I would probably go to all of those except the third one because I don't know who it is.


asymm, you might like to try some of these;

The Red Chord - [I]Fused Together in Revolving Doors[/I]
Meshuggah - [I]I[/I]
Carcass - [I]Heartwork[/I]
Cynic - [I]Focus[/I]

They're some of my favourites, as well as the Cryptopsy album Zebra mentioned and some of ATM's picks.

If you have to choose, choose Meshuggah.

[QUOTE]I'm hoping to expand my knowledge of metal, but haven't had much luck finding distinctive bands that really stick with me. So, give me some recommendations for someone who likes these four records:
Pig Destroyer - Phantom Limb
Mastodon - Blood Mountain
Neurosis - Given to the Rising
Boris - Akuma No Uta

They don't necessarily have to sound like these four, but are maybe of a similar fanbase. Also - try to steer clear from the post-metal/shoegazey sound, I want my metal to have some balls.[/QUOTE]
Atheist - [I]Unquestionable Presence[/I]
Converge - [I]Jane Doe[/I]

and I second the Cynic recommendation. It doesn't really have much balls like you asked, but I think you'd appreciate it anyway.

at the gates slaughter of the souuullll

maudlin of the Well - [I]Bath[/I] (got me into metal)
Sigh - [I]Hangman's Hymn[/I] (from what I've heard this is not as good as their other albums, but I haven't heard those, and this ****ing rules)

Converge-When Forever Comes Crashing, favorite converge record.

man this whole scene is just so angry

Ooh also, Suma - Let the Churches Burn

agalloch and death

Between the Buried and Me - The Silent Circus
Death - Individual Thought Patterns
Cynic - Focus

Burnt By The Sun
Ephel Duath

I would say the Red Chord as well, but Andy pipped me.

Try The Melvins and more Boris, Cult of Luna, Ufomammut.

Slayer - Reign in Blood

Salyer is overrated in terms of their speed and statnism crap, but they are a good metal band.
Between the Buried and Me-Alaska
Dillinger Escape Plan-Miss Machine and Calculating Infinity.

I struggle with most metal tbh, but I'd second Dopethrone by Elecric Wizard.

Callisto are a pretty decent Post-Metal band aswell, better than most of that stuff that goes on around them I think.

[QUOTE=Tangy]Burnt By The Sun[/QUOTE]

I like these guys a lot. I think Tangy introduced me to them a couple years ago.

Today is the Day ~ [I]Sadness will Prevail[/I]

and a lot of stuff already mentioned, Electric Wizard and stuff

[QUOTE=br3ad_man;14915773]I like these guys a lot. I think Tangy introduced me to them a couple years ago.[/QUOTE]

Yes I did. It's Brann Dailor's pre-Mastodon joint I believe. Heavy stuff.

ufomammut is ok, very repetitive, unless you're high i would not know. i assume it would be incredible

[QUOTE=niobium41;14917720]ufomammut is ok, very repetitive, unless you're high i would not know. i assume it would be incredible[/QUOTE]

I like it both ways. They're really good.

I've listened to it driving around getting stoned before. Pretty nice.

I saw Disco Biscuits last night. It knocked me on my as[COLOR="Black"]s.[/COLOR] They put on a great show. If anybody here wants to check em' out, heres their album Senor Boombox.

Hey Derek!

Tnagy! Hows everything man? Going good I;d hope to presume?

I went to a free Do Make Say Think/Final Fantasy show the other day. Actually I didn't really want to go since I don't like either of them but a certain lady friend *convinced* me to and I found the book that I was looking for on the way there so it wasn't all that bad.

Ah I'd quite like to see both those bands, were either any good?
