[mr black]

what are peoples opinions on atreyu, coz i just downloaded lip gloss and black, and i reckon its pretty awsome

[Kurtz]

The only Death metal band i listen to is opeth.....can some one recommend any other good death metal bands
Start out with some Death, Quo Vadis, Gorguts, and Cryptopsy.

You can go deeper into the genre once you listen to some basics.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The only Death metal band i listen to is opeth.....can some one recommend any other good death metal bands
I'm not a death metal expert, but try:

Morbid Angel
Obituary
Necrophagist
Death
Psycroptic

[LeperAffinity]

I don't think Cryptopsy is for someone looking to get into the genre, as it's not the most accessible thing in the world. I'd recommend Death, Possessed, Vader, Morbid Angel, Arghoslent, and Arsis.

[beaNN]

Morbid Angel are always good :)

[Bartender]

I don't think Cryptopsy is for someone looking to get into the genre, as it's not the most accessible thing in the world. I'd recommend Death, Possessed, Vader, Morbid Angel, Arghoslent, and Arsis.

I was started out on Cryptopsy, Atheist, Cynic and Gorguts, and I like to think I turned out okay.

I actually think Cryptopsy are a good band to introduce people to death metal with; even if they hate the drumming because 'it's all just fast and pointless', you can at least impress upon them just how amazingly fast it is, and even if they dismiss the vocals because 'they're all just stupid growling', you can at least get them to see how impressive Lord Worm is. And that often seems to lead to liking the band later on.

[P3rSiAnP0wer]

Can someone reccomend me some stuff from Pink Floyd?

[P3rSiAnP0wer]

also Metallica stuff other than from And justice for all and master of puppets

[ATM]

Can anyone recommend some songs that build up to a climax?

Anyone?

[3rdplanet]

Staying Alive - Cursive is all that pops to mind right now.

@ ArrestThisMan

[Thai Noodles2]

Kiilling in the name-ratm has such a great climax

[Thai Noodles2]

The only Death metal band i listen to is opeth.....can some one recommend any other good death metal bands

posessed, if you do research on them and understand my avatar you'll know why.

[P3rSiAnP0wer]

Start off with Dark Side Of The Moon, then get Wish You Were Here. If you like them, get Animals and The Wall, and then The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn and Meddle. After that, buy them in just about whatever order you feel like, as those are generally regarded as their best albums.



I think Ride The Lightning and Kill 'Em All would be thought of by most people as their next two best albums, although some people would say that The Black Album is as good. Everything after that has been progressively more disappointing, although you might want to pick up S&M.

Alright, thanks a lot bro

[a5thdiad]

how about some napalm death recommendations? i'm gonna get something of theirs soon, just don't know what!

[Dude3]

Alrighty. I'm going to order a The Mars Volta cd later. I'm planning on getting De-Loused in the Comatorium.
I'm also going to get a Judas Priest album, but my mind is not totally made up yet. I'm choosind between:
Sad Wings Of Destiny
Screaming for Vengeance
and maybe, Painkiller
Any reccomendation would be appreciated.

[Flynn]

Anyone?

Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness - Green Carnation

[Dude3]

Anybody?

[progdrumman]

Dude, listen to Symphony X, Dream Theater, Kamelot, Angra, Evergrey, Adagio, Nevermore, or Nightwish. They are all awesome. If you pick only one to give a listen to... go w/ Sym X.

[Bartender]

That isn't what this thread's for. Unless you're answering someone in particular and just haven't quoted them.

[MAthiAS]

how about some napalm death recommendations? i'm gonna get something of theirs soon, just don't know what!
There's a Napalm Death thread floating around... check it out.

It basically says Scum is their classic grind album, get it.

[Dude3]

Man, I'm having a tough time deciding on which Judas Priest album to get.
I decided to order Testament's-The Legacy, and I may pre-order the new System of a Down Cd, but the Judas Priest selection is killing me.
I'm now deciding between Sad Wings of Destiny, and Screaming for Vengeance.

[mypinkiehurts]

Can anyone suggest some good Judas Priest songs?

