The R&M Recommendations Thread

[Greenfont]

What would anybody consider to be the most destructofying explodofying and most unlistinable extreme music known to man?

one that would create such an awsome wall of sound that it would shatter n00b ears upon first listening.

Black/death/grind whatever would be acceptable


i'm using this as an example of what kind of noise explosions i'm looking for as its the most extreme example in my (limited) music collection.

http://musica.mustdie.ru/en/band/gorgoroth/3845/
Atari Teenage Riot's Burn. Burlin, Burn! This is the heaviest mess of noise that i have heard in a long time.

[GenuineImitation]

I guess I'll check the Trash Thread then. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Stoic and Apocalyptic Raids.

[Ve Das]

Now this is tough. These came to my mind but are possibly inaccurate:
Metal Church
Razor
early Annihilator

I'm sure the guys in the thrash thread will be much more helpful :p

I´d add Nuclear Assault and Forbidden to that list.Not really THAT similar,but if you like Overkill you´ll usually like those two as well.

[JackG]

Led Zeppelin-Physical Graffiti
Led Zeppelin-Presence
Ratm-The Battle Of Los Angeles
Slipknot 9.0 Live
Pink Floyd-Dark Side Of The Moon

My Top 5

Novembre


edit: Damnit. I was beaten.

[Drunken Viking]

I was messin around with the guitar like usual, and I thought up a couple rhythms and put them together, but I don't really know what genre/s it sounds like. It will have both screaming and vocals when it is complete. Here is the clip:

http://www.bigupload.com/php/download_file.php?id_file=573C38BE (http://www.bigupload.com/php/download_file.php?id_file=573C38BE)
Kinda sounds like Blink 182 or that one really popular song by Switchfoot, I forgot it's name though.

[AuDioFreaK39]

yeah, I kinda based it off of Meant to Live by Switchfoot, but then it's more melodic. I just don't know which genre it would be classified as if it involves screaming and singing.

sorry if you don't like this but it sounds rather punkish to me, sounds like a slight hint of metal aswell. better than anything i could do, probably as i have never written anything before:p

[Cocaine]

Um. When did this become Audio Arena?

[Danger Bird]

I'm doing this thing where I'm going to listen to music for an entire day. It'll be like a soundtrack, the music will fit with what I'm doing. Right now I need a good song to take a shower to. All I have so far is Yellow Submarine and Singing in the Rain. Any suggestions?

[David_Gilmour]

bit of a crap suggestion but 'why does it always rain on me?' by travis.
you never know?

yeah 100 posts!!

Didn't you ask this already?

I personally don't like them, but I'm told "Burn Piano Island Burn" is one to get.

[David_Gilmour]

Stevie Ray Vaughn

[Cocaine]

I'm looking for some metal with good breakdowns.
Please note I am not looking for metalcore, nor am I looking for music that's entire focus is breakdowns. Hope this is enough to go on.

[Sleepy]

Could anyone please recommend some good folk metal in the vein of Wintersun, Ensiferum, Kalmah, and Finntroll, as well as black metal without the terrible production (besides the newer Dimmu Borgir).

Also, what is considered to be DragonForce's best CD?

Dragonforce's best cd is either Inhuman Rampage or the upcoming Inhuman Rampage

Some BM I've discovered (and I hate ****ty production) is as follows:

1349 - Hellfire
Anorexia Nervosa - Drudenhaus
Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
Immortal - Sons Of Northern Darkness
Naglfar - Sheol

They're not the most "true" black metal albums by any means, but I like them. Sorry, I can't help with the folk metal stuff though.

[Sleepy]

I have Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse and must say that the production value is nauseating. It's awesome music though, once you break through the fuzz.

And thanks for the DragonForce recommendation :thumb: I'll probably end up asking Jay about the folk, anyway.

Bump!! Anyone? If it helps, I'm loving the breakdown in the Aeon song "Forever Nailed", as well as the classics like "Slit Your Guts". Burrgggggh...I need to learn to be more specific.

[RoyIsKing]

im looking for some metal to add to my collection in the vein of older stuff from metallica and megadeth

in other words stuff that is technically sound in terms of guitar quality

[The Cynic]

Try some Nevermore. This Godless Endeavor has some pretty cool break downs. Or try Emperor's IX Equiliburiums' Curse You All Men.

