singthewordhope: Modern Metal Recommendations Anyone?

singthewordhope 05.17.11	I know these are all pretty well known bands but that's why I need your help! I'm not looking for anything specific, just recommend whatever metal you guys think is essential from recent years, I need to get started somewhere! Thanks in advance.
Hawks 05.17.11	Immolation - Majesty and Decay Funebrarum - The Sleep of Morbid Dreams Dead Congregation - Graves of the Archangels De Magia Veterum - The Divine Antithesis Deathspell Omega - Paracletus Weapon - From the Devil's Tomb Stench of Decay - Where Death and Decay Reign
singthewordhope 05.17.11	Thanks man, I'll start looking into those
Hawks 05.17.11	No problem. Those are just a few that I thought of off the top of my head. Didn't wanna overwhelm you with a million recs. Welcome to the site though. You seem to have pretty good taste.
AngelofDeath 05.17.11	The three best post-2000 black metal albums imo: Peste Noire - La Sanie des siecles Paysage d'Hiver - Paysage d'Hiver Drudkh - Autumn Aurora
singthewordhope 05.17.11	Thanks for the welcome Hawks, I look forward to talking about music with people who know their stuff. And thanks as well Angel, black metal was the genre I was most curious about since I haven't heard much mention at all of modern stuff. Whenever I've toured with metal bands the guys always seem to be talking about the old classics.
alachlahol 05.17.11	blackened Dragged Into Sunlight - Hatred For Mankind (blackened sludge) Destroyer 666 - Cold Steel... For An Iron Age (blackened thrash) Portal - Outre (blackened death)
Hawks 05.17.11	I second all of Angels' recs and also Destroyer 666 and Portal as Alachlahol mentioned. Also, for modern black metal: Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain Primordial - To the Nameless Dead Enslaved - Vertebrae Immortal - Sons of Northern Darkness Chthonic - Seediq Bale Nokturnal Mortum - The Voice of Steel An Autumn for Crippled Children - Lost October Falls - The Womb of Primordial Nature Cold Body Radiation - The Great White Emptiness Winterfylleth - The Mercian Sphere Wodensthrone - Loss
CrowsZero 05.17.11	welcome to the site and these are old & modern metalcore: counterparts-prophets the ghost inside amia venera landscape august burns red-constellations the syncope threshold-tale of complex circuit 7 Angels 7 Plagues Poison The Well skycamefalling
singthewordhope 05.17.11	I own Unchain the Wolves from Destroyer 666, it's pretty cool. I'll definitely grab the one alachlahol mentioned. And thanks again, I'll slowly start working through all of these
singthewordhope 05.17.11	and CrowsZero, I'm good for metalcore, I listen to a lot of it. thanks for the welcome though!
CrowsZero 05.17.11	oh yea and i forgot to mention Botch, Isis, and Shai Hulud. do you already know these bands?
Emim 05.17.11	Death Metal: Obliteration - Perpetual Decay Ulcerate - Everything is Fire Metalcore: Spitfire - The Dead Next Door Botch - We Are the Romans
Emim 05.17.11	Oh, misunderstood what you meant by "I'm good for metalcore", lol. Both those albums are fantastic and worth a listen though.
Aids 05.17.11	Strapping Young Lad - City
singthewordhope 05.17.11	yeah man I own both and they rule. I'll definitely check out those two DM recommendations though, so thanks and Crows, yes, I listen to all three! how does isis fit in with the other bands you mentioned though? I've heard oceanic and it's post metal, do they have metalcore stuff too?
Emim 05.17.11	"yeah man I own both and they rule." Awesome, not too many people seem to know about Spitfire. I also heavily second Strapping Young Lad
CrowsZero 05.17.11	yea i misunderstood aboout "im good for metalcore" too. no isis isn't metalcore, but i like them a lot and just mentioned it lol. can you rec me some good post rock? bcs im fucking bored with metalcore these days
Maniac! 05.17.11	sup hawks
PostModernJellyfish 05.17.11	Krieg- The Isolationaist Anything by Gnaw Their Tongues Woe- Quietly, Undramaticaly Anything by Insomnium
Hyperion1001 05.17.11	Except that Woe album sucks.
PostModernJellyfish 05.17.11	I thought it was alright. but I'll suggest the new Atlantean Kodex album also. Epic fucking album.
singthewordhope 05.17.11	crows, if you're new to post rock, maybe check out the following: Slint - Spiderland Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada Yndi Halda - Enjoy Eternal Bliss Russian Circles - Enter
Hyperion1001 05.17.11	This is a pretty cool list though, i won't rec because most of it has already been covered in the other recs.
InAbsentia 05.17.11	Needs moar Opeth
DominionMM1 05.17.11	I see you already have Neurosis' 'Through Silver In Blood', so as a Neurosis fanman, I'd be remiss if I didn't recommend getting the rest of their discography.
Psychopathologist 05.17.11	underoath dude
TomLobban 05.17.11	Modern Bodies By Chickenhawk (they have since changed their name to Hawk Eyes.) it is streaming at http://chickenhawk.bandcamp.com/ or just listen on Spotify or youtube or something. The best songs are: Hate this do you like it, Scorpieau, son of Cern.
campisi5 05.17.11	BTBAM - Colors
PostModernJellyfish 05.17.11	Anything by Isis.
Adabelle 05.17.11	I saw Chickenhawk in Leeds last November, bassist is freaking cool.
PostModernJellyfish 05.17.11	Don't for get Souls At Zero by Neurosis. Great album, as well.
sifFlammable 05.17.11	Off the top of my head, Mitochondrion, Nadja, and Blut Aus Nord (don't have my library in front of me)
singthewordhope 05.17.11	thanks guys
NarkalepticNinja 05.19.11	Draconian- Goth/Doom; original band name Kerberos, original genre - melodic death metal. Mirrorthrone - Black Metal, Death Metal, Progressive Sacramentum - Melodic Black Metal (especially Far Away From the Sun album). Autumn Leaves - extreme and melodic death metal that will blow you away. Eucharist - The 5th founder of Melodic death (I do count Carcass), they balanced melody and brutality perfectly and even have their own spin on the genre. Fear Factory is still great Sleep - Stoner metal. Arcturus - Definitely go for the Sham Mirrors album. Unexpect - Avant-Garde extreme metal, definitely worth a listen. Anyways those are bands right off the top of my head. I could rec you so much more but I dont want to overload you at once.