[Dude3]

Can anyone suggest some good Judas Priest songs?
Hellbent for Leather
Electric Eye
The Ripper
You've Got Another Thing Comin'
Painkiller
Breaking the Law
Bloodstone
Living After Midnight
Those are some good one's to start out with.

[iplaydrums36]

Pantera, A Vulgar Display of Power..

[White Goodman]

I appreciate the list of songs. From what I have heard of these bands they are wonderful. I will have to spend my night downloading these other songs.

Now if someone could recommend some Yes. All my classic rock/prog rock friends have recommend them but I have only heard one song.

any songs from albums close to the edge or fragile.

[White Goodman]

I downloaded some of the songs you recommended last night, and that is some great music. I can't believe I haven't discovered some of this music earlier. When I was dling some songs I stumbled across a neurosis song (yea i don't know how i did it either). I really liked what I heard, so can anyone tell me what are some good songs from them?

I'm just a demanding person, Thanks again.

FYI the song was Lost.

[Flynn]

For those of you who Haven't heard of or heard the band Green Carnation, Buy a record (CD) called Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness. The song is a little over an hour and will leave you speachless if you like that kind of music. I absolutely love that song, and has become a Masterpiece in my music collection. :thumb:

You are a lucky person, Neurosis own majorly :)

Listen to the title track from the album 'The Eye of Every Storm', man I love that song so much.

[Flynn]

Oh okay. What do you recommend that sounds similar to that?

[White Goodman]

You are a lucky person, Neurosis own majorly :)

Listen to the title track from the album 'The Eye of Every Storm', man I love that song so much.

Thanks tons, I loved what I downloaded and I don't really know much about them so I will have to dig a little deeper.

[Bartender]

I know the album A Sun That Never Sets is good, because I've actually heard it. Other than that I'm more or less useless for Neurosis. I think Souls at Zero is supposed to be good, as is Neurosis and Jarboe (the Swans vocalist), but don't take my word for it.

[Dancin' Man]

Go for the newest Neurosis. THey get increasingly better as they seperate themselves from their hardcore roots. The Eye of Every Storm is probably my favorite. And also check out similar bands like Isis and Mare or the mellower side which has Pelican and The Red Sparrows.

What is with the animal names?

[White Goodman]

I appreciate all the help guys. I have hears several Isis songs and from what I have heard they own. I just got down listening to The Eye of the Storm, and all i can say is wow. That song is amazing. :amaze:

:thumb: The 'whhhhhhuuurrrmb, whhhhhhhhhhurrrmb, whhhhhhhhhuuuurrrmb, whhhhhhhhhhuuurrrmb, wurmb, wurmb, wurmb, wurmb' bit is so great. Well I think so.

Does anybody know any bands with great piano, not neccissarily (****ed if I can spell that word) rock or metal but along the lines of X-Japan 'Art of Life' solo, or 'Pluvius Aestivus' by Pain of Salvation?

Also any bands with good Saxophone would be appreciated.

[Nate22]

I'm looking for some good Sepultura songs. I like the older, thrash stuff but I also liked a couple newer songs I heard, such as Mind War.

Stockholm Syndrome by Muse has a few piano interludes in it along with Accolade II by Symphony X. I don't know if that is what you are looking for but I hope I helped.

AHHHH I FORGOT TO CELEBRATE MY 50th POST!!!!

[3rdplanet]

Stockholm Syndrome by Muse has a few piano interludes in it along with Accolade II by Symphony X. I don't know if that is what you are looking for but I hope I helped.

I have a lot of Muse stuff, all except Hullabaloo anyway. He is a great pianist.

Never did check out Symphony X that much, I like the song 'Fallen', gonna try and download that song.

[Dancin' Man]

For sax check out Solefald. A few songs off of In Harmonia Universali use saxophone.
Nutrisco Et Extinguo, Dionysify the Night of the Spring and Fraternité de la Grande Lumière all use sax.

[White Goodman]

Never did check out Symphony X that much, I like the song 'Fallen', gonna try and download that song.

I didn't really know a lot about them until some of these people recommend them, they are excellent. I recommend them highly, espcially Accolade II because of the piano parts.