If you don't like shitty production then you should check out Dissection's Storm Of The Light's Bane.

**** totally! I should have recommended it, that album is amazing!

[Drunken Viking]

Can anyone recomend me some music in the vein of Death and Negrophagist.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Well it depends what era death you're talking about....

Oh, and C&C, Rapture by Morbid Angel has an awesome Breakdown.

[Freezing Moon]

Can anyone recomend me some music in the vein of Death and Negrophagist.

Try Gory Blister and Illogicist for stuff in the vein of Death.

I think they're fairly different...

Well, I'll give it a shot.

Atheist...That's really all that comes to mind now.

[Drunken Viking]

I meant them to be different recomendations, like some stuf like Death, and some stuff like Necrophagist, sorry should have made that clearer.

We have, but you arent supposed to randomly recommend stuff here. People ask for a suggestion, then you tell them what they need.

Hey CocaineAndCrucifixes, have you been completely sucked into nevermore yet?

Hey CocaineAndCrucifixes, have you been completely sucked into nevermore yet?
I've heard nevermore before, just not that album. I like them for sure, but they're not the best. I'm just finishing my..urm.."purchase" of that album.

[Moses]

Have you listened to This Godless Endeavor? Album of 2005, easily.

[Cocaine]

I'm going to in a bit. Listening to Aeon right now, they're awesome. Anyways, let's stop the off-topic posting.

[I'm Charming]

Could someone give me some band names,

Something in the vain of Arsis...


Thanks.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Try Arghoslent, they rulwe.

Incorrigible Bigotry is ****ing awesome. better than any ghothenburg gayness.

[StreetlightRock]

Definately Arghoslent. You could also try Quo Vadis, and if you truely, honestly want to stretch it to the more brutal side, Death.

[Stoic]

How about the bands Arsis were mostly influenced by? At the Gates and late Carcass.

[I'm Charming]

I've heard mixed things about At The Gates....

Some people say they are amazing... Some say they average.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Slaughter Of The Soul is average. One of their older tracks I heard was better though.

[Stoic]

I've heard mixed things about At The Gates....

Some people say they are amazing... Some say they average.

It depends on who you ask. For example, some people are too "tr00" to like them. I think that they're very good for their genre.

[nowitzki]

Any suggestions for some music that's calm, yet very haunting and atmosperic?

I'd say Peccatum is a good choice. Lost in Reverie is all I've heard, though.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Film scores might work for you. I currently suggest the Charlie & The Chocolate Factory soundtrack. Aside from the first few songs from the movie, the score is very mellow and quite varied.

[Anakin]

Could anyone give me some bands that are just great for pure rocking out? I'm not much of a death metal person but I do like heavy stuff. Thanks.

Dream Theater - Train of Thought makes me want to rock out, and it has clean vocals. I really don't know what you're asking for.

Sorry, just something fun to listen with heavy guitar rifts (sp?) and things. Thanks though.

GenuineImitation is doing a write-up on Sodom, it should be done really soon, he will probably send out uploads.

[Ve Das]

I´m fully aware this doesn´t belong in R/M but since other music has no such thread(that I can easily discover.The fück I´m searching for it when I know people here are just as competant...) I thought I´d ask around in this here thread.So,here´s the big question: What Björk album(s) to get?

[Riva]

Also, stay away from her movie career. Ugh.

I like Vespertine the best.

[King B]

Is there anything similar to hella that's worth checking out.

I'd say all of them, rather unhelpfully. Nothing she's released yet has been perfect, but I think it's always worth listening to.

For a start though, I favour Homogenic.

[DanD]

I'm interested in Frank Zappa, but there is sooo much. Where is a good place to start?

[Bartender]

Freak Out! is a rock album. It's one of his best, without being too weird or esoteric, or otherwise offputting, for a newcomer.

[Ve Das]

Thanks folks,I´ll check those out :-)

[Drunken Viking]

I'm looking for any bands that are along the lines of the new Avenged Sevenfold, City Of Evil Avenged Sevenfold.

Thrash or speed like Mercyful Fate, Judas Priest, Annihilator, Megadeth, you might want to check out power metal bands like Sonata Arctica, Angra, Blind Guardian.

