Looking For New Bands...Need Help

[BrokenChains]

I'm trying to find some new rock to metal style bands to listen to. I'm looking for metal bands more so but, if it's a good hard rock band I won't be complaining. Here are some main requirements so I don't have to try and figure them out all myself with every band you give me.

I don't want to listen to any bands who are satanic...I can do regular secular groups but I have my limits. I don't want to be given any screamo or metalcore bands. With metalcore it's not the music that bothers me, it's the death growling you can't understand that bugs me. If they scream some as an accent to the song, I can deal with that though...like what Pillar does, or the old 12 Stones did.

To give you a better idea of the type of singers I like, here are several videos with my favorite vocalists. They are ranked from best to worst.

Chad Kroeger of Nickelback

Sully Erna of Godsmack

Corey Taylor of Stone Sour and Slipknot

James Hetfield of Metallica

So obviously you can tell I prefer male singers, who actually sound like men when they sing.

Musically I like diversity in the music...but I'm more willing to judge that on my own.

Here's a short list of some of my favorite bands

Metallica
Pillar
Megadeth
Chevelle
Godsmack
Nickelback
Stone Sour
Slipknot

[guitrguy]

[Angmar]

I think there is hope to transform your music taste into good taste, but it is gonna be some hard work.

[alurny]

/slowly backs out of thread

Though check out Black Label Society.

That sucks.

[i am the robots]

In that case listen to Alesana.

[Permanent Solution]

And Chiodos.



OK guys but enough fooling, get this kid into good music asap.

[i am the robots]

Okay,
Step one: delete your entire music library.
Step two: download Son, I Loved You At Your Darkest

[Luc214]

Protest The Hero

[i am the robots]

No, that band is gay.

[jrowa001]

Clutch. dont be dumb and listen to some Opeth

[Luc214]

No, that band is gay.

Go **** yourself in the *** with your mom's ****.

[i am the robots]

With my mom's dildo you say?

Go back to the Globe, Bethlehem boy, OH WAIT THAT PLACE IS GONE BECAUSE IT WAS GAYER THAN PROTEST THE HERO.

[ZapatoDiablo]

You might like some Porcupine Tree - check out In Absentia, Deadwing or Fear of a Blank Planet based on what you have up there.

[Luc214]

With my mom's dildo you say?

****

Go back to the Globe, Bethlehem boy, OH WAIT THAT PLACE IS GONE BECAUSE IT WAS GAYER THAN PROTEST THE HERO.

Nothing is gayer than the queercore you call music.

[i am the robots]

Lies.

[static]

I like Protest The Hero.

[i am the robots]

[static]

[Monticello]

Rise Against
Reuben
High On Fire
Fair To Midland
And Protest The Hero are awesome.

/thread

[Against Miik!]

Chimaira perhaps? They are a bit lame, but hey, it's a progression.

And PTH is pretty much one of the greatest things in the popular music scene these days.

[i am the robots]

Skycamefalling
7 Angels 7 Plagues
Prayer For Cleansing
Converge
Botch
Overcast
Aftershock
Today Is The Day

[Luc214]

are you blind?

He said he wants clean vocals.

[i am the robots]

Those bands only have clean vocals.

And joking aside, he might actually like Overcast.

[ween2424]

Whoring my band once again, but I think you'll like my singer.

[Charizard]

[StreetlightRock]

OKokok. Most of these guys are throwing you in the deep end.

You probably want to start with some power metal or thrash, (mostly) clean vocals, and lots of fun to listen to.

Iron Maiden (if you havn't yet listened to them...)
Dream Theater
Pantera
Kamelot
Blind Guardian
Cacophony
Slayer
Children of Bodom
And yeah, try out some Protest the Hero

Go!

[AA-12]

epic thread

[Charizard]

Serious suggestions:
Exodus
Overcast
Anthrax
Zombie Apocalyspe
Shadows Fall
Celtic Frost

[JumpTheF**kUp]

CONVERGE


kgo

[Treebeard]

Protest The Hero

The Lord Weird Slough Feg.

Definitely give these a go. From The Lord Weird Slough Feg I recommend first checking out their Traveller album.

[SugarCoatedSour]

Skycamefalling
7 Angels 7 Plagues
Prayer For Cleansing
Converge
Botch
Overcast
Aftershock
Today Is The Day

I commend you. This is better than everything listed in this forum.

[Charizard]

I love Today Is The Day, but they're not better than every metal band, sry.

<-i am the robots

[Poet]

OKokok. Most of these guys are throwing you in the deep end.

Children of Bodom

Go!

LOL....I see where you put (mostly) clean vocals, but Children of Bodom?? I love em, but they are far from being clean vocals at all.

To add, Godsmack was the band that got me started on the hard rock scene and brought me to the metal scene. For some good quality bands I'd recommend

Tarot (Marco Hietala is a god)
Lost Horizon (Power Metal at its best)

um....I am not a big fan of some of these guys but you could always check out

Sevendust
Killswitch Engage
Trivium
Breaking Benjamin


Again, with the exception of Breaking Benjamin, I am not a fan of those other bands, but from what I can tell you like, those are good places to start.

[Riva]

Well, since you want vocalists who sound like men when they sing, ignore 99% of these suggestions.

In fact, go for Tarot and (The Lord Weird) Slough Feg, and see what you think.

[masterchaos]

Sevendust

123

Im pretty sure thread starter would enjoy some Nonpoint. All* of their albums are solid.


* Except "Development", that album blew.

[Riva]

Also, I can recommend Therapy?, The Wildhearts and Grand Magus, as some excellent hard rock bands.

[Charizard]

Don't forget Exodus and Celtic Frost, fag.

[masterchaos]

I dont think thats the stuff he is looking for...Exodus maybe

[JumpTheF**kUp]

In all seriousness, Avenged Sevenfold's City of Evil would be right up your alley.

[Jom]

I like Nickelback, Corey Taylor, and Sully Erna, as well as Chevelle and Pillar.

And I'm going to ****ing cap some asses if nobody posts after me :mad:

[Charizard]

I doubt he'll like Lostprophets or Taproot, the vocals are probably not "manly" enough.

[Jom]

okay well there are over forty bands there i'm sure he'll like at least one and hate the rest

[Charizard]

True. I was just pointing out ones with my vocal prefence: see the extreme opposite of his.

[Wodk08]

Nickelback is by fart the Sh*tiest band in the world. Godsmack is just gayer than AIDS. Slipknot is just a bunch of downtuned guitars with guys hitting tin cans. Metallica is the only one on the list that is good.

Why don't you go do yourself a favor and buy some Between the Buried and Me, Opeth, Baroness, Slayer, Avenged Sevenfold, Arch Enemy, and Darkest Hour because what you are listening to now sounds worse than one of my big fat nutty turds hitting the toilet water.

[Charizard]

Calm down there sweetie pie!

Listen to 88 Fingers Louie

[SugarCoatedSour]

Wow, all the nu-metal's been covered. If you want some new-metal type music that's pioneering listen to Today is the day - Supernova, Willpower. These two albums somehow slipped by everyones attention, don't let the same happen to you. This is one awesome conceptual noise metal band at least during it's beginning stages.

[Wodk08]

sorry dude I just have a beef with Nickelback. I just hate everything about them there is no talent there.

[Charizard]

They're really good at writing dumb rock music that will keep boring people at boring shows.

very true.:chug:
