The R&M Recommendations Thread

[Mother]

Thanks

[Arise II]

Masters of Reality
Fu Manchu
Electic Wizard
Nebula
Orange Goblin

Those are the basics.

Also worth checking out:

Karma To Burn
Church Of Misery
Acrimony
Alabama Thunderpussy
Devil To Pay
Hognose

Out of those, Devil To Pay and Karma To Burna re most Kyuss-like

[Bartender]

I used to have a song hanging around by Karma to Burn. Got it off a demo/sample disc thing, I think. Wonder where it went.

[Cocaine]

I'm looking for some Folk-Metal. I've recently gotten into Skyclad (Folkemon) and Korpiklaani (Spirit of the Forest), so any suggestions are appreciated. They can be more folk or more metal based, so there's no real grounds to go on.

[the2stranger]

^
Arkona!

[Cocaine]

^
Arkona!
Alright.

Any other takers?

[the2stranger]

Finntroll is pretty obvious.
Maybe some Wintersun?
Vintersorg too, but I'm sure you know him.
Suidakra is good too.

[Txus]

Try some:
Cruachan
Turisas
Moonsorrow
Einherjer
Falkenbach
Equilibrium

[Cocaine]

Alright, that should keep me occupied, thanks guys.

[Stormrider]

Elvenking !

[Cocaine]

Try some:
Turisas

I just grabbed a couple tracks off of Battle Metal and I am DAMNED impressed, thanks a lot.

Finntroll is pretty obvious.

Vintersorg too, but I'm sure you know him.
Suidakra is good too.
Yeah, I've got a fair amount of Finntroll and Vintersorg. I'm not crazy about Wintersun, but I'll check out Suidakra.
Elvenking !
I bought the Winter Wake not long ago, fantaaastic album.

thanks dudes !!!!

[fuzzyhair]

I was told to post this here

I have started to grow sick of music that lacks great instrumental skill. For the past few days I have been listening to Dream Theater mostly. They are one of my favorite bands. I really enjoy almost all of their work. So judging by the fact that I like progressive music (rock and classical mostly) and all. Please recommend me some bands that would fit into my likings. I am listening to Dragonforce right now and giving them a shot. Oh and I prefer music that has lyrics, but I also appreciate a good instrumental now and then. Any musical suggestions are appreciated.

[dUSK]

If you haven't already investigated Symphony X, do it now. Otherwise, I don't have much else to recommend you that will excite you, judging by what you have already said.

How do you feel about harsh vocals? Some good Tech Death might take you fancy if your into that kind of thing.

[Txus]

Hmmm...let's see. Try some:
Planet X
Andromeda
Bozzio Levin Stevens
Pain Of Salvation
Gordian Knot (Instrumental)

I did last night and I like them a lot. Great band.

Harsh vocals are okay, but I prefer clean. I listened to some Opeth last night and they sound like they take some listening to actually like. I'm sure they will grow on me.

Hmmm...let's see. Try some:
Planet X
Andromeda
Bozzio Levin Stevens
Pain Of Salvation
Gordian Knot (Instrumental)


Okay I will look 'em up on myspace tonight.

[Mazeppa]

Can anybody recommend any bands similar to Ephel Duath or Atheist? I really like the jazzy and progressive elements.

[ArcLite]

Cynic is similar, but I prefer Athiest.

[Txus]

Can anybody recommend any bands similar to Ephel Duath or Atheist? I really like the jazzy and progressive elements.
Cynic
Pestilence

The only one's I can think of at the moment.

[Cocaine]

Can anybody recommend any bands similar to Ephel Duath or Atheist? I really like the jazzy and progressive elements.
Alarum is the next best bet.

Coprofago are like a mix of Meshuggah and Atheist, but their name is pretty silly. You could also try out Yakuza; they're a Hardcore/Metalcore group with free-jazz sax parts. Miles Daviscore, I guess you could call it, hah.

[munky_magik]

Can anybody recommend any bands similar to Ephel Duath or Atheist? I really like the jazzy and progressive elements.
Try Canvas Solaris. They're instrumental though.