[Lightning_Rider]

Can anyone recommend me some metal bands that don't have nasty vocals? The whole screaming/growling just doesn't do it for me. Also I don't like Black Metal or Death Metal and all that category. Also, I don't like bands that have excessive Satanic lyrics so none of that either if you can. If it's one or two songs only, that's okay though.

I'm a big fan of stuff like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Edguy, Masterplan, stuff like that, I also enjoy some progressive metal like Symphony X.

Also, so you guys don't recommend me anything I already have. I already know of Manowar, Helloween, Saxon, Metalium, Lost Horizon, Iron Savior, Iron Fire, Firewind, Rhapsody, Falconer, Dragonforce, Motorhead, Magic Kingdom, Dragonheart, Cryonic Temple, Blind Guardian, KISS, Rush, Angra, Adagio, Nightwish, Power Quest, Queensryche, Sonata Artica, Stratovarius, Timo Kotipelto, Yngwie Malmsteen, Symphorce, Steel Attack, Racer X, Dream Theater, Katatonia, Procupine Tree, Valhalla... as well as the above bands I mentioned...

Anyways I know more than them but I'm thinking I should stop naming bands there...

Lastly, sorry for making this such a long post but I just wanna get into bands other than these. I'll actually be kinda surprised if anyone can recommend something else that I'll like :lol:

[Believer]

Lightning - I'd suggest Control Denied
also Martyr (Not Martyr AD mind you), they yell, but they dont really growl...


Now for my request: Can somebody name me some good technical death or thrash metal bands, like Atheist, Death, Carcass, Martyr and all that... nothing that well known or anything, thanks

You sir, are a pussy. :p

Well, you are just missing out on tons of great music though, also the bands that mix clean and harsh vocals as well. May I ask what bands from the death and blakc metal genre you have heard, and how long have you given time to listen to them?

So...you don't like growled or screamed vocals, but you still like Katatonia? Obviously only like the later part of their works...

But anywho, some of these bands might not fit your exact tastes, but they have clean vocals and are good though.

Arcturus (stay away from songs from their first album since it is mostly screaming)
Age Of Silence
Winds
Dream Evil
Hammerfall
Kamelot
Nevermore
Otyg
Paradise Lost (last 5-6 full lengths)
Within Temptation

I'm not a *****, I just don't enjoy screaming and growling and I'm not too big on Satan stuff that's all. Nothing wrong with that.

What I heard from Katatonia so far isn't that much screaming.

Anyways thanks for your suggestions but most of the bands you mentioned there I have and forgot to put on the list :lol: but I'll check out the ones I don't have.

And the stuff that I don't like about Death/Black Metal is just mainly the screaming. Also as I mentioned I don't like overly satanist bands. Anyways that's just my tastes.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

I'm going to suggest you try Opeth, I was never big on growling until I heard them. Their transitions between clean and harsh really opened up my musical tastes, and I think they could do the same for you.

Try:
The Moor
To Bid You Farewell (soft song, but I'm yet to hear someone speak poorly of it)
Bleak

Control Denied. Definitely definitely definitely Control Denied.

Really though, I'd recommend trying to get past blocking out huge swathes of great music just based on vocals or lyrics.

[bass24]

a great classic rock band that isnt well known is Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Try listening to Four Dead In Ohio, and Southern Cross. Joe Walsh is an awsome rocker, he was the guitarist for the eagles. Try Rocky Mountain Way, Funk 49, and Lifes Been Good. Traveling Wilburys (George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, and Jeff Lynne) are a great, stacked, and a pretty unknown band.

[joe_fresh]

Can someone recommend me some black metal similar to arcturus' later stuff, especially la masquerade infernal. Preferably clean vocals but im not too fussed. Cheers.

Winds could be something you might like. I'm only getting in to them now as well, but they're who I've gone to after Arcturus. It's more Avant Garde than Black Metal though.

[Believer]

Is it like screaming though? Cause I don't really like either :lol:

btw I don't know nothing to give you :upset:

Control Denied has no screaming at all, and Martyr doesnt scream like Black metal does, they just yell... I suppose somewhat like early Metallica

If you don't want growling ,get D*amnation by them. You'll probably really like it since there's almost no screaming in it. Does anyone know where to get Blackwater Park with the bonus tracks and the enhanced besides amazon?Thanks.

