v nice good work

I assume I can ask for recommendations here, so anyone know stuff like Tim Hecker?

[QUOTE=Deth;17055884]v nice good work

Fennesz, Oren Ambarchi, Machinefabriek, Aidan Baker, Ben Frost, William Basinski, Marsen Jules, Murcof, Keith Fullerton Whitman, Taylor Dupree...

Tyler 01-26-2009 10:55 AM

Kind of an open-ended request, but can anyone recommend me really dark sounding music, does not have to be metal-based. Looking for stuff with identifiable song structures, meaning traditional frameworks. Maybe something with folk, pop or electronic touches.

DaveMustaine12 01-26-2009 10:41 PM

That's a very good list. I will definitely check out thrash and power metal bands that I haven't checked out yet.
Could you add Cryptopsy to death metal section?

Have you heard Elend? Basically really dark orchestral compositions with a modern twist.

Tyler 01-26-2009 11:15 PM

They were described to me as some fruitcake band thta's all "Scary" and whatnot. I'll check them out, but I'm definitely not looking for that if its the case. You guys all fap over Rome, so basically stuff that sounds like "Querkraft". But for the love of god, don't recommend me a bunch of neo-martial army military pop industrial just because it's convenient. Y'know what I mean, though? Stuff that has that sort of ominous tone. Even like the new Hateful Abandon, just a little less South Park Goth-y. Or like Type O Negative, but without songs that go on three minutes too long and a vocalist who's probably masturbating while singing.

publicastration 01-26-2009 11:17 PM

ahh

Check out The Great Annihilator by Swans

hismajestythepope 01-27-2009 01:16 AM

Dillenger Escape Plan, Between The Buried And Me, Burst, Cursed, and As The Sun Sets totally need to be added to the metalcore reccs.

Clunge 01-27-2009 03:20 AM

What about bands in the Porcupine Tree/Tool/Oceansize mould?

I think there needs to be a category for them, somewhere inbetween prog and psychedelica.

pate 01-27-2009 07:56 AM

[QUOTE=Cocaine;17058139]Or like Type O Negative, but without songs that go on three minutes too long and a vocalist who's probably masturbating while singing.[/QUOTE]

Yes, I'd like something like this too.

Tyler 01-27-2009 07:19 PM

I heard it the first time, I plan on it.

Also, add Nick Cave's [I]Tender Prey[/I] as another style I'm looking for into that huge request I had last page.

RouteOne 01-27-2009 08:17 PM

Black Metal:

Bands you should like:
Ash pool
peste noire
Urfaust
Cryfemal
Sombres forets
sun of the sleepless
Leviathan
weakling (>:])
Xasthur (certain stuff)


edit: shi beaten to some

Angmar 01-27-2009 08:20 PM

We don't wanna have the list be too long, I wouldn't put Ash Pool, Xasthur, Wealking or Leviathing for new comer/expanding stuff.

Morumbar 02-01-2009 03:48 PM

So.. For the last few weeks I've been listening to Agalloch almost every day.. :lol: Anyone know any similar bands?

Tyler 02-01-2009 04:03 PM

post it in every thread why don't you?

Woods of Ypres are like a worse but still decent Canadian Agalloch.

I'm looking for some really vicious intense music, like Pageninetynine kind of stuff but without the breaks.

recs?

Si1v3RfaNg 02-03-2009 02:30 PM

BTBAM not in progressive section? Why is this so?

Tyler 02-03-2009 02:40 PM

[QUOTE=Luc214;17074783]I'm looking for some really vicious intense music, like Pageninetynine kind of stuff but without the breaks.

So, like, screamo without breaks, or what? Can you get a wee bit more precise?

willfellmarsy 02-03-2009 08:57 PM

I really like Acturus and maudlin of the Well and to some extent Unexpect...where can i go next in the avante-garde-ish metal world?

Meatplow 02-03-2009 09:00 PM

Though they are less focused on the metal side of thing, I suggest the Satanique Samba Trio. Misantropicalia or Sangrou.

Tyler 02-03-2009 09:03 PM

Avant Garde is a ridiculous guideline, but I'll try my best:

Sigh (Imaginary Sonicscape, Hail Horror Hail, Gallows Gallery)
Ordo Draconis (Camera Obscura Pt. I & II)
Ved Buens Ende (Written in Waters)
Ram-Zet (Escape)
Solefald (In Harmonia Universali)
Age of Silence (Acceleration)
Psychopathology Orchestra (Valses de l'orchestre psychiatrique de Dijon)

willfellmarsy 02-03-2009 09:20 PM

yea i kno it's a tuff guideline but iv been digging it a lot recently...thanks for the recs...all iv heard is Sigh who i liked but they didnt really grip me

Tyler 02-03-2009 09:22 PM

[QUOTE=willfellmarsy;17077712]yea i kno it's a tuff guideline but iv been digging it a lot recently...thanks for the recs...all iv heard is Sigh who i liked but they didnt really grip me[/QUOTE]

Have you heard the Sigh album's I recc'd? Because their albums are all different

willfellmarsy 02-03-2009 09:26 PM

i heard imaginary sonicscape based on your rec from the past i believe...i'll check out the others...also, are these albums difficult to find...by that i mean u recd me like 10 bands in the past (one being tooh or something to that effect) and i couldnt really locate any of their stuff

Tyler 02-03-2009 09:28 PM

The Psychopathology Orchestra might be hard to find but the others shouldn't be difficult at all.

willfellmarsy 02-03-2009 09:30 PM

thats wut i was gunna look for first based on band name alone...noted and thanks a bunch

publicastration 02-04-2009 06:02 PM

[QUOTE=Cocaine;17076509]So, like, screamo without breaks, or what?[/QUOTE]

pretty much, but really intense ****, not like Hot Cross.

Meatplow 02-04-2009 11:06 PM

i need some medieval classical music which has been recorded that is not Hildegard or Machaut