[Stoic]

^hey good to see you around again :)

Aghora and Sleep Terror would do as well.

Cheers guys, and Ali instrumental is no problem.

Orestes, I know Sleep Terror already but I'll try and check out Aghora.

[The Cynic]

Can anybody reccomend me some slow songs? Somewhat along the lines of Opeth's Damnation.

[superpeer]

Woohoo, me and my girlfriend caught a Therapy? drum stick, we had to fight like 5 minutes for it, though, there were people stuck on it. All in all a cool gig.

[Silenius]

Haha. :lol:



Therapy? fanboy. :p

(The avatar is pretty cool.)

[superpeer]

Whoops, wrong thread, haha.

[Riva]

Can anybody recommend any bands similar to Ephel Duath or Atheist? I really like the jazzy and progressive elements.

Try out the last two albums by Lux Occulta, Mother and the Enemy and My Guardian Anger.

[Silenius]

Yeah I was wondering that too... :p


As to slow songs, try some doom metal like Candlemass and Isole.

[Nepenthe]

Can anybody reccomend me some slow songs? Somewhat along the lines of Opeth's Damnation.

The only band that I can recommend that's anything like Opeth would be Woods Of Ypres. Though I'm not a huge Opeth fan, I will say not many bands sound at all like them. Even Woods is VERY different, but if you like Opeth you should like them.

[Sleepy]

Can anybody reccomend me some slow songs? Somewhat along the lines of Opeth's Damnation.

King Crimson's Discipline? I don't know, man. That's a tough album to emulate.

I have other recommendations that would be more along the lines of Opeth's other albums...and that is November's Doom and My Dying Bride.

[The Cynic]

I just want some soft slow songs. Kinda like Nickelbacks Hero or something. Just in the mood for those types of songs.

[Sleepy]

Slow?

Then you want more recent Katatonia, Anathema, Agalloch, November's Doom (slow but heavy), Pelican, and The Devin Townsend Band.

Devy is great when you need a break from typical metal.

[Shattered_Future]

Yea, but Devy's not acoustic in any sense of the word. Happy/uplifting, yes, but he's still mad heavy.

Slow soft songs? Even though she's not really like Opeth in any way, Tori Amos is always good for some great chill music.

[Txus]

I just want some soft slow songs. Kinda like Nickelbacks Hero or something. Just in the mood for those types of songs.
Try Pinapple Thief.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Tommy Lee's solo stuff is all pretty mid-tempo and mainstream rock-y. I'm not sure what relation it bears to Opeth though. Actually I'm not sure what Nickelback and Opeth have in common at all, even when they do acoustic numbers.

[Nepenthe]

(Time to throw out my obligatory folk/viking recommendations)

Try Ulver's Kveldssanger or Empyrium's Where At Night The Wood Grousse Plays. Both are completely acoustic, and soothing and beautiful as hell.

EDIT: Ack, wrong album :lol: It's corrected now.

[Bartender]

I just want some soft slow songs. Kinda like Nickelbacks Hero or something. Just in the mood for those types of songs.

Nerina Pallot - Damascus

/first thing I thought of

[Dave de Sylvia]

Is 'Hero' the Superman song?

[Sleepy]

Is 'Hero' the Superman song?

I thought it was Spiderman...:confused:

[Cocaine]

Yeah, it's spider man.

Go with Green Carnation's Acoustic Verses for the slow recommendation.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Yeah, that's the one. They're all Tobey Maguire anyway.

[Riva]

I thought the hero song involving superman was Five For Fighting - Superman (It's Not Easy).

[ACircuitShock]

I thought the hero song involving superman was Five For Fighting - Superman (It's Not Easy).
You are correct sir.

For soft accousitic stuff go for Opeth-Damnation or Pink Moon by Nick Drake.

[Cocaine]

His original suggestion was asking for things in the vein of Damnation...

Either way, I stand by my recommendation; Green Carnation - Acoustic Verses

[ACircuitShock]

Oops, didn't see that. Good suggestion BTW.

[Silenius]

Nerina Pallot - Damascus

/first thing I thought of
Don't see you a lot anymore in the R&M. :wave:



me = high_voltage_acdc since I don't think I've seen you post since my name change a few months ago.