Why can't you just get it from Amazon?

Can someone recommend some bands that are similar to Radiohead?

[AA-12]

I need some very sad/dark sounding music, basically like Doom Metal. I need a lot of bands, preferably ones that are not too hard to find. I'd also prefer that the guitar would be distorted sometimes.

[munky_magik]

If you want Doom recommendations go Here (http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=309012) and either read through the thread, or ask Jondur for some band names.

[The Prairie Prophet]

Lightning Rider, you have to check out Into Eternity (www.intoeternity.net) they are on Century Media and have a beautiful mix of Clean vocals and well thought out and well placed death vocals. They're "Progressive Metal for the Death Metal fan and Death Metal for the Progressive Metal fan". One of my favourite bands. The great thing is I live in the same city as them and found out about them from the net before ever seeing them live or meeting them. It was this band that broke me into underground metal.

I too always seek clean vocals or a good mix. Can anyone recommend me anything in the way of Swedish melodic? I'm a huge fan of Soilwork and bands like Evergrey. Any thoughts?

[3rdplanet]

Pluvius Aestivus - Pain of Salvation (http://s50.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2O4DH8BH2JDQA3KU45Z3BCNEQD)

Does anybody have any recommendations for music which sounds similar to the one above?

[timskold214]

Can anyone recommened any good goth metal music, or just plain goth music?

[heyho_letsgo]

Could people reccomend me some really good power metal? The only power metal I have right now is Iced Earth, and I would like some more, if possible. Thanks.

I recommend Rhapsody, Stratovarius, DragonForce, Blind Guardian. Thats some really good power metal.

[Iai]

Can someone recommend some bands that are similar to Radiohead?
Mansun, definitely. Martin Grech is cool too.

And if you want stuff like The Bends, try some Suede. (Or London Suede, depending where you live)

[Alex1422]

Ac Dc-Back in Black, Ac Dc live
U2-Best of 1980-1990, best of 1990-2000

So, I was floating around the internet, when I decided to download some Neil Young as I remember his album Harvest Moon being played a lot when I was a wee young chappy.

What would people say was his best work?

I really haven't heard much of them but, "Territory" and "Roots Bloody Roots" are awesome.

While I'm at it,
What are some good songs from Neurosis, Isis,
and what is the best Sepultura album?

[that one guy you call code red]

i've never been a big slipknot fan..... never really even bother to find music by them.... but all my friends say they rock.... and i just want to see what the big deal is.... so.... what are some of slipknot's best songs..... so i can get a feel for what the band is like.... and to see if it is a band my band might want to cover....

The stuff on the site sounds pretty cool. I'll check them out more. Thanks :thumb:

[LeperAffinity]

Best Sepultura album would either be "Beneath the Remains" or "Schizophrenia". Good songs:

Inquisition Symphony
From the Past Comes the Storms
Troops of Doom
Beneath the Remains
Hungry
Slaves of Pain
Mass Hypnosis
Arise
Dead Embryonic Cells
Subtraction
Desperate Cry

[Apocalyptic Raids]

and what is the best Sepultura album?
Beneath The Remains or Schizophrenia. Personally i can't choose between them.

[evilmenhavenosongs]

I have a feeling that this should go in Other Music but we all know how much traffic that place gets.

I've been looking into Industrial, Darkwave, EBM etc. but I'm fairly new to it for the most part because there's just so much to get through basically.

At the moment I have some bands that I suspect from reveiws and stuff are good but I either can't get a hold of anything by them or I'm not sure of which album to get etc.

Faetal
Code 64
The Retrosic
Pain

I'm not sure if this is strictly allowed in the thread but what the hell. Which are worth following up and which just suck? Any other suggestions? Also, which Wumpscut album to get? I hear they vary in quality quite a lot. And are Audrey Horne worth investigating?

