[QUOTE=panthersfan16]no, but killswitch is okay..., actually, do u know what Children of Bodom albums are good?[/QUOTE]

Bodom, ehh? Now you're speaking my language. Follow The Reaper is probably their best album. It has the best somewriting and technicallity. However, if you're looking to sacrifice a little bit of those for more brutality, then get Hate Crew Deathroll. But all of their albums are great, you can't go wrong.

mmm..brutal...anyother bands u can think of like that?

Children of Bodom - Power metal with harsh vocals.
Dark Tranquillity - Melodic death, check out the Character album.
Cryptopsy - Straight up death metal, try None So Vile.
Immortal - Good black metal.
Behemoth - Off the chain heavy death. Check out Demigod
Hypocrisy - Early albums are heavy death/melodic death, later are more melodic
Death - The founders of death metal, early albums are quite heavy, later are more progressive.
Soilwork - Try A Predator's Portrait or Stabbing The Drama, good melo death.
Slayer - Good old thrash, never fails to get the blood pumping.

I'll add more as I think of them...

thanks thats exactly what ive been looking for :thumb:

[QUOTE=Animosity_62]Those aren't really Speed Metal though. I mean like something along the lines of Metal Church or old Blind Guardian and such[/QUOTE]

I fail to see how kreator, exumer and hirax are not speed metal when metal church is. Although thrash, they are still also speed metal.

Perhaps flotsam and jetsam, annilihator are more what you mean then, but like metal church, they are still thrash.

Anyone recommend me some good power metal?

there's a genre thread and i'm sure it's got some bands listed in there

[URL=http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=166577]http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=166577[/URL]

Manowar, Dream Evil, Stratovarius, Children of Bodom, Norther, Kalmah (the last three are power, just with harsh vocals), Angra, Dragonforce, Helloween, Blind Guardian, Sinergy(more often than not), Nightwish.
I'll add more as I think of them...

[QUOTE=x_Evilized_x]Anyone recommend me some good power metal?[/QUOTE]

In addition to what magik said (he always beats me to these things :)), Sonata Arctica, Blind Guardian, Primal Fear, Hammerfall, Helloween, Dragonforce and Battlelore are worth checking out.

[quote='Tender](he always beats me to these things :) )[/quote]

I can't figure out if that's a good or a bad thing.


And actually, while you, and I, are here. Which do you recommend out of Fishing for Luckies? or Fishing for More luckies? I'm leaning more towards the latter.

Yeah I love Dream Evil, wanted more bands like them. =P I have a lot of the bands you suggested, but a few I havent and I'll check out, thanks. =)

You can go to [url]http://www.metal-archives.com[/url] and search for Power Metal under "music genre" in the menu bar at the left hand side. You will then be presented with a [i]massve[/i] list, which I'm sure you can happily work your way through.

Well the first one, the fan club release, only has six tracks. I'm not sure you'd be able to find a copy of that anyway.

Fishing For More Luckies has nine tracks, and includes all the 'important'* FFL tracks - Sky Babies, Do the Channel Bop, Schizophonic, Inglorious - as well as a few others exclusive to the release, including what is (I think) the first appearance of Geordie in Wonderland, and an alternate (longer) version of I Wanna Go.

The Fishing For Luckies re-release has 10 songs, and also includes the 'important' tracks listed above, as well as other tracks only really available on that album (and also, inexplicably, Sick of Drugs and Red Light-Green Light). As usual, the only real solution is get both :) I think the important thing really is to have heard Sky Babies, Schizophonic and Do the Channel Bop. The tracks exclusive to each disc make a nice extra, though. The tracklistings, so you can make your own mind up in the end, are;

FFML
1. Inglorious
2. If Life is Like A Lovebank I Want An Overdraft
3. Schizophonic
4. Do The Channel Bop
5. Geordie In Wonderland
6. Sky Babies
7. Underkill
8. Saddened
9. I Wanna Go Where The People Go (Early Version)

and for FFL re-release;
1. Inglorious
2. Sick Of Drugs
3. Red Light-Green Light
4. Schitzophonic
5. Soul Searching On The Planet Earth
6. Do The Channel Bop
7. Mood Swings & Roundabouts
8. In Like Flynn
9. Sky Babies
10. Nite Songs

FFML was the first I got, so I'm partial to it.