[Riva]

You are correct sir.

For soft accousitic stuff go for Opeth-Damnation or Pink Moon by Nick Drake.

An album similar to Nick Drake's style is The Good Son by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

[Bartender]

Try Canvas Solaris. They're instrumental though.

Do you have their new one yet? I should be getting it soon, hoping it's worth it.


Don't see you a lot anymore in the R&M. :wave:

I'm actually here quite a bit, just not posting all that often :)

[wrathchild88]

What Mekong Delta album should I get first?
Assuming I can find it of course!

[Bartender]

I've been meaning to check out the self-titled for ages now, having heard it was good.

[munky_magik]

Do you have their new one yet? I should be getting it soon, hoping it's worth it.
I sort of have it in Mp3 form thanks to Neuro.
I've mostly forgotten that I have it though, so I'm not really sure if it's good.

[Freezing Moon]

Mekong Delta is cool progressive thrash type stuff. Both the self-titled and The Music of Erich Zann are great.

[Silenius]

I'm actually here quite a bit, just not posting all that often :)
Ah well, perhaps then it's me who doesnt post in the same threads as you or something.


Anyways, greatings, hadn't seen you forever. :)

[Riva]

Mekong Delta is cool progressive thrash type stuff. Both the self-titled and The Music of Erich Zann are great.

Progressive thrash sounds interesting.

[The Cynic]

What album is Tears In Heaven by Clapton on? The non-live version

[Dark_Hero]

Somebody reccommend me some good Fear Before The March Of Flames songs.

[Riva]

What album is Tears In Heaven by Clapton on? The non-live version

I believe it first appears on Unplugged.

[Dave de Sylvia]

It's from the soundtrack to Rush and was later recorded for Unplugged.

[Riva]

Go punch a sack of potatoes, Colonial.

Somebody reccommend me some good Fear Before The March Of Flames songs.

Never heard them, sorry, but apparently the first album is good.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Go punch a sack of aborigines, Colonial.

[Txus]

Somebody reccommend me some good Fear Before The March Of Flames songs.
Well I love this guys, try:

Should Have Stayed In The Shallows
Go Wash Your Mouth, I Don't Know Where It's Been
The Lisbon Girls, Oh The Lisbon Girls
Whiskey Is Alright In Its Place, But Its Place Is In Hell
Hey Kid. I'm A Computer. Stop All The Downloading
The 20th Century Was Entirely Mine

[The Cynic]

Can someone reccomend me some acoustic songs along the lines of Creed's Lullaby and Opeth's stuff?

[gmoneyguy]

Aren't you on the mailing list? Damnation was sent out not too long ago.

[FolkVikingFan]

Damnation is an amazing album

[Bartender]

That's probably why he's wanting similar recommendations?

[metalkingtiger]

Hey, sorry to revive this old thread but can any Overkill fans recommend me their best albums?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Go punch a sack of aborigines, Colonial.
:lol:

Hey, sorry to revive this old thread but can any Overkill fans recommend me their best albums?
Feel The Fire and The Years Of Decay are the best.

[Riva]

:lol:


Feel The Fire and The Years Of Decay are the best.

The Years Of Decay is the better of those two, in mine not so humble opinion.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I prefer Feel The Fire. I've never liked The Years Of Decay as much as everyone else seems to.

/runs from RCA

[Riva]

You'd better hightail away from Animosity, also.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

and ThrashMaster.

They can smell an even slightly negative comment on Overkill from a mile away

>_>

<_<

[Stoic]

Horrorscope is supposed to be their classic. How come you didnt mentioned it Jono boy?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I haven't heard that one

>_>

[MRDuCran]

Aight, here we go.

I have the complete Sonatica Arctica and Death discography, so what's a good album or some good songs by either of them??

Also, same for:
Wintersun
At the Gates
Arsis
In Flames.

Anything will be appreciated.

[Stoic]

uhh...why do you ask since you already have their discography? :confused:

[Scoot]

Aight, here we go.

I have the complete Sonatica Arctica and Death discography, so what's a good album or some good songs by either of them??

