[QUOTE=Med57]Sure..if you want an album, then get [i]Battle Hymns[/i] or [i]Kings Of Metal[/i]. Both are ludicrously over the top, but absolutely brilliant examples of the genre.

In terms of songs, I'd recommend

[i]The Gods Made Heavy Metal
Fighting The World
Blow Your Speakers
Dark Avenger
Hail To England
The Crown And The Ring
Flight Of The Bumblebee[/i][/QUOTE]

Ah okay, Thanks again.

Can anyone reccomend me some Machine Head, Cynic and Cryptocracy(sp?)? Albums and Songs, Thanks.

[QUOTE=The Cynic]Can anyone reccomend me some Machine Head, Cynic and Cryptocracy(sp?)? Albums and Songs, Thanks.[/QUOTE]


[U]Cryptocracy? Maybe you mean Cryptopsy...[/U]

Well, their first two albums, Blasphemy Made Flesh and None So Vile are both amazing, and the new one isnt bad, bud I'd ignore the ones in between. Some good songs are

- Slit Your Guts
- Open Face Surgery
- Gravaged (A Cryptopsy)
- Orgiastic Disembowelment
- Phobophile

[U]Cynic.[/U]

Cynic only really had one album, if you dont consider the few demos floating around. Anyways, that album is focus and it's unbelievable, I'd seriously recommend anything off of it, but here are a few standouts.

Songs:

- Textures
- Veil Of Maya
- Celestial Voyage.

I can't help with the Machine Head, though, sorry.

[QUOTE=The Cynic]Can anyone reccomend me some Machine Head, Cynic and Cryptocracy(sp?)? Albums and Songs, Thanks.[/QUOTE]

For would Machine Head I would recommend Burn My Eyes. The problem with Machine Head in my opinion is that they have done maybe 15 excellent songs, spread over all their albums, with average songs used as if for fillers. Possibly no one else will agree though.

Some good songs are davidan, elegy, struck nerve, from this day, imperium.

[QUOTE=custom>standard]Can anyone recommend me some more power metal? I heard kamelot's epica and didnt really like it. It seemed to watered down. But ive also been listening to falconer and there awsome. So what other power metal should i get?[/QUOTE]

my favorite kamelot song is center of the universe. maybe epica just isnt a good song. the black halo is good too.

for more power metal bands, check out the gigantour. idont know if they come where you live but just do a search or try gigantour.com

[QUOTE=GillaBruja666 (2)]The Berzerker, for our more 'extreme' metal-fans.
A bloody brilliant band, but you have to like that kind of music.

The Berzerker is amazing... Is there anything new from them ?

Personally with machinehead id suggest eathier 'Through the Ashes of Empires or 'Hellalive'

[QUOTE=Artificial_color_added]The Berzerker is amazing... Is there anything new from them ?[/QUOTE]

I believe there's a new album in the works, if not already released.

I think they just released it, within the last couple of months at least. [i]World of Lies[/i], I think is the title.

Sorry about the spelling and thanks for the info.

One last one, Blind Guardian. Excellent, excellent band (don't know if they were already mentioned).

I'm looking to get into Lux Occulta. Which album should I get first?

[QUOTE=CocaineAndCrucifixes]I'm looking to get into Lux Occulta. Which album should I get first?[/QUOTE]
Dionysos

[QUOTE=Doctor Night]Hey, Can someone Reccomend me some nice new THRASH METAL?

Other than the 'Big Four(Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer)', please.[/QUOTE]


pantera man.....they defineatly deserve to be in the top four :thumb:

Thanks for all the responses guys. Ill definatley check em out:) .

Can someone give me a band similar to Overkill.

[QUOTE=custom>standard]Can anyone recommend me some more power metal? I heard kamelot's epica and didnt really like it. It seemed to watered down. But ive also been listening to falconer and there awsome. So what other power metal should i get?[/QUOTE]

Children Of Bodom are awesome. Oh, so are Kalmah if they are classed as power metal.

[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]Can someone give me a band similar to Overkill.[/QUOTE]

Now this [I]is[/I] tough. These came to my mind but are possibly inaccurate:
Metal Church
Razor
early Annihilator

I'm sure the guys in the thrash thread will be much more helpful :p

[QUOTE=Basstallica]pantera man.....they defineatly deserve to be in the top four :thumb:[/QUOTE]

They're not thrash, and the Big Four is the Big Four, whether you think they're the top four or not.

[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]Can someone give me a band similar to Overkill.[/QUOTE]
That's tough... I could give you a whole heap of thrash bands, but none really sound like Overkill to me, and I don't have heaps of Overkill.

RCA is the resident Overkill fanboy. Ask him.

[QUOTE=Fullysick metal man]What would anybody consider to be the most destructofying explodofying and most unlistinable extreme music known to man?

one that would create such an awsome wall of sound that it would shatter n00b ears upon first listening.

Black/death/grind whatever would be acceptable


i'm using this as an example of what kind of noise explosions i'm looking for as its the most extreme example in my (limited) music collection.

[url]http://musica.mustdie.ru/en/band/gorgoroth/3845/[/url][/QUOTE]
Atari Teenage Riot's Burn. Burlin, Burn! This is the heaviest mess of noise that i have heard in a long time.

I guess I'll check the Trash Thread then. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Stoic and Apocalyptic Raids.

[QUOTE=Stoic]Now this [I]is[/I] tough. These came to my mind but are possibly inaccurate:

I´d add Nuclear Assault and Forbidden to that list.Not really THAT similar,but if you like Overkill you´ll usually like those two as well.

Led Zeppelin-Physical Graffiti
Led Zeppelin-Presence
Ratm-The Battle Of Los Angeles
Slipknot 9.0 Live
Pink Floyd-Dark Side Of The Moon

My Top 5

Thanks in advanced.

Agalloch, Farmakon and Disillusion might work :)

Also add Novembre and The Provenance to Stoic's list.