*Sky Babies is an important track because it's the longest they've ever done (11 1/2 minutes), and also close to the best. It was something of a live myth until they played it live on every date of a tour a couple of years ago, so it's got some cool fan mythology attached to it.
Schizophonic is important because, apart from a great song, they sometimes play it live.
Do the Channel Bop is important because 1. it's effortlessly cool, and 2. [i]Silverginger 5[/i] sometimes play it live.

I was gonna get both anyway, but I just wanted to decide since I'm going to order the [i]Along comes Mary[/i] single from Amazon and I figured I should make it a worthwhile order.
I have Schizophonic already, and SG5 did Inglorious for the BLM bonus disc. I don't know how often they did it though.

I think I'll go for FFML.

They didn't do it when I saw them :( They did do Do The Channel Bop though, which was cool.

You'll be happy with either of them though, I imagine.

Yea, well....They've yet to dissapoint me :)

Power Metal?

Iced Earth is great. So is Fintroll.

What would you say is the best Nine Inch Nails album? I want to get one, and I'm leaning towards The Downward Spiral.

Depends what you want. For example, The Downward Spiral is more rock/metal orientated, harder-edged material, though it does have softer, sometimes ambient, moments (including the world-slaying Hurt). The Fragile, on the other hand, is more or less the opposite; it's on the whole more experimental that TDS. It's also a double album, where TDS is single.

I just got the Kyuss album [I]Blues for the Red Sun[/I] and was wondering if anyone can recommend me any similar bands/albums.

I think a lot of the bands mentioned by the threadstarter in this thread

[url]http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=269299[/url]

should be close to what you're looking for.

Where can I find The Rolling Stone's and The Who's discography??? I can't find 'em.

can someone reccomend me some manowar songs

[QUOTE=madeyadams]Try [url]http://www.amazon.com[/url] and just search for those bands. Otherwise, just look at the official band website.. they usually have a section named discography.[/QUOTE]They don't though, thats the thing.

[QUOTE=lintmunro]Is that directed at me? Either way, I'll check them out.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that was for you. Pay attention to more or less anything Give Me Beer recommends; unless he specifically states that it's not, then it's likely to be stoner rock in the vein you seem to be looking for.

[QUOTE=Mind Revolution]

Battle Hymns (sometimes Battle Hymn)
Brothers of Metal
Kings of Metal
The Gods Made Heavy Metal
Hail and Kill
Death Tone
Manowar
Revelation (Death's Angel)

I bought Battle Hymns today for 4 pounds \m/

/off-topic

For Man-O-War check out Hand of Doom, one of my fave songs by them.

[QUOTE=Grateful Dead]If you could, at some point, upload Sky Babies and the extended version of I Wanna Go, I'd be very grateful. :)[/QUOTE]

Nicely done. Like it?

[QUOTE=Bartender]Nicely done. Like it?[/QUOTE]

It's a lot different to the other stuff I have heard by them (and am used to) but it is decent...not fantastic. Some really good moments.

[QUOTE=evilmenhavenosongs]I have a feeling that this should go in Other Music but we all know how much traffic that place gets.

I've been looking into Industrial, Darkwave, EBM etc. but I'm fairly new to it for the most part because there's just so much to get through basically.

At the moment I have some bands that I suspect from reveiws and stuff are good but I either can't get a hold of anything by them or I'm not sure of which album to get etc.

Faetal
Code 64
The Retrosic
Pain
Neuroticfish
Children On Stun
Hanzel Und Gretyl
Juno Reactor
Dulce Liquido
My Sixth Shadow
NIMP

I'm not sure if this is strictly allowed in the thread but what the hell. Which are worth following up and which just suck? Any other suggestions? Also, which Wumpscut album to get? I hear they vary in quality quite a lot. And are Audrey Horne worth investigating?[/QUOTE]


I feel terribly impolite quoting myself again but I'm just waiting till somebody who knows anything comes along. I managed to get some Dulce Liquido and Juno Reactor on Soulseek so that's a thumbs up. :)