Also, same for:
Wintersun - Everything on their only album. It's all amazing.
At the Gates - Terminal Sprit Disease, Slaughter of the Soul
Arsis - Everything on their album and ep.
In Flames - Colony and The Jester Race

Anything will be appreciated.

There.

[Cocaine]

uhh...why do you ask since you already have their discography? :confused:
He might want to make a best of, or something?

[Bartender]

He should listen to them, then.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

uhh...why do you ask since you already have their discography? :confused:
It sounds like he downloaded a torrent of all their material.

:-\

[MRDuCran]

Yeah I did, but instead of listening to every song from every album one by one, I thought I'd ask here for a few good songs/albums.

Thanks Scoot.

[psuedopilot]

Hello everyone, I'm a huge fan of bands like dredg and a perfect circle and I would like to know of other bands out there with similar sounds. Thank you.

[AA-12]

Music = Art

[Cocaine]

Yeah, that question is kind of irrelevant. Check out "Clann Zu" though, they're less prentious and much more talented.

[psuedopilot]

i can think of no other way to describe dredg than artistic.

[GenuineImitation]

hello everyone i'm a huge fan of bands like dredg and a perfect circle and i would like to know of other bands with similar sounds out there. thank you.


Porcupine Tree may be the band for you.


EDIT:


My friend wants a good rock or metal song for graduation. He asked me to help, but I cant think of any. Can someone please help?

[Cocaine]

Hm...

You could try the R&M version of Canon in D, but that's pretty cliche I guess.

[Shattered_Future]

Going Away To College by Blink-182. :cool:

I'm not sure, actually...just try to pick something with that theme.

[GenuineImitation]

He wanted more of a hard rock or metal vibe. He's also graduating from 8th grade, not high school.

[Daven]

Maybe Blue by APC.

[Shattered_Future]

Walk This Way by Aerosmith. That should work rather well, no?

EDIT: Or maybe Are You Ready by Creed. I think both would work rather well with the situation...

[Txus]

Vitamin C - Graduation Song :p

[GenuineImitation]

Walk This Way by Aerosmith. That should work rather well, no?


Never thought of that as a graduation song...

[Shattered_Future]

Meh, it's got the line "Walk This Way!" in it. Nobody cares if it's about sex. :p

[randomthought9]

Recommend me some metal. I've been getting more into it, and I need more metal bands in my collection, more heavier stuff. Some metal bands I like are Pantera, Damageplan, Meshuggah, Soulfly. I'm open to pretty much anything, just not like black metal, seeing as I'm a Christian and all.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Exodus
old Sepultura
Obituary
Testament
Kreator
Sodom
Morbid Angel
Death

[Nepenthe]

Exodus
old Sepultura
Obituary
Testament
Kreator
Sodom
Morbid Angel
Death

+ Overkill and Dark Angel

[GenuineImitation]

Also add Symphony X, Nevermore, Dragonforce, Sonata Arctica, Children of Bodom, Dream Theater, Megadeth, Nightwish, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden to that list.

That's a little confusing; you're not interested in black metal because you're a Christian, but you've no problem with Slayer?

Bartender, where does he mention Slayer?

[Thor]

Can people give me some technical metal bands to check out? I already listen to:
Arsis
Necrophagist
Death
Cryptopsy

[Sleepy]

Gorod comes to mind.

[Shattered_Future]

Technical doesn't bring Arsis to mind...

Canvas Solaris
Gorguts
Cynic
Atheist
Aghora
Behold...The Arctopus

All should do good for you.

[randomthought9]

That's a little confusing; you're not interested in black metal because you're a Christian, but you've no problem with Slayer?

Haha, like I said, I keep an open mind. The only song I know by them is Raining Blood, and it's so cool, I just have to listen to it. I edited it out though, since if that's the only song I know by them, I'm not really a true fan.

I'm not like one of these crazy "metal is evil" types, I'll even listen to songs that question religion, like Eulogy by Tool. I just figured since a lot of black metal bands are against Christianity it would be tough for me to get into, you know? I just said black metal as an example. I even listened to some black metal bands that I hear talked about on mx, like Burzum, Immortal, etc. It's just that in metal, especially more extreme metal, that's what a lot of the bands think, and it would probably be tough for me to get into that stuff since it attacks my beliefs.