3 inches of blood(vocalist sounds like Halford lol), Black Label Society, pantera, mushroomhead, mudvayne, Sepultura(you might qualify that as growling, i don't know), soilwork. You probably already listen to some of these, If you were asking for growling metal, i could of helped you out better.

Also, what are some similar bands to Muse?

If you like operatic metal, you may be interested in power metal. I'm sure there's plenty of people who'll tell you the best bands for that, but I'd recommend Dragonforce and Manowar to start with.

I really liked Elvenking (decided to check them out recently), the mix between metal & folk music is SOOOO beautiful! So I'd like to hear some more similar music. Give me tips of other nice folk metal bands. I've heard Finntroll & Cruachan already. Thanks!

Im going to buy another rush album, can anyone reccomened a good one?

( i already have rush, fly by night, 2112, moving pictures, and rush in rio)

[Ensameheten]

Thanks stoic and txus even though i already knew about moonsorrow.

I have another question, Now normally i would be against trying to "convert" people to listen to my kind of music, but desperate times call for desperate measures: i'm sick to death of being the only person i know who listens to metal. can anybody think of some good bands/albums/songs that non-metalheads might enjoy, and could potentially lead them down the path towards metaldom? especially for people who listen green day, and that kinda stuff...

[Txus]

Well man first I guess you'd have to begin with rock stuff (like Evanescence)
the next step would be giving them some gothic metal (Within Temptation, Sentenced....... they won't notice the difference) then give it a little harder style (like Nightwish, Iced Earth, Blind Guardian) then give them some HEAVY ****ING METAL (Iron Maiden, Manowar, Judas Priest) then start with the growl vocals, best choice would be some melodic death metal (Children Of Bodom, In Flames, Norther, Kalmah, Wintersun and even Opeth) at this point some symphonic/black metal could help in making raw black metal sound more comfortable (Dimmu Borgir, Cradle Of Filth)Then start with the Black side of metal (Immortal, Emperor, Darkthrone).

Then you'll have metalheads who listen to metal more than you, Good Luck man.

[GenuineImitation]

Try some less extreme stuff first. I got my sister into metal by doing the following:

I got her into AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath by playing it a lot whenever she was around.

I then started playing Metallica, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.

I then I began to play Helloween, Dream Theater and Symphony X.

I then tried some Melo-Death, but she didn't like the vocals. Start lighter and then get progressively heavier. My sister seems to like power metal now. Also point out that all metal bands are not devil worshipers who are homicidal/suicidal. Point out the level of musicianship that many bands have.

Just remember that metal isn't for everyone and that being too pushy could turn them off.


EDIT: Beaten because of two finger typing. Damn my own two hands!

[Stoic]

...and always pick the catchiest songs :thumb:

[Sph]

I'd also recommend keeping them away from anything overly technical at first. Stuff like that needs to grow on some people.

Before I started listening to metal I was really put off by bands like Death, early Metallica and Megadeth. Now they're some of my favourites.

[Shattered_Future]

Start with Opeth's Damnation, and work your way from there. :)

Opera metal, in Nightwish fashion:
The Gathering
Epica
Tristiania (although they are a bit more focused on growled male vocals)
Kamelot (male fronted)
Rhapsody (male fronted)
Angra (male fronted)

That should be a good start.

[Porcupine_F*cker]

Carcass: Necroticism- Descanting the Insalubrious, and Heartwork.
Arguably maybe two of the 20 best metal albums of all time.

[gillygan]

i want to get into these artists: Derek trucks, Albert King, Isis, Public Enemy,Suicidal Tendencies, King Diamond, The Roots, John Mayer Trio, Al di Meaola, Rush, Charlie Hunter, Stratovarius, Finntroll, Jeff beck, Radiohead, Joy division, and The Violent Femmes. Wich albums should i get for starting of on those artists?


I know a lot arent rock, but im not sure were else to put it. And wich ones are awsomley awsome? i wanna know wich ones to get first.


Thanks :chug:

[Shattered_Future]

Rush = 2112 or Counterparts I find are the best
King Diamond = Abigail
Finntroll = Nattfodd
Stratovarius - Elements Part 1

[Drunken Viking]

I'm looking for any bands that are along the lines of the new Avenged Sevenfold, City Of Evil Avenged Sevenfold.
So yeah...

