[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]I'm f[size=2]u[/size]cking sick of people treating Gothenburg as seperate to Melodic Death.

It's like treating Bay-Area thrash as something different to Thrash, when it shouldn't be.[/QUOTE]
cause gothenburg is different to melodic death... for those who listen exactly, and for experts... you won't believe it but there is a difference

For the rest though I'll just download songs at random for each of those bands..and pick an album in which my favorite song/s are in. Well for the bands I like...

And Apocolyptic Raids: Yeah, I have some songs that I have to check out too.

:p oopsies. I realy have to stop..

Yeah your right...it was just that I searched power metal and came up with 2000 + bands.

I might use this place now and try out a band at random everynow and then...or maybe not.

VileHunter 02-12-2006 10:26 AM

What is some death metal that I would like? I have heard a LOT, but the only bands I really liked are Nile and Cryptopsy... I also like Opeth... but imo, they are in no way, shape, or form death metal, although a lot of people say they are.

Shattered_Future 02-12-2006 10:29 AM

[QUOTE=Stoic]:-*

Actually, it's Valkiria. :p

Almost looks like Spanish power metal, judging from some of the song titles.

You'd probably like Behemoth. Try their album [i]Demigod[/i].

Thanks Iron Bars.

Freezing Moon 02-12-2006 06:33 PM

So I am looking for some more power metal that isn't really cheesy.

So far the stuff I have liked the most is either really close to speed metal, like Jag Panzer, or is really epic without being extremely cheesy like Blind Guardian.

I can't stand some of the newer Power Metal stuff that is an absolute cheese-fest.

Suggestions?

Apocalyptic Raids 02-12-2006 06:37 PM

Dungeon. I think I've mentioned them to you before. All their albums are good, though I like [I]A Rise To Power[/I] most.

You could also try Demons & Wizards. It has Hansi's awesome vocals, but with nice thrashy riffage. Get the self-titled, the second album isn't nearly as good.

Pagan's Mind is a very good band IMO, they are a prog/power band, that sound similar to dream theater. I highly suggest you check them out.

Yea Dungeon is a very good band, i have "A Rise to Power", which is a very good album.

lark_demon 02-12-2006 06:41 PM

hmmm, well i made a post and was told go here.
ok then, so can anybody recommend Tool/A Perfect Circle-esque bands?

I don't like Dream Theater at all, but if you highly suggest them I might give them a chance.

I'll check out Dungeon, I've put it off too long.

Cog. Particularly their Just Visiting EP's. It's quite good stuff. I actually have an album uploaded at the moment, so I could send you a link to download it if you post your e-mail.

Freezing Moon: I'll third the Dungeon suggestion.

Deftones. Check out White Pony first. Around the Fur has some really cool songs like Be Quiet and Drive but is alot less expirimental. Self-Titled has to grow on you but becomes really great.

Neurotoxin uploaded that for the Daily Upload last year. It was like if DT went Power Metal. I didn't like it much, but I don't get into the technical/progressive stuff much anymore.

It has better riffs than DT though. Not as much wankage either.