[Alessandro]

Porcupine Tree, King Crimson, Radiohead (at times), and I've heard Tool compared to them. The first two of those are probably the best comparisons to make though, although it's hard to find many bands that really sound a lot like Pink Floyd. For their earlier, more psychedelic stuff, try bands like The Doors, The Beatles with albums like Magical Mystery Tour, and maybe some stuff by Cream as well.

Ignore that Tool comparison :smash: , that´s just a bunch of Tool fanboys overrating their favorite band.

[munky_magik]

What bands are like Pink Floyd ?
Cheers
It's kind of a long shot, but try Ozric Tentacles.
They're kind of a psychedelic,ambient band.

So, I was floating around the internet, when I decided to download some Neil Young as I remember his album Harvest Moon being played a lot when I was a wee young chappy.

What would people say was his best work?
On The Beach and Rust Never Sleeps.

[BassNewb]

Alright I've listened to the same stuff for about the last 6 months and need some new metal bands, the bands I listen to now are:
American Head Charge
Lamb of God
Shadows Fall
Slayer
Metallica
Megadeth
The Haunted
Six Feet Under
Killswitch Engage
Mudvayne
Hatebreed
Chimaira
Children of Bodom
Danzig

Any heavy metal would be great.

Arsis are a good melodic death band, if you like that stuff.
Try Some Judas Priest as well.

At the Gates and Kalmah stick out as recommendations at first, closely followed by Arsis and Quo Vadis. And though I don't particularly care for them, you'd probably like Trivium.

[CaptainWaits]

If you like Neil Young, check out After The Gold Rush. You may also want to look at his work with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and Buffalo Springfield. I'd say After The Gold Rush is required listening for fans of his though.

I should've stated that "After the Goldrush" was the one Neil Young album I had. Thanks for the help there though on his work with those selected artists

[evilmenhavenosongs]

I have a feeling that this should go in Other Music but we all know how much traffic that place gets.

I've been looking into Industrial, Darkwave, EBM etc. but I'm fairly new to it for the most part because there's just so much to get through basically.

At the moment I have some bands that I suspect from reveiws and stuff are good but I either can't get a hold of anything by them or I'm not sure of which album to get etc.

HMV doesn't have a section for Industrial. I complained to the guy behind the counter because HMV sucks.

They have a reggae section... :upset:

Anyways... carry on with the reccomending.

[munky_magik]

Are you sure? I usually find that HMV has a pretty broad selection of artists from most genres. It's just all very expensive :-/

Well ,there isn't really much you can lump reggae in with.

[CaptainWaits]

Anyways, someone recommend me a god **** good Speed Metal album!!

[evilmenhavenosongs]

I know I know... I was just being in a bad mood. We had a nice discussion about Industrial though. :)

They had nothing that I could see except Rammestein and NIN, not even Wumpscut and they're pretty big or so I'm led to believe.

no, but killswitch is okay..., actually, do u know what Children of Bodom albums are good?

[ArcLite]

Bodom, ehh? Now you're speaking my language. Follow The Reaper is probably their best album. It has the best somewriting and technicallity. However, if you're looking to sacrifice a little bit of those for more brutality, then get Hate Crew Deathroll. But all of their albums are great, you can't go wrong.

[panthersfan16]

mmm..brutal...anyother bands u can think of like that?

[ArcLite]

Children of Bodom - Power metal with harsh vocals.
Dark Tranquillity - Melodic death, check out the Character album.
Cryptopsy - Straight up death metal, try None So Vile.
Immortal - Good black metal.
Behemoth - Off the chain heavy death. Check out Demigod
Hypocrisy - Early albums are heavy death/melodic death, later are more melodic
Death - The founders of death metal, early albums are quite heavy, later are more progressive.
Soilwork - Try A Predator's Portrait or Stabbing The Drama, good melo death.
Slayer - Good old thrash, never fails to get the blood pumping.

I'll add more as I think of them...

I fail to see how kreator, exumer and hirax are not speed metal when metal church is. Although thrash, they are still also speed metal.

Perhaps flotsam and jetsam, annilihator are more what you mean then, but like metal church, they are still thrash.

there's a genre thread and i'm sure it's got some bands listed in there

Manowar, Dream Evil, Stratovarius, Children of Bodom, Norther, Kalmah (the last three are power, just with harsh vocals), Angra, Dragonforce, Helloween, Blind Guardian, Sinergy(more often than not), Nightwish.
I'll add more as I think of them...