[Stoic]

Immortal dont have such lyrics if Im not mistaken.

[Scoot]

If anyone is into At The Gates or Dark Tranquility, Omnium Gatherum is a great band with similar properties.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCtKZcGUp18&search=omnium%20gatherum

If you're interested, maybe Black Sabbath.... although Black Sabbath doesn't class themselves as "metal", more hard rock. And you might like to check out Bruce Dickinson's solo work.

[rhcp pman]

Gorod comes to mind.
I find Gorod to be a pretty good band - I love the vocals too.

Aside from the tech/prog death metal bands that have been mentioned I also like Quo Vadis, Opeth and Akercocke.

[joe_fresh]

Can people give me some technical metal bands to check out? I already listen to:

Pavor

Psycroptic

Fair enough. Was just the inconsistency that bothered me.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It was.

It seems he edited Slayer out of his list. You can see him mention them in the post I quoted.

[psuedopilot]

who sounds like dredg if anyone?

[Sleepy]

I find Gorod to be a pretty good band - I love the vocals too.

Aside from the tech/prog death metal bands that have been mentioned I also like Quo Vadis, Opeth and Akercocke.

Add Novembre into that list and it's killer.

[Deth]

Try Porcupine Tree. It's more progressive and not exactly the same, but you should like them if you like Dredg.

[Cocaine]

who sounds like dredg if anyone?
Clann Zu and Porcupine Tree

They're both better, too.

I've been trying to get hold of some Demilich for ages, but I haven't managed to find any.

[Cocaine]

Their site has everything they've done for free.

http://www.anentity.com/demilich/download.php

[Shattered_Future]

Beneath The Massacre is horrible. Their songs have some crazy awesome technical elements in them, but the band needs to learn how to write better. They rely on C chords and breakdowns a bit too much...

[Cocaine]

I think they're amazing, but the breakdowns go on a bit too long.

Can someone recommend me an album by Demilich?

[Cocaine]

Nespithe, which is on the link I posted above.

Thats why I asked :D

[rhcp pman]

http://www.anentity.com/demilich/download.php
Awesome... Thank you so much. I've heard good things about Demilich, especially about the vocals.

I guess I couldn't find it on Bit Torrent because it was already being legally released for free :p.

EDIT: I'm just listening to the first song on Nespithe, and wow! Those vocals are pretty low. Can he pull that off naturally, or is he using a pitch shifter?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It sounds natural to me.

[Riva]

It's a nice, natural burp. And Demilich are bloody brilliant.

[Ve Das]

Antii does it naturally. BTW, last I heard was they´re touring again.

Anywho, to the metal recommendation wanter(random something):

Black Sabbath is metal.Not hard rock.Anybody who tries to tell you otherwise is lying.

further in that vein would be:

Orange Goblin
Electric Wizard
Krux
Cathedral(sometimes)

Other stuff would be:

Kreator
Overkill
Scorpians-Feel The Heat
Mago De Oz
Motörhead
Edguy
Believer
Gordian Knot
Dark Tranquility

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

Liked guitars and drums and everything with demilich, just can't stand those vocals, they're boring in my opinion.

[rhcp pman]

I think the gurgling vocals are good, but I do wish there was more variation in them because they get a bit repetitive.

I was just listening to Damage Done again today, some of the songs on there are brilliant.

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

I don't know if anyone has heard of that sikth band, but someone had a thread about them, I checked out their link. That music really tripped me out, the vocals weren't really anything special, but everything else was awesome. Actually kind of reminds me of Soilwork, come to think of it in kind of a weird way.

[AA-12]

I need some good stoner "metal"/sludge. Similiar to the bands Black Sabbath has inspired. Electric Wizardish I guess.

[Shattered_Future]

Clutch
Kyuss
Eyehategod

I can't think of any more at the moment...

[AA-12]

I listen to Clutch, but I don't really like Kyuss. I'll check out eyehategod though. Thanks.

[Shattered_Future]

No prob.

