The R&M Recommendations Thread

[Dude3]

I was thinking of Getting Of One Blood. I get a lot reccomendations to get AoB, but I'm not sure. I really like how Of One Blood has some Deathy vocals more often.

[gaute]

Hey,

I just need help to discover new stuff. I'm fed up of the bands i'm listening to now and searching for new bands. My only restrictions are:

1.It has to be metal
2.It has to be very technical/complex

I also like progrsive **** a lot, for exemple Opeth.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

*Note : i posted this in the Rock/Metal forum not knowing their already had a thread for this going.

[Jom]

Dream Theater for progressive and technical, Meshuggah would also fulfill your requirements.

Hmmm, Cryptopsy may be a bit extreme if you're a relative beginner. Try some Obituary. Anything off there first 2 albums is great, but in particular...

Chopped In Half
Find The Arise
Circle of the Tyrants (Although, it is a cover)
Gates of Hell
Slowly We Rot
Cause of Death
Infected
'Til Death
Dying

John Tardy is a definate RRRRAAAAWWRRRRRR vocalist, as you put it.

I'm debating to either get Deliverance or ****ation by Opeth. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

[Otherside]

Do you have any other Opeth cds?

[The Cynic]

I just have songs on mixed Cd's that my friend burned for me like The Windowpane and In my Time of Need. But I don't know what albums to get because they're so expensive.

[3rdplanet]

If you like those songs definitely get D*mnation.

Although that album only really shows one side of their musical stylings.

Blackwater Park and Still Life have a good mix I feel, although still with less acousticy stuff than the metally stuff.

[coolidgeALL]

ok guys recommend me some music... If I like, Judas priest, maiden, metallica, Helloween, (etc.) what should I check out?

[Triangle]

I've recently got In Absentia by Porcupine Tree and was wondering what album I should get next of theirs? Thanks.

[3rdplanet]

I've recently got In Absentia by Porcupine Tree and was wondering what album I should get next of theirs? Thanks.

Deadwing is out very soon (in Europe) and I'm guessing it will sound pretty similar to In Absentia as it's the follow up album, so you could wait for that.

I love the 2 CD Signify album though.

To anyone who wants it, I have lots of Neurosis and Isis albums. Check the Isis thread for other similar bands, most of which I have.

[Drumma]

I gonna get some albums but i dont know what to get, i like rock, metal and punk but nothing really heavy like slipknot, slayer, etc. What shall i get ?

[Six Foot Revolver]

Right so you like metal but Slipknot and slayer are too heavy for you?

[munky_magik]

Try some (earlier) stuff by Metallica and Megadeth. They're heavy, but not that heavy. For some rock stuff try Extreme, Aerosmith, Guns N roses, Alice In Chains, Down, Audioslave, Rage Aainst The Machine (though the vocals for them are heavily rap influenced).


Metallica: Kill 'Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, Load, Re-Load
Megadeth: Cryptic Writings, Risk, Peace Sells...But who's buying?
Extreme: Extreme II:Pornografitti, Extreme I
Aerosmtih: Toys in the Attic
Guns N roses: Appetite for destruction, Use your illusions I + II
Alice in Chains: Dirt,
Down: Nola
Audioslave: Audioslave
RATM: Rage Against The Machine, Battle of L.A

[Drumma]

Thanks

[guitarist.kid]

I would like to buy something that's ****ed up like Tool...do you know something that can looks like it?

[Bartender]

earthtone 9
Miocene (on Refining the Theory)

^Both seem to be popular with (the very few) Tool fans who have heard them.

[munky_magik]

If you like the complex rhythms and time signature changes, you may like Meshuggah. I suggest you sample them before buying though.
You may also like Dream theater, who are a prog rock/metal band, with complex music and are extremely technical.
A perfect Circle are also an option. They're like Tool but less technical and have a softer sound, and also feature the same singer.
Randomly; You may also like Nine Inch Nails who are one of the most popular industrial bands.

Again, try sampling all of these bands before buying to see which ones you like/dislike.

It comes down to opinion of course, but my choices are;
Dream Theater: Scenes From a Memory, Awake
A Perfect Circle: Mer De Noms
Nine Inch Nails: The Fragile, The Downward Spiral
Meshuggah: I
Tool: Lateralus

[MAthiAS]

For Megadeth, Rust In Peace and Peace Sells But Who's Buying are essential. I
f you like those then try So Far, So Good... So What! and Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good.

