camelfarmer]

Someone please tell me some bands to take a listen to. Anything you feel is a must listen to, keep in mind I dont like death metal and the likes. Im mostly into prog rock and soft rockish stuff, and a little metal. Examples are dredge and porcupine tree. I like coheed as well but this might be the wrong place to ask for similar bands.

Thanks.

[Fullysick metal man]

symphony x
racer x
dream theatre
rush

progressive/virtuoso metal

[Leukeh]

Element Eighty
Novembers Doom
Bullet For My Valentine (their name sounds emo, but their not)
The Fall of Troy
3 Colors Red
A18

[camelfarmer]

Leukeh are those hardish bands? Cause Im not really in the mood for that, its gotta be softer than the bands in the previous post.

thirsy merc
uriah heep

some of iced earth is pretty soft... maybe some audioslave?

[to_Burn_The_Eye]

I've heard a couple of songs by cradle of filth and really like them, im wondering whats there best album to get? Thanks

[camelfarmer]

Thanks luekeh, Ive got loads of jack johnson. Dont really like the audioslave or the killers though. Ill check some of that out soon.

[blueyxd]

I remember recommending Anathema to you before... dunno if you listened or not
so... how about Mogwai or Decoder Ring?

[Iron Bars]

I've heard a couple of songs by cradle of filth and really like them, im wondering whats there best album to get? Thanks

I hevan't heard any of their really old stuff but from the albums I know of I'd say Midian or Lovecraft and Witchhearts (a best of album).

[camelfarmer]

I liked mogwai, good to listen to but not actually pay attention to you know.

[The Cynic]

I've been meaning to get into Death. Can anyone reccomend me some songs and some albums? Thanks.

[IAJP]

I would probbably say Symbolic or Leprosy maybe.

[Freezing Moon]

Scream Bloody Gore is probably their best album for anyone who's never listened to them before. Quite possibly their best album, actually. Human is probably what I'd say after that. For songs I'd advise just getting your hands on Scream Bloody Gore and then going from there, to be honest.

I wouldn't say Scream Bloody Gore is the best intro to Death. Their best album, probably, but probably not the best introduction.

I'd say start off with Human because it's the middle point of their progressive and old-school stages.
