Lately i've been on a strange but awesome sci-fi binge. I'm looking for metal (any genre, really) that is heavily influenced by sci-fi related themes. That can mean lyrics or music. gogogo

Machinae Supremacy - Redeemer. Although it's kind of more video game metal.

And for hip hop, Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030 and Dr. Octagon - Dr. Octagonecologyst.

I think.

btw, no offence Josh, but this thread is pretty gay, just saying.

Oh ok.

Get the 2 hip hop albums I recommended, even if they're not all that sci-fi (especially Deltron 3030, that's a mad good album).

Yeah, I love Del already. I was going to get the other one before but didn't for some reason. I'll be on it soon.

Ziltoid The Omniscient by Devin Townsend is gonna feature heavily in this thread :lol:

I'd also suggest Insects Among Us by Jordan Rudess - not overly metal, but definatly sci-fi

Ayreon is full of Sci-Fi themes. Try The Human Equation, Universal Migrator and Into the Electric Castle

I hate to bring back lol memories but Nocturnus comes to mind, they're like anti-christian/sci-fi, which is pretty metal.

The song Wykydtron by 3 Inches of Blood is about a killer robot from the future.

Some of Bal-Sagoth's material is space-themed. Not hard sci-fi material by any stretch of the imagination though.

I'm afraid I know the pseudo-medieval bands way better in accordance with my own literary tastes, so I leave you only with:

EDIT - Maybe Gamma Ray?

Dr. Octagon is like Del but weirder and better. I you like Del you will probably dig it.

and I second the Agent Steel rec.

A lot of Wormed's ideas are scientifically based, that doesn't necessarily make them sci-fi.

Well, cool, but only one album. King of the Nordic Twilight was fantasy and the other one was some astrological-based bullshit. :)