[LeperAffinity]

As slim as my chances are, I'm going to ask this. I want to know if there are any bands similar to Lykathea Aflame, both in brutality, vocals, and melody. And don't say Appalling Spawn, I'm aware of them.

[munky_magik]

That all depends on what you like Megadeth for, their Thrash, Metal, or Alternative sound.

Thrash sound: Killing is My Business....And Business is good, Rust In Peace, Peace Sells...But Who's buying? So Far, So Good,...So what?

Metal: The World Needs a Hero, The System has Failed

Alternative: Crytpic Writings, Risk

Ones in italics are their best from each era (in my opinion)

Maiden - Try Number of the Beast, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son or Dance of Death. Or Piece of Time. Or..

My only other advice there would be to forget the Sex Pistols, and listen to more worthwhile punk. Listen to the album if you really want, I suppose, but unless you see it really cheap, I wouldn't bother actually buying it.

Can someone recommend me some black metal to get into?

[Kage]

My personal favorite Black Metal band is Emperor, but I'm not really an expert in that field.

Still, download Emperor's Into the Infinity of Thoughts

[Bartender]

Immortal - At the Heart of Winter
Grand Belial's Key - Judeobeast Assassination

..both are riffier black metal, if you feel you'd prefer something meatier sounding than much black metal.

Otherwise, check out Burzum's early stuff (his later albums are all synth), Mayhem's earlier stuff (De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, Live in Leipzig), Bathory (one of the starting bands for the genre; earliest stuff is really just thrash, starting to lean towards what would become the black metal style, but check them out anyway). Ask in the death heads for more sophisticated answers.

Darker side of the moon is the best album

[metal5711]

I listen to Slipknot, Lamb of God, Slayer, Pantera, Metallica, and System of a Down :evil: . Can someone recommend what a good Hatebreed album is? Also, does anyone know any good albums in which Slash was the guitarist? I also wanna know about Motorhead. Thanx

Hatebreed - Satisfaction is the Death of Desire, in my opinion its their only good album.

Appetite of Destruction!! for slash

Motorhead to me is alright, my favorite albums from them are Overkill and Ace of Spades.

[metal5711]

Thanx man :thumb:

[Endless Obsession]

what are good testament cds. I havent got any yet

"The legacy", "the ritual", "the gathering", and "the new order" are all excellent.

[black.hole.sun]

I feel disgraced as a guitarist asking this, but could someone reccommend me some songs by Steve Vai?

[flamesofbodom]

For the love of god(song)
Hell just get his new cd. Its supposed to be a story

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Stick with the first two albums (The Legacy and The New Order)

Or you can get First Strike Still deadly, which has tracks from the first two albums re-recorded with modern production.

[Nate22]

I'm trying to get into A Perfect Circle. I heard "The Outsider" and liked it. So, I am wondering what some other good songs are by them.

[Bartender]

The Hollow
Magdalena
Rose
3 Libras
Orestes
The Package
Pet
Gravity
Vanishing
A Stranger

Most of the first two albums, really (Mer De Noms and 13th Step).

[Dude3]

OK, I'm going to get a new Cd soon. What should I get, out of these?:

Testament-The Legacy
Testament-The New Order
Megadeth-Countdown To Extinction
Opeth-Still Life
Death-Human
???
Thanks

[flamesofbodom]

Either Megadeth or one of the Tesaments

Hmm...reccomend any Black Sabbith? (I'm such a dork when it comes to bands) I've heard Ozzy and maybe a few Sabbath songs, but I'm not 100% sure on which ones *in your guys opinion* are the best.

Any of there first 4 albums

Self Titled
Paranoid
Master of Reality
Black Sabbath Vol.4

All are incredible, and the true roots of heavy metal.

If u like those get Techincal Ecstasy and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

In my opinon, get the albums in this order:

Self titled
Vol.4
Never Say Die!
Master of Reality
Sabotage
Technical Ecstasy
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Paranoid

If you want any Black Sabbath without Ozzy on vocals then I recommend:

Live Evil (Dio)
Heaven and Hell (Dio)
TYR (Tony Martin)

:thumb:

[Deth]

^^^
Never Say Die third? I would disagree.

[The Cynic]

Need a good black metal album. I listen to

Some of the bands I listen to. Can anyone tell me a really good album. Thanks.

Thats why I said In My Opinion before making the list.