[Bartender]

In addition to what magik said (he always beats me to these things :)), Sonata Arctica, Blind Guardian, Primal Fear, Hammerfall, Helloween, Dragonforce and Battlelore are worth checking out.

(he always beats me to these things :) )

I can't figure out if that's a good or a bad thing.


And actually, while you, and I, are here. Which do you recommend out of Fishing for Luckies? or Fishing for More luckies? I'm leaning more towards the latter.

[x_Evilized_x]

You can go to http://www.metal-archives.com and search for Power Metal under "music genre" in the menu bar at the left hand side. You will then be presented with a massve list, which I'm sure you can happily work your way through.

[Bartender]

And actually, while you, and I, are here. Which do you recommend out of Fishing for Luckies? or Fishing for More luckies? I'm leaning more towards the latter.

Well the first one, the fan club release, only has six tracks. I'm not sure you'd be able to find a copy of that anyway.

Fishing For More Luckies has nine tracks, and includes all the 'important'* FFL tracks - Sky Babies, Do the Channel Bop, Schizophonic, Inglorious - as well as a few others exclusive to the release, including what is (I think) the first appearance of Geordie in Wonderland, and an alternate (longer) version of I Wanna Go.

The Fishing For Luckies re-release has 10 songs, and also includes the 'important' tracks listed above, as well as other tracks only really available on that album (and also, inexplicably, Sick of Drugs and Red Light-Green Light). As usual, the only real solution is get both :) I think the important thing really is to have heard Sky Babies, Schizophonic and Do the Channel Bop. The tracks exclusive to each disc make a nice extra, though. The tracklistings, so you can make your own mind up in the end, are;

FFML
1. Inglorious
2. If Life is Like A Lovebank I Want An Overdraft
3. Schizophonic
4. Do The Channel Bop
5. Geordie In Wonderland
6. Sky Babies
7. Underkill
8. Saddened
9. I Wanna Go Where The People Go (Early Version)

and for FFL re-release;
1. Inglorious
2. Sick Of Drugs
3. Red Light-Green Light
4. Schitzophonic
5. Soul Searching On The Planet Earth
6. Do The Channel Bop
7. Mood Swings & Roundabouts
8. In Like Flynn
9. Sky Babies
10. Nite Songs

FFML was the first I got, so I'm partial to it.

*Sky Babies is an important track because it's the longest they've ever done (11 1/2 minutes), and also close to the best. It was something of a live myth until they played it live on every date of a tour a couple of years ago, so it's got some cool fan mythology attached to it.
Schizophonic is important because, apart from a great song, they sometimes play it live.
Do the Channel Bop is important because 1. it's effortlessly cool, and 2. Silverginger 5 sometimes play it live.

[munky_magik]

I was gonna get both anyway, but I just wanted to decide since I'm going to order the Along comes Mary single from Amazon and I figured I should make it a worthwhile order.
I have Schizophonic already, and SG5 did Inglorious for the BLM bonus disc. I don't know how often they did it though.

I think I'll go for FFML.

[Bartender]

I have Schizophonic already, and SG5 did Inglorious for the BLM bonus disc. I don't know how often they did it though.

They didn't do it when I saw them :( They did do Do The Channel Bop though, which was cool.

You'll be happy with either of them though, I imagine.

[munky_magik]

Yea, well....They've yet to dissapoint me :)

[Shattered_Future]

Manowar, Dream Evil, Stratovarius, Children of Bodom, Norther, Kalmah (the last three are power, just with harsh vocals), Angra, Dragonforce, Helloween, Blind Guardian, Sinergy(more often than not), Nightwish.
I'll add more as I think of them...

Power Metal?

Iced Earth is great. So is Fintroll.

[Dude3]

What would you say is the best Nine Inch Nails album? I want to get one, and I'm leaning towards The Downward Spiral.

