The R&M Recommendations Thread

[Txus]

Adagio would do it for you.

[Huber]

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.

Some Dream Theater could be compared to Symphony X

As Txus said, Adagio will suffice, but also look for Kiuas.

[Insomnia]

Slayer
Anthrax

fairly unknown but I think Euroforce would do.

Can any one recommend me some In Flames ? I want to check them out.

Thanks in advance.

Well for In Flames check out their Whoracle and Colony era.....I don´t think you would like their new stuff that much but if you want to give it a shot then try Soundtrack To Your Escape which i wouldn´t really recommend.

Why do you think I wouldnt like it ?

Sorry, but can you name just a few good songs from the Whoracle and Colony era ?

Because well at least for me it´s pretty generic and boring nu metal....but check it out also.

For the Whoracle and Colony era check out:
Moonshield
December Flower
Jotun
Zombie Inc
Dialogue With The Stars
Episode 666
The Jester's Dance
Swim
Satellites And Astronauts
Pinball Map

[Stormrider]

Ok, Thanks Txus.

[blueyxd]

Thanks for the last page suggestoins, I'll be checking out Dissection first.

[Whale and Wasp]

well i am a big fan of opeth but they are the only death metal band that i like so far and i am interested in hearing more music like them, so what would be some good specific songs/albums/bands to check out?

[Deth]

Death is probably the best band to start on. Symbolic, Individual Thought Patterns or The Sound Of Perseverance I would recommend as first albums from them.

Also, Bloodbath is a good one to start on, and the first album has Mikeal on it so you'll be used to the vocals already.

[Txus]

Also if you want to check out a band similar to Opeth, check out Novembre and The Provenance.

[Shattered_Future]

Add to that list, Katatonia's album Brave Murder Day (Akefeldt did guest vocals on certain parts...older, Morningriseish style) and Novembers Doom.

[Whale and Wasp]

alright thanks, ive actually heard a few death songs before before, and i will check out bloodbath, novembre, and the provenence :)

i've also heard dark tranquility mentioned a lot with opeth. are they worth hearing too?

[Shattered_Future]

I've never heard of Dark Tranquillity being mentioned alongside Opeth (aside from the fact that they're touring together), but Dark Tranquillity is the single greatest Gothenburg metal band ever. Get Character, one of the best albums I've ever heard. You won't regret it.

[Deth]

Dark Tranquillity is the single greatest Gothenburg metal band ever.
Quoted for 100% truth.

[gillygan]

The only Dark Tranquility ive heard is "lost to apathy" and its freaking amazing. On the subject, can anyone recommend me some gothenburg bands?

definitely NOT death metal. You may like Farmakon and Disillusion as well.

[Freezing Moon]

A lot of that is gothenburg though.

If you're looking for less harsh stuff, gothenburg is probably your best bet, however.

If you don't care about harshness, a couple of my favorite melodic death bands (I'm really picky about it) are:

Carcass
Intestine Baalism
Eucharist
Autumn Leaves

[Apocalyptic Raids]

My favourite Melodic Death band is Arghoslent by far. Eucharist and Intestine Baalism are good too.

[Stoic]

Arsis would do as well :)

you made some mistakes... some bands are gothenburg, some others have nothing in common with melodic death (like opeth and sentenced)

... about the others i'm not sure; i don't know all the bands you listed up

[Stoic]

Amon Amarth (Good Melodic Death with Epic feeling)
Arch Enemy (Gothenburg Metal)
At The Gates (Good Gothenburg)
Atrocity (band that changes its style all the time)
Beyond Shadows
Callenish Circle
Carcass (Good Melodic death)
Ceremonial Oath (old Gothenburg)
Dark Tranquillity (Good Gothenburg metal)
Darkane (isn't it Thrash/Death metal?! I would say neo-thrash that reminds me of gothenburg)
Dimension Zero (same as above)
Edge of Sanity (Melodc Death)
Entombed
Eternal Tears of Sorrow
Exhalted
Hypocrisy (Death metal, you could say they're melodic though)
In Flames (Gothenburg Metal, later works give a bad name to the scene)
Insomnium
Kalmah (sound like CoB)
Mercenary
Mors Principium Est
Nightrage (Gothenburg Metal)
Norther (sound like CoB)
Noumena
Omnium Gatherum
Opeth (progressive death metal, I would say extreme progressive metal)
Sentenced (gothic metal)
Soilwork (Gothenburg Metal)
SuidAkrA (Folk Death Metal?)
Unanimated

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I'm ****ing sick of people treating Gothenburg as seperate to Melodic Death.