[Bartender]

Crowbar
Corrosion of Conformity
Goatsnake (apparently)
Burning Witch (apparently)
Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine (apparently)
Yob
Boris
Sleep
Halfway to Gone
Reverend Bizarre
Nebula

to varying degrees.

[AA-12]

Thanks a bunch man.

[Bartender]

Hopefully they won't all be useless.

[hallowed_ironmaiden]

IS the new sepultura cd any good, Dante XXI? I am a big fan, and I was thinking about getting their new cd. I have heard Convicted in life, and I liked that one.

[rhcp pman]

I haven't listened to it, but it has a few good reviews on Metal Archives. He thinks Roots was an abomination, so I'd say he's unbiased.

[Riva]

Clutch
Kyuss
Eyehategod

I can't think of any more at the moment...

I've never seen how Clutch and Kyuss are really sludgy stoner metal like everyone says they are.

[penelope weird hands]

OK, I would like to hear some quality metal.
I am a metal noob, and would like to expand my musical horizons.
I don't really care about what metal sub-genres anyone suggests but look at my 'likes' so far. Some bands I will mention aren't specifically metal, however, you can get a gist of what I'm more suited to at the moment.

Likes: Opeth, Tool, Porcupine Tree, In Flames, Dark Tranquility(somewhat), Mastodon, SiKth, Mr. Bungle, NIN, Alice In Chains, Faith No More, The Mars Volta.

I guess I would be looking at something very melodic and prog-like(for lack of a better term) from what I put down.. but any suggestions will be sincerely appreciated.

Ta.

EDIT: Oh yeah.. I don't mind growl and scream vocals so don't let that hinder suggestions.

EDIT #2: Shjt.. I forgot.. I need some album/song recommendations of the bands you list because I'm on dialup. :/

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Check out some Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, if you haven't already.

[Shattered_Future]

I've never seen how Clutch and Kyuss are really sludgy stoner metal like everyone says they are.

Well, they're stoner metalish. Not very sludgy, but still somewhat.

[munky_magik]

Well, they're stoner metalish. Not very sludgy, but still somewhat.
Clutch = metalish?

[Shattered_Future]

STONERISH! That's the main point I'm getting at here...oy vey.

[munky_magik]

I see. I would just class them as rock.

[Riva]

Yes, as would I. That's my point.

[Shattered_Future]

All right then. I'd still think they have somewhat of a stoner sound, but that's just me...

[purplepixelman]

for stoner...also check out
sofa king killer - lust crime and holiness ep
bongzilla - gateway, and amerijuanica

[Cocaine]

Clutch dont sound like Stoner-Rock at all to me.

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

Penolope here are some suggestions:
Chimaira, Lamb of God,Children of Bodom, At the Gates,Black Label Society, As I Lay Dying,Arch Enemy,Devildriver,God Forbid, Fear Factory,Himsa, The Haunted,Kalmah,Metallica,Ozzy Osbourne,Pantera,Shadows Fall,Slayer,Soilwork,Soulfly, Thine Eyes Bleed, Trivium,Unearth.

Those are the bands that I listen to most frequently, pretty much all are different genres,so check them out when u have the time.:chug:

[Teh Secksi]

So I was watching VH1's "Supergroup" and Ted Nugents licks were awesome, can someone reccomend me where to start with him?

[pye phyo ko]

can you guys post some long songs which exceed more 5 mins!

[Honeymoon_Croon]

Over 5 isn't that long.
Go check out X Japan's "Art Of Life", 29 minute masterpiece
And 90% Of Tool's songs are over 5 minutes

[pye phyo ko]

octarvium **** that song is the longest metal song i've ever heard over 24 mins

[pye phyo ko]

sorry i mean metal songs
not ochastrated masterpieces>>>

[dUSK]

sorry i mean metal songs
not ochastrated masterpieces>>>

Even still, 5 minutes isn't a very long song.

There's a local prog band here that have a 23 minute prog metal song. It's awesome. Unfortunately it's still unreleased, so I can't share it with you guys. :(

EDIT: Green Carnation - Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness (1:00:06)

[Jacaranda]

ABB - Mountain Jam 33:41
My actual longest song is VU's - Sister Ray at 38:00 but thats a bootleg.
Kyuss have "Spaceship Landing" but if I remember correctly there is a gap of silence that is like 15 mins long.