[augerbaugh]

OK. There is a song I think by slipknot and Jonathon Davis for the Queen of the D@mned soundtrack. I think it's called "look away" if i'm wrong please correct me. i am listening to the song. but i don't have the lyrics or anything, also

Also, there is only an official slipknot thread.
Korn do not have one and do not make one
You can find a link to all of the official threads in the rules thread, which I suggest you read very thourougly.

Can somebody please yousendit me some of their fave Gordian Knot songs?

I have a song called Fischer's Gambit from LimeWire and it is great, and wondered if I could get any more.

war pigs
paranoid

N.I.B.
iron man
snowblind
sweet leaf

some other people could probably give you some more suggestions.

[metal_milita]

Ok, I just discovered this thread in the most ironic way ever. Creating a thread asking for good music by Symphony X, I commented on how all threads are being simplified with "official ___ thread" etc. First post, "Official Reccommendation Thread". That was sorta funny for me, the most I thought was that there might be some official symphony X thread floating around or a thread already discussing which songs of theirs is good.

But regardless, does anyone know any good Symphony X songs to the effect of Candlelight Fantasia, Sea of Lies and Smoke and Mirrors etc. Thanks

[Huber]

Of Sins and Shadows, Eye of Medusa...that's all I can think of off the top of my head. I haven't given Symphony X a spin in awhile.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Inferno (unleash the fire)

oh and egypt

[Jom]

They're being simplified because it's irritating to see five threads asking about the same band. They were created for a reason... and if you call your own idiocy ironic, then that's fine. The search function works for a reason. Use it next time. Besides, Symphony X don't get discussed enough to warrant an official thread.

As for your question, V: The New Mythology Suite is a worthwhile album.

[Fhaze]

hey guys I searched this already and expected some results but didnt get any... please no flames. but could someone recomend some black label society?

[shamed-angel]

Evolution is a great song, one of my favourites by Symphony X and is probably one of their heaviest. Excluding the songs you Mentioned, some songs to check out are :-
>Fallen(from V, as Anti-Hero said,really worthwhile and IMO an amazing album.)
>Masquerade (Very baroque intro, which is really quite funny at first.)
>The Odyssey(a 24 minute epic, not far removed from the Stylings of DT's Change of Seasons)

If you need much else, feel free to IM me.

[ArcLite]

All of their albums are great, but for starters check out 1919 Eternal and/or Blessed Hellride.

can someone please recomend me some Kreator?

[G_Mac07]

There is no such thing as a good Nirvana CD, but megadeth's Rust In Peace is pretty good

Don't be an *** in this thread.

Sliptallica, I would recommend only getting Nirvana's best of CD if you do end up getting anything. Nevermind is where most people start, but I got bored with that and no longer play it. You have a similar taste in music to me from what I've seen, and I think you would get bored with it as well. The best of is a decent mix of their recorded tracks and Unplugged segment.

[Bartender]

can someone please recomend me some Kreator?

Coma of Souls is good. Pleasure to Kill is supposed to be.

[Riva]

Pleasure to Kill is definetly a good album.

[Diecex]

hey guys I searched this already and expected some results but didnt get any... please no flames. but could someone recomend some black label society?

Check out 1919 eternal, great acoustic track (speedball) fast as hell.

[MAthiAS]

can someone please recomend me some Kreator?
Coma of Souls, I have it its great. From what I hear Pleasure to Kill is amazing, and Extreme Aggression is good too. Enemy of God is pretty good too, but get the others first.

[heyheymymy]

Please reccomend me an In Flames album

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

Please reccomend me an In Flames album


Whoacle or The Jester Race.

[G_Mac07]

^ The Jesters Race is pretty good, I like it better than Whoracle. They are however, the only In Flames albums I have heard.

[Riva]

Whoracle is my favourite, though many would argue that Jester Race is their best.

If you go past The Jester Race, they become more Gothenburg, and less Melodeath.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

Whoracle is my favourite, though many would argue that Jester Race is their best.

Either Either. I'm too busy being lazy to care. :)

I'm looking to get more into black metal. I haven't heard much at all so far, and the bass seems to be a lot less prominent for me to really like it. So, can someone recommend me some black metal bands that are fairly prominent in the bottom end? thanks in advance.

Black metal is a genre that hardly has any bass, so if that is something you are looking for in black metal it will probably not be something you will like.

Either you have to have it grow on you, or not listen to it at all.

[G_Mac07]

Yeah I'd been reading that one of the characteristics of the genre was the lack of bass. I was just hoping there might be something with a bit more in the lower ranges, just to break myself into the genre a little easier. Thanks anyway.

[extreme_191]

Emperor is amazing when it comes to black metal!

[MAthiAS]

I'd like some black metal recommendations myself, if you could.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

I'd like some black metal recommendations myself, if you could.


I'll recommend some stuff for you two later, for now I am going to play a game.

[Riva]

I shall recommend some stuff then.

Melechesh - Djinn. Amazing album, by an amazing band. Great Black Metal, with a middle-eastern feel. More melodic, if you want a softer way into the genre.

Darkthrone - A Blaze In The Northern Sky. Possibly the quintessential black metal album, very good atmosphere.

Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Santhanas. One of my favourite albums. Very atmospheric, but the singing may annoy some.

Burzum - Det Som Engang Var. A very good start, if you are looking for musically beautiful black metal.

Gorgoroth - Pentagram. Perhaps not the best band, but I like them. :)

Hope that goes well for now.

[Deicide n Jesus]

Hmm...Black Metal Wise..

Panchrysia, i can't remember the name of their album but theres only one, so you can't really go wrong!

Thus Defiled, again can't really album names but they basically rule.

If you're into Black Metal with orchestra, Dimmu Borgir are great for it.

That's all I can think of for now, undoubtely I'll post some more soon.

[3rdplanet]

I'm looking for more bands which have a sounds similar to Biffy Clyro/Reuben.

Any recommendations?

[RiceMonster]

I'd like some black metal recommendations myself, if you could.
For starting I always say Immortal, Emperor and Dissection. I find them to be perfect starting bands.

[asshead27]

if anybody is looking for a really good metalcore band, i'd recommend Misery Signals. normally i am into black/death metal, but for some reason i can't stop listening to these guys. i seriously encourage everyone to check them out

[Iai]

I'm looking for more bands which have a sounds similar to Biffy Clyro/Reuben.

You'd probably like Kinesis and yourcodenameis:milo, and at a stretch, InMe.

It depends which songs of those bands you're talking about, but you should definitely check out Kinesis.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Is metal church worth listening to?

[3rdplanet]

You'd probably like Kinesis and yourcodenameis:milo, and at a stretch, InMe.

InMe....eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewww. Don't enjoy yourcodenameis:milo either.

Will try Kinesis though.

EDIT: Oh dear Lord Kinesis are rubbish. Their drummer needs a slap. No offence.

[Iai]

I don't like YCNI:M or InMe either. Just going by the tastes of my Biffy-loving friends.

What Kinesis track(s) did you get?

[3rdplanet]

I downloaded the video for ...and They Obey from their website...was not impressed.

Trying another one now though. One Way Mirror this time.

[Dude3]

For whoever wanted the Nirvana suggestion, I am a much bigger fan of "Bleach", their first album, than all of their others. I think it is pretty good.

[fillerbunny41]

Listen To Dream Evil
not the CD, the band, they are awesome, so is Dragonforce. Also, everybody should own Iron Maiden's Killers

Black metal in which you can actually hear the bass, and it's not just copying the guitar:

Watain
Leviathan(IMO some of, if not the best and most atmospheric black metal ever created.)

[Lightning_Rider]

Hey guys, can anyone recommend me some metal bands that don't have much screaming or growling?

I like bands like, Masterplan, Edguy, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Dream Evil, Dio, Helloween, Stratovarius, Dragonforce, Firewind, Hammerfall...

Any more bands like these would be great. Thanks a ton.

Images and Words seems to be many peoples favourites, although I started with ToT and thought it was brilliant. Awake or Scenes From A Memory wouldn't be bad choices either, but I&W is what I'm recommending you.

[Timidus]

Hey guys I'm back and I'm here with another "this or that" question

I want to buy a Judas Priest and an Iron Maiden CD but I don't know which one to buy first

As for Priest: I was thinking either Painkiller or British Steel

As for Maiden: I was thinking Killers or Fear of the Dark

Anyone have any suggestions which one I need to get first to start my collection?

[Brew]

Priest - Painkiller

Maiden - Killers

[Iai]

For Iron Maiden, you should definitely get Killers.

For Priest, either is good, but I prefer British Steel.