It's like treating Bay-Area thrash as something different to Thrash, when it shouldn't be.

I treat gothenburg as being a form of melodic death metal and I dont see anything wrong with it :confused:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah that's ok, but I get annoyed when people call it 'Gothenburg Metal'. I would rather people just called it all Melodic Death though, since it seems some people just so that other people don't associate In Flames and the like with their precious "real" melodic death.

I still <3 you though orestes :P

[Bartender]

It's a handy little distinction, but that's about it.

Anyway, Arghoslent all the way.

So I am looking for some more power metal that isn't really cheesy.

So far the stuff I have liked the most is either really close to speed metal, like Jag Panzer, or is really epic without being extremely cheesy like Blind Guardian.

I can't stand some of the newer Power Metal stuff that is an absolute cheese-fest.

Suggestions?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Dungeon. I think I've mentioned them to you before. All their albums are good, though I like A Rise To Power most.

You could also try Demons & Wizards. It has Hansi's awesome vocals, but with nice thrashy riffage. Get the self-titled, the second album isn't nearly as good.

It's like, I think, a bit of a clash of thrash/death/black metal, which for some reason has ended up being identified as Australian and Canadian War Metal. I'm pretty sure Deströyer 666 (Australian) and Axis of Advance (Canadian) are counted amongst the bands identified so, so you could check them out. Deströyer 666 in particular are quite enjoyable.

Don't take any of what I said as gospel, though. Ideally, you should ask Terminal Spirit.

Ahh ok. Thanks. I already listen to Deströyer 666, and was content with labelling them as Thrash. I'll give Axis of Advance a listen tomorrow some time.

Who's Terminal Spirit?

[Bartender]

An '02 member, who pretty much lived in and around the death heads thread. He was in Canada, and was really knowledgeable, so pretty much anything to do with Canadian metal (and a lot outside of Canada) he could tell you about. He got himself a life though and doesn't come here any more.

what you need is:

CAGE

[Pete]

It can be either just really technical death, like Necrophagist, or the more grindy, mathy stuff like Ion Dissonance. As long as it blows me away on an instrumental level :)

[Arucard]

ADFD by Arsis is technical as hell, although its actually melodic death. As far as tech death goes, check out some Beneath The Massacre, that is very brutal and very technical.

Necrophagist like: Beneath the Massacre, Domination Through Impurity, Gorod, Severed Savior, Gorgasm, Visceral Bleeding

Not quite as fast as Dragonforce, but fun nonetheless.

[Stoic]

Can anyone recommend me some insanely technical/wanking yet extremely fun sounding power metal? Think Dragonforce. I could really use something in that vein.

Latest Angra (get Temple of Hate song) and early Helloween (get Ride the Sky song) come to my mind although I wouldnt exactly describe them as wankery. Still technical enough I think.

Neo-Classical + Power Metal

Requiem (Fin) might work although I doubt you'll find anything by them.

Thanks!

You're welcome :)

Zero Hour, maybe. Not insanely technical, not so fast either, but it's fun to play once you work out the multitudes of time sigs and riffs.

Also, (maybe there isn't) are there any prog or power bands that have good music but are suitable for lactose intolerant people (ie. NOT TOO CHEESY). eg I find Ayreon - Human Equation lyrics extremely cheesy, but Zero Hour - Towers Of Avarice is fine.

[paranoid923]

It can be either just really technical death, like Necrophagist, or the more grindy, mathy stuff like Ion Dissonance. As long as it blows me away on an instrumental level :)
For the more grindy stuff check out !T.O.O.H! (I hope I spelled that right). Also try Martyr and Sleep Terror.

[Cocaine]

Requiem (Fin) might work although I doubt you'll find anything by them.
No, I wasnt asking for Neo-Classical + PM, I was saying that's what the band I recommended to him plays.

