Out of ideas, some help would be nice

[Josh D.]

I don't hang around the forums really, just the reviews, so if this thread is "illegal", act accordingly.

Anyway, I sometimes have a hard time finding new music that I really like. I haven't found anything really interesting for a while.

Here is a short list of what I have recently started to dig into:

Becoming the Archetype
Monstrosity
Protest the Hero
The Red Chord*
Deicide*
Insomnium

* = not sure how I feel about them

I have been listening to this type of stuff for a while, so throw out any suggestions besides black metal (sorry, just not a fan).

And once again, feel free to delete the thread if this isn't "good enough" for a thread.

Thanks for any feedback.

[Sleepy]

Uh...

Try Mudvayne.

[Josh D.]

Wow.

[i am the robots]

Capharnaum
Despised Icon
Ion Dissonance
Job For A Cowboy
Blood Red Throne
Converge

[GenuineImitation]

You may want to check out the Daily Upload we have in R&M. You recieve 10 albums a day in your email and they are mainly rock and metal, but you get some other stuff like jazz, punk, blues, alternative, classical etc. in there. Definitely worth looking into in my opinion.

You may like At the Gates, Nevermore, Opeth, Children of Bodom, Kalmah, Botch, Between the Buried and Me and In Flames. Just a few to get you started.

[Nepenthe]

At The Gates and Carcass

/thread

[i am the robots]

Forgot, Animosity... and All Shall Perish.

[Josh D.]

Capharnaum
Despised Icon
Ion Dissonance
Job For A Cowboy
Blood Red Throne
Converge

I have heard all but Blood Red, but thanks, I may check that out.

I'm not new to heavy metal btw, don't let my horrible choice of a username fool you.

All those accounted for.

I should point out that I mainly looking for death metal these days more than anything. Go for more obscurity like some of the bands I listed.

[Sleepy]

Protest the Hero is still better than just about every band mentioned thus far.

Maybe some Slipknot?

[Josh D.]

Just....go away.

[Cocaine]

There aren't really any acts similar to PTH other than maybe Thrice/Propagandhi with their old ****. But whatever, here are some general recommendations based on what I think you'll like, based on those artists and your taste in general.

Autumn Leaves - As Night Conquers Day (Melo-Death, not unlike Insomnium, though there's a lot more \m/ and a lot less stfu)
Decapitated - Winds of Creation (awesome thrash influenced death metal, a lot like Monstrosity. Snare is annoying, but whatever)
Disillusion - Back to Times of Splendor (One of the best progressive death metal album's you'll hear)
Arghoslent - Incorrigible Bigotry (Incredibly racist but the riffs will make you realize why this album is damn near unmatched death metal. Melodic without pussyfooting, and seriously, the leads are like Iron Maiden on speed)
Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal (Crushing death metal)
Burst - Origo (Is it Metalcore? Sludge? Whatever, it's good)
Burning Inside - The Eve of the Entities (The drumming is unbelievable and it's tech death that wont make you want to kill yourself)
Capharnaum - Fractured (Awesome techy death metal right out of the florida scene. Yeah, Heafy does vocals, but they're not nearly as gay as Trivium's. I guarantee it's worth a listen)
Cephalic Carnage - Anomalies (A more badass Red Chord)

okay im bored that's it, and I only made it to D!

[Sleepy]

Just....go away.

Chill, no need to take everything so seriously...

Try these albums:

Decapitated - Winds of Creation
The Locust - New Erections
The Faceless - Akeldama

And just look into related bands from there. Decapitated is sort of old-school death, but still really well done, not as sloppy as some of their predecessors. The Locust is spastic, superspeed grindcore with a lot of electronic elements, and The Faceless are sort of a Tech-Death-Core band that's really enjoyable, and I hardly ever listen to metal.

[Josh D.]

Ok, well that should do for a while. Thanks for all the real answers, and Sleepy, don't worry, I expected some of that from someone.

[GleamInRanks]

Out of curiosity, which Red Chord album do you have mudvaynian. Oh and Burst is excellent.

Yeah your review got me re-interested in 'em

And if you have "Clients", throw it out and get "Fused..."

[Josh D.]

I have "Fused...", I just don't know what to make of the music due to it's chaos.

[Cocaine]

You just have to listen*, it's not really fit for background music until you're used to what's there. I'd say that goes with most albums though.

*It sounds like I'm patronizing you but I swear I'm not

[Josh D.]

No, it's not patronizing, I figured that's the problem. Later, I'm gonna throw on my headphones and take a closer "look" at it.

Also, Decapitated isn't too bad.

[UpperDecker]

I have "Fused...", I just don't know what to make of the music due to it's chaos.

U talking about The Red Chord? That cd is great.

[Josh D.]

Yeah, we were.

[Cocaine]

Also, Decapitated isn't too bad.