[3rdplanet]

What would people say is the best Zappa album? I have a lot of Mp3s of his stuff but I want to go and buy an album.

Oh and The DEPs best work.

And I would say Painkiller.

[metalbassist777]

I'm not sure what the BEST Zappa album is...but you should try out We're Only In it For the MOney for when he was with the Mothers. If you want some more accessible stuff then try out Over-nite Sensation.

By DEP you mean Dillinger Escape Plan right? Well thats what I'm assuming. In that case Calculating Infinity i think is their best. But Miss Machine is really good to.

queensryche added to what bartender suggested.



for zappa, try hot rats. its pretty accessible. either that or apostrophe.

also, try dillinger escape plans ep with mike patton, Irony is a Dead Scene.

[Lightning_Rider]

Thanks, already got Queensryche though.

[samyell]

i would recomend any led zeppelin album, they are all great and you will be hooked.

[Bartender]

What would people say is the best Zappa album? I have a lot of Mp3s of his stuff but I want to go and buy an album.

Freak Out! is the only one I can personally recommend in full, but it's excellent. What I've heard of Hot Rats is good though, and it's supposed to be also excellent.

Oh and The DEPs best work.


My personal favourite (from what I've heard) is the Irony is a Dead Scene EP, but that's most probably because it's only an EP, and it has Mike Patton on vocals. As far as albums, I'd recommend Calculating Infinity over Miss Machine.

[PunkGuitarist]

I just heard a song by Decide, Scars of the Crucifix, and I really liked it. Can someone recommend me some similar bands and some good songs by decide?

[3rdplanet]

Cheers metalbassist777, PinkFreud and Bartender, you all recommended different stuff (:lol: ) but I think I will try and check out Hot Rats first. Was thinking of getting Miss Machine because I love Setting Fire to Sleeping Giants (which isn't very representative of their work) but will consider the other ones.

[Heavy0metal0freak]

can somebody recommend me fast power metal bands besides dragonforce, sinergy and hammerfall thanks

[Iai]

Blind Guardian. You may also enjoy Children of Bodom.

[Riva]

can somebody recommend me fast power metal bands besides dragonforce, sinergy and hammerfall thanks

Galloglass, Helloween, Dream Evil, Manowar and Rhapsody.

If you like Sinergy, you may enjoy Children of Bodom, which also features Laiho.

You may also like 3 Inches Of Blood, though they also have harsh vocals.

[deftones/tool]

can someone tell whats the best smashing pumkins cd

[munky_magik]

can someone tell whats the best smashing pumkins cd
Try either "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" or "Siamese Dreams".

[A Phantom's Propoganda]

Anyone have an opinion on the best Thrice CD?

[metallica83]

Aeely good power metal band is BLoody Mary, im not sure if theyre local but look em up, theyre great

[GenuineImitation]

What are some good Dillinger escape plan cds and opeth cds to buy?

[apocalypse13]

What are good Dream Theater and Vai songs?

[The Cynic]

Does anyone know how long the God Forbid CD is? I've been thinking about buying it, but I don't want it to be on;y 30 minutes long.

[Deth]

What are some good Dillinger escape plan cds and opeth cds to buy?
Dillinger- I personally prefer Miss Machine to Calculating Infinity because it is much more diverse, while Infinity is pretty nonstop with the onslaught.

Opeth-All of them. Good starting place is Blackwater Park.

[Deth]

Anyone have an opinion on the best Thrice CD?
Probably the wrong forum for this, but at a guess (having heard very little of them) I would say The Artist in the Ambulance.

[Thor]

From Pink Floyd, would you reccomend Wish You Were Here or Animals? I cant decide.

[deadinholywood]

Can someone tell me which is the best At the Gates album to get first, i listen to Dark Tranquillity, Arch Enemy, Opeth etc etc but i am yet to get into ATG
Thanks

[ThrashMaster27]

Slaughter of the Soul. That or Terminal Spirit Disease.

[3rdplanet]

From Pink Floyd, would you reccomend Wish You Were Here or Animals? I cant decide.

Both are fantastic albums and each are worth owning.

I slightly prefer Animals, but there will be a lot of people telling you to get Wish You Were Here first, especially seeing as it has more shorter songs on it (if you exclued Shine On... :lol: )

[Kage]

I'm interested in finding some good Ambient/Darkwave/Industrial music, similar to stuff like Puissance. Anyone have any reccommendations?