[Arucard]

Crowpath are pretty good for the more technical side of American Metal too.

[Stoic]

No, I wasnt asking for Neo-Classical + PM, I was saying that's what the band I recommended to him plays.

Yes I know so I mentioned another neo classical power band :p

Crowpath are pretty good for the more technical side of American Metal too.

Yes! Into the Moat could work as well.

For the more grindy stuff check out !T.O.O.H! (I hope I spelled that right). Also try Martyr and Sleep Terror.

Great bands. Especially !TOOH! couldnt have been more insane.

[Shadows]

Requiem (Fin) might work although I doubt you'll find anything by them.
Isn't that Norther before they changed their name to Norther?

Thanks for the power metal suggestions, getting Zero Hour and Angra now. :)

[Stoic]

Isn't that Norther before they changed their name to Norther?

I dont think so...

[Arucard]

Stoic, was it you that disliked Disillusion but had their album?

They are pretty technical.

Could someone recommend me some lesser known melodeath/Gothenburg style metal? I've heard most of the big ones, and I wanna find some new bands.

Eucharist in addition to what Stoic said.

[Pete]

I've heard Nightrage, but the other two I will check out. Thanks a lot, both of you.

[Stoic]

Oh and I think Beyond the Embrace would do as well :)

[HazMan]

Anybody know any bands that have Gwar style ridiculousness?

[Sleeper]

Haunted Garage, and Green Jelly.

[Shattered_Future]

Strapping Young Lad has some ridiculous lyrics on occasion...

[Deth]

But not a gimmick band like what he's looking for.

I guess Anal Cunt would be one.

Arghoslent. Unless you've heard them already.

[MetalOz]

I like Children of Bodom, Norther, Kalmah, but I could do without the harsh vocals. I prefer clean vocals. Any recommendations of bands musically like these but with clean vocals? I do have a few Sinergy albums with Alexi and clean vocals and they are prett good but not as complex as COB...

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I can't really think of anything actually...

So I will just do what I always do when someone wants Power Metal and recommend Dungeon.

:-D

Can anyoen recommend me just a few Death Metal bands along the lines of Nile or Death ?

Thanks in advance.

NP Death - Overactive Imagination

[Stoic]

Can anyoen recommend me just a few Death Metal bands along the lines of Nile or Death ?

Thanks in advance.


For Nile the common recommendation is Behemoth

Some bands similar to Death: Atheist, Gory Blister, Gorguts, Led Astray and Never (two fairly unknown bands but very close to death), Criterion (Death meets Immolation)

[Poofy 666]

Can anyoen recommend me just a few Death Metal bands along the lines of Nile or Death ?

NP Death - Overactive Imagination
Try Kronos for Nile like stuff. Its like Nile except with Greek Mythology.

I second Gory Blister and also try some Martyr (Canada) or Coprofago

[Stoic]

damn how could I forget Kronos! Incredible band, only I would recommend them as similar to Death as well.

[Stormrider]

Thanks Stoic and Poofy. I had already checked out Behemoth. I remeber not liking the vocals..I'll give it another try though.

NP Nevermore - Narcosynthesis

[gillygan]

Im sure you have some Nevermore.... If you dont they are an awsome metal band with clean vocals. They dont really sound like any of the bands you mentioned though.

[CaptainWaits]

Do any of you know any "Surfur" type songs/bands?? If you've ever watched Pulp Fiction, the music playing, when John Travolta is driving to Mia's house while shooting up heroine, is what I am asking for...

[bushey37]

what is dokken's best album?

[10th man down]

Which Pagan's Mind album is better, Celestial Entrance or Enigmatic : Calling?

I've heard four songs off Celestial Entrance and I love them, but how is Enigmatic : Calling.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

For Nile the common recommendation is Behemoth
Later Behemoth especially.

Some bands similar to Death: Atheist, Gory Blister, Gorguts, Led Astray and Never (two fairly unknown bands but very close to death), Criterion (Death meets Immolation)
Also try Pestilence. They are extremely awesome.

[MetalOz]

Under Lock and Key and Back for the Attack are the ones I like most...

Get At The Soundless Dawn. Excellent stuff. I love the song titles as well.