[Bartender]

Depends what you want. For example, The Downward Spiral is more rock/metal orientated, harder-edged material, though it does have softer, sometimes ambient, moments (including the world-slaying Hurt). The Fragile, on the other hand, is more or less the opposite; it's on the whole more experimental that TDS. It's also a double album, where TDS is single.

[Cocaine]

I just got the Kyuss album Blues for the Red Sun and was wondering if anyone can recommend me any similar bands/albums.

[Bartender]

Yeah, that was for you. Pay attention to more or less anything Give Me Beer recommends; unless he specifically states that it's not, then it's likely to be stoner rock in the vein you seem to be looking for.

Thanks :)

Hope you like them.

I shall try that I think. Do Industrial go under R&M? That was always a grey area to me I dunno.

I apologise for seeming rude and "you don't know anything about music" and stuff. :)

[Bartender]

Well, industrial is a weird genre; some of it can fit under R&M, but that's more industrial metal (the blend of two genres). Lots of it fist best under Other, I'd think.

[evilmenhavenosongs]

So you could say stuff like NIN would fit into R&M but you have to put stuff like KMDFM under Other. Based on a band by band basis. Righto. Thanks for clearing that up.

Hm, well just good guitar and singing...

bands like allister, the starting line, brand new, bowling for soup...

[Dancin' Man]

Good guitars and singing...
There are the obvious prog metal/rock bands like Dream Theater, Pain of Salvation, Dead Soul Tribe, Tool and Ayreon. Tool and Dead Soul Tribe are a little less amazing guitarwise, but those vocals are nicer. Well, Ayreon uses many vocalists, one being from Dream Theater and another from Dead Soul Tribe.

Then if that's not your style, you might want to try out nu-metal. In specific, System of a Down and The Deftones, though I like Chevelle quite a bit as well.

If you're a little more open minded, Arcturus, Ulver (early), Opeth, Agalloch, Solefald, Emperor (late), Age of Silence and Winds are all amazing.

Dredg, Soli i Sombra, The Mars Volta and Porcupine Tree are some of my favorite prog rock bands. This is probably the best category for someone not broken in to metal yet.

Genreally, Something Wicked This Way Comes is considered IE's best album. But, for the most part, I don't really see a massive gulf in quality between any of their releases, except the first two, and the most recent one, all of which are a big step down in quality. You definitely want an album with Barlow on, I can tell you that much.

You could always get The Blessed And The ****ed, which is a pretty good 'greatest hits'. It's a double disc, too, so more value for money.

Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk
IX Equilibrium

Which should I get?

[Dancin' Man]

Oh gee.... Well, Anthems To The Welkin at Dusk and IX Equilibrium are my favorite from that list but In The Nightside Eclips and Anthems to the Welkin At Dusk are considered Emperor's finest two albums by most. For $15 I'd buy those 3. Wrath of the Tyrant just isn't as good. If you really only want one, get Anthems.

[Deth]

Cheers. I'll see if I like Anthems and then move from there.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

A Change of Seasons. It's the EP CD, it's absolutely great. It has that one track with 3 Led Zeppelin covers combined into one track. It's sexy.


Actually, it's five tracks.

1. A Change Of Seasons
2. Funeral for a Friend - Love Lies Bleeding (Elton John live covers)
3. Perfect Strangers (Deep Purple live cover)
4. The Rover - Achilles Last Stand - The Song Remains the Same (Led Zeppelin live covers)
5. The Big Medley (Pink Floyd - In The Flesh, Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody, Kansas - Carry On My Wayward Son, and some other blues track that I can't remember the name too)

Wrath of the Tyrant just doesn't feel the way Emperor should.

[Silenius]

Hey guys. I just download four songs by Sonata Artica:
Replica
Black Sheep
Kingdom for a Heart
and Tallulah

I was wondering if anyone could reccomend me some other good songs by them, and also any bands like them or in the same genre.
Abandoned, Pleased, Brainwashed, Exploited is a good song by them.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

Bobo: The Led Zeppelin covers are all one track. That's what I was getting at, heh. Props for clarification, though.


Ah, from the way you put it or the way I read it, it seemed like you said the ep only had two tracks heh.

