listen to lip gloss and black, if you like it. listen to the whole of sucide notes and butterfly kisses. and then listen to bleeding mascara, if you like it, listen to the whole of the curse

They only have one album (s/t) which its really worth getting. I would reccommend listening to Battle Against Time.

[QUOTE=DVG]
Can anyone reccomned some Beautiful heavy music? Like... Cynic or Aghora, Sometimes the music is light and airey, then intense, then haunting. Its hard to describe. Anyone? I've checked out Aethist, but there a tad too heavy for what i'm looking for, and i lose some sense of melody when listening to them.

I'd second Gordian Knot (especially) and Therion. Maybe even Hollenthon.

The Beatles
Bob Dylan

cheers :) [/QUOTE]

For the Beatles, I'd say [i]Revolver[/i], first and foremost, and then [i]Rubber Soul[/i] and [i]Abbey Road[/i] slightly below it.

For Dylan, my personal favourite is [i]The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan[/i], but that's a very folk-y album. If that doesn't sound like what you want, then try his later, more rock-like albums - [i]Blonde on Blonde[/i], [i]Highway 61 Revisited[/i] and [i]Desire[/i].

Those are all amongst his better-known releases, too. Once you get a feel for him (and whether you like him or not) you can start exploring his many other releases.

Can someone recommend me some good metalcore? Along the lines of Everytime I Die, The Agony Scene, Killswitch Engage.

Dillenger Escape Plan
Ion Dissonace

they are the only ones I enjoy.

Have you heard Psyopus?

can someone recommend me some songs by tool?

start with this for Tool

the Grudge
Tick & Leeches
Parabol
Parabola
Jimmy
Hooker with a P'enis
Push-it
Eulogy
Third Eye
4 Degrees
Prison Sex
Sober

thanks stranger

what are tool like?

[QUOTE=roulette dares 3]what are tool like?[/QUOTE]

very weird, alternative music with alot of winks towards metal
long songs in genral with weird structures, (often interlining)
the lyrics are very deep and meaningfull, and require a lot of research if you truly want to understand them.
Tool consists of Four members.
one of the things you will notice is the very rhytmic sound, and the lack of melody.
the band is really driven by the trhytm section, but their guitarist is wel capable of awesome licks too.

check out my above post for song recommendations

thnanks for the explanation. Im still looking for a melodic metal band with clean vocals but there seems to be no such band, but while i was searching i did find a band i liked...unearth. Can someone recommend me some bands simiiar to unearth, one that doesnt uses a seven string so i can play along with. Oh and a melodic metal band with clean vocals would be cool to. Respnoses appreciated.

Nevermore, maybe? Their music has a lot of melody to it, and their singer has a clean voice.

yepp, nevermore just has heavy metal singing.
anyway, if you like melodic stuff.i suggest you try and listen to in flames. although, they have growls. but i think the melody may make you want to listen to the songs even more. listen to their newer works for less growling and more clean vocals. try...evil in a closet, the quiet place, my sweet shadow...

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]Would Tool be considered post-metal?[/QUOTE]
Tool is really hard to put in a genre.
Post-metal or post-rock doesn't seem to be too far of.
but I'm not really an expert on Tool, I enjoy their music a lot, but I'm not too big on them.

a mix between post-metal and alternative seems ok to me:)

for anyother discussion I recommend you ask in the Tool thread

thanks ill check them out..can someone also recommend me a band like unearth with six string guittars rather than 7?

Can anyone recommend me some really classical orcheastral guitar music please.

ThankYou

Jason Becker
Yngwie Malmsteen
Symphony X

Edit: Sorry, I forgot the ocheastral part...But Symphony X has a lot of orchestrated parts, check out The Odyssey.

i like in flames because their singer almost has a clean voice imo but do they solo at all, i know melodic most of the time means slow but it would also be good if there was a technical side as well..and are nevermore technical as well?

Nevermore is as technical as hell...brilliant, brilliant solos.

In Flames, their older stuff had solos...not brilliant, but still good.

I strongly suggest you check out nevermore - enemies of reality :thumb:

i could still use some suggestions for some acoustic hard rock songs. somewhere along the lines of Atomship - Withered, Incubus's acoustic ****, Breaking Benjamin's acoustic ****...just hard rock acoustic...help me out here

You could maybe check out Alice In Chains' acoustic EP ([i]Jar of Flies[/i]?), and maybe Jane's Addiction in general.

in flame's work does contain solos but i dont know if you could call it solos though, its really brief...

can someone suggest an meloic and aggresive technical nevermore song or songs?

[QUOTE=roulette dares 3]can someone suggest an meloic and aggresive technical nevermore song or songs?[/QUOTE]

Who is the guy(s) that do the metal christmas carols?

Pat Boone?

The Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

What CD should I get next, Trivium (Ascendensy), All That Remains (The Darkened Heart), or Nightwish (Once)?

I've been getting into Stoner doom. I have Electric Wizard's Dopethrone (love it) and Sleep's Dopesmoker (love it, but not as much as Dopethrone). I need more.

What is there?

[QUOTE=The Cynic]What CD should I get next, Trivium (Ascendensy), All That Remains (The Darkened Heart), or Nightwish (Once)?[/QUOTE]

I want to jump up and say Nightwish, but I'm bias because I don't care for the other two. What do you like?

[quote=The Cynic]What CD should I get next, Trivium (Ascendensy), All That Remains (The Darkened Heart), or Nightwish (Once)?[/quote]

try and get all. but if i had to choose. i'd go for ascendency.

Freak kitchen

I'm looking for some prog,

either old in the same vein as [B]Pink Floyd[/B] (DSOTM style)
or new like Porcupine Tree, Riverside etc

Just some deep sounding music i can chill out to like that

maybe try the doors out?

as far as pink floyd goes (just in case you were looking for any floyd songs) u can give echoes a try.

ooo and i just suggest this song to any1 but i think u'll like it if your in a dsotm feeling, Three Days from Jane's Addiction

does any1 have any suggestions for john lennons solo career (other than imagine)?

Can anyone recommend me a band that sounds like The Darkest Nights from As I Lay Dying?

I kinda like hardcore, but I like the pattern of 70% screaming and 30% singing melodicaly.

Thank you.

Trivium kind of sound like them.

Soilworks "Stabbing the Drama" is good.

Also, Demon Hunter is a mix of screaming and singing but you may not like them.