[Shattered_Future]

You could go with power metal, or even some hair metal as well. :thumb:

Hair metal I'm not at all familiar with, but power metal, on the other hand:

Sonata Arctica
Dungeon
Edguy
Sabaton
Dream Evil

Those are all good places to start.

[Drunken Viking]

I've tried some power metal, are any of those bands like Hammerfall, because they don't appeal so much to me. And also, I'm looking for a band without synthesisers or keyboards like Sonata Arctica. I guess another way of saying what I'm looking for is... Dual guitars, mostly harmonized with solo's in most of the songs, and leads throughout, also not exactly a rythym and lead player, but more dual lead guitars like Iron Maiden. Some decent muscianship with the drums and bass would be good, and the bass should be audible. The vocals are mostly sung, some screaming is acceptable but not to much. And with that the vocals could be somewhat naisly, I liked M. Shadows voice on the new album from A7X (as you can see from my avator). Lyricaly, not bland and unoriginal stuff, I'd prefer some original stuff. E.g. if the band was power metal band then the lyrics main focus wouldn't be science fiction, or fantasy.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Try Forbidden. They're a thrash band frmo the Bay Area, but they have a melodic vocalist. Get the first album, Forbidden Evil.

Also try Heathen, who are also a thrash band similar in style to Forbidden. You can download all their albums from their website. http://www.heathenmetal.com

[heavy metal kid]

i want to get into these artists: Derek trucks, Public Enemy,Suicidal Tendencies, King Diamond, The Roots, Rush, Stratovarius, Radiohead, Joy division.
Thanks :chug:

Public Enemy: "It takes a Million to hold us Back"
Suicidal Tendencies: "Suicidal Tendencies" or "How Will i laugh tomorrow when I Can't even smile today"

King Diamond: "Abigail" or "Them"
The Roots: "Things Fall Appart"

Rush:"2112" or "Moving Pictures"
Stratovarius: "The Chosen Ones"
Radiohead: "The Bends" or " OK Computer"
Joy Division:" Substance"

[Bartender]

My personal reccomendation would be that you just avoid Stratovarius. Go for Sonata Arctica instead, if you don't know them yet.

For King Diamond, Abigail, I think. To my shame, I haven't yet heard Blow By Blow, but I can quite heartily recommend You Had It Coming and Guitar Shop alongside it. And I'll just second OK Computer and It Takes a Nation of Millions..

Soilwork isnt nu-metal. They are Gothenburg metal which is a form of melodic death metal.

[Sleeper]

Could someone recommend me some good Post Rock, thanks.

[gillygan]

Can someone tell me what post rock, and post hardcore, and post etc etc is?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I searched, and this is a good definition that Permanent Solution gave:

Post is what happens when you take influences from one genre, but take it somewhere relatively far from where it started, so that it's clearly not said genre, but the influence is still clear.

here is the thread its from http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=410167&highlight=post+rock

[Bartender]

^It's like a progression of the style, basically, but without necessarily using qualities that would get them called prog rock. So post punk is punk that doesn't sound like what you would just call, "punk". A well known (I think) quote about post rock seems to be "using rock instrumentation to create non-rock-like music", or something to that effect.

EDIT: typed that before Malaclypse there posted.

Can someone recommend me other bands in the line of Circle Takes The Square?

Possibly Hot Cross. They don't have the long, spacey rock bits, though. City of Caterpillar and A Day in Black And White do, but I don't like them all that much.

Is this, you like post rock and want some new stuff, or you want to check out post rock?

[Sleeper]

I would like to check out post rock.

[Shattered_Future]

I know little about post rock, but I believe you can't go wrong with Explosions In The Sky and Red Sparowes. Possibly Sigur Ros as well.

[Bartender]

Yeah, them, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Slint, seem to be the most commonly recommended post rock bands. If you want more in-depth recommendations, I think you'd be better off going to Alt/Indie (specifically, a guy there called Wanker), since they generally talk about post rock more, and know more about it.

Examples of what I really like (for those who have heard them):
Aiden - The Last Sunrise (Dust Mix) (Just this version though, I don't mean the original song)
Marilyn Manson - This Is The New Sh*t
Rammstein - Du Haust
Rob Zombie - Reload
A Perfect Circle - Judith (Renholder Mix)

And I generally like a lot of Marilyn Manson and some MSI stuff.
So please, throw some more of it in my direction!