[BlackRoseImmortal915]

I know someone has probably already asked this question..but I can't find it in here...does anyone know of any bands like Opeth or Cephalic Carnage?

[Bartender]

The two suggestions you'll probably find a lot in relation for Opeth around here would be Agalloch and Farmakon. Agalloch closer to a slower, melancholy Opeth, and Farmakon closer to a faster, heavier, melodic death Opeth.

[Stoic]

Cephalic Carnage: Psy0pus, Into the Moat, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Ion Dissonance

[BlackRoseImmortal915]

thanks to both of you. :thumb:

[Txus]

I would add to Bartender´s post this other band that sounds alot like Opeth, they´re called Novembre.

[BlackRoseImmortal915]

Alright cool, i'll have to check them out. thanks:)

[Nepenthe]

I'm looking for anything along the lines of Ulver's Kveldssanger. I am absolutely in love with this cd and am interested in hearing other Nordic sounding cd's. Preferably acoustic (pretty sure that's all there is in this field but just in case).

[Shattered_Future]

I know someone has probably already asked this question..but I can't find it in here...does anyone know of any bands like Opeth or Cephalic Carnage?

Novembers Doom as well. Very Opeth-styled.

Pagan's Mind albums...I think they're better for different things. Enigmatic Calling has less irritating vocals, while Celestial Entrance has better music.

[Invicta_Veritas]

I fell upon November's Doom by accident. Very good stuff.

Anyway, does anybody know of a band that is kind of like Six Feet under and Cannibal Corpse (sludgy stuff) but with slightly more intelligent lyrics and a little it more melody to them?

[Shattered_Future]

Neither of those bands are sludge, but you might do well to go with Autumn Leaves.

[Stoic]

Would someone care to recommend me an album by The Doors? I've gotten into The End lately, after watching Apocalypse Now and I'm curious to hear some more of their stuff.

[Bartender]

I got my sister The Doors and LA Woman for her birthday, and from what I heard they're both pretty good. I'd probably go for the self-titled if I decided I wanted something for myself.

[Sleeper]

Could anyone please recommend me some albums by Dark Tranquillity, I've only heard a couple of songs and i'm starting to get into them. If anyone could

[Txus]

Could anyone please recommend me some Dark Tranquillity, i've only heard a couple of songs and i'm starting to get into them. If anyone could

For Dark Tranquillity check out the following songs:
Punish My Haven
Mind Matters
The One Brooding Warning
Monochromatic Stains
White Noise Black Silence
....Of Melancholy Burning
((Really every DT song is amazing so you cant go wrong)) :thumb:

Good Melodic Death Metal Bands:
Old In Flames
Quo Vadis
Amon Amarth
Eternal Tears Of Sorrow
Kalmah
Suidakra
Edge Of Sanity
Darkane
Norther
Fragments Of Unbecoming
Arsis

Those are the only ones I can think at the moment.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

recommend me any other Melodic Death Metal, that would help me.
Arghoslent
Eucharist
Necrophobic

[Shattered_Future]

Kalmah and Norther aren't really Melodic Death Metal...they're more harsh power metal than anything. Good groups though.

For DT albums, start with Character. I wrote a review of it, if you want to check it out...absolutely stunning album.

Songs (in addition to the ones Txus mentioned):
The New Build
Lost To Apathy
The Endless Feed
Dry Run
My Negation
Final Resistance
Hours Passed In Exile
The Wonders At Your Feet
Haven
The Sun Fired Blanks
The Treason Wall
Hedon

That should be good to get you started.

Bands (again, in addition):
Autumn Leaves
Arch Enemy

[Sleeper]

Thank you guys, really.

[10th man down]

Hey, can you guys recomend me an album by the following bands. I've heard these bands on Limewire.

Stratovarious
Dark Moor
Helloween


If there are any other bands with similar styles you think I should check out, please say so. :)

[Shattered_Future]

Stratovarius = Elements Part 1
Helloween = Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part 1, or Part 2.

Stratovarius = Sonata Arctica you might like. I don't know why they're compared so much (personally, I think Stratovarius can't touch Sonata) but they play similar styled music, I guess.