[nick962]

5 minutes is definetely not long, but whatever... here we go:
Rhapsody - The Odyessy (24:07)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Static (23:19)
(Pretty much anything else by GY!BE)
Sunn 0))) - Hallow Cave (21:58)
(Again, most of these dudes' songs exceed the 5 minute limit)
Agalloch - In the Shadow of our Pale Companion (14:45)
Blind Guardian - And Then There Was Silence (14:07)
Dream Theatre - The Glass Prison (13:52)
(Also most of DT's songs are over 5)
Helloween - Halloween (13:18)

...Thats good enough.
And Japan X - Art of Life
Forsure, an awesome song.

[Meatplow]

Yeah 5 minutes ceased to be long for me a long time ago.

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond is one i can name i think noone else has.

EDIT- Also how the hell could i forgot Fantomas' Delirium Cordia?

74 long minute song that takes up the whole disc it comes on. Granted the last 15 minutes or so is a track skipping, call it avant garde artistic innovation if you will but its disappointing to many including myself. Still a long piece of work.

[Jacaranda]

Five minutes is longer then the average song. Not amazingly long but longer then most.

[TojesDolan]

Yeah 5 minutes ceased to be long for me a long time ago.

Fugging progressive music and it's effects on my standards. :(

On a related note, Dream Theater - A change of seasons (23 or so)

[blueyxd]

Alpha Down - Megalith ... 30:00

[Riva]

Andrew Lloyd Webber/London Cast - Highlights From Phantom Of The Opera (59:18)

Of the real songs:

Ephel Duath - The Passage (46:31)
Porcupine Tree - Moonloop (40:07)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Providence (29:02)

Those are my 3 longest ones.

[Stoic]

I need bands in the vein of early Alice in Chains, early The Melvins and early Soundgarden.

[blueyxd]

Ephel Duath - The Passage (46:31)
ehm.. you have the entire album as one file there.

Alice in Chains, early The Melvins and early Soundgarden
try Karma To Burn and Down

[Stoic]

try Karma To Burn and Down

hmm, it's the first time I've heard of Karma to Burn and as for Down, does Anselmo sing the way he sings for Pantera? If so I wouldnt enjoy the vocals that much.

[Shattered_Future]

Symphony X actually did The Odyssey, not Rhapsody.

My longest song is El Mundo by Corrupted, at almost 74 minutes. But that's more in the vein of GY!BE styled music, where it's just synths. Longest actual "metal" song is Dopesmoker by Sleep, at 63 minutes.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The longest song I have is 25:18.

[Daven]

The longest song i have is 1:13:55.

[Musical_Nerd]

The longest song i have is 1:13:55.

Ouch. Which song is that?

[Daven]

Corrupted - VIII - El Mundo

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

Dudes, he asked for bands with most songs over 5 mins...not for a contest on who knows the longest songs.

[Riva]

ehm.. you have the entire album as one file there.


So I see. Never noticed it before.

[Shattered_Future]

Corrupted - VIII - El Mundo

My longest song is El Mundo by Corrupted, at almost 74 minutes.

Deja vu...

Blind Guardian has tons of songs over 5 minutes. All of the songs on ANATO, save the bonus track, are over 5.

[Holy Diver]

Ok, I'm looking for a band that uses a lot of orchestration in their songs. I don't want a heavy metal band (at least not a speed metal band or a band with growling vocals), but more of a hard rock outfit. Kinda thinking along the lines of songs like Rainbow's "Stargazer" or Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir".

Suggestions?

[Meatplow]

Deep Purple maybe

I haven't listened to much of their stuff but I hear they were the origin of that kind of music.

Holy Diver is an awesome song btw :)

[Lemuria]

man thats hard mmmmm....... almost all of my orchestra bands are power metal

[blueyxd]

[ghettoeddo]

can anyone recommend some good marillion?

