Thanks folks. Appreciate the recs. Will have to check out Insect Warfare first I think.

Hmm so I am loving fall of efrafa. Anybody know any other bands that are very similar (not necessarily the concept but the sound I am after)

Vestiges
Icos
Downfall of Gaia
Finisterre
Ictus
Unquiet

ill look into them, the similar artists currently on their page are really nothing like them...

finisterre sounds so much like fall of efrafa i get songs confused sometimes

Same with Vestiges.

Cheers for the recs :)

Looking for some instrumental stuff, been listening to Scale The Summit, Cloudkicker, East of the wall, Pelican a lot lately and would like some more but don't really know where to look.

Goth and Doom Metal Recomendations?
 

Looking for stuff in these genres. Just give me the big names first then others I might like. Thanks! :smash:

check the first post in this thread for doom metal. the thing is if you want the big names of a genre a simple google search should do you fine, until you want to dig deeper

Looking for some Doom/Stoner recs ala Black Sabbath and Church Of Misery...Stoner stuff without lyrics about weed maybe(holy oxymoron!)

What's up guys? If you could spare some of your knowledge, I'm looking for the following flavors :

1. Strongly metal-rooted bands* with some kind of a punk edge, a la Stray from the Path. I'm especially interested in vocals that... stray from the path, as I feel Dijorio's voice does but anything with SftP's energy should do the trick!

2. Something that feels as insane as the second Embrace the End record (without going as far as Psyopus, for exemple, that just feels a little too cold). By that I mean technicality, energy and, of course, RAGE. That's important!

* edit : sumerian recs labels it 'alt hardcore', which doesn't mean much so me, honestly, but if it can help anybody giving out band names, well here it is.

run with the hunted
botch
converge
trap them
bled2deth

Already knew 3/5 but I'll check the other two, thanks man.

Anybody else?

Architects - Nightmares
The Secret - Luce
Owen Hart - Earth Control
Kerouac - Cold and Distant, Not Loving

you said botch were "good", and that clearly means you haven't listened to them enough.

listen to them again.

@Malcomx : I actually listened to [I]We Are the Romans[/I] on my way to work, just put it back in my pod. I think I'm having issues with the vocals, but yes, definitely, I'll listen again. I must get my hand on American Nervoso. And I went straight ahead and blind-bought Trap Them cause the reviews on site were pretty convincing. I do that sometimes.

@ Malleus : I HATE [I]Nightmares[/I], largely cause of the atrocious production, but will definitely look at the three others. The Secrets looks like it could very well go into my tastes. Thanks a bunch, man.

LIGHT BEARER

it's the members of Fall of Efrafa's new(ish) band

That gif is... killing me.

@ MalcomX : Darker Handcraft, what a ride! The vocal signature is refreshing. It's a bit short, but pretty good! This is pretty much the punkish energy I was talking about.

if you dig Trap Them listen to Backstabbers Inc too, some of the members were in that band before Trap Them

rec me stuff like rinoa and rosetta's newest albums

Year of No Light, Time To Burn, Amenra

maybe

Bella Morte, Black Veil Brides, & Dir En Grey!

Here are some reviews:

http://www.fearnet.com/news/reviews/b22892_bella_morte_before_flood_cd_review.html

Bella Morte is an old-school horror rock, industrial and '80s style post-punk blend.

http://www.fearnet.com/news/b22886_dir_en_grey_reveal_new_album_info.html

Known for their avant-garde blend of melodic pop-rock, savage screaming metal and exotic experimentation, Dir En Grey are always pulling the rug out from under our expectations.

http://www.fearnet.com/news/b22868_Black_Veil_Brides___Set_the_World_on_Fire____CD_Review.html?intcid=search_all_black-veiled

Black Veil Brides' solid, anthemic rock melodies and cocky, KISS-influenced onstage image work together in all the right ways.

They got a new single up! "Mirror Mirror"

Like they're page they need us music lovers help guys:wave:!!!

Radiohead

Maybe a bit of a strange request, but can you guys recommend me an album that sounds like Bush's "Letting the Cables Sleep"? ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UWCURWZlQI[/url]) I don't particularly like Bush as such, but that song is great. Preferably with a bit of a raw voice like that dude has.

the screaming trees?

idk why but watching Bush videos gave me the sudden urge to listen to this