[Bartender]

Not solely, but yeah.

[Stoic]

What exactly is trip hop (I dont recognize any of the bands listed)? :confused:

[Bartender]

It's music which basically grew out of a tiny little sample (as in DJs sampling records) culture in Bristol. The name comes about because a lot of the music (as opposed to the vocals) bears a passing resemblance to hip-hop, only cooler, downtempo and more soulful. Or 'trippy'. As a result it bears practically no resemblance to metal.. but you might like it. All kinds of people do. There don't seem to be pre-requisite likings, to liking trip hop.

Key albums if you do want to check it out are Massive Attack - Mezzanine (if nothing else, the song "Teardrop"), and DJ Shadow - Endtroducing.., which together effectively killed trip hop as it was being born, by being so perfect that no one really felt they could be topped.

Try Into Eternity and Symphony X if you haven't already.

[Bartender]

What do you think of it?

If you've had time to listen to it yet, that is, in between visting your magical CD store of wonderment and losing your keys and such :)

[Txus]

I got Mezzanine for free, and original :D

[NicetoKnowyou]

Whats a good symphony X cd to start out with?


Do they sound like Dream Theater at all? Also, does there singer "sing" or scream/growl.? ( I hate Screaming)

He sings.

Try "The Divine Wings Of Tragedy", that's what got me into them.

Get Devine Wings of Tragedy or The Odyssey. IF you like DT, you will like Symphony X. The singers sings and really well I may add. There is also a large Symphony X thread that you may want to check out while your at it.

Ok Thanks

[Dude3]

Is the new ep from Bring Me The Horizon any good, and worth getting?

[Shadows Rise]

Can anyone recommend me some music in the style of Between the buried and me. If you have listened to their newest album Alaska, in a lot of their songs the guitarwork is very powerful, for example, the intro to the song "Alaska". And the chorus in "All bodies" when the singer says "We are just mortal souls, left to die" then the guitarist goes into an arpeggio type riff.

Could someone recommend me some metal/metalcore bands with more of those kinds of riffs? Thanks.

[Txus]

Try some of:
The Dillinger Escape Plan
Martyr AD
The Red Chord
Darkest Hour
Ion Dissonance
Glass Casket

[laba]

Can anyone recommend me a nice list of some good bands that are similar to the likes of Audioslave and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers?

Also, what are the best "Muse" songs? I've only heard a few and I love them. (Stockholm Syndrome, Sing For Absolution, Butterflies and Hurricanes).

Last request now... can anyone point me in the right direction of the best drumming in Rock/Hard Rock. Name a few bands that the drumming is clearly a standout, but not too advanced like Rush.

Thanks.

Sometimes by the name of earthtone9, or ET9, if you go looking for things by them.

Im looking for some more classic rock, prog rock and alternative rock. Please dont say bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Tool or any other big name band. Im looking for some stuff you wont hear on the radio. Thanks in advance.

Classic rock is just about the most general derivative of rock, so a bit more info on what you like might narrow things down. As it stands, try the James Gang, Free, Bad Company, The Yardbirds, The Animals, The Travelling Wilburys, Mott The Hoople, Hanoi Rocks, Jeff Beck

True. I guess I should have asked a less general question. Beck and The Yardbirds are great, but I'll check out the other bands. Thanks for the help.

[Sleeper]

Dillinger Escape Plan, they are grindcore right, I heard they were Math core which is a sub-genre of grindcore.

try Anathema, Katatonia, Violetine, Rocket Science and Powderfinger's album Double Allergic.


Question time: Are there any black metal songs that are melodic and have at least some half-decent production, while not being too extreme? Arcturus - Radical Cut is the song I heard that triggered my interest.

How about Dissection's Where Dead Angels Lie?

Borknagar and Solefald spring to mind.
You might want to check out Anorexia Nervosa and maybe even some Trails Of Anguish :)

Try anything off Dissection's Storm Of The Light's Bane. Night's Blood is my favourite.

Also try Mother North by Satyricon.

[Ensameheten]

I need 1 band that sounds a lot like Symphony X, notice that I only need 1 band because it´s for a school project....I don´t really want to explain it but i only need 1 band.
