Alright thanks everyone, I've started to get into black metal in the last few days, partially due to your help. Thanks again. I've found some albums with fairly clear production that didn't suck, too.

Other than the 'Big Four(Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer)', please.

I would like to recomend Alter Bridge. This is album One Day Remains was veiwed wrong by alot of people. Everytime i ask someone do you know Alter Bridge? If its a yes i ask do u like them? They say no their alot like creed. They are not creed. Not even close..the songs they've done on that cd Creed could never do. Tremonti and the guys have definatly improved greatly and hooking up with Myles Kennedy who is forming to be one of the most exciting frontment when live. Tremonti's breathtaking solos win the croud. And Myles voice and Scott Stapps voice cant be compared...their different.

Their first single Open Your Eyes sound alot like Creed, they didnt want to loose all their old creed fans. People got the wrong impression...Broken Wings sounds like Creed as well so people said, this is creed with a different singer. It isnt, listen ot their cd, listen to metalingus, Creed couldnt imagine doing this song. This cd is much heavier than the creed cd's. The sound is not similar.

Their next CD will not sound like Creed. No more, it will be heaveir is what AB fans have heard from Tremonti. The Record label gives them no promotion as well so their sales for One Day Remains sucked. Theres alot of interveiws and live performances at [url]www.alterbridgeband.net[/url] jus click on media. They have like a load of stuff there.:thumb:

Can anyone recommend me some more power metal? I heard kamelot's epica and didnt really like it. It seemed to watered down. But ive also been listening to falconer and there awsome. So what other power metal should i get?

Blind Guardian.
Iced Earth(not everybody looks at them as powermetal)

I dont know that many bands in the genre, although, Im getting into it a lot slowly.

Stormrider 12-26-2005 08:09 PM

[QUOTE=Med57]In addition to the bands already mentioned:

Nightwish
Sonata Arctica
Wintersun
Savatage
Manowar
Edguy
Stratovarius
Children of Bodom

They're all good, to varying degrees.[/QUOTE]

Heh, Im getting into PM latly too and since you recomended the band Manowar, can you name me a few songs please ?

Thanks.

Stormrider 12-26-2005 08:19 PM

[QUOTE=Med57]Sure..if you want an album, then get [i]Battle Hymns[/i] or [i]Kings Of Metal[/i]. Both are ludicrously over the top, but absolutely brilliant examples of the genre.

In terms of songs, I'd recommend

[i]The Gods Made Heavy Metal
Fighting The World
Blow Your Speakers
Dark Avenger
Hail To England
The Crown And The Ring
Flight Of The Bumblebee[/i][/QUOTE]

Ah okay, Thanks again.

The Cynic 01-01-2006 01:46 AM

Can anyone reccomend me some Machine Head, Cynic and Cryptocracy(sp?)? Albums and Songs, Thanks.

Tyler 01-01-2006 02:16 AM

[QUOTE=The Cynic]Can anyone reccomend me some Machine Head, Cynic and Cryptocracy(sp?)? Albums and Songs, Thanks.[/QUOTE]


[U]Cryptocracy? Maybe you mean Cryptopsy...[/U]

Well, their first two albums, Blasphemy Made Flesh and None So Vile are both amazing, and the new one isnt bad, bud I'd ignore the ones in between. Some good songs are

- Slit Your Guts
- Open Face Surgery
- Gravaged (A Cryptopsy)
- Orgiastic Disembowelment
- Phobophile

[U]Cynic.[/U]

Cynic only really had one album, if you dont consider the few demos floating around. Anyways, that album is focus and it's unbelievable, I'd seriously recommend anything off of it, but here are a few standouts.

Songs:

- Textures
- Veil Of Maya
- Celestial Voyage.

I can't help with the Machine Head, though, sorry.

[QUOTE=The Cynic]Can anyone reccomend me some Machine Head, Cynic and Cryptocracy(sp?)? Albums and Songs, Thanks.[/QUOTE]

For would Machine Head I would recommend Burn My Eyes. The problem with Machine Head in my opinion is that they have done maybe 15 excellent songs, spread over all their albums, with average songs used as if for fillers. Possibly no one else will agree though.

Some good songs are davidan, elegy, struck nerve, from this day, imperium.

my favorite kamelot song is center of the universe. maybe epica just isnt a good song. the black halo is good too.

for more power metal bands, check out the gigantour. idont know if they come where you live but just do a search or try gigantour.com

A bloody brilliant band, but you have to like that kind of music.

Personally with machinehead id suggest eathier 'Through the Ashes of Empires or 'Hellalive'

I believe there's a new album in the works, if not already released.

Watchman 01-01-2006 08:43 PM

I think they just released it, within the last couple of months at least. [i]World of Lies[/i], I think is the title.

Children Of Bodom are awesome. Oh, so are Kalmah if they are classed as power metal.

Stoic 01-06-2006 05:10 AM

[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]Can someone give me a band similar to Overkill.[/QUOTE]

Now this [I]is[/I] tough. These came to my mind but are possibly inaccurate:
Metal Church
Razor
early Annihilator

I'm sure the guys in the thrash thread will be much more helpful :p

Watchman 01-06-2006 07:21 AM

[QUOTE=Basstallica]pantera man.....they defineatly deserve to be in the top four :thumb:[/QUOTE]

They're not thrash, and the Big Four is the Big Four, whether you think they're the top four or not.

Apocalyptic Raids 01-06-2006 07:34 AM

[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]Can someone give me a band similar to Overkill.[/QUOTE]
That's tough... I could give you a whole heap of thrash bands, but none really sound like Overkill to me, and I don't have heaps of Overkill.

RCA is the resident Overkill fanboy. Ask him.

Greenfont 01-06-2006 10:32 AM

[QUOTE=Fullysick metal man]What would anybody consider to be the most destructofying explodofying and most unlistinable extreme music known to man?

one that would create such an awsome wall of sound that it would shatter n00b ears upon first listening.

Black/death/grind whatever would be acceptable


i'm using this as an example of what kind of noise explosions i'm looking for as its the most extreme example in my (limited) music collection.

[url]http://musica.mustdie.ru/en/band/gorgoroth/3845/[/url][/QUOTE]
Atari Teenage Riot's Burn. Burlin, Burn! This is the heaviest mess of noise that i have heard in a long time.

GenuineImitation 01-06-2006 02:05 PM

I guess I'll check the Trash Thread then. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Stoic and Apocalyptic Raids.

IŽd add Nuclear Assault and Forbidden to that list.Not really THAT similar,but if you like Overkill youŽll usually like those two as well.

JackG 01-06-2006 02:20 PM

Led Zeppelin-Physical Graffiti
Led Zeppelin-Presence
Ratm-The Battle Of Los Angeles
Slipknot 9.0 Live
Pink Floyd-Dark Side Of The Moon