[LeperAffinity]

Here's my prediciment. I am new to Black Metal (meaning I have heard very little) but am open to almost anything. So I was searching around and on centurymedia.com, I saw these Emperor albums for only $5 each.

Wrath Of The Tyrant
In The Nightside Eclipse
Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk
IX Equilibrium

Which should I get?
Nightside first and foremost, followed by Anthems. After that, it's a toss up as to which you would rather have next.

[Diecex]

Recommend me some bands that Scream A Lot ( no punk, emo, sorta thing). I got the usual, Cradle of Filth, Hecate Enthroned.... I need more bands!!

[crossface]

[FlyingPaul_83]

Any black metallers? I want some new bands, I like the well known bands in the genre such as Gorgoroth, Burzum, Darkthrone. I really like Gorgoroths "Pentagram" and does anyone know about any other bands with vocals like that?

Go check out Winter Of Apokalypse - Solitary Winter Night if you want a really cold sounding black metal in the vein of Darkthrone but with fairly better production. 1349 - Liberation if you want a raw and fast black metal, or get some Graveland - Thousand Swords if you want a one man black metal band with a bit of a raw sound.

Those are all albums by the way.

[beaNN]

Cool thanks will check them out when I get home.

Try: Wait and Bleed, Spit it out, Duality, and My Plauge.

I believe that is a title track, so you could just get that album.

[peacesells1256]

can someone recomend me some Death?

[LeperAffinity]

Anything by Death is good. If you want straight up death metal, "Scream Bloody Gore", "Leprosy", or "Spiritual Healing". Progressive death metal, "Human", "Symbolic", or "Individual Thought Patterns". And for straight up progressive metal with a very slim death influence, "Sound of Perseverance".

[Dude3]

What would you guys say is a better Isis album to get?
Oceanic,
or,
Panopticon???
Thanks.

[MAthiAS]

can someone recomend me some Death?
Human's probably the best overall, its both very progressive and heavy, its really an amazing album with sick riffage. The Sound of Perseverance and Symbolic are great progressive death albums, still with their "in your face" moments though. All out aggression with less complexity? Scream Bloody Gore is the way to go.

[Dancin' Man]

Oceanic is a bit heavier but basically, get what's cheaper because you can't go wrong with either. Panopticon's songs have a tendency to be a bit longer than they need to be.

[PepsiMetal]

Someone recommend me some Black Label Society or any other similar bands. I heard the song suicide messiah and it was good. Also what genre are they? :confused:

[j_brown_12]

Check out Nine Black Alps from manchester england, some people decsribe them as nirvana-esque, im not so sure but check em out!!

IX Equilibrium

Honestly, I wouldn't get ir from century media. I ordered COB's Something Wild in Feb and it's May and I still havn't gotten it. As for the actual question, IX Equliburium is my personal favorite, but that's just my opinion.

If you go to www.uraniummusic.com, they have a couple of Vader downloads...

[MAthiAS]

What genre are Nevermore, and recommendations for them? Also whats a good Vader album to start with?

[AA-12]

What genre are Nevermore, and recommendations for them? Also whats a good Vader album to start with?
Nevermore is like Death Metal, but with a good amount of melody. That's what I considor them.

Also, I have a Vader album if you'd like it. (This is Josh by the way).

Nevermore is so far away from death metal it's not even funny...

Don't even speak if you don't know ok?

A little help: Any recommendations for Southern metal/sludge type bands. Those genres really suck so any bands that sound like the following:
Corrosion of Conformity
Down
Clutch
Early Grand Magus
and the likes..

[Bartender]

You might like Halfway to Gone. Maybe Nashville Pussy too, though I think they're a little poppier. I can do some uploads for them, if you like. I would recommend bands that seem to be associated with that whole area of music, like Crowbar, but I'm loathe to recommend something I've not heard.

I like those bands too, so you may like Danzig...although you probably know/are into them already.

Orange Goblin, good band, probably know of them already as well though.

Alabama Thunderpussy maybe worth a look into as well.

OH OH! LaMont!

[Bartender]

Oh yeah, Orange Goblin. I should really whore them more (and buy more of them).

They don't really have a southern sound, I think, but they fit in the general area, so yeah. Good band.
