^hey good to see you around again :)

Aghora and Sleep Terror would do as well.

[QUOTE=cjborton]Cynic is similar, but I prefer Athiest.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Txus]Cynic
Pestilence

The only one's I can think of at the moment.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=CocaineAndCrucifixes]Alarum is the next best bet.

Coprofago are like a mix of Meshuggah and Atheist, but their name is pretty silly. You could also try out Yakuza; they're a Hardcore/Metalcore group with free-jazz sax parts. Miles Daviscore, I guess you could call it, hah.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=munky_magik]Try Canvas Solaris. They're instrumental though.[/QUOTE]
Cheers guys, and Ali instrumental is no problem.

Orestes, I know Sleep Terror already but I'll try and check out Aghora.

Can anybody reccomend me some slow songs? Somewhat along the lines of Opeth's Damnation.

Woohoo, me and my girlfriend caught a Therapy? drum stick, we had to fight like 5 minutes for it, though, there were people stuck on it. All in all a cool gig.

Haha. :lol:



Therapy? fanboy. :p

(The avatar is pretty cool.)

Whoops, wrong thread, haha.

[QUOTE=Mazeppa]Can anybody recommend any bands similar to Ephel Duath or Atheist? I really like the jazzy and progressive elements.[/QUOTE]

Try out the last two albums by Lux Occulta, [I]Mother and the Enemy[/I] and [I]My Guardian Anger[/I].

Yeah I was wondering that too... :p


As to slow songs, try some doom metal like Candlemass and Isole.

[QUOTE=The Cynic]Can anybody reccomend me some slow songs? Somewhat along the lines of Opeth's Damnation.[/QUOTE]

The only band that I can recommend that's anything like Opeth would be Woods Of Ypres. Though I'm not a huge Opeth fan, I will say not many bands sound at all like them. Even Woods is VERY different, but if you like Opeth you should like them.

[QUOTE=The Cynic]Can anybody reccomend me some slow songs? Somewhat along the lines of Opeth's Damnation.[/QUOTE]

King Crimson's [i]Discipline[/i]? I don't know, man. That's a tough album to emulate.

I have other recommendations that would be more along the lines of Opeth's other albums...and that is November's Doom and My Dying Bride.

I just want some soft slow songs. Kinda like Nickelbacks Hero or something. Just in the mood for those types of songs.

Slow?

Then you want more recent Katatonia, Anathema, Agalloch, November's Doom (slow but heavy), Pelican, and [b]The Devin Townsend Band[/b].

Devy is great when you need a break from typical metal.

Yea, but Devy's not acoustic in any sense of the word. Happy/uplifting, yes, but he's still mad heavy.

Slow soft songs? Even though she's not really like Opeth in any way, Tori Amos is always good for some great chill music.

[QUOTE=The Cynic]I just want some soft slow songs. Kinda like Nickelbacks Hero or something. Just in the mood for those types of songs.[/QUOTE]
Try Pinapple Thief.

(Time to throw out my obligatory folk/viking recommendations)

Try Ulver's Kveldssanger or Empyrium's Where At Night The Wood Grousse Plays. Both are completely acoustic, and soothing and beautiful as hell.

EDIT: Ack, wrong album :lol: It's corrected now.

Nerina Pallot - Damascus

/first thing I thought of

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]Is 'Hero' the Superman song?[/QUOTE]

I thought it was Spiderman...:confused:

Yeah, it's spider man.

Go with Green Carnation's [I]Acoustic Verses[/I] for the slow recommendation.

I thought the hero song involving superman was Five For Fighting - Superman (It's Not Easy).

[QUOTE=Riva]I thought the hero song involving superman was Five For Fighting - Superman (It's Not Easy).[/QUOTE]
You are correct sir.

For soft accousitic stuff go for Opeth-Damnation or Pink Moon by Nick Drake.

His original suggestion was asking for things in the vein of Damnation...

Either way, I stand by my recommendation; Green Carnation - Acoustic Verses

Oops, didn't see that. Good suggestion BTW.

Don't see you a lot anymore in the R&M. :wave:



me = high_voltage_acdc since I don't think I've seen you post since my name change a few months ago.

[QUOTE=ACircuitShock]You are correct sir.

An album similar to Nick Drake's style is [I]The Good Son[/I] by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

[QUOTE=munky_magik]Try Canvas Solaris. They're instrumental though.[/QUOTE]

Do you have their new one yet? I should be getting it soon, hoping it's worth it.

[QUOTE=Silenius]

I'm actually here quite a bit, just not posting all that often :)

What Mekong Delta album should I get first?
Assuming I can find it of course!

I've been meaning to check out the self-titled for ages now, having heard it was good.

[QUOTE=Bartender]Do you have their new one yet? I should be getting it soon, hoping it's worth it.[/QUOTE]
I sort of have it in Mp3 form thanks to Neuro.
I've mostly forgotten that I have it though, so I'm not really sure if it's good.

Mekong Delta is cool progressive thrash type stuff. Both the self-titled and [I]The Music of Erich Zann[/I] are great.

Ah well, perhaps then it's me who doesnt post in the same threads as you or something.


Anyways, greatings, hadn't seen you forever. :)