Yeah, I've only heard a couple of Stratovarious songs. I see a little resemblance. I going to an all-metal CD shop next week so I want to know which albums to get.

[robo2448]

Would someone care to recommend me an album by The Doors? I've gotten into The End lately, after watching Apocalypse Now and I'm curious to hear some more of their stuff.

Definitely get their s/t debut first. That's their most essential album, their most popular, and is amazing even if it's not their best imo. It also has their most popular songs (The End, Light My Fire, and Break on Through) so it's a great introduction. But even if you don't like that, don't discount the Doors. Their first couple albums are heavily psychedelic but by the end of their career, their albums were pure blues-rock. I know some people who only like the early days and some people who only like the later days, so I'd give both a try. But the debut is definitely the best way to start. If you're looking for more, get Strange Days after their debut. It has a very similar sound and is just as good.

I´ll add to Shattered_Future list the following bands : Spastic Ink, O.S.I., Spiral Architect, Alarum, Pestilence and Aghora.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

About Pestilence, if you're looking for techy stuff make sure you get the later material, particularly Spheres. The earlier albums are awesome, but not what you're looking for.

[Captain Quentin]

can anyone reccommend any melodic death bands similar to in flames?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

For something slightly different (and better, IMO), try:

[Riva]

Autumn Leaves are another good one.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Heartwork-era Carcass is another good one too.

I think I heard one of my friends say that their singer damaged his vocal chords screaming, so he doesn't do it as much anymore. It might have been a different singer (different band of course), not sure. But if it is the right guy, I prefer the not screaming music. Thanks everyone.

[Lookin' for a reply from Bartender] What's the best Aereogramme record?

[Bartender]

I only have A Story in White, though I can wholeheartedly recommend that. I keep meaning to pick up Sleep and Release and Seclusion (especially Seclusion), but I never seem to get around to it.

Seclusion's a mini-album/EP, I think, and I know Nacho at least really likes it.

[3rdplanet]

Yah I have 'A Story in White' and it is utter pr0nage, I think it was uploaded by yourself in one of the old YSI threads. I wanted to get a different record of theirs but 'Seclusion' is like £9.99 and it doesn't have that much material on...hum, maybe I shoulda bought it anyway.

Ah well, may pick just pick a CD of theirs up at random.

[Bartender]

£8.99 on Amazon at the moment, but I'm sure I've seen it cheaper - Amazon's prices fluctuate quite a lot. Keep an eye on it, I suppose.

Thanks for reminding me about them, anyway.

[superflyjojo]

Can someone recommend me some symphony X, I own DWOT but I don't know where to go from there.

[3rdplanet]

£8.99 on Amazon at the moment, but I'm sure I've seen it cheaper - Amazon's prices fluctuate quite a lot. Keep an eye on it, I suppose.

Thanks for reminding me about them, anyway.

But then they bum you with delivery costs.

Do you like Oceansize? I thought I would recommend them after Amazon did a 'If you like A, you'll like B' on me. They use some really angular riffs, 'A Homage to Shame' would be a good tune to check out.

Bit of an odd way to use this thread, offer a recommendation without being asked first :amaze: .

[Bartender]

True, but if you can bump the total price of the order over £15, you can choose a free delivery option.

I've not heard Oceansize, but I've also had them recommended to me (Effloresce, I think). Just never paid attention so far. I'll see if I can get a soundclip of that song on Amazon.

[3rdplanet]

I have no trouble bumping an order about £15, it's the paying for it I can't do :p .

I would send that track to you but my PC had to be formatted and all my music was lost; if I buy the record (may go to HMV tomorrow), I can send some stuff then.

[repcak]

hm... try Wishbone Ash - Time Was, its a great rock album and i even think you can call them progressive. the album is old.. (80s?) but its one of my favourites... great music!!

A Perfect Circle - 13th step... progressive and sad/ a little depressive

[GenuineImitation]

I'll try the Wishbone Ash. APC is ok, but I never really considered them prog before.

[Bartender]

some Emo bands. Not bands like MCR or The Used, but actual Emo bands.

My emonaemic recommendations;

Moss Icon
Gospel
Saetia
Circle Takes the Square
Hot Cross
Rites of Spring

Red Sparowes...the best choice.

Sludge?