Winds of Creation is the perfect headbanging album. I mean, I don't headbang because I'm not a faggot, but if I did I would do it to that album. Their other stuff is meh, especially the new one.

[Josh D.]

I am getting pretty much their whole discography so I will just have to see.

Also, Capharnaum is great. The music is excellent.

[Cocaine]

Yeah, hard to believe Matt Heafy is involved, hah.

[Josh D.]

That's what I was thinking.

[antihippy]

mirrorthrone?

maudlin of the well?

fantomas?

meshuggah?

[Cocaine]

mirrorthrone?

maudlin of the well?

fantomas?

meshuggah?

1. meh
2. nothing like what he asked for
3. one good album and it's all covers
4. MEH

[Josh D.]

I agree with about all of that, except 3, which I know nothing about.

[TojesDolan]

Uh...

Try Mudvayne.
¬_¬

I redirected this guy from being flamed by the idiots in the pit into this?

...

lel

[Josh D.]

That's a prime example why I need that name change.

[i am the robots]

Clients is good too...

[Josh D.]

I will probably be getting that eventually.

[Cocaine]

Clients is good too...

No ew wtf faget no it's not.

Well it has some cool **** but ughwtfhappened?

[Josh D.]

Well, it won't hurt anyway. I still need to give "Fused..." a few more good listens first.

[antihippy]

1. meh
2. nothing like what he asked for
3. one good album and it's all covers
4. MEH


1.not meh
2.still a good band
3.no, they have 4 good albums, but i'm a mike patton fanboy so, yeah. check them out anyway if you like schizophrenic metal that breaks and rearrange the rules of songwriting.
4.your mom is meh:mad: seriosuly though, check this band out.

[Cocaine]

3.no, they have 4 good albums, but i'm a mike patton fanboy so, yeah. check them out anyway if you like schizophrenic metal that breaks and rearrange the rules of songwriting.
I'm a mike patton fanboy too and Fantomas have one good album.

The S/T has like three "pages" worth listening to on a regular basis, same for the latest, and Delirium Cordia is hardly music. I'd hardly consider Lombardo going nuts while Mike Patton makes puke noises to be "rearranging the rules of songwriting".

1.not meh

One exceptional song with about 2 hours worth of music = meh

4.your mom is meh
Maybe but even her nagging isn't as incessantly irritating as meshuggah's stupid music

theradstater:

Holy hell, what is that?

I'll just browse some Celine Dion hits.

fair enough. i seem to be the only one who really enjoys delirium cordia and suspended animation. i suggested mirrorthrone cos he might like the whole symphonic black metal thing. and i'm also a meshuggah fanboy so....

btw, check out emperor too.

hmm yeah im not really into jazz atm and especially not into small group stuff thanks though =)

[antihippy]

hiromi is good. hot too.

[Josh D.]

Don't like black metal, but I do have Carriers of Dust, some is good, the rest isn't.

[Josh D.]

Whatever, I'm listening to Benny Mardones right now anyway.

Go ahead and throw out some more death metal if you've got it.

[antihippy]

gorguts.

[Josh D.]

Hmmmm.....

Describe please.

[antihippy]

really hard to...... they're like a brutal death metal band with really strange riffing. it pops and squels everywhere. gets annoying sometimes, but once it sinks in, its pretty brilliant.

[TojesDolan]

Gorguts is good.

Necrophobic is good musics too.

[Futuro]

Man her drummer is sick.

[Josh D.]

I can't find any site with Cephalic Carnage. I use 3 different ones, and none of them have any.

[Cocaine]

Gorguts "Obscura" is one of the worst albums I've ever heard.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

yeah, Obscura sucks. If you something similar to Suffocation, then you might like earlier Gorguts albums though.

[Josh D.]

I wasn't going to look into them anyway. The name is a big turn off.

[Cocaine]

Their other stuff is decent, but Obscura is the musical equivalent of someone strangling a cat and turning the blender on and off.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The name is a big turn off.
not really any better or worse than any other DM band.

[Josh D.]

Tyler, know where I can get Cephalic Carnage?

[Josh D.]

not really any better or worse than any other DM band.

I beg to differ. I like many DM names.

EDIT: Ok, maybe not many.

[Cocaine]

Tyler, know where I can get Cephalic Carnage?

I only have a link for their new one, which is solid but not their best. Check AIM.

[antihippy]

Gorguts "Obscura" is one of the worst albums I've ever heard.

blasphemy!:eek:

alright, i'll admit that it does get annoying from time to time, but i really love the strange riffs they make. the vocals could be better though.

[Josh D.]

I'll skip it anyway.

This Zanaflex is wearing off.

Also, the Astros will find any way to lose.

[antihippy]

well, if you change you mind and decided to check it out, here's a link

lo-fi, but tis the best i could do.