[The Cynic]

I recently dowmloaded some Katatonia and really liked it. Can anyone reccomend me some other songs or albums by them?

[Riva]

It'd probably help if you said the songs that you have already.

[Txus]

I recently dowmloaded some Katatonia and really liked it. Can anyone reccomend me some other songs or albums by them?
I have no clue what you've heard but these are some of their best albums:
Brave Murder Day
Viva Emptiness
Tonight's Decision

You can't go wrong with Katatonia though.

[The Cynic]

My bad. I downloaded July, I am nothing, Saw you Drown, Help Me Disappear and Omerta.

[joe_fresh]

Anyone care to recommend some immolation and some vader?

[Bartender]

I only really know early Immolation (Dawn of Possession/Here In After) so far, so I'll recommend Dawn of Possession. I think "Those Left Behind" was the first song of theirs I heard.

[Daven]

Can someone recommend me an album by Municipal Waste? Ive heard very good things about them.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Hazardous Mutation

[Deth]

Anyone care to recommend some immolation and some vader?
Litany full on slays.

[Daven]

Hazardous Mutation

Thanks, i'll look for it.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It's been in the Daily Upload a number of times, Daven. You might want to search your email. If you're lucky a link could still be active.

Litany full on slays.
So that's their best? I've only heard The Art Of War, and was actually wondering which album is best.

[Daven]

It's been in the Daily Upload a number of times, Daven. You might want to search your email :)


That'sa good idea. :thumb: I dont remember seeing any of them in TDU though.


Edit: Just found two albums, thanks.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah the link for Waste 'Em All is still active. It's alot rawer than Hazardous Mutation, though.

[Deth]

So that's their best? I've only heard The Art Of War, and was actually wondering which album is best.
I like it the most. I haven't heard everything though.

Ah, much <3

[joe_fresh]

Can anyone recommend any bands that could possibly be described as progressive/technical sludge? Im thinking along the lines of blessing the hogs, mastadon, keelhaul.

[Stoic]

I think Neurosis would do.

[Hardhat]

Omg Thank You

Well, with Grind, I'd say just go for it, but maybe start with some of the more legendary grind acts, like Nasum.

I have two requests

2. Something with a lot of Groove (Both Metal and other)

[Shadows]

1. Good, simple old-school (or old-school inspired) Death Metal
Autopsy, Asphyx, Obituary, and Bloodbath spring to mind.

[Cocaine]

That was fast, thanks :D

I love *Bloodbath (I prefer Resurrection Through Carnage). I guess I want recommendations in that vein, since I'm posting now.

* I know they're not old-school DM, but the sound is sort of one of the things I'm looking for.

[Shadows]

Bloodbath is basically the Swedes' attempt to create modern day old-school death metal, so they're very similar to old American bands.

[Cocaine]

Yeah, I know, that's why I added that the sound is what I want, I know they're not "old school". Either way, thanks for the reco's, I'm looking into them now.

[Riva]

I have two requests

1. Good, simple old-school (or old-school inspired) Death Metal

2. Something with a lot of Groove (Both Metal and other)

[Apocalyptic Raids]

1. Good, simple old-school (or old-school inspired) Death Metal
Obituary - Cause of Death
Entombed - Left Hand Path

Ugh...those three bands are all brutal death bands...

Those are still terrible grind reccomendations. If he asked for grind, then why don't you reccomend him something that is actually grind?

For grind, get Terrorizer and Repulsion, like Ar said. Top notch, especially repulsion. Vicious and thrashy.

[I'm Charming]

I have apparently confuzzled the hell out of myself now. I swear when I read his question, he asked for tech/death/grind.

I read back now and it's what you said. Now I'm really confuzzled.

[rhcp pman]

Infectious Grooves.
Hell yes. Robert Trujillo is such a bloody badass bassist with so much talent. I love Infectious Grooves.

[Bartender]

2. Something with a lot of Groove (Both Metal and other)

The Beta Band. Not at all metal, but plenty of (slow, relaxed) groove.

[Insipid2000]

Can anyone recommend any Epic/melodic metal, songs like Hallowed Be Thy Name.

Can anyone recommend me some awsome underrgound hip hop?
